You Think You Can Buy Me with Money!? (3)
You Think You Can Buy Me with Money!? (3)
The bed where I always lay alone now had two people sprawled out on it.
One was of course me, and the remaining one was naturally Scarlet.
Well... it's not really a bed, to be honest.
Just a used mattress I'd snagged for free on Carrot Market.
Anyway, I was leisurely admiring Scarlet's killer body, fresh off our messy romp.
"Um, excuse me..."
"Hm?"
"Those... things I said..."
I could already guess what came next without her finishing.
Forget everything like calling me Master or saying she loved me.
They were just words that slipped out in the heat of the moment... something like that.
I wasn't particularly bummed or hurt.
That's just how adult relationships go, right?
I was consoling myself with that thought, feeling just a tiny bit regretful, when...
"I meant every word."
"...Pardon?"
"I-it was all sincere! Everything I said!"
"Uh... was that your first time?"
"N-no! Well... it's not like there was never anything, but... they all just... wanted to hook up with me once..."
"Ah."
So, everyone she'd been with before was just putting on an act, dazzled by her looks.
That's why she said I was the first.
Because I was the Master she'd been craving.
—Sruk...
"But... why are you suddenly pulling the blanket over yourself...?"
"B-because I'm embarrassed..."
"Hahaha. You've got a surprisingly cute side, huh?"
Without thinking, I started petting Scarlet's head.
Far from getting mad or pulling away, she melted into an ecstatic expression.
"Ahng... Master... I, I have a f-favor to ask..."
"Oh, you mean about working there?"
"No, not that. From now on... could you talk casually to me...?"
"Hmm?"
"N-no Master talks formally to his own bitch, right? I can't live without you now, Master... don't throw me away..."
"Hmm~"
Scarlet burrowed into my arms like she'd never been shy at all... but.
Surprisingly, my mind was a bit complicated.
'What to do...'
Obviously, this wasn't the first time I'd held a woman.
But this was the first time things were heading toward an ongoing relationship.
Back when I was fighting Demonkind, no one knew when death would come—not me, not the women who shared my bed.
'Looks fine to me, Hero. These aren't those times anymore, and the world's not on the brink of destruction.'
'What about that mystery giant Tower and the Rifts spitting out monsters from other dimensions?'
'That's all it is. And... casting aside a woman who wants you this badly isn't very heroic, if you ask me.'
What the hell. Why was this damn Holy Sword spouting nothing but spot-on advice today?
She wasn't scheming something... probably.
Say what you will, Clare was still a Holy Sword.
So... I reached out a hand to Scarlet, who was craving my touch.
"Hngt...! Heh, hehe, you like my ass that much...?"
"My hands are a bit bad with that stuff."
"Nngh... Use it anytime you feel like it, Master♥"
"Hahaha."
Getting called a Hero always weighs a little heavy on the shoulders no matter what, but Master? That's a whole different vibe.
Blood naturally rushing south, you know?
Thanks to that, my hand stroking Scarlet's ass ventured a bit deeper...
"Haang...! Hnggh...!"
But that didn't mean I could forget everything and just indulge.
True human strength comes from bonds with others, but those same bonds are the biggest weakness.
In other words, now that I was tied to Scarlet, I couldn't just flat-out refuse Changseong's scouting offer anymore.
The whole reason Scarlet showed up at my one-room today was to pull me over to their side.
Well... it did lead to this relationship along the way.
'Still kinda reluctant to join up somewhere?'
'Can't deny it. Spent my whole life called a Hero, fighting Demonkind.'
'I get that feeling. But wouldn't it be magnanimous of you, as her Master, to show some leniency?'
'Leniency, huh... Hmm.'
Glancing down, there was Scarlet, gazing up at me desperately.
Still, if I didn't like it, I didn't like it—what to do.
No... less "don't like" and more "too much hassle."
Exterminating monsters or Demonkind? I had total confidence in that.
But it was something you could never get used to.
Something you shouldn't get used to.
