The person Geum Taeyang brought was Mehhya. Since she was in civilian clothes, she must have been off duty and just passing by.
Mehhya’s expression was so murderous you’d think she was a demon. Not surprising, considering she was called in on her day off. Geum Taeyang must have gotten knocked out trying to persuade her, since he wasn’t with her.
After entering the inspection station, Mehhya glanced at Tanya’s disheveled state, scanned the room, and then relaxed her scowl when she looked at me.
“Wow. That’s a mandrake. I was gonna chew you out if you called me for something trivial, but I guess I should be praising you instead. Good job.”
Her gaze lingered on the desk leg. I wondered what was there—turns out, traces of our earlier activities were still visible.
Mehhya patted Tanya’s back enthusiastically.
“You don’t look it, but you’re quite the bold one, huh? A true role model for women. Thanks to your decisive action, our rookie here survived.”
“Huh?”
Tanya looked utterly confused. I couldn’t bear to watch and buried my face in my hands. Might as well advertise that we’d stepped into a gender-reversed world. Clearly, Mehhya thought Tanya had been the one to take the lead in bed.
In Mehhya’s world, men were repulsed by sex. If about 50% of Korean men in their 20s were virgins, then in her world, 90% of women were.
The women there had absorbed all the lost libido of men and preferred satisfying themselves with other women rather than dealing with men. That’s why there were no male characters in Mehhya’s H-scenes.
“N-No! The security guard saved me!”
“Oh? Right, right.”
After a long pause, Mehhya finally realized our worlds were different. Awkwardly smiling, she turned to me.
“You okay?”
“Yes. But aren’t you off duty today?”
“I’m just filling in until someone else arrives. Anyway, you look rough, so hurry to the clinic. I’ll handle things here. I’d love to help you myself, but who knows what side effects might pop up? Better not risk it.”
“Thanks.”
“If you’re grateful, buy me drinks with the captain later.”
“I’ll set it up.”
“Honestly, you’re something else. First day on the job, you catch a criminal. Third day, you kill a mandrake. Keep this up, and you’ll get promoted in record time.”
I wondered what to say to win Mehhya over. Normally, humility would be the way, but her ideal type was a strong man. So, I decided to brag a little.
“All thanks to my natural talent.”
“You crazy bastard. Here, take this.”
She tossed me a mid-grade recovery potion.
“Drink it if you feel like dying on the way. Now get going.”
With the potion in hand, I glanced at Tanya. She immediately latched onto my side.
“I’ll help you walk.”
“You don’t have to.”
Truthfully, I wanted her to stay close. The contrast between her toned arms and soft chest was nice.
“I want to. Let’s go.”
As we left, I heard a whistle from behind. Would Mehhya whistle if she were under me? I’d have to ask her to try it if we ever hooked up.
—
The setting of a new game by Universe Studio, merging multiple worldviews. The Kingdom of Hugo had several types of clinics.
One was for the poor or penniless rookie hunters, while the others varied in quality based on money and status.
In modern terms, it was like comparing a free volunteer clinic in Afghanistan to a general hospital and a VIP ward.
The clinic we arrived at was mid-tier—a large hospital equivalent. Tanya might be a noble’s daughter, but as a mere baron’s child, she didn’t qualify for VIP treatment.
I’d secretly hoped to meet a healer straight out of an adult game, but no such luck. The one assigned to me was a man.
Oh well. Healers were rare as protagonists or heroines in adult games anyway. Since priests and saints filled the same role, most games just used female clergy as material.
Still, given my recent luck, I’d hoped for better. It wasn’t like female healers didn’t exist here—just my luck.
The smug-faced male healer grabbed my wrist and clicked his tongue.
“You should’ve been carried here on a stretcher. I see the rumors about the guards’ treatment weren’t exaggerated.”
“It was an emergency. Everyone was busy at their posts.”
“Sounds like you’re understaffed.”
Why is this guy chatting instead of treating me? Like he could do anything about it even if he knew.
I studied his appearance—blond, aristocratic features—but that was standard for middle-class healers here.
I just humored him.
“Guess so.”
“Understood. Now, let me explain your condition.”
He only checked my pulse so far—is he really that skilled?
“Externally, you seem fine, but your insides are a mess. Most people wouldn’t even be able to walk like this. You must have a high level.”
“I don’t have a level. I’ve never entered a dungeon.”
