The Hero's Obsessive Villains #2
I’ve always been quick on the uptake, especially when it came to reading people. Here are the three key points I’d gathered and summarized about Yu Yeoleum.
First, she was a healthy beauty who loved working out. I’d need to see her naked to be sure, but I was willing to bet her muscles were tighter and more defined than most guys’.
Second, that faint strawberry scent she gave off was probably from some deodorant-type cosmetic. Did she hate her own sweat smell that much? Personally, I thought the sweat of a superpowered high school girl would be pretty popular.
Third. Before firing a beam from her eyes, Yu Yeoleum would flash with a brilliant glow.
Just like right now.
Ziiing—
“Wasn’t your house over there? Why are you coming out of the one next door?”
Yu Yeoleum seemed curious about why I’d emerged from the neighboring house. Well, people live all kinds of lives. Sometimes you just come out of an empty house next door. Right?
I decided to give her a vague answer for now.
“That place is empty. I come and go sometimes when I’m doing my hobby stuff. It’s like a man’s personal space. You’ve heard of a mancave, right? A space just for guys.”
“A space just for guys.”
“Yeah. So could you turn off that glowing thing in your eyes now?”
“What kind of hobby do you do alone in an empty house?”
What? She was even asking that?
In all my life, Yu Yeoleum was the first girl who’d ever bombarded me with so many questions. Was she some kind of question-mark serial killer?
━Ahut, haahut, aaang!
Right then, a strange sound drifted over from somewhere. It was more accurate to call it a bizarre moan.
It was coming from Seo Gaeul in the basement next door.
Fuck! Why now of all times!
“I hear a weird noise.”
As expected of the undisputed top student in the elite F-class, Yu Yeoleum had senses far sharper than a normal person. I wondered if Seo Gaeul had done this on purpose.
What if Yu Yeoleum went into the house next door, opened the basement, and found me keeping Seo Gaeul chained up? She’d definitely pierce my stomach with a heat ray and turn me into a donut version of Namjin.
“Sounds like there’s something next door. A woman’s voice?”
She started peering curiously toward the neighboring house.
A single drop of cold sweat trickled down my back, all the way to the cleft of my ass. This was an absolute crisis.
Maybe Seo Gaeul really had planned this. Maybe she’d let out those moans because she wanted to see me suffer. It was better than her screaming for help, but it was still clearly an act filled with malice.
But Seo Gaeul had underestimated me too much. Did she really think I’d fall for this?
“Actually, I was watching porn. That empty house is where I go to watch dirty videos. I thought I’d turned it off when I left, but I guess the sound was still playing. Since we’re here, wanna come in and watch together?”
“Ah… I don’t think I need to watch it with you.”
Figured.
I quickly grabbed Yu Yeoleum’s hand and pulled her along. Better to get out of here before Seo Gaeul pulled any more weird stunts.
“Then let’s just take a walk nearby.”
Her hand was softer than I expected. I’d thought it would be calloused.
###
Yu Yeoleum and I headed to the park near my house. Calling it a park was generous—it was full of trash and swarming with flies and mosquitoes—but it was the perfect spot to kill some time.
“So, didn’t you say earlier that you had something to apologize to me for?”
“I punched you in the chest. My control was a little off, so it wouldn’t have been weird if you got seriously hurt.”
“Oh, that? It’s fine. Look.”
She lifted the hem of her shirt and showed me her chest. Under the glow of the streetlamp lighting up the park, Yu Yeoleum stared at my bare upper body for a moment, looking slightly flustered, before letting out a small pfft of laughter.
“You’re tougher than you look. Next time I can hit you with a little more sincerity.”
It was the first time I’d seen her smile. She usually had such a cold expression. Of course, her coldness was different from Seo Gaeul’s rude version. Yu Yeoleum felt more like her emotions were blurred—blunt and expressionless. That’s how I remembered her.
Anyway, a high school girl’s smile had a way of stirring a man’s heart like a cool breeze. Even if she was a high school girl who shot lasers from her eyes and had a body as hard as steel, she was still a girl.
