Chapter Title: The Part-Timer I've Known Since High School Has Delicious Dick?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
'...Did they catch me?'
The thought hit her the instant her phone rang.
As the person who'd just fucked those two senseless during work hours, if they ended up getting fired, she'd have to take some responsibility.
She had no desire to become trash that ate and ghosted.
But unlike Sia's worries, it didn't seem to be an issue on that front.
-Beeeeep!
But that shrill, grating noise couldn't possibly be a phone ringtone.
The two hurriedly grabbed their phones.
Then, with faces half-drained of color, they started making calls somewhere.
'...Disaster alert?'
It couldn't be, since her own phone hadn't rung.
Which meant it was probably something related to Awakeners or Gates.
And likely in some distant region.
Sia drew up the divine power dwelling in her body.
The fatigue that had clung to her like tar from nearly a week of nonstop sex vanished in an instant.
Sia focused on their conversation.
Depending on the location, she was ready to rush there herself.
"Yes, yes. The location is Busan...."
"No. There are no problem Gates reported in the Seoul area."
Busan... even flying straight there would take over an hour.
She had no idea if charging in blindly after hearing the location would help or not.
Just in case there was trouble nearby she could reach quickly, she listened calmly to their talk.
"Understood. For now, we'll send an investigation team to the persistent Gates in the Seoul area."
"No. No sudden Gates reported in Seoul today."
The two frantically made calls while checking data on the desk computer and the tablets they'd brought in.
After about ten minutes, the situation seemed to settle somewhat, and they hung up one by one with relieved sighs.
Seeing Sia staring at them with a serious expression, the two gave awkward smiles.
"...You two worked hard."
That was all Sia could say.
At her words, the two exchanged glances for a moment before bursting into quiet laughter.
"...So, what was that about? Can I ask?"
Yerin glanced at Suyeon.
Suyeon pulled a small card from her inner pocket and handed it to Sia.
"Um... the situation's gotten a bit weird, but since you've registered as an Awakener, Sia, you definitely qualify to hear this."
The three left the purification room and headed to the first-floor lobby.
On the way, Sia got a rough rundown of the situation.
'Lately, monsters have been bursting out of sudden Gates....'
Excluding the irregular sudden Gate that Sia had gotten caught in a month ago, Gates had so far been divided into two types.
One-time Gates and persistent Gates.
The difference was whether conquering the Gate made it vanish completely or stabilize and remain.
Stabilized Gates were relatively safe.
The number and danger level of emerging monsters dropped sharply—or disappeared entirely.
Such places were used like tourist spots or for extreme sports by non-Awakeners.
'I've been to a few back in the day....'
It had been a crystal cave Gate that turned fully into a tourist attraction after the monsters vanished.
Sudden Gates had only rarely pulled people in—no major issues otherwise.
Of course, that was still a problem... but compared to other incidents, the damage was so rare, and most returned safely, so it wasn't treated as a big deal.
The biggest issue with Gates was that failing to conquer them for too long caused their interiors to spill over onto Earth.
Not just monsters, but occasionally terrain and features merged with the existing landscape.
Such places were called fields.
'But if that kind of problem happened in a sudden Gate that's impossible to conquer....'
Now they'd have to worry about monsters pouring out every time a sudden Gate occurred.
"At least there's a way to detect precursors before sudden Gates open, so that's a relief."
"There's something like that?"
"Yeah... using Awakener skills, or pricey detection tech."
If they could pinpoint the location, the damage would plummet.
"But we only get a few hours' warning at best... and there's a chance of errors sometimes."
"That call just now was one of those. A normal Gate mistaken for sudden, so no big deal."
No casualties was good, but with the workload piling up for sure, they let out weary sighs.
Sia couldn't take over their jobs, so instead, she infused them with a hefty dose of divine power.
"Hng...♡"
"Ah...♡"
Her hands on their waists drew erotic moans from the pair.
"Not like that."
A warm energy spread from their lower bodies throughout, washing away fatigue and leaving them feeling much lighter.
"A little service boost so you two can hang in there."
Call it compensation... The two still vividly felt Sia's semen packed deep in their wombs.
"...♡"
"...♡"
That made memories of their recent fuck flood back, their insides growing slick again.
Returning to work now felt like torture.
In the middle of the quiet, empty hallway with no one around, Sia placed hands on their waists and alternated kisses.
-Chut...♡ Chut...♡ Chuup...♡
-Churrup♡ Churp♡ Chuup, chuup♡
The light, chaste kisses soon turned into lewd deep ones, tongues thrusting deep and swapping saliva.
