Chapter 94 Alice, Overwhelmed by Physicality (1)
Shia suddenly kissed me.
I didn’t know why she did it so suddenly, but…
At least one thing was certain.
One of my three wives, Yu Shia.
She was mine once again.
-Chuup.
“Puhuh. Did you like it that much?”
“Th-that is. Shia. Uh, it’s not that I’m weird.”
“It’s fine. I know that’s just how boys are.”
She was so considerate that she even overlooked my physiological reactions.
What an understanding. Is she an angel? I love her.
-Mumble mumble.
“But what’s that? Are all boys like this…? Ha. If I just close my eyes and ask to see it…”
She muttered something softly, so she was still embarrassed.
Because of this, I thought of the Chairman in his underwear.
Shia was embarrassed, and I was flustered. I tried to calm down using a strategic distraction.
Thanks to that, my full release was quickly soothed.
“Ah….”
“Sorry. I showed you something you shouldn’t have seen.”
“……Tsk, it’s fine. It’s because I’m too attractive.”
Finally, the awkward atmosphere slightly eased.
Shia turned her red face away quickly.
The sound of her clicking her tongue in disappointment was a bonus.
…No. That was probably just a tongue-clicking sound.
Why would Shia be disappointed?
I quickly changed the subject.
“Ahem. Shia? Just in case, I want to ask. We’re dating, right?”
“What? You fool. Why are you asking such an uncool question?”
“That’s true. Haha.”
I asked to change the subject, and just in case, her answer was positive.
My lips curled up involuntarily.
I thought it would take a year to date Shia.
But it happened in just two weeks.
I’m so happy. I love Shia the most in the world…
-Stop.
‘Wait. This isn’t the time to be happy?’
But that was short-lived.
My laughter didn’t last long.
I still had to date two more people.
And I had to get Shia’s permission for that.
What should I do?
“But… Shia. I have something to say. It’s a serious matter.”
“Hm?”
“It’s something so trashy you might dump me, something that deserves a slap, but, well, here goes.”
I opened my mouth, but it wasn’t easy to speak.
Actually, I like all three of you. I want to date all three of you.
If there was someone who could say such trashy things confidently, he would be a psychopath.
Even the Hypnotic Breeding Guy had a conscience.
But not saying it would also be unconscionable.
I forced my tongue to move and confessed.
“Actually, I….”
“Stop. Don’t say it.”
“Shia?”
No, I tried to confess.
Until Shia interrupted me.
Her frowning eyes looked up at me.
“No. Don’t tell anyone we’re dating.”
“…What?”
“Not to Alice. Not to Ninomiya. Keep it a secret. Got it?”
Her words were puzzling.
…I thought she would brag about it everywhere. But she wants to keep it a secret from the other two wives?
Yes. I have no idea why.
“Why keep it a secret?”
“I have something to check.”
“……?”
“Just something.”
I asked why, but she didn’t seem willing to answer.
I didn’t press further and just nodded.
Anyway, it was convenient for me.
“Yeah. Got it. I’ll keep it a secret.”
‘Since it’s come to this, I’ll date all three first and confess later…!!!’
Shia, you said it. If you’re going to declare a double relationship, do it confidently. Women are attracted to bad boys.
Just as Shia said. No, more than that, I’ll declare a triple relationship.
I’ll date all three first and later confess that I was seeing all three.
That was my new plan.
If I got caught in the middle, it’d be over. Even if I didn’t get caught, I’d eventually be treated like trash…
But married men all know this.
It’s easier to ask for forgiveness after doing something than to ask for permission beforehand.
Since it’s come to this, I decided to brazenly become trash.
“Yeah. But remember one thing. Your first kiss was taken by me.”
“Yeah. Got it.”
‘Since my return, Shia was the first with this body.’
Shia requested something strange…
Well. Since she took my first kiss, it must mean she wants me to do well in the future.
I’ll stake my life to make you happy, my wife.
* * *
I left Shia’s dormitory long after that.
-Churp, Chuup… Squish squish.
“……!!! Sorry!! I keep….”
“It’s fine. I don’t mind if it’s just touching my clothes.”
She didn’t let go of me, seemingly liking her first kiss.
Instead, she clung to me as if targeting my release.
If someone saw her outfit and behavior, they’d think she was a nymphomaniac.
Of course, Shia was a pure virgin.
She had a bit more knowledge than Alice or my master, who knew nothing at all, but she definitely wasn’t a pervert.
She probably thought it was fine as long as it was outside the clothes.
Really. Our Shia is so innocent. Cute. I love her.
– Squeak.
‘I should head back and rest. I’m so tired.’
After spending a happy yet embarrassing time, I headed straight to the dormitory, recalling the notification window I had seen earlier.
[Unlock condition achieved. The seal of ‘???’ is partially released. (1/3)]
[Due to partial activation of ‘??? ??? (Lv.???)’, all stats increase by 1.0.]
[Stats: Strength [6.32 (+1.12)] Agility [5.90 (+1.12)] Intelligence [4.12 (+1.00)] Luck [9.42 (+1.00)] Magic [5.86 (+1.12)]]
‘It’s only natural that there’s a rebound after such an increase. Sigh.’