My mind, which had been thrown into chaos by Seo Gaeul’s moaning attack, felt like it was being healed by Yu Yeoleum’s smile. Did she secretly have the qualities of a healer?
“Yeoleum, you look really pretty when you smile. You should do it more often.”
“…….”
Yu Yeoleum flinched as if surprised by my words. Then she touched the corner of her mouth with her hand. Maybe she felt embarrassed by the compliment.
“Did I… smile?”
Oh. She wasn’t reacting to the compliment itself—she was shocked that she had smiled at all. Was the fact that she’d smiled really that surprising?
At that moment, Yu Yeoleum stood up from the park bench.
“You really took first place in the last practical exam. I wanted to say I won’t go easy on you next time—but starting with the next practical, you won’t be seeing me at all. I’m being deployed to real combat now.”
“Real combat? Like exploring the Great Labyrinth, bringing back treasures, that kind of thing?”
“No, I’m on the surface side. Have you heard of unregistered Awakened? The ones who aren’t registered with Youngsa High or the Superhuman Management Agency. Most of them are criminals.”
The physical ability gap between an Awakened and a normal person was like the difference between a high schooler and an elementary schooler. That’s why some Awakened used their extraordinary bodies for the wrong things.
“The reason I came to this neighborhood is because I heard that members of the Villainers are active around here. I’m on patrol. There are a lot of empty houses in this area.”
Our neighborhood did have a lot of empty houses. It wasn’t uncommon for homeless people or criminals to use them for all sorts of things.
I didn’t know exactly what these Villainers were up to, but I was sure they weren’t good guys. What if they broke into the ‘house next door’ where I was hiding Seo Gaeul? That would definitely cause trouble.
“What exactly do these Villainers do?”
“It’s an illegal organization formed by a few graduates from the first class of Youngsa High. They’re also the reason Youngsa High stopped teaching Hand-to-Hand Combat as a regular subject.”
Youngsa High was a school for people with superpowers. I’d found it strange that something like sparring was only taught in a special class that cost 400,000 points, but it seemed there was a reason for it. They’d pumped the first-generation students—who had almost no laws or systems regulating Awakened—full of combat knowledge and accidentally created uncontrollable monsters. Something like that.
“Ha Namjin, since you live around here, you should be careful. Most of the Villainers are Grade 3 Awakened with firepower on par with heavy military weapons. You’ve heard of Yama, the one who started the fire at N-Mart, right?”
“I know him well. The guy who melts steel with flames. He still hasn’t been caught. My guess is he probably never will be.”
Yama. The bastard who killed my parents. That son of a bitch.
I swore to myself that I would personally castrate that guy when Yu Yeoleum clenched her fist tightly.
“Bastards like him are hiding all over the world, trying to destroy order and peace. There’s also the Judge who shakes the entire judicial system from its roots. In the end, they’re no different from monsters.”
Ziiing—
Yu Yeoleum’s eyes glowed again. I couldn’t agree or disagree with the statement that Awakened who crossed the line were no different from monsters. I was just a little worried about her.
No matter how amazing an Awakened she was, Yu Yeoleum was still just a high school girl.
“Yeoleum, be careful when you fight criminals.”
“You’re the first person who’s ever worried about me. It’s fine. I’m invincible. And I’m not clearing out criminals alone. I’ll be deployed with Seo Gaeul, so there won’t be any danger.”
Wait a second—
That Seo Gaeul is currently tied up in my basement…
###
“I clearly told you to be back in ten minutes? Even if you had to make the stockings yourself, it should’ve been faster than this.”
When I returned to the basement, Seo Gaeul looked furious.
I had something to say too.
“Hey, because you made those weird noises, things almost got really messed up!”
“Weird noises? I have no idea what you’re talking about. More importantly, the person outside was Yu Yeoleum, wasn’t it? That bitch.”
