Chapter Title: The Way Home
-----------------------------------------------------------------
After escaping the shrine, we headed toward the forest's edge where the tunnel serving as the exit had appeared.
Luckily, nothing major happened along the way. The trip home was going surprisingly smoothly.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
Although the Shadow Moth and Ebony Cockroach still hadn't located the tunnel exit yet, we knew it had spawned on the outskirts of the forest, so we kept pushing forward along the boundary until we hit the barbed wire fence. If we followed the perimeter long enough, we'd eventually stumble upon it.
Occasionally, monsters lunging for the divine idols or forest beasts would attack, but none were strong enough to threaten us now. We cut them down on sight.
"Ju-ha! Finish this one off too! I've already smashed its limbs!"
"Oppa, hold on a sec!! Just wait a bit! Ugh!! This bastard won't die!! Hyaah!! Die already!! You filthy pig!!"
As you can see, I handed off the killing blows on these hunted beasts almost entirely to the Lee Ju-ha and Lee Eun-ha sisters.
In my case, along with Eun-ji, Hee-sun Noona, and Ha-rin, these small fry no longer gave us any EXP. The other slaves were all stuck at level 15 too, so unless it was a field boss, no one was leveling up. Since we had to kill these enemies anyway, it was most efficient to grow the still low-level sisters.
"Haa... haa... This thing looks just like a pig, doesn't it, oppa?"
"Yeah. I saw the Chinese guys roasting and eating these pig-like beasts... Should we try it?"
"Aigoo, who'd have time to drain the blood and butcher it? We don't even have time to go home. Nah."
"True enough. Just feels like a waste."
"Aigoo, don't waste your pity on trash like this. And this meat's too tough to eat anyway."
"Fair point. Probably gamey as hell too."
The forest beasts definitely didn't smell appetizing. Eating them might stave off hunger a bit, but they'd probably give us food poisoning for sure.
"And look at South Joseon—food everywhere, from what I can see."
"Can't argue there. As long as it hasn't expired too badly, it's all edible."
*Slurp... gulp... Uh, let's get moving again... Hmm...?"
Mentioning all that food made Ju-ha swallow hard in anticipation—she was adorable. I patted her head, and she didn't pull away anymore. If anything, she leaned into it more. Was this a North Korean version of Eun-ji? She was getting bolder by the day.
Thankfully, I'd already confirmed she was a virgin ages ago. Just like with Nanase Sora, I'd practically forced her pants off and given her a quick lick. Back then, she glared at me like she wanted to kill me, but now she was itching to get close.
"Hey, but... if you keep petting my head like that..."
"What? Don't like it?"
"N-no, it's not that. Just... what if your hand's greasy or something..."
"It's nice and dry. Want me to sniff your crown and check?"
"N-no! Don't joke like that! Who sniffs a girl's crown? Goodness... ugh... it's hot..."
She fanned herself, all embarrassed for no reason.
Ju-ha had a really appealing personality. She acted all tsundere, pushing away while slyly drawing closer. But if I pushed too hard, she'd pull back and gauge my reaction... She knew just the right push-pull game. The perfect North Korean girl. I wanted to bang her already.
'She's definitely changed since the beginning. We haven't even traveled together that long... but she's already adapting to me and starting to open up her heart, bit by bit...'
Ju-ha seemed eager to adjust to me since she was stuck following anyway. Her younger sister Eun-ha was still sulking, barely saying a word over not getting to go home, but Ju-ha had fully accepted her situation.
Maybe because she was just turning twenty, she had way better judgment and adaptability than the more naive Eun-ha.
'Plus, after I straight-up threatened to fuck her and make her mine... she's coming on stronger, striking up conversations...'
I'd boldly declared a few times, like a real alpha, "I'm gonna fuck you and make you my woman." At first, she called me shameless and disgusting, but now she seemed desensitized—or maybe even pleased. Probably thought it meant she was hot shit if I was eyeing her.
And she was right. Tough, pretty face, good class—no reason to let her go. She was talent I needed to keep till the end.
'Women love regular compliments too. Makes 'em feel good and plants the seed...'
I'd kept telling her how pretty she was, petting her head, slipping her chocolate bars—she was halfway hooked.
Hell, maybe the chocolate alone did it. She had a huge appetite. Seeing a girl who eats like that all skin and bones from starvation made me want to spoil her more.
'And she's seen how I take care of Eun-ji, Ha-rin, even Hee-sun Noona. Probably wants in on that. She gets that being a sex slave beats regular slave treatment.'
