Chapter 194: Side Story Part 1: What Happened That Day
“Well, I’ll be heading out for a bit.”
“Okay~! Come back early today~.”
Ko Yeonju waved with both hands, seeing Kim Soohyun off. He gave her a wry smile before his expression changed to one of sudden realization.
“Ah. The tea was wonderful. But I seem to have forgotten the teacup and left it in my room.”
“Oh, honestly. Don’t worry about little things like that.”
“I always enjoy it.”
After the polite exchange, Kim Soohyun turned and walked out of the inn’s entrance. Ko Yeonju watched his retreating back for a moment before she began to move about busily.
Lately, she had been in a perpetually good mood. Even when she woke up in the morning, she felt as if endorphins were coursing through her entire body for no reason at all. Entering the kitchen, she let out a happy shriek at the sight of the mountain of dishes piled up.
“Hee-hee~. I wonder where he’s going at the crack of dawn~.”
Ko Yeonju hummed to herself as she scrubbed the dishes. The others were surely still deep in the throes of sleep. She planned to get most of the preparations done before they woke up. After quickly finishing the dishes, she headed for the stairs. Her personality was surprisingly meticulous; once she started something, she always saw it through to the very end, leaving no loose ends. The moment she was about to finish the dishes, she had remembered what Kim Soohyun had said.
He really has a cute side to him. I wonder what he’s really like.
Ko Yeonju giggled to herself as she climbed the stairs. She went up past the first and second floors and had just cracked open the door leading into the third-floor hallway. It was the crack of dawn. Through the slightly open door, she spotted a small figure staggering down the corridor.
That girl is… Ah. Isn’t that the little kid? Was her name Ahn Sol?
The corners of Ko Yeonju’s lips curled up slightly as she identified the figure. The only priest User in Kim Soohyun’s party. In that instant, a sadistic impulse welled up in her mind. The memory of the girl crying her eyes out at the inn flashed through her head. Every time she saw her, Ko Yeonju felt an inexplicable urge to torment her growing from deep within.
Ko Yeonju gave a cryptic smile and silently moved her body. Her class was the Secret Class, Shadow Queen. As long as she put her mind to it, unless one was an exceptional User, sensing her presence was next to impossible.
Ahn Sol’s face had a dazed look as she walked down the hall. It was as if she were advertising, “I’m drunk on sleep right now.” Ko Yeonju stood in a corner, her presence completely concealed, and simply watched Ahn Sol. When the girl eventually turned, Ko Yeonju followed, tiptoeing behind her.
As it happened, Ahn Sol stopped in front of the suite. And that suite was the very room Ko Yeonju had been planning to enter. In other words, their destination was the same: Kim Soohyun’s office. Ko Yeonju hesitated for a moment. Her original plan was to sneak up behind her and shout “Boo!” or to release her presence concealment and watch the girl’s shocked face as she noticed her. But for her to be seeking out Kim Soohyun’s room at this hour… something didn’t feel right. Because of that, Ko Yeonju decided to maintain her concealed state a little longer.
It was in that moment. It was only for a split second, but a sharp glint flashed through Ahn Sol’s dazed eyes. Soon after, Ahn Sol carefully opened the door, poked her head in, and scanned the interior. After confirming that no one was inside, she swung the door wide open and stepped in. Her body disappeared into the suite. A moment later, as the door closed, the sound of a lock clicking shut was heard.
…Oho. She locked the door?
Ko Yeonju stared at the firmly shut door with a blank expression. At first, she had thought it was just a simple matter, but things seemed to be taking a strange turn. She furrowed her brow for a short moment before quietly walking to the door of the suite. Then, she activated one of her Latent Abilities, Black Shade.
Swoosh. Her body sank into the ground. Ko Yeonju’s form then traveled through the shadows into the room, positioning itself in a corner. She now had two Latent Abilities active. She was confident. She had been caught by Kim Soohyun once before, but that was an exception. A User with incredibly sharp senses might be able to detect her, but she was certain that a pipsqueak who was just a Year 0 User would never be able to notice her.
Once she was fully inside the room, Ko Yeonju witnessed an unexpected sight. Ahn Sol was already climbing gracefully onto the bed Kim Soohyun used. And in her hands, held carefully, was the teacup that she had likely served him that morning.
Lying down on the bed, Ahn Sol buried her face in the sheets and began to rub it back and forth vigorously.
Oh, my, my? What is she… what is she doing right now? Tee-hee.
Ko Yeonju almost burst out laughing. At the same time, she felt foolish for having been so serious just a moment ago. But it was fine. A smile spread across her face at the thought of having new material to tease her with for a long, long time. She was about to release her Black Shade ability. She was still concealing her presence but was planning to drop that as well.
However, before she could fully reveal herself, Ahn Sol’s next action followed.
“Smooch, lick, mmmph, sluuuurp.”
“……”
Ahn Sol was meticulously licking the teacup, right where Kim Soohyun’s lips must have touched. The sight unfolded quite explicitly before Ko Yeonju’s eyes. She stuck out her tongue, lapping at the entire surface, then paused at one spot, enclosing it with her lips and sucking hard. After covering the entire teacup in her saliva, Ahn Sol put it down with a look of disappointment. But that wasn't the end of it.
“Sniff, sniff. Hnngh. Hnngh. Haaah. Haaah.”
After her teacup play(?), Ahn Sol moved on to bed play. Like a puppy, she rubbed her face into every corner of the bed, burying her nose to inhale the scent and occasionally hugging a pillow tightly.
