The Uninvited Guest
During my conversation with Chan-woo, an uninvited guest suddenly appeared, clutching a power source and glaring at me with a threatening voice. Come to think of it, the pursuit team from headquarters had been chasing her. So she’s an intruder? The green power source, the second one, should have been locked in a security case in my lab. The fact that she managed to unlock it and take it suggests she’s quite the capable hacker. Not that it matters. That’s not something an ordinary human should be tampering with. I’ll just take it back.
Scratching my head, I leveled the gun at the woman and slowly stepped forward. “D-don’t come any closer!! I’ll eat this!”
“...Huh? Puhaha...” I couldn’t help but laugh at her foolish threat, one she clearly didn’t even understand herself. To put it bluntly, I was curious. This power source had been here since before I joined the institute, and most of the research on it had been conducted by me. I’d reviewed all the data from previous experiments, but there was one research log I couldn’t access even with my clearance. ‘Parasite, human ingestion, research results.’ What could have happened that made them hide it? Couldn’t the power source be damaged no matter what was done to it? Ah, I was curious.
“What’s so funny? Does it look like a joke? I’m really going to eat it...!!”
“Yes, go ahead and eat it.”
“...What?”
If she was volunteering to conduct the experiment herself, I had no reason to refuse. “Do you really have the courage to eat that? You don’t look like it. Here, if you hand it over now, I’ll resolve this through conversation.”
I deliberately provoked the woman holding the fruit, pressing forward with threatening movements. Aiming the gun at her head, I quickened my pace. She backed away with each step I took.
“...I don’t care anymore!!”
Finally, she took a bite of the fruit.
————————————
“Hey, wait...!”
Damn it, I couldn’t move. I pulled with all my strength at the vines binding my legs. But with no strength in my arms, the vines only grew taut. While I was locked in a tug-of-war with the ground, the woman had gone ahead and eaten the fruit.
“...So, how about that?! If you come any closer, I’ll really eat it all?!”
The woman was still holding the fruit, trying to threaten us. The doctor lowered his gun and stared at her, while my eyes remained fixed on the fruit.
“W-what are you looking at?! You think I’m lying? ...Huh?”
The woman flinched. The light that had been shining from the fruit in her hand gradually faded. Panicked, she turned it over in her hands, but no matter how she looked at it now, it was just an apple.
“...Hmm...” The doctor stood with his arms crossed, letting out a low hum as if deep in thought, his brow furrowed. He continued to scrutinize the woman with those unsettling eyes.
“...I’ve changed my mind, Chan-woo. I’m sorry I couldn’t give you the fruit, but since I told you the location of the others, let’s call it even. Hahaha, I’ll be taking this woman with me.”
“What?! I told you not to come closer?!”
Perhaps realizing the fruit no longer held any value, the woman tossed it to the ground and pulled out the dropped stun gun, aiming it at the doctor. “Hey, do you really think anyone’s going to take that hit for you?”
“Ugh?! Ah...”
The doctor snorted and, without hesitation, raised his gun and fired something at her. The woman’s legs gradually gave out, and soon her eyes closed as she collapsed with a thud.
“Hahaha, I didn’t expect this. I’m getting quite the excellent research specimen. Thank you, Chan-woo. Let’s meet again.”
With those words, he hoisted the woman over his shoulder and approached Number 4, whom I had bound with vines. “Shit! Shit!”
Cursing, I tried to pull myself free. The vines began to move. Strength was returning to my body. Please, just a little faster...!
“Min-jeong, wake up now.”
The doctor rubbed the back of his own neck with cotton, then took out a large capsule-shaped syringe and injected it into the disinfected area. “There, done... Now, ‘reboot.’”
“...User authentication confirmed. Rebooting. Greetings, Dr. Jeong A-un.”
“Haha, you move well. Sorry to ask right after you wake up, but could you carry this woman for me?”
To make matters worse, Number 4, who had been bound by the vines, started moving again. Damn it, I was so close to breaking free...! Number 4 tore off the vines binding her and lifted the woman the doctor had been carrying. The doctor rolled his now-lightened shoulders and cracked his neck before turning to me with a greeting.
“Well then, I’ll be on my way...”
“...Doctor?!”
“Ugh?!”
