The next day…
I finally woke up around sunset.
“Ugh…!”
What had I done wrong?
I had clearly, with the magnanimity of a Great Hero, tried to share my feelings with two women, but the moment I said those words, the atmosphere had changed drastically.
What happened afterward was difficult to describe.
The women, having become colder than I could have ever imagined, tormented me all night long, devoid of even a shred of kindness. It was as if they had become female androids capable only of wearing emotionless expressions. Like programmed beings who would never stop, even if I begged them to, they exploited me… Where were the Three Laws of Robotics? Even Isaac Asimov couldn’t have predicted this expressionless, situation-management dystopia!
Anyway, thanks to that, my bursting yang energy had now subsided. It was only natural, since the two women had continuously drained it.
“Oh…!”
How could they be so scary?!
They weren’t the Serin and Ha-yeong I knew!
My body trembled!
I had become a mummy!
“Ah, you’re awake?”
As I trembled in fear, Serin entered!
“Eek! Serin!”
I was momentarily frightened, but Serin looked the same as always. She was wearing the lightweight martial arts uniform she had worn when we caught the Kappas. She looked so composed, it was hard to imagine her as the seductive woman from last night.
Seeing her like that, I wondered if last night had been a dream.
“Why are you so surprised? More importantly, you lecher. Your gaze is lewd. What are you looking at?”
But if it was a dream…
Why did I shudder at this cold expression?
“I wasn’t looking at anything…”
“A lie that’s easily exposed. Well, from now on, you should only direct that gaze at me.”
Serin approached and sat on the bed.
“So. Have you reflected on your actions?”
“Reflected…?”
“How dare you say you would embrace another woman besides me. Truly impudent. I was a bit angry last night, so I tormented you… but don’t take it too much to heart. Just reflect on your actions, and that’s enough.”
“Ah, ah. Right.”
She spoke while affectionately touching my ear, but I couldn’t tell if she was still angry or not.
More importantly, reflect?
Was last night a punishment?
What a lewd punishment…!
“Anyway, I’ll educate you properly from now on, Geun-hyeop.”
“What kind of education are you talking about…!”
“Hehe, well. What kind of education it will be depends on Geun-hyeop. Whether it’s a gentle education or a cold one, the choice is yours.”
I’m so scared!
“Why are you trembling? Act more dignified. You took my maidenhood, yet you act so awkwardly. I won’t tolerate it.”
Dignified!
Hearing those words, I came to my senses.
“Right… I should!”
I had been somewhat intimidated because I had been tormented by the two women all night, but that time wasn’t painful, but rather closer to pleasurable.
Also, although my pride as a man was hurt because I had been subdued by force, I shouldn’t dwell on that. I had to take responsibility as a man.
“Serin!”
“Yes.”
I tightly held Serin’s hand.
“I-I’ll take responsibility from now on! You just have to stay by my side!”
“Oh.”
Serin’s face flushed as I spoke confidently.
“M-Mm. You’ve learned to speak some admirable words. How impudent.”
“Is it more impudent than what I said yesterday?”
“…This won’t do. You still haven’t come to your senses.”
Huh?
Wait.
What did I say?
“Geun-hyeop. Choose. Who is it? Me? Or Wei Ha-yeong?”
There was only one answer to that question.
“Both!”
“You impudent…!”
“No! That’s not it! I was with both of you last night, so as a man, I have to take responsibility for both of you! That’s what a Great Hero does!”
“Your mouth is still running wild…! You lecher! I’ll punish you!”
“What, punish? Uh!”
Fwaash!
Suddenly, Serin overpowered me and, like last night, used pressure point techniques to immobilize me. Then she threw off the blanket and roughly tore off her clothes!
Wait a minute!
I was tormented all night yesterday, and now again?!
“Mmm, mmmph!”
“Huh? What? Your yang energy has recovered this much already after sleeping? You impudent lecher. This won’t do. I’ll teach you a lesson again before Wei Ha-yeong gets her hands on you!”
“Aaaaaaaaagh!”
Somebody save me!
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
“Kyahahaha! So you got it from Namgung Serin again as soon as you woke up?”
“That’s right…!”
“But what can you do? You reap what you sow. What? You wanted both of us? What kind of man says that in front of women! You’re dead!”
“I was expressing my Great Hero-like heart…!”
“Great Hero, he says. This impudent guy.”
Unlike the enraged Serin, Ha-yeong listened to my story to some extent. Thank goodness.
Serin was currently sleeping in her room. Taking advantage of that, Ha-yeong had popped in to talk to me. Despite her words, I hadn’t forgotten last night.
The two of them had teamed up and mercilessly drained me dry.
“…”
Anyway, I was alone with Ha-yeong. She was properly dressed, but having tasted her flesh, I couldn’t help but be conscious of it.
“Hmm?”
Our eyes met briefly, and Ha-yeong smirked.
“By the way. How was it?”
“How was what?”
“Don’t play dumb. How was it last night? Which one of us was better?”
There was only one thing to say.
“To be specific, both of you were good.”
“Huh?”
“No, really! Besides, I, uh! I was with both of you! So as a man, I have to take responsibility for both of you! That’s what a Great Hero does!”
I explained, gesticulating wildly for fear she might get angry again, but Ha-yeong’s eyes were still narrowed.
I had to do something about this…!
“What am I supposed to do with this idiot?”
