Chapter 39
The lunch the three of us had started together got off to a somewhat awkward start.
“……”
“……”
Until just a moment ago, Cha Eun-joo had been sucking my cock while pretending to be hypnotized; Kim Isabel had apparently wanted to talk to me about something, but Eun-joo’s presence had made that impossible.
Since the two women, who normally would have talked among themselves just fine, were sitting in silence, I had no choice but to start the conversation.
“Ah, Eun-joo.”
“…Y-yes?!”
“You know how we took the practical exam together last time?”
“Ah, y-yeah…. W-why do you ask…?”
“Since we passed it successfully, I’ll grant one of your wishes after I’m discharged.”
“……”
The moment I brought up the subject of a wish, Cha Eun-joo’s face flushed and she lowered her head.
She was probably reacting that way because she knew why I had brought it up. Although I called it a reward for the practical exam, in reality, it was practically a reward for her giving me a blowjob.
In fact, I had already planned to grant her a wish as a reward for the practical exam even without going this far, but thanks to Cha Eun-joo giving in to me sooner than I had expected, I could use it in an even better way.
“A-a wish…. W-wait, th-that….”
“You don’t have to decide right now. You could save it for later, in case you really need something.”
“Yeah….”
Of course, in the end she would wish for something lewd. After all, I was going to make her do so.
“A wish from Mr. Lee Seonho…? That’s wonderful, Ms. Cha Eun-joo….”
“Uh, y-yeah…. Thanks, Isabel.”
“……”
“……”
…Perhaps bringing up the subject of a wish now had only made the atmosphere at the table more awkward.
Still, it was something I needed to tell her. No matter how much I was in the middle of pursuing Kim Isabel, I had no intention of giving up on Eun-joo’s training in the process.
The same went for Choi Mari and Han Sora, even though I was still in the stage of getting closer to them. A capable hunter never targets only one type of prey at a time.

After lunch, Cha Eun-joo returned home as quickly as she had yesterday, her face flushed, while Kim Isabel cleaned up after the three of us. Once again, I was left alone in the hospital room.
Alone, I looked into some training outfits and a few other tools to use on Cha Eun-joo for her full-fledged training.
‘Last time, I bought a cat cosplay outfit just by picking whatever caught my eye… but honestly, cats suit Park Hana much better than Cha Eun-joo. Cats are supposed to have that proud, feisty charm, whereas Cha Eun-joo isn’t really proud so much as deeply wary…. ’
Going by her appearance, she was more like a squirrel, but she wasn’t quite that wary, and a rabbit might suit her too. However, I had already decided to dress Kim Isabel in that.
The animals closest to her personality were probably a hedgehog or a hamster, but hedgehogs weren’t particularly cute.
‘A hamster or a squirrel. What a difficult choice.’
Should I just buy both and make her wear both? That might not be a bad idea either.
I should buy both versions of the tail as well: the kind that attaches around the waist and the anal-flag version. Later, after training her from behind as well, I couldn’t give up the pleasure of putting it in and watching her reaction.
Whips and candles could wait until I started training Choi Mari or Park Hana. Using a whip on a girl who obeyed from the start didn’t suit my tastes at all.
-Rattle.
“Oh, you’re here?”
“Yeees….”
Although the main event hadn’t even started, I was already getting ahead of myself and letting my imagination run wild when the hospital-room door opened again, and Kim Isabel entered for her afternoon treatment.
-Step, step.
“It’s time for your afternoon treatment, M-Mr. Lee Seonho….”
She no longer lingered nervously by the door. I could feel her wariness toward me rapidly decreasing by the hour.
It was still difficult to tell whether her overall wariness toward men was decreasing, or whether it was limited to me.
Ideally, she would remain completely guarded toward other men while opening herself completely to me, offering me both her mouth and her rear and welcoming me wholeheartedly. That would probably be the ideal training of a master raising sex slaves.
“Do you want to receive the buff first again?”
“…Y-yes. P-please.”
“It was five minutes earlier, right? How many minutes should we make it this time? Maybe ten—”
“Th-thirty minutes.”
“Are you sure? If we increase it that much, the shock when the buff wears off might feel a little stronger too.”
“……Yes, I’m all right with that.”
In terms of the amount of time added, it felt as though we had skipped nearly two stages at once.
Perhaps Cha Eun-joo, who had seemed to remain constantly on Kim Isabel’s mind during lunch, had influenced her. Even though I couldn’t see her expression, there had been several moments when Isabel had stared pointedly in Eun-joo’s direction without saying anything.
I stroked Cha Eun-joo’s head in my mind for always working toward my harem life, both where I could see it and where I couldn’t. Keep this up, and next time I’ll stroke your pussy too, Eun-joo.
“All right, then let’s make it thirty minutes. Like we did this morning, you’ll receive the buff first and undergo the treatment, then spend the remaining time talking with me and getting accustomed to men.”
“Y-yes….”
How much I could make Kim Isabel conscious of me as a man during these thirty minutes would become the turning point that determined the direction of my pursuit from then on.
As Kim Isabel cautiously and slowly brought herself within reach of my hand, I infused her with the ‘buff’ as usual.
「Suggestion : Heart of a Succubus ※ Target : Isabel Maria Kim」
“……”
“How is it? Did it take effect properly?”
“Yes. Thank you, as always, Mr. Lee Seonho.”
It was quite a strange sight, watching her tremble all over before becoming extremely calm the moment the suggestion took effect. For me, it was actually better, since I could enjoy both sides of her.
More importantly, what surprised me when I gave Kim Isabel the suggestion just now was that this time, she had barely resisted it even mentally.
