Chapter Title: Hong Si-on (2)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Skill 【Sudden Mission (S)】 has been activated! Clear the mission and grow even stronger!
Mission! Enjoy a threesome with Hong Si-on and Song Dan-pung!
Hint! Hong Si-on is fed up with the Eden Guild and her family's traditions. Her dream is to escape their influence and live a life enjoying dance and song! If you show her hope, she'll gladly open her heart!
On Success: Face Score +5
On Failure: Face deformed in a bizarre form
Last time it was my dick that got changed into some bizarre shape...
Now it's my face that's going to get weird?
I quickly checked my Face Score.
Right now, it was at 75 points.
Completing this mission would jump it straight to 80.
I couldn't let an opportunity like this slip away.
"Hong Si-on, how about I get you out of that Eden Guild?"
"...Pardon?"
"B-Bro? What do you mean by that?"
Hong Si-on's expression hardened at my words.
Similarly, astonishment floated across Hong Ye-chan's face.
"It might sound arrogant coming from me, but give it a few years, and I'll be a man no one can ignore. Not even the number one guild in the country, Eden. In other words, I'll have enough power to back up the life my favorite sex partner wants to live."
"......"
"Si-on, you still haven't given up on your dream of becoming an idol, right? No, even if it's not an idol, you want to live singing and dancing. I can help you with that. If you meet a few conditions."
"Ha... Have you been digging into my background or something?"
"Why would I?"
"......"
Hong Si-on frowned unpleasantly and glared at me.
It'd be great if she just said, 'Sure! Please help me!' right here...
But things probably wouldn't go that smoothly.
Then, out of nowhere, a short burst of static crackled from the artifact Hong Ye-chan was holding, followed by an urgent voice spilling out.
"This is 4-0! All squads of the 4th Company, listen up! Boss-class entities A 300-class or higher are scattering from the central mountain on the island, heading down toward the base all at once! The boss-class entities are tactically commanding the surrounding tigers and hunting Hunters! Engaging by squad is hopeless! Any squad hearing this, abandon your current operations and rendezvous at the 4th Company outpost! Prioritize linking up over combat at all costs!"
"Whoa... Sounds like something big just went down."
"Oppa! Hurry back to our squad!"
Hong Si-on urgently pulled Hong Ye-chan to his feet.
"We brought the artifact with us, so 3rd Squad is totally defenseless right now! Quick!"
"O-Okay!"
"Hold on a second."
I leisurely stopped the two of them.
"Lime, how strong is an A 300?"
"Depends on the skills, but think somewhere between Siri and Miho. Miho and Song Dan-pung could take it down with ease if they teamed up."
I was inwardly surprised at that.
That many super strong ones?
"Alright then, Siri. Quit sucking dick and go grab the squad leader. We'll head out to save 3rd Squad like this. Link up with the other squad members and head to the 4th Company outpost."
"B-Bro! Thank you! You saved our lives!"
"In return, once this is all over, Hong Si-on, sleep with me once."
"...Pardon?"
"I'm risking my life to help here. Don't I deserve at least that much?"
"......"
"We'll pick up that bedroom conversation where we left off."
.
.
.
He was a man with tremendous confidence, that much was clear.
Standing tall naked in front of others isn't easy.
People usually draw authority from their appearance to gain confidence.
But Jeong Ji-ham was different.
This man was a pervert brimming with inexplicable self-assurance.
"Oh! I sense a bunch of monsters ahead. What should we do?"
On our way to our squad's outpost, the woman called Lime muttered lightly.
She was in Song Dan-pung's form, leading us from the front.
"Want me to handle them all?"
Her voice held zero tension.
It just sounded like, 'There's some bugs over there—want me to clear them out?'
"Are those the boss-class monsters?"
"Well... If they're weaker than Siri, I can't really gauge it."
How arrogant could she be?
I'm the one whose main job is scouting and detection, and I sense nothing—yet not only does she pick it up, she treats boss-class or not as all the same to her...
"For now, let's head that way. I just got a new skill and wanna test it out."
"Got it! I'll guide you there!"
"Wait a minute! This isn't the time to hunt monsters! Securing our squad members comes first!"
