Chapter 34

“It’s still a little…”

Sylvia, who paid 1100 gold to purchase only the 〈High-Quality Fishing Rod〉 and the 〈Compliance with Game Deliberations〉, told Secret, who was standing with a disappointed face, that it was only the beginning of the game and that she would collect more money and come back.

“Yes, come back anytime. You’ve only just started playing the game. When you get to go to higher-level dungeons, please come back. I’ll show you more items.”

After leaving the item showroom and completing the payment, Sylvia looked at the potions in front of the counter.

‘Oh, I almost forgot. I should buy potions just in case.’

Mana potions, HP potions, and other miscellaneous items were scattered all over the counter. She didn’t need to buy a mana potion right now. She didn’t have magical skills or anything.

As she picked up five health-recovery potions that were 300 gold each, just in case, Secret smiled wide and showed his gums. Because she also picked the potions, she received a Dungeon Respawn Ticket that was given when making purchases of more than 2000 gold.

“If you make purchases of over 10,000, 20,000, or 30,000 gold, I’ll give you even better free gifts. You have to come before the 50th game day to get a lot of free gifts, so make sure you come.”

“A-ah… Yes.”

“Even with the receipt, there are no exchanges or refunds… It’s over once you leave this place, pushov… I mean, dear customer. Also, you have to pay 300 more gold.”

“Why?”

Standing in front of the counter, Secret’s tone strangely became more businesslike.

“The 300 gold for the health-recovery potion you took earlier, dear customer.”

“… It wasn’t free?”

“I never said that, dear customer.”

“It was given unilaterally…”

“Choosing to drink it was your choice, dear customer.”

“Wow… Here, the 300 gold.”

‘This old man is good at doing business…’

Secret, whose first impression was that of a bum on an uninhabited island, had now reverted to being that of a perfect merchant.

Sylvia bowed her head and said goodbye, putting the items she had purchased in her inventory and leaving the secret shop. As she was leaving the store, Secret turned to her and said that 〈Compliance with Game Deliberations〉 was active from the moment she purchased it, so she shouldn’t worry even if it wasn’t visible.

‘I should go to the beach soon and try the High-Quality Fishing Rod.’

Sylvia looked at the detailed description of the 〈High-Quality Fishing Rod〉 she had put in her inventory.

———————————————

[High-Quality Fishing Rod

– A good fishing rod that can’t be compared to the 〈Bad Fishing Rod〉.

It can catch and pull up any being of any weight. Maybe you’ll be able to catch an unimaginable creature. You may have to prepare yourself for it?

Using a fishing rod without being prepared may have irreversible consequences.]

———————————————

With her experience of being fooled by the secret shop guide, she carefully read the detailed description of the 〈High-Quality Fishing Rod〉.

It said to prepare herself. Was an octopus monster going to appear?

‘No way… This is supposed to be R-rated, not XXX-rated. We’re not going to move past the s*xual romance category, right?’

Thinking illogically for a moment, she shook her head. Then, she moved on to the detailed description of the 〈Dungeon Respawn Ticket〉.

———————————————

[Dungeon Respawn Ticket

– Respawn an already cleared dungeon.

(Respawn: Restore to its original state.)]

———————————————

‘It’s a hard game, but I can just respawn it? They’re even giving me a respawn ticket.’

Sylvia tilted her head with a frown. There are so many different items, how could they put all of this inside a single CD? Based on the items sold and the scale of the game, it seemed that it was originally an online game.

‘Maybe I could have bought all those expensive items if I had put money in the game.’

It looked like an online game, but why was it made into a CD? The developer seemed to be the type to make vain efforts. Whatever it was, given the circumstances, she wasn’t in a position to worry about the game developer.

Sylvia dusted herself off and moved again.

Drum-twang, drum-twang.

‘What is this noise?’

A suspicious hammering sound was coming from the corner of the alleyway. It was obviously a quiet alley with nothing but a secret shop when she came, but a ghost seemed to be wailing.

‘What is it? What else is here besides the secret shop?’

Glancing furtively at it, a suspicious group wearing grey capes was making strange installations.

‘There’s no need to pretend to know and stir something up. I don’t think there’s anyone handsome either.’

She turned on the 〈Virginity Radar〉 just in case, but it didn’t catch anything.

Sylvia, who wanted to eat the dinner quickly, turned her attention away. However, as she didn’t know what troublesome thing could happen under the rules of the game, she crept through the alleyway on the tips of her toes so as not to be noticed by the group.

She wondered if she had to bump into the wall even when going back, but luckily, a black gate had formed on the wall through which she passed. She would really let out a curse if she had to get covered in blood again.

After passing through the gate and returning to the restaurant, luckily, no more than five minutes had passed in the game world.

