55. Male whore Jang Ryu-o?
55. Male whore Jang Ryu-o?
Ryu-o hastily pulls on his pants.
-udangtang!
"I'll see you again soon, Master! Then, I'm off!"
Silvia reached out to Ryu-o who was trying to leave in a hurry.
"Wa-wait a minute, Ryu-o-nim! You have to at least hear me out..."
"It's fine!"
"Ah..."
Silvia thought.
It's completely over...
Rejected from dinner, rejected her goodwill.
She had grown impatient because he always looked at her and smiled.
She thought she was different from other women.
They said men smile because they're kind or don't want to be hated, just smiling along.
Silvia had dashed at him once, thinking he liked her because he smiled at her.
Being rejected so bluntly like this, her face burned hot with an indescribable embarrassment flooding in.
"Ha... What the hell was I..."
Silvia muttered, sinking into self-loathing.
Meidel, who had been flattened face-down beside her, slightly lifted her head and looked at her master.
"Um, Master..."
Already dying from the complicated mess, Silvia found the nuisance Meidel looking especially hateful today.
A curt remark burst from Silvia's mouth.
"Meidel! You, what the hell were you doing behind the door..."
"Could it be... you like Ryu-o-nim?"
"Wha? Uh? Y-yeah?"
Seeing Silvia instantly fall into panic, Meidel sighed.
"Ha... Master, what are you gonna do-o?"
At Meidel's tone, now fully convinced, Silvia pouted her lips.
"What did I..."
"You gotta go for it!"
Silvia was hugely shocked by Meidel's words.
What the hell did she have going for her?
She'd never been outdone by anyone in looks her whole life.
On top of that, as guild master, her salary was sky-high!
That was written all over Silvia's face.
Seeing that sulky expression, Meidel shook her head and said.
"There's an age gap, you know."
At Meidel's attack, Silvia's eyes blazed with fury.
"I'm a half-elf! In human years! Hey! I'm fresh and..."
As Silvia's eyes burned fiercely, Meidel threw a handful of dirt on the flames.
"Her opponent is Arin-nim's disciple, the only one in Labyrinth City with ties to the Heavenly Demon, caught the Gongnyeo-nim's eye with a noble path opening up, 90% locked in as a Raid Member."
"Yeah..."
"Master might have to step down in a few years? Then you're totally a commoner, just a rich half-elf."
"You, youuu..."
"And now with skills, status, all top-tier, even richer women will swarm him..."
"Ah... uuu..."
"And do you know how old Ryu-o-nim is? Just 22 now. Later, having kids and childcare... you think the Gongnyeo-nim will sit still?"
"Ki-kids, I... if I see..."
Meidel grinned and said.
"You've even planned up to making babies, huh, Master?"
...Honestly, yeah.
But Silvia felt wronged.
A guy that hot got a hard-on looking at her—who wouldn't fantasize about great-grandkids and living happily ever after?
Silvia had giggled every night imagining a daughter like Ryu-o, popping out a son like him too.
She wondered if there were surveillance magic tools in her house or something.
The next move of someone smacked with facts was predictable.
"Get out!!! Go write 10 pages of reception manual and an incident report!"
"Ma-Master!"
"Out!"
"That's unfair!"
Silvia kicked Meidel out with a thud, then slammed the door while huffing.
In the empty room after everyone had left.
Silvia, thoroughly beaten down, shuffled to the sofa.
-thud!
"...What the hell's wrong with me."
Fantasizing is allowed, right?
Suddenly, she recalled Ryu-o's face as he kicked her with a loud smack!
"Uwaaaah! So embarrassing!"
Silvia thrashed around, tensing her whole body.
Once the strength drained, sage time hit her hard.
Yeah, it's all over anyway—what's the point.
Gotta get back to work.
Silvia placed Ryu-o's clothes, which she'd carefully stored in her Subspace, on the desk.
"If I send it to the duke's estate..."
Suddenly, a sleazy desire flashed through her mind.
'Ryu-o-nim definitely... that sticky scent...'
Fresh from the dungeon, the smell that clogged her nose and made her thighs clench tight.
Silvia had suffered every night as that scent haunted her.
But she wasn't a goblin or anything—letting lust win and using Ryu-o-nim as a side dish?
Silvia had just groaned and ignored her desires.
But one emotion shattered Silvia's patience...
Regret, and a tiny bit of resentment.
Honestly, he got... hard! Huh!? Rubbed that monstrous thing on her, face all red too.
He even pressed her belly once. With that arm-thick monster.
What woman wouldn't misunderstand that...
'This much should be fine...'
Silvia hesitated, then picked up Ryu-o's clothes.
Even though no one was there, she glanced around.
Soon, she buried her nose in the chest area of the clothes and sniffed.
"Sniff sniff! Haa... fuck..."
Ryu-o's scent hidden behind her own smell.
Warm, thick male musk.
Not overpowering, but what mattered was Silvia's memory.
Ryu-o drenched in sweat, lifting her up.
Firm muscles, sharp-angled, too broad a chest to even hug.
Between those ripped thighs, that vein-bulging monster.
The memory of rubbing that rugged thing against her.
Sure, it was a mishap from Silvia's mistake, but with her nose in the clothes, she had no time for that.
