The branch manager's office in the Korean branch of the World Hunter Association.
Knock, knock.
"Come in."
The secretary, having received permission from the owner of the office, carefully entered. In her hands, she held a small file.
"This is the result of the investigation into the man who exchanged a large amount of D+ class elite monster cores that we discussed earlier."
"Hmm."
Kang Chul-ho, who had been examining the documents with an indifferent expression, suddenly showed a flicker of interest in his eyes.
"Is this true?"
"…Yes."
The documents contained Kang Hyunwoo's simple personal information and his movements over the past six months.
"A regular person who was an ordinary college student until a few days ago completed magician registration overnight, and hasn't even left the city, yet he managed to obtain and exchange a large number of magic stones…"
If he had cleared an undiscovered gate as he initially suspected, there should have been at least a record of him visiting sparsely populated areas.
However, for the past six months, he had rarely left these three places: university, part-time job, and home.
Moreover, his movements on the day he completed the exchange were also strange.
"Church?"
"Yes, it's the church right next to our branch building. When I asked the priest there, he said that he had quite serious injuries."
"Was he attacked by a monster?"
"It's not certain, but circumstances suggest that it's highly likely."
Being a magician wasn't an easy profession that you could become overnight, and he hadn't even been near places where undiscovered gates were likely to appear, yet he obtained a large number of elite magic stones, and even sustained injuries that seemed to be from a monster…
Could there be anything more suspicious than this?
"Um, Branch Manager. There is one more thing to report."
"Hmm?"
The secretary handed Kang Chul-ho another file.
"Kang Hyunwoo, whom I just reported on, was one of the victims of the isolated gate that occurred around 7:49 PM yesterday."
"…If I remember correctly, wasn't the other victim the granddaughter of Madam Choi Youngok?"
"Yes."
"Huh."
Kang Chul-ho sensed that the situation was getting complicated.
A suspicious man with nothing properly revealed, trapped in an isolated gate with the sole heir of the Seongbuk Choi family.
Wasn't that situation too perfect?
"They said the gate was B-rank."
"Yes… Madam Choi Youngok requested re-examinations several times, and we even used precision measurement equipment, but there were no changes."
Two second-circle magicians and one third-circle magician could never clear a B-grade gate, even if they died and came back to life. Surviving a week without any preparation would also be impossible.
That was the conviction based on the data he had accumulated while holding key positions in the association for decades.
The only possibility of survival was the existence of the mysterious man named Kang Hyunwoo.
Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't have liked the existence of the suspicious Kang Hyunwoo, but on the other hand, he also wanted to talk to him.
Kang Chul-ho himself couldn't understand the reason for that.
***
There were two figures walking in the middle of a snowy field, where heavy blizzards were raging.
Kang Hyunwoo and Choi Hyena.
The condition of the two people, seen up close, did not look good, to say the least.
Choi Hyena had exhausted most of her mana in a sudden attack by a pack of white wolves, and Kang Hyunwoo had suffered a rather large wound on his arm.
He had roughly stopped the bleeding, but it was only an emergency measure.
As time went on, Kang Hyunwoo's complexion only worsened. He had tried to apply as much pressure as possible, but he couldn't completely stop the dark red blood from slowly flowing down with just a piece of cloth.
Eventually, Kang Hyunwoo staggered and collapsed onto the snow.
"Are, are you okay?!"
Choi Hyena, startled, approached Kang Hyunwoo and was shocked by his much worse condition than she had expected.
The piece of cloth tied to his arm had long since lost its function as a bandage.
Kang Hyunwoo's face was contorted in pain, and his lips were blue. It was obvious that he was in danger unless he received proper treatment immediately.
"It's nothing."
"Don't try to act tough! Why didn't you say anything until you were in this state!"
"…"
Kang Hyunwoo said nothing.
Or rather, he didn't have the strength to make excuses.
"Getting out of here is a priority."
According to Choi Hyena, white wolves form packs with numbers greater than even white yeti.
The number of white wolves we caught was about 10. I didn't think we were lucky enough to deal with a small pack.
