I Became a Foreign Worker Loved by Transcendents

Creak, creak.

At some point, the sound of wood creaking began to be heard.

I realized it was the sound of the bed shaking, and my focus shifted to the blurry figure now in front of me.

Before seeing anything, I first remembered the sensations touching my body…

Chuup, eut.

The hot sensation on my lips.

As I traced it down, something wedged between my lips and teeth, spreading warmth throughout my body.

It was as if someone were breathing into my mouth…

“Haa, haa♡”

The woman who had been kissing me was now breathing into my mouth with her tongue and breath.

“Hyo-sung, how are my lips?”

My focus then sharpened, revealing a very familiar face.

As soon as I saw her characteristic smiling eyes, a chill enveloped my fevered body.

“I’m getting quite hot, and I don’t think I can hold it in any longer.”

“Me-Merilyn. What the… Gasp!”

“Haah, uh, Gasp~♥”

My breath caught in my throat as our kiss resumed.

I felt my brain boil with the passionate atmosphere that ensued, but a greater sense of dissonance made me shiver.

She always carried a playful air but maintained a quiet and dignified atmosphere. What was this situation now?

Why was she lying in bed with me, clad only in her underwear, kissing me?

“Don’t worry.”

She ended the kiss and looked into my eyes.

Her half-closed eyes shimmered as her slender fingers trailed from my chin to my neck and then softly swept across my chest.

“Don’t worry about anything… Just enjoy this moment.”

The moment her caressing hand slid down my skin, reaching my lower abdomen and further down, I felt a chilling sensation seep into my confusion as she, perched atop me, began to chuckle.

“Woo Hyo-sung, have you wanted to do this since you met me?”

“No, no. That’s not…”

“You don’t have to hide it. After all, it’s just a dream, so feel free to let go.”

A dream?

What did that mean?

“Yes, it’s a dream. Everything happening now is just a momentary dream.”

I accepted it quickly.

After all, I had met her only the day before, and we had promised to meet again tomorrow.

How could I consider this absurd situation a reality when I remembered it clearly?

“But to dream of doing this with someone I’ve met just once, even in a dream…”

She chuckled, “Fufufu.”

Then she leaned into me and pressed her lips against my shoulder.

In a low whisper, following her licking and nibbling at my ear, she said,

“Woo Hyo-sung, you’re a pervert~♥”

Caught up in the ecstasy, my reason faded, and my hand began to reach toward her.

And then…

Chirp! Chirp!

The sound of birds chirping outside the window.

Startled, I sat up in bed, quietly gazing out the window as if to chase the remnants of the dream I had just had.

While the chirping heralded the morning, on the branches of the tree beside the inn’s second-floor window, I saw two squirrels.

“Kyu?”

“Kyu~!”

The squirrels caught each other’s eye early in the morning. After a moment of friendly interaction, one lay on the ground, presenting its lower body to the other.

The positioned squirrel began vigorous movements with its waist.

“Kyuuk! Kyup!”

“Kyuukk!”

I watched, dumbfounded, for a few minutes.

Seeing them enter what’s known as ‘wise man’s time’ stirred frustration within me.

Damn, even the squirrels were having sex in the morning; why was I still a virgin?

I lamented briefly, thinking I needed to find a girlfriend quickly. I liked to avoid pointless fantasies about others.

Rustle.

As I sat up, I felt something slide down my lower body, accompanied by a stickiness.

Unable to ignore it, I reached into my pants, and a chuckle escaped me.

“…It’s a perfect day to die.”

The sunlight was quite strong. I wondered if the river water would be warm today.

“Excuse me? You want me to ride in the luggage compartment?”

After enduring those suicidal urges and getting ready, I headed to the assembly location specified in the request.

The numerous carriages in front of the gates, surrounding the system, looked more like cargo wagons owned by merchants than a form of transportation provided by the adventurers’ guild for adventurers.

