Chapter Title: You Had a Husband? (1)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Ra-im Hunter. Spend just one night with me."
"……."
"Then I'll clear up all those curiosities for you, nice and thoroughly."
This bastard?
No wonder he said he'd take my side.
It wasn't about taking my side at all. He was planning to royally screw me over.
I closed my eyes for a moment and swallowed my anger.
I'd felt this man's power ravaging my body multiple times before.
As frustrating as it was, he was someone I couldn't handle.
I had to admit it now.
I knew it.
I knew, but…….
Crackle—!!
My skill reacted to the wretched feeling.
Sparks instantly danced between strands of my hair.
Fuck.
Even so, this was too much, wasn't it?
Sexual harassment like this?
He was basically saying, "Let me hit it once."
Am I some whore who spreads her legs on command?
Save that trash talk for the women by your side.
"This guy's a total sleaze. If you don't wanna tell me, just say no. Why drag it out and scratch at my nerves like this?"
"No, that's not it. My secrets are basically my weaknesses. If you want to learn my weaknesses, shouldn't you offer up one of your own in return?"
"……."
A chill ran down my spine at the ominous premonition.
Sleep with him one night, and now he wants to grab my weakness too?
What kind of weakness could he snag from a night in bed?
The only thing that came to mind was that video.
The lewd footage being spread online by someone with the username TimeStop.
No matter how I thought about it, this guy was clearly the one behind it.
Ya Hye-jeong Hunter's unnatural silence.
The woman who took a full thrust from Eropp.
The background identical to Shirobara Ryo's office.
And now, the sudden full view of that Japanese maid cafe.
Every single one could only have been filmed by this man.
He'd planned to use his little sister Jeong Ji-su's wormhole for an alibi, but that scheme had backfired this time.
'He was late arriving because he was filming that video in Japan. Because of that, my leg got severed, and I had to writhe in that horrific agony for so long.'
Considering all that, Jeong Ji-ham would definitely try to film us having sex.
Then he'd threaten to leak it online if I exposed his weakness.
"I'm not forcing you. Pass if you want."
"……."
I glanced toward Shirobara Ryo.
She was impassively lifting her teacup, expression unchanged.
She ought to be furious at her guild member's outburst, but she showed no sign of stopping him.
"Should I take this as... a proposal from the guild itself?"
Ryo let out a small chuckle at my words.
"Fine. If you accept this proposal, I take back my order to leave. Spend one night with Jeong Ji-ham Hunter, and I won't contact the Shadow Tracker Guild about you. On top of that, I'll mention how Ra-im Hunter took on the villains head-on despite your severe injuries, allowing our guild to safely subdue them."
"Hearing you lay it out like that... just makes me more uneasy."
"Like Jeong Ji-ham said, it's not a demand. You can refuse and go home."
"……Fine. Whatever, let's do it. It's not like it'll wear out."
I decided to hit back boldly now that it had come to this.
Storming out in a rage would only hurt me.
Better to dominate him in bed and make him submit—that would be more effective revenge.
'Now that it's come to this, I need to snag his weakness or I won't have the face to see the Master….'
All I'd done this time was lose a leg, crawl around on the ground, and scream my head off.
I hadn't earned enough merit to claim ownership of the villains.
Going back to the guild chased out like this? I wouldn't be able to face the Guild Master.
"Me too! I wanna do it too!"
At that moment, the villain nestled in Jeong Ji-ham's arms lisped with sparkling eyes.
Something about this villain rubbed me the wrong way. From the unnatural feel of her hair, an instinctive revulsion welled up. Her sharing my name despite being a villain, and getting so pathetically tamed by Jeong Ji-ham—nothing about her sat right.
"Include me too!"
"No. Lime. You don't have a pussy."
What kind of beef was this?
Did he have to bring up that villain's name here?
When someone with the exact same name was right in front of him?
And what did he mean, no pussy?
"Ah! I can make one!"
"……Make one?"
"Here, feel. I made it!"
The villain guided Jeong Ji-ham's hand into her pants.
Everyone's eyes in the room focused on him.
Under that pressure, he ought to balk, but Jeong Ji-ham just slipped his hand inside and started fumbling around.
"Huh? R...real?"
"Ah♡ Th...the way you're touching... it's so naughty…."
It felt like stumbling on some massive crime scene.
This villain was the first daughter born from the villain called Mother.
So she was about 300 years old.
But her small stature and frame made what Jeong Ji-ham was doing look utterly inhumane to me.
"Truth is, I came here 'cause I wanna do it with big bro. Ah…♡ G...glad I came…."
"What're you talking about? Weren't you here for revenge for your sisters?"
"Ah…. If I tell you, you'll let me join? You'll fuck me?"
The villain whined and clung to Jeong Ji-ham.
Goosebumps prickled me again at the sight.
