Chapter 99
As I massaged Choi Si-woo's body over and over, Reina and Han Soo-ji made dissatisfied expressions.
"Hey, why are you only hugging Si-woo?"
"Yeah, what about us?"
Are they seriously getting mad at me right now?
The nerve of them saying that. I glared at Ray and Han Soo-ji.
Though I avoided the snake soup last night, in the end I was thoroughly violated by these two, so Yong-yong is very sad.
"My tail has become as slick as a snake's tail. Need I say more? Reina, Miss Han Soo-ji?"
My tail is still stiff like a cat's tail standing straight up. This is all because of you two.
"Well then, is it self-study time now?"
"You're thinking something weird again, aren't you?"
"What? Why do you always look at me suspiciously?"
You don't seriously think I'm going to try escaping from the Academy or something?
"Because you're a pervert."
"But this time is different."
Because this time I absolutely need to get that healer Rosaria too.
Do you know how strong Rosaria is? She has the insane healing power to instantly heal tens of thousands of scattered Hunter Alliance troops on the battlefield.
I tried to corrupt a woman like that.
"Um, I have a question."
"Yes Kotone?"
Wonder why Kotone is looking for me.
Kotone subtly pointed towards Rosemary. By the way, Rosemary looks completely dead right now.
Ah. That Rosemary is a doll. Not the real body, just saying.
"Why is Miss Rosemary like that? Even wearing gloves in this hot weather."
Why are you asking me?
Looking carefully at Kotone, it doesn't seem to have any special meaning.
Maybe she just thought Rosemary and I looked close? It wouldn't be good to be suspicious and question it right? Let me just make something up.
"Oh good instincts. Rosemary has awakened."
"Awakened? You mean when unique abilities evolve?"
"Yeah."
As long as she doesn't leak demonic power and doesn't do anything crazy, there's no way anyone would find out Rosemary is a mutant.
Honestly she could come in her real body. The doll's handles can be explained by the awakening too.
"How is that possible. Ah, could it be. The cause of awakening."
As if realizing something, Kotone snapped her fingers and seemed to understand something on her own.
What's this? Has she gone stupid? What's with that overly innocent reaction?
"What?"
"Nothing."
Grinning while staring at me intently, Kotone turned around and went back to her seat.
Like Ping Tao, they're both quite well-behaved today.
Kotone is a bit suspicious but whatever.
Anyway, what's urgent now is Song-do. Need to gather the heroines and come up with countermeasures.
*slurp*
"Haahng♥"
But first, I licked Si-woo's neck. This damn bitch. Becoming Lust and even her personality changing makes me so fucking horny.

The rooftop of Hanseong Academy is off-limits to students.
Because various things are prepared on the rooftop to defend against monster attacks. But who am I? Baby Yong-yong. I'm a dragon who does what I want.
So I had Lee Yoo-jeong, who I haven't met much lately, monitor people approaching the rooftop through the magic gear installed in the school.
For example, people from the Student Council.
And I gathered the heroines on that rooftop.
"But haven't we barely seen you lately, senior?"
"Well that's because I've been holed up in the penthouse?"
Wow, were they avoiding me?
"I want to rub."
"Ah, but I'm satisfied these days?"
"What?"
"I monitor the whole penthouse you know. Of course I see everything when you guys suck and lick and scissor. Naturally I take care of it all through masturbation."
I didn't miss Lee Yoo-jeong's sleepy expression suddenly turning lewd.
"Unnie. That kind of taste."
Even Han Soo-ji, the axe murderer who enjoys killing people, was shocked.
"But what's with Si-woo looking like that? Really looks like a female."
"Well that's because I am female."
"Must be humiliating if your male self saw this."
"My past self was just an idiot. Having this kind of body but not using it would be a waste, right?"
Choi Si-woo spoke in an excited voice while groping her breasts with both hands.
Well what can you do? She became female. Those words are 100% correct.
Now then, time to plan some treason.
"Looking at the articles, the news has already spread to all the guilds. We need to come up with some countermeasures."
"Will the Guild Masters move too?"
At this level, they probably will. 5 billion won isn't pocket change.
"Well for now the Guild Masters don't know the details, so they'll probably see this as a chance to subjugate villains."
Makes sense since this is a chance to cross the barrier.
"If the Guild Alliance attacks..."
"All the golems could be destroyed."
This is bad. We lack fighting power. Even if Si-woo makes the students into mutants, today's guilds are on a whole other level.
"Should we try something with the villains across the country?"
"We've already put all the useful ones from Incheon underground. Maybe target villains further south?"
Yeah. That's not a bad idea but.
"Can they beat Yoo Jin-seok's generation?"
"No way."
Like local villains could beat forces that were active in the original work.