It happened in an instant. Number 4, who had been looking up at something while the doctor was casually greeting me, charged at him. The doctor was sent flying from the impact, and Number 4 dropped the woman she was carrying. In the spot where they had been standing, something fell from the sky and smashed the ground.
“Ah, fuck, was this tree your doing? Took me forever to get in...”
The woman yanked out the long nail embedded in the ground. Her mouth was covered by a hastily worn mask, but it wasn’t hard to recognize who she was.
“If you come near me now, I’ll kill you painlessly.”
It was Seo-hee. Droplets fell from her nails. When they hit the asphalt, it sizzled and melted.
“...So you’re the poisonous specimen?!”
The doctor clapped his hands as if he understood, laughing. Number 4 stepped in front of him. “...And who the hell are you?”
“...My top priority is protecting the doctor.”
“...You’re the same as Na-bi, huh? Just a tool being used by humans. Pathetic... Calling something like you kin.”
A battle of wills began between Seo-hee and Number 4.
“Stop, Min-jeong.”
“...Yes, understood, Doctor.”
At his short command, Number 4 immediately retreated. Whatever he was thinking, the doctor passed Number 4 and addressed Seo-hee. “...Do you intend to fight us?”
“...What if I do?”
The doctor removed his glasses at Seo-hee’s reply. “I suppose I have no choice. I’ll give up on that woman. Chan-woo’s restraints will be released soon, and if that happens, it’ll be difficult for Min-jeong to handle both of you alone... I do have that much sense.”
“...”
Seo-hee glanced at me, and I shook my head. It was true that the restraints would be released soon. But she seemed too exhausted. There was no blue light. She couldn’t create any more vines. Even if she could fight, she lacked the stamina. Fighting in this state would clearly favor Number 4 with her superior regeneration. After confirming my intent, Seo-hee retracted her nails.
“...Fine. I don’t like unnecessary fights either.”
“You’re surprisingly reasonable.”
The doctor smiled and turned away, with Number 4 following. “See you next time!”
His cheerful voice echoed through the forest shimmering with blue energy. He had already disappeared into the dark woods, but that unpleasant voice lingered.
“...Ugh!”
The vines loosened. Having unconsciously tensed my body, I collapsed as they were pulled out. “...You okay?”
“...No, I feel like I’m gonna die.”
Seo-hee approached and looked down at me. I answered without even trying to get up. “...Take care of Su-a. She’s in the bus over there...”
“Ah, right. What about her? Is she hurt badly?”
“So it was you who called her... She’s worse off than me. Bring her here quickly...”
Seo-hee walked off to fetch Su-a while I barely managed to sit up, sighing as I looked at the fallen woman and the rolling fruit. It was undeniably just a normal apple now. What the hell had happened? Could an ordinary person even eat that?
“Aah, I don’t know... It hurts like hell...”
I leaned against a vine that had sprouted from the ground. I couldn’t take another step. Every single muscle was screaming, and my joints felt like they’d snapped... And above all, I had no energy left. There wasn’t an ounce of strength in my body.
“...I guess this is what happens when you pull something like that...”
I looked around at the dense forest I had created. What kind of broken power was this? It even felt like this wasn’t everything. As I leaned back to rest, Seo-hee returned supporting the battered Su-a.
“I brought her. Now what?”
“Wait a moment...”
Su-a looked worse than me. Her bones were broken, her body covered in scratches, with blood pouring from the worst wounds. Burn marks dotted her skin. When I removed the helmet she was wearing, her eyes were closed in sleep.
“...Hoo...”
“...Mm...”
I held her chin and kissed her, slipping my tongue in to pass my saliva. After a brief kiss, I pulled away and laid her back down.
“Aigoo, fuck... I really can’t move now...”
“...What did you do?”
“...Well, this is supposed to help her heal faster.”
Seo-hee looked down at me with a surprised expression. Had I done something wrong...? “...Ah, in my current state, what else could I do? I don’t even have the strength to get it up, so I just kissed her.”
“...No one said anything.”
With that, Seo-hee lifted Su-a onto her back. “Help me? Or can you walk on your own?”
“...Help me.”
She smirked and supported me. Pointing at the fallen woman, I said, “Ah, we need to take her too.”
“...You want me to carry three people by myself?”
