The time had come for Kim Sang-hyuk, the onahole collector, who sought to enhance his abilities by selling onaholes to a transcendent being known as the Devil Merchant.
In the Blue Corner, the Fish Man. He didn't resemble a typical aquatic creature, but his strength was said to rival that of an SS-class Hunter.
In the Red Corner, the Goblin King. The original trader, an elderly goblin, glared at the Fish Man as if he were a nuisance.
What was to be done now? Should they fight to the death?
"There's nothing to worry about, Sang-hyuk. This one didn't come to buy an onahole," said the goblin king.
"Onahole. I came to buy one," the fisherman replied, his speech notably peculiar.
"But how did you know that I was selling onaholes?" Sang-hyuk inquired.
"Because of the goblin. The underworld is in chaos," the Fish Man explained.
"Well, that's to be expected when such a sensational item is released onto the market. It's bound to cause a stir," the goblin king chimed in.
Sensational. It must be something demonic. The goblin elder's eyes gleamed as he looked Kushina up and down.
"Oh? Have you already experienced the taste, Sang-hyuk?" He asked, intrigued.
"It was a regrettable accident. Playing with it like that isn't to my taste."
"Ah, is that so?"
"For the record, we don't sell this one."
I tightly grasp Kushina's hand.
"I'm the owner... I love you.
"I don't need human livestock resembling pigs either."
"Like a pig!?! My waist is 23 inches!"
Even the most fearsome demon merchant seems unable to accept the comparison to a pig and is defiantly fighting back.
"First, let me show you the merchandise. Henna, please lay out a platform."
"Sure!"
In case sand gets on the products.
On the sandy beach, an ethereal platform is laid out, and the onaholes are systematically arranged.
Starting with the most ordinary onahole...
52 of them.
Goblin Onahole, Orc Onahole, and Fishman Onahole, all in various forms.
"Wow! All are undamaged and in pristine condition."
Pristine is the right word.
It's because they were stored untouched, preserving their 100% authenticity.
The fishman was also displaying a mysterious reaction, his scales gleaming brightly.
"Next, the masterpieces."
Today, there are only eight masterpieces that couldn't be obtained.
"It's incredible. To encounter such a remarkable work once more."
The final masterpiece. Today, when the exquisite Onahole—acquired from slaying the shark giant—emerged from the inventory, the men were left speechless. They merely swallowed their dry saliva.
"The items are ready like this. What will you do?"
"Without a doubt, I'll buy them all!"
"I'll purchase them! All of them!"
Yuuna gazed at the eager demon merchants dangling from the ethereal footholds and remarked,
"… It's only the second time, but I still can't get used to it. The demon merchants yearn for Sang-hyuk's Onahole that much."
"Then let's start with the cheapest one. Combine them all."
"800,000!"
"I'll buy it for $900,000."
"One million!"
"1.1 million!"
A sum of 1,426,538 coins for the masterpieces and onaholes beneath them.
Goblin Uncle procured them.
Kushina was astounded by the amount.
"Unbelievable… Master. Were you truly an Onahole artisan renowned around the world?"
"I am the only one in the world."
… After all, I am the sole protagonist of OnaAka.
"May I touch this masterpiece, Sang-hyuk, sir?"
"Even just a little. Don't insert it into the hole."
"Beautiful!"
The fishman was excited as well.
"This one's on me. Two million."
"No, 2.1 million."
"At least give up one at a reasonable price. You greedy trash goblin."
"Chuckle. Isn't greed a compliment for a merchant?"
"Don't fight; there are two, so buy one each. Mr. Fish traveled a long way."
Swoosh.
As I extended a masterpiece, Onahole, the fisherman's eyes gleamed brightly.
"Th-Thank you."
"Heh. Sang-hyuk's generosity is like the ocean. Showing kindness to such a pitiful fishhead"
"Stop haggling and take this. Pay only two million each."
After selling all the onaholes, approximately 5.4 million coins were gathered.
