A little while later, everyone sitting around the platform had a warm bowl in their hands.
Steam curled up from the red broth.
It was a hot pot packed with generously cut wild boar, gaping clams, and plump shrimp.
Normally, we would have been grateful for even a few pieces of meat, but today the ingredients were on a whole different level.
"This is wild boar and seafood gochujang hot pot. Enjoy."
"Thanks for the meal."
"Ah, since you two have been hungry for a while, start with this to settle your stomachs."
The first bowls given to Miryeong and Yuna weren't filled with the red hot pot, but with clear clam broth set aside before the gochujang was added.
There were also a few pieces of finely shredded boar meat and tender, cooked clam meat.
"Luka, you too."
"Why? Luka's stomach is fine."
"Luka, can you handle spicy food?"
"No problem! Luka can eat super-spicy ramen just fine!"
Luka insisted on eating what I was having, so she accepted a bowl of hot pot with red broth and sat snugly beside me.
"Hehe. Oppa, let's eat together!"
I scooped up a spoonful of broth first.
Miryeong and Yuna had been watching us, but once I picked up my spoon, they started eating, too.
They blew on it a couple of times, then carefully brought it to their mouths.
Mmm!
The first flavor to hit me was, of course, the gochujang.
A salty, faintly sweet flavor spread across my tongue.
Then came a rich, heavy meatiness.
The richness and weight of the pork fat seemed to wash away all the exhaustion from today.
"How's the broth? Is it spicy enough?"
"It's delicious."
For a Korean, it was just a mild, pleasant flavor, but we hadn't had any spicy umami at all lately, so it was incredibly moving.
The Assistant Manager had probably adjusted the spice level with the foreigners in our camp in mind, too.
"Hek, hek, Oppa. It's spicy."
Luka, who'd claimed she could handle spicy food, stuck her tongue out and panted like a puppy.
"You think this is spicy?"
"I know, right? Is it spicy?"
"Uu, uuh. Koreans are weird! You don't even know this is spicy!"
Seoyun laughed and handed her some clear clam broth she'd set aside.
"Use this to cool down, Luka."
"Huweh, th-thank you."
I picked up a thick piece of meat with my chopsticks.
The wild boar meat was glossy, its surface coated in red sauce.
When I bit down, I felt a firm resistance at first.
It wasn't soft and mushy from being boiled to death; they'd seared the outside.
With a little more pressure, it parted softly along the grain.
Every time I chewed, hot broth seeped from the meat, making me feel full to the very core.
"Does it smell gamey?"
"It's fine. The meatiness is still strong, but there's hardly any unpleasant smell."
"Manager Han Jia helped. She said it'd be much better if we blanched it once before stir-frying it."
"Hoho."
Our behind-the-scenes helper, Manager Han Jia.
When she was mentioned, she shyly smiled and made a peace sign with one hand.
Miryeong and Yuna took one bite, then dug in as if they were about to bury their faces in their bowls.
Even when the hot food burned the roofs of their mouths, they didn't let up, eagerly shoving meat into their mouths.
"It's so delicious…! Hahuu, I'm going to cry."
She's already crying, though… Miryeong…

"We've never eaten anything like this since we got here. Thank you so much."
They must have been so hungry.
Seoyun watched the two college girls fondly and said,
"There's plenty, so take your time."
Luka seemed to have calmed down with the clear clam broth. She enjoyed her meal, holding a huge clam to her small mouth and nibbling on it.
A dinner full of springy shrimp, chewy clams, and hearty pork.
After eating their fill, Yuna and Miryeong sniffled and cried.
It seemed they couldn't help thinking about the hard times they'd gone through.
Hm, was it that moving?
The Assistant Manager and Manager were sad enough on my behalf, so I didn't really feel much.

"Husband…"
Miryeong came over and sat beside me.
This is bad.
Judging by that look in her eyes, she sees me as her prince through and through.
"What? If you're coming over to Oppa, you should greet your senior first."
Luka clung to my arm, wary of the new Korean girl.
Thanks to that, I ended up in a strange position, with Luka on my left and Miryeong on my right.
Miryeong tilted her head.
"Luka says she's your senior, so she wants you to greet her."
"Ah…"
Miryeong stood up and politely bowed.
"Hello, Senior. I'm Miryeong. Baek Miryeong. I look forward to getting along with you."
"She says, 'Nice to meet you, Senior Luka.'"
"Hehe, you know how to behave~♡ You're approved! The Queen recognizes her junior."
Luka's mood improved right away.
They're both so cute.
Seoyun was talking with Yuna.