That was proof I was a Hero, not a monster—and still human...
I was lost in those thoughts for a moment.
"Um... Master. Mind if I ask what you're thinking?"
"Ah~ Nothing much. Just mulling over that earlier talk... What do you think?"
Now Scarlet's opinion mattered.
She wasn't just acting on orders.
...Honestly, it didn't seem like she was acting at all from start to finish, but whatever.
Scarlet gave a faint smile and planted a kiss on my chest.
"Mwah... Hehe, my thoughts haven't changed."
"Figured as much."
"Mm~ But to elaborate, I think you're like, 'All that stuff is such a hassle.' Am I right?"
"Haha, can't deny it. I've lived that way a long time."
"Then you should definitely come to our side."
"Why?"
"So the hassles go away. I'm the first to approach you, Master, but..."
"Not the last... Got it. Damn, why didn't I think of that."
In short, Scarlet was saying a flood of offers—and handshakes—would come my way.
Maybe threats, depending.
Or even attempts to kill me.
'Hmm, more capable than expected, huh? Your bitch. Of course, no matter what the government or corps try, you and I can handle it no problem.'
'Yeah, sure... Wait. Why are you calling me Master too?'
'Hehe... You're the one who made me like this, not the Goddess. In modern terms, the data you used to train this AI of mine was the problem.'
'Agh...'
My thoughts tipped to one side.
Looks like joining up somewhere is the only way to secure my freedom.
'Tch... Should've ignored that Hekaton mutt back then.'
No, that's not it.
Ignoring that monster would've gotten innocents killed or hurt.
That's something I could never allow.
Ordinary folks just scraping by a day at a time getting swept up in injustice and absurdity.
Even if it cost me my freedom, I'd never regret that day's choice.
I was striking a lone pose along those lines when.
Scarlet, who'd been cuddling in my arms, had climbed onto my waist and was staring down at me.
"Hehe, call it a hunch... but what happens next might differ a lot from what you expect, Master."
"Oh? How so?"
"Mm~ Spoiling it would ruin the fun. How about something more fun instead?"
"More fun...? Oh..."
Scarlet wrapped my body in her premium tits, slowly sliding down.
Destination: naturally, the divine Holy Sword I was born with.
The Holy Sword tucked between my legs since birth sprang out like it was waiting, throbbing eagerly.
"Haa... holy shit... bigger than any dildo... hot and rock-hard..."
"Haha, even an S-Class Hunter masturbates alone?"
"I'm a woman too. Mwah♥"
After kissing the tip, Scarlet fully enveloped my cock with her breasts.
Of course, her tongue sloppily coiled around the peeking glans.
I nodded silently to Scarlet, who shot me a sticky gaze.
"Hehe... Mwah, churup... Hng... Churrup..."

My body went totally limp without me realizing.
Man, been a while—feels amazing...
Government this, corporations that... who gives a shit...
'Well, couldn't go back home in the end...'
Home is where the heart is, I guess.
With that, I put a period on all the worries cluttering my head.
And enjoyed Scarlet to my heart's content until nightfall.
"Haang! Haaang...! Master, Master...! I love you...!"
"Eurgh!"
"Ooohk...♥"
—Shwaaa...
Warm water poured from the showerhead.
The cramped bathroom quickly filled with rising steam.
—Pang! Pang! Pang!

"Ang! Aaang! Mah-ster...! Ahaang...!"
My hips slamming Scarlet against the wall grew even fiercer.
"Haa, haa, ahng...! L-like this...! I can't... serve you...!"
"Hng!"
"Ooohk...♥"
Tangled since morning, we kept going even after sunset, tumbling into the shower.
I'm a Hero, so fine, but... an S-Class Hunter's stamina was way beyond my expectations.
Or maybe Scarlet's pent-up lust was just that insane.
"Grk...!"
"I-in me...! Cum inside, Mah-ster...!"
"Cumming...!"
"U, u...! Nnggh...! Master's irresponsible creampie...! The best...!"