As she returned to the table, the hot jjamppong, jjajangmyeon, and udon they had ordered were being served. The steamy jjamppong had squid in it, and it looked very appetizing.

Although real food was appearing in what was clearly a fantasy game with a western background, Sylvia, who was now adapted to this world of crossovers, was confident that she would not be surprised even if a wedding with the grooms wearing hanbok happened at the wedding hall.

“Wow, it looks delicious!”

“It’s hot, so eat carefully.”

“Enjoy your food, Miss Sylvia, Mr. Priest!”

Seeing Sevis’ glittering eyes, Sylvia was secretly astonished.

‘Poverty really is a sin.’

He was taking care of Noel like he would treat a teacher, as if he hadn’t grumbled before.

Isn’t there a saying that no one can beat poverty? As they suffered from tireless poverty, even though it was only the 13th day of the game, Sevis let go of his vigilance against the priest for just a few clothes.

Noel, who bought Sevis’ favor by buying him several new and beautiful clothes, ate the jjajangmyeon elegantly as if it were pasta served in a restaurant.

He looked at Sevis and Sylvia, who took care of each other like family while eating the delicious food. Apparently, Sylvia was taking care of Sevis like a younger brother.

Although it seemed that they had a butler-master relationship, hearing them speak, Sevis spoke very familiarly to Sylvia, even though he used honorifics. Sylvia looked at him happily, meticulously taking care of him while eating the noodles.

‘It would be natural for them to be close since they live together, but I don’t feel good about it. I want to ask how they ended up living together, but we are not close enough to ask about personal history…’

Without knowing Noel’s inner thoughts, Sylvia smiled softly and held out the side dish in front of Sevis.

“Here Sevis, eat the pickles too.”

“I don’t know if it’s just me, but I think eating udon and pickles together is a bit weird.”

‘They look like some kind of siblings.’

He sighed in relief, feeling somewhat relieved. He could not picture the two people talking like a family developing into a man and woman relationship.

Above all, the wolf shifter in front of him was not an adult. He didn’t know when he reached adulthood, but Noel thought that there was no way Sylvia would be attracted to him in his current child-like appearance.

‘No. What am I thinking again?’

Noel, who was conscious of Sylvia as a woman before he even realized it, was jealous of Sevis for living with her.

‘I can’t be like this. I shouldn’t see her as a woman. In addition, Sylvia must be thinking of Sevis as just a cute little brother.’

Biting his lips so as not to let it show, Noel couldn’t understand the delusions he had made. It was a judgment he could make because he didn’t know Sylvia’s immoral thought of wanting to buy the growth booster in the secret shop just a moment ago.

After taking a few bites of food, Sylvia, who was a little full, began to think a little differently. She could feel the tip of Noel’s shoes, sitting opposite her at the round table, with the tip of her feet.

‘Shall we do some more work here? This isn’t because I’m a pervert. It’s because I have to raise his friendship and go to heaven as soon as I can.’

Sylvia, who was making excuses as if she were talking to someone, thought hard about what maneuver to put in place as she roughly put the jjamppong noodles in her mouth.

Thinking about what happened in the library today, it was time to continue with a subtle skinship. Noel, who had at some point reached 75 points in friendship, didn’t hate her skinship.

The table was lined with a long tablecloth, so the people’s feet couldn’t be seen underneath it. Sylvia, who stroked the tablecloth for a moment, had a perverted idea flash through her mind.

Before implementing it, she felt somewhat sorry for Sevis, who was smiling and eating the udon without thinking about anything, but a player who was desperate to attack should not lose their cold-hearted mindset.

Brush.

“Ack!”

Noel, who was eating the jjajangmyeon elegantly, coughed briefly as if he had choked. Sylvia had taken off her shoes and stroked Noel’s leg while only wearing her socks. As her toes slipped inside his wide slacks, like a snake sliding over a wall, and started tapping on his leg like a piano, Noel coughed with a flushed face.

Unaware of the situation, Sevis looked at Noel, who had his eyes wide open.

“Mr. Priest, are you alright?”

As Sevis tilted his head and worried, Noel smiled as he wiped his mouth with a napkin.

“I’m… I’m fine… Ugh…”

Sylvia gently rubbed the sides of Noel’s sexy footballer-like calves hidden inside his slacks with the instep arch of her foot.

Surprised, Noel tried to push back the chair, but there was nowhere for him to retreat to as he was sitting against the wall.

He looked under the table for a moment, embarrassed, then looked up and stared blankly at her, the owner of the foot.

Calmly putting food in her mouth, Sylvia smiled, curving her eyes. While Sevis was busy eating, she licked her chopsticks while staring Noel, who had lost his mind, in the eyes.

‘It means I’ll soon lick your lower part like this chopstick. You can’t help but get horny like this.’
