What is a Superior Male?
What is a Superior Male?
The Adventurer's Guild. A gathering place for adventurers who have nothing but strength.
But in a world where that strength is everything, the status of an adventurer was immense.
A profession akin to a hero, dealing with monsters that threaten people or solving troublesome requests.
True to that high standing, the advantage of being an adventurer is that the pay is nothing to sneeze at.
"That's what you learned well from the textbook, right?"
Yuna, speaking with the knowledge of a teacher for the first time in a while, squeezed Seong-jin's hand tightly.
Seong-jin was now calmed down and walking side-by-side, holding Yuna's hand.
"Hmm... Was that in there?"
"Geez, Omma is your homeroom teacher, you know!♡"
Yuna made a stern yet sexy expression and gave Seong-jin's head a light kong tap.
It was the first time in a long while she had truly acted like an Omma.
"Ouch!"
"If you're weak in martial prowess, shouldn't you at least have knowledge? Knowledge is power, too~"
"Cough... Omma, were you that good at studying?"
"I didn't get this Knight Training Academy teacher position for free, you know~♡"
The sight of Yuna and Seong-jin walking hand-in-hand looked just like that of lovers.
The gazes of envy, the gazes of jealousy—all of it made Seong-jin feel a sense of superiority.
"Adeul, you haven't forgotten the purpose of our trip, have you? You're not just thinking about touching Omma's body all the time, are you~?"
"Of course not! I'll receive your Power-Sharing Magic, knock that bastard Kang-min down a peg, and then strongly assert my ownership of Omma!"
"Hehe...♡ But tell me, how much power do you want to receive?"
Seong-jin had never thought about that before. How much power did he want to receive...
Naturally, the stronger he got, the better.
But how much power would be the best amount? It was a simple yet difficult question.
"Hmm... enough to beat that bastard Kang-min to a pulp..."
"Uheung~♡ Is that really so?"
"U..uh? What do you mean 'is that really so'?"
It was a non-obvious answer to an obvious statement.
"Fights are decided by the tiniest difference in skill, you know? The moment you clash, who was 0.1 seconds faster, who had the strength of an extra meal... things like that."
"So?"
"It means the gap between Kang-min and me isn't as big as you think~♡ If you're not careful, even if you beat Kang-min, while you're away, I could be defeated by Kang-min and get ravished. That. Is. What. I. Mean?♡"
"That doesn't matter because I'll always be with you, Omma!"
Yuna showed a lovely, moist-eyed smile at his bold and cute exclamation.
"Ufufu...♡ Would that really work?"
While they were deep in conversation, the Adventurer's Guild stood tall before them.
More luxurious and beautifully designed than the surrounding buildings, it symbolized the status of adventurers.
"Hmm... I wonder if it'll be okay~"
"Why are you worrying, Omma?"
"About our Adeul. This place is close to the capital, so there might be people who recognize Omma!♡"
"So what if they do..."
"It means some... very♡ strong person might target Omma."
That was definitely a problem. If someone extremely strong targeted Omma... but how strong could that person be? Omma was the great Knight Commander who had no equal even in the Royal Capital.
"You don't have to worry! Omma is stronger than anyone... so stop teasing me!"
"Yes~ yes~♡ Adeul-nim♡ Well then, shall we go in?"
Yuna opened the door to the Adventurer's Guild.
The atmosphere inside felt like a higher-level place, different from the Knight Training Academy.
It was filled with people wearing flashy, showy armor, acting as if they were heroes themselves.
Everyone was busy talking to receptionists or chatting, but as soon as Yuna entered the space, everyone's attention focused on her for a moment.
But soon, everyone turned their heads away. It was a strange phenomenon. To think they wouldn't make passes or harass Omma, but just turn their heads away... Seong-jin felt a great sense of awkwardness in this strange air.
"Hmm... It doesn't feel as dangerous as Omma said?"
"Fufu... Is that really so?"
Yuna threw another meaningful question.
"The men here aren't desperate. They have pride and self-esteem as strong males. They have no doubts about themselves."
"I... I also pride myself on being strong!"
Seong-jin said, stumbling over his words.
"Heheung~♡ Good females follow strong males. That's why they aren't desperate~"
It was true. But wasn't that the same for Seong-jin?
"Then I'm strong too!"
Yuna gave a motherly smile, as if embracing his immature, youthful confidence.
"But~ Seong-jin, you're obsessed with Omma, aren't you?♡ Always clinging, jealous... aren't you a 'cull.ed.male' who even gets excited by that?"
Seong-jin was speechless. It was a fact he hated to admit, but it was too true.
"Well~ even so, the one I like and love the most is Seong-jin! Being born as the Adeul of an Omma like me can also be considered a skill."