I’d asked Tanya why my status window didn’t appear, and she said you had to enter a dungeon at least once. She’d been amazed I’d killed a mandrake without one.
The healer reacted similarly, stroking his chin in admiration.
“Oh-ho. So you’re a natural prodigy. Knight material.”
“Becoming a knight is out of the question. I’m happy with my current job.”
Knights got benefits comparable to nobles, but the restrictions were too much. Especially in adult games—knights either died in war, died protecting a princess, or (if female) got violated by monsters and enemy soldiers, leading to bad endings.
Meanwhile, guards were lifelong job security. Even if the kingdom fell, they’d survive and keep bedding women. No way I’m becoming a knight.
“Is that so? Well, you’ll need a full day of rest, so you’re being admitted. Ideally, you’d skip tomorrow’s shift too, but since you’re understaffed…”
“I’ll have to ask the captain about that.”
“I’ve already sent someone. He should be here soon. Let’s proceed with admission.”
He left briskly. I turned to the trainee beside me.
“How much for the admission fee?”
If it was too expensive, I’d be screwed. I hadn’t gotten my first paycheck yet—still broke. I had some bribes from Geum Taeyang and other hunters, but that was emergency funds—for seducing naive female hunters.
“Ah! It’s free for guards! How could we charge someone who works tirelessly for the royal family?”
“Thank you.”
The benefits are this good?! Being a guard really was the best.

After changing into hospital clothes, Tanya showed up. I’d wanted us to get treated together, but the female healers were too busy.
“You’re being admitted?”
“Yeah. You?”
“They’re sending someone from my family. I don’t think I can stay.”
Expected. No noble would leave his precious daughter in a den of men. It wasn’t like her territory lacked healers anyway.
“Alright. Get well. See you later.”
I tried to send her off coolly, but Tanya hesitated. For some reason, she looked reluctant.
“Mhm. Yeah. I’ll visit once I’ve recovered.”
“Sure, sure.”
“I asked them to switch you to a private room.”
“Oh, wasn’t expecting that. Thanks. This’ll be way more comfortable.”
“And also…”
“Young lady! Where are you?”
Just as Tanya was about to say something, a voice called for her. Flustered, she quickly spoke.
“About what we did earlier… don’t worry. I’ll write you a letter when I get back.”
“I’ll be waiting. Take care.”
After Tanya left, I moved to the private room. Despite the medieval aesthetic, it was surprisingly well-equipped—soft bed, spacious, and best of all, no need to mind others.
As I stretched out, someone knocked.
“Come in.”
“Feeling better?”
“Oh, Captain. Done with work already?”
“You don’t see me?”
“Senior, you’re here too.”
Serika looked at me with concern. Mehhya, sitting on a chair like she owned the place, would’ve been so much better if she were even half as pretty as Serika.
“I was worried, so I left early and handed things over to my subordinates. Mehhya told me everything—you killed a mandrake parasitizing a female hunter.”
“Yes. Hence the clinic visit.”
“Hmm… still as mouthy as ever. Shouldn’t have worried.”
“Gotta keep my mouth busy when my body’s in pain.”
“You’re really…”
Serika looked exasperated. Hah, I win. Mehhya, rummaging through a gift basket, chuckled.
“Not a single loss. Captain, you’ve met your match.”
“You’re one to talk.”
“Is that why you feel kinship with this guy? Here, take this.”
She handed me what looked like a drink.
“What’s this?”
“Tonic. They say there’s no better gift for a man.”
“Thanks a ton. I’ll enjoy it.”
Here, it was called a “tonic,” but it was really a stamina potion. Can’t say no to sex potions.
“By the way, the healer said you should rest until tomorrow.”
“Then who’ll cover my shift? I’ll rest well today and come back tomorrow.”
“No need. I’ve approved leave at my discretion. Take the day after tomorrow off too.”
Giving me extra leave without me even asking? Suddenly, Serika looked even prettier.
“Thank you, Captain.”
“You should thank me too. I’m covering for you.”
“You, Senior? Aren’t you handling a mid-tier dungeon?”
“I’ve got a partner—they can handle it. It’s just two days.”
“Thanks, Senior.”
Compliments cost nothing. As we chatted, another knock came.
“The healer?”
“Must be for checkups. Come in.”
I was wrong. The person who entered was Iruna.
