Chapter Title: Team Leader, This Isn't the Company
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Shin Seom-hwa was honestly baffled by the current situation.
Nightly moans echoing through the sex?
They got on her nerves, but she could understand it well enough.
But in broad daylight, in a forest like this? It was utterly incomprehensible by her standards.
"Uh, Team Leader? You could've rested comfortably."
"You, what are you doing right now?"
"What do you mean? Having sex."
Even more baffling was that they showed no signs of stopping even after being caught.
Right in front of her eyes, Jin-woo kept shaking his hips.
"Hng! Ahng! Haang!"
Jin-woo's cock slid in and out of her pussy.
Love juices dripped steadily from between Hilde's thighs.
The sight, complete with wet squelching sounds, was obscenely lewd.
"How can you do this in a forest like this... in a situation like this?"
"A forest or a cave, it's all the same."
As he spoke, Jin-woo thrust his cock deep into Hilde's pussy.
"Huaaang!"
Hilde reached climax, letting out a moan that had become all too familiar.
When he pulled his cock out, her pussy gaped open from its size.
With Jin-woo holding her thighs up, the pose was even more explicit.
"Haa, haa."
"It's consensual between us. That's fine, right?"
When he let go of her hands, Hilde leaned against the tree, panting heavily.
Her legs trembled slightly from the orgasm she'd just had.
Jin-woo naturally stroked Hilde's ass.
She shivered pleasantly at just that touch.
'What the heck. So brazen right in front of me...'
The restlessness in her chest that had persisted since arriving on this uninhabited island.
It felt like it was growing stronger by the day.
This time, she couldn't just let it slide.
With that thought, Shin Seom-hwa boldly spoke up.
"Even so, this is too much. At least during the day... or in front of me, please hold back."
"No thanks."
"Huh?"
What did he just say?
Shin Seom-hwa stared at Jin-woo with wide eyes.
He wore an emotionless expression he'd never shown her before.
"I don't see any reason why I should listen to you, Team Leader."
"Th-that may be true, but! Group living requires rules!"
"What Hilde and I do is private. If anything, isn't it rude of you to peep, Team Leader?"
She tried to counter. No, she had to.
But the words stuck in her throat.
The confident her from before would have spoken up boldly.
But this uninhabited island was making her hesitate.
"I, I..."
"Team Leader, this isn't the company."
Kim Jin-woo stepped forward assertively.
Her shoulders twitched involuntarily.
She suddenly realized he was a head taller than her.
"Whatever I do, I'll do it my way. You have no right to interfere for personal reasons. Got it?"
"That's... but..."
This side of Jin-woo was a first.
At the company, he was always smiling brightly, the good subordinate who listened to everything.
She never imagined he'd act like this.
They say a usually kind person gets scarier when angry.
Jin-woo, who always worked diligently in silence, acting out like this left her feeling oddly hurt and choked up.
'He used to follow my every word before.'
Could a change in situation really turn him like this?
A surge of resentment welled up inside her.
"Just kidding."
"......Huh?"
"Ahahaha! Why so surprised? Did you really think I'd get mad over something this trivial?"
"Uh, huh?"
Unable to grasp the situation, she blinked in confusion.
A joke? All that was just...?
"Sorry about that. Actually, the sex just now was to unlock my abilities. We have to do it to use our powers."
Jin-woo flashed his usual smile as if he'd never been serious, and began tending to the still-panting Hilde.
"For your abilities?"
Forgetting the earlier incident, Shin Seom-hwa reflexively asked.
Regaining her abilities was what she desired more than anything.
"I told you I reawakened my abilities, right? And that they're stronger than back in society."
She nodded.
The giant crab he'd hunted, the strength he'd shown repeatedly.
No matter how she looked at it, he'd grown far beyond the Jin-woo from society.
"Even compared to me, Hilde is much stronger. It's because our mana flows naturally during sex. More precisely, it's like the blocked energy gets released."
"Sex unblocks the mana flow?"
She'd never heard such a thing.
But then, the island itself suppressing mana was abnormal.
"Hilde and I discovered by chance that massages and sex unblock our mana flow. We've been doing it steadily since."
"So that's why you've been doing it every day?"
"I mentioned before that sex improves my condition, right?"
Shin Seom-hwa nodded.
The day after she first saw them having sex, he'd said exactly that.