I was rough with regular slaves, but my girls? I babied them. Food showed up, they ate first—or got extras.
Tents were strictly for my women too. While others huddled under blankets, we chilled in tents, safe from cold, bugs repelled—no contest.
Ju-ha had rested in the tent a few times and now wouldn't leave it during breaks. Way cozier than curling up on the ground. Recovery was night and day.
'Ju-ha's probably more sold on the visible food and tents than me personally. North Korea sounds totally fucked—barely anyone surviving... One chocolate bar and she's moved. Says it all.'
Seeing other women flirt with me probably boosted her ego too, thinking she'd be my girl.
'Templar Rin from the good god faction and Hotaru's girlfriend Ray the seeker both made moves on me...'
Obviously, ugly gal Ray was a hard pass—her face alone killed the vibe. No way she'd join my harem. And watching Hotaru wilt more as she showed interest? Kinda pathetic.
Hotaru wasn't some rando—he was polite to me, understood Korean decently, useful asset. Can't say the same for savage-looking Rin with her queen bee vibe... Fucking slut.
Unlike the gal, decent-looking Rin was out on personality. Word was she'd already fucked Hakubo and Gen silly, orgy parties with good god faction guys—dick-obsessed whore.
Queen bee type, devouring every otaku virgin in sight. Hakubo and Gen always glanced my way nervously when Rin approached, scared I'd touch their queen.
She milked it to flaunt her popularity... To me, it just looked like a slut and her simp stands twitching.
'If I was desperate with no girls, sure, whore or not—but virgins are overflowing. No need to touch the otakus' shared queen... Random pickups cause STDs.'
So Rin was off-limits for my slave harem. Unless Indicron wanted to feed her to Hakubo and Gen in despair, I wasn't touching. Even then, I'd tell the mart guys to gangbang her instead.
'Hakubo and Gen are useful. Hate to waste 'em. Indicron knows it too—hasn't demanded them.'
She knew why Kashnax left those five good god players alive. All had solid classes, grown perfectly for their concepts.
'Indicron avoids orders that'd directly weaken my forces.'
She's holding back on despair-dipping them. Her way of being considerate, I guess.
'Well, Samurai Hiiro's on the menu for despair feeding...'
Nanase Sora had been trying skinship more lately. Earlier, she awkwardly asked in broken Korean if I was hurt or how my body felt, getting all chummy. Then she'd fuss over my body, blushing, pressing close to brush off grass from my butt or legs. Hiiro ground his teeth, calming himself each time.
'And Hitomi...'
Hitomi's dating heretic inquisitor Hayato. They've probably banged plenty. Besides, unless it's top-tier beauty, my dick stays soft no matter what. Glasses Hitomi? Nah. Better leave her to fuck Hayato nonstop.
Anyway, back on track—Ju-ha was getting bold with me. But Eun-ha was still pouting. Time to tease her out of it.
"Hey, Eun-ha. How long you gonna sulk? Help your sister hunt already."
"Tch... Don't order me around! I don't listen to you evil South Joseon bastards!"
"Keep rebelling like that, and I'll leave you in this forest alone."
"T-that's... kinda scary..."
"Scary, huh? Mr. Crybaby who bawls alone, what's with the tough act? Listen to oppa and say 'Yes~' when I tell you something."
"No!! I don't bawl! What do you take me for!!"
"A pussy. And look at Ju-ha—how sweet, obedient, chill personality. You're the little sis; copy half of that."
I went up to sulky Eun-ha first, ruffling her hair to mess with her. She whined no-no while I did, but knew it was play—her lips twitched up. She forced a frown, but it was obvious. She craved the attention, throwing fake tantrums.
Practically a kid. Twenty years old, acts like a brat. Fine by me—keeps the harem personalities varied, never boring.
"Yoooou... you jerk! Always comparing! Take this, bleh!!"
"Hey! Get over here!! Now! That's an order!"
"Eek!! Can't even run anymore!? You bastard!! Don't use commands anytime!! That's cheating!!"
"You're the cheater sulking forever! You need discipline! Come here! One flick on the forehead!"
"Eek!! Sis!! This South Joseon jerk keeps hitting me!!"
"You rascal! Watch it! You'll trip!! And oppa, go easy! Stop messing around...!"
After a round of tag, Eun-ha finally joined Ju-ha in finishing off the downed beasts.
And so, we pressed on through the forest.