Even with Sia just holding out her tongue, the two hung on her from either side, lapping eagerly.
At first, even their tongues brushing embarrassed them, but after seeing each other's filthy sides, it grew familiar.
The prolonged kisses only stopped when footsteps echoed from down the hall.
A janitor spotted the three, tilted her head curiously, and passed by.
Sia gripped their asses and whispered softly.
"Next time, let's meet on a day off and fuck nice and slow, just us."
"Yes...."
"Sounds good...."
Before leaving the bureau, Sia swapped contacts with the two.
Yerin had another purification scheduled, so she headed back to the workroom.
She apparently helped with office tasks when there were no purifications.
The remaining pair returned to the counter.
"Not every Awakener goes conquering Gates or hunting fields. Plenty just live normal lives. Lots use their abilities like Yerin and join the bureau or companies."
Suyeon emphasized "bureau."
Sia felt a twinge of guilt disappointing her, but she had no plans to join.
"Think I'll freelance for now."
Freelancer.
The term for those unaffiliated with guilds or companies, forming ad-hoc teams to conquer Gates or hunt monsters in fields.
She had no intention of letting her power rot unused.
It didn't suit her temperament after three years rolling as a hero.
But tying herself to an organization didn't appeal either.
Suyeon looked a bit disappointed but quickly schooled her face and continued.
"These documents cover the mandatory annual tasks for Awakeners."
Sia skimmed the handout.
Nothing too grandiose.
Some felt like light community service.
Varied by ability.
Healers tagging along at hospitals or accident sites for treatment was typical.
Extra time beyond the minimum earned minor perks.
Nothing special.
Like getting local specialties for donations, but swapped for volunteer hours.
"Freelancers usually handle cleanup on failed-conquest Gates. Download this Awakener-exclusive app and set your alarms."
Sia followed Suyeon's lead and installed via QR code.
Opening it revealed various boards.
Gate conquests, trades, info swaps, chit-chat—nicely divided.
The human touch surprised her and felt welcoming.
And unlike typical government clunkers, the UI was solid.
Suyeon then briefly covered Gate conquest applications, party matching, fees, tax settlements.
Her eagerness to help was kinda cute, drawing a slight smile from Sia.
Suyeon awkwardly grinned, wondering if she'd come off like some overeager auntie.
Sia reached over the counter, lightly stroking the back of her hand, voice low so others wouldn't hear.
"Smiled 'cause you're too cute. Don't get the wrong idea, sis."
Suyeon flushed again and pressed on with the explanation.
Some matched what Jiyu had told her, so Sia mostly listened but actively asked about curiosities.
Once done, Suyeon looked openly reluctant.
But Sia couldn't just cling to her forever.
"We'll see each other again anyway."
To convince her the earlier promise for a meal was no mere K-empty-word, Sia left the bureau.
The moment she stepped out, she snapped a pic of her ID card and posted it to the group chat.
[Ch ch ch]
[Ch ch ch]
[Ch ch ch]
[So what now?]
[Dunno lol]
[Wanna hit a Gate later? Can pick you up on my day off.]
Jiyu offered, but Sia wasn't keen.
Didn't want to make her busy friend waste time on her account.
[Gonna try solo first. Ping if questions.]
[K]
"But seriously, what now...."
She considered jumping into a Gate conquest right away, but that wasn't feasible.
Barring emergencies, they weren't lightning ragers—you needed time for party matching and personal prep based on the Gate.
"Tank, DPS, heal all good. Notes: returnee, tons of combat exp...."
Whoever set it up had thought it through; no tedious typing—just pick detailed tags for specialties and quirks.
While wandering the bustling streets hoping for party invites, Sia's eyes caught a certain cafe.
The one she'd part-timed at before getting swept into the Gate.
"Oh."
Seemed her body remembered the way on instinct.
After staring at the cafe a bit, she turned and splurged on a roll cake from the pricey bakery she'd normally never afford.
"...Hello."
Sia cracked the door and peeked her head inside.
Unavoidable or not, she'd ghosted her shift out of nowhere, so guilt weighed heavy.
The shop owner inside replied brightly from the back.
"Welcome!"
She tilted her head at awkward-smiling Sia—tight jeans hugging her ass curve, black apron straining over her chest.
"The part-timer I've known since high school has delicious dick?"
"Yeah...♡"
"Want more?"
"Yeah...♡"
