The terrorist incident that upended what was supposed to be a peaceful Saturday.
At first, I was at a loss, everything went black before my eyes…
But after struggling together, we managed to resolve it somehow.
Because of this, right after Brother Suguru left,
The Chairman’s face was beaming with joy.
“Yu-jin, you did really well. Just based on the results, you’re good enough to be called S-class.”
There wasn’t much reason behind the old lady’s excessive grinning.
It was a first-class villain, Winterer’s terrorism, after all.
Although she became a villain petitioner and a trainee, her strength was genuine.
If it weren’t for me, there would have been 10,000 casualties. Additionally, the Chairman would have also perished.
It was such a dangerous moment.
But I had resolved it all.
Furthermore, I had skillfully handled the troublesome Prime Minister and Master issues in the media.
It’s natural for her to be that pleased.
‘I don’t really like being the center of attention.’
“The most important thing was that Shia and Alice did everything.”
Taking advantage of that moment, I reminded her.
The unsung heroes of this incident. Shia and Alice.
They were overshadowed by me, but the two of them saved 10,000 civilians.
The Chairman’s smile deepened.
“Oh. Are you giving your credit to others?”
“Because it’s true. If it weren’t for those two, at least a few bombs would have exploded. Compared to capturing just one Winterer, what they did was much greater.”
“You did everything from providing information to planning the operation by yourself, and now you’re sharing the credit with the Prime Minister and your colleagues….”
-Mutter mutter.
“Are you tempting me to make you my successor? How shameless. Fine. As soon as you graduate….”
She muttered something as she did, but…
Well, it probably wasn’t anything important.
* * *
Afterward, the Chairman held a small party.
Since we hadn’t had dinner, she ordered a lot of delivery food like pizza and chicken. She even brought out her cherished ginseng liquor for the party.
It was a reward for those of us who had struggled in various ways.
The party attendees were me, Haru, Master, and the Chairman.
And…
-Slam.
“Yu-jin! We’re back~.”
“I’m so exhausted, seriously….”
Alice and Shia, who had just returned.
The six key members who resolved this incident.
We sat around and enjoyed a modest yet luxurious dinner.
We chatted happily with each other.
Like a family, in a warm atmosphere.
“Oh, Yu-jin. What’s that bandage on your neck?”
“It’s just a little scratch….”
“———Yu-jin, that fox woman is a total pervert. When I collapsed from exhaustion, she started groping my body!”
“Pfft.”
…The warm atmosphere shattered.
I almost choked on my chicken.
“I just carried Shia to move her, that’s all.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. I thought my chest was going to be crushed!”
“Oh, my… Sorry. I must have grabbed your chest thinking it was a rib. They’re so different from mine that I got confused.”
“…You fox woman, seriously!!?”
-Squish.
“Kyaa!!?”
Then Shia and Alice started to squabble.
Watching them fight and touch each other here and there was quite embarrassing.
‘Oh my… No, I shouldn’t be watching this.’
-Sneak.
I quickly averted my gaze.
I sought peace of mind by looking at my daughter, Haru.
-Rub rub.
“…Haru, my dear. What are you touching during dinner?”
“Grandma’s chest. It’s kinda squishy.”
“Tsk. You shouldn’t touch other people’s bodies carelessly. It’s embarrassing, so let go of your hand….”
‘Oh, damn. My eyes.’
Haru was getting sex education.
Using a 60-year-old teaching aid.
I quickly turned my head away in shock.
I desperately needed an eye cleanse.
-Swift.
“Master, you’ve worked hard today.”
For cleansing my eyes, Master was the best.
Thanks to him, my discomfort quickly dissipated.
Afterward, we engaged in a wholesome and harmonious conversation…
“Thanks to you, I survived….”
“Disciple. So, you were interested in such things too…? You couldn’t take your eyes off them.”
“…….”
There was no paradise at the end of running away.
The topic that I had barely managed to escape came up again.
I was at a loss for what to say.
“Well, it’s not that….”
“Your cheeks turned red, and you were breathing heavily. Anyone could see you were excited.”
Master’s relentless attack!
He saw everything. Are you happy about this?
Even our disciple turned out to be a man. A wolf, a wolf.
…No, this was inevitable, Master.
When something like that happens right in front of your eyes, how could you not be flustered?
In the first place, with five women and one man, and four of them touching each other, even a hypnotist mating expert would be flustered.
What is this, did I intrude wrongly? I should just leave-.
These thoughts were surging up my throat.