"It's partly true. Of course, lust plays a role too. But it makes the mana flow feel much smoother."
She never imagined there was such a secret.
But it wasn't some on-the-spot excuse or lie.
He'd been saying that from the start.
"We're just prepping our mana in case of unexpected hunts."
"Hmm, I see."
Shin Seom-hwa nodded.
'Of course, Kim Jin-woo wouldn't have sex in front of me or snap at me without reason.'
There were circumstances and explanations for it all.
Thinking that way eased the stuffiness in her chest a bit.
"......If that's the case, you could've told me sooner."
"Sorry. But I didn't think it'd be easy to believe."
As he spoke, Jin-woo helped Hilde get dressed.
Hilde's cheeks were still slightly flushed, but she visibly brimmed with more vitality than before.
'Sex unblocks mana and lets them use abilities?'
Then what about her?
Her face flushed hot at the sudden thought.
No matter what, doing that—especially with a former subordinate.
It was unthinkable by her standards of chastity.
'But if I can't use my abilities on this island, I'll just be holding them back.'
Shin Seom-hwa watched Hilde stand and grip her spear again before asking.
"Um, so... is there a way for me to regain my abilities too?"
"Not full sex, but massages alone should have an effect."
Her face visibly brightened at those words.
She'd been trying every morning and night to use her abilities, after all.
"Th-then, can I get that massage too?"
Jin-woo scratched his head at her question.
"It's possible, but there are conditions. You okay with that?"
"Conditions?"
"You have to do enemas every day before the massage. And entrust your body to me."
Shin Seom-hwa's face turned beet red up to her ears.
****
'She's hesitating.'
Her first response to my offer was 'no.'
No matter how much she craved her abilities, she couldn't go that far.
She refused quite firmly, probably out of pride.
But I didn't miss the faint glimmer of expectation.
'Shin Seom-hwa can't give up her abilities no matter what.'
Stripped of her genius singer's voice, can she stay rational?
The discomfort she's feeling now is beyond my imagination.
If I just provide a little nudge and motivation here.
Shin Seom-hwa will probably come begging on her own.
All I have to do is wait patiently until then.
"Master, there are footprints here too."
Hilde, leading the way, spoke up.
I squinted at what she pointed to.
"Wolves... no, not ordinary wolves?"
Judging by the size, they were close to sizable monsters.
And not just one or two.
The number and pattern suggested a pack.
Shin Seom-hwa asked with a slightly uneasy expression.
"Are there wolves in this forest too?"
"Haven't seen any yet. But given the forest's size, it wouldn't be strange."
This place teemed with herbivores, making hunting easy.
It'd be weirder if there were no carnivores.
"But we haven't seen any until now. Why show up around here all of a sudden?"
"......Maybe because of us."
I pulled Adol from my inventory and spun it once with telekinesis.
Just in case of an ambush.
"We took the cave and wiped out the goblins."
"Yeah."
"Maybe the wolves noticed."
Over ten goblins were now gone.
It was as if one pack of forest predators had vanished.
"Maybe the increase in rabbits around here is because of the wolves too."
"You mean they fled here from a wolf pack?"
"It's possible, at least."
Half a guess, but probably spot on.
It even explained why Shin Seom-hwa got attacked by the horned rabbit before.
'From the horned rabbit's perspective, they had nowhere left to retreat.'
One thing was clear: the wolves had considerable numbers.
We'd run into them eventually in this forest.
"Anyway, thanks to this, things just got annoying."
I checked the map and sighed deeply.
"To complete the map, we have to cross this part of the forest. That means passing through wolf territory."
Wolves already lived in packs.
And in a forest, it was their home ground.
They had overwhelming advantage in combat.
'Plus, they're probably skilled hunters. As monsters, not ordinary wolves, definitely a threat.'
A single one's combat power outstripped a shaman goblin.
They didn't hole up in lairs, and with keen noses, ambushes would be tough.
"If we fight, we'll need to prepare ourselves."
"Wolves, huh..."
Shin Seom-hwa muttered uncertainly.
Asking the powerless her to fight wolves might as well be a death sentence.
'.......This could actually work in my favor.'
But looking at her, I smiled faintly.
"Team Leader, want to spar with Hilde if you're up for it?"
This was the perfect chance to give her that nudge.