Now it's time to purchase stats with this.
"I'll buy some stats. Gentlemen."
"Chuckle. Of course. I'll offer them at a reasonable price."
So much money.
It's not like I'm buying a house right away, but it's a heavy burden nonetheless.
Now, investing the majority of my resources in stats to become stronger will undoubtedly allow me to earn more coins.
Wasn't there a bonus for collecting the masterpiece "Onahole" at the end?
[Strength +6]
[Stamina +6]
[Agility +6]
[Finesse +6]
It's recorded in the log.
What if I combine all the gains from this round?
[[No Foul Smell]Check the Collection Effect]
[Collection Effect (Strength +16, Agility +15, Stamina +15, Finesse +9, Magic +3)]
In this dungeon, I obtained quite a few additional stats from the bestiary.
I've leveled up significantly as well.
My current stats are...
Kim Sang-hyuk
23 Lv(D)
Strength『96』(+30)
Agility『58』(+28)
Stamina『66』(+23)
Finesse『93』(+20)
(Hidden) Magic『0』(+6)
(Hidden) Charm『999』
(Hidden) O.J.『8』
'With this much…'
Including the collection bonus, I should be near the top of the B-class, right?
"You've improved a lot, Kim Sang-hyuk."
Yuuna stealthily approached and observed.
"Embarrassing."
"She's your girlfriend, so what does it matter? Show her. Show her."
"I've only progressed this far for now."
"Your skill and strength have surpassed a hundred. What if I even include a bonus?"
"Indeed."
That is why my martial prowess is unexpectedly potent. In reality, I have fought against Kushina and emerged victorious.
『Firearm Proficiency』 proficiency needed to handle all firearms. As you use them, your level increases, and your shooting accuracy improves accordingly. Current level: 8
『Martial Arts』(Mentor: Isabella) The ability to comprehend and wield various martial arts techniques. Current level: 14
『Onahole Clone Martial Arts』 Summon an Onahole from your inventory to fight alongside you. As your proficiency grows, your combat combinations become increasingly adept. Current level 4
Feeding the Glock with the power of the demonic river and possessing advanced techniques were not without their merits. As I honed my firearm proficiency and other skills, I ultimately struck the decisive blow against the shark giant when it exposed its innards, earning me the title of Most Valuable Player for my contributions.
The tactical advantage offered by firearms should never be underestimated.
'From now on, the stats I invest in will likely be quite costly.'
I steeled my resolve.
Strength『130』(+30)
Agility『90』(+28)
Stamina 『90』(+23)
Technique『140』(+20)
Purchasing 137 comprehensive stats at the B-grade threshold, Sang-hyuk's strength and technique had definitely grown, giving him a glimpse of the A-grade level. The cost of this growth amounted to 3.13 million coins.
"Did you really give me a good deal on this?"
"Of course. Absolutely."
Even the fisherman didn't say much, so it seemed like the deal was indeed a bargain, but...
"It's not often that one gets the chance to buy stats like this from a demon merchant!"
With approximately 2.4 million coins remaining, Sang-hyuk looked back at his squad members. They were each stomping their feet, wearing shy expressions as if they didn't expect anything. It seemed they were hoping for him to buy them something as well.
Fine. He would buy them something. It was an investment in the strength of their squad.
"All three of you, come here."
Sang-hyuk focused on Henna, who had the lowest overall stats, and decided to buy her mana. He didn't want her weaknesses to be as glaring as Stella's, so he also purchased agility for her. Henna could hardly believe her eyes as she watched the count keep rising.
"Hee, hee! You don't have to buy me this much... The coins… Sang-hyuk's precious coins are disappearing."
"400,000 are going in!"
"Ahh! I'll become Sang-hyuk's slave!"
Henna's magic power was adjusted from 67 to 120.
Her agility was set from 30 to 50.
Next is Yuuna.
Strength at 200, agility at 180, stamina at 150...
