Revenge with the Power of the Final Boss-Chapter 33: What Changed (1)

"Welcome home!"

Rewinding to yesterday, as I returned home, I was greeted by the sight of Seomun Ye-jin welcoming me warmly.

"I've prepared a meal filled with love just for you, Seo-jun! Hehe~"

The dish she had proudly prepared was Boeuf Bourguignon.

A dish that requires more than two hours in the oven, it’s a time-consuming recipe, but it seemed she had poured her heart into making it.

"You’ve worked hard. I’ll enjoy it, Miss."

Having gone through more than expected today, all I wanted was to eat the meal Seomun Ye-jin had prepared for me and then rest for a while.

"Yes! Seo-jun, I’ll feed you myself."

"I’d prefer to eat it myself."

"Then how about if I feed you with my lips?"

The moment I declined, Seomun Ye-jin boldly upped the stakes. Hearing her words, I gently pulled her into my arms.

"That sounds good anytime."

"Yes!"

Seeing her visibly brighten at my response made me chuckle.

"Well, let’s taste it first."

"Mm!"

As I leaned in to kiss her, she immediately closed her eyes, responding enthusiastically with her lips and tongue.

"Mm... haa...."

Her sweet lips were enticing, but the sensation of her body pressed against mine further heightened my emotions. My hand lightly stroked her soft, lavender-toned hair before trailing downward. Yet, even as my hand moved lower, she didn’t resist, simply melting into my touch.

I thought that even if I were to caress her further, she would only lean into me more, eager and willing.

However, deciding against escalating the moment, I restrained myself and only stroked her back as I broke the kiss.

"Seo-jun."

She called out to me softly.

"If you want... you can let your hand go lower."

Currently, Seomun Ye-jin was dressed in a simple T-shirt and dolphin shorts. The thin, soft fabric made it easy to feel the texture of her skin beneath, her graceful curves visible through the outfit.

Holding her like this, the sensation of her feminine form was vivid, and I knew that letting my hand wander further would undoubtedly prolong this moment.

"If I let my hand go lower now, this could take a while."

"Hehe~ I wouldn’t mind, would you, Seo-jun?"

If I had said no, she’d surely pout, and that wouldn’t be entirely honest. I didn’t want to lie to this adorable young lady, so I decided to be truthful once again.

"If we go further, we might cross the line early."

"I wouldn’t mind that, though?"

Hearing her words, I lightly poked her side with my finger.

"Ahh!"

She let out a high-pitched yelp, arching her back like a bow, and the movement caused her chest to press and sway against me.

After finishing the dinner Seomun Ye-jin had prepared the previous evening, the next morning came.

“Mmm~ Ahhh~”

Seomun Ye-jin lay on the bed in nothing but her underwear, her pale, white skin exposed. My hands pressed against her back and other parts of her body, applying careful pressure.

Each time my hands touched her skin, she let out playful, exaggerated moans, clearly teasing me.

“Ahhh~ Seo-jun~”

“Miss, you're being too much.”

“Hehe~ But it really feels so good and refreshing!”

Of course, it was refreshing. What I was performing was a type of mana massage.

By slowly channeling my high-level mana into her body, I was helping her physique become more attuned to mana.

Seomun Ye-jin, who already had the potential to become an SSS-class Hunter, was rapidly growing stronger through these mana massages.

At this rate, she would easily reach SSS-class status within a year.

‘There is a better way, but...’

Indeed, there was a more effective method, but it wasn’t something I could use yet.

For now, this mana massage was the best option.

As I placed my hand near the underside of her hips, I noticed her subtly tensing her glutes.

Her blatant, coquettish gesture caused me to lightly poke the underside of her hips with my finger.

“Miss.”

“Yes! Seo-jun, your finger is touching the underside of my hips~ How does it feel?”

It feels amazing. That was my honest thought. Her body had an almost enchanting allure, tempting me to knead and explore every inch of it without restraint.

“You’re quite bold, aren’t you?”

“Yes! Believe it or not, I’ve been studying and practicing the 77 ways to seduce a boyfriend online!”

Her enthusiastic response didn’t distract me from noticing the faint unease underlying her words.

“What’s making you so anxious, Miss?”

“Huh?”

“You’re anxious, aren’t you? That’s why you’re being so forward.”

