Chapter 372 – New Year’s Resolution (2)

Time passed like that, and the next morning.

We woke up completely after taking a bath and eating, so it became vague to go back to bed.

We concluded an agreement to spend time together watching a movie or a movie until the clothes of the two of us were dry.

These days, it’s an era where you can connect Webflix to your TV and watch it.

Just two weeks after its release, we connected the latest action movie uploaded to Webflix, and we sat side by side on the sofa in the living room and watched the movie leisurely.

After sitting in front of the TV for three hours and talking about various things, the morning of the next day began to dawn.

“This is the movie that her sister said she wanted to see the other day. This is definitely enough to make the reservation competition fierce~”

“It was such a fun movie that I could feel interest even if I hadn’t seen the previous film, brother.”

“I’m just glad it suits your tastes.”

I thought I’d be able to watch Project Blackout, which I didn’t see when I was dating Han Min-ah the other day, with their younger sisters.

It was definitely an enjoyable enough movie to pass the time like an action movie. Even the twist at the end was quite interesting.

In the meantime, the clothes they had laid out were completely dry, so the two of them changed from wearing a T-shirt to the hunter clothes they originally wore.

A little early in the morning, I said goodbye to two people at the front door.

“Well, let’s go then, oppa.”

“… I really owe you a lot today, brother.”

“Yes, you must be tired, but hurry up and get some rest.”

Not only did he hunt monsters all night long in the dungeon, but he must have been tired again from mixing with me at home.

Going home early would be a way for both of them to rest comfortably.

It was said that sex with me relieved the estrous period itself, but that did not mean that the fatigue of the body was also relieved.

“Right, brother.”

“Huh.”

“I heard from your sister the other day, that you are a hunter belonging to the same company as your brother and sister?”

“Yeah, it is.”

“Then next time you go to work, let’s go out with us! Huh?”

Just before leaving the front door, Jin-ah sends a proposal to go party hunting together next time.

Looking up at me with bright eyes and talking, it was an offer that was hard to refuse in my own way.

I wondered if Seon-ah was thinking the same thing, so I tried my luck.

“Sunah, do you want to go to a party with me too?”

“… Personally, I also thought it would be nice if I could spend more time with my older brother at work.”

“Seon-ah is good too! Let’s make a party together next time, okay?”

“… I am grateful for her heart, but it might be difficult.”

He was looking at me with such an expectant expression, so to be honest, I wanted to respond as much as I wanted to.

Apparently, there was one crucial issue that made it impossible for the two of us now to form a party.

“Why why?!”

“Tell me the reason, brother.”

“I also want to make a party with you and go in, but I feel like a chimney… Are you all D-class hunters now?”

“Huh.”

“What does that have to do with it?”

“Because I am a B-class hunter. Even so, I wondered if it would be a little difficult to make a party with a difference of two steps.”

In fact, the company also said that it does not recommend parties with hunters with a large difference in rank.

I wonder if there is at least one other C-class Hunter in the middle. A D-class, especially a new hunter, me and a party made up of two people would probably be accompanied by various restrictions in the company.

Like the limit level of the dungeon that can be entered, or the final performance ratio of achievements, etc.

“Uh, huh? Oh, my brother is a B-class… ?”

“Huh. Didn’t you know?”

“… I know that the limit for male hunters is C, so I thought that my older brother would probably be C or D, so…”

“I thought so too… ?”

“…”

Well, the image of a male hunter in this world is usually something like this.

Because of the inherent limitation of being unable to awaken, it is generally accepted that the highest rank for male hunters is C.

In the first place, I hadn’t even told them that I had awakened yet.

The last thing the two of them remember is probably all of my high school days, so it was understandable enough for them to think of me as a C-class or lower hunter.

“I haven’t told you guys yet, but for now, I’m also an awakened Hunter.”

“… Uh?”

“… Brother, you said you had your abilities awakened?”

“Huh. Like this.”

– Hurray.

I let them know that I was an Awakener by making a fist-sized fireball on the palm of my hand and showing it to them.

There must be no other way to show one’s abilities as intuitively and simply as fire magic.

The faces of the two people facing the fireball I created in the palm of my hand were dazed as if they saw something they shouldn’t have seen.

As a result, I inadvertently figured out that Jin-ah’s finger was entering my magic one turn late.

“Oh, it’s hot… !!”

“Little sister?!”

“What, what are you doing, Jina!”

As if possessed by something, Jin-ah Han put her finger in the fireball I was holding and burned it as if to show off.

I and Suna were surprised by the action, and after extinguishing the fireball she made in her hand in a hurry, I approached Jina who was holding her finger in tears.

“Jinah, what are you doing now?! Why put her finger in the fire all of a sudden?!”

“Go, suddenly there’s a fire in her brother’s hand, it’s strange! Of course, I thought it was a trick or something!”

“Anyway, for that reason, I suddenly took her finger…”

Being a male Awakener itself must be hard to believe, but no matter how hard I thought I would put my fingers in the roaring flames.

I couldn’t tell if she was brave or ignorant, so I grabbed her finger and looked at her crying sister with pitying eyes.

“It’s okay, give me your finger. I will treat you.”

“Huh… ? Po, there’s even a potion… ?”

“There is also a potion, but I’ll treat you in a better way than that.”

“A better way… ?”

He was dubious and grabbed the burnt fingers of Jin-ah with both hands.

