Heroine Hunts Heroines-Chapter 110
Choi Cheol-sik, who was unnecessarily setting the mood, carefully opened his mouth.
"Are you not joining Seoul, or is it that you can't?"
Oh, he's hitting the sharp spot now.
The distinction between "not" and "can't" must be because of the citizens’ transformation into monsters.
"To be honest, it's closer to the latter."
"The Association estimates that there are a few thousand of them. Most of them are..."
Choi Cheol-sik lowered his voice.
"Yes. They're monsters. At first, they might be fine, but it's obvious that they'll be isolated from society. So, it’s much better for me to deal with them outside."
It’s better for me to take them under my wing than to have them live in Seoul, where they'll be scorned.
And I will use the power of the monsters to fend off enemies in the fight against the Sin of Lust and get them recognized by society.
"I understand. Well, I’ll leave for now. But do you have something to say to Chajieun?"
"Oh, actually, I promised that if I win, I’d take her."
"Ho. It feels like just yesterday when you were crying and whining, saying it had to be Yoo Jin-seok."
He’ll probably still be like that. It’s just that I lost to him, and that's why this is happening.
"No, I..."
"You didn’t expect to lose, right?"
"Ah, well..."
Chajieun, unable to respond to Choi Cheol-sik's jab, lowered her head.
There had never been a time she lost like this, except to Yoo Jin-seok.
She had never fought directly with Seo Ji-yeon. Even if she did, she had no idea how to deal with Seo Ji-yeon beyond their natural combat traits, and there was no real reason to fight her.
"Take it as a good experience. Anyway, Yoo Jin-seok doesn't care about you... No, fine. I get it. Clear the ice. Are you still planning to continue?"
Chajieun, her eyes flashing with murderous intent, pointed her ice sword at Choi Cheol-sik before stepping back.
Well, if he’s asking whether I want to continue, the answer is obviously Yes. Even if it’s out of frustration, I’ll win her over.
If needed, I could sneak into her house at night and take her by surprise.
"Yes. After all, women who act tough are the most interesting."
"You really!"
"Well, it’s fine. We’ll talk about this later. Anyway, if you can make it to Seoul, we can meet anytime, right?"
"That’s true."
For now, I’ll let it go.
Right now, Seo Ji-yeon is more important. I’m in the process of winning her over, and there’s no reason to aim for Chajieun and risk lowering my affection with her.
Inducing jealousy is fine, but it doesn’t seem necessary.
I’ll make a separate promise to meet Chajieun later. The Guild Alliance began to retreat.
***
The battle between Songdo and the government ended with a victory for the Baekhwa Sect. The government suffered humiliation, with the president’s head removed and trampled by the beautiful villains, and hundreds of hunters affiliated with the Blue House were massacred. The Guild Alliance didn’t suffer major losses in the fight with Baekhwa Sect, but Chajieun was defeated by Baekhwa.
“Crazy, they actually won.”“Where did the people saying the government and the Guild Alliance would win go?”“Seriously, I made a killing with this treasonous bet.”“So, their skill must be at least on par with Chajieun, right? Chajieun is still competing for the top 2 or 3 spot among domestic hunters.”“Wasn’t the fight with Yoo Jin-seok more about him going easy on Chajieun?”“But didn’t Yoo Jin-seok back off this time?”“Guild Alliance was passive, didn’t you think?”“That’s because Songdo’s forces are strong. Even if they win, they’ll suffer huge losses. And if the Korean Guild Alliance takes too much damage, China will step in immediately. That’s something we can’t deny.”“Baekhwa Sect! Baekhwa Sect! Baekhwa Sect!”
Despite the government being toppled, the public’s response wasn’t as hostile as one might expect. In fact, the reaction was more along the lines of, “Did they really win?” Certainly, the Guild Alliance’s passivity played a role in this outcome. And then, I returned to Rachel. Ah, so Rachel has completely settled into her position as the legitimate mistress now, hasn’t she?
“How was it? You came back before it dried, didn’t you?”
As I quietly looked at the bed, the bodily fluids we had both spilled were still soaking it. I had kept my promise. In fact, the liquid the dragon had released didn’t dry that quickly—unless, of course, it was wiped away.
“No, seriously? The way you’re talking is just so crass.”
While we were fighting, Rachel had been sitting at her computer.
“What are you doing, mom?”
Reyna, curious, asked Rachel. Now that I think about it, she had been playing around with the internet recently. What could she be up to? I glanced at her computer screen and saw an online shopping mall open.