Yuuna's stats are all higher than mine, except for her technique.
"…strength…"
Yuuna murmured.
"Want me to buy you strength?"
"...Yes… Buy it, buy it for me."
"Ask for it more cutely."
"Please, please buy it."
She even makes a short tongue sound, which is so cute.
"I just bought it for Henna."
"You are too expensive."
It costs more than twice as much as Henna's to increase strength by 20 and agility by 10.
But I still bought it for her.
"Ah! Thank you! My boyfriend is the best!"
Yuuna hugs me.
"Sang-hyuk is the only one who buys stats that are difficult to raise even once!"
"I guess so."
If we were to break up like this, it would be a real fool's errand.
Looking into Yuuna's heart-filled eyes, I wish our relationship had a goal like marriage, but it doesn't seem likely.
Would she let me go if I suggested we break up?
I tightly hug Yuuna and kiss her.
"You know that I'll be with Sang-hyuk for a long time, rather than with a lover from my student days, right?"
"We'll be together for a long time."
"Will I be with you longer than a bikini-clad onahole?"
"…What. How should I get one?"
I turned around to check Kushina's status window.
and she flirtatiously rubs her buttocks against my cock.
"Agility? 20?"
"You want me to buy as much as a girlfriend?"
"Ahh."
Oh wow.
Her bikini-clad bottom massages my cock.
"Please get one for me."
"For you, who might be dragged away by the head of the student council?"
"I take it as a sign that you'll take responsibility and protect me."
"…"
Damn it. I live for this ass. I do.
As I purchase her stats, I tightly embrace Kushina's body from behind.
"Gah!"
After distributing it evenly throughout the squad, there are 1.09 million coins remaining on my student ID.
That's still quite a lot of money.
I think it would be enough to cover my family's living expenses for three years.
"Mr. Goblin. Mr. Fish. See you next time."
"See you again, Sang-hyuk. Please bring another beautiful Onahole next time."
"I came again to buy an onahole. I hope you stay healthy."
Thankfully, there were no issues.
After bidding farewell to the demon merchants, we waited for the dungeon to be dismantled.
"Ah. I'm hungry."
Yuuna stretches out.
It must be lunchtime by now, right?
Oh. What about Kushina?
"Kushina needs to eat too."
"I'm fine. Just throw me a triangular kimbap later on."
"How do you deal with physiological needs inside? Is there anything awkward?"
"It was fine when I was inside, you know? The sense of time gets weird."
Is that so?
Perhaps it's thanks to the protective function of the inventory itself, which keeps the Onahole in perfect condition.
We've had passionate sex since yesterday, but Kushina seemed to reset back to her initial state when she entered and exited the inventory.
However, there was no absurdity in the hymen returning.
"I'd rather have a meal together with everyone."
"Isn't it too much to eat in the student cafeteria? Kushina, you'll stand out."
That's true.
Even if one dresses in a school uniform and pretends to be an ordinary academy student,
First and foremost, we must somehow avoid the label of "student council president's person of interest," or else Isabelle will scold us.
"Sang-hyuk, look over there. There's something odd."
At that moment, Henna pointed at something with her staff.
Nestled in a corner of the beach, there was a restaurant exuding a peculiarly local atmosphere.
"When did this place appear?"
"It's the House of the Sea!"
Yuuna exclaimed.
What is the House of the Sea?
Perhaps it's like a café on the beach.
"Let's go! It's time for some SNS action!"
Unable to contain her curiosity, Yuuna moved ahead first.
The dungeon had been cleared. There shouldn't be any more monsters, so it should be fine, right?
"Shall we eat together, Kushina? I skipped breakfast, so I'm hungry."
"To be precise, I skipped dinner too. I was having sex beneath my master."
"…Alright. Fine. Order as much as you want."
"Hehe."
We entered the "House of the Sea."
At an inviting, open-air restaurant, a voluptuous woman with aquamarine waves of hair gazed around, taking in the atmosphere.