We can't even guarantee getting them into our forces quickly. If we had large numbers we could use human wave tactics but. What if Shinohara gets involved?
South Korea is different from the late Joseon period so we won't get caught by Japan, but from the moment Shinohara helps Ha Jeong-seok, we'll face interference in building up forces against Sin.
"Then what about hiding?"
"That would be hard too. If they keep searching, they'll realize Song-do is the only place in the Korean Peninsula where Baekhwa could be keeping survivors. They probably already know."
If that happens, foreign attention will turn to Song-do too.
"Then fighting back is the model answer?"
"Guess so."
"So we're going to fight? The First Divine Sword might be there too?"
Yoo Jin-seok? Yoo Jin-seok won't come.
"I don't think Yoo Jin-seok will come? He should know that attacking Song-do isn't right."
Since he met me, Baekhwa, he can't attack me. That guy is literally a protagonist character. He won't take the wrong path.
"Then the guilds are the problem?"
"The Association won't just tell the guilds to catch us either. They might just put on a show. The problem is Ha Jeong-seok."
The Association at least has Choi Cheol-sik who's a smart guy.
He must have heard things from Yoo Jin-seok, and Seo Ji-yeon probably explained some too.
"Why Ha Jeong-seok?"
"First there's a good chance Nolbu and Heung-boo will come. He might even move Shinohara. Looking at how he reacts to Baekhwa, seems that way."
If Shinohara Kotone participates directly it gets annoying.
Even if she doesn't fight at Sky Sword level and only uses White Sword level, Song-do's mutants will all die.
Even if I plant chaos in Kotone, it won't work right away. If I have to fuck her, I'd need to make her team kill, but planting that much chaos would break the mind of even a heroine-level person.
What I planted in Seo Ji-yeon was probably just a bit of doubt.
"If it's Shinohara."
"Japanese Hunters might participate too."
"What is this, the Donghak Peasant Revolution? Why Japan? No way right?"
Han Soo-ji flared up. Choi Si-woo shook her head.
"Ha Jeong-seok doesn't trust the Association. So even if he has the guilds attack us, he plans to bring in new forces."
Si-woo's deduction is spot on.
Si-woo probably doesn't know the details since she was the original protagonist and didn't read the novel, but in reality Ha Jeong-seok tried to maintain his regime by connecting with Japan's Shinohara.
"But even Shinohara won't get directly involved. Since Shinohara wants to have a good relationship with Ha Jeong-seok first. She won't want to expose Shinohara's image in a way that would damage Ha Jeong-seok's image."
Then she'll probably participate just enough not to be caught by Ha Jeong-seok.
At worst, only Shinohara's retainers might participate.
Japanese Hunters. The special forces under Shinohara are the problem.
Shinsengumi. The cream of the crop among Japanese Hunters. In Japanese it's Shinsengumi. Following the Shinsengumi who fought on the Bakufu side against the imperial faction during the Edo period, Shinohara established this group.
The current Shinsengumi serve and protect Shinohara's head of family, living up to the name of their predecessors.
Simply put, just think of them as Shinohara's special forces.
"Then she might move the Shinsengumi."
"Shinsengumi?"
"They're the special forces that protect Shinohara."
Special forces are scary no matter what country.
South Korea fundamentally has strong guilds.
Just like how they had global corporations, Korea's guilds now dominate the world too.
"Scary huh?"
"They're all picked from A-rank or higher Hunters, and they never slack on training so they're probably close to S-rank in skill."
The Shinsengumi are actually why Shinohara is called the Shogunate. There are even rumors they're Japan's greatest fighting force, and that force serves Shinohara.
"Song-do's current villains can't catch them?"
"The Shinsengumi's deployment isn't set in stone yet. We're still at the observation stage. Ha Jeong-seok wouldn't negotiate with Shinohara to deploy the Shinsengumi for something that doesn't require it."
Ha Jeong-seok is an unpredictable person.
He joins hands with Shinohara to maintain power. Conversely, he might absolutely refuse to bring in Japan in order to maintain power.
After the Great Cataclysm, relationships improved between even enemy nations due to humanity's common foe.
But while not as much as before, Koreans still hated receiving help from Japan even if they would help Japan.
Looking at the Hunter Alliance, there still seems to be old grudges between Korean and Japanese Hunters, but it's better than China who still claims they're the best even with the world in chaos.
Probably Ha Jeong-seok, who wants to maintain power that badly, won't deliberately do anything that might get caught by the Association.
"What if the Shinsengumi or Kotone come directly?"
"There's something you don't know. The Shinsengumi are mostly women. Female agents are better than male ones for espionage missions and making enemies let their guard down."
Imagining the Shinsengumi going "Yamete!" and moaning in front of me makes me drool.