"You two seemed really hungry. Wasn't there any food nearby?"
"There was a place where edible grass grew, but it wasn't enough to fill us up…"
"Edible grass?"
Seoyun and I exchanged a glance.
That was exactly what we'd been looking for.
"We were looking for something like that. Could you tell us where it grows?"
"Oh, yes!"
Yuna nodded readily.
"Is that useful information?"
"Of course! It's incredibly useful."
"That's a relief. I'll tell you everything we know. I can even show you the way!"
"Then, Woojin, let's go together tomorrow."
……
"Mr. Woojin?"
I dodged the question.
"Honestly, Mr. Woojin. You'll help anyway."
Seoyun was using her cute voice to make my help a foregone conclusion!
Eek!!
"Would you two like to stay here tonight?"
"Yes. If there's anything we can do to help, we'll do it."
"Yes! Please let me stay with Yuna."
Their stay was settled.
While the women chatted, I rolled around on the platform, full from dinner.
I worked way too hard today…
"Mr. Woojin, good work today."
Just then, Seoyun came over like a superior who hadn't forgotten my efforts and wanted to commend me.
"…You worked harder than usual, didn't you?"
As expected, the meticulous Assistant Manager had noticed.
That Kim Woojin had been hustling more than usual!
"Maybe it's thanks to you, Assistant Manager. You let me suck your armpit again, too… Mmph, mmph."
The Assistant Manager hurriedly covered my mouth and glanced at the college girls.
"Mr. Woojin~! There are ears around…"
"But it's true."
"…Good grief."
Seoyun sat beside me, running her hand over the now much larger platform.
"Mr. Woojin. It's almost bedtime. Could you do a little more for me?"
"Do what?"
"I think we should put up a partition on the sleeping platform…"
"A partition?"
"I mean… a screen."
The Assistant Manager was asking me to divide the platform into men's and women's sections.
In other words, one place for the men to sleep and another for the women.
It was an entirely reasonable request.
"I liked sleeping with you, Assistant Manager."
"Anyone who hears that will get the wrong idea! We've only slept together because we had no choice. Don't make it sound like we did it because I liked it!"
"I'm joking."
Hmph. I liked sleeping with her pressed up against me…
Now that we had someone new, I should do what needed to be done.
"All right. I'll make one."
"Please!"
This was my last task of the day.
I drove wooden posts into the ground beside the platform and attached crossbeams to them.
Seoyun spread a wide waterproof sheet over the crossbeams and let it hang down.
It wasn't a thick, opaque tarp, but a milky-white polyethylene sheet.
"We happened to have something suitable."
"I brought it from the two girls' camp today. Hmm, this should work as a temporary partition."
I could make out the women on the other side as hazy silhouettes.
……Isn't this kind of sexy?
Just then, Manager Han Jia's silhouette showed through as she changed clothes, looking rather erotic, so Seoyun cleared her throat and blocked my view with her body.
"It's a little see-through, but… I'll reinforce it tomorrow when it's light out."
"Leaving it like this seems fine. Wouldn't it just get hot if it were too thick?"
"Hmm, maybe."
Thanks to the Assistant Manager's generous decision, the silhouettes remained visible.
"I worked overtime, too. Don't I get anything?"
"Is there something you want? Should I give you more food?"
I stared at Seoyun's chest.
"……Do you like this that much?"
"Come on, Assistant Manager."
Shamelessly, I lay down on the platform and called the Assistant Manager over.
The Assistant Manager crossed her arms and looked down at me, seeming a little pissed off.
"Mr. Kim Woojin?"
"Can't I…?"
I dejectedly started to sit up.
Then Seoyun, unable to watch me anymore, pushed my shoulders down and climbed on top of me.
"Ooh."
"Good grief. Lie down. Lie down. I'll do it for you, so don't make that dejected face."
"Yippee!"
Haa, haa…
The big-breasted Assistant Manager Kang Seoyun was sitting on top of me?!
It felt completely different from when she was standing.
The Assistant Manager leaned her weight against me and pressed her breasts to my face.
Feeling the warmth of Seoyun's chest, I reached out with both hands and kneaded her butt.
Oh, o-oh, overtime pay… This is amazing!!
"What will the new members think if they see this?"
"Uuung. Uuung. They'll think we're really close, I guess?"
I answered while suckling on her breasts.
The Assistant Manager, looking a little annoyed, buried my face in her chest and rubbed herself against me.
"Uuung! Chuup. Chuup."
I actually liked it even more!!
The Assistant Manager rubbing her breasts against my face with a slightly pissed-off expression.
I buried my face between her breasts, breathed in her scent, and sucked on her nipples.
