## Chapter 360 – Debt Collection
The next day, Eliza left.
“Well then, Saint. I hope for the day we meet again.”
“I hope so too.”
I don’t know when we’ll see each other again.
A deep sense of regret remained, but I believed we would meet again, so I didn’t shed any tears. I mustn’t swallow my tears.
ㅡDrip.
“…Please don’t cry.”
But I was crying before I knew it.
Eliza reached out and grabbed my shoulder.
“We are Divine Friends. We are not parting forever, so there is no need to shed tears.”
“That’s right… we’re Divine Friends. Farewell, Eliza.”
“Hehe. Saint, take care of yourself as well. Goodbye.”
Still, I was glad to see Eliza’s smile one last time. As Eliza departed, only the silence of the quiet morning remained.
All we did together were violent acts like murder and assault, and playing around for a while, but all that time felt like a beautiful dream.
“I cried.”
Wiping away my tears, I decided to go see Karin as originally planned.
Now that I’ve parted with Eliza, I plan to ask Karin about Sword Aura before starting the next task. Claudia said she didn’t know much, but Karin might be able to give me some helpful tips.
With that in mind, I headed to the Swordsman Guild.
But I don’t know if I’ll have time to ask. If she’s training the guild members, I’ll just squeeze in and do some sword practice, then ask her during a break.
“It’s quiet?”
I arrived at the guild and it was more deserted than I expected.
ㅡHap!
ㅡTeuat!
Only a few guild members were doing sword practice and physical training in the training grounds. Do I have some time today?
I greeted them appropriately and entered the building.
“Is Karin here?”
“You little shit… why are you so late again? Haven’t seen you for days?”
Karin, sitting on the sofa, put down her cup and said with a sharp expression. It’s a little scary, but it doesn’t seem too harsh, so I think it’s okay.
“I was busy working, so I couldn’t come. I went out a bit far.”
“Is that so? Then I guess it can’t be helped.”
Black leather pants, a white blouse, and her hair tied in a ponytail down to her waist – it’s a look that couldn’t be more Karin. She’s supposedly in her late thirties, but no matter how you look at her, she only looks like she’s in her late teens.
Looking at that white neck, I suddenly had an urge to suck on it.
But that’s not my purpose today.
“So, what kind of work did you do? Don’t tell me our serial killer husband went and killed someone again?”
“How did you know right away?”
“I can tell just by looking at your eyes, you little shit. Hehe, he’s doing well on his own even if I leave him alone. I really picked a good one.”
Kim Kat, the guy who’s good at killing people.
“Picked a good one, huh? Well, the sword you gave me is really effective. It was a big help.”
I had a great time cutting off the bandits’ breaths with the black iron longsword Karin gave me. It’s definitely a good sword, so the feel of it was exceptional.
It’s a sword that can draw out 100% of the power of my body, which has been trained with mana.
“It’s a decent sword in its own way. Then, shall we leisurely listen to that story? Will you tell me upstairs on the second floor?”
“No. Let’s go to the backyard.”
I should ask her to watch my skills for a bit.
When I said that, Karin’s eyes widened.
“Wh-what? Is this audacious little shit trying to fuck me outside?”
“What?”
“No, it’s not that I don’t like it… it’s just a little embarrassing outside…”
I was momentarily flustered and asked back, and Karin started blushing and avoiding my gaze. I was so surprised that she would react like that just because I said let’s go to the backyard.
“What on earth are you talking about? I was hoping you could help me with some sword skills.”
“What the fuck are you saying? So you’re not going to do it?”
Her flushed face instantly turned into that of a beast.
“Wh-who said I’m not going to do it? I’m not really into outside either.”
“You’re such a shy little shit. A real man should fuck anywhere, whether it’s inside or outside, don’t you think? Huh? Try to understand my heart. I’m shyly asking you to fuck me outside, you husband little shit.”
“What the hell is this woman saying!”
What a perverted woman.
Karin, who had stood up, picked up an iron sword and headed towards the backyard. I followed her.
ㅡThe guild’s backyard.
The place where I was caught jerking off in the past.
