Chapter 470 – Assignment Inspection (2)
Morning went back to work at the union after two days to meet senior Hwayoung.
As usual, I went to work as ‘combination hunter Kim Seong-cheol’ wearing an unknown mask and waited for Hwa-yeong to come 30 minutes earlier than I promised.
Unlike the last time, after waiting for 10 more minutes after the original meeting time, she did not show up in the meeting place, the union lobby.
“… Hmm?”
Have you ever been hit by the wind?
However, considering Hwayoung’s personality, there must be no reason for him to cheat on me.
I sent a CocoaTalk message to see if I had forgotten today’s promise, but the read mark with the number 1 on it didn’t disappear.
As a last resort, I dialed her contact information on her smartphone.
For some reason, I thought that if I had the impression of senior Hwayoung, there was a possibility that she had forgotten her promise with me innocently and without malicious intent.
-Turrrr.
“… Yes. Hello…”
“Senior Hwayoung, where are you coming from?”
“Yes… ?”
“Today is the day my senior taught me fire magic. Didn’t you forget?”
“… Aww! Evil! What, what?! Ah, when did the alarm go off?!」
“…”
I felt like I knew roughly what the situation was just by listening to the sound over the receiver.
It must have been that he fell asleep late in a tired state like usual and didn’t hear the alarm, so he slept soundly.
I didn’t think it was particularly surprising. For some reason, I thought Hwayoung-senpai would make a mistake like this at least once.
‘Rather, it would have been surprising if it was surprising that I wasn’t late when we met outside last time.’
Of the things we’ve met so far, more than half of them have been at the lakeside drugstore, which is her house in the senior’s store.
It was just that ‘senpai’ was ‘senpai’, so she wasn’t even very upset or disappointed.
“M-I’m sorry! I am coming! 10, 10 minutes! Ah, no, wait 5, 5 minutes!」
“You can wait up to an hour, so come prepared properly. Don’t skip this or that just because you came out in a hurry.”
「I’m really sorry! I called Kotaek and left immediately… !”
-Click.
Hwa-young hangs up while she is in full swing, appealing with all her might that she is preparing for her appearance.
Considering the distance from my senpai’s house to here, I should have waited for about 30 minutes.
She didn’t really hate her because of the waiting time or anything like that.
In the first place, in an era where there are many things to do with smartphones like these days, 30 minutes or 1 hour was enough time to wait at the appointment place.
She wasn’t standing outside and waiting endlessly, she was just sitting inside the guild where her heater came out and leisurely waiting for her to appear.
Searching through Internet news on a smartphone, and browsing some popular articles in the community where active hunters are active.
I hope to spend some time like that for about 20 minutes.
A familiar silver-haired woman finally appeared at the guild entrance of the Gangdong-gu branch of the Hunter Autonomous Association.
“… ! … !!”
“Ah, senior. Here.”
“Seo, junior Seongcheol!”
Senior Hwa-yeong rushes to the table where I am sitting, as if at a reunion of separated families.
Are you so happy to meet you after a long time?
Well, it wasn’t long after I transferred to the company that I hadn’t seen him for a while after seeing him once, so it was the first time I saw him in 2-3 months.
Even at the end of the year and the beginning of the year, when a lot of potion-related requests came in, the time was not right, so I had to postpone the appointment to another day.
As a result, the expected points that appeared next to her face were proving Hwayoung-senpai’s sexual desire to some extent.
『Estimated acquisition points: 80』
Excluding special cases such as before the first experience, or during estrus or the highest level of liking, it was quite strange that the expected acquisition points went up to that level in normal conditions.
Obviously, when I first met Hwayoung-senpai in the past, I think I had a similar level of sexual desire.
Before meeting today, I checked the expected acquisition points of my seniors in the list of current sexual desire management hunters in advance.
As expected, the point of senior Hwayoung, who confirmed her face-to-face with her, definitely felt a little more desperate.
If the number of expected acquisition points increased like that in just a couple of months, perhaps the size of the sexual desire felt in real life would be even greater.
