Ah~ It's Summer~!
The summer sun blazed down on the earth, and the people standing beneath it sweated like meat sizzling on a hot griddle, juices dripping. I was no exception. Still… at least the office had air conditioning. With every heavy step, sweat trickled from my chin. Dragging my feet across the scorching pavement, I finally reached the company building. Normally I’d stop at the smoking area for a quick cigarette, but today that felt like a death sentence. Better just go inside… The lighter would probably ignite the moment I flicked it.
Stepping into the first-floor lobby, a blast of cool air hit me. The sweat on my skin began to chill, and I felt like I could finally breathe again. I rode the elevator up and entered the office.
Huh…? The moment the door opened, a wave of hot air slapped me in the face. It wasn’t as bad as outside, but it was still hot enough that I didn’t want to take another step. What the hell…?
“Ah… you’re here…?”
“Good morning, Assistant Manager Kang…”
Team Leader Ha and Employee Kim greeted me, both looking utterly drained. The other staff members behind them looked just as exhausted as they worked. Ah… don’t tell me…
“Assistant Manager Kang… the air conditioner broke.”
Why do my bad premonitions never miss? Two of the three air conditioners in the large office had gone down. Even with the department head’s door left open and his small unit running at full blast, it wasn’t enough to save the space. We spent the entire morning melting in the sweltering office.
Eventually, lunchtime arrived. Team Leader Ha, Employee Kim, and I decided to eat our lunch boxes in the break room.
“Ah… the air conditioning actually works in here.”
“It does~ Ugh… I really don’t want to go back to the office…”
“Seriously… When do you think they’ll fix it? My shell is practically baking right now…”
Hearing that, Team Leader Ha lightly placed her hand on the snail shell attached to Employee Kim’s rear before quickly pulling it away. It must have been burning hot.
The department head had said we’d have to live like this until tomorrow or the day after. This was going to be rough.
Just then, Employee Kim spoke up.
“Team Leader, do you have your own way of staying cool in the summer?”
“Hmm… going to the beach? Or just cranking the AC and holing up in my room?”
“Ah… the air conditioner…”
At the mention of AC, Employee Kim’s expression turned gloomy and she slumped over the table.
“What about you, Assistant Manager?”
The question was turned on me.
“Not much different, haha… What about you, Employee Kim? Got any special methods?”
“Back in my hometown, I’d go to the valley in the mountains or soak my shell in cold water and lie under the shade of a tree. That was the best. But ever since I moved to the city… it’s just the air conditioner for me too, hehe.”
It was the first time I’d heard about her hometown. Turns out Employee Kim had grown up in the countryside. The conversation kept circling back to air conditioning. Honestly, in the city, there weren’t many ways to beat the heat besides AC. That said, I did have my own personal method for dealing with summer. It just wasn’t something I could casually bring up here.
Time passed, and the weekend arrived. The office air conditioner still hadn’t been fixed. Until yesterday, we’d been working in that sweltering heat, practically turning into steamed dumplings. Of all times, there were no outside assignments either, so this week had been pure hell. But today was a day off. Finally, I could put my personal summer survival method into action.
I arrived at my destination—the Undead Yokai Brothel. If I told other people I was going there in this heat, they’d probably say, “Why the undead in the middle of summer?” But for me, this place was an oasis in the desert during the hottest season.
Full of anticipation, I stepped inside. The automatic glass doors slid open, and a rush of cool air enveloped me. Refreshing wind and cold wrapped around my body. This was the true charm of the summer undead brothel. Most people assumed undead would rot and smell in the heat. They weren’t wrong. That’s exactly why any establishment employing undead kept the temperature freezing year-round. Some even hired snow women.
A woman with pale skin in a suit appeared from behind the counter.
“Welcome~ Would you like to request someone specific?”
She handed me a catalog. I nodded and flipped through it. Various undead species were listed: jiangshi, skeletons, zombies, vampires, mummies, snow women… This place had snow women too. Choosing just one among so many beautiful women was difficult. Well… I’d probably be coming here a lot this summer anyway, so I could try different species each time.
“I’ll go with this one.”
“Understood. Please wait a moment.”
I sat on the lobby sofa. Soon, someone emerged from the hallway beside the counter. She was about chest-height, with modestly full breasts, a short bob with her bangs swept to the side, and bandages wrapped around her body. A mummy.
I didn’t have any particular reason for choosing a mummy. I just wanted to try different species this summer. The bandages on her body covered relatively little—only her left eye on her face, barely enough to cover her chest and crotch on her torso, with a few wraps on her arms and legs. The purple skin visible between the bandages looked pale but showed no signs of decay, and despite being a mummy, she wasn’t emaciated.
