Episode 26: It would be better to bring... a condom, right?
A date.
I never expected her to wish for something like this.
Did she have feelings for me?
[Yoo Ara : Conquest Rate - 83%]
Come to think of it, the Conquest Rate is almost at 85.
Being this high means I've really made my way into Yoo Ara's heart.
Of course, I hadn't considered that it might be for romantic reasons.
It makes sense, though, since she and I are in a teacher-student relationship.
It was closer to the fact that I hadn't even thought about approaching this as a romantic relationship.
I hadn't done anything to warrant that, either.
'Or am I wrong?'
I mean, I did forcibly strip her when we first met, but who would actually like that...
Suddenly, one word from Yoo Ara's status window came to mind.
[Sexual Preference : Masochist - Feels pleasure in masochistic situations.]
I guess that's not necessarily true.
Considering her sexual preferences, that probably had some influence.
"A date, right now?"
"Ah, no! I-isn't it a bit late today? The time is... Ha, haha."
"It is late."
It's already 6 PM.
The sun was slowly setting behind the western mountains.
It was a late time to do anything.
"Yes. Y-you don't dislike it, do you?"
"It's not that. Are you sure that's what you want?"
"Of course."
Yoo Ara said, her face bright red.
"Alright."
If that's what you want to do so badly.
'Unexpected.'
I thought she would want a different kind of gift.
Based on past experience.
'Like the Mana Circulation we did before.'
Or if not that, some acts to satisfy her sexual preferences.
But a date, of all things.
It was a much more ordinary request than I thought.
"Then let's go on that date this weekend."
"The weekend?"
"Yeah. That works, right?"
"Ye-yes! That's great."
Yoo Ara nodded vigorously.
"Then let's end the date talk here. First, let's look at your error note."
"E-error note?"
"I watched the live broadcast. The 2nd exam."
"Ah... somehow, that's embarrassing."
I continued, looking at her.
"First, let me give you a general review. It was good. You utilized 100% of what you learned, right? There were no mistakes either."
"W-was it?"
"Yeah. You performed all the versatile roles in the team well. Various situation developments using Psychokinesis, sub-dealer, aggro ping-pong, deflecting enemy attacks, etc. You did your role well."
"I tried really hard. Hehehe."
"It seemed like it."
I was also satisfied with how you dodged Harold's attack.
You flexibly managed the aggro that bounced off when the tanker couldn't hold Harold.
By the standards of an average person, it was a 100-point test paper.
Yeah. By the standards of an average person, that is.
"If I were to point out some regrettable aspects."
"Yes. Please tell me."
"You're too noisy when using Psychokinesis. In places with many villains you need to be careful of, you need to operate more quietly."
"Ah."
"You were just lucky that you didn't draw aggro. If you had been slightly unluckier, you would have kept fighting multiple villains."
"I'll keep that in mind."
"Let's practice a bit more."
I had nothing else to say.
"That's it."
"......Really?"
"Yeah. The 2nd exam was perfect. The viewers watching the match were also captivated by your play."
"I-I see."
The corners of Yoo Ara's mouth wiggled upwards.
She couldn't hide her joy.
"How does it feel to go from a student held back a year to a promising prospect?"
"...Honestly, I don't know."
"Haven't you had any contact from other guilds?"
"The professor told me. That I might get recruitment offers from other guilds."
"I suppose so."
The Korea Hunter Academy is a place full of the best hunter talents in the country.
They must have all watched the 1st year's 2nd exam footage.
They must have already put her on their recruitment list.
"But I told the professor. That I already have a guild I'm contracted with."
Then she looked at me.
It was a look asking to be praised for doing a good job.
"Well done. You remembered."
"Of course! Because it's a contract with Ssaem!"
I looked at her with a smile.
"I'll be going now. I came today to tell you congratulations."
"Ah... yes."
Her eyes were full of regret.
Suddenly, I remembered that I had left my clothes with her.
"Oh, right, what happened to the clothes you said you'd wash last time?"
"Ah, th-that? Th-that is. Ac-actually......."
Yoo Ara, visibly flustered, babbled and changed the subject.
"Th-the washing machine broke! I-I haven't... washed them yet."
"Is that so? If it's inconvenient, I'd rather take them and......."
"N-no! It's fine. I said I would do it for Ssaem, so I can't let you go through the trouble."
"Is that so."
"Yes! Th-that's right!"
Her being overly flustered was suspicious, but since she insisted on doing it herself, well.
"Alright. Then get some good rest today. You worked hard."
"Ye-yes! Then I'll see you on the weekend."
"Yeah. Let's think about what to do on the date slowly."
"Yes."
I said my final goodbye to her and left.
A date.
What should I prepare?
"Ugh. I'm crazy! The washing machine broke, what kind of excuse is that......."
Yoo Ara shook her head, clutching her reddened face.
She hadn't managed to wash Kim Si-woo's clothes.
After masturbating once while smelling them, her mind calmed down, and because she did it several times in a row before the exam, she fell asleep as if she had fainted.
She hadn't even thought about washing them.
Even now, Kim Si-woo's clothes were safely kept in her treasure box.
She had to wash them now.
But when she tried to wash them, she felt sad.
"Whew, still, I talked to him safely."
The date that was her wish.
Actually, she had agonized over it several times.
Should she ask him to do Mana Circulation a few more times?
Or should she ask him to teach her Mana Circulation that could give her even stronger power?
But after thinking about it carefully, that was a teaching she could receive as long as she kept getting tutored by Kim Si-woo.
So she asked for a date.
The reason was simple.
To seduce Kim Si-woo, who didn't see her as a woman.
To let him know that she was a woman too.
