Master's Undressing Seduction! It Was Super Effective! (1)
Master's Undressing Seduction! It Was Super Effective! (1)
Turning the clock back to when Yujin was enjoying drinks with Công.
Someone else was having an equally terrible time—the complete opposite of his.
It was Aika, the all-brawn gorilla.
"Listen. No matter that he is a man, forcing yourself on him is not okay. Rape is absolutely out of the question."
"I told you, that's not it...."
—Droop.
How could she possibly feel good while Seol Hayeon lectured her as though she were a would-be rapist?
Aika hung her head.
Shame and indignation weighed down the back of her head.
'I really didn't do anything... I only tried to take responsibility for getting my disciple worked up....'
"......."
'This gorilla was not reflecting at all, was she?'
Seol Hayeon saw that and intensified her lecture.
Aika's head sank lower and lower.
In the end, taming the gorilla took a full two hours.
"Do you understand? Do not touch him or let him touch you without permission."
"Surely that much is acceptable between master and disciple—"
"Tsk. How many times must I tell you that's sexual harassment?"
"I'm a woman, so if I don't mind...."
"Don't spout lines that belong in 1988 just because you were born in 1988. And that sounds remarkably like something a sex offender would say."
"F-Fine, I understand! I won't touch my disciple without permission, and I won't let him touch me either. I won't force him into d-doing anything lewd! Happy!?"
"Good."
A sincere answer, finally dragged out of her.
Satisfied that her training had succeeded, Seol Hayeon smiled.
Aika grumbled inwardly in indignation, but...
'Tch. She treated me like a pervert... I was only thinking of my disciple. If he wanted it, I was merely going to help him, you know, calm it down.'
She certainly had been planning to do something for her disciple.
But she'd never intended to force him.
She was not some sex-crazed pervert.
I only planned to corner my disciple against a wall and say,
"I'll take responsibility and calm you down. Tell me what you want me to do."
Then she would ask and do whatever he wanted. That was all.
Rape had never crossed her mind. Not even for a moment.
Well, she might have pressured him to answer honestly.
Her disciple was pointlessly wholesome, after all.
Still, that would not count as a threat. It definitely would not be rape.
'But... what would my disciple have asked me to do?'
She had heard boys took care of it by rubbing it themselves.
Would he have asked her to use her hand instead?
Maybe he'd have asked her to do something with her breasts.
Other than that...
Gasp! What if he said he wanted her body itself?
That would cross the line between master and disciple, would it not?
—Flush.
'That was too much even for me... Hmm. But if my disciple begged me to marry him, it wouldn't be entirely out of the question, would it?'
'Right. I had never met a man I liked, and I probably never would. Grabbing whoever I could before it was too late would not be so bad.'
'If my disciple got down on his knees and begged... I'd have to take him as my husband. Provided he loved me endlessly, of course. Mm.'
Aika's imagination ran wild again in no time.
The photoshopped wedding picture from before popped into her head again. She truly was shameless for her age.
Even Seol Hayeon was appalled.
'Living with this lewd woman and still nothing had happened? Yujin, what sort of battle had you been fighting all this time?'
As an added bonus, she suddenly resolved to treat Yujin better.
* * *
After Seol Hayeon left...
Aika eagerly waited for her disciple.
She wanted to tell him what was on her mind.
'My disciple said I turned him on, so I might be the one he liked out of the three. I'd ask who he loved and tell him I'd accept his feelings if that was what he wanted....'
—Bang!
"Maaaster~!!"
"......!!!"
After a short wait, Yujin returned with Công.
His drunken slur was adorable.
Thinking the timing was perfect, Aika prepared to plow into him like an eight-ton hit-and-run truck...
"My disciple. I lo—"
"Master, the prettiest angel in the world! See you tomorrow~!"
—Whoosh.
"A-An angel?"
The hit-and-run never happened.
Thanks to drunken Yujin's divinely inspired dodge.
And while she stood stunned...
Công's eyes gleamed.
"———Ninomiya. Yujin likes you."
—Mumble-mumble.
Her violet eyes rounded in shock.
"......!!!!!!?"
Violet eyes rounded in startlement.
Then Aika grabbed Công by the collar and lifted him up.
So they were eye to eye.
Công's feet dangled in the air.
[Wh-What are you talking about!? Tell me everything. Every detail!!]
"Ahem. From what I heard...."
[Use Telepathy!! What if my disciple hears you!?]
[That lightweight is so drunk he wouldn't understand anything we said anyway.]
[I don't care. Hurry!! What did my disciple say to you?!]
Aika ignored that and kept pressing him.
Though she was being rather rude, Công answered obediently.
Expecting manners from an all-brawn gorilla was a fool's errand.
Công was wise indeed.
[The truth is....]
[M-My disciple really said that? That his master was so cute, pretty, and lovable that he could barely endure each day? That he wanted to marry Master!?]
[He never said anything about marriage.]
[That was obviously what he meant!!]
Aika's hands trembled with joy.
Công's dangling feet shook with them.
But his gaze remained steady.
'The real problem started here.'
[If my disciple liked me, I might even marry him....]
[Hey, stop. Hell lay beyond that point.]
[......?]
'As expected. It would have been a disaster without me.'
Công released a long, alcohol-scented sigh.
He had not even used Future Sight, yet she never deviated from his predictions.
