Chapter Title: Contraception Magic
-----------------------------------------------------------------
“Contraception magic?”
“Yes...”
>
Han Min-ah had pulled Cha Yu-ri outside the restaurant to avoid the gazes of their other party members.
She was cautiously making a shameful request that was hard to voice easily to the mage from Sky Blue Shield, given the nature of the matter.
>
“Asking for contraception magic means you had sex recently, right?”
“Yes, that's correct...”
“Yesterday? Or even earlier?”
“Yesterday...”
“Good, that's a relief.”
“Pardon?”
“This spell won't work if it's not used within a week.”
>
Cha Yu-ri's response was as good as saying she'd cast it without hesitation. Han Min-ah felt a wave of relief in her heart, truly grateful she'd mustered the courage to bring it up despite her embarrassment.
>
“Let's move to a different spot first.”
“Thank you, Yu-ri unnie...”
>
Cha Yu-ri and Han Min-ah relocated to a private lounge reserved for A-Rank hunters and above. Before casting the contraception magic, they exchanged a few more words.
>
“You're a beast-type awakener, right?”
“Yes. More precisely, it's Wild Power.”
“I've heard beast-type awakeners have heat cycles. Do you too?”
“...Yes.”
“Was yesterday's rest day not due to a cold or something, but related to that?”
>
At Cha Yu-ri's sharp insight, Han Min-ah fell silent and nodded.
>
“Heat cycles must be tough.”
“Please keep it secret from the others, unnie. It's a bit embarrassing...”
“Sure.”
>
Cha Yu-ri's curt responses might seem cold at first glance, but Han Min-ah knew it was just her poor expressiveness—she wasn't truly cold-hearted.
On the contrary, she felt grateful for the casual consideration hidden in those brief exchanges.
>
“Who was it? You didn't just pounce on some random guy, did you?”
“Ah, someone I know.”
“Just someone you know?”
“Someone I used to like... and still do, not much has changed.”
“How'd it go?”
>
Beast-type awakeners' heat cycles often wrecked human relationships, so Cha Yu-ri's concern was understandable. Han Min-ah knew the intent behind the question and gave a reassuring reply.
>
“He told me to contact him if I can't hold back during the next heat cycle too...”
>
Even as chaos swirled around him, Han Min-ah wanted to sort out her feelings for Sung Tae-kyung somehow.
But just recalling that ecstatic moment of sex made her face flush naturally. That reaction alone drew a faint smile from Cha Yu-ri.
>
“Sounds like it went well.”
“Y-Yeah, I guess...”
“Sex matters with someone you love, but also with someone who loves you. A woman feels happy knowing the man sharing her body loves her.”
“......”
“S-Sorry, that was overstepping.”
“No, Yu-ri unnie. That was good advice.”
>
Though Cha Yu-ri didn't mention any names or specifics, Han Min-ah could easily guess her feelings toward Sung Tae-kyung from those words alone.
The usually reserved woman was blushing and deeply engaged in the topic.
Having already known about Cha Yu-ri and Sung Tae-kyung's relationship, Han Min-ah quickly realized the "love interest" she spoke of was the same man she'd shared her body with yesterday.
>
‘Yu-ri unnie really likes him too...’
>
Two hunters in the same party genuinely liking one man.
...No, maybe three, including herself.
She planned to keep Sung Tae-kyung's secret for now, thanks to their final promise. But how he planned to navigate this mess was beyond her grasp.
His intent to join the company showed he wasn't running away but facing it head-on. Still, convincing Cha Yu-ri or Kang Hye-eun would be the real challenge.
>
Back in hunter training high school.
Han Min-ah had witnessed up close how Kang Hye-eun turned the entire school upside down upon learning her childhood friend was being treated like public property while she was away on external activities.
The bullying Sung Tae-kyung endured ended completely within three days of Hye-eun returning. Unless things went perfectly, Han Min-ah doubted Hye-eun would hold back her rage this time either.
The difference from back then? High school made him a public toy by external force, not his choice. Now, it was all his voluntary actions.
Whether that would temper their party leader's fury or fan it higher—Han Min-ah couldn't predict.
>
“Min-ah.”
“......”
“Han Min-ah?”
“...Ah, s-sorry!”
>
Lost in thought, Han Min-ah hurriedly responded to Cha Yu-ri's call.
>
“I'll cast the contraception magic, so take off your bottoms.”
“...Just pants?”
“Underwear too.”
“......”
>
Even between women, exposing her privates unilaterally triggered an instinctive aversion in her.
>
“Do I have to take them off?”
“Your clothes will get dirty. Got spare underwear?”
“...No.”
