Chapter 187: I Can Control Most Situations.
"Pretty average."
If it were a difficulty level that could be settled with just Coercion, I wouldn't have worried in the first place.
As the old saying goes, you never really know until you experience it for yourself.
[Tyrant activated! Despising the underlings!]
[Coercion activated! Overwhelming all monsters!]
Furthermore, with Tyrant active, the monsters didn't show even the slightest hint of movement.
All that was left was to methodically kill the submissive monsters. It was a peaceful scene, one that hardly seemed fitting for a B-Class Gate.
'Hm?'
Right then, I sensed a presence rapidly approaching from beneath the floor.
It felt roughly the size of three dump trucks lined up in a row. I figured things were going a bit too smoothly for a B-Class.
Boom!
A massive hand erupted from the ground, grabbing the Saintess and Baelson, suppressing them instantly.
Melanie, who was nearby, tried to react immediately, but her body froze the moment she looked at the Gingerbread House. A mix of self-doubt regarding her abilities and the urgency of the situation had sent her into a panic.
'Well, if the Gingerbread House gets smashed, all those things will come pouring out.'
Normally, if a Gate raid fails, it vomits out every monster inside. That’s why people always work so hard to clear them.

Ejecting sword.
Clack!
As I dashed toward the Saintess, the sword flew into my hand as if it were being wound around it. Bringing a weapon case the size of a bed really paid off.
Shring—
The hand was sliced through as smoothly as a knife through tofu.
Oof.
"Your ride quality is quite nice, Tae-yang."
"Is that so? I'm glad to hear it."
"Thank you for saving me."
"Don't mention it."
The Saintess managed to catch me perfectly mid-air, snuggling right into my arms. And then there was Min-su, staring at the scene with a hollow expression.
A scene straight out of a romance movie was created in a single instant.
"But if I hug you a little tighter here, wouldn't Kim Min-su's face crumble even more?"
"Pardon?"
"I'm joking."
I was flustered by the Saintess's whisper, but she seemed to find even that amusing, giggling as she stepped out of my arms.
"Kim Min-su, get back to your position."
Ignoring Min-su's jealous glare, I finished off the monster that had popped out of the ground and sent him back to his spot.
From then on, the waves continued without any variables.
Ding!
[All waves cleared. You will be transported out of the Gate shortly!]
'It's so easy and comfortable when Chubby Ahn doesn't interfere.'
There was no threat to my life, and no fear of what might happen if we failed to clear it. A Gate where you just had to complete clear objectives to get out.
It was almost hard to believe I was only just now experiencing a clear like this.
"Ahem... well... good job, everyone."
As soon as we stepped out of the Gate, Kim Min-su spoke up as if he’d been waiting for the moment. I liked it when he was staying quiet and playing his weird character, but I guess he was planning to take center stage now.
In fact, the moment Min-su spoke, the atmosphere turned cold. Everyone instinctively felt it: 'Is the bullshit starting?'
"Let me explain the reason I remained silent today—"
"Oh, Hero! You worked so hard! To clear a B-Class Gate so cleanly without a single injury! You're truly the best!"
The Saintess, sensing it more clearly than anyone, cut Kim Min-su off ruthlessly. She broke his flow with such perfect skill that he couldn't even find a way to respond.
No matter how I looked at it, she didn't just smell like one of my kind—she was radiating it from her entire body.
"Then shall we disband for now? As usual, Tae-yang will handle the report."
"Yes, I'll do that."
With my final word, we confirmed the Gate had completely vanished and went our separate ways.
A Gate without Chubby Ahn was truly the best.

A relaxing weekend.
I had summoned Chun-hyang and was leisurely loosening up my body. Even if it was the weekend, I had to keep moving.
"It's peaceful."
"Slurp... haah... is it... really...?"
"Yeah."
The joint training had ended quite smoothly. To the point where I suspected Kim Min-su and Chubby Ahn were quietly plotting something. It was very quiet, and everything proceeded without a hitch until the closing ceremony.
'I'm looking into the Moros Child...'
I had asked Kang Tae-min to do a separate background check on that, so I wasn't worried. Even if Melanie's fiancé barged in right now, I was at a level where I could handle it decisively.
Unless a meteor suddenly fell from the sky or ninjas appeared and started a massacre, I could control almost any situation.
"Master... my... pussy... won't you use it?"
"Why are you asking to use your pussy already? It hasn't even been a minute since I put my cock in your mouth."
Slurp, mwah.
Chun-hyang kissed the head of my penis, then lifted her head to meet my eyes.
