I Installed a Dating App and These Otherworld Virgins Became Obsessed With Me. 82

## Chapter 82 – 82. Branch Manager

#82. Branch Manager

Early in the morning, the time came to end our short but intense encounter.

“…Oppa, do you really have to go?”

I thought we would just say a light goodbye in front of the cabin and part ways, but Ellie didn’t seem ready to let me go.

It had already been 30 minutes since she started her protest, clinging tightly to my waist and refusing to let go. Every time I tried to pry her off, she would start crying, making it impossible to move rashly.

Besides, where did she learn to seduce a man by subtly rubbing her chest against him?

‘…Was it me?’

I distinctly remembered tormenting Ellie’s nipples relentlessly for over 30 minutes while I was getting it on with Luna from behind last night. I kept pinching and rubbing her nipples even after that, so it was no wonder she was still sensitive.

“Hng, euung…♡”

Still, how could she rub her chest against me and pleasure herself like that?

I sighed heavily in my mind and stroked Ellie’s hair.

“I’ll be back soon.”
“Really…?”

Ellie cautiously raised her head, her eyes red-rimmed. Guilt washed over me.

“Does winter come to the Great Forest too?”
“Yes, it’s about half a year away.”

It was sooner than I thought.

It might be a bit of a stretch, but there was nothing better to appease Ellie than this.

“Then I promise to come back before winter comes. How about that?”
“…”

Ellie didn’t answer.

Instead, she just slightly raised her head and applied silent pressure.

I chuckled at her transparent behavior, but I wanted to indulge her as much as possible right now. If we parted today, it would be half a year for them, but I would have to spend even longer before we could reunite.

As soon as our lips parted briefly, Ellie stepped back with her usual bright smile.

It was her own consideration and concession for her sister, who was fidgeting beside her.

“Hyunwoo-nim…”

Luna, whose eyes were as red-rimmed as Ellie’s, approached me with a tearful voice, calling me pitifully. I hugged her tightly without a word.

“I don’t mind not being your wife if I can just stay by Hyunwoo-nim’s side.”

Luna, who was in my arms, suddenly said something meaningful, then stood on tiptoes and covered my lips.

It wasn’t just a kiss, but a passionate and intense deep kiss reminiscent of last night.

“Ah, Unni! That’s cheating!!”

Ellie, enraged by the violation of their sisterly agreement, rushed in, but it was not enough to tear Luna away, who was already on fire.

After a time that was neither long nor short, our lips parted.

“I’ll be waiting.”

With those words, Iris and I left the sisters’ cabin behind and headed into the forest.

I kept glancing back until the densely grown trees and tough bushes completely obscured the two of them.

“Are you worried about them?”
“…Of course.”

Just in case, I left them with enough food to last a year, various survival tools, and an incense burner to ward off monsters, although it came with several conditions.

For reference, I bought the incense burner from the store for 800 coins. It was a pittance considering their safety.

I had prepared several measures in my own way, so they should be fine for the time being, but I couldn’t completely relax.

I didn’t know about monsters, but humans often use any means necessary to get what they want. Even those five guys I met in the forest just now seemed to be low-level hunters, but they were wandering around the monster-infested Great Forest just to catch an elf.

That meant that the possibility of other slave hunters appearing before Luna and Ellie could not be ruled out. No, it was highly likely that slave hunters would enter the Great Forest and rummage around.

Nine out of ten of them would be eaten by the Great Forest’s monsters, but there was always an exception.

And I didn’t want that exception to become a potential threat to Luna and Ellie.

“You said you were going to meet the lord of Waybell, right?”
“For now.”

A few hours ago, while eating breakfast, I was able to hear several stories from Luna, who was strangely knowledgeable about the world outside the Great Forest, in addition to the way to Waybell.

The border city, Waybell, had another name.

The city of slaves, Waybell.

The largest slave market in the southern continent was located in Waybell, and as a result, most of the slave hunters operating in the southern region used Waybell as their base.

“Iris.”

