Days had passed since I massacred all the Japanese yokai.
Since that day, gifts began pouring in from the cities near Heukyo City.
"They have good sense."
"Of course, Master-nim."
Saryeon slightly curled the corners of her lips and bowed her head.
"Any yokai settled in this area would have felt Master-nim's unleashed power."
I nodded at her words.
No one would dare to challenge me recklessly now. At most, only thoughtless fools would gather, but I wouldn't even need to step forward for that. Saryeon would handle it cleanly on her own.
'Now I can focus on building a training ground for a while.'
I turned my head and looked at Saryeon.
On her body, elegantly coiled with a snake's lower half, my two daughters were giggling and playing.
Seoha slid down her white scales as if they were a slide. And Yeji clung tightly, wrapping her arms around Saryeon's neck.
Both of them, perhaps because they were half-demons, were growing day by day.
"Isn't it uncomfortable, though?"
"No. Rather... for the Princesses-nim to like me so much..."
She smiled gently and wrapped her tail around the two children.
"I am truly happy."
Her words felt sincere. She looked at me with a subtle gaze, as if she also wanted to have a child.
'I want to impregnate Saryeon, but there's no one as capable as her.'
If Saryeon were to become pregnant, the problem was that there would be no one to take over her duties. She was moving so competently by my side right now.
Just then, Saryeon quietly opened her mouth.
"By the way, Master-nim. I have found those you spoke of."
"......Who did I ask you to find?"
At my question, Saryeon narrowed her eyes and smiled.
"Hoyeon, the Tiger King's daughter. And the half-demon Kim Hyeonwoo."
Only then did the memory return. I had been wandering through so many creative works that I had forgotten their very existence.
"Right. Those bastards were there. Where did you find them?"
"Near Baeksan. The ghost spirit I hired detected their traces."
"Baeksan, huh... That's quite far, I thought."
I rested my chin on my hand and muttered. But Saryeon spoke with an unwavering voice.
"You don't need to worry, Master-nim. A ghost spirit will be more than enough to capture them."
Her tone was confident. But I shook my head inwardly.
'There's no way the protagonist will be caught that easily.'
Although among the creative works I had experienced, Kim Hyeonwoo was one of the weakest protagonists. His combat power was nothing special, but...
Even so, a protagonist is a protagonist. You never know how things might get twisted. I had seen countless cases where a ridiculous coincidence, the goodwill of surrounding characters, or some fortuitous encounter suddenly turned the situation around.
'Well... if Saryeon fails, that's fine too.'
If she messed up, I could just punish her pussy under the pretext of discipline.
"By the way, Saryeon. Organize the locations of the exorcists who entered the Otherworld and bring them to me. And... investigate the locations of the exorcist branches in the Human Realm as well."
"Yes, Master-nim."
Just then, the door opened and a familiar voice was heard.
"Our daughters were here~"
Han Chaeyeon and Baek Miho entered the office together.
"Yeji~ Stop clinging to Auntie Saryeon and come hug Mommy?"
When Han Chaeyeon gently opened her arms, Yeji, who had popped out from Saryeon's tail, smiled brightly.
"Mama~"
Yeji giggled and jumped into Chaeyeon's arms, and Seoha also leaped into Baek Miho's embrace. Saryeon, looking regretful, wrapped her tail a little tighter before slowly releasing it.
"I wanted to hold them a little longer..."
Saryeon murmured with a slight smile.
"Saryeon, thank you for playing with the children."
Baek Miho said with a bright smile.
"Not at all. When I'm with the Princesses-nim... I'm truly happy too."
Han Chaeyeon, watching them, said while holding Yeji:
"Speaking of which, it would be nice if Saryeon also had a baby soon."
"Cha-Chaeyeon-nim..."
Saryeon's face instantly turned red.
"Why? Haven't you thought about it? I'm dying to have another baby with Seoyun these days~"
Han Chaeyeon smiled playfully and gently rubbed Yeji's cheek.
"Ah, no... How could I dare..."