"That's right! That's right!"
Seong-jin immediately agreed.
"Then, shall we take a request?"
Yuna and Seong-jin approached the receptionist.
It was a middle-aged male receptionist with a tired expression, as if he had been suffering from malicious complaints from rough adventurers.
"Ah~ right. A request? Or is this another case where you lost the loot from a monster extermination and want me to process it as a success?"
Yuna caught his eye as he spoke dryly, his gaze fixed on a pile of documents.
"Ooh! Welcome! How can I help you? I'm also great at helping with night work!"
Suddenly, life returned to his face, and he became energetic.
His gaze, which had been fixed on the boring pile of documents, was now fixed on her cleavage...
"Uheung~ Are there any good requests?♡"
"If it's good requests, there are plenty~ For example, this sex slave recruitment notice... Ah, don't let the looks fool you, the pay is pretty good?"
There was no such request. He just wanted to ravish Yuna.
"Ufufu♡ How bold~ That's nice too, but since I'm here with my lover today, aren't there any other requests?♡"
The receptionist's gaze shifted to Seong-jin, who was next to Yuna.
It seemed he had just noticed his existence.
"Hmm~ He's a scrawny man to be a lover... There are many much better men here than a guy like this. For example, someone like me!"
Yuna seemed to be getting bored.
"Shut up and give us a request, okay?♡ My lover here is a better man to me than anyone else in the world?♡"
Yuna said, wedging Seong-jin's arm between her breasts.
The receptionist flinched at the sudden pressure, then quickly came to his senses and rummaged through the pile of documents.
"Ah... ah~ of course..! Then how about this goblin extermination request..."
Goblins. Monsters that use human females as tools for reproduction.
Monsters that kill men without mercy but capture women to use as a Flesh Toilet.
In particular, they cause a lot of damage to civilian homes, so they are the top priority for subjugation.
"You've seen that in a textbook, right?♡"
Yuna said with a cute, smug expression.
"Y..yeah.. I've seen it."
Even though he didn't remember.
"Great♡ If it's goblins, the pay must be top-tier. We'll take that~"
"Very well. However..."
The receptionist scanned Yuna's body as if licking her with his tongue.
"You must know. Goblins... the higher the grade, or rather, the higher-class the female, the more intensely they go into heat."
He looked like he was feigning concern, but in his head, he seemed to be imagining Yuna surrounded by goblins, covered in yellow semen, and pregnant with a goblin's child.
"Fufu... No need to worry♡ My lover here will protect me."
The receptionist clicked his tongue as if he had heard something ridiculous.
"Well, choosing a request is free. You might hear news of yourself through bad rumors, though... for example, a top-class female ravished by goblins..."
Judging by the way the receptionist blushed and gave a lecherous smile, he seemed to be in the middle of a lewd fantasy.
Yuna lightly ignored him and took Seong-jin's hand.
"Well then, shall we go?♡"
"Yeah! I'll protect you!!"
Just as they were about to walk out of the Adventurer's Guild heroically.
"By any chance... Knight Commander-nim Yuna?"
A tall, handsome man spoke to Yuna.
Yuna's eyes widened, and she looked genuinely surprised.
"Tae-min... is that you? Why are you here..."
"It really is the Knight Commander-nim! This is truly a pleasure."
He grabbed Yuna's hand and shook it.
It also looked a little... like he was stroking it.
"I was really surprised when you suddenly disappeared. You are the person I respect most, after all."
"Ah~ is that so?♡ I'm sorry. But Tae-min, you know best, don't you? What the reason is."
Yuna replied with an expression as if she were ruminating on longing.
It was not a pleasant expression for Seong-jin.
"Anyway, now that we've met like this, please return to the Royal Capital. I will escort you."
From earlier, Tae-min acted as if Seong-jin didn't exist and spoke passionately only to Yuna.
"Heung~♡ I'm sorry, but I can't do that. I'm happy with my lover right now."
At Yuna's words, Tae-min's gaze shifted to Seong-jin.
The expression of having seen something he shouldn't have been openly displayed on his face.
"Y..yes. Omma is happy with me... so there's no need to go back."
"Omma? Did you say... Omma? Then this kid is..."
Yuna cut his words off sharply.
"That's right~♡ He's my Adeul."
"..I see. Understood."
He said with a stiff expression, as if he couldn't accept it.
"But if you change your mind, please talk to me anytime. I am currently dispatched to this city..."
"Yeah♡ That won't happen, though?♡"
Yuna turned around without hesitation and hugged Seong-jin.
"Well then~ shall we go defeat the goblins~ Protect me well so Omma doesn't get ravished♡"
"Of course!"
The backs of the two people walking out of the Adventurer's Guild looked incredibly affectionate.
