Kim Geun-cheol's Bizarre Adventure # 5
Kim Geun-cheol's Bizarre Adventure # 5
"How dare you run away when I'm trying to scold you!"
I'm pissed!
But seeing Kitty's back as she bolted away like that reminded me of an old forgotten memory.
A memory from my trainee days.
The hellish CS gas training... those crazy bastards had released the gas and were just standing there without giving the order to put on the gas masks. I held out for maybe the first three seconds, but my patience had already hit its limit, and I immediately screamed and kicked the floor.
Gyaaaaaagh!
I screamed and struggled desperately to escape, but the door was firmly shut, and the fast-moving drill instructors caught and threw me to the ground.
A memory of humiliation.
Those sons of bitches.
If only they'd given the order to put on the gas masks sooner, none of that would've happened. No kidding, I was confident I could've put it on in literally one second...!
"Was that how she felt?"
Recalling my own feelings back then, my anger subsided.
"Hehehe, yeah. Well, Kitty's a little kid too."
She must have run away because she was afraid of being scolded.
Judging by the fact that she didn't say much and just told me she hated me, she's fully aware of her own mistake. So, I guess scolding her had some effect.
I'll let her off the hook.
Honestly, my heart ached even while I was smacking her. Kitty might be a monsterkin who's scared the living hell out of me before, but what can you do? I've gotten attached to her.
"Ah! That's refreshing!"
Regardless, having given that impertinent brat a good scolding, I felt completely refreshed. The aftermath? There's none of that. Kitty's not petty enough to make me suffer over something like this.
—Shwoooosh!
I took a refreshing shower like that and lay down on my bed.
"..."
Nah. I'd better organize my equipment just in case. I immediately made a bundle, packed my clothes, shoes, weapon, water bottle, and protein bar, and placed it next to my pillow.
"Good."
Preparation complete.
Now then, shall I check my Status Window for the first time in a while?
Thinking that, I muttered quietly.
—Ding.
My Status Window popped up.
--------------------
[Status Window - Kim Geun-cheol]
「Strength: 22」
「Skill: 25」
「Stamina: 21」
「Endurance: 10」
「Magic Power: 20」
[Coin: 6,327]
--------------------
"Hehehe, look at this bastard!"
Except for Endurance, which didn't go up at all because I didn't get hit, all my stats have entered the twenties. This is truly what youth is all about!
Compared to my initial stats, my main stats have literally each gone up by about ten points. At this rate, won't I end up becoming the strongest in the universe? Since all my stats rose evenly, it's entirely plausible.
"Whew!"
There was a time when I'd burst into tears just from seeing a monster illusion. But now, not only have I slaughtered strange demon beasts, but I've also smacked Kitty's butt.
I've grown that much.
These days, my body feels light, and moving is incredibly natural. Feeling an intense sense of accomplishment, I invested 6,000 coins into Magic Power.
[Magic Power increased by 2.]
「Magic Power: 22」
"Whoa."
With this, my total stats hit exactly 100.
I'm seriously a powerhouse at this point, aren't I?
"Hehehe."
Bathing in a happy mood, I sprawled out on the bed like a star. Sleep is absolutely creeping right in!
* * *
"Puhahahaha!"
After sleeping comfortably and waking up, I feel so refreshed.
"No way, Kim Geun-cheol? Your face is looking awfully bright today? Isn't it maybe too bright?"
"Did this bastard get bipolar or something?"
"Could be. Lee Si-hoo? What's going on?"
"No idea. He's been like that since this morning. He's incredibly happy."
My friends are murmuring beside me.
I waved at them and said,
"Nah, it's just... should I say I'm in a good mood today?"
Actually, it wasn't just some random, baseless, completely senseless good mood. If I got that happy just from spanking Kitty's butt a little, that'd make me a pervert, wouldn't it?
Maybe it's because my total stats reached 100.
The moment I woke up, I tested my abilities, and things went much more smoothly than I expected, which put me in an extremely good mood.
"So, tell us what's got you so happy. Share it with us, will you? You gonna keep it all to yourself?"
—Scootch.
Leona said, sitting down and pressing her butt against my desk... Huh? Leona's big rear is crushing my desk?
"Hurry up and talk. Don't you know you're supposed to share good things?"
Since she's sitting on my desk, Leona's position is higher. I naturally ended up looking up at Leona... No, wait, but Leona's skirt seems a bit short, and it's really bothering me.
"Well, you see. Leona. This morning, I—"
"Huh? Hey!"
Yu-ri suddenly shouted.
"This bastard's fixated on Leona's butt right now!"
"What are you talking about!"
"Bullshit! I saw everything!"
What kind of slanderous accusation is this!
"Wh-what did you say?! What are you looking at, Kim Geun-cheol!"
Leona immediately shoved both hands under her skirt and glared at me! No, I'm telling you, it's not like that!
"Oh man, Leona! It's not like that!"
"You beast!"
"You dog bastard!"
"Yu-ri! For crying out loud, stop!"
"I said, what are you looking at!!!"
Anyway.
"Aack!"
The two women wildly messed up my hair with their hands and went back to their seats.
"Hmph!"
"This bastard, really. Just you wait."
Leona went "Hmph!" and Yu-ri spoke while sending me a threatening glare... Oh man, what the hell is this?
"This is so unfair I could die!"
"Seriously, Geun-cheol. What is wrong with you?"
"I'm telling you, I'm innocent!"
"Heheh, like an idiot."
Si-hoo, that bastard, is just laughing like it's amusing.
"Is this about being an idiot?"
"Anyway, Geun-cheol. Let's watch a movie in the dorm tonight."
"What? What's the occasion? You're actually suggesting watching a movie?"
What kind of movie?
