◇◇◇◆◇◇◇

Silence filled the room.

Ingrid and Jeong Yoo-shin stared down at the table.

A set of leopard-print underwear, a mix of yellow and black, lay on the table.

“…”

Jeong Yoo-shin gulped.

‘Am I screwed?’

Karin had wrapped her underwear in cloth and brought it to him while claiming it was medicine and food.

From a mother’s perspective, it was as if the barbarian whom she had believed to be pure had appeared and said:

‘Woohoo! I enjoyed your daughter very much! This is her underwear, a trophy from when she became a depraved woman just the way I like them!’

A trophy, a declaration that he had conquered her precious daughter with his penis and tainted her with his essence.

And…

A declaration of war and a promise that he would do the same to her soon.

Was there a more wicked way to seduce a widow?

Even readers of adult comics on certain websites would shake their heads and recoil at such a malicious threat.

Realizing this, he trembled.

His opponent wasn’t just any widow. She was a member of the labyrinth city council, a guardian of the labyrinth. Someone in an incomparably high position.

‘Karin… What grudge do you have against me that you’re trying to get me assassinated?’

Borrowing a knife to kill.

Death was imminent.

No.

He pulled himself together.

Even if he was caught in a red wolf’s den, he wouldn’t be eaten if he kept his wits about him.

His mind, honed by countless brushes with death, began to race.

“…Ingrid, please listen. I can explain.”

“Stop. This underwear is mine.”

“…Huh?”

Jeong Yoo-shin asked blankly. Ingrid avoided his gaze.

“It’s mine.”

“…”

Ingrid’s red ears twitched.

‘How foolish.’

A few weeks ago, she had felt aroused by this barbarian’s massage. So she had secretly bought underwear she wouldn’t normally wear. She usually wore plain cotton underwear.

After buying it, she realized it was too vulgar for her age. Even with her greatest effort, embroidered underwear was her limit.

So, she had kept it tucked away in her closet, had never worn it, and gave it to her daughter when she visited after her house arrest had ended.

More accurately, Karin had taken it without permission.

Ingrid had confiscated everything her daughter owned. It was the law of the labyrinth city, so it couldn’t be helped. It was stricter than other families, but as a member of the labyrinth city council, she had to set an example.

Still, she couldn’t help but feel sorry for her daughter.

She had pretended not to notice and let Karin take it. But her daughter had returned it clean.

Karin knew she wouldn’t wear such flashy underwear.

Yet, Karin had returned it to her. For one reason. It was a silent declaration of her desire for independence as an explorer.

On the one hand, she was proud.

On the other hand, she wanted to die of embarrassment.

Karin had exposed a secret she didn’t want this half-blood barbarian to know.

Ingrid tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and crossed her legs.

‘I’m so embarrassed.’

If this man laughed and said something like, “You wear this kind of underwear? How indecent,” she would die on the spot.

“Skar, I’m sorry. For showing you this.”

“…I don’t mind.”

Ingrid’s eyes widened at Jeong Yoo-shin’s gentle words.

“…What?”

“Isn’t a person free to wear whatever kind of underwear they want?”

“But isn’t this underwear too flashy for a woman my age?”

“To be honest, when I first met you, I thought you were Karin’s older sister. You’re young and beautiful, so I don’t think you need to worry too much.”

‘It’s not like you’re going to show it to anyone.’

He swallowed the rest of his sentence.

“I-Is that so? You’re flattering me.”

Ingrid blushed and repeatedly tucked her hair behind her ears. Her wolf ears twitched.

“And I like leopard print underwear.”

Jeong Yoo-shin’s sudden declaration was like a bomb.

“…!”

Ingrid’s mouth opened slightly.

‘Could it be?’

This man…

Was he indirectly asking her to wear this underwear for him?

With his innocent face and gentle tone, he was soothing her heart before pushing his absurd request.

‘Ugh…!’

