Chapter 209
Seo Yujin, caught in the chaos of the EX-rank gate, clung to one daring plan:
Step 1: Lift the Master.
—Hoist.
[“I love you, Master!! Please have sex with me!!!”]
“W-WHAT!?”
The subject of this declaration, Aika Ninomiya, froze in utter disbelief.
Hoisted into the air, her face burned with confusion and shock.
It wasn’t just her.@@@@
“...What the hell?”
“Yujin?!”
“What... is going on?”
The three S-rankers—Seol Hayeon, Sybilla, and Cong—stood in stunned silence.
After all, this wasn’t just anyone.
This was Aika Ninomiya, the undefeated sword saint up until yesterday.
And now, here she was, suddenly lifted into the air—her very obvious assets unabashedly groped by Seo Yujin.
Even Sybilla, who was relatively open about physical intimacy, couldn’t hide her surprise.
‘I mean, sure, I knew he liked her, but... to grope her chest this blatantly? In front of everyone?’
‘What kind of taste does this guy even have...?’
Meanwhile, Cong and Seol Hayeon stared with faces of utter exasperation for their own reasons.
“...Wait a minute!!!”
‘Yujin... he’s gripping that woman’s chest. Like, really gripping it! His fingers are practically sinking in!’
Sybilla’s renowned observation skills zeroed in on the details, while...
“Dad grabbed the squishy parts of that white-haired baby cow!!”
“WHAT?! Dad!! What the hell are you doing?! If you’re gonna touch something, touch my rice cakes instead!!”
Haru, in her usual unfiltered manner, shouted vulgarities at the top of her lungs.
Winterer, the narcissist, naturally inserted herself into the mix, casually aligning her assets with Aika’s.
Everyone was in shock.
It wasn’t surprising, given that most of the onlookers harbored some sort of feelings for Yujin.
And Yujin? He had anticipated this reaction perfectly.
—Sneaky glance.
‘Shia and Alice... Yup, I’m dead. It’s official.’
His eyes darted to Shia and Alice.
Alice was speechless, her fury visible in the way her lips trembled.
Shia, on the other hand, squinted at him with a sharp, annoyed expression.
Their reactions were completely justified.
After all, both women were his current secret girlfriends.
With one, he had already shared a bed.
With the other, plans were made to cross that line during the next break.
And now, here he was, openly groping another woman right in front of them.
Yujin sighed internally, knowing he had signed his own death warrant.
It reminded him of the time in the previous timeline when he had forgotten his wedding anniversary.
—Resolve.
‘I’m sorry, Shia. Alice. This is all for you... and for humanity...!!!’
But even so, he didn’t let go.
Bridging the gap with Aika was his priority.
Even if it meant angering his two wives.
“D-Disciple... This, uh, this is...”
“Excuse me, everyone! I need to discuss strategy with Master privately! It might take five hours, so please hold the line until then!”
“F-FIVE HOURS?!”
“Master, let’s move!”
—Flash.
“H-H-Hold on, wait...!!”
With that, Yujin executed Step 2 of his plan: Escape with Master.
Knowing full well that his other wives might flip and chase after him, he bolted.
“Yujin!! Are you seriously—”
—Grab.
“...Shia?”
“Fox-face, let it go.”
“BUT YOU SAW HIS HANDS! He’s clearly planning to... to...!!!”
“Then maybe you should’ve gone first.”
“...Wait, Shia! You didn’t just—”
“Humph.”
“YOU TRAITOR!!!!”
Alice, stunned by Shia’s sharp comment, turned her fury toward her fellow wife.
Meanwhile...
Her insecurities melted away, replaced by a dreamy smile as she basked in his unwavering adoration.
“Well... If you like me that much, I suppose I could consider making you my husband~ But only if you promise to cherish me forever and beg for my hand in marriage!”
It was a clear acceptance.
Her feet dangled helplessly as she wavered, waiting for Yujin to make the next move.
But Yujin...
Sigh.
‘She’d really go through with it. I could take her here and now, and she wouldn’t resist. But...’
—Gentle embrace.
‘This isn’t love. She’s just being kind to me. Out of pity.’
Yujin understood Aika too well.
He knew she would do anything to help him—even if it meant giving herself to him.
But that wasn’t what he wanted.
‘No. If I asked her to help humanity, she’d strip without hesitation. This isn’t what I want.’
What he truly desired was her love.
Not as an obligation.
Not as a gesture of kindness.
He wanted her genuine feelings to match his own.
Sigh.
‘I can’t... I can’t hold her unless she loves me too. Guess I’ll have to wait.’
Yujin exhaled deeply before loosening his grip.
And then, he pulled her into a tight hug.
—Squeeze.
“...!? D-Disciple!?”
“I don’t want a one-night pity fling, Master. I want you to love me back.”
He pressed his face against her chest, golden eyes glowing softly.
“I understand you don’t see me as a man, and that’s okay. After all, I’m just a loser who uses hypnosis.”
“T-that’s not true! You’re the most amazing—”
“But I’ve tried so hard. I’ve done everything I could to become a man worthy of you.”
His voice, imbued with the power of his ability, resonated deeply within her.
“So please... Just be honest. Forget about being Master and Disciple for a moment and tell me—how much of me as a man are you willing to accept?”
—Ding.
[Skill ‘Complete Hypnosis’ is activated.]
Yujin gently lowered Aika to the ground, closing his eyes tightly.
‘I just need a sign... A kiss on the cheek will do. I just want her to see me as a man, even a little.’
Her feet finally touched the floor.
For a moment, there was silence, followed by faint footsteps.
She was walking away.
‘So that’s it... She can’t see me as anything but her Disciple...’
Tears welled in his tightly shut eyes.
But then, he heard something unexpected.
“H-hey... The one asking for permission... Shouldn’t it be me?”
“...Huh?”
The sound of fabric brushing against skin.
The quiet rustle of someone settling onto the floor.
And finally, her trembling voice.
Yujin’s eyes shot open, unable to comprehend what he was hearing.
‘Did she just... sit down? She didn’t leave?’
—Slide.
“...Then allow me, my husband... to ask permission to bear your child~♡”
“W-WHAT?!”
Kneeling before him, her clothes slipping from her shoulders, Aika’s face radiated pure, unabashed love.
The mask of the dignified sword saint had melted away, revealing her raw, vulnerable self.
For someone so deeply insecure about their age, she had finally laid her heart bare.