"Nah. I just found a movie I want to see. But if it's just going to be me watching alone in my room, I'd rather watch it with you, Geun-cheol. Saves money, too."
"What, we watching it on a computer?"
"Yeah. You can buy and watch them on the internet these days."
Well, duh.
"Hehehe, then I'll have to buy some popcorn today. Let's see. But what are we watching?"
I'd been planning to do a bit of training in my room before bed, but the mention of a movie piqued my interest. I should buy some popcorn. No, wait. I still have the fried chicken gift card Ryuna gave me. I should use that.
"Hmm, actually, there are a few things I want to see. Let's decide then."
"Sounds good!"
Looks like I'll be hanging out with Si-hoo in the dorm for the first time in a while. Si-hoo returned to his seat, and I turned around.
"Ryu, wanna come too?"
"What nonsense are you spouting all of a sudden!"
"Ah, if you don't wanna come, then don't. Why are you yelling?"
"I'm not going! To your shabby dormitory or anywhere!"
"Huh? Shabby dormitory? Bzzzt! Foul! I'm so telling the Chairwoman about this bastard!"
You're dead!
"What! You bastard!"
Mentally noting Ryu's raging behavior.
"Good morning."
I greeted the entering Instructor Lee So-ra.
* * *
"What? You can't make it? Hey, man. How can that be?"
"S-sorry! Geun-cheol! I got a call from home all of a sudden! Let's watch it next time, next time!"
"That seriously blows!"
"I'll buy you something next time!"
"Alright, I'll accept that!"
After apologizing, Si-hoo headed out of the dorm. I was all set to watch a movie with this bastard tonight, what's up all of a sudden?
And it just had to be right when I finished all my training and was ready to hang out. I'd been so pumped up about watching a movie.
"Argh."
Should I just do some training in my room, then?
It's a bit late anyway. I'll just train a bit, browse the internet, and go to bed early.
The moment I took off my top, thinking that.
—Bzzzz.
A gate appeared right in front of me!
"Kitty?"
"...Geun-cheol."
Kitty, who walked out from inside, was fidgeting weirdly with her hands behind her back, looking diagonally downward.
Right.
So Kitty has something she wants to say to me.
"Hehehe, our Kitty. Got something to tell me?"
"Well, you see, Geun-cheol."
"Yeah."
"...Were you really mad yesterday?"
"I was mad. But now that Kitty's come back to apologize like this, I'm over it."
"Oh."
Kitty looked up at me.
"Geun-cheol."
"What."
"Hug me."
"You adorable little devil."
I walked over to Kitty, who had spread her arms wide, and gave her a hug. Kitty squeezed my back tightly and buried her face into my neck.
"Geun-cheol, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that."
"But yesterday you said you hated me."
"Yeah. I hate Geun-cheol. How could you spank Kitty's butt like that? I really, really hate you. Don't ever do it again."
"Not a chance. If Kitty misbehaves again, I'll scold you exactly like that. What then?"
—Flinch!
Kitty flinched for a moment.
Note to self.
Kitty's weak point is her butt.
I don't mean that in a weird way, I mean she's literally weak there.
"..."
Anyway.
The fact that Kitty came to apologize like this is a very good thing. Someone who knows their own faults naturally becomes honest.
Kitty hides a lot of things.
So today, I should try to figure some of it out.
"Anyway, Kitty. Since you apologized today, I'm totally over my anger."
"Okay."
"But there's one thing I'm curious about, Kitty. What exactly was that place yesterday?"
"Hmm."
"From what I saw, there were skeletons and monsters. I even found a tombstone, man."
"Hmmm."
But wait, is she ignoring me?
—Slide.
I peeled Kitty, who was hugging me, off of me and looked at her face.
"..."
Kitty was looking away with a blank face, completely playing dumb.
"Kitty. Where is that place? I asked you what it's used for."
"Hmmmm."
"You're clamming up? That's it. Our Kitty's going to get another scolding from me."
"H-huh?! What!"
"Come here."
I immediately grabbed Kitty's wrist and pulled her to sit on the bed. Kitty, knowing her own sin, was completely limp and let herself be dragged over. Even though she could easily escape with her own strength.
"Geun-cheol! Just a moment!"
"Kitty. You ignoring my serious question? You need to learn a lesson."
—Slip.
I said this while rubbing the small of her back. Just as I was about to spank her butt again.
"N-no!"
Suddenly.
—Fwoosh!
Kitty grew bigger!
"Wh-whoa?!"
The same form I saw last time! Not quite as much as the Void Princess, but Kitty had matured into an adult woman!
As her physique grew, the black dress she was wearing became proportionally smaller, and Kitty's skin began to be exposed...! Her chest and hips swelled up!
"Kitty! What the hell!"
In my panic, I pushed Kitty away. Kitty, who got off my thigh like that, stood up.
"Ahh."
She put one hand to her head and looked at me with a grin that felt almost sinister.
"Heh heh heh."
"H-hey! You! Turn back right this instant before I scold you! Kitty, quickly turn back!"
"Geun-cheol."
"What!"
"Are you... going to scold Kitty?"
"What did you say!"
After saying that, Kitty suddenly closed the distance and grabbed my shoulders...! No, her cleavage! I couldn't move, as if I'd been hit with a stun status effect!
—Sssk.
Kitty's smile deepened.
As if that wasn't enough.
"You gonna spank Kitty?"
"Gahk!"
Kitty pressed her stomach against my thigh, taking up the corporal punishment position just like before!
"Hm? Hmhm? Geun-cheol. You gonna spank Kitty?"
And wasn't she even swaying her hips gently as she said it...!
"You get off me this instant!"
"Geun-cheol. You just said you were going to scold Kitty."
This crazy brat is messing with me!