Not only had he thoroughly played with her body, but now he was imposing his preferences on her.

A dangerous man.

Alarm bells rang in her head.

He had driven her to five days of sensual torture, making her call him “husband,” but this was different now.

She had overcome that hellish massage. She had developed a tolerance to it, so she wouldn’t fall for it so easily anymore.

She wouldn’t be led around next time.

She had to steel her resolve and refuse.

Ingrid looked at Jeong Yoo-shin with a firm gaze.

“A-Alright. So I just have to wear this?”

Ingrid was horrified by her own words. They were completely different from what she had intended to say.

‘Ugh…!’

This wasn’t right. She had to be more assertive. The words that tumbled out of her lips were completely different from her thoughts.

Jeong Yoo-shin, his face flushed, frantically waved his hands.

“N-No! That’s not what I meant!”

“Th-Then?”

“It’s about personal ‘freedom.’ Who can stop you if you want to wear it, Ingrid?”

Freedom.

Ingrid gulped.

‘He’s a scoundrel.’

He was saying that he wouldn’t push her any further, so she should fall into the abyss on her own.

A nonchalant sentence that urged her to willingly corrupt herself.

A chill ran down her spine.

This man, who had never once demanded her body, was telling her to willingly open her yearning hole and act coy.

How far would he push her before he was satisfied?

But once again…

“A-Alright. So I can ‘freely’ wear this underwear?”

Words opposite to her intentions came out of Ingrid’s mouth.

“Yes. Do as you please.”

The barbarian blushed and looked away. He pretended to be innocent, but he was a sadistic man at heart.

Suddenly, she was worried about her daughter.

‘Could she be trapped by this man…?!’

Was she being subjected to all sorts of horrible things by him?

If she died exploring the labyrinth, it couldn’t be helped. It would be heartbreaking, but those who sought to rise above others inevitably faced these kinds of hardships.

Especially those who stood alone in high positions, they were exposed to all sorts of storms. It was a painful and lonely path.

But there was something even worse than that.

What if her daughter had been violated by this man and was gradually becoming accustomed to his unspeakable, sadistic demands?

And then, one day, when she retired as an explorer…

What if she had vulgar tattoos on her stomach and breasts, tanned her skin, wore indecent clothes like a prostitute, nestled in this barbarian’s arms, abandoned everything, and became nothing more than a receptacle for his semen?

If that happened, she would crumble.

Ingrid gritted her teeth.

She couldn’t stand idly by.

For her daughter’s sake, and for her own.

She couldn’t directly help her daughter. But what if she stepped in and endured this man’s sadistic desires?

She felt confident that she could protect her daughter that way.

Then, the place she hadn’t touched except when bathing became moist.

That slippery, sticky, warm place clenched and unclenched repeatedly.

“Pant. Pant.”

Ingrid’s breath hitched. Jeong Yoo-shin looked at her with concern.

“Are you alright? You seem unwell.”

“I-I’m fine.”

She felt resentment. How could he put on such a concerned expression after tormenting her relentlessly for several nights?

She wanted to pinch his cheeks hard. But as the representative of the Beast-person Alliance and a mother, she had to restrain herself.

‘It would seem too casual.’

Ingrid, her face flushed, picked up the leopard-print underwear.

Underneath the underwear were food and medicine. There was also a letter.

Jeong Yoo-shin then spoke up.

“So, Karin’s request is done. Can I ask you something now?”

“Speak.”

“Is there a reason why you called me here?”

“It’s not that important.”

Ingrid bit her lip and finally spoke.

“It’s about Lin’s massage.”

“I see. I believe I performed diligently. I even slept with her in my room.”

Ingrid felt her pelvis tilt and sink comfortably into the chair. Like melting ice.

‘I know. Your scent, your sleep-talking, your touch, everything.’

“L-Lin told me… she doesn’t like… rough massages.”

“I understand. I’ll be careful.”

