The razor-sharp obsidian blade crept closer, as if threatening to rip out my nape if I didn't answer immediately.
"W-Wait a sec?! It's just that...!"
"Haa! Haa! Haa!"
Her blue eyes, glowing with mana, trembled uncontrollably as they darted between my lower body and my face.
Every ragged breath she took seemed to disrupt her mana control, making the obsidian blade hovering near my nape quiver dangerously in the air.
What the hell do I even say to excuse this?!
That I'd calmed her tantrum and search for Mama by stuffing my dick in her mouth instead of a pacifier?
The moment Cha Ye-rin heard that, she'd flash a sweet smile and cleanly sever my head.
"Everything you say from now on better be the truth. And watch your word choice carefully—one slip, and your head flies off in an instant."
With her icy warning, Cha Ye-rin brought the honed obsidian right up to my nape.
A chilling aura hit me, like it could tear my throat out any second. I swallowed dryly, and a slight stinging pain pricked my skin where the blade touched.
"Um... well, you see..."
Cha Ye-rin's patience had clearly run out; her eyes demanded I explain what happened to her, fast.
As I stared up blankly at those fierce, chilling blue eyes that sent shivers down my spine, a deafening explosion rocked the president's office, splitting my ears.
KABOOOOM!!!
We both jolted in shock, our gazes snapping toward the source.
The steel wall—thick enough to withstand a missile strike—shattered in an instant, hurtling across the office and smashing into the opposite wall.
Through the gaping hole emerged another magical girl, Purple Rose, her body wreathed in brilliant violet mana.
It was Yoon Se-ah, my next-door neighbor sister.
"Ihyeon! Are you okay?!"
Se-ah Sister stormed into the office and spotted me half-reclined on the sofa. Joy flashed across her face, quickly turning to horror.
Her eyes narrowed murderously at the sharp obsidian pressed against my nape, ready to slice.
The room was sealed tight—no wind should have been possible—yet a whoosh cut through the air, and Sister vanished from sight in a blink.
CRUNCH!
"Huh...?"
Sister reappeared in the blink of an eye, grabbing the obsidian blade at my throat and crushing it to pieces with her bare hand.
Onixia's obsidian could pierce a monster's thick hide, yet she shattered it with raw grip strength. I could only let out a hollow groan at the absurd sight; no other words captured my feelings.
"Cha Ye-rin. What the hell is going on here?"
Her voice chilled me to the bone as it brushed past my ear.
I couldn't believe it came from her—the woman who'd shared such a long history with Se-ah Sister. It dripped with fury.
That killing intent was aimed squarely at Cha Ye-rin, who'd been threatening me.
"Yoon Se-ah. You're the crazy one, unleashing your mana like that without warning."
"I thought it was a defect flare-up, but clearly not. Threatening a civilian in your right mind?"
Mana erupted explosively from Sister's body.
Cha Ye-rin wouldn't back down either. She summoned her own mana right there on the spot.
The two magical girls' power clashed in midair like a tug-of-war.
A bizarre crack echoed from empty space, and an inexplicable pressure crushed my body. I panicked and tried to stop them.
"Wait! Sis! Seal your mana first! Your mana!"
Se-ah Sister was blatantly using mana right now.
If they kept facing off like this, her defect would worsen.
"President! Are you alright?!"
"What's going on? President, calm down first!"
Just then, secretaries, guards, and what looked like Care Supporters rushed toward the hole Sister had made. Cha Ye-rin blocked it off with more obsidian.
At least she had enough reason left to keep bystanders out of it.
It was my fault anyway. I clung to Sister—who'd clearly misunderstood—and yelled.
"Damn it! Sis! Undo your transformation first!"
"But! You saw it! That crazy bitch was about to do... who...?"
Se-ah Sister, losing her cool, shouted at me as I hung on her. Her words trailed off.
Her violet eyes—glowing fiercely even in the dark with infused mana—slowly drifted downward... downward... until they landed on my dick, glistening with Cha Ye-rin's saliva and cum.
"Eek?! Th-Th-Thihyeon...! Ihyeon! Y-You...! Why are your p-pants...!!!"
"Ah..."
She freaked out like some innocent virgin, her face flushing beet red. Her transformation unraveled from the shock.
The mana storm filling the office vanished like a lie.
"Eek! Eeeeek!"
