Chapter 16: The Association Chairman’s Office
“Ah, Floss. Come on in.”
When I knocked on the door of the Association Chairman’s office, a voice answered from the other side. I opened the door and stepped inside.
“Hello.”
“Right, we were supposed to meet today, weren’t we?”
“I came running as soon as you called. But…”
I sat in the guest chair and looked at the pot-bellied old man in a suit with a neatly trimmed mustache.
This man was the Chairman of the Korea Hero Association. He looked like a friendly grandpa you’d see at a fried chicken shop, but despite his appearance, he was a man of immense power. The fact that he was closely connected to the government was just a bonus.
“Seriously, I told you to lose some weight. You’re going to keel over at this rate.”
“Tsk, tsk. Nagging me the moment we meet? You’re as impudent as ever.”
But he wasn’t a difficult person for me to deal with. It felt more like a relationship between a grandfather and his granddaughter.
After I became a woman, I was lost for a long time. As time passed, those memories faded into something that didn't bother me anymore, but back then, I had a lot of worries about how to live my life.
The Chairman was one of the people who helped turn me into a proper Hero. Of course, one could say his job is to recruit talented Heroes to the side of the citizens, but having received so much help from him, it was only natural that I felt a deep sense of closeness.
“Anyway, looking at you makes me feel like I’ve gained a granddaughter in my old age, which is quite…”
“Ugh, you of all people shouldn't be treating me like a girl, Chairman!”
“Khaha! Right, right. I touched a sensitive spot there.”
Furthermore, the Chairman was one of the very few people who knew that Magical Girl Floss was originally a man.
“So, what did you want to talk about?”
“The sidekick matter, of course.”
“Liar. There’s no way the Chairman would personally seek me out just for an A-Rank Hero’s sidekick issue.”
“How disappointing. I might have just wanted to see my cute granddaughter’s charms as a bonus…”
“Wh-What?!”
Playful banter flew back and forth. However, the question I asked was a valid one.
Any A-Rank Hero eventually takes on a sidekick at least once. Some do it more often depending on their personality—like if they enjoy teaching or hanging out with juniors.
Still, once you reach A-Rank, you’re expected to mentor at least one sidekick at some point. It wasn't a written rule, but sometimes unwritten rules are more powerful. Just as the senior Heroes worked themselves to the bone to raise us for the future of the Hero industry, we had to raise the next generation.
‘In my case, my sidekick is older than me, though...’
Anyway, the fact that all A-Rank Heroes train sidekicks meant it was a fairly common occurrence. As I said, it wasn't something strictly bound by contracts or regulations.
Therefore, it was practically unheard of for a high-ranking official like the Chairman to personally intervene in a single Hero taking on a sidekick.
“Hmm… Fine, let’s cut the small talk. Floss, it’s exactly as you asked.”
The Chairman, who had been stroking his protruding belly, flipped through a thick stack of documents.
“Let’s see, Magical Girl Floss… sidekick application… C-Rank rookie Hero, Dark Swan. Correct?”
“Yes. It’s not so much that I applied, but rather that she begged me to let her join.”
“Heh heh, you do have quite a lot of fans among the A-Rank Heroes.”
The Chairman seriously scanned the contents of the documents with his bead-like eyes. Feeling a bit uneasy, I asked tentatively.
“Is there something wrong with Dark Swan? Is she actually the second-generation heir of some famous conglomerate, or maybe a spy for a Villain organization…?”
“Haha, it’s nothing like that, so rest easy. By the way, wasn't that 'second-generation heir' thing about that Invisible Man Villain you caught a few days ago?”
“That’s exactly why I’m worried.”
As my voice dropped, the Chairman let out a hearty laugh. It seemed he hadn't called me just because I wanted to take Dark Swan as a sidekick.
“Floss, you know the principle is to eradicate Gates as soon as they appear, right?”
“Huh? Well, of course.”
Heroes don't just go around catching Superpower Villains. In fact, most of the actual work involves entering Gates to wipe out Monsters that pose a threat to humanity.
A Gate is like a natural disaster. It appears suddenly, serving as a passage connecting Earth to the world beyond, letting countless Monsters through. However, the actual 'Invasion'—where Monsters cross over in earnest—only happens ten days after the Gate appears.
