Chapter Title: Getting Close to the Gloomy Beauty (1)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
As always, whenever there were no dispatch missions as a Magical Girl, Seraphiel devoted herself to her hobbies to uphold the dignity of an otaku.
"Heh heh... Hee hee...♥"
In the late afternoon after her dispatches were done, she would always wear this sinister smile while reading manga packed with cute and sexy heroines.
The manga she was reading right now was even adult commercial doujinshi.
Not only were the sex scenes between characters depicted explicitly, but there were plenty of scenes catering to rather specific fetishes.
'I know it's risky to read this stuff in the office..., but that thrill is just too good... I can't stop...♥'
Normally, she wouldn't read such blatantly lewd manga out in the open like this.
But for the past few days, her body had been feeling strangely hot at times, or suddenly aching unbearably.
She was caught in some odd sensation, her lust exploding uncontrollably.
'I shouldn't be like this... My body... Hnngh...♥'
Her lower abdomen and groin kept throbbing, so she squeezed her thighs together and rubbed them or let her hand drift there unconsciously.
"Seraphiel-nim? Is something wrong?"
"N-No... Yes!? Ah... N-Nothing... at all..."
If the Manager called out to her like that, she would jolt in surprise, and the uncontrollable arousal would be forcibly quelled by her startled mind.
'This is really weird... I've always liked lewd stuff, but I've never read it so openly in the office before...'
Seraphiel knew full well that something was off with her body.
'It feels like things got strange starting from the day I met Koneko-san...'
And she knew it had started after meeting Koneko.
She definitely remembered bumping into her in front of the parcel locker and getting friendly over coffee afterward, but everything after that was the problem.
What she did after work, what she ate for dinner, what manga she read or anime she watched before bed.
Her memories from that late afternoon when she met Koneko were completely wiped clean.
As if... someone had forcibly erased them.
'Maybe it's because I've been going out on dispatches so much lately and I'm just tired...?'
The only thing she could guess was her condition.
Due to recent staffing issues at the Management Bureau, the Magical Girl system wasn't running smoothly, so requests were piling up for those with consistent, strong performances.
Seraphiel was one such Magical Girl, and days with more than her usual two dispatches had started cropping up in the last few days.
"Haaah..."
For now, to cool her burning insides, she tried downing a glass of cold water.
The ice-cold water slid down her throat, but soon enough, her body heated up again.
"Seraphiel-nim... Are you really okay?"
She usually made these gloomy, weird noises as part of her daily routine, but today her face was flushed, and she seemed to be sweating a lot.
Managing Magical Girls' conditions was a key part of his job, so the Manager couldn't help but worry deeply.
"If you're tired, you can head out early. You've been going out a lot lately, so taking some vacation..."
"I-It's... fine... Don't worry too much..."
At the Manager's suggestion to take leave and rest, she shook her head vigorously despite clearly not looking fine.
Then she sat back on the sofa, chugging more cold water to somehow calm her overheated body.
'Yeah... Maybe watching cute animal videos will help settle me down...'
Seraphiel opened the Nertube app and tuned into one of her subscribed cat channels.
She planned to purge her lewd and filthy thoughts with something cute and pure.
'Whoa... A cat that doesn't hate water.'
The cat in the video she was watching was that rare water-loving breed.
Normal cats threw massive tantrums at bath time, but the one on her smartphone screen was incredibly docile.
It just meowed softly, as if saying it wanted out.
'As expected... Cat videos calm the mind.... Not much longer till quitting time... I'll just relax and watch...'
Just as she was reaping the full benefits of cat therapy.
- Ding-dong—
'What is it... Did a new figure come into the figure shop...?'
Her SNS messenger was mostly shopping mall discounts and ads.
Thinking it might be a notification about new figures in stock, she paused the cat video and tapped the messenger icon.
'Master... nim...? Was there someone saved as a friend like that...?'
A message from someone saved as "Master-nim."
Even tapping the profile picture only showed the name—no clues to who it might be.