It was a situation where other white wolves might chase us at any time.
'…The shop hasn't reset either.'
After defeating the ice bear and the white wolf pack, my coins exceeded 3,000, but there was nothing useful in the shop that hadn't been reset for the current situation.
With Iris and Cheon Yeohwa's matching time still remaining, the only thing I could consider as a last resort was a new match.
However, that was also a gamble. I couldn't definitely choose my matching partner.
'Should I set my matching partner's job to doctor?'
That would increase the probability, but it still wasn't certain.
Still, it would be better than dying of excessive bleeding on the snow, so I decided to always keep that number in mind.
"Use this to apply pressure."
Choi Hyena took off the fur coat she was wearing and handed it to me.
It was a tattered coat from the battle with the ice wolf pack.
"Take it quickly. Either way, if the blood doesn't stop, you'll die, and I'll die from the monster that follows."
It's hard to find her words convincing when she says that while shivering.
"…Okay."
Of course, I didn't even have the luxury of refusing.
I cut the fur coat I received appropriately. Only after strongly pressing down with the cut coat did I feel like the bleeding was somewhat stopping.
"Hoo…"
I felt a lot better.
There wouldn't be anything dramatic like my condition improving dramatically, but just the fact that the bleeding was stopping made me feel much better than before.
However, the biting cold, which felt like my toes would be cut off at any moment, didn't improve at all.
With my mana nearly depleted, I couldn't warm my body with mana, and Choi Hyena, who had taken off her tattered fur coat, also had a pale complexion due to her thin clothes.
At this rate, we were destined to freeze to death.
It was no longer the time to hesitate. If we wanted to live, we had to do anything.
·

"…Are you serious?"
"What else? Do you just want to freeze to death?"
"…"
Choi Hyena frowned as she looked at the shelter I had worked so hard to make.
"…You perverted bastard."
The small hole dug into the snow under a slightly sloped hill was so narrow that the best I could do was to unfold a one-person tent as small as possible.
Of course, it was too narrow for two people to enter.
That meant that we could barely fit in if we stayed close together.
"…We've already done it once, so what?"
"Is that what you're talking about? Huh?"
Choi Hyena's fierce gaze was stinging.
Still, there was no other choice.
In a situation where I couldn't see even a shallow cave like the one I found at the beginning, if I just set up a tent on the ground, I didn't know when I would be attacked by a monster.
It was better to cover the entrance with snow, leaving only a minimal air vent, and enter inside.
Besides, if I didn't even have a tent, I would have had to lie down with snow as a blanket, so I didn't have any particular complaints when I thought about that.
Of course, even though the inside of the tent automatically warmed up, I knew very well that the heat was far from enough, given that my body was as cold as ice and I might catch a cold and be sick at any moment.
Both Choi Hyena and I knew that.
-So what should we do?
What else? We have to hug each other naked again.
"Are you all undressed?"
"…"
There was no answer.
Realizing that meant yes, I quickly took off my clothes, blocked the entrance with snow, and went inside the tent.
Inside the tent, Choi Hyena, who had become naked, was sitting down, covering her body.
"…Just lie down."
I lay down as she told me to.
As soon as I lay down, Choi Hyena climbed on top of me.
"Why are you staring at me like that…! Close your eyes!"
I felt like I would get hit if I didn't do as she said.
Reluctantly, I closed my eyes, and Choi Hyena, who had been watching me for a while, quietly snuggled into my arms.
I felt the sensation of soft breasts.
"…If you touch me, I'll kill you."
***
How much time had passed?
My heavy eyelids opened without me realizing it.
It was very dark around me, and Choi Hyena was sound asleep in my arms.
Her sleeping face was very pretty.
'It's warm…'
Is it morning or evening outside?
I don't know.
I could only occasionally hear the sound of blizzards.
I was hungry, but it was right to endure here as long as I could.
Besides, considering that the magician was a rear guard class and that Choi Hyena was a typical researcher type who was stuck in the magic tower's workshop, Choi Hyena's stamina must have already reached its limit.
It was right to let her rest as much as possible when she could.