It had taken only about half as much mana as the suggestion I gave her this morning. At this point, that meant she had acknowledged me as someone she could trust as a person, regardless of my gender.
“You haven’t been feeling uncomfortable or anything, have you? I mean, has anything gone wrong with your body from continuing to receive buffs from me?”
“Something wrong with my body…? No, I don’t think there’s anything in particular.”
“Tell me anytime if you experience any side effects. If something goes wrong, it’ll be my fault for giving you the buff.”
“No. It would be my fault for continuing to trouble you with these requests. Of course, I’ll tell you if there are any side effects, but please don’t think they would be your fault, Mr. Lee Seonho.”
“All right. It’s definitely nice seeing you talk to me so openly, Isabel.”
“…Let me begin the treatment.”
…Did she deliberately change the subject just now? Because she was embarrassed to answer?
Given Kim Isabel’s personality, she wouldn’t have intentionally ignored what I said, so the most reasonable conclusion was that she had changed the subject out of embarrassment.
‘Well, it’s still too early to make a hasty judgment.’
In fact, if I could just remove that veil, I would be able to read her emotions to some extent from the changes in her expression.
Quite apart from the strange fantasies I was having, Kim Isabel began reciting a prayer and sending holy power through my body, starting from my chest.
“Almighty Asclepius, bestow the blessings of sacred medicine upon this man’s body….”
Thanks to being treated so often, I could now recite at least the beginning and end of the prayer myself.
My physical condition had improved considerably from before. Thanks to Kim Isabel treating me three or four times a day like this, the throbbing pain had almost completely disappeared.
I should be able to have the restraints on my hands and feet loosened soon. I still didn’t want to be discharged yet, since I had a purpose left to fulfill.
I waited quietly, ready to ask her to loosen my restraints once the treatment ended this time. After Kim Isabel had diligently recited the prayer for about five minutes, the holy power flowing from her hands began to weaken little by little.
“…And so, please protect him.”
As far as I knew, that was where the prayer containing the miracle of healing ended.
Of course, a faint holy power continued to flow from the hands of Kim Isabel, a candidate for sainthood, so I could still claim that leaving her hand there counted as a ‘treatment’ if I wanted to.
However, the reason she couldn’t remove her hand from my chest right now probably wasn’t to continue the treatment, but something else.
-Fidget, fidget.
“……Ahem.”
-Rub, rub.
“……Mmm.”
She kept clenching and unclenching her right hand, which she had placed against my chest, while stealthily feeling around near my chest muscles.
She had looked like this when I saw her in the morning too, but this afternoon, Kim Isabel was a little bolder than she had been then.
Perhaps she had grown bolder because she thought she could get away with it by using the excuse that it was part of the treatment.
‘It really is impressive that she managed to hold back and pretend nothing was happening until now.’
The suggestion was originally meant to make an ordinary person who received it develop a desire to touch the nearby man, regardless of whether any physical contact had already occurred—and preferably in a lewd way.
Until now, Kim Isabel’s fear of men had merely canceled out that desire, making her seem normal. Even the slightest trigger, such as directly touching a man’s body, would inevitably cause her to fall rapidly.
Of course, if she fell too quickly, Kim Isabel would become wary once the suggestion ended, so I would have to control the pace.
-Wriggle, wriggle.
“Hh, hhaa….”
-Feel, feel.
“U-uhm….”
Little by little, Kim Isabel’s palm crept across my upper body, like a caterpillar crawling over a leaf.
Unlike in the morning, she didn’t remain near my chest, and before I knew it, she had reached my abdomen. …It was nice that my lean build made my abdominal muscles so visible at times like this.
-Rub, rub.
“Hh, hhaaah…… Ha, haa?!”
-Whoosh!
A shame, but I suppose this is as far as it goes.
If I waited just a little longer, her hand might have naturally reached my lower body, but her reason finally returned, and Kim Isabel hurriedly pulled her hand away.
If I pointed out what she had done, Kim Isabel would feel so guilty that she would never want to receive ‘Heart of a Succubus’ from me again.
She still needed to receive the suggestion several more times for me to grow closer to Kim Isabel, so this was the time to put on a shameless act.
“Haa, haa…. Haa….”
“Oh, are you finished with the treatment?”
“……Y-yes?”
“The treatment. Weren’t you continuing it just now?”
“……”
Apparently unable even to imagine that she had been groping my body for some strange purpose, she innocently asked whether the treatment was over.
In any case, if the other person didn’t feel offended, it wasn’t a crime. Just as fondling a stranger’s butt on the subway wouldn’t make someone a sexual harasser if the woman being touched happened to have the perverted taste of wanting to be groped by one.
Of course, given Kim Isabel’s personality, there was a fifty-fifty chance that she might confess that she had touched my body while having strange thoughts.
…If she didn’t want to break off our current relationship, she would probably lean toward shamelessly lying.
“…Yes. It just ended, Mr. Lee Seonho.”
“It took a little longer than usual. Was it because you had to send holy power through every part of my body?”
“…Yes. That’s why. I should have told you in advance. I’m sorry.”
“No, it’s fine. How much would a patient like me really know about it anyway? I’m sure the treatment Isabel gives me is the proper one.”
“……”
Fortunately, Kim Isabel seemed to want to maintain this relationship with me a little longer.
Whether that was simply because she didn’t want her relationship with a man named Lee Seonho to fall apart, or because ‘Heart of a Succubus’ had designated me as the object of her sexual desire, I would have to observe her a little longer to find out.
Perhaps it was simply both.