“I’ve started an online store, selling expensive things, and it’s selling really well. The rich are buying up everything.” “Rainbow Snake Wine, Elf Honey Liquor, etc. You’re selling alcohol?”
Rainbow Snake Wine sounded disgusting, so I wasn’t interested. But Elf Honey Liquor? That sounded intriguing. I’d never tried it before.
“Well, since it’s a home-based business, I haven’t put up too many listings, but still, putting the Elf brand on it and highlighting its benefits has helped it sell well.” “?? What are the benefits?” “Rainbow Snake Wine is made with a beautiful rainbow-colored snake found only in the Elf Kingdom.”
Ah, I see. That explained why sometimes, when I looked for her at night, she would disappear and I couldn’t find her. There was a reason behind it. But, strangely, I had never seen the alcohol myself.
“Why haven’t I seen it?” “You prefer cigarettes over alcohol. And Rainbow Snake Wine is more effective for men than women. And I’ve made you drink Rainbow Snake Soup sometimes, didn’t I? Not every day, but occasionally. Rainbow Snake Soup can instantly restore a man who’s been castrated by a gunshot to full function.”
“Ah, so it has that kind of effect.”
I recalled that sometimes there was a particularly stirring version of the soup that made things... well, more intense. They did mention a snake of unusual color. I always ate it with a heavy heart, but since they forced me, I ate it, no choice.
"Really?"
"Now that we’ve caught the president, does that mean we won?"
"Yeah, we won. The Guild Alliance retreated too. There’s still work to be done, though."
In fact, this was only the real beginning.
"Do you want me to help?"
"If you’re needed, I’ll call. It’s fine for now."
Rachel’s fine for now. She can make use of that Elf online shopping mall, right? If she makes some money, it will be useful eventually. I gathered the heroines in the living room. There were a few girls I wanted to see right away, but this wasn’t the time for that. After hearing Choi Cheol-sik's words, I had thought about things for a while.
Right. For example, the fact that their power was weaker than expected. Since the original storyline had already been twisted, this was something to prepare for. So, I decided to expand my influence.
"What do you mean by 'work'? What’s left?"
"Isn’t it enough that we stopped them?"
"It doesn’t seem like there’s any need for post-conflict recovery either."
The heroines, perhaps exhausted, looked somewhat tired. Lee Yoo-jung, already tired from human stamina, was sprawled out sleeping, and even Saimyari was sleeping beside her, along with the Fifth Unit.
"I took a look, and it seems Choi Cheol-sik isn’t planning on attacking us. Even Ha Jeong-seok, who was so firm about attacking us, has now become a bald man with only two strands of hair left. Now he has no hunters left either."
Choi Cheol-sik’s head now only had antenna-like strands of hair left. It would probably take a lot of time for it to grow back.
"So, what do you want to do?"
"We’ll expand our influence just like the Chinese warlords. We need to move down to Hoseo and Yeongnam. For now, let’s go down to Chungcheongdo."
Geographically, the locations in South Korea outside the capital region are easy targets, but to be honest, the cities outside the capital have lower-level hunters. There are plenty of A-rank hunters, but they’re not really strong enough to take on Baekhwa Sect.
"This isn’t like the Three Kingdoms period or the Warring States period in Japan. Isn’t it too dangerous?"
"Well, the government has already abandoned those lands. What’s wrong with us taking them?"
It’s possible. If we do that, the number of monsters will grow overwhelmingly. It’ll probably be in the tens of thousands. In the original, most of these monsters were killed off. When Yoo Eun-ha died, the gates that opened were that dangerous. The villains dealt with by Si-woo and the heroines were mostly the ones who got wiped out. Stronger-than-human-level monsters ended up dying.
But now it’s different.
Yoo Eun-ha didn’t die and became the reincarnation of Azidahaka.
What does this mean? We can integrate the overflowing monsters under Baekhwa Sect.
"At this rate, we might end up establishing a country."
"...Are you serious about trying it?"
Ha Jeong-seok is useless anyway. Should we just establish a monster nation and have some fun as the queen? With that ambition, the little dragon finally established the monster kingdom. …Well, we’ll just have to try it and think about it later.
We don’t know how large the monster force will be. Will it reach a million? It’s estimated that around 6 million people are trapped in the inundated areas due to the massive flooding. Even half of that would be fine.
With the catastrophic blow to the Hunter Association’s hunters and the subsequent annihilation of Blue House-affiliated hunters, the monster forces in the quarantine areas will have to cover the gap.