It hurt her pride somehow that Kim Si-woo didn't see her as a woman.
Even when she lay there completely naked, he would only get an erection and not think about doing anything.
Even when she told him to stay and eat ramen, giving him an opening, he didn't do anything and really just ate the ramen and left.
'He did massage my body that day, though.......'
That, too, was an action done strictly as a teacher and student.
It was never anything romantic between a man and a woman.
"O-of course, I don't want him to do anything to me, but......."
Can you really say that's not true?
Yoo Ara couldn't even be sure of the words she had blurted out like an excuse.
She knew.
That she had feelings for Kim Si-woo.
Because of his ability?
She couldn't deny that it was a plus point to some extent.
But his eyes full of sincerity that he showed while tutoring her.
His sweet voice that tickled one's ears.
The ripped chest muscles and prominent collarbone muscles glimpsed between his shirt.
Even his muscular forearms that were revealed whenever he wore short sleeves.
The masculinity he possessed seduced Yoo Ara time and time again.
"Haa......."
Now, whenever she masturbated, she always thought only of Kim Si-woo.
Getting drunk on his scent, recalling the massage he gave her, and imagining his face and voice, the time she spent touching her lower parts increased.
Get a grip, Yoo Ara.
I'm just doing this because Ssaem is good at what he does.
I have no other thoughts.
Because I need Ssaem.
'So I can keep receiving the scholarship.'
Contrary to those thoughts, Yoo Ara tried uselessly hard to look pretty for him.
"Heuuu......."
Actually, today too, unlike usual, she tried to seduce him by wearing pretty clothes.
If she asked for a date and struck a seductive pose, wouldn't he see her as a woman?
Unfortunately, it seemed she had failed.
Besides.
'What are you going to do if you just grin at a single word of praise.'
Just now, at Kim Si-woo's one word of praise, the pressure that had been weighing down her heart melted away in an instant.
It makes sense, as Kim Si-woo was her light and salt right now.
It was thanks to his existence that she could come this far.
He was the teacher who always taught her harshly and, at the same time, her benefactor.
It was recognition from such a person.
It was bound to be a good thing.
Of course, for now, Yoo Ara's heart wanted to have a more developed relationship.
If one were to call it a developed relationship.
'Doing this and that together, like this and like that.......'
"Kyaaak, what do I do. It's embarrassing."
Just imagining it made her face burn.
Get a grip. This is for me. For the scholarship, for my future grades at the academy.
Really?
Is that really all?
The sincerity in her heart asked back.
Yoo Ara avoided answering the question.
"This weekend......."
She clenched her fists tightly.
She vowed that she would definitely make Ssaem Kim Si-woo fall head over heels for her.
Even if it meant doing that, she wanted him to become a teacher who only looked at her.
Time passed quickly.
The final exams, which started with the 1st year's 2nd exam, finished the semester on the 4th day with the 4th year's 2nd exam.
The first semester ended safely.
Which means.
Vacation.
The academy students who welcomed the vacation all returned to their hometowns as if they had promised to do so.
Those who couldn't do so remained in Seoul and continued their lives living alone.
Yoo Ara was one of them.
Even if she had the circumstances to go back, she wouldn't have been able to go right away.
Why, you ask?
Because she still had a date with Kim Si-woo.
"Hye-ri, are you going down to your hometown?"
"Yeah. I'm going down this time to tell them."
"What?"
"Since I showed that I achieved results as a tanker this time, I thought maybe I could get recognized by my oppa too. I also found a good teacher."
"Really?"
"Yeah. I'm going to try learning from that person starting from the 2nd semester."
"Must be a good teacher."
"I don't think they're famous, but they have skill."
"Really?"
"Yeah. But to get help from someone like that, I'll need a lot of money."
'Looks like she found someone really decent.'
Lee Hye-ri, who had asked for the method of how Yoo Ara suddenly grew after the 1st exam, stopped clinging to her at some point.
She must have given up too.
'Sorry, but I'm never going to tell you.'
Since she also found a way, it seems she found a capable teacher, so I can rest easy now, right?
She felt a strange energy mixed in Lee Hye-ri's gaze looking at her, but she didn't have time to worry about such things.
It makes sense, because.
'It's tomorrow.'
The date she set to go on with Ssaem Si-woo.
Right now, her head was filled with the date with Kim Si-woo.
What to wear. What cosmetics to use. What perfume to spray.
It's a bit indecent of a thought, but.
'A condom...... I should probably bring one, right?'
She was busy planning her strategy to win.
-Let's watch a movie.
-There are a lot of fun movies that came out recently. Let's eat lunch, watch a movie, then go to a cafe to chat lightly, and have dinner. I've already made a reservation for the dinner restaurant.
Kim Si-woo even made a list before booking the restaurant and asked Yoo Ara which place was okay.
He asked if there was anything she couldn't eat and asked about her favorite menu.
She was even more excited by Kim Si-woo's attentiveness.
Thump thump.
For the date tomorrow.
"I'll cheer for you, Hye-ri."
"Thanks. See you when vacation ends."
"Yeah! See you when vacation ends."
That was how the academy's first semester ended.
I arrived in front of the station near her house, the meeting place I set with Yoo Ara.
Even though I arrived 10 minutes earlier than the promised time.
"Ah, Ssaem Si-woo!"
Yoo Ara had arrived at the meeting place first.
I could feel that she had put a lot of effort into this date.
The gazes of surrounding men gathered on her, who was dressed to the nines.
Yoo Ara was a beauty who could be counted among the best even in the academy.
It would have been strange if eyes didn't go to her, fully armed as she was.
Yoo Ara waved her hand at me.
In time with that, her chest danced gently.