“Hurry up. We've got the afternoon raid.”
“...Yes, sorry.”
>
It was embarrassing, but she'd asked first, and delaying meant pushing back the dungeon entry—which was unacceptable.
Han Min-ah bared her lower body as instructed and stood tensely before Cha Yu-ri.
>
“Spread your legs. Sit like you're half-lying down.”
“...Okay.”
>
She felt disgusted imagining herself receiving contraception magic from another person—enough to understand why some women chose pregnancy instead.
Already embarrassed with her lower half exposed, the position hid nothing with her thighs, making pregnancy seem less shameful by comparison. But she couldn't just add a dependent without a plan.
>
“Might feel a little ticklish.”
“Yes...”
>
Cha Yu-ri's small hand touched her lower abdomen. Mana flowed from her hand into Han Min-ah's body.
With Cha Yu-ri's impassive expression calmly cleansing her womb with wind, Han Min-ah could view this shameful procedure as mere medical treatment.
Had Cha Yu-ri shown even a hint of discomfort or blushed, it would've soured their relationship.
‘But why...’
Why did she feel this strange excitement during the process?
Why was indirectly telling someone else about her sex with Sung Tae-kyung arousing?
>
As those thoughts swirled, a gentle breeze rustled inside her lower abdomen. Soon, the thin white fluid lingering in her womb flowed out through her folds.
>
“Done.”
“...Thank you, Yu-ri unnie.”
“I'll skip the rest. Clean up and come out.”
“Yes...”
“If you can't help it next heat cycle, feel free to ask again.”
“Yes. Thank you, Yu-ri unnie...”
-Click.
>
Han Min-ah took the tissues and wet wipes from Sky Blue Shield's lounge, hurriedly cleaning the traces of the contraception magic.
Grateful to Cha Yu-ri for her consideration in leaving, she quickly dressed and exited the lounge as if nothing had happened.

◇◇◇◆◇◇◇

After replying casually to the twins' piled-up KakaoTalk messages, he immediately found Do Si-hee's number from last time in his contacts.
Three days had passed since their first encounter and hookup, making it a fitting time to uphold their promise of contacting once or twice a week.
...However, as a chaebol heiress from the foundation, she still needed some distance. Instead of a call revealing his number, he used the open chat's voice talk feature.
The lively voice talk ringback tone lasted a few seconds before the haughty chaebol miss's voice from days ago came through.
>
「Is that you?」
“How would I know who 'you' means?”
「Hearing your voice, it must be.」
>
Her voice over the smartphone carried a mix of tension and sulkiness.
>
「Why contact so late?! Shouldn't you message the day after at least? Isn't that basic etiquette?!」
“I've been busy too.”
「And what's with open chat voice talk! Still don't want to give me your number?!」
“As long as we have a way to contact, it's fine.”
「Even after sharing bodies, at least a phone number...!」
“Then stop if you don't like it.”
>
Do Si-hee's sharp tone cut off abruptly as the call connected.
>
“I bothered contacting you since I thought of it. You seem to have a lot of complaints.”
「S-Sorry. I-It wasn't meant as a complaint against you at all.」
“Let's not make this a hassle. You get that, right?”
「……」
“I'm just contacting you because fulfilling your twisted desires is fun. Don't pry into my private life beyond that.”
「O-Okay.」
>
He didn't enjoy being cold to Do Si-hee like this, but it was necessary to respect her femsub tastes.
She'd said her kink was being dominated by a stronger male hunter.
He couldn't pinpoint it exactly, but a 'mysterious, suspiciously strong male hunter' would excite her more than a 'lowly orphan hunter.' He'd maintain this dynamic to stoke her imagination for a while.
>
“Anyway, when are you free?”
「P-Pardon...? I-I set the time...?」
“I'll match your schedule. Aren't you, a 'foundation heiress,' busier than some 'guild hunter'?”
「Th-That wasn't what I meant back then...」
“Don't drag it out. When are you free?”
>
After a brief silence, Do Si-hee's reply came through the speaker.
>
「Tomorrow's a holiday.」
“Where and what time?”
「Tomorrow at 3 PM. How about the plaza in front of Apgujeong H Department Store?」
“Yeah. Should've said it clearly from the start.”
>
He lightly praised her for finally being straightforward and wrapped up the call.
>
“Alright, tomorrow 3 PM in front of Apgujeong H Department Store, as you said.”
「O-Okay.」
“Like I said last time, come clean everywhere I might use.”
「Y-Yes!」
>
Hearing her response, he ended the voice talk.
He harbored a vague hope of gathering enough points for Swordsmanship Level 6 by tomorrow's end.