Her sheer predictability frustrated Công.
[Think about it. You only met Yujin a little over a week ago, correct?]
[About ten days. Why?]
[If a woman you'd known for ten days came charging at you demanding marriage, even your existing feelings would cool off.]
[Really!!?]
[They would. If it were me, I would run immediately.]
After first slamming the brakes on her runaway impulse...
Công began gently coaxing the gorilla.
He proceeded very carefully so his friend wouldn't be run over by this eight-ton truck with no brakes.
[Take this sort of thing slowly. Yes. Start with the "talking stage."]
[The t-talking stage...?]
[Yes. Yujin likes you, and you like Yujin too. Don't you?]
[I-I didn't exactly like my disciple or anything.]
[After all that talk about marriage?]
[.......]
[Hear me out. Rather than rushing into a confession....]
Công methodically laid out his plan.
Yujin liked Ninomiya.
Ninomiya liked Yujin too.
But those feelings were only ten days old.
A confession now would only put pressure on both of them.
[Maintain a relationship that was more than friendship but less than romance. Let your feelings for each other grow firmer first.]
In other words, they should remain in the talking stage.
Until their own feelings became more certain.
Until each was certain of how the other felt.
[Võ Chí Công, you were smarter than I thought. I am impressed.]
[It wasn't that I was smart. You were simply an all-brawn goril—]
—Crackle.
[If you spare me, I will give you better information—something that will help you with Yujin.]
[Tell me. Quickly.]
Công's performance didn't end there.
He deliberately provoked her, then pretended he had misspoken and offered useful information.
Aika's wandering attention snapped back to Công.
And then, Công...
[First, do something about your clothes.]
'She needed to dress more modestly for starters. That underwear earlier was bad enough, and now this. Good grief. How shameless.'
He promptly criticized Aika's fashion.
Aika, wearing a white sleeveless dress, tilted her head.
[My disciple said I looked pretty, though?]
[That was because he clearly had love goggles on right now. You'd be living together for several more months. If you wore nothing but outfits like that, wouldn't he grow accustomed to them?]
[What did that mean....]
[I wasn't saying you should stop wearing clothes like that. Vary how much skin you showed.]
Công expounded his philosophy.
Bare skin only made someone go "wow" for a day or two.
If the exposure continued, a person became accustomed to it and stopped reacting.
People were creatures of adaptation.
So some days, she should dress more modestly.
On others, she should suddenly dress boldly. She needed variety.
She should not overuse exposure as a weapon.
[Search for "girlfriend outfits" or "date outfits" online. You would find plenty. Wear those most of the time. Men liked that sort of thing.]
[Hmm... all right. I will look them up.]
[A wise decision!]
After the lengthy persuasion, Công's face brightened.
He figured that simply reducing her usual exposure would keep his friend from being flattened by a hit-and-run.
It would also make Ninomiya herself exercise more restraint.
He relaxed, believing he had eliminated the risk of his friend coughing blood from hypnosis overload.
'Hmm. Exposure was a weapon? So my firepower had been lacking? I just needed more firepower, right?'
———If Công could have read Aika's thoughts, he would have shouted, 'Did you listen to a word I said, you gorilla?'
Unfortunately, he could not read minds.
Besides, he'd already exhausted himself yesterday and today and had no desire to push his ability further.
"Then please put me down. I need to return to Vietnam."
—Whoosh.
"Close the door on your way out~."
"......."
Công merely trudged through the nighttime streets.
He hummed, "Friend, you had better thank me."
* * *
Thus, the next day.
"M-Master. What on earth is that outfit...?"
"Võ Chí Công said men like this sort of thing. What do you think?"
"......."
'That bastard!!?'
Yujin was hit by an eight-ton truck the moment he woke up.
Công would have felt deeply wronged if he had seen it.
No, I told you to show less skin, remember?
That all-brawn gorilla was only doing this because she couldn't break her habit of solving everything with brute force, he would have protested.
'Heh. Look, he could not even speak. I knew I had not used enough force—enough exposure. Boys liked this sort of thing!'
Aika herself was delighted, though.
Yujin jerked his head away from her shameless display.
"You can't, Master!! How could you wear something like that...."
"Why not? I wore it for you to see in the first place."
"Wh-Wh-What do you mean...."
His fluster was a bonus.
'Huh? She had put on a naked apron for me?'
'What was this? Was she seducing me? This had to be seduction, right?'
"I put it on for the occasion, so I'll be disappointed if you don't look."
"I-I have nowhere to look."
"Everything that needs covering is covered, so it's fine. Please look."
She even asked him to look!
My head slowly turned back toward her.
Of course I wanted to see my wife like this.
And then...
—Stare.
"Whoa...."
My mouth fell open in awe.
Good God. Those curves. No, just... wow.
My wife was so sexy and cute I thought I would lose my mind.
I wanted to shout that I loved her right then.
My blatant stare conveyed every one of those thoughts.
Feeling my gaze, Aika smiled faintly...
"Hehe. No matter how hard you stare holes through the fabric, you can't see through it at your level, can you?"
"......!!!? How could I possibly dare...? I'm only looking because you're beautiful, Master. I have no such indecent intentions—"
"If you really want to see underneath...."
—Slip.
"I could take this apron off and show you myself."
".........!!!!!!!?"
———Aika offered something nearly impossible to refuse.