Iris occasionally wore a pained expression, seemingly indignant at the current situation where humans were trying to enslave elves.

“…It’s not that there weren’t humans who tried to enslave elves in the past. Even the nobles and royals of other countries that adopted the Goddess Church as their state religion were no exception. But slave hunters never set their dirty feet in the Great Forest like they do now.”

Sacrilege.

The sense of depravity of wanting to defile what should not be defiled was a powerful drug for humans.

“Don’t worry.”

I hugged Iris, who was habitually biting her lip. She’ll leave a mark on her lip at this rate.

“You trust me, right?”
“…Yes.”

Originally, my purpose in going to Waybell was to find a way to cross the border of the Veil Haven Republic, but now a new purpose had been added to it.

I sincerely hoped that the lord of Waybell would be a human who could understand.

A guy who would listen to me when I told him to stop hunting elves for slaves.

I wanted to eradicate slave hunting itself, but it was impossible right now because I couldn’t spare a lot of time.

So, I would be satisfied if at least minimal measures were taken to ensure that Luna and Ellie’s lives were not disrupted until I returned.

But only if the lord of Waybell listened to me without complaint.

‘…If not.’

I should consider turning the place upside down.

Diplomatic issues? It’s not like I’m affiliated with a country or organization, so would they retaliate if I killed a lord from another country?

And I had no intention of foolishly revealing my face when there was a good means of assassination. It would be troublesome if bugs clung to me on my journey to the Santala Kingdom.

While calming the magic circuit that was not yet accustomed to the 4th Circle, we walked in the direction Luna had told us.

We pushed through the bushes, crossed small streams, and defeated monsters as we continued to move forward.

Beyond the forest that seemed like it would never end.

“Hyunwoo-ssi!”

The end was beginning to appear.

Beyond the last tree, a vast plain that made me doubt my eyes revealed itself.

Blue meadows and large clouds floating in the sky.

And far away, something slightly larger than a dot could be seen.

“Is that Waybell…”

It was half a day’s walk away.

At this point, I brought up the screen.

[Remaining Matching Time: 14:41:07]

Now there were only 14 hours left.

Of course, it wasn’t a short time when I thought about the first time I matched, but it was also true that it wasn’t enough time to do a lot of things.

Rather than using up all the remaining time and feeling uneasy.

“Iris, I’ll be back.”
“Come back safely.”

With Iris’s faint smile as the end.

[Would you like to end the matching?]
[Y/N]
[Y]

I returned to Earth.

[Time remaining until re-matching: 167:59:59]

Familiar scenery, what am I, still living in a one-room apartment because I haven’t even moved in after taking out a deposit loan?

“Still, they gave me a lot of coins this time.”

Actually, considering what I experienced in this matching, this was still too little. It was fortunate that I got ‘Berserk’ as a reward, or I might have turned into a black consumer.

I quietly put away the screen and brought up a new one.

[Noel Ronnidella]
[Summoning Wait Time: 59:12:47]
[※This summon is currently under penalty]

I would be able to summon Noel again in about three days.

I was a little concerned about the penalty that the app was talking about, but since I wasn’t planning on summoning Noel right away even after the waiting time was over, it was something I could ignore for now.

Noel also worked hard in the dungeon, so I should give her time to rest.

“But this is also a problem.”

[The proficiency of the ‘Sex Expert’ skill has reached its limit]
[A special mission, ‘First Step Towards Alpha Male’, is given to evolve the skill]

Last night, thanks to using the ‘Sex Expert’ skill all night, the proficiency reached 100%, but only the screen saying that I had to complete a specific mission to evolve the skill appeared.

“So what’s the mission about?”

I hadn’t had time to check the mission details yet because I was so busy from last night until this morning.

Ding-

[First Step Towards Alpha Male]
[Grade: Special]
[Take the virginity of a woman designated by the app in the future]
[※If criminal acts such as coercion or rape are detected, the mission will be automatically considered a failure]
[Reward: ‘Sex Expert’ grade increase, ???]