“I’m counting on you.”
“Walk by yourself.”
“Ugh?!”
Seo-hee dropped me on the ground, hoisted the woman, and walked off. “...You’re really leaving me behind?”
——————————————
“...”
“Hoo... Khuhuhu...”
After leaving the massive forest, I got into the car. Laying my battered body in the back seat, I stared at the ceiling and laughed. Then I laughed again when I saw Min-jeong gripping the steering wheel.
“...Min-jeong.”
“Yes, please give your command.”
“No, it’s not a command... Hahaha... Back then, if we had fought that specimen, could we have won?”
“...There was a 98% chance of defeat. My regeneration and her poison are a poor match.”
“Right, that makes sense.”
Plus, if Chan-woo had been freed, the fight would have been even more disadvantageous. Today had been truly rewarding.
“Then, Min-jeong.”
“Yes.”
“...What did the director do to you?”
“...What do you mean by ‘do’...?”
“That pervert’s only capable of one thing.”
“...If you’re referring to sexual activity, no such act has occurred yet.”
“...That’s a relief. I wouldn’t want you to be defiled.”
The car stopped at a traffic light. Min-jeong pressed the brake. “...Min-jeong, look at me.”
“Yes, ...Mmph.”
I pressed my lips to hers. After a kiss that felt both long and short, I asked another question. “...How does it feel?”
“...I don’t feel anything in particular. If you desire sexual relief, we can do so at home...”
Watching her explain, I lay back in the back seat again and looked at the ceiling. Then I smiled. The Min-jeong I knew, with her incomplete emotions, no longer existed. She had become even more perfect.
“But I’m still not complete.”
The her I once knew was gone. Now I had this feeling called longing. But it couldn’t be helped. This small pain was nothing. It was a pain for everyone’s sake, and it was enough for me to bear it alone. My brother crying at our mother’s funeral. The pursuit team leader grieving his colleague’s death. The bald team leader desperately shifting blame out of fear of his own failure. And Im Chan-woo, Chan-woo.
“Hahaha.”
Don’t worry. I’ll create a world where no one has to feel that kind of pain.
“...We’ve arrived at the residence. However, you should treat your wounds first... Mmph...”
I stole another kiss from her lips after she parked the car in the lot. This time, Min-jeong naturally entwined her tongue with mine. I removed her suit jacket and tore open the buttons of her shirt, revealing her lewd underwear decorated with various laces, exposing only her nipples.
“...Well, the director’s tastes are...”
“...Doctor, before sexual relief, you should rest first...”
“No, I’m fine.”
Right now, I just wanted to feel her. The skin of this perfect human. I moved her to the back seat and sat her in front of me, continuing to kiss her while pinching her nipples with both hands.
“...Eut!”
Her face flushed slightly. She pressed her legs together, trembling. Fortunately, she seemed to feel pleasure without issue. Though it was better this way.
After finishing the kiss with Min-jeong, I slipped my hand into her pants. Inside her already soaked pants, I touched the hair between her legs. “...Hmm, I think it’d be better to shave this.”
“Yes, understood.”
“Then take off your pants now.”
At my command, she removed her pants in the narrow car. Her panties were immediately revealed, matching the set with her bra. Seeing underwear that failed to protect her private parts and instead emphasized them made my member swell inside my pants.
I unzipped my own pants and pressed my erect penis against her entrance. “...Min-jeong, put it in.”
I gave her an order that wasn’t quite an order. If it had been the original you, you would have done it reluctantly out of embarrassment. But now you...
“Yes, understood. Beginning sexual relief using the female genitalia. Please inform me if any issues arise.”
With a cold expression devoid of emotion, she lowered her hips. My shaft split through her flesh with a thick sound. Blood seeped from where we were joined. Min-jeong, always the model student.
“...Doesn’t it hurt?”
“No, I’m fine. Please enjoy yourself.”
She felt no pain from losing her virginity. Min-jeong wore an expression as if nothing had happened. A strange excitement welled up at her cold tone as I grabbed her large hips and lifted them.
“Eut, Ugh...♡”
Though her expression didn’t change, she occasionally let out hot breaths and moans. “Aah, this feels really good.”
Today was truly a perfect day. It couldn’t be anything else, could it?
