Chapter 127
There's a thought that often comes to mind for a 'woman' in her vigorous twenties.
The frequency of “such thoughts” increases even more for a *Forever Alone* in particular.
It's this very wish:
*Ah, I want to try sex too...*
It was unavoidable.
Unlike those with experience, the inexperienced find sex a new world. They're already at an age of vigorous vitality, but there aren't many outlets for it.
Of course, there are porn and erotic manga, but even those have their limits.
They can't help but wonder what the actual sensation is like.
Haneul Im, a girl raised with strict morals in a conservative household, was no exception.
No, rather, precisely because she had spent so much time single, she often wondered about such things.
It is the same now.
With her heavy chest resting on the desk, she continued her editing.
Suddenly, her thoughts drifted elsewhere.
Editing was a long and arduous task, so she often found herself escaping into other thoughts. She stared blankly into the *Void* for a moment, thinking.
*Damn it, if it was going to be like this, I should've been braver in college and gone out to drinking parties more often...*
As Haneul was born in *her home world*, she naturally went to college.
And a university with a fairly recognizable name, at that.
It was partly because she was smart, and partly because her parents were so pushy.
Of course, now she'd forgotten everything she learned and was just scraping by as an *Editor* in her room, but...
Anyway, she sometimes regretted those memories.
Even back then, she was a homebody who preferred her *house* to drinking parties.
Of course, there's no telling if she would have had sex even if she had socialized more.
But at least the chances would have been higher.
As she thought these thoughts, her mind completely veered off in another direction.
To *Yor*, the only *man* she knew, even if he was just an *NPC* in a game.
Moreover, his looks were superior to any other *man's* she had ever seen, so she couldn't help but be interested.
Lost in thought, she naturally navigated to the folder containing *Yor*'s photos. He had quite a few revealing pictures.
He always fought in thin clothes without armor.
His clothes often got damaged. Haneul had many thoughts looking at his exposed body.
Just by looking, I can tell his muscles are incredibly well-trained. They are not overwhelmingly large either. So, what would they feel like to touch?
*What about his scent, up close? What would his body temperature be like?*
What would he be like at night? Would he really be shy, like those lustful tales circulating?
*...And what about his *Lower Body*?*
Of course, she knew she sounded like a pervert for thinking such things.
There were times she felt guilty, thinking it was quite vulgar.
But it wasn't easy to stop the imaginative flight that had already been triggered.
Rather, that sense of immorality only fueled her sexual desire further.
As she zoned out for a long time, Haneul's *Lower Body* slowly began to itch.
She couldn't help but ponder for a moment.
*“Ah, damn it. Should I relieve myself once before I start working...?”*
And then it happened.
Haneul's system alert sounded. Haneul, feeling a slight annoyance, picked up her device to check the message.
She saw a message from *Chaerin*.
[Haneul, do you happen to be free one night the week after next?]
We might stay up all night, so clear your schedule for tomorrow as much as possible.
If you come to the appointment, extra pay is totally possible.
“?”
Haneul tilted her head first.
Her surprise at the sudden message lasted only a moment.
Haneul readily accepted *Chaerin*'s request soon.
After all, she had nothing to do at home but play games and edit, and more importantly, she sensed a certain desperation in *Chaerin*'s request.
“Thank you so much! Phew... you saved me.”
She couldn't tell what the desperation was about.
*Chaerin* had refused to explain, saying Haneul wouldn't understand even if she did...
So Haneul had to accept *Chaerin*'s *Gratitude* without knowing why.
Two weeks passed quickly.
There were no special schedules, nor had any *Demon* appeared.
The place *Chaerin* took Haneul was a rather familiar path. It was the road leading to *Yor*'s *Cave*, though it was her first time coming at night.
Indeed, the scenery seen during the day and the *Forest* scenery at night were vastly different.
Unlike the daytime, which had an almost dreamlike quality, the night was so dark you couldn't see an inch in front of you.
This was because the leaves blocked all the moonlight coming from the *sky*.
And coincidentally, it was a new moon tonight, so there was virtually no moonlight at all.
...Haneul, you won’t be able to see, so follow closely behind me.
That was also why *Chaerin* had come along today.
Unlike her, Haneul, who didn't have *Special Sense*, would surely get lost before even reaching the *Cave*.
To be honest, *Chaerin* had planned to abandon Haneul today and escape... no, to slip away.
Even so, she felt a bit burdened by the idea of a threesome.
And it was clear that Haneul would find it awkward if someone else joined from the start.
Besides, she also wanted Haneul to experience her hardships a bit...
Actually, that last reason was the biggest.
“Are we here because of *Yor*'s *Berserk State*?”
As they walked for a long time, Haneul uttered a question that was half-correct.
Haneul's face, glimpsed through *Special Sense*, was filled with worry. It was worry for *Yor*.
In a way, it was a natural reaction. Haneul had only ever briefly seen Berserk State A.
She had never seen *Berserk State B*, where a person turns into a beast, nor did she even know it existed.
*Chaerin* nodded lightly.
“Yeah, I don’t have time today. I think Haneul needs to stay with him...”
