How to Train the Explosive Light Beauty (1)
"Wh-what...?! Wh-why are my clothes...?!"
Rui-lin had clearly fallen asleep in the car while heading to the temporary hideout with Chae-ryeong. Yet somehow, all her clothes had been stripped away, leaving her in nothing but pure white underwear.
"Uuuu..."
She frantically checked her body, worried something might have happened to her, but there wasn't a single wound anywhere. Her skin actually looked smoother than before.
'Did I sleep that well...? I feel incredibly refreshed...'
She had simply caught up on the sleep she'd missed while fleeing, and her body felt all the better for it.
"I-I need something to wear..."
Rui-lin looked around for anything she could throw on, but sighed when she found nothing—not even a single jacket.
"Haaah... Wh-where is Tricker-nim...?"
She wrapped the thin blanket she'd been using around her shoulders and carefully opened the closed door.
- Creaaak—
"Th-this place... it looks like some kind of cocktail bar..."
Stepping outside, she saw a modern interior. A long bar counter, a large sofa, and shelves lined with liquor bottles gave the space the unmistakable atmosphere of a bar.
Rui-lin tiptoed cautiously out of the room.
'Is this the hideout Tricker-nim mentioned...?'
While searching for Chae-ryeong, who had brought her here, she noticed something swaying beyond the sofa—a tail that looked exactly like an animal's.
A sleek black tail with soft fur was gently swishing back and forth in a contented rhythm. Faint sounds accompanied it, as if something were being eaten.
'Why is there a cat here...?'
Drawn by the sight and sound, Rui-lin slowly approached.
"Slurp...♥ Haaam...♥"
As she neared the swaying tail on the sofa, the sounds became unmistakably clear.
'That's not the sound of an animal eating... it sounds like a person...'
It was nothing like an animal feeding. It was clearly a woman's voice, as if she were sucking on something held tightly in her mouth.
When Rui-lin leaned closer out of curiosity, she also caught sight of a muscular man sitting on the opposite sofa, his upper body bare.
'What...? Executor-nim was supposed to have been captured by the heroes...'
At first she mistook the broad-shouldered man for Executor, but his neatly trimmed hair and healthy complexion were nothing like the pale, seaweed-haired man she remembered.
Worried the stranger might notice her, Rui-lin crouched low and crawled on her knees toward the sofa, trying to stay hidden.
"Nyaaah...♥ Slurp...♥"
The woman's voice grew even more seductive and intense.
'What?! What is this?! What's going on...?! Don't tell me... that voice is...?'
Given the half-naked man and the woman's suggestive moans, it was obvious they were engaged in something sexual.
Even from her careful angle, she could only clearly see the man's figure and the swaying cat tail. She couldn't tell who the man was, or who was performing the act with him.
- Thud—!
While trying to peek from behind the sofa in an awkward position, Rui-lin lost her balance and fell with a loud thud.
'Ow ow ow...!'
She hadn't been seen by the couple on the other sofa, but the sound had definitely been heard. Panicking, she pulled the blanket over her head and curled up tightly behind the sofa to hide.
"Nyaa...? What was that sound...?"
'Have I been caught...?! W-wait... that voice...'
The woman's voice sounded strangely familiar, making Rui-lin duck her head even lower in anxiety.
- Step... step...
"Nyaa...? Why is there a pile of blankets here...?"
The moment her suspicion turned to certainty, the voice beyond the blanket was unmistakably Chae-ryeong's—Tricker's.
"Aha...♥"
- Whoosh—!
Chae-ryeong flashed a devilish smile, as if she'd figured out exactly what the blanket pile was, and yanked it away in one swift motion.
"Kyaaah...?! T-Tricker-nim...?!"
A sleek black cat tail swayed playfully, paired with perky, fluffy cat ears. She wore cute yet seductive lingerie with a cat-face cutout over the chest and a collar around her neck.
Rui-lin stared in shock, her eyes trembling at the sight of Chae-ryeong in an outfit she would never have even considered wearing before.
"I was serving Master, so I didn't hear you come out."
"Wh-what happened to you...?! Wh-why are you dressed like that...?!"
Chae-ryeong had looked completely normal when they'd gotten in the car earlier. Now her appearance and behavior had changed so drastically that Rui-lin stammered even more than usual.
"What's going on, Chae-ryeong?"
"Nyaa? Looks like Rui-lin woke up. She was secretly watching me serve Master!"
When Si-yoon approached after hearing their conversation, Chae-ryeong purred and rubbed her face affectionately against his chest, her tail swaying.
"N-no way... Tricker-nim would never...!"
Chae-ryeong had always been one of the Four Knights of the Dark Knights—an elegant, charismatic leader who commanded respect from her subordinates. Seeing her reduced to an obedient cat-girl, Rui-lin could only recoil in horror.
'Is Tricker-nim being controlled by that man...? Does that mean I'll end up like her too...? Is that why my clothes were taken off...?!'
Realizing why she'd woken up half-naked, Rui-lin was overwhelmed by the urge to flee immediately.
"Kyaaaaah!!"
While Chae-ryeong was still nestled in Si-yoon's arms, Rui-lin spotted the front door and bolted toward it.
"Uwaaah?!"
"Hey now. Where do you think you're going?"
But Rui-lin had already been branded by Si-yoon. The moment she tried to escape, his body-control command forced her to collapse on the spot.
"M-my body... it's moving on its own...?!"
Her limbs refused to obey her will, as if something else had taken control. Chae-ryeong approached the stunned girl with a gentle smile.
"How does it feel...? This is the power of our new leader... and future Master."
"N-new leader...? What are you talking about...?! The Dark Knights follow Kaiser as our leader...!"
Chae-ryeong's sudden transformation and her casual reference to a complete stranger as both "new leader" and "Master" left Rui-lin desperate to refute her, but panic and her naturally timid nature left her tongue-tied.
She hadn't eaten in days, and even after a good sleep her energy was too low to activate her "Bombification" ability or muster any real will to fight.
"When I first met Master, I was just as confused and tried to resist... But after receiving his overwhelming love, I realized deep in my heart that he is the true leader and my rightful Master♥"
Chae-ryeong hugged the trembling Rui-lin tightly, confessing that she too had once resisted Si-yoon.
"You don't need to be afraid...♥ Nyaaah...♥"
She licked Rui-lin's face with her rough cat tongue, gently cleaning away the sweat.
But Rui-lin barely heard her. All she could focus on was the sound of approaching footsteps from the unfamiliar, terrifying man.
"Rui-lin... are you Chinese?"
Si-yoon asked the question with a completely relaxed, gentle expression.
Rui-lin was so overwhelmed by fear that she couldn't even speak, her body shaking violently.
"Answer."
"Uwaaah... Aaaah...?! I-I'm Korean... of Chinese descent...!"
Her mouth moved against her will under his body-control command, blurting out the truth.
"I see... Your name sounded foreign, but your Korean is so natural."
Of course, unless she was in a highly energized state with her gloves off and feeling the urge to destroy, Rui-lin would stammer and struggle with both Chinese and Korean alike.
"Well, the details can wait. It doesn't matter right now..."
Si-yoon gently caressed Rui-lin's cheek.
"Hong Rui-lin... You're going to become my female too."
