"So you're saying you saved Cadet Kim Minsu from falling into temptation?"
"Yes, that's correct."
"Cadet Kim Minsu! Is this really true?"
"...Yes... that's right..."
The suddenly opened Wonderland press conference was progressing quickly.
The reason it could be this fast was because there were no casualties and the damage to buildings wasn't severe.
No one was injured, and at most some buildings were damaged, so the atmosphere wasn't tense.
Perhaps because of this, the reporters' questions were in a state with much of their caution removed.
"What was the monster collapsed on the floor when Hunter Baek Taeyang cleared the hallucination dungeon?"
"It was the Succubus Queen. Cadet Kim Minsu was also caught by the Queen."
"Thank you for your answer. Additionally, is it true that the Queen confessed her love at the end? Did you really seduce the Queen in reverse?"
"There's no such thing. I, Baek Taeyang, absolutely do not share intimacy with monsters!"
"Oh... ooh...!"
Though it was an obvious line, the effect was certain.
In fact, it was an answer at the level of covering your eyes and saying "you can't see me".
Kim Minsu's erection was hidden by his pants, but my junior wasn't so lucky.
After having sex with Shael, my dick feels like it's gotten bigger than before.
There's a stiff snake inside my thigh blatantly visible, yet they believe I didn't share intimacy?
It was laughable.
Moreover, since they were reporters specializing in hunter-related matters, they all knew exactly what kind of monster a succubus was.
But despite this, the reason they completely believed my words was just one.
Thanks to Kim Minsu.
Minsu had affirmed in the previous interview that he was seduced.
As a result, it became an established fact that 'Kim Minsu shared intimacy with the succubus'.
'It's probably because of my image too.'
A face that looks like it wouldn't be seduced, but would seduce women, ranking 1st in S-rank gate contributions.
My image as a manly man was already firmly established externally.
A manly hunter falling for a Succubus Queen? No one would believe such a story.
"Well then, we'll wrap this up now."
"Ah..."
Sighs flowed from here and there, but I didn't waver.
I thought I had answered enough questions related to the hallucination dungeon.
If I took more questions from here, there was a high chance they would drift into personal questions.
Things like my relationship with So Yumin, my relationship with Melanie, and so on.
You might say I could just not answer, but the very act of asking such questions was the problem.
A topic once brought up would clearly not die down until I answered it precisely.
'That would be the worst case scenario.'
I suddenly feel sorry for hitting Minsu when I got angry thinking he cheated before.
But looking at it another way, isn't it okay since Minsu can't live up to his face value, while I can?
"Alright then, let's wrap it up here."
Though the reporters had regretful expressions, they absolutely did not cross the line.
What if they really crossed the line and incurred the wrath of an awakened one? Non-awakened ones could never handle it.
Since there were actual cases, they were extremely thorough about where to draw the line.
'Now it's time for part 2 questions, I guess.'
All the official questions were over.
I wanted to end everything here and go home, but it was impossible.
Yu Minhyuk, he was approaching me now.
Yumin also had an expression like she had a lot to say to me.
But as soon as she saw Yu Minhyuk's face, she immediately backed off.
She was overwhelmed by his spirit and vigor.
'Come, Yu Minhyuk.'
I am Baek Taeyang.
+++++++++++++++
This wasn't the first time such a situation had occurred.
If Kim Minsu were to deal with what's about to happen now, what exactly would happen?
'That guy could never handle this.'
Only I could skillfully endure and escape this situation.
"You've already built up quite a career while still in your first year."
"Thank you for your kind words."
"I never said anything kind."
"Yes, sir."
The Wonderland VIP room really had a cute atmosphere.
Not only were there large teddy bears, but dinosaurs were even hanging from the ceiling.
'They said it was a space where we could talk comfortably...'
It made people return to their childhood too excessively.
The wallpaper had an atmosphere you'd see in princess animations, with stardust sprinkled on it.
The finishing touch was the sofa.
The sofa where two men who looked like they could be twice the size of normal adult men were sitting was hot pink.
Additionally, there were two cute mugs on the table in the center, with cocoa asserting its presence by floating marshmallows.
'Glasses Fatty, you crazy bastard.'
This must all be the influence of that guy's comedy episode.
"I thought you were dating my daughter."
Yu Minhyuk paid no attention to this atmosphere at all.
He was like a beast only contemplating how to bite me to death.
"But looking at your recent... actions... you seem to have many women."
This was something I didn't know about.
When I made an expression of not understanding, Yu Minhyuk briefly held out his phone with an article.
In that article, I was coming out of Melanie's limousine with a bright smile.
It was a face that anyone could see had enjoyed everything there was to enjoy.
'We only played the OX game.'
There was no point in saying it as the atmosphere wasn't one where he'd believe me, so I just kept my mouth shut.
"And there's that Cadet So Yumin, was it? The way she looked at you today wasn't ordinary... I know well because I've been in love too."
"They're all just good friends, I think you're misunderstanding."
"Then was it also a misunderstanding when you were walking the morning streets with my daughter that day?"