“Hello~ I’m Ha-mi~”
Introducing herself, Ha-mi gently took my hand and helped me up. She linked her arm with mine and led me down the hallway. As we walked, a faint lavender scent tickled my nose. I sniffed around, wondering where it was coming from, and realized the entire establishment was filled with the fragrance.
Just then, Ha-mi poked me and spoke sharply.
“Hey! Sniffing around like that in an undead shop is bad manners, you know~?”
“Ah!! S-sorry!! I didn’t mean to… It’s because of the lavender scent…”
When I flustered and made excuses, Ha-mi burst out laughing.
“Hahaha! It’s fine~ I know it’s the lavender. Everyone does that. It’s pretty strong. It’s from the latest undead preservatives. They prevent decay completely and even change body odor to something pleasant. All the girls working here smell like lavender. Plus, I’m not all skin and bones like a typical mummy, right? They help maintain some moisture too~ Still, we have to stay cold just in case.”
Ha-mi spun around, showing off her body. The bandages on her arms and legs fluttered, releasing a stronger wave of lavender. Then she linked arms with me again and spoke playfully.
“Ah! But there’s no moisture down there, hehe.”
A short while later, after washing up first, I sat on the edge of the bed in the room and lit a cigarette. The room wasn’t as cold as the lobby, but it was cool enough. In one corner stood something resembling a golden Egyptian sarcophagus. I’d smoked about half the cigarette when Ha-mi opened the bathroom door and stepped out, her bandages slightly damp.
“If I were a regular mummy, I would’ve gone up in flames from that cigarette. Good thing modern preservatives are so effective.”
At her teasing words, I stubbed the cigarette out in the ashtray. Ha-mi approached and sat on the edge of the bed, leaning against me.
“Hmm~ I wasn’t telling you to put it out~ How gentlemanly~”
She traced her finger along my shoulder and whispered in my ear. Then the bandages wrapped around her arms stretched and began to wriggle toward me. They gently tugged at the front of my robe and slowly peeled it off. I surrendered to her touch and the bandages, letting the robe fall away before pressing her shoulders down onto the bed.
“You’re more impatient than you look~ Come here~”
Ha-mi lightly pulled aside the bandages over her chest, exposing her deep purple nipples. The bandages on her arms continued to squirm like tentacles, while more emerged from her back, beginning to caress my body. I embraced her gently and kneaded her exposed breasts. Her body was cold and firm, but her breasts moved pliably under my hands. When I touched my tongue to her protruding nipple, I felt a chilly sensation and a bumpy texture at the tip. Enjoying the feeling, I slowly rubbed my tongue against it.
“Haaang! Humans really are warm~”
Ha-mi let out a moan, her mouth wide open, and began savoring my body heat. She spread her legs wide and pushed aside the bandages covering her crotch. Her plump folds were revealed.
“Put it in~ I already put gel inside.”
Transparent, slippery fluid leaked from the straight slit between her purple thighs. When I hesitated to admire the sight, Ha-mi sat up slightly.
“Huh? What’s wrong? Want to do it somewhere else? How about here?”
She pushed aside the bandage covering her left eye. I was startled. Instead of an eyeball, there was only a dark, empty void. My erection, which had been standing proudly moments ago, instantly wilted.
“Eh?! That wasn’t it? This is actually pretty popular, you know?!”
Ah… so there was demand for that… An image flashed through my mind of a man grabbing her head and thrusting into the empty eye socket. My member shrank even further. Seeing this, Ha-mi panicked and quickly covered her eye again.
“Ah!! Sorry! That’s not your thing?!”
Flustered, she used her tentacle-like bandages to scoop out a generous amount of gel from inside her folds. She spread it evenly over her hands and the tips of the bandages, then wrapped them around my shaft. The soft, squishy sensation of the bandages enveloped me. She began moving them up and down.
“How is it? These bandages are made of really expensive fabric~ Feels good, right…?”
“Aah… Yeah… They’re soft…”
Ha-mi brought her face close to my crotch as she spoke. Her cold breath brushed against my balls. She poured the remaining gel into her mouth and extended her tongue to lick my glans. Her cold, bumpy tongue stroked the head while the moist, soft bandages slid along the shaft below. My member quickly regained its vigor and stood erect again.
“Tada~ Good as new~”
Ha-mi smiled brightly and lay back down, spreading her legs. I carefully pushed my shaft between them. Though she’d removed a lot, plenty of gel remained inside. A wet, squelching sound filled the air as I entered the narrow space.
“Haat!! Ugh!!”