'By the way, my condition is better than I thought.'
I had stopped the bleeding, but since I didn't receive a blood transfusion, I thought my condition wouldn't be very good even after waking up.
But my condition was much more normal than I thought.
Is this also thanks to mana?
I didn't know the details, but anyway, I thought it was a relief and moved on.
"…She's sleeping well."
Even her sleeping appearance gave off the feeling of being a descendant of a prestigious family.
She must be quite uncomfortable sleeping on top of me, but she didn't even talk in her sleep, which showed that.
"Dad…"
As I was admiring Choi Hyena's sleeping face, I heard Choi Hyena calling her father in her sleep in a small voice like an ant crawling.
Come to think of it, she was looking for her dad when she fell asleep last time too.
Choi Hyena's complexion, who was looking for her father in her sleep, seemed to be getting worse little by little.
She was even sweating cold, as if she was having a nightmare.
"Hng, hnghng…"
I wondered if I should wake her up now, as Choi Hyena, who was dreaming of what kind of dream, was even showing tears like beads.
At that time, I remembered what the nun at the orphanage used to do for me whenever I had a nightmare, when my head was complicated with worries.
I carefully stroked Choi Hyena's back with my hand.
As slowly and leisurely as possible.
Choi Hyena's complexion improved with the warm touch stroking her back.
She looked much more comfortable than before.
However, there was one problem.
It was already hard enough to endure because I was hugging Choi Hyena, who was naked, but now that I was stroking her smooth and soft skin, I felt like I was really going crazy.
'…She's sleeping, so it'll be okay, right?'
Considering that I took the lead and protected her while hunting monsters, shouldn't I receive some minor compensation?
Besides, considering that I caught half of them alone during the white wolf attack, this was a fair reward.
I slowly lowered my hand that was stroking her back.
Squeeze…!
Her firm and large buttocks were fully grasped in the palm of my hand.
I gently stroked them and enjoyed the sensation.
Fortunately, Choi Hyena was still smiling happily and sleeping, as if she was feeling better.
I decided to take another step, as she seemed to be sleeping much more deeply than I had expected.
I slightly changed my position and inserted my already swollen penis between Choi Hyena's legs.
My penis, which was almost touching her pussy, was screaming that it wanted to crush her uterus and ejaculate thick semen inside her right away.
Of course, I also wanted to do that, but now was not the time.
I grabbed her buttocks with both hands and rubbed Choi Hyena's pussy against my penis.
Squeak, squeak!
The leaked pre-cum became lotion between my penis and pussy.
I couldn't move as satisfyingly as I wanted because my movements were restricted, but this wasn't bad either.
It was a tantalizing smata, but my ejaculation sense was gradually rising because my lust had reached its peak due to the successive battles with the monsters.
My hand, which was massaging Choi Hyena's buttocks, also became bolder.
I massaged her buttocks wildly with the sensation of touching bouncy jelly, and touched her pussy little by little with my fingertips.
"Ah, hng… ahngh…"
Choi Hyena made a shallow moan with the continuous caresses of my penis and fingers.
I, who was slowly reaching my limit, shook my waist myself and urged the feeling of ejaculation.
Enjoying the sensation of her pussy, which had become even more slippery and moist because of the fact that she had already come out with vaginal fluid, I shook my waist.
Burble, burrr!
"Keugh…!"
The semen that had been saved for several days burst out at once.
The ejaculated semen was placed on top of Choi Hyena's buttocks like a topping.
It was an unusual amount at a glance.
While I was thinking about the clean-up with a cold head,
"Uhhng…"
Choi Hyena made a strange groan and suddenly woke up.
Choi Hyena's purple eyes, which had woken up from sleep, were directed at me.
For a moment, her eyes lacked strength because she was still half-asleep, but after she felt something strange and glanced at her buttocks, her expression contorted as fiercely as I couldn't describe in words.
"…Our daughter, did you sleep well?"
"Die."
The time it took for Choi Hyena to make a murderous expression and strangle Kang Hyunwoo was only 0.1 seconds.