"Your squad members are all fine, so quit panicking~."
"P-Panicking?"
"Alright, I'll guide you to where the monsters are gathered!"
.
.
.
"Th-This... can't be real..."
My body froze stiff upon facing the boss-class monster.
Its size was similar to the tigers that ambushed our outpost before.
But the aura emanating from it was on another level entirely.
Krrrrrrrrr...
The guttural growl scraping like claws on stone and its flashing eyes filled me with dread.
Dozens of tigers were gathered there.
Their voices wove into a horrific harmony, pressing down on us.
I could tell just from facing them.
I should've opposed this more strongly.
I should've begged him not to fight the monsters.
"Ugh... My body's all tingly... Feels like I'm gonna piss myself."
"Then should I just take them all out?"
"Nah. Just in case, Lime, focus on protecting the squad members. Fighting... how about Uni?"
"Ah... Master, don't you think you're piling too much on me? I carried you all the way here... Now I have to wrestle those things too? They should be plenty manageable for Siri and Miho."
"Go get 'em! Unimon! Tear those tigers apart!"
"Haa..."
The woman with sparkling hair stepped forward, utterly devoid of tension.
Uni was the one with a horn on her forehead who could transform into a unicorn.
"Lime sis, can you get my sword?"
"Here."
Lime, in Song Dan-pung's form, reached into her stomach and pulled out a long sword.
Uni took it and strode forward steadily.
The monsters were still growling, keeping their distance.
As if observing our movements.
As if awaiting a command.
"Gonna get filthy blood on my sword again."
"Hold on, Uni. Let me try my skill first."
"......"
Jeong Ji-ham thrust his arm forward excitedly.
His hand was shaped like a gun.
Thumb and index finger extended, the rest folded, pointing at the largest tiger in the pack.
"Ah, this feels kinda embarrassing..."
He paused awkwardly for a moment, then shouted softly.
"Bang!"
I thought it was a joke.
Otherwise, it was like training a pet dog with a trick command.
But that notion flew away fast.
The instant he uttered the skill activation phrase, a black orb formed, as if sucking in all light.
An adult fist-sized darkness appeared right at his fingertip.
And that black sphere sliced through space in an instant, stretching out long.
It looked just like a bullet tracing a black trajectory.
"Ooooh!!!"
With a childlike whoop, the darkness shot toward the boss-class entity's head.
The moment I thought it hit dead center...
The boss-class entity's body blurred into an afterimage.
It had dodged the attack at invisible speed.
"Ah, it dodged. Can't test the destructive power like this. Major letdown."
Jeong Ji-ham's grumble tickled my ears.
And the next instant, the boss-class entity collapsed sideways.
Its massive body hit the ground with a thunderous thud!, causing the other wary monsters to panic and stare at the fallen boss.
"Eh...?"
I saw nothing. Felt nothing.
That tiger had clearly dodged Jeong Ji-ham's attack.
And he'd even lamented that it dodged.
So why did it suddenly drop?
"Hmm. Can't dodge if I stop time and smash it in, huh."
Stop time?
What the hell was this guy?
.
.
.
After that, it was a massacre that made my resignation and worries feel utterly foolish.
Uni closed the gap to the monsters in a single casual step.
Something sparkled, and the monster just flopped over.
Like leaves in an autumn gale.
Blood sprayed wherever her sword flowed, followed by the tigers' death cries.
"Th-This... can't be... Then that villain Uni... how strong is she exactly?"
"Uni! Be careful not to damage the fur! Tiger pelts are expensive!"
At Jeong Ji-ham's words, Uni's attack style shifted immediately.
To one that preserved the hide.
Taming such a powerful villain and using her like a limb...
Maybe his promise to get me out of Eden wasn't just empty talk.
"So, do you believe me a little now?"
Jeong Ji-ham had sidled up beside me at some point, scanning my body up and down.
His gaze was the same as when we first met.
Definitely a creepy look.
But strangely, my reaction to it had changed.
Yeah. If I play my cards right with this guy... maybe I can gain my freedom too? A tiny seed of belief began to sprout in my heart.