"Anyway, it’s not a bad idea. I’ll create my own forces in Hanseong too."
Choi Si-woo also actively supported the idea.
"Yeah."
Now that we’ve proven our power, the Korean government won’t think to easily eradicate us.

Blue House Secret Room
Yoozuki Shinohara, the leader of the Japanese Shinohara regime, frowned as she heard about the responsibility of Ha Jeong-seok, the bald man, from the Blue House secret room.
"Why didn’t Shinohara help?"
Ha Jeong-seok wiped his shiny head, his eyes bloodshot with frustration. Before the attack on Songdo, they had secretly made a Hunter information-sharing agreement between Japan and Korea, with the condition that Shinohara would assist. However, Shinohara didn’t move. Of course, since Shinohara didn’t fulfill her promise, she couldn’t receive the information on Korea’s hunters, which was regrettable, but there were reasons behind it.
"If we had helped, President’s position would have gotten even more difficult."
"What do you mean?"
"Honestly, wouldn’t you agree, sir? The Baekhwa Sect’s monster group. To deal with that, me and the Shinseonjo would have had to step in. As the battle grows, whether we win or lose, we would end up losing support, and the Prime Minister of our country would put pressure on us for privately helping Korea."
In the end, there was nothing to gain for either side. Personally, Shinohara had put the current Prime Minister in power, but if things went wrong, they might end up handing power back to the Prime Minister.
"Ugh."
"Baekhwa is the one who even defeated the Guild Alliance. Even if we publicly helped, the chances of winning are slim."
"I understand. You may go now."
Ha Jeong-seok finally calmed himself. Seeing this, Yoozuki Shinohara covered her mouth and chuckled softly. After a brief moment, she politely bowed to Ha Jeong-seok and, uncertain of what trouble he might cause, used a portal to return to Japan.
"Korea’s president really suits that bald look."
Shinohara Mariko, who had returned to Japan, burst into laughter.
"Yeah, Baekhwa did well."
"But about Yoo Jin-seok’s proposal, was it really a good idea to let Baekhwa know about the president’s secret room?"
Yes, at first, Shinohara had sincerely wanted to help Ha Jeong-seok and had planned to send some of the Shinseonjo. However, during the process, she encountered Yoo Jin-seok, who was working with Kim Ji-hye and the Unbreakable Hammer.
"Stop cooperating with Ha Jeong-seok.""Did you know why?""You can’t win anyway. Baekhwa is strong. Shinseonjo are powerful, but none of them are S-rank. Before you owe Ha Jeong-seok a favor, think about your family.""Understood. Since the first Sword Saint said so, I’ll watch and wait."
Once, Yoo Jin-seok, who had saved the world and stopped the Hellgate in Pyongyang, had advised not to oppose Baekhwa. Shinohara didn’t have to follow his advice, but it was also true that she couldn’t waste her family’s power on an unknown enemy. Even though she didn’t have to listen to him, she couldn’t completely disregard the first Sword Saint’s words. He had fought Baekhwa before. So, she decided to observe the situation. However, things took an unexpected turn.
Originally, she had only planned to watch, but Baekhwa had directly attacked the Blue House. Fortunately, she disguised herself as a fan and avoided any confrontation, but Baekhwa’s power was undeniably impressive. Instead of leaving traces of Shinohara in the Blue House, she decided to hand over Ha Jeong-seok.
She had received the signature after all.
"By the way, right now in Seongdo, there’s Yoo Eun-ha, and as villains, there’s Baekhwa. Korea sure is chaotic."
"Yeah, my friend Beommi went out with the Guild Alliance this time and watched Baekhwa and Chajieun fighting. She said she ended up wetting her panties."
Was the battle that intense? Considering the Blue House battle, it was certainly a battle that couldn’t be ignored.
"At least Japan is better off, don’t you think? The eastern erosion zone is harsh, but if we hold it, we can defend Western Japan."
"That’s right."
"Hmm, I miss Yoo Eun-ha."
Suddenly, Yoo Eun-ha came to mind.
Her shiny, silver hair. The golden, snake-like eyes. Her slender figure, with breasts that seemed to fill one hand. As I thought about her, I felt a slight tingling in my lower abdomen.
She really has a captivating beauty that can seduce even women.
"What?"
"Nothing. Let’s go inside."
"Yes, master."
After glancing down at her lower abdomen, Yoozuki moved toward the main Shinohara estate. It was another peaceful day in Shinohara.