The message itself wasn't much of a conversation, more like a one-way info drop.
An address not far from the Management Bureau headquarters, with just the curt words "Come here."
'Master... nim... Master-nim...♥'
Repeating "Master-nim" in her head over and over, her puzzled expression suddenly twisted into a lewd smile.
'I have to go to that address... and serve Master-nim...♥'
The person saved as "Master-nim" who sent the message was none other than Jae-hyun.
It had vanished cleanly from her memories, but a few days ago, Jae-hyun had received service from Seraphiel, whom Koneko had brought along.
At the same time, he'd implanted the suggestion to come to the office whenever called, but this time he summoned her to a specific location instead.
The moment she saw the message, the lewd suggestion planted in Seraphiel activated, which was why her expression had suddenly turned so lascivious.
'Hurry... I have to go...♥ Master-nim is waiting...♥'
Her body and mind, which had seemed a bit settled, flared up again.
She wanted to rush to Master-nim, serve him devotedly, and as a reward, fill her mouth with that sticky, sweet white fluid and swallow it all down.
"Um... Manager-nim...♥"
"Yes! What is it? Have you... decided to take vacation?"
"Ah... No, not that..., but... could I... leave a little early...? I-Is that... okay...♥"
"O-Of course! Great decision."
The Manager nodded with a slightly awkward smile, looking a bit flustered as he glanced at her face.
"Then... I'll... head out first...♥"
With the Manager's permission, Seraphiel hurriedly packed her things and slipped out of the office, exuding a sultry aura.
'What was that... Why the face...? Did she get too worked up from the lewd manga and couldn't hold back...?'
That was why he'd flinched earlier when he saw her face.
The girl who always wore the most sinister expressions was now somehow sporting a blatantly sexy, seductive look.
It wasn't just flushed cheeks and sweat; licking her lips and casting those alluring glances felt off.
'No idea... Just hope she doesn't suddenly say she needs to take a break...'
A fleeting worry crossed his mind, but it quickly faded, thanks to Seraphiel's usual image.
Meanwhile... Seraphiel, who had rushed out of the office.
'Hurry... Hurry up...♥ I have to serve Master-nim...♥'
She looked up the location from Jae-hyun's message on her map app and was moving more frantically than ever.
"H-Here...♥"
Before long, Seraphiel arrived at the spot indicated by the map app icon.
It was none other than Jae-hyun's regular hotel.
'Feels familiar from doujinshi..., but it's my first time actually going in, so I'm not sure...♥'
To Seraphiel, hotels were just places for sex from doujinshi—nothing to do with her.
"Um... Are you Seraphiel-nim...?"
Someone approached Seraphiel as she hesitated in front of the hotel entrance.
"Wh-Who... are you...?"
"No need to be startled! I'm one of Master-nim's bitches too. He told me to wait and escort you to the room."
The one who approached calling her name was Athena.
She'd come out on Jae-hyun's orders to greet her.
'She's stunning... And those breasts are enormous...'
The first thing that caught the eye about Athena was that massive, heavy pair.
So transcendent and unrealistic in shape and size, anyone would have to turn and stare.
And looking up, there was her incredibly pure and gentle smile.
"I'm Athena. Looking forward to serving together!"
"Y-Yes...!"
Her bright smile, the total opposite of Seraphiel's own dark gloom, made her feel strangely purified.
"Then let me guide you to where Master-nim is waiting."
Athena smiled brightly, naturally took Seraphiel's hand, stopped by the hotel counter, and rode up the elevator together.
"We'll be bitches serving Master-nim together from now on..., so it'd be great if we could get close...♥"
Even in the ascending elevator, Athena radiated gentle energy.
She held Seraphiel's trembling hand from nerves and gazed at her with sparkling eyes, saying she wanted to be friends.
"O-Of... course... Haha..."
It felt like how a vampire might react to sunlight.
Seraphiel barely endured Athena's positive energy and finally reached the room where Jae-hyun waited.