At my pointed observation, her cheerful voice softened.

“It’s just... I feel like I can’t do much for you, Seo-jun.”

“You can’t?”

“Yes... It feels like I don’t have anything to offer. I don’t know if I’ll be able to be helpful to you in the future... Instead, it seems like I’m always relying on your help.”

I thought she had helped me plenty, but it seemed she didn’t see it that way.

“I think you’ve already been a great help, Miss.”

“But... I can’t promise I’ll do well in the future. That’s why I wanted to make my mark... even if it’s with my body.”

Her honesty made her embarrassment clear.

“So that’s what you’ve been thinking.”

“Yes. All I can do is wait for you to come back and greet you when you arrive.”

This girl overthought things too much.

“Just existing as you are makes you special, Miss.”

I spoke as I climbed on top of her lying form.

“Ah, um...”

Despite all her teasing, her flustered reaction to my direct approach was endearing.

“All you have to do is stay with me, Miss. The fact that you’re my woman is more than enough help for me.”

“S-Seo-jun...”

I leaned down and planted a soft kiss on the nape of her neck before resuming the mana massage.

After all, I needed to be ready to participate in capturing Pyo Woo-jae, the one responsible for Han Se-hee’s parents’ deaths, later today.

***

"Please take care of me."

Pyo Jin-seong was incredibly polite toward me.

Even to him, Choi Kang-in hadn’t revealed detailed information about me. He had simply instructed Pyo to treat my orders as if they were his own and follow them without question.

Despite being the deputy guild leader, Pyo Jin-seong wasn’t privy to many of Choi Kang-in’s decisions. While such treatment might have left others feeling slighted, this man—well-known in the original story as Choi Kang-in’s loyal follower—obeyed without hesitation.

The way he acted as if I were Choi Kang-in himself made me consider asking him something, but I ultimately decided against it.

“Asking would just be foolish.”

Based on Choi Kang-in’s words and the power I had demonstrated under the guise of Kim Ho-jun, it was clear that my abilities surpassed what anyone would expect from a 15-year-old boy.

Anyone who had seen what I was capable of would naturally come to the same conclusion.

The successor to Choi Kang-in.

People would undoubtedly believe that the next guild master of the Kangin Guild had finally appeared.

***

Han Se-hee had received an invitation from the Baekho Guild, tasked with becoming Baek Seo-jin’s friend.

She hadn’t been given much of a choice in the matter, but I refrained from interfering in this situation.

Unless Han Se-hee faced direct harm or requested my help, I had no intention of stepping in uninvited.

If Han Se-hee remembered the kindness I had shown her, that would be ideal. If not, then that would be the end of it.

I had only extended my goodwill toward her because I wanted to. That was all.

"Pyo Woo-jae, you are hereby arrested in the name of the Kangin Guild. Your crime is murdering Han Yeon-woo and Jin So-yeon inside a dungeon!"

When we stormed into the Baekho Guild, Pyo Jin-seong easily subdued Pyo Woo-jae.

Seeing the bewildered expressions on Kim Yoo-jung and Baek Seo-jin’s faces amused me.

They must be wondering what kind of catastrophe just struck.

"S-Se-hee! Please, say something! These people must be misunderstanding something! Me? Kill your parents? That’s ridiculous! You know that, don’t you?"

But watching Pyo Woo-jae desperately spout nonsense to Han Se-hee filled me with disgust.

Was it because he reminded me of Baek Hyung-won and Kim Yoo-jung?

"Don’t spew lies in front of the victim."

I stomped hard on Pyo Woo-jae’s back.

"Urgh?!"

"The Kangin Guild already knows every crime you’ve committed. Stop trying to deceive the victim’s surviving family with your pathetic lies."

Baek Seo-jin and Kim Yoo-jung, who knew me, looked shocked at my sudden appearance. However, their astonishment paled in comparison to what Baek Hyung-won felt when he arrived and saw me.

After stepping outside with Pyo Jin-seong, I entrusted the handling of Pyo Woo-jae to him.

"Take him back first."

"What do you plan to do?"

"I’ll stick around for a bit and observe."

Baek Seo-jin and Han Se-hee.

I wanted to see with my own eyes how the first meeting between the original protagonist and his childhood friend heroine had changed.

Or maybe it hasn’t changed at all.