"This maiden's pussy is so itchy... I wish for Master's cock to scrape against my vaginal walls... kyuun, kyuun... ah... Master... my pussy..."
As she said that, she nonchalantly lay back and spread her legs wide.
Lately, since I was home alone and bored, I had been summoning Chun-hyang often. Every time, after talking to me for a bit, she would scurry over to the computer.
'And this is the result.'
I regretted leaving her alone when she said she wanted to learn about modern civilization. If I had known she would watch porn and study it so diligently, I never would have summoned her.
Still, I suppose it's fine to indulge her once in a while.
'Honestly, she did work hard.'
She fought hard in Min-su Land, and lately, I’d been living a wholesome life because of the joint training. I wanted to fuck whenever I had the chance, but the Saintess was so clingy that I couldn't. I needed to at least see her face to do something, but I hadn't even been able to take off her veil yet.
'But seriously, why does Melanie keep getting pushed back?'
Whenever I tried to get close to Melanie, it felt like the tempo kept slowing down. Even though we’d gone as far as playing tic-tac-toe on her thighs, there hadn't been any further progress.
Thinking about it alone was just depressing, so I was about to get down to business when—
"Tae-yang, who is she?"
"Huh?"
A voice I absolutely should not have heard in this situation reached my ears.
Blazing red hair and an intense gaze that looked ready to burn the whole world. It wasn't just a figure of speech; the furniture around her was actually starting to char.
"Yu-min?"
"That's right, it's me."
"How... how are you here?"
"I came to my boyfriend's house on the weekend. Am I the one who has to hear 'how'?"
When she put it that way, she was right. And even before we were officially dating, Yu-min used to come over to my place quite often. It was just that I’d been busy moving and doing the joint training lately.
"That's not it."
It wasn't.
This situation was definitely not it. It was a textbook 'caught red-handed' scenario.
"So, just answer me. Who is that bitch?"
"Well, she's..."
"Master, is that wench one of the ones who bothers you?"
"What?"
Wow, this is a real disaster.
I cursed my past self from just a few minutes ago, who had been so confident that he could control any situation. Heaven must be angry because I fell into such excessive arrogance. Otherwise, there was no way it would throw such a goddamn situation at me.
"Wait, everyone just calm down and listen to me first."
"Oh, of course I'll listen. You better answer very clearly."
"No, Master, there is no need to listen to that wench. What does it matter since she's going to die here anyway?"
There was Yu-min, whose anger was perfectly understandable, and Chun-hyang, whom I couldn't understand why she was already radiating a cold aura. The compatibility between these two was the absolute worst.
"I had a bad feeling when I had sex with Su-jin. I thought there might be more women... but I never dreamed you'd be keeping one in your house."
As soon as Yu-min finished speaking, her hair began to rise. Her hair, a deep red like a blazing furnace, was terrifying. It wasn't that I felt my life was in danger, but the fear that the house might burn to a crisp filled my head.
"Of course, for I am destined to spend my entire life with Master."
"No, well, that's true to some extent, but it's because she's a summon. Calm down for now, both of you, calm down."
Thinking about it, I felt a bit wronged. At least give a guy time to prepare before things blow up. What kind of mess was this?
'I feel like a zookeeper who accidentally stepped into a tiger's cage.'
I quickly put on some clothes and approached Yu-min. Then, I grabbed both of her hands tightly so she couldn't throw any fire.
"Yu-min, she really is my summon. That's why she said those things."
"Then do you have sex with your summon? No, wait, does that mean you've been living like that ever since you got her?"
"Of course! Can't you tell just by looking? Master and I, every single day! Lovey-dovey, feeling the taste of his thick cock as it touches this maiden's cervix with a kyuun—"
[Reverse summoning Seong Chun-hyang!]
Please, stop with that 'kyuun' sound already. I regretted not reverse summoning Chun-hyang even a second sooner.
'Stay calm. Since we've already done a 3P, I can definitely persuade her and make her feel better.'
Just as I was about to open my mouth with that resolve, Yu-min spoke first.
"I'm living here too."
"Huh?"
"Honestly, it makes no sense for you to live in a three-story house alone. I'm living here too. Surely you're not going to say no to your girlfriend when your summon gets to do that with you every day?"
Of course I should say no. My harem isn't even perfectly finished yet, and if you move in now, things are going to get very complicated.
"Choose your words carefully."
Before she burned the whole place down.
I smiled and replied to her words.
"Of course you can."
Want me to help you pack?