-squeeze...♥
"Wh-what the hell am I doing. Haa... wet- fuck..."
The depraved thrill of doing this at work. Weeks of pent-up lust piling up.
Everything tangled with that memory, making Silvia's womb throb down deep.
"I shouldn't... but..."
Silvia stripped off the clothes getting in the way of her next act.
The white ones that would show stains badly...
One hand clutched the clothes tight, the other naturally slid down below.
Stressed-out office worker Silvia.
-squelch squelch squelch...♥
For an hour, she whispered Ryu-o's name against the clothes.
I couldn't see anything. I won't fall for it. I can endure...
Repeating that in my head, my brain suddenly froze.
What am I thinking, when I've already cheated...
I shook my head to shake off the flooding negative thoughts.
"...Gotta take care of business and head back."
Today's main goal was the essence shop in the west and stopping by the Magic Tower.
The Tower Master told me to drop by once, but too much time has passed.
'She won't be mad, right?'
I'd think about that when I got there.
As I walked west, people started glancing at me.
-Wow...
-Fuck... he's screwed...
-Should I say something?
-Huh? That's the guy!
The murmurs were clear—sharper than before from training Ki Sense.
'What?'
Hand on my chin, water dripped from my sleeve ends.
Right, I just got doused with cold water.
The fabric didn't go see-through, but it clung to my body.
'Ha... am I an idiot?'
Head and body burning, I bolted out like a coward—now regretting it a bit.
Plus, the central area was where I'd walked with Master once.
Go back to the Guild, change clothes, and come out?
Nah, no confidence to go back in.
I ducked into a back alley, then leaped onto the rooftops.
Whatever, it'll dry on the way. A guy's not fazed by this much.
The western part of Labyrinth City.
Magic Crystal lamps lining the wide gravel roads, fresh-baked bread smells, students in Academy uniforms wandering around with staves and swords.
Merchants baking bread on Magic Crystal braziers, roadside stalls selling toys and accessories embedded with Magic Crystals.
Citizens who seemed super comfortable with Magic Crystals.
With the Magic Tower and Labyrinth City here, convenience rivaled the imperial capital.
Labyrinth City supplies the magic stones, Magic Tower does the R&D.
Folks living in the Magic Crystal hub always had smiles.
But even in that west side, one old man couldn't smile, his face scowled tight...
-bang bang bang!
"Adela Orleans! Get out here right now! How many days has it been since you stopped going to the Academy!"
This was the third most famous spot in the west: Blue Magic Tower.
For reference, first is the Academy. Second is the Gongnyeo's villa. Anyway...
Tower Master Linnen Orleans pounded fiercely on her granddaughter's firmly shut lab door.
"If you don't come out, you'll drown in there!"
The Tower Master had bolted from the dorms, head pounding over her granddaughter who had secluded herself.
No idea what happened, but for a month now, she'd been a total wreck.
Suddenly those dead eyes like she'd given up on everything, holed up in her room like that.
Used to be arrogant and feisty, now not a peep from her room—ugh...
Even the Academy said they knew nothing, leaving the Tower Master frustrated to death.
Finally snapping, the Tower Master pulled out her staff embedded with a blue gem.
"Come out by the count of three! One! Two!"
-bang!
The door opened after a month, revealing the girl who'd become a total shut-in.
Her blue hair was a messy disaster, her once-bright eyes hollow and dead.
"A-Adela! What the hell is this!"
Adela gritted her teeth and yelled at her grandma.
"Go away! Just leave me alone already! Let me be!!!"
Seeing her sole heir like this, the Tower Master's blood boiled too.
"This little shit—I fed you, housed you, taught you, raised you! Fuck! That's plenty! And what? Leave? Ungrateful bitch!"
"Shut up! I'll handle it myself, so just go!"
"Tell me why! Or I'll shove you back in the dorms!"
Her one and only granddaughter, face beet red, shoved the Tower Master away.
"No way! I'd rather die than go! Just kill me!"
Daring to say "kill me" to her grandma's face.
Tower Master, out of her mind, bound Adela with a ring of water and hoisted her into the air.
-whirr! Splash!
"Aaah! Let go!"
"Shut it! Won't tell me why? Then it's the Academy for you—got it!"
With her granddaughter trussed up tight, they descended to the first floor, drawing all the mages' eyes.
-Dear lord... what's with the young miss.
-Dunno, puberty maybe.
-Puberty? If I'd hit puberty at that age, my master would've blasted my head with Water Blade.
What a clusterfuck.
But Adela didn't care.
"Let go! Untie me!"
"Shut the fuck up before I seal your mouth too!!!"
-How'd she become Blue Tower Master? Personality's pure Red Tower Master vibes? Puhaha! Kek! Cough cough!
-She's usually so smooth~
"Everyone back to work!"
-Yessir~
Tower Master, veins bulging on her forehead, headed outside...
-whoosh!
"Hm? Young man?"
She bumped into Ryu-o flying in from somewhere at the entrance.
Ryu-o, seeing inside the robe for the first time, widened his eyes.
"This voice... Tower Master grandma?"
Adela glanced between them and screamed.
"Calling another playboy!!!??"
""...? Huh?""
