Man Hunters (6): The Picked-Up Bitch
"Maaasteeeeer♡ Woof! Woof! Master! Pant! Pant!"
"Ah! I remember now!"
Park Eunji's eyes lost all reason the moment she saw me. She came crawling on all fours and started licking my cheek. What the hell is with this bitch? Mom seemed to have some inkling.
"It's Park Bark!"
"Woof! That's right, Hea-e! You remembered! Woof! I missed you so much!"
"Oh my, oh my. It's been ages. Have you been well? Paw!"
"Woof!"
Park Eunji placed her cute little fist on Mom's palm. What the hell was going on here?
"Don't you remember, Hoyoung? Oh, right, you have amnesia, so of course not. This is the dog you picked up."
"Woof woof! Yes, that's right! I was a department store employee, but Hoyoung said I looked like Park Bark because of my big build and took me home!"
Hmm. That didn't really sound like "picking up" a stray. Normally, when you think of picking up a dog, you imagine finding an abandoned pup shivering in a cardboard box on a snowy day in a back alley and bringing it home—becoming its savior from a pitiful, homeless fate. But a department store employee? That's just a regular person living a normal life. Taking her would be straight-up kidnapping.
"Woof woof! Ever since Master picked me up that day, I've been so happy! Woof woof!"
Well, if she saw it that way herself, no problem then.
"I miss her~ Seeing Park Bark after so long reminds me of the house we used to live in."
"Woof woof! Oh! Did you move, Hea-e?"
"Yeah~ To Pangchang-dong. Paw!"
"Woof woof!"
Mom petted her head like a good pet and praised her. Unreal. I'd braced for a showdown with the leader of the Man Hunters.
"Sis!! What the hell are you doing?! I came to ask you to train these guys for me!"
"Idiot... still don't get it? I was pulling aggro just to get some attention from my lost Master♡"
Park Eunji sneered at her clueless comrade. She mounted my knee and started grinding away on her own, enjoying her lewd act. Ah, this... I think I saw on a pet training show that it's a bad habit.
"What crazy bullshit! Then all that talk about building a society where women dominate men—what was that?!"
"Of course♡ Ahh♡ Feels so good rubbing my pussy on Master's knee! I figured if I acted all arrogant like that, Master would train me properly. Master hates cheeky girls like me...♡"
"So from the start... it was all a lie?"
"Obviously. How could we women ever beat Master? The moment we're born with pussies, it's total defeat☆ right?"
"Urgh...! Guess I got played too. I was just going along with your plan for fun until now... but now I'll build a true female supremacist nation on my own!"
As Yoo Chaeyoung tried to head back to the elevator, Park Eunji pulled a remote from her pocket and pressed a button. Pink gas sprayed out inside the elevator.
"What the fuck are you babbling about, you bitch... Don't get in the way of my reunion with Master."
"What is this?! Cough cough! Poison gas?!"
"He wouldn't make something that vicious. That 'scientist shaman' girl didn't, anyway."
"Cough! Cough! Urgh...! Huh? Mmm...♡ Fuck...♡ What is this... mmm...♡"
Yoo Chaeyoung's coughs gradually turned into lewd moans. Instead of pressing the button for the first floor, the would-be empress of women started groping her own tits.
"It's a lewd gas made from extracting Hoyoung's semen♡ By the way, the aphrodisiac pills are refined semen too♡ That's why women go crazy for it."
"Ah. So that's why Kim Jiwon..."
Now it made sense why my scent-fetish little sister fell so hard for the aphrodisiac.
"So you went on TV and pulled all that aggro just to get my attention?"
"Yes♡ And Master came back to me. Woof woof! MasterMasterMaster! Pant pant!"
"Look at that tongue sticking out. Isn't she cute, Hoyoung?"
"Pant! Pant!"
Mom praised her, so she proudly stuck her tongue out even longer.
"Jeez. I've heard dogs will do anything to get their owner's attention, but..."
"Pant! Pant!"
Dogs are animals where hierarchy is everything. Being abandoned by the alpha means death. So they'll shamelessly do any crazy thing to stay in their owner's sight—the ultimate attention-seekers.
"Woof woof! Woof woof!"
A 180cm woman crawling on the floor, shaking her ass and begging for attention. It was like watching a red-light district hooker desperately trying to get picked. Well... cuter than that, maybe. Usually "puppy-like woman" means a small, dainty type, but a big breed like this wasn't bad either.
"No coming inside the house. But the yard... I guess I'll keep you."
"Woof!! Woof woof!!!"
Our family gained a new member. Isia and Bianca built a doghouse big enough for a large breed, and Park Eunji got her nest. Dogs cost money to keep, but in my case, I was charging her rent instead. Apparently, she made a killing selling aphrodisiacs. Anyway, the Man Hunter uproar that shook Paradise City came to a quiet end like this.
#Epilogue 1: Animal Abuse
"Grrrr...!!"
A common issue in homes with pet dogs is family members who don't get along with the dog.
"Ah, what the... she's back again? I already ditched her. Sigh."
"Grrrrr!!!!"
In the yard, Kim Jiwon and Park Eunji were in a standoff. Jiwon crossed her arms, glaring down at the pet dog with a venomous villainess expression.