“Tell me I’m Great Hero-like.”
“Be quiet.”
I immediately shut my mouth.
“Well, still…”
Ha-yeong approached me and reached out to caress my face. Her expression didn’t look bad. It was an expression of amusement.
“It’s not bad. Having a lover.”
“It’s a bit embarrassing when you put it like that…”
The corners of my mouth lifted involuntarily.
I had obtained two flowers of the Martial World, Jade Flower Sword and Calamitous Fire Hibiscus. Serin seemed quite dissatisfied with that fact, but not me. I would somehow convince her.
As for Ha-yeong…
“Chuckle, chuckle, you’re being shy even though you call yourself a Great Hero? You’re such an idiot.”
“Tell me I’m Great Hero-like.”
“Stop talking nonsense. Anyway, you…”
“Hmm?”
“Because of you, I lost my maidenhood, you know?”
“Th-That… Mm.”
Heat rose to my face, and I nodded slightly.
“You messed me up so badly. How could you do that?”
“I wanted to…”
“You’re honest, at least. Anyway, what I want to say is this. Because I lost my maidenhood, I can no longer use one of my Taoist arts. So you have to take responsibility for that.”
“What?”
She couldn’t use a Taoist art because she lost her maidenhood?
“There’s such a Taoist art?”
“I bet there are martial arts like that too. Namgung Serin probably can’t use one of her Simbeop techniques either.”
“There are such things?!”
Were there Simbeop techniques or Taoist arts that could only be used in a pure state? Learning this made me feel even more responsible.
“Okay. I’ll take responsibility. But how do I do that?”
“Dual Cultivation.”
“What?”
“Honestly, I’m embarrassed to say this, but Taoists practice something called Dual Cultivation.”
“What was that again?”
“…”
Ha-yeong’s eyes narrowed.
“I didn’t need to learn it… but now that I’ve lost my maidenhood, I have to compensate for it with that.”
“So what do you do?”
“It’s simple.”
Whoosh
Ha-yeong suddenly hugged me.
“H-Ha-yeong?”
“You and I will continuously engage in intercourse, sharing yin and yang energy to replenish our internal energy. Understand?”
“What?!”
That was Dual Cultivation?
Ah! Right! It roughly meant that!
“I’ll need to see the manual for the details, but I know we roughly have to have intercourse. Shall we start since we’re talking about it?”
“Wait, Ha-yeong! I was at it all night, and then with Serin earlier…!”
“Shut up, will you?”
Tsap!
The moment Hayoung used her Taoist art, invisible chains bound my limbs. I was instantly immobilized. Ha-yeong pushed my chest, making me lie down, and immediately straddled me.
“What is this! Untie me!”
“No way.”
“Wait! Ha-yeong! At least my hands…!”
“Chuckle, chuckle, where are you trying to touch? I won’t let you. A sinner like you should just watch and suffer.”
That’s too much!
“Now, shall we extract some yang energy?”
My body won’t move!
“Kyahahaha! Is this guy complaining while pinned under me? Just stay still!”
Ha-yeong laughed loudly, and…
“Aaaaaaaaagh!”
I screamed.
“Be quiet. After all, this is all your fault. What? You want both of us? What kind of man says that in front of women! You’re dead!”
My yang energy!!!!
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
“So… you traveled with Calamitous Fire Hibiscus, then came back and joined Jade Flower Sword to hunt yokai… and somehow you ended up dating both of them…?”
Jaemison, after hearing my story, tried to summarize it as if to confirm.
“Wow. You understood it right away. You’re so smart. Yes, that’s the situation. I’ve got a flower in each hand.”
“Kek…”
“Hehehe.”
“Bullshit, you son of a bitch!”
“Cough!”
Jaemison suddenly slammed the table, and alcohol splashed on my face. Seriously, even so, slamming the table?
“Hey, man! I just told you the truth!”
“You abandoned the Anhui Twin Warriors…! Unforgivable!”
Actually, I had expected him to explode in anger. There was a saying in my hometown: “Even with good news, if you brag, you get hit.”
But as one of the Anhui Twin Warriors, I had a duty to explain to Jaemison why I had been away. So I explained, even if it meant getting hit.
“Ah, that’s why I brought you a gift!”
“A gift…?”
“Yeah, you idiot. Do you think I’d come back empty-handed after abandoning the Anhui Twin Warriors and going so far?”
At my words, Jaemison stroked his spear.
“Show me…”
I immediately unpacked the item I had brought.
“This is it.”
It was a Kappa’s shell, the perfect size to cover an adult man’s forearm. It was long and oval-shaped, so if processed, it would fit perfectly on his forearm.
“What’s that…?”
“A Kappa’s shell. Look. It’s just the right size to wear on your forearm, right?”
“Indeed…”
Jaemison took the shell, examined it closely, and then pretended to put it on his forearm. As expected, the shell covered his forearm perfectly. Moreover, it didn’t look cumbersome, so it would be perfect to wear.
“If you take it to a blacksmith and have it processed a bit, you can use it effectively as armor. You use a spear, not a sword. If you wear this Kappa shell on one arm, it will help you in battle.”
He fell silent.
“…”
Jaemison, who had been silent, opened his mouth.
“Anhui Twin Warriors… Tonight, I want to celebrate our friendship.”
“What?”
“Let’s go to a brothel… I’m paying tonight…”
A brothel!
