Chapter Title: Ah, It's Fine If You Refuse
"Ah, it's fine even if you refuse."
In truth, Tilf had planned to give Jinwoo and Hilde a piece of her mind once they returned.
Neglecting the hunt because they got distracted by sex—what nerve.
Even if they were here to help, it was downright infuriating.
It could lead to an accident, or even tank morale.
Personal feelings aside,
as the one in charge of hunting, she felt she had to point it out at least.
-Thud!
But those words got swallowed whole by the massive deer Jinwoo dropped to the ground.
"Whoa! That's incredible!"
"How did you catch something like this on your first hunt?"
"Just got lucky."
Jinwoo scratched his head with an awkward smile.
Tilf was floored.
She'd clearly seen him lost in wild sex with Hilde.
Yet here he was with this huge catch.
Meanwhile, she'd only nabbed a single bird because she was too busy keeping an eye on him.
At this rate, she couldn't say a damn thing.
'Ugh... when the hell did he even hunt that?'
In the end, the hunt wrapped up just like that.
It stung, but she had to admit it.
Kim Jinwoo's presence was a real boon to the hunt.
Even if enemies ambushed them out of nowhere,
Jinwoo could probably crush them with overwhelming skill.
Whether they snuck in some sex midway or whatever—the results spoke for themselves.
With results like this, she had nothing to say.
She'd been trying to gather excuses to convince her sister not to let him join hunts anymore,
but any reason or justification for that had just vanished.
"Hey, Tilf."
As she stewed in her thoughts,
Jinwoo approached first and spoke up.
"Mind if we talk alone for a bit?"
"Just the two of us?"
She eyed him warily.
Maybe she was overreacting.
Objectively speaking, he was just a good guy helping out the village purely.
But Tilf had her reasons for reacting this way.
The future she'd glimpsed using the World Tree's power for divination.
The expression on her face as she nestled in Jinwoo's arms back then...
and the look on Hilde's face as she clung to him earlier... they were identical.
'...Am I really going to make that blissful face in the arms of a pervert like him?'
She absolutely couldn't allow that.
She was the village's one and only shrine maiden.
Plus, his lewd personal life was no secret.
So she had no choice but to keep tabs on him.
"...What do you want to say?"
At any rate, the two ended up meeting alone in a secluded spot in the woods.
This setup felt a little risky,
but she figured it'd be fine.
Especially since she was on high alert against him.
As long as she didn't give him any openings, there shouldn't be a problem.
"Lately, someone's been peeking on us a lot."
But at Jinwoo's words,
Tilf lost her composure, her face flushing bright red.
He knew?
Since when?
"W-What are you talking about?"
She tried to play it off,
but Jinwoo's face said he already knew everything.
He slowly closed in on her.
Maybe because she had a guilty conscience?
Tilf unwittingly backed away.
"Every time I'm with another woman, you watch from hiding. Especially when it's outdoors."
"Y-You're imagining things."
"Imagining? You watched us all the way through even during the hunt earlier."
Thud—Tilf's back hit a tree.
With nowhere left to run, Jinwoo pressed right up close.
Just a bit closer, and their bodies would be fully pressed together.
'This guy... was he always this big?'
Truth be told, their height difference was pretty significant.
Tilf was on the short side, unlike her sister Reina,
and Jinwoo towered even over Reina.
But it wasn't just about height.
She'd just witnessed his passionate session with Hilde.
Maybe that's why Jinwoo seemed somehow even larger now.
It felt like psychological pressure bearing down on her.
"Are you keeping tabs on me? Or maybe you're interested in me?"
"O-Obviously I'm watching to see what you'll do! You're an outsider! I have the duty and right to do that!"
"Even so, you don't need to watch me have sex with women."
Jinwoo reached out a hand.
He gently teased her chin.
It felt like seduction,
or maybe like he was mockingly amused.
"...Remove your hand. Now."
"And if I don't?"
"I'll scream, and tell my sister you tried to assault me."
"You okay with that?"
Jinwoo whispered without pulling his hand away.
"If word gets out, I'll get chased off. Then who's gonna hold back the dark elves?"
"A-Are you threatening me right now?"
"Isn't that why you're letting me touch your chin without a fuss?"
"......"
Tilf clenched her fists tight.
She couldn't deny it—the elves couldn't afford to drive him away right now.
Otherwise, war would erupt immediately.
Of course, unbeknownst to her, Lucy the dragon was already under Jinwoo's control,
and the dark elves had retreated on his orders.
But Tilf had no way of knowing that.
"Ah, of course, it's fine if Tilf refuses. I can just go to Reina then. Honestly, she's more my type anyway."
"I-If you lay a finger on my sister, I won't forgive you!"
"So what'll you do?"
Jinwoo said it with a sly undertone.
The implication was crystal clear—no further explanation needed.
".......Filthy bastard."
In truth, Tilf had sensed it the moment he turned aggressive.
She had no choice but to yield to his blackmail.
The fate of her people hung in this man's hands.
Unless the elves gained the power to surpass the dark elves and orcs,
they had to rely on him.
After all, wasn't she the one who'd brought him here in the first place?
Even if she refused somehow,
he'd really go after Reina.
And her kind, gentle sister would sacrifice herself for the village without hesitation.
She couldn't let that happen.
Better if she bore it herself.
"......What do you want?"
"As expected of Tilf. You catch on quick."
Jinwoo released her chin.
Then he buried his face in her neck.
"Ah... Hnng!"
A sharp tingle shot through her body.
Jinwoo was licking and sucking at her nape.
'W-What... is this feeling...?'
Yet an intense pleasure washed over her.
Like electricity crawling through her veins.
Just from sucking on her neck, and it felt this good.
What would full-on sex feel like, then?
Was this why those alluring women moaned so wildly in his arms?
"S-Stop it...!"
The sensation was too much to bear, and Tilf finally cried out.
Surprisingly, Jinwoo obediently pulled away.
Her breathing was already ragged,
and her nape burned bright red.
"Making that face from just this much?"
"Q-Quiet. I was just startled."
"So it's okay to do more?"
"......"
Tilf had no response.
Seizing the moment, Jinwoo gently stroked her chin again.
What had felt like mere humiliation before
now tickled faintly with this small gesture.
"If you keep being uncooperative, I might have to go to Reina."
"Kuh!"
"You don't want that, right, Tilf?"
Tilf bit her lip hard.
Her instincts hadn't been wrong.
This man was trash.
'But......I can't fight back.'
He held all the cards,
and was threatening something precious to her.
Tilf had no choice but to permit it.
"You can... do it......"
In the end, Tilf offered her neck with teary eyes.
But this time, Jinwoo didn't go there.
"Mmph!"
Their lips met directly.
Before Tilf could react, his tongue slipped into her mouth.
Jinwoo skillfully toyed with hers.
'W-Wait... nooo......'
It felt like her tongue was melting.
Memories of Hilde and Jinwoo's heated kiss flashed back.
Tilf reflexively tried to push him away.
But their builds and strength were worlds apart.
No—honestly, her focus on his tongue left her arms powerless.
'What is this... this weird feeling......'
Each twining of their tongues made her body twitch.
Her breath fell out of rhythm without her noticing, her tongue losing strength.
She never imagined a kiss alone could feel this ecstatic.
"Pha!"
Only when breathing became a struggle
did Jinwoo's lips finally part.
As she panted and glared at him,
Jinwoo teasingly tickled her chin like she was adorable.
"So, will you grant my little request for now? Ah, it's fine even if you refuse."
Tilf swallowed hard.
'As if you ever planned to let me refuse......'