But Master,
“Be honest. I won’t be angry. I just want to understand my disciple’s character as a master.”
“…….”
‘He just blocked my escape route!?’
He was twirling a fork with his fingers while staring directly at me.
He seemed determined not to forgive me until I answered.
Yes. If I answer wrong, that fork will be stuck in my head.
If I’m honest, he’ll be disappointed and stab.
If I lie, he’ll say, “Why tell such a lie?” and stab, stab.
In other words, this was a life-and-death crisis.
So I seriously pondered…
“Well, a disciple is also a man. It’s natural for his eyes to be drawn.”
I chose to confront it head-on.
Master’s eyes widened.
“Indeed….”
“But, denying this would be wrong. Acknowledging such honest desires and overcoming them is a form of training for me.”
“……?”
Of course, it felt too much to end up just being labeled as a womanizer.
So I intended to embellish it a bit.
To align with Master’s values.
“What do you mean?”
“Actually, my hypnosis requires a steady mind. I must maintain my composure no matter what happens beside me.”
“…….”
“So, yes. Watching such things and suppressing my emotional fluctuations is a form of training—something like that.”
‘What nonsense am I spouting, really.’
I felt a bit ridiculous even saying it myself.
But Master quietly put down the fork.
Seeming satisfied with my words.
“Is that so. For the sake of your abilities… I see. I understand. That makes sense.”
“Yes. Thank you for understanding!”
Crisis averted successfully.
* * *
I thought I had successfully averted the crisis,
“Master, you had something to say to me….”
-Slide.
“Disciple. Touch as much as you want.”
“……!!?”
The crisis I barely evaded came back to me like a boomerang.
…No, after returning to the dormitory. After some training, I was about to sleep.
Suddenly, Master asked to talk and then started undressing.
Isn’t it too much to come in without any signal?
I was so flustered I couldn’t even speak.
“What is this about?”
“To maintain a steady mind for hypnosis, wouldn’t it be better to eliminate any mental devils?”
“…….”
“It won’t wear out, and for a precious disciple… I, I can allow this much touching.”
So I was the cause.
It seemed he misunderstood my frantic excuse earlier as “Actually, the disciple is piled up!”.
I shut my eyes tight and stepped back.
Trying desperately to avoid the 8-ton truck coming my way.
“No. There’s no need for that….”
-Tremble tremble.
“———Did you hate the sight that much? So much that you’d flinch like this?”
“…….”
No. Now he’s using the ‘-냐’ form.
It seemed like my reaction had been interpreted a bit differently.
I quickly tried to explain myself.
“No, it’s not that!! It’s just, you’re really beautiful. I don’t know where to look.”
“Really…? Is it not too big and gross or something?”
“Not at all. You’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen, Master.”
“Liar… You have your eyes closed so tightly. Acting like this at my age is ridiculous….”
It wasn’t working.
I had clearly triggered Master’s sore spot about her age.
I had no choice but to open my eyes.
“No, absolutely not. Look. I mean, oh, wow….”
‘I’m going crazy. Seriously.’
A 100% genuine reaction followed.
Wow, look at the size. This is insane.
The swimsuit is too small, the strings are digging into her skin, and the precariously tied knot in the middle… wow.
And even a bit of sweat trickled down her underboob, possibly from the heat.
If this were before my regression, I would’ve…
-Gulp.
“It’s embarrassing when you stare like that… but I’m glad it doesn’t look awful.”
Master seemed pleased with my physiological reaction, her self-esteem recovering from its earlier blow.
But I couldn’t let my guard down just yet.
Gaining confidence, Master began pushing her chest forward.
“You can touch as much as you want. Just don’t take off the swimsuit; that would be too embarrassing.”
“Isn’t that a bit too much!? How could a disciple dare to….”
“I also need to apologize.”
“……?”
Master then said,
Today, the disciple was attacked by a Winter.
The reason was absurd. Instead of helping, I, the Master, distracted him with irrelevant talk.
I feel really sorry and want to apologize somehow.
“But just saying it doesn’t feel sincere. I want to show you how truly sorry I am. Come, touch.”
To show her sincerity, she was offering to let me touch her chest.
I was at a loss for words at this ridiculous logic.
“You don’t have to do this, Master!! How could a disciple blame their Master?”
“No. Ignoring it would be harmful to both you and me. Rewards and punishments must be clear.”
“No matter what….”
“Hurry up and touch. Th-this is an order!”
She even called it an order.
So, my hand moved on its own.
Following Master’s words was just ‘common sense.’
