## Chapter 91 – Heatwave
Heatwave.
Extremely severe heat.
In some cases, it refers to murderous heat that can kill people.
‘The temperature is insane.’
Is it just the temperature? It was incredibly humid too.
I couldn’t imagine what the feels-like temperature would be with this level of humidity.
[A heatwave is starting now.]
Not long after that notification, my body started to heat up intensely.
Sweat poured out just standing still.
Even just breathing in the shade made sweat trickle down.
“For now, we’ll avoid the heat in the shade, and move when the sun goes down.”
I decided to retreat as soon as the heat started, but that decision was quickly reversed.
That’s because in less than 10 minutes, my whole body was drenched in sweat as if it had rained.
If we kept moving forward in this state, it could be dangerous no matter how much we hydrated.
You absolutely shouldn’t overdo it in this kind of weather.
‘Feels like I’m in a sauna.’
Still, it was bearable enough once we entered the forest. Everyone was still afraid of snakes, so we couldn’t go too deep, though.
‘I wonder if the girls are okay.’
I belatedly worried about my women.
Han Jiwon would have stopped work and taken measures somehow, but I still felt uneasy because I couldn’t see them.
‘Should I check with the encyclopedia?’
When I opened the [Encyclopedia], the women’s physical conditions were listed in detail.
[Condition: Exhausted from the heat.]
[Sitting in the shade, drinking water, and resting from the severe heat.]
Fortunately, none of them were in critical condition.
Although I couldn’t be sure they were really okay just by looking at the text.
‘I would have been less anxious if I had unlocked the next [Encyclopedia] feature.’
『Omniscient Observer Viewpoint (2,000 points): You can observe any target you have touched at least once in real-time. You can even vividly feel the five senses as if you were there with them.』
The ability to spy on targets at any time.
[Omniscient Observer Viewpoint].
I wanted to unlock it and use it right away, but unfortunately, I didn’t have enough points.
‘It’s okay. They’ll turn on their portable fans and endure it somehow if it gets too hot. Besides, I packed them a lot of other stuff.’
From the start, they followed Kim Jaejoon with the intention of making money. So, I had packed them plenty of emergency supplies and drinks in an icebox.
As long as they weren’t working under the scorching sun, I wasn’t worried since I had prepared thoroughly.
‘They’re holding up well, as expected.’
And when I returned to the group late at night, all my women were fine, as expected.
Except for the fact that their faces were redder than usual.
“Woojin!”
“Woojin, you’re here?”
They were so worn out by the heat that they approached me like zombies, surrounded me, and cried.
I was wondering what was going on because they welcomed me so enthusiastically, and then Kwahak shouted.
“Ice, give me ice! I need ice right now! Hurry up and give it to me!”
I quickly opened the icebox and saw that all the ice I had packed was gone.
‘It must have been really hot.’
Looking around, everyone was looking at me, saying ‘ice, ice.’ I laughed and raised my hand.
“Okay, everyone, step back for a moment. I’ll give it to you one by one, so gather in front of me.”
“Hey, just give it to us!”
“I’ll only give it to you if you listen well, okay?”
Then the women quickly gathered in front of me. Kwahak grumbled and stood next to them.
After confirming that the male students had disappeared to their own group over there, I bought disposable ice cups and sports drinks and handed them out one by one.
“Here you go, Teacher.”
“Thank you, Woojin.”
“Yuri, Yejin, come here. Get yours.”
“Mwah!”
Whether they were really suffering from the heat, they each took what I gave them and sat down roughly around the area to eat it.
I took care of everyone one by one, and now only Kwahak was left.
“Alright, it’s my turn now, right?”
Kwahak, who had been waiting and smacking her lips repeatedly, jumped out in front of me before I even called her, confirming that it was her turn.
“Give it to me. Hurry, hurry.”
Kwahak waved her hands up and down, urging me.
I deliberately didn’t give it to her and just stared at her.
“Give it to me! Hurry up and give it to me!”
People show their true colors when they’re cornered.
And the heatwave, like a disaster that had just begun, taught me a lot.
The women who obeyed my words no matter how hot and difficult it was.
On the other hand, Kwahak urged me to give it to her quickly.
The other women were tamed, but Kwahak was still not completely bowing her head.
Then I have to discipline her. Or slaughter her.
“Ms. Jung Mina.”
“Huh? What!”
“You haven’t been listening to me very well lately, Ms. Jung Mina. You’ve also been talking about me behind my back from time to time.”
“Me? When did I?”
I stared intently at Kwahak.
She had become arrogant because she had been earning some money lately.
To the point where she often didn’t listen to my control.
“Do you have proof? Do you have proof!”
Of course, I have proof. I already confirmed it with Han Jiwon and the twins a few days ago.