"I heard that the aphrodisiac that bitch Kwak Yuri tried to use on me last time was your handiwork too? Making drugs from Oppa’s semen? No wonder it felt so damn good. Of course I wouldn't get turned on by anything but Oppa."
"Grrrr!!!"
"Keep barking, you bitch dog. Heh. Try standing up to a human."
With her mean streak kicking in, Jiwon poured gasoline over the food in the dog bowl and ran off.
"With all these rivals already, my chances with Oppa are slim enough without a pet dog taking up space! If you're pissed, fuck off!"
"Grr..."
Jiwon had always hated dogs, and after being tormented by the aphrodisiac, there was no way she'd welcome Park Eunji. She couldn't openly defy Oppa's declaration to "keep her," but bullying her when he wasn't around was easy enough.
"...Sigh. Jiwon dear~"
"Grr... Jeonghui."
"You held back well, Park Bark. Anyway, Jiwon is Hoyoung's blood sister, so we have to treat her with some respect."
"I know... grr. Just being back home makes me happy enough."
Seo Jeonghui, the original owner of Kim Hoyoung's mansion. Divorced and kicked out for being "boring," she now lived in a tent in the yard. She quickly bonded with Park Eunji, sharing the same outdoor space.
"I'll sneak you the food I hid in my tent."
"Woof woof! Thank you, Jeonghui!"
Though scorned by the family, living in the same "house," the two shared a strange chemistry. They both just wanted to stay close to Kim Hoyoung, no matter the humiliation.
#Epilogue 2: The Aphrodisiac Maker
"...Not picking up. Already met Hoyoung, huh? Guess I'm not needed anymore."
Ok Maehyang cut off the endless ringing tone and deleted Park Eunji's contact. The piles of aphrodisiac chunks in the warehouse were all disposed of.
"Who'd want this when they could taste real Kim Hoyoung semen? Just a bit of his essence mixed in."
Ok Maehyang was the one who'd supplied the Man Hunters with the aphrodisiacs. How those two connected and why she did it remained a mystery.
Even the gas sprayed on Yoo Chaeyoung today resembled the stuff Ishtar had used on the Central Continent to train goddesses—dispersed into the air.
"Kim Hoyoung..."
Ok Maehyang spoke to the photo of Kim Hoyoung on her desk. Middle school second year, from a school trip. His shy V-sign and innocent face—purity long gone from the current him.
"Are you enjoying this world? Craving bigger thrills as the old ones fade. When you get bored, just tell me... I'm waiting."
At this point, only Ok Maehyang knew her true goal. Maybe even the Black Stars chairwoman was being played. The woman who knew a past Kim Hoyoung that even he had forgotten was still biding her time.
#Epilogue 3: Those Who Work in the Dark
"Heard you had a rough one, Mari~ Pfft. Should've been more careful, huh?"
"……………."
"From now on, take after this station chief—mature, professional, safe."
Having boasted big then gotten wrecked by the enemy, Mari was getting endlessly teased by Kim Dahyeon lately. Dahyeon had a similar past herself, but tadpoles don't remember frog days.
"...I messed up this time, but I still can't accept your work style, Chief. I'll prove I'm right someday."
"Aw~ Why so strict? Live free~ As long as we protect Hoyoung, who cares if others die? That's Paradise City's vibe, right?"
"Then what's the point of police?!"
"There is!"
Kim Dahyeon inhaled her cigarette, exhaled thick smoke, and spoke like an enlightened sage.
"For Hoyoung to fully enjoy this world, we need a realistic stage. This is his theme park. Think of us as amusement park staff. Protecting national peace? Fuck that. If Hoyoung orders it, I'll shoot live rounds at citizens."
"……."
That emperor-of-heaven vibe oddly resembled the Bianca Mari once followed... but the subject being Kim Hoyoung instead of herself grated on Mari's nerves.
"I get that Kim Hoyoung's amazing, but isn't this blind devotion? We don't need to tie everything to him. We can live our own lives without—"
"Ta-da!"
"Huh? What's that? Tissue?"
Kim Dahyeon held out a tissue, derailing the serious mood. Some random tissue? Throw it away? Power trip?—but Mari couldn't look away.
"Sniff sniff."
She sniffed it unconsciously. A fishy tang piercing her nose. I want to eat it. Lick it. Have it. Drool poured from Mari's mouth.
"Heehee. Pretty intense, right?"
"W-what is this? What the hell is it?!"
"Tissue Hoyoung wiped his dick with."
"...D-dirty."
"Wanna toss it then?"
"Wait!!!"
Mari desperately grabbed the wrist heading for the trash. Dahyeon grinned slyly at her subordinate.
"...Heard you fell for the semen aphrodisiac? So you get the taste now? This tissue's still got tons of cum on it~ Promise not to nag about my majong during work hours, and maybe I'll give it to ya?"
"Th-that...! Slacking off with gambling... th-that's..."
"Hmm? No need? Trash it?"
"………!!!"
In the end, Mari caught Kim Dahyeon's carefree attitude like the other cops. Whenever Mari tried nagging, Dahyeon stuffed Kim Hoyoung's underwear in her mouth. Mari would get lost sucking on it, forgetting to complain. Soon, she was a typical Paradise City cop: showing up, flipping through panties, masturbating for 8 hours straight, then heading home. Kim Dahyeon happily enjoyed her sports betting in peace.
