Enjoyable Morning with Yuna and Strategic Schemes
Seong-il had been utterly absorbed in the pleasant time spent with Yuna, the renowned detective of the magical city. Leaving her sleeping peacefully in his embrace, he casually headed for the shower room attached to her living room. After cleansing his body thoroughly, he returned to her bedroom and gently woke her.
"Yuna...! Yuna...! Sorry to disturb you, but could you wake up for a moment?"
"Huh...? Yes? Y-yes... Master."
"That's enough. Only call me that when we're having sex. Once the 'play' is over, you can use my name."
"R-really?"
The woman who had resisted him fiercely all night only to be thoroughly disciplined blushed as she asked. Seong-il smiled bitterly at her reaction.
"Of course. Like I told you before, this is simply my preference for nighttime activities, so just think of it as 'play'…?"
"...Isn't that a bit too rough for mere play?"
Looking at her, Seong-il gave a sly smile and replied.
"That's because you enjoy it when I get rough, don't you?"
"..."
Yuna had no response to his words. Seeing her like that, Seong-il decided to drive the point home by offering her an excuse she could cling to.
"I don't act this way with just anyone. I at least read the room first. Honestly, your masochistic tendencies are so obvious it's almost blinding."
"...!!"
"It's true. That's why I played a little rough with you—so we could both enjoy ourselves. Understand?"
After speaking, Seong-il pulled her close, wrapped her in his arms, and kneaded her ass while whispering.
"Think carefully about what I said yesterday. There's nothing for you to lose."
"...Like what?"
"That no other man can accept your sexual kink as safely as I can."
"...."
"So accept it honestly. We'll act like elegant friends during the day. Then at night, we play master and slave."
"Mmm..."
When she showed signs of seriously considering his proposal, Seong-il quickly moved behind her. He reached around to knead her breasts and pussy as he continued.
"Refuse and I'll spank you?"
"!!"
"Answer me."
At his firm tone, her face burned crimson. She lowered her head for a long moment before finally speaking.
"I... it's good..."
"Ooh~"
Seong-il grinned brightly at the sight of her flushed acceptance. He pulled five green bottles from his inventory and set them on the table beside her.
"Good. As a commemorative gift for becoming my personal cumslut, I'll give these to you, Yuna."
Yuna's cheeks flushed at his blatant use of the word 'cumslut,' but she quickly regained her composure and asked.
"What are they...?"
"Stamina recovery potions!"
"Ehh...?!"
"I made them using a similar principle to the red potion I gave you last time. If that red one healed internal and external injuries, these instantly restore a person's vitality. They're just as remarkable as the previous batch."
"Oh my god...!!"
Her eyes sparkled with excitement at the new research subject as she picked up one of the bottles. Seong-il moved behind her, sliding his hands under her arms to embrace her from behind. While subtly groping her breasts, he demonstrated by drinking the potion himself.
"Watch this!"
He took a swig. Gulp, gulp! "Haa..."
Seong-il immediately felt his stamina, depleted from their intense all-night sex, surge back in an instant. He took another mouthful, then kissed Yuna deeply, feeding her the liquid.
"!!"
Startled by the sudden kiss, Yuna froze for a moment. But perhaps because they had spent the night so passionately intertwined, she couldn't resist. Their tongues tangled, and she naturally swallowed the potion.
"!?"
The powerful tonic effect hit her almost immediately. Yuna's eyes widened in shock.
"Pwah..."
After their deep kiss, Seong-il pulled back, exhaled, and asked with a smile.
"How is it? Pretty amazing, right?"
"I-it's incredible! A potion like this actually exists!!"
"Yep. So research it together with the red potion from before. It'll be useful for you."
"Thank you!!"
Yuna beamed at the gift. Seong-il gave her forehead a light kiss, then said his goodbyes.
"I need to head to work, so I'll take my leave now!"
"Have a good day...!"
Receiving a send-off from the busty beauty—who wore a mysteriously seductive expression unlike her usual self—Seong-il returned to the Moriarty office.
Creak…!
There were still roughly two hours left before work officially began. Like a child sneaking in after causing trouble, Seong-il quietly opened the office door and slipped inside.
"Whew... Thank goodness no one's here yet."
Just as he began tiptoeing toward his room, trying to muffle his footsteps—
"Hmm~ I wonder where our little playboy detective assistant has been all night?"
"!!"
Startled by the voice behind him, Seong-il whipped around. There stood Elysia, smiling brightly at him.
"Eek!! You scared me!!"
"Why~? Did you do something wrong…?"
Her face was full of mischief as she teased him. Seong-il flinched, then quickly turned the tables with a question of his own.
"W-what are you doing here so early in the morning?"
"What am I doing…? Preparing breakfast for Detective Moriarty and Detective Assistant Seong-il, of course?"
"Ah…"
Seong-il, who had been calculating everything around his own arrival time, had run into an unexpected obstacle. He began desperately trying to explain himself.
"Ah… that… yesterday, somehow…"
"It's fine~"
"Huh?"