Sister scrambled toward Cha Ye-rin like she'd touched something filthy.
I got that she was shocked, but this level of freakout hurt a little.
"Haaaaah..."
Maybe because of our little farce, Cha Ye-rin let out a long, weary sigh and slowly undid her transformation.
She dissolved the obsidian blocking the entrance. As others tried to barge in, she shouted to stop them.
"Go back! I'll call you once it's sorted. Leave for now!"
"But we heard the president’s defect had flared up..."
Even so, she silently ordered a woman I pegged as a Care Supporter—who was still trying to enter—to turn around.
The secretary and others glanced at the wrecked office, freaked out like they'd seen a forbidden secret, and retreated.
"Eek! Eeek, eeeeng. Ihyeon, Ihyeon's... dick... why is the d-dick... eek, eee..."
Watching Sister tremble and hide behind Cha Ye-rin made the whole situation feel bizarre.
Cha Ye-rin was the one I'd actually done awful things to, but it looked perfectly set up like I'd done something to Sister.
"So?"
"Ah... well, you see..."
Cha Ye-rin's cold prompt to explain snapped me back. I dropped to my knees on the floor and spilled every detail as meticulously as possible, emphasizing how unavoidable it had been.
"......"
"......"
My explanation ended.
The two women stared down at me in frigid silence, like I was some disgusting bug.
"I'm sorry."
Having confessed everything, no other words would come.
"I-I-Ihyeon... Ihyeon did... thaaat..."
Sister looked pale as a ghost, like she'd been shattered by the revelation that the guy she liked was such a beast. She seemed ready to faint any second.
Cha Ye-rin covered her face with both hands, clearly agonizing over what to do.
"Huuuuh..."
A deep, endless sigh poured from Cha Ye-rin, like she was bidding farewell to the world.
"For now... Yoon Se-ah."
"Y-Yes. Yeeeesss..."
Sister had somehow knelt beside me, showing her remorse to Cha Ye-rin.
"You know you have to keep my defect quiet."
"I'd sooner have my mouth torn off than breathe a word. Never! Absolutely never!"
Cha Ye-rin didn't even bother asking me.
She shot me a murderous glare instead—a silent promise to rip my nape off personally if I slipped.
"S-Sorry. I felt mana from beyond the wall and worried Ihyeon might be in trouble... eeeeng..."
Sister sniffled and even apologized for smashing the steel wall.
Cha Ye-rin said compensation was fine and admitted her own loss of control was her fault too. Their mutual apologies created a warm, reconciliatory vibe.
"Eeeeng... Thank you. By the way, Cha Ye-rin, you have a similar defect to mine, huh? Getting over it just from clinging to another guy."
"Pardon? No way. If anything, mine's more complex..."
"R-Really? Sorry for assuming. It ended so quick, I thought that was the trigger to fix the defect."
"Quick?"
At Yoon Se-ah's words, Cha Ye-rin checked the time, puzzled.
"Huh...? Wait, is the clock broken?"
She double- and triple-checked, unable to believe it.
I snuck a peek too. About 30 minutes had passed since her defect flared up.
Sister had flown here in that time—had she crossed the city with magic? I worried.
I'll grill her later.
Even in an emergency, constant mana use like this could twist her defect in unknown ways. I resolved to scold her thoroughly.
While I was lost in thought, Cha Ye-rin reeled from a different shock.
30 minutes? Only 30 minutes passed? My defects take at least half a day to resolve, even at best.
Her long-time Care Supporters couldn't shorten it below half a day, no matter their efforts.
The bad ones lasted all day, leaving her endlessly sorry toward them. Calming in just 30 minutes? Impossible.
Her trembling gaze drifted to the half-naked man on his knees.
She desperately fought the urge to glance at his lower body again while her mind screamed that this man held the key to resolving her defect.
What do I do? Entrust my Care to that pervert bastard?
It had ended with oral this time, but who knew what he'd pull next.
No— that horny monkey definitely would.
Her virginity, guarded fiercely through monster fights in her teens and work in her twenties, might vanish to that beast.
But she couldn't beg another Care Supporter for that 'act'—the clue to fixing her defect. Nor did she have a lover to ask.
"......"
Cha Ye-rin clamped her mouth shut in silence. Se-ah Sister and I could only watch nervously.
We awaited her verdict, praying the knife in her hand wouldn't fall on my neck.