My relationship with Karin is half due to that incident. As I was thinking that, Karin pointed at the wall and smiled at me.
Oh, shit.
“First, let’s see your skills. I haven’t seen you lately, so I don’t really know how much our husband’s skills have improved. Let’s teach you sword skills after that. That’s more comfortable for me.”
“Oh, as expected of the Sword Guild Leader.”
“Just attack me. With the intent to kill, as always.”
Karin, who had drawn her sword, smiled and took a stance.
Kim Kat, a skilled swordsman, could tell right away. Just by taking a stance, a murderous aura was being emitted.
ㅡStrong.
I didn’t know before, but I definitely know now.
I can tell just by looking at the stance.
But I’m also stronger now. Of course, I’m still only at the level of carefully licking Karin’s toes, but I pretended to be confident and drew my sword.
“Are you sure you’re okay?”
Thinking about it, all my wives are stronger than me.
“I’ve increased my mana pool a bit these days? You might actually get hurt, you know. I feel like I’ve gained some enlightenment in swordsmanship lately. I don’t want to hurt my lovely wife… Hehehe.”
“Hehe, you cute little shit. Are you trying to excite me? Who told you to talk so cutely?”
“Huh?”
As soon as I took a stance, I was suddenly treated like a cute kid. Karin said as if she was having fun.
“It’s not that I’m looking down on my husband, but my husband can’t hurt my body. No matter how strong you get, you can’t beat me. So just attack me. Oh, but thanks for worrying about me.”
That’s true, but as the Heavenly Demon Kim Kat, I can never forgive hearing those words. I said, calculating how I could catch her off guard.
“What if I can?”
“Aww, you cute little shit. If that happens, I’ll call you ‘Oppa’.”
“No, that’s a bit…”
Hearing “Oppa” from a woman who is ten years older than me is something that should be criticized morally and socially.
Claudia is a half-elf, so it’s okay, but not Karin.
“What, you little shit? Then should I call you ‘Master’?”
“Wh-what?! Master?!”
Master!
“In addition, I’ll do everything you ask. Hehe, you perverted little shit. Go ahead and do whatever you want.”
Wait a minute.
Think, Kim Kat.
If I can make just one scratch, Karin will not only call me Master, but she’ll do anything I want.
In that case?
It’s possible to make her wear a bikini and dance. And I wanted to have a 4P session for a while, and that’s also possible. In the best case, I might be able to enjoy a 5P session with Lisha.
Above all, Master… it’s a very attractive offer.
Doesn’t it feel like I’ve completely dominated Karin?
ㅡTsuzzut.
I immediately drew up mana.
The passionately soaring mana infused extreme power into my muscles and bones. Good. I’ve gained quite a bit of experience so far.
That’s enough.
“Karin, it’s too late to regret it. I’ll pour out all my mana. The Real Sword Technique I’ve completed… even the Sword Guild Leader Karin can’t handle it. Prepare to surrender.”
“You little shit. The only place you can make me surrender is in bed.”
Ah.
“But I’m still reluctant to hurt you. Where would be good? Can’t I just do it on your clothes? I’m worried.”
“I’m telling you, there’s really no need to worry. Okay, fine. If you even graze my clothes, I’ll consider it a loss. Any other conditions?”
“You can’t use mana.”
“I wasn’t planning on using it anyway, but that’s a bit shameless. Then stop talking and come at me.”
ㅡPaat!
I immediately rushed at Karin, pointing my sword at her, using footwork. Even as I ran, Karin was still relaxed.
Good.
I’ll make her arrogance surrender.
ㅡChaeng!
I poured all the essence I had trained into the first strike. Of course, the first attack is blocked. As I had already assumed, I immediately pushed my foot in and rotated my wrist.
ㅡTsujuk!
Originally, swordsmanship is a series of attacks.
“Hoo? Good. The momentum is good, and the technique is decent. You’ve improved more than I thought? Your pressure is also good. But will that be enough?”
Karin perfectly defended against my movements. All of my attacks were blocked by Karin’s blade.
Of course, it doesn’t end here.
Around this point, a counterattack will comeㅡ
ㅡChaeng!
“Ugh! Shit!”