Saryeon cautiously twitched the tip of her tail and glanced at me, and Baek Miho laughed beside her.
"Huhu, it's obvious you want to have a child, isn't it? When you have some free time later, formally ask Seoyun."
"Yes..."
Saryeon bowed her head, her face flushed.
"Then, Seoyun. We'll be going."
"Seoha, you need to say bye-bye to Daddy~"
"Bye-bye~!"
Yeji also playfully waved her hand and shouted along.
"Bye-bye~!"
Watching the children wave their hands from their mothers' arms, I also lightly waved back.
***
Having beautiful and cute daughters was certainly good. However, there were also inconveniences.
It was hard to have sex freely.
'I need to fuck Hongyeon and Hayeon soon...'
Moreover, Jeokrin from the Red Blood Demon Clan was also waiting, having taken a waiting number.
Originally, I had planned to have Hongyeon and Hayeon sit displayed in a corner of the office, tormenting them according to my mood each day.
But with my daughters, who had just started walking on their own, coming to the office every day, that was no longer possible.
On top of that, Baek Yeoju's nagging.
"Kkeueung."
Just then, Biyeon, who was sitting next to me, burst out laughing.
"Puhut, you're not a complete villain after all. Seeing you cherish your daughters."
I glared at her.
"What makes you think I'm evil?"
"Did your conscience die? Put your hand on your chest and think about what you've done so far."
"Hmm... No matter how much I ponder it, I think good people like me are rare."
"Eh-hyu... What can I even say to you..."
Biyeon sighed and asked.
"More importantly, when are you going to start your secluded training?"
"After I clear out the area near the city and all the training grounds are built."
"There doesn't seem to be anyone around here strong enough to fight you, though?"
"Just in case. If the fact that my daughters are half-demons spreads, there will be bugs trying to pick a fight, so I need to prepare in advance."
"Then what will I do to amuse myself until then? It's really boring here..."
Biyeon rested her chin on my leg and grumbled.
I chuckled and replied.
"Don't worry. You won't be bored anymore."
"Eng? What are you doing?"
"Just read my mind."
"No. If I keep looking into your mind, which is always full of weird fantasies, I'll become a pervert too."
"It's too late. You're already a perfect pervert."
"No, I'm not, you fucking Demon King bastard..."
"Thanks for the compliment."
"Anyway, tell me quickly. What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to catch Taotie, one of the Four Fiends."
Biyeon tilted her head and asked back.
"Taotie? What kind of guy is he?"
"A fool being used by a guy named Baek Hun."
I wrapped Biyeon's long hair around my hand and continued.
"I'm going to nip Baek Hun in the bud before he can plot anything."
"Is he a strong opponent?"
"He's not an incredibly strong guy. But what he does is annoying. It's easier to cut off the sprouts of guys like him in advance."
Biyeon stood up, stretched, and said,
"Then, until we go, I'll play with Seoha and Yeji~ Playing with the kids is the most fun, after all."
"If you like babies so much, then you get pregnant too."
Biyeon curled the corners of her lips, plopped down on my lap, and poked my chest with her finger.
"No. If you want to impregnate me, then beat me in swordsmanship."
"Only with swordsmanship?"
"Yes. If you fight me fair and square with pure swordsmanship skill and win, I'll let myself be impregnated."
I grabbed her waist and pulled her closer.
"I remember what you just said. If you cry or say you don't want to after losing, I won't forgive you."
"Pup. You think you can beat me in swordsmanship? You dream big~"
"Then, since you brought it up, want to have a match?"
"Deal! And you have to put something on the line too."
"If you win, I'll grant you one wish."
"Awesome! Jin Seoyun is confirmed as my slave today!"
"I'll return those words right back to you."
I immediately took Biyeon to the training ground. Hongyeon wasn't the type to enjoy training, so she didn't have a private training room. So I had the entire outdoor training ground used by the soldiers cleared out.
As the soldiers quietly left, only the two of us remained in the empty training ground.
We each picked up an ordinary sword and faced each other.
"Biyeon, today, you will obediently bear my child."