As she chanted a recovery spell, she spilled her inner strength into the wounded area.

Jina’s fingers healed with a little light leaking from the cracks in her palms.

After the instant recovery spell was over, she opened her palm again, and there were no more burnt fingers left.

Only thin, pretty fingers that have returned to their original state remain intact.

“… Uh… La?”

“… Brother, that was just…”

“It’s a recovery spell. It seems that it will still be difficult for serious injuries to the extent of amputating an arm, but the initial burns can be treated as much as you like.”

“Ha, but it seems like you used fire magic just now…”

“Huh. You can use fire magic, and you can also use recovery. And, of course, I can properly wield the great sword I learned since middle school.”

“…”

“…”

As soon as they heard my additional explanation, the two of them froze in their seats with bewildered expressions.

If I had known this was going to happen, it might have been better to have told me a little earlier.

The fact that I revealed at once that I am the only male Awakener in the world and that I have powers comparable to multiple awakenings that can handle various awakening abilities seems to be a bit difficult information for the two of them to accept at once. Because I did.

“At first, I thought you guys were guessing too. I thought I’d probably seen it on the news at least once that our company had the first Awoken Male Hunter.”

“… You know we don’t have a TV in our house, brother.”

“And not too long ago, my little sister and I were devoted to hunter training. It is unavoidable to be late for the latest news.”

“… Well, it must be so.”

And even if you saw the first male hunter in the news, it wouldn’t have been easy to associate that target with me right away.

The information about the Awakened Male was secretly spread among reporters, but no one seemed to know that I was the target yet.

In the first place, the word ‘male awakener’ itself was a stimulating keyword that was used a lot in news and internet newspapers to attract aggro, so it will take time for rumors about me to spread properly.

It was a world where fake news such as “The world’s first awakening male appeared in the United States!” Or “Awakening male cells created through genetic manipulation!”

So, even if one day something about me leaked out on TV or in an internet article, it would not cause a big stir.

Unless I’m determined and I don’t go around bragging about the fact that I’m an Awakener in public.

In fact, it was good to see that the keyword ‘man awakening’ itself was an issue similar to the ‘hair loss cure’ of the previous world.

Like news stories that always say that development has been completed or conquered, but if you look closely, the results of lab rat experiments are all there is to it.

In previous worlds, such rubbish articles would be frowned upon, but in this world, it’s helping them, so in a way, it’s ironic.

“Anyway… So you’re saying your brother is an Awakener? Hunter rank is also B rank.”

“Yeah, it is.”

“Somehow, the other day, my sister and her brother were on a campaign, so it was strange… There’s no way he’ll be able to organize a party with his sister if he’s in C grade…”

“Then, does your older brother have multiple awakening abilities? From what you just showed and said, it sounds like he’s dealing with at least three Awakening abilities.”

“Strictly speaking, I only have one awakening ability. That one thing can be applied in many directions, so it looks like a multi-awoken person.”

“Yes? You can handle fire magic, you can handle recovery, and you can handle swordsmanship, but that’s all one awakening ability?”

“… What kind of ability is it?”

“… That’s a little bit like that to tell you guys.”

I thought for a while whether or not to tell these naive little sisters that it was an awakening ability that became stronger the more you had a relationship with a female hunter.

It was already after these kids had sex with me and got off the virginity label, and considering the future relationship, it would be strange to keep it a secret.

And revealing this ability itself was a good opportunity to reduce the psychological burden of the two people being treated for sexual desire by me.

It was also to prevent any strange misunderstandings from happening later, so I honestly confessed to the two of them about my awakening ability.

Including the most important part, the part related to the female hunter’s sexual desire.

“Hey, the ability to become stronger if you let go of a female hunter’s sexual desire…”

“… The promise you made last time that you would hug us when you became a ‘official hunter’ was a promise you made in that sense.”

“I’m sorry for not being honest beforehand. As you all know, it’s not an awakening ability that I’m proud of enough to brag about here and there…”

“Oh no, brother! If I was in the same situation as you, of course I wouldn’t have said anything!”

“Me too, older brother, I just want to thank you for trusting us and being honest with us.”

Still, seeing my two younger sisters who understood me as soon as they heard about my awakening ability, it was clear that I was born with a human figure.

“Anyway, now I know. Since your brother is currently a B-class hunter, are you saying that we also have to become at least a C-class hunter in order to party hunt with you?”

“Right now, yes.”

“That’s about it! C-class hunters will be taken in the blink of an eye, so wait a little longer, oppa!”

“Me and my little sister have a new New Year’s goal.”

You should have just finished your first day at the company as a D-class hunter this morning, but these two are already aiming for a C-class hunter as a New Year’s goal.

It seemed like the two of them had reached their New Year’s goals, which made me feel proud in my own way.

“Then let’s go for real, oppa!”

“Okay, be sure to call me during the next heat.”

“… Yes. Excuse me then, but I’ll ask you to relieve your sexual desire during the next heat, brother.”

“Yeah~.”

Two younger sisters pass through the front door and disappear through the gate outside the yard.

After sending the two of them home after their first experience, I managed to remember one important thing I forgot in the conversation.

Even if the two of them are promoted to C-class hunters within this year… Wouldn’t it be meaningless if I promoted to an A-class hunter or higher?

… Well, anyway, setting a goal is meaningful in itself.

It would be better not to mention this part. Even if it’s for the two of them to keep their New Year’s resolutions from fading.
