Chichi Arrives in Korea
As we headed upstairs, Lisa was sitting alone at the dining table, eating her meal. The sight of the android girl from Brazil having laid out a full Korean-style spread was pretty exotic. No one else would have prepared it for her, so she must have done it herself. Her expression barely changed, but she seemed to like Korean food. Otherwise, why bother setting up a meal like this?
Kang A-jin's fridge was stocked with way more food than necessary—probably six of them in total. No way she was getting deliveries, so she must have gone shopping herself. Judging by the abundance of foreign ingredients you rarely see in Korean marts, she was clearly into cooking. Maybe she warps to other countries for ingredients, I thought. I'd never seen it happen, but it seemed entirely possible.
Anyway, Lisa was the only one eating quietly, while Valentina and Luiza were nowhere in sight. The only clue was the grunting sounds echoing from somewhere, telling me exactly what those two were up to. That couple really never gets tired.
"Tasty?"
I asked, and Lisa looked up with a nod.
"I think this place suits my constitution."
Coming from her, it had to be true. If anything, this might be the best spot for her—with me around and all these Korean dishes to her liking. No doubt life in Brazil had been a chaotic mess from her perspective. Sure, incidents popped up here often enough, but around Valentina's sorceress group as leader? Even more chaos. Lisa had always tagged along, so she'd seen plenty of blood. And heard even more moans.
"Glad to hear it."
I watched her eat for a bit before realizing I was starving too. I fixed myself a portion and dug in.

"Oh, honey~ Did our little Puppy satisfy you plenty?"
Luiza sauntered over, reeking of fresh sex just like you'd expect from someone who'd been at it moments ago.
"Yes."
"Ehh~ Just 'yes'? Come on, spill the details..."
Luiza clung to me stickily, demanding a play-by-play, when the elevator doors slid open with a soft hiss. Kang A-jin, who'd been sleeping downstairs, had come up.
"What details are you so eager to hear?"
"Ah, no~ I was just..."
Even Luiza seemed a bit awkward around Kang A-jin. Made sense—she'd never managed to drag her all the way to bed, and their personalities were polar opposites.
"Not sure if it's the answer you wanted, but Sung-gi's abilities have undergone a major evolution. Thanks to you, Luiza. So, thanks for that."
"Oh~ Really? That's seriously..."
No need to spell it out—Kang A-jin's "major evolution" clearly meant her bedroom skills. As Luiza's hand snaked toward my crotch where I sat, I casually twisted my hips to dodge it.
"Aww~~"
A woman like Luiza? I could probably fuck her every day and never get bored. But that didn't mean I could spend all my time glued to her. There were other women, after all. And more importantly, we had a serious issue to deal with right now.
Valentina appeared next, also dripping with the scent of sex. She wasn't wearing a stitch of clothing, her hair and body still damp from a recent shower.
"Master, you're not living alone here—put some clothes on when you wander around."
"Sorry~ Puppy~ But more importantly..."
Valentina eyed Kang A-jin closely. Having lived with her for so long, she spotted the changes right away.
"Our little Puppy had sex with that cock of yours and leveled up again!"
"Yes...... Honestly, it was incredible. I never imagined I could grow this much."
"You were always a prodigy, our Puppy, but..."
Valentina approached and pulled her into a tight hug, burying her nose in her neck and sniffing deeply. I figured Kang A-jin would push her away, but she just let it happen, unfazed. Probably par for the course back in Brazil too. Rejecting it outright might just fan the flames of lust, so a bit of compromise made sense.
"Now it feels like that raw gem has finally bloomed! Keep this up, and you'll surpass even me!"
"Ah......"
Valentina's bright smile left a deep impression on me. Admitting someone might outshine her showed she had zero ego about it. The "saintess" title? She'd only kept it because others slapped it on her—otherwise, she'd ignore it. Her retiring young and settling in Korea proved that. It also hit home how much she truly cared for Kang A-jin. She was genuinely thrilled about her growth.
"It's an honor. But I'm still a long way off......"
Kang A-jin blushed at her master's high praise. Sure, some of it might feel awkward since my involvement kickstarted it, but sorcery wasn't a class you mastered overnight. What I could pick up and mimic was just surface-level imitation via attributes. True sorcery demanded deep understanding and interpretation to wield properly—and reaching Valentina's level? That took genius-level intuition. Playing with fully internalized sorcery on a whole new plane. That's what she'd achieved. Seeing her now, it was clear the praise wasn't empty. Her expression and tone screamed sincerity, which moved Kang A-jin.
I felt proud too. Like when Kim Se-in hit S-rank—it was just satisfying to see the worthy get their due.
"My honey~~"
Valentina peeled away from Kang A-jin with a sly grin and came to me. Her damp, naked body exuded overwhelming allure. The kind no normal guy could resist. I wasn't much different, but now wasn't the time to pull her in and get filthy. There were three pairs of eyes on us, after all. Sure, we could make it a five-way free-for-all, but I wasn't quite that advanced yet.
Valentina pressed on, ignoring my subtle retreat.
"You're evolving without end, my honey. If SS-rank or SSS-rank titles existed, they'd be yours alone~~"
As she said, no SS- or SSS-rank hunters existed yet. SS-rank dungeons were rare too—one was about to pop up in Korea. Once more appeared and the ranking caught on, SS-rank hunters would follow. Maniacs already tiered S-ranks among themselves. I wasn't deep into it, but maybe some S-rank was already dubbed SS in those circles.
"You only spoil our Puppy~ Not gonna spoil me?"
"We did it...... yesterday."
"Tch~ I live in the moment~~ Yesterday's ancient history."
"You've had plenty today already."
"That's that, this is this. Right, Luiza?"
Valentina turned to her soulmate, who nodded like it was obvious.
"Obviously~~ Did we fuck yesterday? I forgot all about it."
Even amid their overwhelming sexual banter, I kept my cool.
"No means no—don't try to set the mood."
"Tch~"
Valentina pouted like a kid, but I knew half of it was playacting. Classic Latina high energy. She forgot bad stuff fast too.
"Oh yeah, I got a call."
She changed the subject.
"What about?"
I could already guess—this was why we were all gathered here.
"Chichi's in Korea."
"Oh, really?"
That sealed it. Kang Mancheol really had called in the poison sorceresses Chichi and Titi.
"Titi didn't come with?"
Luiza asked, sounding a tad disappointed. She shouldn't be wishing for that. Having slept with her, I knew firsthand how terrifying poison sorceresses were—hard classes to handle. Bodies tempered in poison? Straight out of a wuxia novel. Facing two top-tier ones? Brutal, no matter our strength. Poison users demanded caution, which was why Valentina brought Luiza along.
