The Bedroom Schedule
In this parlor, a somewhat shocking conversation was unfolding, but I considered myself fortunate all the same. Because Kang A-jin hadn't brought up the fact that she'd had sex with me last night.
After a moment's thought, Kim Seol-bi spoke up.
"We don't necessarily need Kang A-jin's help. We could use items..."
"Do you really believe that?"
"Pardon?"
"I've heard the rumors about items that let you have sex beyond rank differences, but it's all lies. You can tell just from looking at the recipes—they have no effect."
"So the sellers are all scammers..."
"No. They're probably clueless too. Real, crucial knowledge and information is always monopolized by a select few."
Kang A-jin didn't spell it out, but her tone radiated confidence that she was one of those few who possessed it. From my encounter with her yesterday, I knew it was true. I wasn't an expert on sorcery or shamans, but was there anyone in the world who could match her?
Kim Seol-bi glanced at me. I knew exactly what her look meant. We'd had sex at dawn. She'd worn earrings to suppress her mana, and I'd had a ring on my dick. They seemed to work at first, but they'd shattered soon after.
I figured those weren't cheap trinkets she'd gotten from just anyone. In the end, Kang A-jin was right. The technology to enable cross-rank sex wasn't something anyone could access. In that sense, she was incredibly valuable.
"How can we trust that?"
Kang A-jin replied to Kim Seol-bi's question with unwavering assurance.
"We test it."
"Test it how...?"
Kim Seol-bi's face flushed red. Even after what happened at dawn, talking about sex in front of others clearly embarrassed her.
"I'll yield the first turn. Kim Seol-bi, Kim Eun-bi—you go ahead. I'll assist with my sorcery. You'll know if it works once you try it yourselves, right?"
Oh, my head was spinning. Of course, if I could have sex with Kim Seol-bi, Kim Eun-bi, and Kang A-jin, nothing could be better. I wanted it. It wasn't an exaggeration to say it was my most burning desire right now. And it seemed Kim Seol-bi and Kim Eun-bi felt the same.
"Fine."
Kim Seol-bi said.
"If it really works, we'll do as you say, Kang A-jin."
Kang A-jin smiled serenely. Kim Eun-bi said nothing. Her silence meant she agreed—I could tell.
But still... I looked at the three women facing me. What the hell was going to happen next?

The conversation wrapped up. Kim Seol-bi and Kang A-jin stayed in the parlor to talk more. Probably hashing out detailed plans against Park Hyun-jun and the mechanics of sorcery. Having cleared that major hurdle, I was starving beyond endurance.
As I headed to the kitchen, footsteps followed. Glancing back, I saw Kim Eun-bi trailing me.
"You hungry too?"
"Kinda... but mostly I just wanna be with you, oppa."
"Alright."
Being alone felt a bit heavy, but with her there, it'd be better.
Without me asking, Kim Eun-bi deftly pulled out side dishes, boiled soup, and set the table.
"Thanks."
She sat across from me. As I shoveled food in, she stared at my face.
The gaze didn't bother me. Filling this gnawing hunger came first.
"Oppa."
"Yeah?"
"You wanna have sex with me too?"
"Pfft!"
I spat out a mouthful of rice. Luckily, only a few grains made it past my lips. I quickly wiped them up with a wet wipe from the table.
Pretending nothing happened, I kept eating, but she asked again.
"Do you wanna fuck me?"
I had no choice but to meet her eyes. She was cute. Undeniably so. If you didn't find Kim Eun-bi adorable, your standards for female beauty were fundamentally broken. And here she was, eyes sparkling, asking if I wanted to fuck her. She seemed a little anxious too.
I answered honestly.
"Yeah."
"Eek!"
Kim Eun-bi let out a delighted squeal.
"For real?"
"Yeah. Obviously."
"Even after I did all that crazy stuff...? You don't hate me?"
"Not at all. Shit happens. You weren't in your right mind."
"Well, yeah, but..."
"You're cute. Wanting to fuck a girl as cute as you? That's just being a man."
"Hmph."
I panicked at her pouty face.
"What?"
"I don't care what other guys think. I only care if you wanna fuck me."
Haaa... How did this happiness even find me? I set down my chopsticks and said seriously,
"I wanna fuck you."
"Hehehe."
Grinning ear to ear, she placed a piece of bulgogi on my rice bowl.
"Eat up."
"You okay with it?"
"With what?"
"Me fucking your sister and Kang A-jin."
"That...?"
Kim Eun-bi shrugged nonchalantly, beyond what I'd expected.
"It's fine. Even if I liked you first, I don't have exclusive rights or anything... Unnie and the others said it too—if there was another way, we'd do that. I'm just glad you don't hate me. Right, oppa? You don't hate me?"
"Yeah."
I replied with a warm feeling.
"It's not just that I don't hate you. I like you."
"Hehehe."
Despite everything, Kim Eun-bi was basically polite and clever. I'd sensed it from the first time I saw her at the Dungeon Management Office. Before meeting Kim Seol-bi, she was the prettiest female hunter I'd laid eyes on. If Kim Seol-bi hadn't shown up and Kim Eun-bi had confessed first, I'd have said yes in a heartbeat.
After eating, she brought two cups of coffee—both sweet lattes. I usually had Americano after meals, but whatever, it was fine.
We sat side by side watching a movie. The parlor talk between Kim Seol-bi and Kang A-jin was dragging on. Women needed a lot of conversation to really open up and bond. Whatever they discussed, I hoped they'd emerge closer.
Mid-movie, food coma hit and I dozed off a bit. Then Kim Seol-bi and Kang A-jin emerged from the parlor, faces serious, and sat in the living room with us. Kim Eun-bi quickly killed the TV with the remote.
"If Sung-gi is okay with it..."
Kim Seol-bi began.
"We decided no one monopolizes you. It's the only way for all of us to be happy. With Park Hyun-jun and everything... it's my fault that happened, but... to keep you safe, uniting our strength seems best."
"If you three are fine with it, so am I."
It was a bit shameless, but that was my answer. No matter how I thought about it, there was no other way. This wasn't something reason or conscience could override. It was my skill Unreasonable Favor—it had seduced Kim Seol-bi and Kim Eun-bi, and even broken Kang A-jin. I was under its influence too.
If I couldn't refuse, I'd accept. Just thinking that eased my mind immensely.
"Eun-bi, what do you think?"
"I'm for it too."
And with that, it was settled. A lion's den meeting. I'd worried what might happen with four of us together, but thankfully, nothing bad went down. We'd reached the best possible outcome. Was it Kang A-jin's tact? Or should I thank Kim Seol-bi and Kim Eun-bi's open hearts?
"The order will be Seol-bi first, then Eun-bi, then me."
"Huh?"
I blinked at Kang A-jin's out-of-nowhere declaration.
"Sex order. With talismans, I can set up a barrier, but it only lasts 20 minutes per use. And about three times a week max. I'll keep researching stronger ones."
"Ah, okay..."
What could I even say? Best to stay quiet.
"I only have one talisman ready now. So tonight, sleep with Seol-bi."
So that's what took their parlor chat so long.
"Eun-bi, you okay with that?"
"Yeah. So when do I get my turn?"
"I'll make more as fast as I can. I want to share your bed ASAP too, Sung-gi."