The notification window showed that all my stats had increased by one. Because of this, I hadn’t been feeling well since a while ago.
Of course, I didn’t show that I was in pain, but it seemed I couldn’t fool my master.
As soon as my master saw me, he was astonished.
– Squeak.
“My disciple! I’ve been waiting… What on earth happened to you!!?”
“Master, well, you see.”
“Did you encounter some miraculous event? How did my frail disciple, who was so weak this morning, return like this after a single trip to a C-rank gate?”
He was so shocked that he immediately started speaking in the ‘-nya’ style.
It wasn’t his usual fussiness. Even the ‘Heavenly Spring Water’ only raised stats by 0.04 per day, so it was understandable that he was surprised by the sudden 25-day worth of growth in half a day.
“What on earth happened? Come on, tell me right now!”
“Well…”
– Hesitate, hesitate.
‘It’s probably because I kissed Shia, but I can’t say that.’
I couldn’t find a way to explain it.
You see, I kissed Shia, and one of the hypnotic suggestions that had been placed on me partially lifted?
Then something started pouring into my body, and I almost died. It was the most painful thing I’ve ever experienced.
What? What’s hypnosis, you ask?
It’s the mysterious hypnosis that was placed on me when I transmigrated!
Because of this, I can’t tell anyone about my transmigration, nor can I be with my wives.
If I try, I cough up blood.
Who are my wives, you ask?
Shia, Alice, and you, master!
‘Do you think I could say that? I don’t want to die.’
If I told the truth, I’d be beaten to death. No, in my current state, I might really die.
But I couldn’t just brush it off either. I had no choice but to deceive my master somehow.
“It’s thanks to my hypnosis.”
“Your stats increased because of hypnosis?”
“You know, my unique talent, EX-rank. Same level as you, master.”
“Still….”
“I did it at the beginning of the semester too. I deliberately placed myself in a life-threatening situation, used hypnosis, and then….”
“Ah, that method! My disciple is a genius!”
I managed to deceive him successfully.
…And it was true that the increase in stats was due to hypnosis.
And I really did the intense physical training at the beginning of the semester.
It was 100% the truth, and it seemed my master was convinced.
“But never do it again. You’ll die if you do it twice.”
“…Is it that serious?”
“It is. Really. Your energy channels are in tatters.”
However, I couldn’t hide the fact that I had almost crossed the River Styx. My master’s eyes were filled with pity.
I smiled to reassure him.
“Yes. I’ll never train using hypnosis again.”
– Smile.
‘Actually, the problem wasn’t the training but the kiss, and I’ll definitely do it again someday.’
Though my smile was bright, my thoughts were somewhat sinister.
* * *
Training was skipped that day. My master said I had already pushed my limits and overworked my body, so I should just rest well today.
Thanks to that, I had a sweet sleep.
– Ding.
[The skill ‘Perfect Hypnosis’ is….]
“Yawn. I slept well.”
I slept so well that my body, which had been creaking due to the sudden increase in stats, was completely healed.
It felt as if someone had given me a massage all night.
It was only natural that my steps were light as I headed for the second practical session.
“Alice, good morning!”
“Yu-jin. You seem to be in a good mood this morning.”
“My body feels incredibly light today. Maybe I’m trying to show off to you?”
“Hehe. I won’t lose today either! I’ve come fully prepared!”
Alice seemed to be in good condition too.
She even smiled at me without any tension, showing her confidence. As expected of someone experienced with gates. She didn’t even flinch at a mere C-rank gate.
Seeing my wife’s bold demeanor made me smile naturally.
“Junior, today… Oh my. Are you Alice?”
“Yes! I’m Alice Littlewood! I’m an awakened one studying abroad from England because I love Korea! Nice to meet you!”
Her polite demeanor continued even in front of the gate. She greeted everyone she met for the first time with impeccable manners.
Her flawless behavior made even the seniors smile…
– Whisper, whisper.
“Our lady is in trouble. She looks even prettier in person.”
“Look at her pale skin. Whites are different, after all.”
“Our lady isn’t small either, but….”
Huh. I thought they’d laugh, but they were whispering among themselves instead.
What’s this? Are they discriminating against foreigners?
– Murmur, murmur.
“Alice. Sorry. They’re just unfamiliar with you because you’re a foreigner. The seniors aren’t racist or anything.”
“It’s okay~ It’s not racism anyway… Hehe. If they’re already like this, it’ll be troublesome.”
“Huh?”
“It’s something like that~.”
I tried to comfort her just in case, but she didn’t care at all. She just smiled meaningfully.
What that smile meant, we realized after we transferred to the gate.
“Now, get ready for battle….”
“Yes~.”
– Shuffle, shuffle.
“…Alice!!?”
After arriving at the gate, she suddenly started taking off her clothes.
And then,
“Alice, what are you… Wait, a swimsuit?”
“Yu-jin, how do I look? Cute, right!”
“You look pretty, but why a swimsuit all of a sudden…?”
“I wore it to conquer the gate!”
“You plan to conquer the gate in that outfit?”
“Yes! Please take care of me!”
Alice declared that she would conquer the gate in a bikini.
