The D-Cup Is Obsessed with Me (7)

[Title: Pink-Haired Slut Being Trained While Blindfolded Pic.JPG]

[Content: (A picture of Luina naked except for a dress shirt, blindfolded, with her nipples hard)]

I refreshed the page because I was curious what comments people would leave, but an alert popped up saying the post had already been deleted.

It was a picture with everything that needed covering covered—why would they take it down?

Maybe there were a lot of people who thought the same way I did, because the board was already in an uproar over Luina's picture.

[Title: I'm asking for the third time. Tell me what picture it was.]

[Title: Is it for real that she's gorgeous even with a blindfold? LOL]

[Title: Don't keep it to yourselves—share it, you bastards]

[Title: That fucking forum shill definitely saved it LOL]

[Title: I'll take responsibility and reupload it]

[Title: Ah, why is that fucking bastard uploading Choi Won-mi's picture?]

What a mess. Still, everyone who wanted to see it probably did.

Feeling a little lighter, I turned off the computer and went out to smoke.

“Tsk…”

My problem was solved, but… I had no intention of going back right away.

For one thing, I didn't even have enough points to buy a Pause Ticket. Besides, it had been far too long since I'd seen Sophia's face for me to go back into the romance-fantasy world again.

“At this rate, I'll forget her face too.”

It was supposed to be ‘Heroine Netori’ for earning points, but the side benefit had become more important than the main goal.

I had spent longer in the romance-fantasy world than in the standard hero story I'd chosen for my second life.

I'd only just decided that the romance-fantasy world would be my third life… but it was also true that I missed Sophia terribly after being unable to see her for so long.

I wanted to return to the standard hero story as soon as possible.

If I'd at least taken some pictures or videos of Sophia, I wouldn't have missed her this much.

Next time I enter the standard hero story, I should take a whole lot of them.

“Phew…”

Ah, now that I think about it, I did have something, didn't I?

They say that when you have no teeth, you live off your gums.

I should jerk off to a video of Sophia's auntie and go to sleep.

***

Was it because I'd gone to bed early? Or because I'd masturbated before going to sleep?

I was exhausted, but when I opened my eyes, it was the middle of the night.

I couldn't get back to sleep, so I put on my slippers and went up to the rooftop.

With a cigarette between my lips, I looked around and heard rustling beneath a broken streetlamp.

Then I heard a meow, so it must have been a stray cat.

I shouted, ‘Kitty!’ for fun, then chuckled and called up my status window.

A translucent window appeared, illuminating the pitch-black darkness.

“No matter how I think about it, it's such a shame.”

I'd spent almost five years in the romance-fantasy world.

Yet my stats were still exactly the same.

It wasn't a world without monsters, but I'd never had a chance to go hunt them.

All I did was heal, heal, and heal.

Of course, there had been some sex, sex, sex in between, but still.

If groups calling themselves the forces of evil had occasionally appeared and given me trials, I could have cleared events and grown stronger.

Unfortunately, I was a supporting character far removed from the protagonist, so naturally, no such opportunity ever came.

Still, the good thing was that I had been able to level up my skills a lot.

From Erogenous Stimulation, the first skill I acquired, to Observation, the last one I obtained, there had been genuine progress.

New abilities had been added to Erogenous Stimulation and Affection Grinding: Erogenous Stimulation could now turn pain into pleasure, while Affection Grinding could turn dislike into affection.

They were truly cheat codes… exactly what you'd expect from the best skills.

On top of that, my cooking had improved to nearly Michelin-starred-chef level, while Heal and Purification had reached a level of mastery far beyond Sophia's.

At this point, I figured I'd surpassed a B-rank healer in the real world.

Observation required mana whenever I used it, so I hadn't been able to level it up very much. Even so, I had now gained the ability to learn my target's secrets.

As you'd expect of an eye-based skill, its effect was quite overpowered, but the greater the difference in level between me and my target, the harder it was to see any effect.

That was why it didn't work on Cecilia, Luina, or Aria.

Wait, come to think of it, Aria Melts was Aria too, wasn't she?