—Splurt, splurt...
The climax hit as intense as the first time.
My legs trembled uncontrollably.
My breaths grew ragged inevitably.
My vision faded to a haze...
After such satisfaction, our lips naturally met.
"Mwah, heup... Hng... Uhng...! Churrup...! You're amazing, Master..."
"Hahaha."
Hearing it from someone else's mouth really drives home how great you are.
Plus, hearing "Master" made my hand press down on Scarlet's head before I knew it.
She knelt before me without resistance.
And what a bitch has to do next is obviously.

"Chub, chub, chub... Heup... Gulp... Chub..."
Cleanup fellatio.
Scarlet looked up at me in bliss, slurping wildly at the cock that had just ravaged her.
Eagerly swallowing the mixed arousal fluid and semen, her tongue didn't stop at the shaft—roaming sides and balls without hesitation.
"Haa... keep this up and I'll need round two."
"Ah, th-that... if Master wants, I..."
"Haha, kidding. Get up. Let's wash."
"Yes, Master♥"
Of course, Scarlet was the one washing me.
She lathered herself up, then rubbed every inch of me with her whole body.
That soft breast sensation gliding on suds... impossible to describe.
"Feels good. Do they teach this at Changseong?"
"Hehe, I learned it specially to serve Master."
"Good girl. Guess I'll keep you around forever."
"R-really...? You'll really keep me forever...?"
"Hm?"
Just a joke, but she took it seriously.
Well... honestly, not entirely a joke.
I'm human too, with flaws like strong possessiveness.
Though not giving in to desires is a Hero's quality.
'You can be honest about your desires this time, Master.'
'Hey, are you really the Holy Sword guiding the Hero?'
'Yes? I'm the Divine Weapon forged by Goddess Pattis with her essence, the Holy Sword Hauteclere.'
'Hah...'
'It's fine now, Master. Others might not see it, but you qualify in my eyes.'
You've devoted and sacrificed for others for 80 years.
Clare added that at the end.
I didn't live those years expecting reward... but hey, sure.
From now on, living a bit more fun and carefree sounds good.
Decision made, I stopped Scarlet mid-service.
"Master...?"
"Yeah. If you wanna stay by my side forever, do it."
"Ah...! Y-yes! Let me serve you forever!"
"Hahaha."
What kind of Hero can't handle one woman?
Even if every woman in the world threw herself at you, staying unfazed—that's a true Hero.
Of course, never ruling out that it could all be an act—that's true Hero material too.
Anyway, we finally stepped out of the bathroom.
I threw on my cleanest clothes and asked Scarlet.
"By the way, didn't expect the chairman to suddenly want to meet. Part of your prediction?"
"Hehe, of course. You don't realize yet... but Master, your very existence is like a nuke."
"Don't think it's that big a deal..."
"It is."
Scarlet was back in her initial outfit by then.
Hm... way more modest than when we met.
Shirt buttons all done up, jacket tightly buttoned...
"Ready, Master?"
"Yeah. Oh, one sec."
I grabbed Clare, now in cat plush form.
Scarlet looked puzzled about the sudden cat toy grab.
"What're you doing? Change already."
"Aw~ Didn't wanna show off here~"
"Master, why the cat plush...? Wh-what, it's changing shape...!"
Look closely, and don't blab anywhere!
Clare rattled off some cringy 13-year-old drama line, transforming flashily.
Into a wristwatch too pricey and luxurious for a neighborhood bum.
"M-Master?"
"I'll explain later. Complicated. Let's go?"
"Ah, yes. S-sure. Wow..."
And so, I hopped into Scarlet's cherry-red sports car.
Passenger seat, FYI. Got a motorbike license, not a driver's.
"Hmm... red cars..."
"Why?"
"They depreciate fast. Black or white's the safest, right?"
"Ah... y-yeah... You've got such a working-class vibe... O-off we go."
"Sure."
Guilty as charged.
Maybe I should get a car myself.
Got money and style now.