The expected question finally popped out.
Of course, it would be a question any father with a daughter would want to ask.
His daughter who didn't come home the previous night is walking the morning streets with a man the next day? And very intimately at that?
There was no way to think anything other than that they spent the night together. Moreover, given Sujin's personality, it was clear she would show signs if she tried to lie about such things.
In other words, Yu Minhyuk came knowing pretty much the whole situation.
"I understand how you feel. But I want to say that what you're worried about will absolutely never happen."
In times like this, it was best to take a direct approach.
When I experienced countless such situations on Earth, this had the highest probability of success.
A flustered response was the worst, and I had to show that I was an extremely reliable and trustworthy man.
"...Honestly, I know I'm being rude in this situation, as it's becoming a case of interfering with my child's love life."
Yu Minhyuk was extremely rational.
"But I hope you understand that this too is a parent's duty. If the man my daughter is meeting... treats my daughter lightly..."
Cancel.
Yu Minhyuk was extremely emotional.
He was just like a slowly boiling kettle, not fully preheated yet.
He clenched his fist tightly as if anger was boiling up just from imagining it.
I didn't know how strong of an awakened one he was, but he was making surrounding objects shake just with his intense emotions.
"That won't happen."
"Honestly, how far have you gone."
As soon as my words ended, his words immediately followed.
He probably wanted to keep asking this from the start.
All the words were just build-up for that one question.
'You'd kill me if I told the truth.'
Our first experience was in the guidance room. There, I kneaded your daughter's red mounds while deflowering her from behind.
The second time was in the Nest Hotel VIP suite, where we washed each other, fed each other cum, and so on.
That's all. Hunter Yu Minhyuk, if you have no further questions, I'll be going now.
This isn't what Yu Minhyuk wants to hear.
If he really wanted the truth, he wouldn't have even brought it up like this.
Someone who's been in love and married couldn't possibly not know that.
In times like this, going along with him was the correct answer.
"After the department store gate incident, we hugged due to a deeper sense of camaraderie."
"...You call a man and woman hugging merely 'to that extent'..."
Wrong answer.
I didn't know Yu Minhyuk would be such a pure romantic.
Didn't he say he's been in love before, did he marry his first love? What kind of innocent thing is he expecting?
I think I finally understand why "Pure Love" is in the novel title.
"...No, I reacted sensitively... Right, that could happen... They say the younger generation is different these days..."
"No, I completely understand."
"Really? You can understand?"
Suddenly, Yu Minhyuk's eyes flashed as he looked at me.
It reminded me of an eagle's pupils spotting its prey.
"Yes."
"Then you'd understand if I invited you to dinner?"
I fell for it.
To think such a result would come from a single mistake in word choice.
This is what he was aiming for from the start.
There are actually limits to how much parents can interfere in their children's love lives.
They can't really meddle when two people are meeting because they like each other.
But a dinner invitation was one of the best cards a parent could play.
A card with duality that gives some pressure while also showing goodwill.
Yu Minhyuk had just thrown that at me now.
'I need to avoid confirming the relationship.'
If I go to Sujin's house and it's confirmed we're dating, I wouldn't be able to handle what happens next.
The most ideal way for me to live in this novel is to maintain amicable relationships with everyone.
In other words, rather than publicly acknowledging "So-and-so is my only lover!", I needed to spread a harem saying "You all love me, so endure it".
"I understand. Please let me know when you're available and I'll come right away."
Refusing here wasn't good for now.
'I need to coordinate with Sujin and make a script or something.'
I don't know when I'll be invited, but he'll surely give some time leeway.
It's her boyfriend (supposedly) coming to visit, so there's no way he'd call urgently.
"Then let's plan on this weekend. I'll tell Sujin the rest... See you then."
"Yes, I'll see you then."
With those final words, Yu Minhyuk stood up from his seat.
On the table remained two cups of marshmallow cocoa that hadn't been sipped at all, and one business card.
'Yu Minhyuk... He's not an easy opponent.'
This weekend means there's only four days left.
The original plan was to break up Yumin and Minsu within this week.
I was going to proceed as slowly as possible to avoid it becoming forced, but.
'I need to prepare right away as soon as I open this door and leave.'
How to catch two women simultaneously?
It was easier than eating cake.
++++++++++++++++++
'The traces of that skill use were clearly [Cleanup].'
Sub-skills can be similar, but it's hard for them to be completely identical.
'It's too identical.'
Because it was an F-rank skill, no one else noticed, but Yu Minhyuk himself did.
It was the first skill he obtained while working 15-hour cleaning part-time jobs 7 days a week during difficult times.
Therefore, the Cleanup skill was created based on 'Yu Minhyuk's cleaning habits'.
In other words, when Baek Taeyang had just cleared the hallucination dungeon, the surroundings were tidied up 'as if Yu Minhyuk had cleaned around'.
'I have a lot to ask this weekend.'
From his relationship with my daughter, to how he obtained the skill.
Yu Minhyuk was involuntarily exuding killing intent from being so excited for this weekend.