Chaerin decided to keep the 'B' part a secret for now. Haneul would find out soon enough anyway.
However, Haneul showed a moment of weakness first. For a girl raised with strict morals like her, the situation itself was quite awkward.
“But will it be okay? Even so, going to a strange man's house in the middle of the night...”
“Then Haneul, are you going to leave him alone tonight?”
At that, Haneul shook her head as if to say no.
It's so dark... how could he endure it alone?
Haneul knew how much a simple environmental factor like darkness could affect a person's psyche.
Thinking of him enduring pain all alone in such darkness... she truly felt sorry for him.
Even if he had holy water, it was still true.
Therefore, Haneul followed *Chaerin* without another word.
Someone was unaware that *Chaerin* was subtly tense, perhaps because of the dark night.
After walking for a few minutes, they eventually arrived near the *Cave* where he lived.
*Hoo-wook... Hoo-woo...*
Perhaps because it was a quiet night, rough breathing echoed faintly from beyond the *Cave*.
Haneul heard it and thought, *'He must be in a lot of pain...'*.
As they stood there for a moment, *Chaerin* suddenly spoke.
“Well then, Haneul, I’ll be going now.”
“Now? You’ve come all this way; why don’t you go in and at least see his face?”
Since it was her first time coming at night, Haneul tried to go in with her.
But it was already too late.
“*Kamui*!”
*Pah!*
Chaerin had logged out faster.
“Ah...”
Haneul, left all alone, wore a momentarily blank expression.
But that was only for a moment; after taking a short, deep breath, she immediately entered the *Cave*.
No, she tried to enter.
“*Yor*, are you... Kyaaak—!?”
*Hwaak!*
But before that, something came out and pounced on her faster.
*
The biggest characteristic of *Berserk State B* is this:
A person becomes very emotional and impatient.
They get annoyed and aroused repeatedly by trivial things.
It is the same now.
When *Chaerin* didn't show up at the appointed time, I couldn't help but feel annoyed at first.
*Tsk, I clearly told her to come before sunset...*
But she didn't come even as the *Berserk State* set in.
From then on, my emotions slowly began to surge.
First, my body was heating up, so I took off my upper clothes. The weather was quite chilly then, but it wasn't enough to cool down all the heat from the *Berserk State*.
When she comes, I'll have to scold her first.
I thought that and took a moment to catch my breath.
Fortunately, the wait wasn't too long. Footsteps were soon heard from the *Cave Entrance*.
I didn't hesitate and immediately lunged at my *opponent*.
“Kyaaak—?!”
And I couldn't help but be surprised right away.
I lunged, expecting *Chaerin*, but Haneul was suddenly in front of my eyes.
Even though it was a *Berserk State* where desires and emotions intensified, it didn't mean my rationality completely vanished.
I first got up and released her.
For a very brief moment, her ample breasts peeked out from above her loose robe, but I managed to endure it with superhuman patience.
Then I asked her.
“What brings you here? What are you doing here in the middle of the night?”
I was no different from a beast with rampant sexual desires.
I was still a *human* who knew proper conduct, to some extent.
The reason I hadn't laid a hand on her large breasts until now was that I had already been with *Chaerin*.
It wasn't like *Chaerin* and I were dating, but I couldn't just indiscriminately lay my hands on someone.
Especially with Haneul, who had a deep connection with *Chaerin*, I was even more cautious.
If I messed up, their relationship could break.
That was something I didn't want either.
But of all times, she had to come during the most dangerous *Berserk State*...
As I was thinking this, Haneul said something unexpected.
“Well, *Chaerin* said you’d have a hard time enduring it alone..., so I came.”
“Oh, really? Then where is she?”
“Well... she was here until a moment ago. But she said she was busy and left...”
Saying that, Haneul had a somewhat dumbfounded expression.
Hearing that much, I realized something inwardly.
*That brat sold Haneul...*
She had been showing signs of struggling recently, and she finally ran away.
Like a dealer bringing a new offering to a *pimp*.
Saying it like this makes it sound a bit off, but... that's what happened.
I never thought she'd escape like this. I almost got annoyed for a moment, perhaps because of the *Berserk State*...
But as I thought about it, it was a good situation for me.
Who would refuse such a situation?
“More importantly, are you okay? I heard it’s really painful when the new moon rises...”
As I was thinking to myself, Haneul asked me.
I wasn't in pain, but I told her this anyway.
“...It hurts.”
“Oh. R-really? Where?”
“My *Lower Body*.”
Haneul's eyes followed my words and briefly looked downwards. For a moment, my bare upper body was reflected in her eyes.
A flicker of desire appeared in her eyes.
But that was only for a moment; the timid girl blushed and averted her gaze.
Regardless, I did what I had to do.
I wrapped my arm around her waist and pulled her towards me for a moment.
For a moment, her lower abdomen and my *Lower Body* touched.
“E-ehh. Wait...”
Perhaps realizing the unfamiliar sensation against her lower abdomen, she widened her eyes and flinched.
I looked into her eyes and asked.
“This area is throbbing. Could you help me with it?”
Haneul's dark pupils began to tremble violently.
