Desire for Excellence as the Top Instructor in the MILF Domain (4)
“..”
There was no reason to hesitate. Even if it was just my attraction to her, the fact that I had no other options left me with no choice but to proceed this way.
“.. First, my MILF Domain.”
Even if I tried to find someone new around me who matched the affection level I had built up so far, it would be difficult to pinpoint one whom the System judged as a “Target” — in other words, the perfect MILF in my taste. More than anything, I knew I would face terrible consequences if I carelessly touched a married woman.
“.. And the dropped Stats..”
Health, stamina, and charm had all fallen. The first quest was simply to get her phone number, and attempting anything more while in this state made no sense at all.
So, in the end, I had no other choice. I had to rely on the affection I had accumulated and try to obtain her phone number.
“Proceeding.”
[System: Starting the affection level-up quest for ‘Han Su-ah’. (Remaining time: 71:59:58)]
This meant I had to resolve everything within three days. Watching the real-time timer tick down, I realized it was my remaining lifeline, and now I had to put everything on the line.
But before that, if it was a quest, the completion conditions should be clear.
And right on cue, the message appeared.
[Completion Conditions]
- Obtain ‘Han Su-ah’s contact information. - Schedule a date with ‘Han Su-ah’.
[Rewards]
- Open the first affection ceiling - Delete penalties - 500p
[Tip]
- ‘Han Su-ah’ is preparing for the unfinished morning exercise. - She has been able to relieve a little of the usual pressure she feels while conversing with you. - Don’t waste time. Approach her honestly.
.. She seems to be giving me attitude now.
“.. Haa..”
I would just go to the park in the morning, right? There was no reason for the tip to be written for no reason.
Following the message’s advice, I changed into casual and comfortable clothes and took the bus. I would need to transfer to the subway once, but since the message didn’t appear again, I assumed everything was fine.
The rumbling subway arrived, and after a short walk I reached the park. The sun had already set and the sky was dark. A few people were out exercising, taking walks, or on dates. The problem was that there were too many people around.
“.. How do I find her here?”
Surely they weren’t telling me to sit here for seventy-two hours? I didn’t have the strength or time for that. For now, I was still a college student.
“.. Then, let’s just follow the running course..”
I walked along the course while glancing at passersby, but I couldn’t find anyone who looked even vaguely like the one I had seen in the morning. That was to be expected — someone with that kind of figure was hard to spot.
“.. Haa..”
Even after walking for so long, I was sweating a lot. When I sat on a bench to catch my breath, someone tapped my shoulder from behind.
“Uh..?”
“Hello?”
The person I had been searching for until just moments ago greeted me with an awkward smile. I immediately stood up and bowed.
“Ah, hello!”
“Ahaha.. We meet again? Out for exercise?”
“Uh.. I, um..”
What was I supposed to say here? That I came for evening exercise? Just passing by? That I left something at school?
My mind went blank from thinking so hard. Just then the message’s advice came back to me.
[Don’t waste time. Approach her honestly.]
.. Yeah, one way or the other.
“I wanted to see you again..”
“Uh, what?!”
“Ah, because we left in such a hurry this morning..! So, um.. I felt really bad about leaving like that..”
“Eh, um..”
Her face had flushed enough that anyone could tell even under the streetlight. The woman who had offered a hand-fan pretended to look around and spoke to me.
“Then, how about we go for a walk?”
Before I knew it, we were taking an evening stroll. The course had become quieter as we walked. After walking in silence for a while, she spoke first.
“You’re Se-hyun, right?”
“Yes, yes!”
“Oh my, hehe.. Don’t be nervous. Are you worried I might eat you up, Aunty?”
Even while giving a seductive laugh, calling herself “Aunty” felt strangely out of place.
“Ah, Aunty..”
“Why~ I am an Aunty..”
While saying so, she adjusted her clothes with a slightly sad expression.
“I have a daughter who is twenty years old.. and I am forty.”
“You don’t look it at all.”
“Eh?”
“Ah, no.. When I first saw you, I thought you were just a bit older than a sister..”
“Oh my, what a compliment for an Aunty?”
She laughed while hiding her good mood.
“Seeing someone say that to a young person, I guess I’m not dead yet~”
“Ah, you’re so beautiful. Really.”
“Stop it~ There are so many young, pretty girls at university — you don’t need to say something like that.”
“No! I, I really.. um, I mean..”
Honestly, I couldn’t think of what to say. Just.. just say it honestly?
“Haa.. I wish my daughter was as sharp as you, Se-hyun. If she goes to a top university and talks like this, her parents would be so happy.”
“Ahaha..”
Eh, no way.
“You said your daughter is retaking the exam?”
“Yeah.. Haa, I wish I had studied properly this time.. I was going to send her to a boarding academy, but she said she’d rather die than go.”
“Um..”
Whatever.
“If you’re okay with it, can I look over her exams for you?”
“You mean Se-hyun?”
“I tutored before I went to the army. I’ve taught at a lot of good universities. Here..”
While saying so, I opened my phone and showed her the photos of me teaching students. I displayed the acceptance letters they sent, the Q&A during class, and the conversations where I managed their mental health.
My intuition was telling me this was the right opportunity.
“.. Hmm..”
After a moment of thought, her eyes sharpened. Until a moment ago we had been having ordinary conversation; now she was speaking as a parent. And the more she did that, the more advantageous it was for me.
The results I had achieved were not false.
“.. Okay. Can I have your number?”
It was done.
“Yes..! Here..”
I took her phone and typed in my number, then handed it back. She immediately called. A vibration came from her pocket, and the number appeared on the screen.
Success.
“You have my number? Well, save it. And.. um, it’s late today, so I’ll go home. Shall we meet tomorrow and talk more? Around six o’clock sound good?”
“Yes!”
“Okay, hehe.. Se-hyun, you’re surprisingly good at sales. Self-promotion like this.”
“Ah.. haha.. It wasn’t really that..”
It wasn’t a lie. I did need tutoring work, but wanting her number right now was far more important. So it was still not a lie.
“Hmm~ You’re a real professional? It would be good if you were good at teaching too.”
“I’m confident in that.”
“Oh my, look at you.”
She laughed and patted my shoulder, and I felt my mental wall crumble.
“Okay, then let’s head in soon. It’s getting late.”
“Ah..”
“Why, are you sad?”
She looked at me while laughing.
“I still have to go in. Aunty has to go to work tomorrow.”
“That’s right. I knew that, of course.”
“Huh~ Really? Aunty seems to be looking at you like you’re sad. Then, see you tomorrow, Se-hyun.”
“Enjoy your walk.”
I watched her back as she completely disappeared from the park, then collapsed onto the bench.
“Wow, this is insane..”
Covering my face with my hands, I splashed my face several times, but I still couldn’t believe it. My phone now had her number. I had even made a date — not a date.
It hadn’t ended with a one-day connection. The perfect woman in my taste had opened the possibility of a deeper relationship.
“Woo-hoo!!”
I shouted as loudly as I could in the empty park, my mind burning with excitement. And then a message appeared above my vision.
[System: Congratulations! You have completed the affection level-up quest!]
[System: All penalties have been deleted.]
{System: You have been awarded 500p as the quest completion reward.]
[System: The ‘Store’ has been opened with your first point acquisition. From now on, you can purchase the necessary items from the store.]
[System: The first affection ceiling for ‘Han Su-ah’ has been released. Current affection level for ‘Han Su-ah’: 40.]
Perfect success.