Several scenes flashed through Jeong Yoo-shin’s mind.

The time he straddled Lin.

The time he spanked Lin’s buttocks.

The time he massaged Lin all night because his hands moved on their own due to the side effects of sealing the Female Virgin Corruption imprint.

“B-Be gentle, alright? Please… no more…”

Ingrid blushed and trailed off.

Jeong Yoo-shin nodded. There was a reason Ingrid was saying this.

Of course, no one would like it if their precious familiar was being treated roughly.

“I’ll be gentle next time.”

“Hngh…!”

Ingrid squirmed.

Jeong Yoo-shin scratched his head.

‘She really seems unwell.’

It was polite to excuse himself in such situations. He had fulfilled Karin’s request, and he had heard what Ingrid had to say.

He felt it would be rude to stay any longer.

He stood up.

“Then, I’ll be going now.”

“A-Alright. Take care.”

Creak.

Thump.

Ingrid watched Jeong Yoo-shin’s back as he left the room and then looked down.

The leopard-print underwear.

She bit her lip. If she didn’t wear it, he would torment her even more relentlessly. That smile. That expression. It was the same tone as someone who already knew everything.

‘If you don’t want to see your daughter become depraved, you have to endure it yourself. Is that what you mean?’

She hadn’t been able to properly monitor the labyrinth entrance due to the five days of humiliating torture.

She had muffled her vulgar moans with a pillow as she was worried that her subordinates and her daughter would hear her through the door.

“Sigh… I’ve made a terrible mistake.”

Her biggest mistake had been not breaking the sensory sharing magic with Lin, as she was lost in the unprecedented pleasure that mercilessly sliced through her brain.

She couldn’t go back now.

What should she do?

Should she wear this flashy underwear and act coy as he wished?

Her, a member of the labyrinth city council and the chieftain of the Red Wolf Tribe?

Late at night, in the quiet room, Ingrid’s hot sighs deepened.

◇◇◇◆◇◇◇

Jeong Yoo-shin returned to the inn while enjoying the humid night air.

“Why are you so late?”

Karin glared at him as she rested her chin on her hand.

“I had a long talk with your mother. But…”

“What?”

“Why did you put underwear in the bundle?”

“Huh… Did you open the bundle beforehand?”

“No. Ingrid asked me to open it.”

“Really? That’s strange. Why would she do that? I thought you’d just hand over the bundle. Are you close with my mother?”

“No way. She’s the representative of the Beast-person Alliance and a member of the labyrinth city council. How could I be close to her?”

“Then why did you talk for so long?”

Jeong Yoo-shin tilted his head at Karin’s question.

‘Did that much time pass?’

“Even though I’m not close with Ingrid, we have a connection.”

“What kind of connection?”

“Didn’t I tell you?”

“I was locked up in my room, remember?”

Karin grumbled.

“Right. The first time I met Ingrid was…”

Jeong Yoo-shin crossed his arms and looked up at the ceiling.

“Wait a minute.”

Karin took out a bottle of alcohol from the cupboard behind the counter.

“Let’s talk while we drink.”

Jeong Yoo-shin chuckled.

“Shall we?”

“And stop speaking formally. What’s with that…? Anyway, you’re the ‘owner’ of this inn.”

Karin emphasized the word “owner.” Jeong Yoo-shin tilted his head and nodded.

It didn’t matter. He thought Karin was just trying to be friendly. She was a bit rough around the edges, but she was assertive and considerate.

“Alright.”

“Good. Keep talking.”

“Let’s see… So, when we went into the labyrinth together last time, we met Hans, right?”

“Yeah. So?”

“That Hans bastard…”

In the empty inn…

The night deepened, the glasses emptied, and the conversation between the man and woman lengthened.

It was midsummer.

T/N – Holy shit! This chapter was too funny! Ingrid has such an… active imagination.

Also, I really like how the MC climbs out of a hole only to dig another one to lie in.