That’s why Heroes enter the Gate before the Invasion occurs to clear out the Monsters inside. If they kill the leader of the Monsters, commonly known as the 'Boss,' within that ten-day countdown, the Gate passage closes naturally.
It felt similar to the 'Hunter' genre in web novels that used to be popular. The difference was that in those novels, high-quality resources like mana stones would drop, leading to competition and corporatization, but this world had none of that.
There was no profit, only danger. That’s why Heroes like us stepped up.
“But you see, I’ve received a proposal to try 'managing' a Gate.”
“Managing… a Gate?”
“Yes. As you know, the Gate closes once the Boss Monster is killed. But what if we don't kill it, but instead keep it alive while keeping it restrained?”
“…Then it wouldn't close, I guess. But is there a reason to do that? Are you planning to build real estate inside the Gate?”
The Chairman laughed and shook his head.
“That’s a good idea too, but this is because of an idea from the Hero Academy.”
“The Hero Academy…?”
“Yes. The students at the Academy who want to become Heroes like you. It seems they want to develop the Gate into a training ground so those kids can get some field experience.”
“A Gate… as a training ground…”
At first, I thought it was nonsense, but hearing it out, the reason was quite practical. As someone who also believed that field experience made a huge difference, I could sympathize with the intent.
“If it’s going to be a training ground for kids, it’ll have to be a low-risk Gate.”
“Exactly. We plan to target only C-Rank Gates. Normally, those are places that could be easily handled by sending a few C-Rank Heroes like Dark Swan, without you even needing to step in.”
“So what exactly am I supposed to do?”
“We’ll neutralize the Boss Monster to keep the Gate passage open, and we’ll station personnel in front of the Gate in case any Monsters come out. We’re going to call this ‘Gate Management Project.’”
“Then I’ll be the one in charge of neutralizing the Boss Monster.”
The Chairman nodded, pleased with how quickly I understood.
The first target of this project, and the place I would be assigned to, was a newly appeared C-Rank Gate called 'Slime Forest.' Slimes were well-known as the lowest-tier Monsters, so there shouldn't be any significant variables.
‘Well, that sounds fine.’
It wasn't a bad plan. A C-Rank Gate wouldn't be difficult, and it would be over quickly. Though it was a bit sad that I wouldn't be able to enjoy my little hobby of getting excited while being defeated by Villains for a while.
“I get it, but why did this come up so suddenly?”
“Haha, didn't you say you were taking on a sidekick? Why not take on this mission with Dark Swan?”
“Ah…”
“You can develop the Academy training Gate and train your sidekick at the same time. What do you think? It sounds like a good proposal, doesn't it?”
“I suppose so. Well, if we camp inside for a few days, I’ll be able to avoid the eyes of the Shinhwa Group for a while.”
I carefully read through the documents the Chairman handed me once more and stood up. As if to see me out, he also heaved his heavy body up and followed behind me, then suddenly started massaging my shoulders.
“Then do your best. It would be good to get closer to Dark Swan during this opportunity.”
“Ugh, ah… I get it, so stop rubbing my shoulders. It hurts.”
“Kuhuhu! What are you talking about? You’re a Magical Girl who could suppress an old man like me with a single finger!”
I flinched and pulled away. The Chairman was always prone to this kind of sudden physical contact, but what surprised me was my body’s reaction.
‘What the… why does getting my shoulders rubbed by those big, wrinkled, rough hands feel good…?’
I’d felt it while masturbating, but ever since my first experience, it felt like my body’s sensitivity had skyrocketed. My nipples, which were starting to poke out, were proof of that. It was a relief I was wearing a bra so it didn't show on the outside.
“Th-Then, I’ll be going now…”
“Right, get home safely. Dark Swan should be here too, so meet her and tell her what I said.”
“Tell her what? I’m going home. I can just message her about work… Ah-hng?!”
At that moment, a spark ignited on my butt. The Chairman had slapped my rear as I was turning around. Since I had awakened to the pleasure of being spanked after my sex with the Invisible Man, a lewd sound escaped my lips immediately.
‘Oh, no… I let out a moan because my butt got hit…’
Fortunately, however, the Chairman laughed heartily as if he hadn't thought anything of it.
