The midterm exam period passed quickly.
Due to the revelation of core processing thods, I was quite busy.
[GG - S-rank 7th place, how about that?]
[8th place, hurry up!]
[GG - This guy...]
‘I should buy him a drink when we et later. It’s the noble obligation of an S-rank 7th place.’
As a result, I rose to S-rank 7th place.
Of course, simply being promoted to S-rank didn’t keep busy. I could have been busy if I wanted to, but… I rejected all interview requests, TV appearances, and invitations to events from various organizations, including the Divine Spirit Church. Because of that, my surroundings were as calm as the eye of a hurricane.
…No, honestly, it wasn’t completely calm. It was chaotic because the people around were making such a fuss over my S-rank promotion.
"Disciple~ Now you’re on the sa level as your master, right? We’ve finally matched our statuses."
"Ah, I’m still far from being worthy of you, Master..."
"Well then, from now on, call Aika!"
"How can I be so rude!?"
First, my Master.
She congratulated on becoming S-rank and insisted that I call her Aika from now on… In Japan, dropping a surna to call soone by their first na usually indicates a close relationship.
Because of that, I struggled quite a bit to refuse her. If others saw, they might mistake it for a romantic relationship between us. Well, I guess she said it out of affection for .
"Hmph. Then, just call that when it’s just the two of us. If you don’t agree to this...!"
"I understand. Aika. When it’s just us, I’ll call you that."
"......Hehe♡ Got it, Yujin♡"
I couldn’t completely refuse, and while we’ve matched each other, this was unavoidable, so I’ll let it slide.
Anyway, there were many other things to keep busy.
Slurp, sip.
"So, nothing happened with that succubus?"
"Yeah. Why?"
"Hmm~ It’s nothing."
"......?"
Whenever there’s a chance, I get pulled into Sia’s unexpected interrogations.
"Yujin. What do you think about early graduation?"
"...Huh?"
"It’s a waste to keep an S-rank cadet rotting in the academy. If you want, I can graduate you imdiately."
"Eh."
"Of course, you’ll need to train under for another six months or so. You’ll help with my association’s work and learn industry knowledge..."
"No. I’ll graduate normally."
"Don’t say that. Think it over. It wouldn’t be bad for you or for Korea..."
Declining the offer of early graduation and a happy campus life with my wives was quite challenging.
"Father? Why are you calling?"
[I sent the list of researchers dispatched for the Saint in the U.S... What on earth is the scale of this? The funding is suspiciously large.]
"It’s an important study, after all. Oh, by the way, you haven’t t the Saint yet, right?"
[Well, of course not. Aren’t you the one with her?]
"Then let’s have a al this weekend to show you the Saint. I’ll visit you with Sia on Sunday."
I also arranged to et with my father-in-law, the clan leader of the Cheonhwa Guild, regarding the research on the Saint. Aside from that, I was really busy with various things.
Amidst all this busyness, the part that provided so healing was…
"Wow~ our eldest daughter. The military uniform suits you well!"
"Sis, you look super cool!"
"......"
Shivers.
"What's wrong? Just a few days ago, you even kissed Dad. Are you embarrassed already~?"
"Shut up, shut up, shut up!! I’ll kill you!!"
"Shock. Sis has declared she’ll make Dad fall in love with her."
"Haru, just shut up already!!"
Our little dumpling, Winter, returned after just three days.
It was quite special to tease her like that.
And…
"Yujin-kun. How about having a al together today? I’ll treat you to celebrate your S-rank."
"Ah, that… um."
"There are things I’m curious about regarding Alice..."
"I’m sorry. I have a prior engagent with Alice today!"
It was Saturday, the day after the midterms ended.
Alice had promised to celebrate with directly.
…I was really holding on just for today. My beloved wife prepared a special celebration party with a surprise gift. She even made a reservation at a hotel.
If I didn’t look forward to this, I wouldn’t be a man.
Smirk.
‘Well, it’s probably so pine needle-thed rchandise or sothing.’
Of course, I didn’t have those kinds of expectations.
Being invited secretly to a hotel for just the two of us, plus a special gift just for … Anyone could see that was the angle.
If sothing similar happened to soone else, I’d advise them to take so vitamins for their wallet.
But who said that?
Alice. My sweetest and most innocent wife in the world.
The one who misunderstood my state of mind as a katana despite being fully stripped of my Yujin status. She’s incredibly pure.
There’s no way Alice would call for sothing like that.
Even if it’s a party, it’d just be eating cake together.
And that special gift would definitely be related to pine needles.
"An engagent with Alice? Is it perhaps sothing that crosses the line?"
"Of course! Our Alice is so innocent that she wouldn’t know about such things."
Tilts head.
"That’s not it…? Yujin-kun, your judgnt..."