There were two skills I hadn't been able to level up in the romance-fantasy world: the Power of Goddess Aria and the Shield of Goddess Aria.

The fact that their names were the same was… just a coincidence, right?

Anyway, since I had never been in a situation where I needed to fight, I hadn't had a chance to use either skill.

Therefore, those two skills were still the only ones at a low level.

“Still, I should be able to make C-rank at least, right…?”

Observation now let me check attack directions and weaknesses, and thanks to Heal's growth, I could fight without fearing the injuries I might suffer.

On top of that, Purification left me almost immune to status effects. If I added buff skills and blinding skills to the mix… I'd already far surpassed the level of a D-rank hunter.

“Then all that's left is time.”

To advance to C-rank, I needed to clear a certain number of D-rank dungeons.

Was it thirty? Once I cleared about that many, I'd become eligible to take the promotion exam.

From what I'd heard, the promotion exam consisted of a one-on-one battle with an instructor and a dungeon simulation, and I was confident I could handle both.

Once I got used to the skills I'd leveled up by repeatedly throwing myself into dungeons, I felt I would pass easily enough.

Therefore, the only thing left for me was the number of clears.

“I should start running D-rank dungeons today.”

***

I currently had two goals.

One was to become a C-rank hunter, and the other was to earn ‘Heroine Netori’ points.

The ultimate reason I'd set these goals was so I could spend my time in the standard hero story more comfortably and enjoyably.

It was a pretty tough place, after all. Relying on the hero alone wouldn't cut it.

Once I became a C-rank hunter, I would be able to use the hunter-only shop.

The shop I'd visited last time was for beginners, so even F-rank hunters could buy things there, but it only sold low-quality goods.

The hunter-only shop, on the other hand, sold almost every item that could be used to clear dungeons.

I planned to buy bombs there.

After experiencing one firsthand, I finally understood the appeal of bombs.

Bombs in the real world were unpopular because they had weaker firepower than skills and were difficult to handle.

Just imagine it. You have a bomb tucked against your body, and a monster happens to attack you? The bomb goes off against your body, and you die on the spot.

But bombs weren't all drawbacks. Their firepower was weak, but they came in so many varieties that they could be used in the right place for the right situation.

You could use a firebomb in a forest or a water bomb in a fire zone, for example.

But since I could use my inventory, I could offset the biggest drawback of bombs.

Besides, their firepower was only weak in the real world. In the standard hero story, it would be more than enough.

The low-quality bomb made by goblins had been that dangerous. What would happen if I set off bombs representing the pinnacle of modern chemistry, created by scientists? Just imagining it made my chest swell with excitement.

Bombs would definitely become useful wild cards and my trump cards.

And to make that happen, I needed ‘Heroine Netori’ points.

My inventory currently had only three slots. Once I excluded the smartphone I had to keep in it, only two slots remained.

At this rate, I wouldn't be able to use as many bombs as I wanted.

Reach C-rank just to throw two bombs? That was far too inefficient.

Use a Pause Ticket to restock every time I used a bomb? That was just as inefficient.

I needed to increase my slots.

Considering flashbangs, grenades, and bombs with all kinds of attributes, I needed at least ten slots,

and that would require a minimum of 30,000 points.

Therefore, I had to reach C-rank and clear ‘Heroine Netori’ to earn points before entering the standard hero story.

I really had a lot to prepare before I could see Sophia.

Still, thinking that it was all for Sophia made my motivation surge.

If I held out just a little longer, I could go see her.

-Ding…

-Knock knock, knock knock

What was that sound? Someone was looking for me before dawn?

After ending my gloomy musings, I came back downstairs and was eating a simple piece of toast when someone knocked on the front door.

Someone was even pressing the broken doorbell, which let out a feeble sound.

I hadn't ordered a delivery, so who the hell was it?

I walked toward the front door in annoyance, and a woman's voice came from outside.

“Mister! It's Hyeon-ah! Please open the door!”

Why had she come looking for me again?

More importantly, how the hell had she found my home address…?

Goosebumps rose all over my body.