“No.”
But I didn’t adopt that evidence.
In any case, there shouldn’t be division among the group members.
Because that would break the group.
The women must all get along well. Even if they all curse at me together.
“I don’t have proof, but I’ve been watching you more than anyone else, Ms. Jung Mina. Frankly, you’ve shown me a lot of unsightly things over the past three years, haven’t you.”
“Ugh. That’s.”
“Now I can even tell what you’re talking about just by looking at the expressions on your faces when you gather people and whisper.”
Then Kwahak made a sulky face as if she had nothing to say. I took a deep breath and said.
“Ms. Jung Mina. I’m warning you for the first and last time. Stay quiet. Don’t pollute the group. Especially, listen to me well. Do you understand?”
Then Kwahak pouted.
“Why are you only doing this to me? You’re just giving it to the other girls.”
Because you’re the only one who doesn’t listen to me.
So please listen to me, Mina.
“Do you understand?”
“Tch. I understand.”
“If you don’t listen to me even once, I’ll make you lick for 12 hours.”
Then Kwahak nodded readily.
As if that’s nothing. With roughly that kind of expression.
Now that she’s licked my ass so many times, that’s not enough to educate Kwahak.
So I added one more word.
“And if you still don’t listen, I’ll confiscate all the money you’ve saved up.”
“What? Hey, you can’t do that!”
Kwahak had worked harder than anyone else. So she started looking down on her other colleagues and even criticizing me from time to time.
“So you don’t want to?”
I put a leash on her with that.
The fake wealth she had achieved with all her efforts. As soon as I grabbed that, Kwahak finally knelt down in front of me.
“…I’ll obey. I’ll do whatever you tell me to do.”
I saw that the look in her eyes, which had always pretended to obey but rebelled inside, was broken for the first time.
What an interesting personality.
She’s more afraid of losing what she’s achieved with her own hands than being subjected to all kinds of humiliation.
‘This method would never work on the girls in our class. They think of themselves as their greatest asset.’
I nodded.
Kwahak quietly lowered my pants, crawled towards my butt, buried her face, and moved her tongue diligently.
I ordered her to do it to see how long her patience would last, but Kwahak moved her tongue diligently and licked for over an hour without showing any dissatisfaction.
Even if the sun had gone down and the heat had subsided, that would never have been an easy task.
“That’s enough. Here, take it.”
“…Thank you.”
“Now you’re going to listen to me well.”
“Yeah. I will.”
After re-educating Kwahak like that, I immediately started to assess the situation.
Whether we could really endure this heatwave.
“No way. It’s impossible.”
“I think so too.”
Han Jiwon shook her head mercilessly, and Jung Seohee also agreed with that.
The other women were the same.
They tried to endure it, but the common opinion was that it was not a level that people could endure.
They shook their heads with a disgusted look, saying that they would collapse with just a little movement under this scorching sun.
“What do you think, Ms. Jung Mina?”
“It’ll be tough. We might be able to endure it somehow if we go to the waterfall, but at least not on the coast.”
The heatwave was so terrible that even Kwahak, who was overflowing with enthusiasm for making money, said to give up the coast.
‘In just one day, most of the clover has changed color and become dry.’
According to the encyclopedia, the optimal temperature for clover is below 35 degrees Celsius.
They can somehow withstand up to 41 degrees, but they start to burn if it goes above that, and it seemed like they had already exceeded that limit.
‘If the clover disappears like this, the rabbits and horses may naturally become extinct.’
Of course, dying from the heat would be faster than that.
As a prime example, there were no more African penguins to be seen.
Since not even corpses were visible, they may have all been eaten by sharks after going deep into the sea to cool off.
“Then let’s get off the coast for now.”
As soon as I came to a conclusion, we immediately moved our feet.
Kim Jaejoon, who was preparing to sleep, approached us as we passed by and asked.
“Where are you going?”
Only my [Shop Window] can withstand this heatwave. They had no choice but to be sensitive to our movements.
“There’s a waterfall near here. We’re going there to take shelter.”
“Waterfall? Is that real?”
“I used to live near there before the typhoon. So I’m thinking of moving there somehow while it’s still less hot.”
“Can you wait a moment?”
“Of course.”
Kim Jaejoon immediately summoned the kids.
They discussed whether to stay here or move to the waterfall with us.
And the result was already decided.
“We’ll go with you too.”
Kim Jaejoon and Yoo Hana’s gang, and Park Jimin’s gang also expressed their intention to join us.
“Are you sure you’re okay with that?”
“What’s not okay about it.”
I was worried about what to do if they didn’t follow us.
They’re my delicious prey, I can’t let them die a miserable death here.
“Follow me.”