……
Ko Yeonju was at a loss for words, an expression of utter confusion on her face. But she was the Shadow Queen, a Year 5 User. Though she had lost her composure for a moment, she quickly regained it.
R-Right. One must respect others’ preferences. I didn’t think she was like this, so it’s a bit of a surprise. This is why you can’t judge a person by their cover.
Ko Yeonju decided to respect Ahn Sol’s tastes. Come to think of it, there were plenty of perverted men back in the modern world. There was even a man who had asked for the stockings she was wearing. Compared to men like that, Ahn Sol’s actions seemed rather cute. In the end, Ko Yeonju decided to be generous(?) one more time.
Just as she was collecting her thoughts, Ahn Sol’s activities moved on to the next stage. And the act she performed next dealt a heavy blow to Ko Yeonju’s recovering psyche.
Ahn Sol’s eyes were shut tight. She placed one hand on her chest and slipped the other into her pants. As the hand moved down past her pelvis, the area at her crotch bulged. Soon, the raised part began to bob up and down. The hand on her chest wasn't idle either. As her palm began to caress her breast, a soft moan escaped her small, pretty lips.
“Hnng, ng, euung, ngh, ahht…”
At first, Ahn Sol’s hand movements were very timid. But at a certain point, her actions changed 180 degrees. Ahn Sol’s eyes flew open as she let out a ragged breath. As if the teasing was too much, she tore open her top with an expression of impatience. She then urgently twisted her hips to free one leg, then kicked out with the remaining one two or three times. Her pants, which had been slipping off with each kick, soon ended up in a heap on one side of the bed.
Ahn Sol’s state was laid bare for Ko Yeonju to see. She could see the pert, white mounds of her breasts and the pure white underwear covering her precious place. Her face was frozen solid. Holding her breath, Ko Yeonju was so captivated that she forgot she had even released her Black Shade ability.
Now nude, Ahn Sol resumed the act she had paused. Lying back down on the bed, she returned her hands to their original positions. One hand slid down her soft skin, getting into position once more. She then used her fingers to push her underwear to the side, gently stroking the now fully exposed cleft.
“Aahng, O-Orabeoni. Y-You can’t do this. Hah, haht.”
“Ah, noo. Actually, you can do this. Yes, yes. Please, do it as much as you want.”
“Ngh! I-I’m sorry. Sol is a bad girl. Since I’m a bad girl, I need to be punished by Orabeoni, euung.”
What?
Ko Yeonju almost shrieked in shock but managed to clamp her mouth shut, barely stopping the sound from escaping. Watching the girl pleasure herself, a million thoughts tangled in her mind. All the while, Ahn Sol desperately cried out for Kim Soohyun, spurring herself on even more.
It was utterly absurd, but Ko Yeonju managed to maintain her composure and observe Ahn Sol. Unlike her usual pure and innocent self, she was now exuding an incredibly provocative aura.
Squelch, squish, squelch, squish.
A considerable amount of time had passed since Ahn Sol began. The atmosphere in the room was intensely heated, and lewd sounds echoed continuously. Despite the chilly dawn air, a hot wind seemed to swirl around her. Beads of sweat formed all over her body, and the moans she had initially tried to suppress grew uncontrollably louder.
At the peak of the white mounds she was ceaselessly kneading were light pink, protruding points, being pressed and toyed with. The other was erect, swaying slightly whenever she moved her body.
Looking down, her immaculate private parts were visible. Her slender middle finger was gently probing inside, and with each entry, a lewd sound was accompanied by a stream of transparent fluid. The amount of liquid was substantial, enough to trickle down her inner thighs and soak the sheets.
“Ang, ang, ang, ang, ang, aaang!”
Ahn Sol’s breathing grew more and more frantic until it became so rapid she could barely breathe. Her gasps sounded as if she were about to expire, and the rhythm of her moans shortened. Then, at a certain moment, Ahn Sol’s hand stopped, and her lips parted wide.
“Uwaaaaaaah!”
A wailing scream shook the room. At the same time, her pale buttocks lifted slightly, and her legs clamped shut violently. From the center point between her legs, several streams of clear liquid shot into the air like a fountain before quickly subsiding. She had reached her climax.
“Haaa… Haaa…”
Ahn Sol stared blankly at the ceiling. A moment later, with a soft thud, her body fell back onto the bed. A line of clear saliva trickled from her slightly parted lips, and her half-lidded eyes were filled with a dazed light.
“……”
Ko Yeonju let out a quiet sigh. A myriad of thoughts crossed her mind, but the idea of teasing her was long gone. Even now, she was trying her hardest to comprehend the situation she had just witnessed. She had heard of a male User who supposedly masturbated every night while imagining her, ever since coming to the Hall Plain.
I guess there’s no rule that says a woman can’t do the same, fantasizing about a man she likes. It was a bit more intense than I expected, but… anyway, you should be glad it was me who caught you.
If anyone else had found out, she would surely die of embarrassment. There were still things she didn't quite understand, but it seemed best to let them go for now. Ko Yeonju decided to get out of there quickly. It would be better to just pretend she hadn't seen anything and go about preparing breakfast as if nothing had happened.
It was then.
“Kya!”
Just as she was about to activate Black Shade, a cute scream struck Ko Yeonju’s ears, followed by the sound of something rustling. Startled by the scream, she looked up and saw a pair of eyes on the bed staring directly at her location.
On the bed was Ahn Sol, who had somehow already covered herself with a sheet. Her face was filled with anxiety, but her eyes were piercingly fixed on the corner of the room. In that instant, Ko Yeonju instinctively knew their eyes had met.
Ko Yeonju let out an awkward laugh.