And that expectation was likely correct.

In reality, if it were a garrison area, supplies were often managed by the merchant group, and adventurers of lower rank were usually treated no better than cargo.

“Judging by the time you were called here, aren’t you a newcomer who just recently became an adventurer?”

“They’re transporting us to our destination for free and even providing food, so we should endure this much. Of course, if a magical beast attacks, they might ask us to escort them.”

“Ah yes, if you’re a newbie, you have to endure it.”

Well, it’s fine. I’d been treated worse when I was a porter, and getting upset over something that had already been decided was only a loss for me.

Wasn’t it fortunate enough that they didn’t ask me to come on foot?

“Woo Hyo-sung~ Over here~”

While searching for a suitable place among the merchant carriages hired for supplies, I suddenly noticed someone in the back seat of the luggage compartment recognizing me and waving.

Merilyn Sutherland.

Yesterday, we had become temporary companions as fellow adventurers, and she was the one destined to save my life through a prophecy.

“Good morning. Did you sleep well last night?”

There was a need to close the distance between us, but for some reason, I felt awkward getting closer to her.

Just facing her reminded me of the dream I had before.

“…Woo Hyo-sung?”

“Ah, yes. I slept… well.”

It wasn’t just good sleep. It was a blissful night.

Facing the one responsible for it, who was smiling cheekily, made me feel guilty, but nevertheless.

“Anyway, it looks like your outfit is different from yesterday…”

“Ah, this one?”

She pointed out the noticeable part and soon replied with an unconcerned smile.

“There was an accident on the way to the inn yesterday, and my clothes got dirty.”

“An accident?”

“Don’t worry, I wasn’t hurt much. I’ve left the clothes for laundry, so I’ll get them back when I return…”

Well, if she said she was fine, I guess there was no need to worry more about it.

But her new attire was vastly different from before, creating a significant disconnect from the image I had always had of her.

“Black doesn’t show dirt much, so it’ll be fine no matter what happens. How is it? Does it suit me?”

“Oh, yes. It suits you well.”

From pure white to the contrasting black…

Such a contrast seemed to evoke a sense of immorality, as if it highlighted the sensuality hidden within her modesty.

Yes, just like what appeared in the dream I had before.

‘Woo Hyo-sung, you are a pervert♥’

…Calm down, Woo Hyo-sung.

It was just a dream.

Even if Merilyn was playful, she was serious when she needed to be.

“We’re about to depart, so adventurers sharing the ride, please take your seats!”

“If you don’t wear your safety belts and fall off, we’ll just leave you behind. Remember that!”

As the time to depart approached, the voices of merchants echoed from all around.

Adventurers in the same situation as us found their places, and I took my seat behind Merilyn in the wagon and put on my safety belt.

With that, the cargo wagons started moving forward with a clattering sound.

Although slow, the thought of being in a position to fall more easily than the cargo in case of an accident didn’t allow me to be entirely at ease.

The unease was even greater considering that Merilyn was with me…

“Is the seat uncomfortable? Are you okay?”

“Haha, I’m used to this, so don’t worry.”

“Ah, now that I think about it, you said you’ve been wandering outside the empire, right?”

There were other groups where people congregated, but beyond the empire, every other place was rumored to be akin to hell.

Simply the fact that she had traveled alone through such regions indicated her expertise in handling various crises.

“But today, perhaps due to the sun’s intense rays, it feels rather warm.”

“Yes, well, since your clothing is black, it must be even hotter… Choke!”

I was in agreement with her when her sudden movement unexpectedly took my breath away.

The moment she yanked the front of her robe, which she had donned over her sweat-soaked face, she lamented the heat.

Concurrently, the revealed ample flesh formed such a pronounced cleavage that it cast shadows…

“Phew~ Now I can breathe a little easier~”

“Um, Merilyn?”

“What seems to be the problem?”

“No, I just mean… Be a bit more cautious with your movements…”

“…Oh my.”