Name: Seo Gaeul
◈ Held Concepts: Tap to view details ☜
◈ Current State: 《Resentment and Hatred》 — Being rescued by Yu Yeoleum is more repulsive than being kidnapped by a pervert.
It seemed Seo Gaeul hadn’t screamed for help because she hated Yu Yeoleum that much. For me, that was actually fortunate.
“Here, I bought the stockings.”
I spread out the various pairs of stockings I’d picked up at the convenience store in front of her. They were just flimsy bundles of nylon, yet the price was disgustingly high. I was already expecting to live in poverty for the next few days when Seo Gaeul suddenly stretched out her pale foot toward me.
Did she want another taste of the Whip of Love?
“What are you waiting for? You have to put them on for me. My hands are completely taped up by you, so I can’t do anything. Start with the 15 denier ones.”
Since her hands were tied, it made sense that I had to put the stockings on her. When I thought about it, she was right.
“What are you doing? Hurry up and put them on. If you do a good job putting stockings on me, I’ll tell you why I was put on medical leave. I can also give you useful information that’ll help with kidnapping Yu Yeoleum. How about it?”
Seo Gaeul narrowed her eyes slyly.
“Just so you know, I’m not suggesting anything perverted. So if you even think about getting lustful, I won’t tell you anything. I’ll just bite my tongue and die. Got it? I have good senses. I also have the Length concept, so I’m sensitive to anything that gets ‘longer’ in various ways.”
Her gaze and the way her tongue moved were exactly like the snake that hid among the ivy leaves and tempted Adam and Eve. Pure evil.
“You said you’d cherish my ‘body,’ didn’t you? So you wouldn’t get aroused just from putting stockings on me, right?”
Whether it was kidnapping Yu Yeoleum or the stockings, it seemed Seo Gaeul was pouring all her mental energy into figuring out exactly how to screw me over while trapped in this basement. What a wicked bitch.
She definitely knew I had a thing for stockings and small female feet. That’s why she was doing this.
When did I start having that preference? Ever since the day a rain-soaked Seo Gaeul came to my house and took off her stockings!
Could I really keep my sanity while putting stockings on her? If I lost control and clumsily touched her body, my Complete Education plan would go down the drain.
Maybe that was exactly what she was aiming for—seducing me so I’d lose control and attack her. The fact that it wasn’t an obvious seduction, so I had no justification to use the Whip of Love, was truly cunning.
“Or how about you untie my hands so I can put them on myself?”
If I actually untied the tape around her hands because of those words? She would definitely beat the crap out of me and escape. It was a perfect checkmate with no good moves.
I could feel that arrogant confidence in the way Seo Gaeul looked at me. Of course, I wasn’t the kind of guy who’d be swayed by that. Letting a woman lead you around by the nose isn’t manly.
Since things had come to this, there was only one way.
I clenched my fist tightly—
—and slammed it straight into my own balls!
Thud!Thud!Thud!
By temporarily removing my own masculinity through pain and shock, I could forcibly maintain a state of perfect mental clarity! This way, there was no chance of my masculinity getting aroused!
“GUAAAAAAGH!”
My whole body felt like it was twisting from the shock, and foam was practically coming out of my mouth, but the effect was outstanding!
“Now! Do it now!”
“You crazy bastard!”
I had temporarily become a woman due to the extreme pain! I couldn’t miss this opportunity!
Rip—
I quickly tore open the stocking packaging and slowly began sliding the thin nylon bundle onto Seo Gaeul’s pale toes.
“You insane bastard! Psycho! Pervert! Where do you think you’re touching, you son of a bitch!”
The problem was that the temporary feminization caused by the pain seemed incomplete. As I put the stockings on the struggling Seo Gaeul, I felt like I was doing something incredibly wrong.
Still, with superhuman mental strength, I completed the mission!
“Alright, Gaeul. Now tell me why you’re on medical leave. If you’re the only daughter of the Seonam Group, shouldn’t your disappearance be all over the news? And give me information on Yu Yeoleum too!”
“KYAAAAAAAAAAH! AAAAAAAAAAAH!”