"Ugh, the way you talk... You're really like a madman."
Biyeon grimaced and lightly swung her sword, then just stood still with the tip of her sword dropped to the ground.
"I'll let you have the first move."
She was completely defenseless now. Anyone could see she was full of openings, but for some reason, it felt like I shouldn't rush in easily.
"If you're that careless, it'll be over in an instant."
Biyeon chuckled at my words and lightly flicked her hand.
'I'm uneasy, but now that she's careless, this is my chance.'
I charged forward with all my might without hesitation. I intended to end it with the first strike.
-Chwaak!
My sword cut through the air and flew towards Biyeon's neck. But-
-Cheolkkeok!
"Huh?"
My sword was already blocked by Biyeon's sword. Without me even knowing when she raised it, her sword had perfectly blocked my attack.
"Surely that's not all?"
Biyeon smiled and twisted her sword. Instantly, my sword was flung away, and my balance crumbled.
'Damn it!'
I quickly turned my body and created distance. Biyeon still stood there with a relaxed expression.
"Why, are you already flustered?"
"That was just a light greeting."
I readjusted my stance. This time, I mixed light thrusts and slashes, pressing in continuously.
-Chaeng!
The sound of swords clashing echoed through the training ground. But with every attack, Biyeon's sword lightly deflected my blows.
'Ugh, she's fucking strong.'
In swordsmanship, Biyeon was overwhelmingly superior. Her sword moved as flexibly as if alive, nullifying all my attacks.
"It's certainly not bad. But your technique is a bit lacking, and you're putting too much power into it."
Biyeon said, lightly counterattacking. I barely managed to pull back and dodge.
"Try using the swordsmanship you've learned properly."
At her advice, I composed myself. I was definitely too excited at the thought of impregnating Biyeon.
I regulated my breathing and attacked again. This time, mixing in technique.
-Kang! Kaang! Kang! Kang!
I started to improve little by little. I began to block Biyeon's attacks, and sometimes even succeeded in counterattacking.
"Yes, that's it. Much better."
Biyeon smiled contentedly.
But it was still not enough to win. Biyeon's skill was on a completely different level than I had imagined.
-Pak!
Eventually, my sword was knocked away, and the tip of Biyeon's sword touched my neck.
"My victory."
Biyeon curled the corners of her lips, wearing a relaxed smile.
"......I lost."
I picked up my sword and sighed.
"Then, as promised. You'll grant my wish, right?"
"Alright. A promise is a promise. So, what do you want?"
"For today, you're my slave."
"......Slave?"
"Yep, slave. Come on, follow me first."
Biyeon began to walk calmly, as if it were the most natural thing. I looked at her with a dumbfounded expression, but eventually followed.
The place we arrived at was my private bath.
"Why are we here?"
Before I could finish speaking, Biyeon had already begun to take off her clothes, layer by layer.
"What are you doing just standing there? If you're a slave, you should obviously start by taking off your Master-nim's clothes."
I let out a hollow laugh in disbelief, but soon began to strip off my clothes.
Her exposed neckline, her voluptuous breasts, her firm buttocks. All of it captivated my eyes.
"A slave daring to get horny for their Master-nim?"
"Keuheum."
Biyeon, sitting on the edge of the marble bathtub, said without turning her head.
"Scrub my back with a towel."
I looked at the towel and asked.
"...Surely your wish isn't just this?"
"Of course not. This is just the beginning. How I'll make you work from now on depends on my mood... Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and move, slave."
I quietly did as she commanded. A loss was a loss, after all. I had to keep my promise.
However.
'......I will definitely repay today's humiliation twofold.'
I quietly picked up the towel and placed my hand on Biyeon's back. Water and soap suds flowed thinly over her smooth skin, and I gently rubbed the towel, following them.
Biyeon exhaled leisurely and leaned her head back.
"Huhu... Seeing you so obedient, you're quite cute, aren't you?"
She deliberately lifted her buttocks slightly, making her pussy almost visible.
"Eoh-heo, no admiring allowed."
