Chapter 625 – A Woman Born in Heaven (2)

The fun date with Lucia continued after the Hanok Village tour.

After changing out of our hanbok into our original clothes, we had dinner at a famous Korean restaurant nearby and talked.

After the meal, we stopped by a dessert cafe and spent time face to face and talking about our daily lives.

Afterwards, Lulucia suggested that she want to take a walk around the area, so we walked along the Cheonggyecheon trail together and talked about many things.

“Thank you so much for today, Taekyung.”

“It’s not that big of a deal. “I did it because I enjoyed it.”

“Sihee and Yei are always busy so we never get to meet each other outside the guild, but thanks to Taekyung, I think today will truly be an unforgettable day.”

“I’m glad you enjoyed it, Lulucia.”

“Ahaha.”

This time, Lulucia and I took advantage of the atmosphere and continued our date as if we were lovers, holding each other’s hands.

The half-day tour of Seoul seemed to have calmed the mood somewhat, so the psychological barriers to Lulucia now must have been lowered in many ways.

It was a moment when I thought that in this current situation, I might be able to achieve the purpose of approaching her in the first place, so I eagerly asked her to be careful of the request she had wanted to make since the first time we met. I decided to pass on the thread.

“Lucia.”

“Yes, Taekyung~!”

“If you enjoyed sightseeing with me today, could you please do me a favor?”

“Yes~! “If there’s a request I can grant, I’m willing to grant it!”

… When she heard that she could listen to as much as she wanted, she almost lost her original purpose and her other desires soared, but fortunately, she was able to somehow hold back that part with her self-control.

After reminding herself of her purpose when she found Lulucia among the other Restoration Hunters of her abandoned village, she asked her cautious questions.

“If Lurucia has abilities related to recovery, she can use most of them, right?”

“Yes, that’s right~!”

“Then, could you possibly teach me about handling my recovery abilities?”

“Yes~? But the last time I worked with Taekyung, he seemed to be quite good at handling recovery abilities~?”

“In fact, that day was the first time I used the awakening ability related to purification. “It would just be something that Lulucia got caught for following exactly what she told me.”

“Hmm, so you did~? In fact, I thought she might not be used to Jeonghwa~!”

“I would like Lulucia to teach me not only when I obtain not only purification, but also healing abilities such as wound healing, protection, and other recovery-type awakening abilities. Even just a little bit.”

“Umm~. “What should I do?”

Lulucia looked like she was thinking about my request for a moment, perhaps because I was asking too seriously.

Yet, we still held hands and walked together along the Cheonggyecheon trail.

He seemed to be asking me a question as to whether he needed it to teach me recovery abilities.

“First of all, before I answer that I will do Taekyung’s request, can I ask you a little question~?”

“Yes. “As much as you want.”

“When you just acquired the ‘Other Recovery System’ ability, you said you wanted to be taught by me~. “Do you think Taekyung has abilities that are slightly different from those of a simple multi-awakening person?”

“… That’s the way it is. “The awakening ability I have is, in many ways, an ability whose limits are unclear.”

“The last time I saw you, it seemed like you were not only well-versed in recovery skills, but also in swordsmanship. In general, a multi-awakened person would only be able to handle the same type of power, but Tae-kyung has some special power that is unique to Tae-kyung, right?”

“… Yes.”

“By any chance, can you tell me~?”

… Should I say this or not?

It wasn’t particularly suspicious or unpleasant for Lulucia to ask me this question. Because she thinks it’s something she can be curious about.

Among the people who have already had a relationship with me, there are quite a few people who know the true nature of my awakening ability.

It was a moment where I was a little worried, but considering the relationship I would have with Lulucia in the future, I didn’t think it would be a good idea to hide something.

After her contemplation for a moment, I carefully confessed to her the true nature of her awakening ability.

“First of all, let me tell you, the awakening ability I have is not like multiple awakenings.”

“Yes?”

“To be precise, it should be seen as close to using one awakening ability to imitate the awakening abilities of other hunters. For example…”

From then on, I just explained the process by which I became stronger while handling my awakening abilities.

About my growth process, such as collecting awakening points to raise the level of a skill, and opening a new skill when the skill level reaches a certain level.

Lulucia listened to her long and possibly boring explanation until the end, and after listening to her entire story, a conversation like this naturally followed with her.

“Hmm~. So, Taekyung was a person who used his awakening ability by collecting ‘awakening points’~?”

“That’s right.”

“I understand completely! If you use the awakening ability in that way, I understand that you will gain a new awakening ability, and that you asked me to teach you how to handle it when that happens!”