As I swiftly diverted my gaze and fumbled with my words, Merilyn belatedly realized what she had done.

After glancing at her own exposed cleavage, she caught me peeking, and her smile widened.

“Haha, am I troubling you?”

“It’s not about being troubled. I’m just concerned…”

“Is that the complete truth?”

Swoosh.

I heard the sound of her clothing dragging along the wagon floor.

“Woo Hyo-sung, could you please look this way for a moment?”

Feeling her draw nearer, I promptly turned to gaze at the forest outside the wagon and stuttered in response.

“No, that’s not appropriate…”

“So it does trouble you, doesn’t it?”

Yes, it troubled me enormously.

In all honesty, it was distracting me so much.

Recalling yesterday’s dream, I’m experiencing all sorts of emotions, and it’s perilous, so I’d appreciate it if you don’t approach me any further.

“Ah~”

Merilyn giggled mischievously, observing my perturbed expression, oblivious or apathetic to the turmoil within me.

She then stealthily approached me, who was pressed against the wall as far as possible, and whispered seductively into my ear.

“Woo Hyo-sung, you’re such a pervert~♥”

It was the same line I had heard in the dream…

No, what I was hearing now was even clearer than in the dream.

Unlike the dream where anything could happen, now I feel like my repressed desires are being tested.

Thud!

The wagon shook violently at that moment.

Her body, losing balance as she approached me, couldn’t withstand the shock and began to rise from the seat.

“Oh? Oh my?!”

She wouldn’t fall because of the safety belt, but unfortunately, the direction she was flying toward was not good.

Damn, if this continued, my hand would touch her chest.

Her ample chest in my hand… No, I couldn’t become any more trash than this!

Thud!

At the end of that inner conflict, I managed to twist my body and successfully raise my hand upward.

Then, the coachman, having stabilized the wagon’s shaking, turned to us and expressed his concern.

“Oh no, it seems like the wheel got caught on a rock. Are you folks in the luggage compartment okay?”

“Ah, yes. We didn’t fall off.”

I responded immediately to the voice coming from the driver’s seat.

However, not falling off was the only good part. The situation wasn’t great.

I managed to avoid touching her chest with my hand, but her hand was precisely touching between my legs.

“…….”

After tens of seconds of ominous silence, it seemed as if neither of us had fully grasped the situation.

Then, she put a little force into her fingertips and started to admire, rounding her lips towards me.

“It’s quite hard.”

A strike from a blunt question without any filtering.

“Is it because of me?”

Two strikes followed that.

“No, no. It’s because of the groin protector.”

“Ah~ A protector~”

Swiftly swinging the bat to at least make a foul ball, she looked down at her hand placed between my legs with an exclamation.

And then, seizing the opportunity again, she threw a fast-pitch comment.

“Wearing a protector means it’s okay to touch, right? I’m curious. Can I touch it more?”

“…Please don’t.”

Even with a protector on, one could still feel the touch from outside.

Just that was enough to cause a terribly sensitive reaction. Damn, I was so agitated last night. Why can’t I calm down now?

“Uh, Merilyn, even though you like to joke around, this kind of thing should be moderated…”

“Haha, sorry. It seems I inadvertently made you uncomfortable.”

Did she have some awareness of how she appeared?

Afterward, she withdrew from me for a moment, then tilted her head and began to rest it on my shoulder.

“Merilyn?”

“You are the first, Woo Hyo-sung. Throughout my travels, I’ve never felt this comfortable with someone.”

“……”

“…So, this much is okay, right?”

Rattle, rattle.

The sound of the wagon wheels moving carefully along the rough forest path filled the air.

Relieved that the sound masked the pounding of my heart, I quietly placed my hand on her shoulder and pulled her towards me.

It was all an effort to prevent a repeat of the previous situation.

Thus, reassuring myself, I cautiously closed the distance between myself and this fox-like lady.