‘If I touch this, I’m really in trouble. I’ll never be able to face her again…!!!’
“Then, just a little….”
My hands shook as if I had Parkinson’s disease. My fingertips wandered.
And at the end of that trembling hand… was Master.
As the distance narrowed, Master’s breathing became heavier.
“Y-you can touch as much as you want. As much as you desire….”
-Tremble.
Her body was trembling, probably from embarrassment. Her chest shook slightly, and sweat beaded more profusely.
…If this moment were drawn in a picture, wouldn’t it be rather majestic?
Like Michelangelo’s Creation of Adam.
It was such a tense moment that it made me think that way.
My fingertips, in the end.
Touched Master.
-Poke.
“Eek!!!?”
“……!!!!!!!”
Just my index finger. Only the tip of my nail.
Even that small touch elicited a cute squeal.
Taking that sound as a signal.
We moved in unison.
Following our instincts, as much as we could…
-Fly.
“Disc- disciple! I’m sorry, sorry!! This is too much!!!!”
“I thought this was too much too!!!”
…We quickly separated.
Like we had planned it, we took simultaneous back steps.
Master was surprisingly conservative in this aspect.
As I expected, it was too much.
‘Tsk. Luckily, I was ready to back out… but it’s still a bit disappointing. If I could’ve touched it, my lifespan would’ve increased by a year.’
I felt a bit regretful.
* * *
A while later.
After a brief meeting, Master took off her hakama.
All of her skirts, too. Shrrrr.
And then,
-Swish.
“Disc- disciple. Hurry up.”
She pushed her hips back.
With her hands against the wall, it was quite an awkward pose.
I lowered my voice.
“Do you really want me to?”
“Do it quickly. As hard as you can. We’re both Awakened, so something ordinary won’t have much effect.”
“…….”
I asked one last time, but Master’s resolve was firm.
I gritted my teeth as well.
To fulfill Master’s wish.
Then, I tightly closed my eyes…
“I’m sorry, Master!!”
-Smack!!
I slapped her butt.
…She insisted on being punished, even though I said it was fine.
Just recently, she had spanked me at the gate.
Now she wanted to be the one getting hit.
Even though I said it’s inappropriate for men and women, she wouldn’t listen, talking about gender equality. Sigh.
In the end, I had no choice.
I slapped hard enough for a loud smack to echo.
‘This should satisfy her, right?’
“Disciple, hit harder. If you hold back, it feels like you’re mocking me….”
“……Yes.”
Moreover, Master was ranked first in S-Class.
Even my full swing, despite being only a low C-Class, barely registered as a light touch on her butt.
I was finally let go after hitting her about ten more times.
She only seemed satisfied when a slightly red handprint appeared on her butt.
“…Anyway, I’m sorry, disciple. I’ll be more careful to prevent this from happening again.”
“Yes….”
The atmosphere became awkward.
With her butt bright red and my hand equally red, we couldn’t meet each other’s eyes.
“You don’t need to change your clothes….”
“It’s a swimsuit, so it’s fine….”
Our conversation couldn’t even flow properly.
…Should I go to bed now?
Trying to fix this would only make things more awkward.
“Master, then I’ll….”
“Oh, now that I think about it, disciple. Since we’re talking about clothes, help me choose some.”
She wasn’t letting me escape.
I blinked in confusion.
“I don’t know much about women’s clothes. Sizes and all….”
“Don’t worry. I’ve already picked out some clothes for you to choose from. Just tell me which one you think looks nice.”
“Wouldn’t it be better for you to choose, Master? Since you’ll be the one wearing them.”
“Having worn only hakama for twelve years, my fashion sense is dead. Please help me.”
But Master patted the spot next to her, signaling me to sit.
I reluctantly sat back down.
Her outfit was so revealing it was embarrassing, and I didn’t know where to look.
Master’s command was absolute.
“If I can be of help, I’d be happy to.”
“Thank you. Now, let’s see, where’s my phone.”
Then, Master picked up her phone from the table…
“Oh? I have an email from Mama… Huh!!!?”
“Master!? What’s going on….”
[Aika? Mama thinks it’s fine if it’s Yu-jin. So, go ahead and make it a done deal! You need to hold on to a man like that so he doesn’t run away!]
[Ah, and can you show this to Yu-jin? I used a translator.]
[Thank you for taking care of our daughter. We will take full responsibility for raising any grandchildren, so you don’t need to use condoms.]
“……Oh no.”
Master’s nonsense originated from her mother’s nonsense, which now overwhelmed us.