“Thank you for your understanding.”

“… However, I still have one question left~?”

“… “What is that?”

“I think you didn’t explain how to collect ‘awakening points’ to use to make Taekyung stronger~! “Did you forget to explain?”

… I didn’t forget to explain. Although I intentionally didn’t say it because I wanted to hide it a bit.

It was a natural story. ‘Solving a female hunter’s sexual desires’ and gaining awakening points was not an awakening ability that could be proudly talked about anywhere.

“… “Do I really need to tell you?”

“If you don’t want to talk, you don’t have to! “Everyone has something they want to hide.”

“…”

“But, if you still tell me, I think I can give you a more positive answer to accepting Taekyung’s offer!”

Lulucia, with an innocent and bright face, subtly urges me to answer.

I don’t know why, but from those eyes, I had the intuition that Lulucia had already sensed the conditions for my awakening ability to some extent.

In that case, I felt that there was no need to harm our relationship of trust by hiding it, so I honestly confessed the conditions for dealing with my awakening ability.

“The method of collecting awakening points for my awakening abilities is quite simple.”

“…”

“By releasing the sexual desires of female hunters who have built up sexual desires, I gain awakening points and use them to raise the level of my awakening skills. That’s how I deal with my awakening abilities.”

“Woman, a way to relieve a female hunter’s sexual desires and gain awakening points…”

After listening to my explanation, Lulucia blushed a little and muttered in a serious voice.

Judging by his reaction, it seemed like he didn’t think what I said was a lie and took it seriously.

Eventually, it was Lulucia who seemed to suddenly understand something in her head and quietly nodded and muttered.

“Also… What I saw in the revelation was correct…”

“Yes? What did you just say…”

“Oh, it’s nothing, Taekyung~!”

When I approached Lulucia who was muttering to herself, she hurriedly waved her hand and blurted out what she was muttering to herself.

It was an action that clearly showed something suspicious, but in any case, what was important now was Lulucia’s response to my proposal.

As I was waiting quietly for her to return a positive reply to my answer, her last question of Lulucia came back to me.

“Do you mind if I ask you one more question?”

“… “What is your question?”

“There is no need to be nervous. First of all, I plan to accept Taekyung’s offer. “This is just a question I want to check Taekyung’s true feelings, so I hope you don’t take it too seriously and answer honestly.”

“… Yes.”

“… Just in case, Taekyung, the moment we first met in the abandoned village, did you approach me with the intention of asking me this favor?”

“…”

It was a moment of embarrassment at Lulucia’s insight, which directly revealed the part that I wanted to hide as much as possible.

… If she’s guessing this far, there’s no need for her to answer with a lie.

Anyway, I said I would accept the offer to teach me recovery abilities. Even if she didn’t like my answer, Lulu Xia wouldn’t go back on what she said.

“Yes, it is.”

“…”

“When I was first recruiting people to clean up the abandoned village, I deliberately raised my hand to work with Lulucia. “Of all the recovery hunters I’ve seen so far, I thought Lulucia was the most responsible person as a recovery hunter.”

“… “As expected, you said that.”

“I’m sorry if you were offended, Lulucia.”

“Oh, no… It’s not particularly unpleasant, so it’s okay…”

However, it was a moment when I saw him subtly trailing off and thought that he was trying to hide his feelings of disappointment.

As soon as I heard the next words come out of her mouth, I barely realized that I was under another illusion.

“… Actually, when I went on a date today, I went in with a slightly impure mind.”

“Yes?”

“So, I was a little embarrassed, thinking that maybe I was the only one who met Taekyung with such impure intentions. Fortunately, Tae-kyung said that he had another purpose for me, so I feel reassured.”

“You mean impure intentions? “Didn’t you want to give me a tour of Seoul?”

“… Of course, there is that too.”

With those words, Lulucia released her hand from mine and stood face to face with me, making eye contact with me.

This time, she carefully asked me a ‘favor’ related to her impure intentions.

“Thanks to Taekyung’s honest words just now, I was able to be confident. “I know that Taekyung is someone who can make what I want come true.”

“…”

“Since Tae-kyung asked me a favor that only I can do, I will instead ask Tae-kyung a favor that only Tae-kyung can do.”

“… “If there is anything I can help you with, I will do my best.”

“… “If Tae-kyung’s awakening ability is the ability to become stronger by releasing the female hunter’s sexual desire, then I ask that you also release my sexual desire.”

“… Yes?”

“That is the only request I have for Taekyung.”