"Assistant Seong-il isn't a child. It's perfectly natural to go meet other women and have some fun~"
"...I didn't meet anyone, though?"
Sia burst into laughter at his response, then walked over and gave his cheek a light kiss before heading to the kitchen.
"Instead~ tonight you're mine… you know that, right?"
Nod. Nod.
His adorably obedient reaction made Sia chuckle. She continued speaking as she walked away.
"From the scent on you, it seems you've already showered~ Just sit at your desk, Assistant Seong-il~ I'll bring black tea and breakfast shortly~"
"Ah… th-thank you."
Thanks to her considerate attitude, Seong-il nodded in a slight daze and moved to his desk.
'Let's see… Since things have turned out this way, I might as well check on the things I've been putting off…?'
Seong-il quietly took out the Teleportation Ring and the Advanced Invisibility Ring. Using his Game Master and Induction abilities, he began assessing their value.
'Hmm… Twenty-three days until I can use it. Manageable.'
After confirming the cooldown, Seong-il nodded once, held the ring, and spoke.
"Tariff."
'Ugh… That's expensive. Still, compared to the Black Ball that costs 100,000 points, it's cheap. I'll buy it.'
Seong-il activated his Game Master ability to check his current points.
'38,200 points… That's more than enough!'
Without hesitation, Seong-il spent the points to purchase the Ancient Teleportation Ring, then began reviewing the plan he had been contemplating.
'Perfect. For the time being, I'll focus on clearing the final main quest in the Magic City and the Great Detective world while waiting for the ring's cooldown to finish.'
'Once the cooldown is over, I'll return to the Explosive Murim Chronicles world, meet up with Eun-wol, and use the ring to teleport straight to the rendezvous point with Saekma!'
'That way, we can safely escape any pursuit from the Martial Alliance or the Blood Cult. Plus, it helps hide our connection with Saekma as an added bonus.'
'After that, I'll return to this world again, finish the final quest, and recharge the ring's cooldown!!'
'By freezing time in the Explosive Murim Chronicles world like this, playing in other game worlds, and repeating this trick about three times while charging the ring, I can effectively cover over 150 km with my companions in less than twenty minutes of real time in that world!!'
'This completely eliminates unexpected variables like enemy pursuit, guaranteeing our safety from powerful foes.'
Having finalized his plan, Seong-il once again realized just how incredible the Ancient Teleportation Ring he had received from Luphtesia truly was.
'Whether in reality or in a game world… if a crisis occurs, I can escape that world, pause time, and use the ring's cooldown trick. It essentially means I can flee 50 km every five minutes in any given world!'
Seong-il chuckled at his flawless scheme, but his gaze soon fell on the Powerful Protection Gauntlet, and he fell into thought.
'That said… the Powerful Protection Gauntlet seems to have its usable magic sealed. Is there any way to break that seal?'
He took off the gauntlet and examined it from every angle. Unable to find any obvious clues, he sighed.
'What would a magic novice like me know about breaking a seal on a gauntlet…? Maybe I should visit a world related to magic next…?'
With that thought, he naturally spoke the command.
"Tariff."
"Ten thousand points?!"
Seong-il was shocked by the price attached to what seemed like a simple defensive gauntlet. As he examined it, his mind began racing.
'Whoa… Ten thousand points means it's on the same level as the Ancient Teleportation Ring… If I can just break the seal, this thing must be incredible! If I can pay the tariff and use it in other worlds, it'll be a huge help!'
'It hurts to spend so many points, but if I can't unseal it here in the Magic City and the Great Detective world, I'll take it to another world and figure it out no matter what!'
Having spent nearly 20,000 of his hard-earned points in an instant, Seong-il felt like crying tears of blood. He swallowed his regret and thought.
'Ugh… It hurts, but I have to think of it as an investment in the future. Anyway, should I buy the usage rights for the Advanced Invisibility Ring too…?'
He had considered purchasing the tariff rights for the Advanced Invisibility Ring, but soon shook his head.
'No. I'll give this to Yuna, have her disassemble it, and mass-produce it as lesser artifacts. Even if the effect isn't as strong as the original, if she can create invisibility rings with a decent level of performance, they'll be incredibly useful during the guild war in the world of How to Become an Alchemist. So I'll hold off on buying this one with points…'
Just as Seong-il finished organizing his thoughts about how to handle the treasures he had collected, Elysia appeared before him and began setting the breakfast table.
"What are you thinking about so deeply?"
She asked with a bright smile. Seong-il answered.
"Hm…? It's nothing. I'm just a bit tired…"
"Oho~ The lady you played with last night must have had some incredible technique?!"
"...It's not like that."
"Pfft… I understand. Anyway. I was thinking of doing a job for the two of you soon. Could you help me with it?"
"A job…?"
Seong-il looked puzzled at the sudden statement. Sia smiled at him and continued.
"I mentioned it before, remember? I intentionally lost to raise the reputation of our nominal boss. Don't you recall?"
"Ah, right. That thing?"
"Yes… Shouldn't we start preparing soon?"