After more than 100 years of living as a mother-born solo, it would be impossible to compare the sexual desire that you have become accustomed to and the sexual desire that has rapidly risen because you can not forget the sensation of that time after experiencing men.
“Mi, sorry! I, ji, I really set the alarm, but when I woke up, it was all turned off! No, that, that’s not it, I’m not really trying to make excuses…”
“It’s okay, calm down. I wasn’t too angry at first.”
“Ah, ah, tta, aren’t you making excuses because you think junior Seongcheol is angry? It’s just that I took my promise to Seongcheol juniors lightly… I mean it’s not like that…”
Even if senior Hwayoung didn’t have to rush into making excuses like this, he already managed to figure out her situation.
Just looking at her senior’s face now, it was convincing enough that what she said was the truth.
The tousled hair, the randomly crumpled apothecary’s gown, and the lingering mucus from the corner of her right eye.
I always gave off an aura like I just woke up because of my usual messy hair and dark circles.
Since Hwayoung appeared more disheveled than usual, she didn’t want to question her claim that she had just woken up.
Rather, my expectation was that it would take about 30 minutes as soon as I hung up the phone, but I wanted to praise it for being only 20 minutes late.
Of course, being late for an appointment is late, so praising him like that would have the opposite effect.
“In the first place, it wasn’t that seniors were late because they didn’t want to be late. Yes?”
“That, of course not… !”
“That’s all right. Being late is late anyway, and today is a long day in the first place. Don’t worry, I won’t get angry or blame you for being only half an hour late.”
Of course, being late could be seen as a rude act that doesn’t respect the other person’s time in a sense.
If there was no malice or intentionality in the perception, I didn’t care much.
That’s why the other day, when Mina came out a little late on a date with me, she didn’t feel much emotion.
Rather, I was thinking about what to do if I came out too quickly and showed up in a gown and underwear like at home, so if it was fortunate that I came out wearing proper clothes and even a gown.
And thanks to this lateness, you will be able to take away the initiative from your seniors more than usual in bed today.
Personally, this level of weakness has been more of a benefit than a loss for me.
“Still, I made the boy wait for trivial reasons like oversleeping…”
“I’ll say it again, but I wasn’t particularly angry at you for being late. In the first place, my senior job is a potion-making pharmacist, but when I work, I get tired and I might fall asleep.”
“Now, don’t do that… I’m still sorry…”
“And strictly speaking, since I was learning fire magic from him, he was taking the time to teach me, right? It’s not like you’re teaching something in particular.”
“… It’s not like you’re not getting anything.”
“Yes?”
“Oh, no… Nothing…”
Senior Hwayoung looked at me while lowering her head a little with a slightly reddened face.
Then, he gently brought her thumb to the corner of her right eye and gently removed the mucus from her eye.
With her other hand, she brushed her fingers through her tousled hair, just enough to give it a roughly human look.
“And since I can wait, I told you to come prepared properly. She’s got all her eye mucus and her hair is a mess. What is this?”
“I-I will… He, don’t look too much…”
“Senior, unbutton your gown and put it back on. I think she got it wrong from the top.”
“Ah, that’s right…”
Senior Hwa-yeong fixes the buttons of her white pharmacist’s gown one by one, as if she only realized it after hearing my point.
After roughly 5 minutes of brushing her fingers, the messy senior’s face became something that I could barely see.
His expression, which had been filled with regret for being late for an appointment, had calmed down to some extent.
“I feel a little better now.”
“Yeah, thank you.”
“I apologized, so let’s start with what we’re going to do today. Are you going to start with the inspection of the assignment you entrusted to me the other day?”
“Maybe it will? After seeing how much Seongcheol junior has grown, she will be able to move on to the next level.”
“Then, are you going to go to the C-class fire-type dungeon today as well as last time?”
“Because it’s good for testing fire magic performance in many ways.”
Still, it was worthwhile to practice with Cha Yu-ri in the flame-type dungeon.
What kind of expression will senior Hwayoung make after seeing the improved flame whip and explosive fist transformed into a flame sword?
It was a moment of high anticipation for her expression to be seen in the near future.
