Chapter 174 - Meimung's Cuteness
Morning.
"Yaaawn... What a great morning today!"
Meimung woke up with an adorable yawn. Her mornings were always quick. Rising at the crack of dawn, she washed up, did a light primp, then headed to the inn's backyard to start one of her daily routines.
"Hyaap! Yahap! Eit! Mung~ Mung!"
Whoosh! Swish! Slash!
Unlike her cute battle cries, Meimung threw sharp, agile punches and kicks in her self-training. As everyone's idol and a C-rank adventurer, she never skipped her workouts.
"Phew! That's enough for today!"
After thirty minutes of simple training, Meimung was drenched in sweat from the intense movements, even in such a short time.
"Heh heh heh. Working hard again today, eh, Meimung?"
"Oh, Innkeeper! Annyeong annyeong~☆ Good morning!"
Just as Meimung finished her exercise, the innkeeper always started cleaning the backyard.
"Yeah, good morning. Here, have some water."
"Ah, thank you!"
The innkeeper timed his cleaning to coincide with the end of her workout, handing her a water jug every time.
"Gulp gulp gulp."
Meimung drank thirstily from the jug he offered.
"Heh heh..."
As she drank, the innkeeper—as always—got hard staring at her sweat-beaded body.
'What a fine figure today, too.'
Bringing her the water was partly an excuse to ogle her body. Of course, Meimung had noticed his gaze from the start. Normally, she'd hate lecherous stares, but she was different.
'Today too, the innkeeper's totally hooked on cute~ Meimung's adorable look☆'
The body she maintained was the fruit of her efforts. Having others captivated by it made her happy.
"Pwah...! That hit the spot!"
"Good, now go wash up."
"Yes~☆"
As Meimung turned to head inside, the innkeeper called out.
"Oh, wait, Meimung."
"Yes? What is it?"
He grinned and said,
"Your show last night was amazing."
The innkeeper had been in the audience yesterday. Thrilled by her fan's praise, Meimung gave some fan service.
"Waaah! Thank you! Meimung's so happy☆ Mung~ Mung☆"
She made bunny-ear hands and hopped around. Her jiggling ample breasts and flying sweat droplets stirred wholesome arousal.
'Ooooh~ That's it! Ahh, Meimung's gotten even hotter lately—it's great.'
The innkeeper's erection surged harder. A married man, but everyone's idol Meimung's sexy display gave him fresh vitality for the day.
Back in her room, she showered off the sweat and started cooking.
"Mung~ Mung~ Tasty breakfast today too~☆"
Skilled in housework, Meimung prepared meals suited to her body.
"Thanks for the food!"
Eating her own cooking—years of solo meals had made her skills rival a pro housewife's.
"Mmm~ Delicious as always☆"
After eating and cleaning up, it was still too early to head out. Meimung sat on her bed, opened a book, and began reading.
"Hum~"
Her room was stacked with books—all bought with her own money. Topics varied: magic, martial arts, singing and dancing, adventurer life hacks, and hobby light novels.
Meimung read far more than the average adventurer. To become a cuter self who could help everyone, she honed her knowledge, growing and confirming her ever-increasing adorableness—that fulfillment drove her.
"Ah, time to go already!"
As departure time neared, she closed her book and got fully dolled up: cute hairpin in her ears, her custom outfit that maximized her charm, and finally her gauntlets.
Checking herself in the full-length mirror, she practiced a cute beaming smile.
"Meimung's cute today too~☆"
Reconfirmed, she headed to the guild as usual.
"Mung~ Mung☆ Annyeong annyeong everyone~☆"
Entering the Adventurer's Guild, she waved and greeted everyone.
"Hey, Meimung!"
"Cute as ever today!"
"Welcome!"
"Thanks for the help yesterday!"
"Hee hee! Leave any troubles to Meimung~☆"
Hearing she's cute and thanked filled her with joy, fueling her motivation as always. But lately, there was a slight change.
"Hey, Meimung. Morning."
"Ah, Hypno oppa! Annyeong annyeong☆ Wintee unni too! Clarice unni too! Annyeong☆"
"An... nyeong."
"Yeah."
"Greet properly, you brat."
Smack!
"Ow! That hurts, you know!"
It was running into Hypno's group. Over a week since meeting them, Meimung felt they'd grown fairly close. With Hypno, they watched Yandi's top-tier bitch lessons in the consultation room every morning lately. She started calling Wintineas "Wintee." Not super tight with Clarice, but Meimung thought they were friends.
'Hypno oppa's disciplining Clarice unni again today. So devoted!'