While feeling the warmth of the Assistant Manager as I hugged her as tightly as I wanted, I kneaded her butt with my hands.
The Assistant Manager stroked my head and whispered in my ear.
"Good job, Mr. Woojin. Thank you for today, too♡"
Shiver, shiver.
Late at night, Assistant Manager Kang Seoyun gave me a tender, relaxed ASMR session.
If the service was this good, I might be willing to go back to being a magical civil engineer.
So this was how I got trained.
When the Assistant Manager decided to do something, she really followed through.
That's why I liked her so much.
I kneaded Seoyun's butt as much as I wanted, and sucked on her armpit and breasts, too.
"Huut♡ Mm♡ Is this enough for you?"
"It's more than enough. I love it."
"Good grief♡ You like it that much? You have a cute side to you, Mr. Woojin."
To think the day would come when I got to hear her call me cute while I was buried in her arms.
I'm happy!
I'm glad I became a wizard!
Becoming a wizard hadn't been what I wanted, but in the end, everything worked out.
I rubbed my stiff, erect cock against the Assistant Manager's body and hugged her persistently.
The Assistant Manager gently rubbed my backside, stimulating my cock, too.
"Mm."
Just then, I sensed someone nearby, and the Assistant Manager's expression stiffened.
I raised my head and saw Luka and Manager Han Jia sneak a glance before moving on, apparently startled.
The Assistant Manager's face was red, and her eyes were slightly moist.
"Haa… I feel like I'm taking part in the camp's moral decline now, too."
"It's too late for that, Assistant Manager. Hehe."
"Oh, honestly… Here, just suck on my breasts. There."
Chuup. Chuup. Chuup.
I suckled while cuddling up to the Assistant Manager.
"Do you know what Luka's face looked like just now? 「I knew you were like that too, Unni. Pfft.」"
"I didn't know you'd do this for me, Assistant Manager."
"Ugh… That's enough. No need for useless commentary. You're saying Kang Seoyun's old temper has completely disappeared, right?"
"I like the Kang Seoyun you are now even more…"
Seoyun flinched and her butt quivered.
"Ugh… When you say things like that while clinging to me, I…"
Rub, rub…
I rubbed my hard cock against her while suckling at her breasts, leaving them wet.
Seoyun happily rested her weight on top of me and accepted my fondling her breasts.
This feels good…
"Eek!"
I hugged the Assistant Manager and suddenly rolled to the side.
Seoyun ended up beneath me, her legs spread wide as I climbed on top of her.
Seoyun squirmed, unsure what to do.
"Ah, Mr. Woojin…!"
Ah, this isn't right.
Realizing that the Assistant Manager was a little scared, I moved aside.
"I'm sorry."
"……Phew."
We waited for our excited chests to calm down in the night breeze.
Seoyun straightened her rumpled hair and clothes, then cleared her throat.
"You've really been pent up, haven't you? You even pounced on a mean boss like me?"
It seemed like she was deliberately trying to lighten the mood with a joke.
Honestly, I appreciated it.
"You're the best boss now, though."
"You're off watch tonight, Mr. Woojin, so get some good sleep. We'll go exploring together tomorrow."
"Should I?"
"…Should you? That's not an answer."
Gasp.
"All right."
I tried to answer in my usual flexible Kim Woojin way, but her gaze scared me into scraping together whatever scraps of social skills I had left.
Seoyun smiled shyly, looking satisfied.
"Good night, Mr. Woojin."
So tonight I'd fall asleep by myself.
Hm? It was surprisingly nice not having to worry about the person beside me.
I missed the warmth that was always pressed up against me, but having a quiet, spacious place to myself wasn't bad at all.
Just then.
From beneath the platform, Geumdduk slowly rose into view.
Beneath a pair of pink eyes curved playfully like crescents, a mouth was already set in a mischievous grin.
With Detection magic, I could see Luka's whole body clearly.
Luka had come to pounce on me.
"Oppa~♡ You felt lonely without Luka, right?"
Luka slipped into my blanket and peeked her head out.
She smiled cutely, as if she wanted me to praise her for coming to see me.
"Luka, aren't you on the late watch tonight?"
"Luka took a long nap, so she's got plenty of energy."
Luka planted her thigh on me, then slowly climbed on top.
"Since Kang Unni doesn't do it properly anyway, Luka will do it for you♡"
Luka's weight settled softly on top of me.
Now that we'd put up a flimsy partition, had she gotten even bolder?
Luka wrapped her arms around my neck as if to show off, then kissed me.
Smooch…
I hugged Luka and kissed her.