A counterattack came in an instant, and I barely defended by pushing in a cross guard. I barely blocked it even though I expected it.
Karin, who had made that attack, smiled bitterly and said.
“If this was a real battle, our husband would have died just now?”
“Damn.”
That’s really scary.
ㅡShe adjusted it so that I could barely block it.
I kept my blade attached to Karin’s blade in the state of blocking the counterattack, being careful not to let go, and wrapped my sword around the opponent’s sword.
It’s over if I attack carelessly.
I have to keep my sword attached as much as possible and keep the counterattack in mind.
“Hey, hey. Striking techniques. Aren’t you going to use striking techniques?”
“I can’t!”
Karin is blocking my own fist and leg techniques using footwork. As expected, there is a significant difference in skill.
ㅡChaeng!
In that state, I took a step back and slashed diagonally. Karin also countered me with the same motion.
“Dejaaatt!!!!”
In that state, I immediately changed the grip method and pushed the upper part of the handle instead of the handle. This puts more force on my side, so I can easily push away the opponent’s blade and cut off their shoulder.
“That’s good, but don’t use it if there’s a big difference in strength. Because it becomes like this.”
Of course, it fails.
Karin’s blade was touching my neck.
“This shit.”
In the end, I tried various things while pushing my skills to the limit, but I couldn’t even touch her clothes.
Everything was blocked, and most attacks were blocked before they could even be made.
“Hehe, good job. You’ve improved a lot more than I thought?”
After stopping the sparring like that, Karin and I sat side by side on the stairs.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t make Karin surrender. Even though my physical and swordsmanship skills were all lacking, I wondered if I could at least touch her clothes, but it was impossible.
Unlike me, who was sweating profusely, Karin just looked like she was stretching after waking up.
She’s really damn strong.
There wasn’t even a time to use the Real Slash.
Because I would lose in the fleeting moment of drawing up mana.
ㅡGulp.
As I was opening my water bottle and drinking water, Karin, who was sitting next to me, said.
“At this point, you could probably cut down the rookie knights? They’re only knights in name, and they don’t have any real combat experience yet.”
“What? Really? Damn, am I that good?”
This Kim Kat is as good as a rookie knight?
“Yeah. It’s true because I’m saying it. But they’re originally guys who have been learning steadily since they were really young, so if you go on a few missions, you’ll get completely destroyed. So don’t even think about acting up when you see those guys. Not yet.”
“I don’t even have a chance to meet the knights. Well, I don’t even think about messing with them. I have to get hit if they hit me.”
According to Karin, even though the rookie knights are unreliable, they have already been basically training in combat techniques in their families, so even if they can’t handle mana, they can kill me using only swordsmanship.
If those guys gain just a little bit of experience, it’s not even a big deal for them to be reborn as killing machines.
But in the first place, I have no reason to fight with them.
“Still, our husband is at a great level considering he learned late. It was a pretty good attack. Most mercenaries can’t even do this much.”
“Hehe, really? I don’t know what to do with myself.”
I feel confident when I get compliments from Karin about swordsmanship.
“Then tell me a story about killing people, you killer.”
“Is that what it’s all about?”
“Of course. It’s so much fun to hear that story. I’m an educator too.”
“You mean a murder teacher.”
What an illegal teacher.
Anyway, it seems like Karin wants to hear it, so I briefly explained the work I did to subjugate the bandits. But in the first place, it’s nothing special.
“So, I caught some bandits this time. No, it’s nothing special. They were so weak that I killed them really easily.”
The guys were all so weak that they couldn’t even be compared to me.
“No matter how easy it is, murder is murder. Experience accumulates that much. You have to get used to mercilessly taking lives so that you don’t get pushed back at critical moments. You already know that, right?”
It’s quite a brutal thing to say with a relaxed expression.
For a while, I received education from Karin about supplements and posture.
Some of the tips on how to counterattack and how to use the opponent’s strength were things I had learned so far, but my proficiency increased a little because Karin corrected my posture again.
“Ah, but Karin. There’s something I wanted to ask you today.”
“What is it? Ah, damn. But there’s no time for fucking soon?”
“No.”