"Huh? What did Suyeon noona say?"
"......It’s nothing. Just, take care of yourself. Yujin-kun."
"Okay! Then I’ll see you next week!"
Thanks to that, my steps toward the hotel were light.
What was Suyeon noona about to say?
It must be nothing, so I felt relieved.
Yujin going to the hotel alone?
Thanks to the overwhelming hypnotic powers that hindered broad recognition, no one would recognize , so I felt good.
In the end, I could have a great ti with Alice, my purest wife in the world.
On the other hand, let’s rewind a bit. Just before the first midterm exam started.
Sia and Alice stood up simultaneously.
They even tossed aside the cramming papers, looking anxious.
"...I think I was too harsh when I said she was unlucky. Should we apologize?"
"It’s a coincidence. I was thinking the sa thing."
Then they hurriedly headed outside.
They felt guilty for snapping at Yujin, who had offered to buy them coffee.
"...Let’s scatter and look for him, Sia."
"What are you saying, slowpoke? I’ll find him, so you just stay put."
Whoosh.
Sia’s shadow lded into the darkness.
She was using her S-rank unique ability to manipulate shadows to search for Yujin.
It was a thod fitting for her, recognized for her speed during S-rank gate clearances.
Soon after, a text chid on Alice’s phone.
It was a ssage saying, ‘He’s by the vending machine near the supply room.’
A brief smile appeared on her lips.
Smirk.
‘This is… where I first t Yujin, right?’
That was the place where Alice and Yujin first t on the day of their entrance.
The place where the bond with the Pine Needle Squad began.
Wasn’t it quite a significant place for her?
Her footsteps naturally headed toward that location, reminiscing about old mories.
———Not knowing what she might encounter at the end of it.
‘Hehe. Since I feel sorry, should I ask him to touch my chest as an apology? It’s secluded there, and no one will see…’
Sneakily. Smirk.
‘That succubus finally showed up.’
By the ti she arrived near the vending machine, Sia, who had sensed her, took action.
Action ant provocation.
‘Get moving already, you idiot.’
Slurp. Sip.
"……!!!!!?"
Sia quickly kissed Yujin.
Her tongue gently invaded the mouth of the robust young man.
Very passionately. Intensely.
…In the place where Alice and Yujin first t.
Hesitation.
‘Huh? Sia is with Yujin... Yujin? What are you doing there? That’s where we first t. Wait, what?’
Her mind was a jumbled ss.
After all, she was witnessing a kiss scene between Yujin and Sia in a place that was more precious than anything.
The shock she felt was beyond what Sia could have ever fathod.
‘Tag, netorare...? Am I currently experiencing netorare with Yujin?’
Grind.
Alice gritted her teeth.
Ah, I see. So the person Yujin likes is Sia, huh?
Sia must have known that and was declaring her feelings to .
Ha. She surely called here to show this.
To declare that she had won.
‘But you know, Sia? There’s a genre called reverse NTR?’
I won’t give up.
Sia only approached him because Yujin is the next S-rank Awakened.
I’m different. I was his comrade from the very beginning, back when Yujin had nothing.
I was the pure maiden who fell for him because of his abilities, unlike so cheap woman.
So, I’m more suited to be by Yujin’s side.
I should be the one next to him.
Swish. Tap.
‘If I intervene now, I’ll only be indulging in a losing fantasy. Revenge is originally served cold. I need to prepare thoroughly first, and taking Yujin away cos first.’
That’s why she strategically retreated.
She spent most of the midterm period planning to take Yujin away.
It was quite unlike her to worry about midterms...
Snap.
"Alice Littonwood cadet, perfect score..."
"She’s really an exemplary student."
"I thought she would get everything right as long as she didn’t get too nervous, but it seems she really didn’t feel nervous at all."
Thanks to relaxing, her scores ended up being even better.
That’s a stroke of luck amidst her misfortune.
Although it didn’t matter much to her, who was fixated on revenge.
[So let’s have a celebration party at our hotel.]
‘The plan is perfect. On Saturday, I’ll take Yujin away…!!’
As a result, a furious British snake had curled up in a hotel near the university hospital that Yujin had contracted with.
A room where no one could leave unless they had sex.
No, it was even more extre—one couldn’t leave until using all seven condoms.
Yujin stepped inside that room.
"Alice, I’m sorry. Did you wait long?"
"No! Here, you must be tired, so please sit down..."
Creeeak. Click.
The door closed. A handle held so tightly it was suspicious.
And then,
Ding.
[Activating unique ability...]
"I’m sorry. I’ll compensate later."
An S-rank unique ability that manipulates flas was secretly activated.
It was to lt the door’s locking chanism and weld it shut.
So that no one could leave this place without her permission.
The birth of a room where no one could leave without having sex.