“Kids these days need to be disciplined, haha! What’s this about messaging? You should meet in person, eat together, eh? Have a drink and build a rapport so the work goes well. Don't you agree?”
“Ugh, ah… I get it! I get it, but why are you suddenly hitting a perfectly normal girl’s butt?!”
“A girl? Uhahahat! Didn't you just get angry and tell me not to treat you like a girl?”
The Chairman, seemingly unaware of the gravity of the situation, playfully slapped my butt again. And he did it alternating between the left and right cheeks.
Slap—♡ Slap—♡
It felt as if my body had become an instrument being played by a musician. The Chairman’s hands were a pair of drumsticks, and my buttocks were drums that let out sounds that fueled sadistic desires every time they were struck.
“Well, and what if you are a girl? A grandpa’s just showing some affection to the granddaughter he hasn't seen in a while, eh?”
“St-Stop, sto-o-op… Hah-ut♡”
“Naughty, naughty! Bad girl!”
It couldn't inflict any physical damage on a Magical Girl’s body, but the impact was more than enough to deal maximum damage to my sense of shame. To be a twenty-year-old woman, dressed in a Magical Girl costume, getting her butt spanked at her workplace and feeling pleasure from it.
‘And by someone like a grandfather…♡’
In the midst of it, my butt instinctively tilted up into a better position to be hit. An S-Rank lewd masochist body that stuck its rear out like a whore, leaning forward to beg for more spanking.
My female instincts were perceiving even this pot-bellied old man as a male.
Slap—
"Ah, ah-hng♡"
I could feel juices leaking from my crotch every time my butt was struck.
This is dangerous. This is really dangerous. Not only was I being spanked, but as my body, held by the Chairman’s arm, shook, the pain I felt every time my tits bounced and threatened to spill out of my low-cut outfit also turned into pleasure.
If I didn't move soon, my panties would be soaked, and my pussy juice would run down from my thighs to my calves… and I’d be caught as a perverted granddaughter who peed herself from getting her butt hit by her grandpa.
Slap—♡ Slap—♡
“Hng, hng-ng-ng…”
The Chairman’s "naughty-naughty" spanking, which had started so suddenly, ended just as abruptly. Having been disciplined at the optimal angle for maximum sensation, I opened my bleary eyes and let out a feverish breath.
“Whew, that’s a butt that’s fun to hit. I think my hand hurts more, wahaha!”
“You… you perverted old man… I won't forgive you…”
“Ah, for your information, Dark Swan should be in the lobby, so you can go down and meet her. Make sure to tell her everything without leaving anything out.”
I nodded instead of answering. Walking awkwardly with my thighs pressed tightly together, I left the room. As soon as the door closed, I slumped down on the spot and squeezed my eyes shut.
I knew. I knew that what just happened was really nothing. To old men of that age, this was just extremely common workplace sexual harassment that they didn't even realize was wrong.
In other words, to him, it was just a prank, a sign of closeness. He didn't hit my butt specifically to make me horny, nor was he trying to feel good by touching my butt.
In the first place, it was my fault for lifting my butt to feel more pleasure. It was also my fault for getting turned on by the prank of a grandfather who truly thought of me as his granddaughter. Strictly speaking, it was sexual harassment, but I was in no position to complain after offering myself up like a slut to a molester.
…But getting turned on by my own lewd self probably wasn't that big of a sin.
Squirrrrt!
I had a weak orgasm right in front of the Chairman’s office door. Covering my face with my hands, I let out a small jet while crouching.
Everything happened inside my Magical Girl skirt. The floor where the Chairman’s office was located wasn't a place people visited often, so there was no one passing through the hallway.
“Hah-ut…♡”
I saw the fluid I had sprayed clearly remaining on the floor in front of the office door. I wanted to bring a mop or some tissues to wipe it up, but I didn't have the luxury.
What if the Chairman suddenly opened the door and came out, or if I got caught by someone passing by the hallway?
“…I-I don't know.”
In the end, I scurried away.
Magical Girl Floss doesn't know anything.
I’m going to meet my sidekick, Dark Swan, who’s in the lobby.
“Haa…”
I could only pray that my pussy juice would dry up completely before the Chairman opened the door.