Her voice echoed. Cold gel and inner walls squeezed around me. I usually preferred warmth, but the cool sensation spreading through my lower body on a hot summer day was unforgettable—that’s why I visited the undead brothel every summer. I began moving my hips slowly. When I looked at Ha-mi’s face, she was gazing at me with an incredibly aroused expression. Huh…? Wait… weren’t there more bandages than before…?
More tentacle-like bandages had emerged from her arms and back. They wriggled and caressed my body, slowly stroking downward in rhythm with my thrusts, wrapping around me as if trying to hold our bodies together. I ignored them and continued thrusting while embracing Ha-mi tightly and slipping my tongue into her mouth. She accepted it. Her tongue, previously slick with gel, had dried out, and I began wetting her parched mouth with my saliva.
“Hup… Haa… Hngh!!”
Her cold breaths reached me. The bandages had wrapped around us enough to hold our bodies in place, fixing me in an M-shaped position with my hips buried between her spread legs. I could barely move my waist anymore.
“Haaang… I’ll help you…”
She spoke in a breathless voice. The bandages gripping my waist and hips began slowly moving my pelvis for me.
“Hngh!! Aah~! How’s that? More comfortable?”
It was definitely easier when I didn’t have to move myself. All I had to do was surrender to the bandages and enjoy the inside of Ha-mi’s body. The sensation of my overheated shaft cutting through her cold, firm inner walls in a freezing room on a hot summer day, repeatedly striking the entrance of her non-functional womb, was indescribably good.
“Haat!! Ah! I’m gonna come!!”
Her moans assaulted my eardrums. I was reaching my limit too. Her bandages moved my hips even faster. Her once-cold walls were gradually warming from the friction, and the gel we’d packed inside had been thoroughly spread between our thighs, turning sticky rather than slippery.
“Aah!! Haaaaang!!”
“Ugh!!!”
Finally, I released thick, hot semen deep inside her. The bandages seemed to understand, pressing my hips down firmly so I could empty everything as deep as possible. I could feel the sticky fluid passing through my urethra. Even after finishing, I stayed buried inside her and collapsed on top of her body. The bandages had all unraveled at some point and lay scattered across the bed, and Ha-mi was sprawled out limply as well.
“Haa… Haa…”
She panted heavily.
“How was it? I’m pretty good, right?”
Ha-mi lifted her head slightly while still lying down and looked at me. As someone who usually took the lead, I’d heard plenty of praise directed at me, but I didn’t often give it to others.
“Yeah… You’re really good.”
“Hehehe~”
She pulled away for a moment, grabbed the gel from the bedside, and waved it at me.
“Hmm~ How about it~? Want to go again?”
“Sounds good. But…”
Honestly, embracing her cold body naked in the freezing room had left me a bit chilly.
“It’s a little cold…”
“Ah, don’t worry about that.”
Ha-mi got up from the bed and walked over to the Egyptian-style sarcophagus in the corner. She tapped on it, and the lid swung open. From the pitch-black interior, countless bandages shot out and wrapped around me. I was pulled inside.
A short while later, on the way home, the inside of the sarcophagus had been quite warm. The temperature was like a pleasant spring day—not too hot, not too cold—but after being in the cold room, it felt wonderfully warm. When I entered, Ha-mi followed right after. The space was just big enough for the two of us. We spent the time pressed together in the narrow space, exploring each other’s bodies.
I wouldn’t even need to turn on the AC at home…
After that, we went back and forth between the sarcophagus and the bed several more times. Even now, my body still held a lingering chill, enough that I wouldn’t need the air conditioner at home.
The following Monday afternoon at the office:
“Ah~ Now that the air conditioner’s fixed, it’s like heaven~”
Team Leader Ha said while basking in the cool breeze.
“Right~ I’m so relieved~”
Employee Kim chimed in beside her.
“On the other hand…”
The two of them turned to look at me. I was the only one in the cool office wrapped in a blanket and wearing a mask while working.
“Assistant Manager Kang… Are you okay? Should I make you another cup of yuja tea?”
“Assistant Manager~ Sleeping with the AC on is nice and all, but… you should start thinking about your age~”
“Cough, cough!! Please do. Employee Kim. Sorry. I was fine at lunch, but it suddenly hit me a little while ago…”
Every time I coughed, it felt like someone was clawing at the inside of my throat. My voice was completely shot and barely came out.
“Sigh~ It’s almost quitting time, so just leave early. If you’re still sick tomorrow, take a sick day and rest.”
“Yeah…”
I sipped the warm yuja tea Employee Kim brought me and tightened the blanket around my shoulders.