A 300-year-old monster fawning over a much younger man like that….
Whether I took it at face value or analyzed it rationally,
it was equally creepy and disgusting.
"Lime. Sorry, but… you look too young on the outside."
"……Huh?"
"When you grow more, I'll do it then."
"Wait! Then I'll change my appearance!"
Suddenly, the villain's body rippled.
From head to toe.
Even the clothes she wore turned translucent jelly-like all at once.
Startled, Jeong Ji-ham raised both hands,
and the villain swiftly reshaped herself on his lap.
"How's this? I changed!"
My words caught in my throat.
Sitting on his lap was a woman who looked exactly like me.
Golden bob haircut matching my face lines.
Tight black rider suit hugging her body.
Perfect breasts and shapely legs.
Anyone would see it as Ra-im herself.
"Whoa…. What? You can change your appearance?"
"Ah…♡"
Jeong Ji-ham casually grabbed her breast.
I knew it wasn't me. He was just groping a villain mimicking my looks.
But it felt weird. Like I was the one being groped.
"I can change my voice too."
Her childish voice shifted in real time.
Like tweaking a machine's pitch, the villain's voice changed instantly.
"Sure. Whatever, let's do it. It's not like it'll get loose from use…. Huh? Wasn't that the line? Forgot…."
The villain grinned idiotically with my face and voice.
Everyone in the room swallowed hard at the sight.
"Heh heh…. If Jeong Ji-ham Hunter set his mind to it, the world would fall into great chaos. You must diligently cultivate your mind's discipline."
"Reminds me of that doppelganger we subjugated last year. So many hunters lost their lives then…. For an even stronger villain to emerge from the sinkhole…. Jeong Ji-ham Hunter. You did tame her perfectly, right? Ah, I'm not doubting your abilities, Ji-ham. Getting old just makes me worry unnecessarily…."
Park Young-seop of the Gentlemen Guild asked as politely as possible.
His fidgeting to avoid offending Jeong Ji-ham starkly revealed the eat-or-be-eaten reality of the hunter world.
"Of course. No need to worry about that."
Jeong Ji-ham answered while lewdly moving his fingers.
His index finger circling her nipple made my own chest itch for no reason.
Then, Shirobara Ryo, who'd been quietly listening, cut in.
"We'll handle the criminal aspects at the guild level. As Monk Gwanghan said, we'll support your mental cultivation."
"Glad to hear it. Knock on Daehan Guild's door anytime you need help. Ryo and I will do our utmost."
"Our Gentlemen Guild has expertise in such matters too. If you ever need a suit tailored or get curious about the word 'gentleman,' come visit."
Jeong Ji-ham toying with the villain mimicking me.
Guild masters pitching their guilds to him.
Shirobara Ryo watching it all with satisfaction.
This scene was….
Beyond my common sense entirely.

Before fucking Ra-im, we decided to wash up first.
Location: Ryo noona's house.
I'd originally planned a steamy night with Ryo noona, but things went sideways.
"Ah…. So we don't have to worry about the Amazones anymore?"
I continued our interrupted chat while washing with Lime, who was in Miho's form.
"Sisters basically live however they want. Desire is the primary driver for them. Wanna fuck a man. Wanna leave strong offspring. That's the common desire. The rest varies a bit per sister. The eldest, for instance, strongly desires to control and run the whole organization in Mother's place."
Lime clenched her sudsy hands in the air.
"More precisely, she wants to play boss. So she sets the mood, snags good men, distributes them, resolves sisterly squabbles, that sort of thing."
"Isn't that the eldest's job anyway?"
"Eek…. I don't have that urge? I just wanna satisfy my curiosity. When something piques my interest, I gotta check it myself!"
She pointed at me submerged in the tub.
"No man's subdued so many sisters in such a short time before. What kind of power does he have? If my videos go up online, will all those human guys love it? What's that feel like? Get it? When curiosity hits, I can't just sit still!"
"I get the gist…."
"So yeah. As long as the eldest doesn't go 'We'll mass-punish the human who trampled our sisters,' it'll be quiet for about half a year."
"Half a year? Why half a year?"
"Around then, the sixth will give birth and start moving. She's full of jealousy, envy, obsession— she'll hound the youngest to the end. Just knowing the maknae got S-Rank seed will twist her guts. That's the kind of desires we have."
"Hmm…. Got it."
"Don't worry too much. I'm always keeping an eye on the eldest and sixth. If anything happens, I'll let you know!"
What was this now?
Keeping an eye….
"What, you got some clairvoyance skill?"
"Huh? No, nothing like that."
"Then how do you monitor the other sisters? You're here."
"I'm not just one! We incarnate one per year, so up to 311 now."
"……."
"I'm the 291st! Oh, right. This is a secret only Mother doesn't know, so don't tell anyone? Just you, Master. Got it?"