“…What the.”

The mission details were extremely simple, but it didn’t say who I had to get with or when exactly ‘in the future’ was. It strongly implied, ‘We’ll let you know later, so just wait.’

I was instantly furious, but there was nothing I could do against a dating app that didn’t even have a customer center or a 1:1 inquiry board.

“Sigh.”

I pushed the screen aside and left the house after roughly changing my clothes.

My destination was the Hunter Association.

The Association building, which I arrived at by taxi, was still large. Of course, it looked relatively ordinary because of the church next to it.

Besides, when I thought about the Magic Tower, the Hunter Association even looked frugal.

I entered the Association building and took a number ticket on the first floor. It was number 1. There weren’t many people, probably because it was a weekday afternoon.

I headed straight to the window where my number was displayed, and a beautiful female employee greeted me.

“Thank you for visiting the Hunter Association’s Seoul Branch. What brings you here today?”
“I’m here to exchange magic stones.”
“Ah, then could you put them up here?”

Of course, I didn’t do the crazy thing of taking the magic stones out of my inventory. I put the bag containing the magic stones on the shelf.

Thud!

The heavy sound drew the attention of the employees and other hunters.

“There are quite a few, is that okay?”
“…Just a moment.”

Screech-

The female employee cautiously opened the bag, her eyes shaking violently. And with a hand that was shaking as much as her eyes, she rummaged through the bag here and there, then left a word saying, ‘Please wait a moment?’ and hurriedly ran off somewhere.

While waiting with the attention and interest of those around me focused on me, a man appeared with a neat suit, slicked-back hair, and glasses.

“Thank you for waiting.”

The man bowed lightly and began to examine the bag. But before long, his eyes shook like the female employee’s.

“…Excuse me, but would it be okay if I checked your ID first?”
“Ah, yes.”

As soon as I handed over my mage registration card, the male employee’s eyes widened.

“M-Magician Kang Hyunwoo-nim?”
“Yes.”
“…C-Could you wait just a moment?”
“Huh?”

The man hurriedly ran off somewhere before even hearing my answer.

It felt like a scene I had seen before.

‘…I didn’t even put in anything higher than C+ grade on purpose.’

I had carefully selected only magic stones of C grade or lower, fearing unnecessary suspicion. Of course, the Minotaur’s magic stone was safely stored in my inventory. How could I, a formally registered 2nd Circle mage, catch something like that?

Of course, even considering that, the magic stones I brought were quite a lot.

About 40?

Of course, even this was enough to be suspected, but the Hunter Association couldn’t touch me, a mage formally registered with the Magic Tower.

At best, they would just ask the Magic Tower, ‘There’s a really suspicious guy here who came to exchange a bunch of magic stones, please investigate.’

Of course, even if they asked the Magic Tower like that, there was very little chance that I would have a problem as long as Grandma Choi Youngok was there.

“Excuse me…”
“Yes?”
“I’m very interested in magic, so if it’s okay, could I get your contact information?”

A female employee smiled brightly and handed me her phone while I was sitting in a chair waiting.

Magic stones were magic stones, but it seemed that handing over my mage registration card had pleased this female employee.

In a way, it was the first time in my life that I had been asked for my number, but my heart didn’t move at all.

Objectively, the female employee was pretty, but it was ambiguous to the point that I felt sorry for Luna and Ellie even comparing her to them.

Of course, I would have prostrated myself and given her my number in the past, but the situation was very different now.

“I’m sorry. I have a girlfriend.”
“It’s okay!”

What’s okay?

I was flustered by the female employee’s aggressive attitude, but the female employee stepped back as the slicked-back employee who had left his seat returned.

No matter what, it seemed burdensome to ask for a customer’s number in a place where her boss was.

“I’m sorry for the delay.”

The slicked-back employee bowed lightly.

“If you don’t mind, could you follow me for a moment?”
“Huh?”

The man, looking around, took another step closer and said quietly to me.

“The branch manager wants to meet Magician Kang Hyunwoo-nim.”