Once, she'd asked Hypno why he was a bit rough with Clarice. He'd answered:
—This bitch has a bad klepto habit. I'm scolding her, fixing her mouth, and training her.
—Got it!
Of course, hypnotized to accept it, Meimung took it at face value.
"Hypno oppa! Consultation room together again today, right?"
"Huh? No need anymore—Yandi's lessons are done."
"Oh, right! Meimung forgot☆"
'Then... no direct look at Hypno oppa's dick... huh?'
Meimung recalled the lessons with Hypno and Yandi. Yandi growing more pleasure-drenched daily into a prime top-tier bitch. As Yandi got lewder, watching Meimung felt more aroused too. Recalling those days made her rub her thighs unconsciously—she was influenced.
'Hypno oppa's... dick... it got big and small...'
Unconsciously, her eyes drifted to his crotch. Seeing it sharpened the memories.
"Mmm... Hoo..."
Rubbing her thighs, she felt even lewder, breathing sticky sighs. Hypno enjoyed her gaze and reaction.
"Heh heh heh, but with Awis's superstar Meimung around, others might open up easier for consultations. If you're okay, drop by sometimes?"
"Ah, sure! Leave it to Meimung☆"
"Thanks. Oh, you're cute today too, Meimung."
"Waaah! Thanks, mung~ mung☆"
"Hypno... I'm cute... too?"
"Wintee, you're angel-level cute, obviously!"
"Yeah...♡"
'Hypno oppa and Wintee unni are lovey-dovey today too! So~ nice to watch!'
"Alright, let's grab some requests! Go!"
"Yeah."
"Tch."
Hypno led the two to the request board. Meimung watched their backs, thinking,
'Today too~ let's do our best☆'
"Just move it here?"
"Yeah, that's the spot. Thanks so much for taking this request, Meimung."
That day, Meimung took a low-paying luggage-moving job other adventurers ignored—basically F-rank pay. But prioritizing others' joy over reward fit her desire to help.
"No biggie~ Mung~ Mung☆ Oh, you know about today's show, right?"
"...Gulp! Y-Yeah, of course! I'll be there!"
"Yay~ Thanks! I'll show super cute~ Meimung today too☆"
Her beaming smile made the middle-aged client gulp again.
'Whoa, what's with today? Her outfit's familiar by now... but lately, Meimung feels... more erotic.'
Watching the top-tier bitch lessons had stirred lewd feelings in Meimung. The unconscious sexy aura she exuded now made everyone see her hotter without realizing.
Meimung noticed the slightly changed gazes.
'They're seeing Meimung as even cuter than usual! Meimung's ha~ppy☆'
She chalked it up to her growing cuteness.
『Everyone~ Thanks for coming today too☆ Mung~ Mung☆』
Night. After another successful show, Meimung retreated backstage.
'Today, even more people saw Meimung as cute☆ Hee hee, so happy☆'
Grinning ear to ear, she overheard plaza-goers heading home.
"Meimung today... felt sexier than usual, somehow?"
"You think so too? Right? She was hot!"
"Her usual self, but... something... made me hard."
"You too? Me too! Meimung was insane today! What changed?"
"She wears slutty clothes normally, thought I was used to it... but today was next-level."
"Come next week too."
"Duh! Ugh, no side dish tonight... wait, this week's side dish is Meimung."
"Gonna bust three loads to Meimung tonight."
'Meimung... sexy?'
Not just those two—whispers everywhere called her lewder, sexier than usual.
Pursuing cuteness, hearing "sexy" repeatedly, Meimung thought,
'Meimung's sexy...? If sexy... then... super cute!'
"Yaaahoooo☆ Meimung's too haaaappy☆☆☆"
She hopped back to the inn. In her room, she eyed herself in the mirror, recalling their words, giggling with hands on cheeks.
"They say Meimung's sexy☆ Cute☆ Hee hee☆ Feels so gooood☆ But..."
Twisting her hips, she inspected her body.
"What's different from usual?"
To her, nothing had changed. But the audience's clear voices were fact to her.
"Where'd I get cuter...?"
Equating sexy with cute, she pondered. She traced when the "cuter" gazes started.
'Innkeeper saw Meimung cuter... from... ah! The day after Hypno oppa started Yandi unni's top-tier bitch lessons! From then, bit by bit... innkeeper saw Meimung cuter!'
Found the clue. But how to get cuter? No idea.
'Meimung... wants to get even cuter... what to do?'
Clapping, a new idea hit.
"Ah, right! Ask Hypno oppa tomorrow!"
Hypno linked to when it started, plus he was a counselor. Meimung figured he'd solve her dilemma.
