Comfort for the Lady (2)

After the impulsive sex with Senior Hwayoung that had started during dinner came to an end, she was still panting harshly on top of me even though I had finished a while ago.

“Haa… uht… haa… ha…”

She was half-collapsed over the table, her fingers and toes twitching in every direction like a fish flailing on a hook. …Come to think of it, my cock was still buried deep inside her. Since her feet couldn’t reach the floor, getting down on her own must have been incredibly difficult in this position.

“Should I help you?”

“…You… fucking idiot… can’t you see…?”

It was honestly pitiful to watch her squirm on top of me like that, so I slid both hands under her armpits.

“Lifting you up for a second.”

“Nngh…?”

Just like when I had first impaled her on my cock earlier, I lifted her body upward again. Squelch. Squelch.

“Haa… haa… hah… nngh…!”

Her body had grown extremely sensitive after three consecutive rounds of sex. Even just the act of pulling my cock out made her let out a lewd moan. I carried the lifted Hwayoung straight to the ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠bed and gently laid her down on it.

“Get some rest.”

“Haa… haa… ha… nnghuht…”

Even when left alone, she kept lifting her hips in weak orgasms. At this point, it was safe to say we were completely done for the day. Considering how she had been exhausted after just one round during her first time, lasting through three rounds was a huge improvement. Even if I had done all the moving for every single climax.

One of those three rounds had even been anal, and she had experienced all sorts of new things today, so it was only natural she’d be worn out. Leaving Senior, who was lying on the bed savoring the afterglow of her climax, I returned to the dining table and finished the meal I had left unfinished.

Using the heat magic I had perfectly mastered through Senior’s body just moments ago, I sent thin strands of mana rapidly permeating into the object, then triggered a combustion reaction. The heat generated by the burning mana quickly turned the slice of pizza in my hand into a steaming hot one.

“Ooh…”

This time, I could somehow sense that the inside had been thoroughly warmed without even needing to cut it open. The moment I took a big bite, I was certain it had been a perfect success.

“Mmm.”

It was the first time the inside had been properly cooked all the way through, so the satisfaction was immense. Pineapple really does taste best when it’s warm.

“Senior, look at this. I managed to heat the inside properly this time.”

“…Shut… up… what… ngh… are you… talking about…”

Even though it was a rare moment of success for her disciple, Senior Hwayoung didn’t seem interested in offering any praise. I didn’t pay much attention to her reaction and simply shoved the last piece of Hawaiian pizza into my mouth. It was a deeply satisfying meal in more ways than one.

After learning a new way to manipulate mana, tasting the perfectly heated pineapple pizza, and cleaning up the dining table to some extent, Senior slowly sat up on the bed.

“…I’m going to wash up.”

It seemed the aftereffects of the continuous orgasms had finally subsided. She rose from the bed, though her legs were still slightly trembling.

“Can you move properly now?”

“Yeah… I’m a little tired, but it’s manageable.”

“If it’s hard for you to wash yourself, I could wash you instead…”

“Shut up. You think I’d let you take care of my body in the bathroom too? You beast.”

I never imagined I’d hear the word “beast” come out of a woman’s mouth in this world too. It really drove home just how roughly I had fucked her today.

…I should probably reduce the number of rounds next time.

“Then at least let me wash your back…”

Bang!

The bathroom door slammed shut with a loud noise, leaving me half-naked and alone in the room. With nothing particular to do by myself, I started by cleaning up the mess from our earlier activities.

Especially the clothes. Since she had to wear the same outfit she came in when she left, I needed to start laundry today. Of course, I had a few spare outfits that Sihui had given me inside my subspace pocket, so I wasn’t completely without clothes to change into except for underwear. But if I took those out and showed them, she might misunderstand and think I had planned to sleep over from the beginning.

…Which, to be honest, wasn’t that far from the truth.

Besides, there was another reason for washing all the clothes I had and drying them at night. If I hung up everything from outerwear to underwear, there would be nothing left for me to wear while sleeping. And there was no better excuse than that to spend the night naked and pressed against her in bed.

Even if I held back on sex out of consideration for her condition, I refused to compromise on sleeping naked together. Somehow, ending the day like that made me faintly feel like I had truly made her my woman.

While entertaining such pleasant thoughts and stuffing the sweat- and semen-soaked clothes and bedding into the washing machine, Esila spoke to me inside my head for the first time in a while.

“Oh.”

A deep sense of joy welled up in my chest at the message from Sihui, which had been a long time coming. It had been nearly a month since the three of us—including Eunbyeol—had gone on that slightly late summer vacation. Seeing her finally send a message after being quiet for so long, I could roughly guess how busy she must have been.

“It’s fine. I’ll check it myself.”

When I opened the group chat with her, a fairly long message from Sihui was waiting.

A dungeon date, huh? Not bad at all. We had talked about going on a shared dungeon date during our last vacation. It was the perfect excuse to see Do Sihui after so long, so the moment I read the KakaoTalk message, I sat down at the table and replied.

Come to think of it, I still hadn’t told Sihui that I had been promoted to B-class. I had wanted to surprise her in person, but since it would affect our date plans, I decided to let her know in advance this time.

She must not have expected me to have been promoted. Even after the “1” next to the message disappeared, her reply didn’t come for quite a long time.

When ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠I messaged her again, thinking maybe becoming a B-class Hunter was somehow a bad thing, a calm reply from the blonde lady came back shortly after.

Another long silence followed. What was going on? Had I unconsciously said something that made Sihui uncomfortable? The conversation kept cutting off, which started to frustrate me, so I decided to call her directly through voice chat.

After a few rings, a familiar voice came from the other side of the smartphone.

The blonde lady’s voice, which I hadn’t heard in a while, still carried that adorable tone.

“It’s nice to hear your voice after so long, Sihui.”

“But you know, something feels a little off.”

“Why does it feel like the conversation in the chat keeps cutting off? The ‘read’ marks disappear right away, though.”

“You’re not trying to use the excuse that you’re still overseas and replies are slow, are you?”

If that were the case, there would have been a delay in this voice call too, so I would have noticed immediately. After a brief silence, Sihui’s voice returned, sounding a little cautious.

“Nothing?”

“You had so much on your mind that your replies kept getting delayed?”

…Her reaction felt strangely off. It seemed like she would keep giving similar answers if I let this continue, so I decided to use shock therapy to draw out her true feelings.

“I was really looking forward to seeing you after so long the moment I got your message, but your reaction is so lukewarm. Maybe I was the only one getting excited?”

“Then why do you keep delaying your messages so much? Hm?”

“What?”

Do Sihui’s rather cheeky remark after not seeing each other for a long time only made me more curious.

“You’ve even learned how to talk back to me while we were apart?”

“I was genuinely happy when I heard you got promoted to A-class. But you’re saying you’re not that happy that I got promoted to B-class?”

“You are happy, but…?”

Just as her strangely lukewarm reactions continued, a third party’s voice suddenly burst out from the other side of the receiver, as if they couldn’t hold back any longer.

Eunbyeol’s voice, which sounded like she had finally given in and interrupted, was immediately followed by Do Sihui’s desperate attempt to stop her.

…I didn’t expect her maid to still be with her at this hour.
