Chapter 35

Chapter 35

When Noel covered his mouth with restlessness, Sevis looked at him with a worried expression.

“Mr. Priest, have some water. It looks like you’re choking.”

“No, I’m fine… Ugh…”

“Miss Sylvia, Mr. Priest doesn’t seem to be feeling well.”

When Sevis spoke to her, Sylvia responded casually.

“Is that so?”

“No. It’s not that… Ah… It’s a little hot inside the restaurant…”

She continued stroking Noel’s calves in a sexy way as she ate her food. The only conversation that continued at the table was between Noel, who was blushing and breathing roughly, and Sevis, who was worried.

Sneaking around with Sevis next to her and caressing Noel with her feet was more thrilling than she thought. The immoral act of having both the man she was about to screw and the man she was going to screw when he became an adult in front of her! If she did this in real life, she would be the world’s biggest sl*t, but this was inside the game.

‘Hehe. How is it? Do you think you’ll c*m while sitting down?’

Sylvia continued her subtle movements, swallowing the words that would make Noel pass out from shock had he heard them. At this point, he just kept his head lowered like he was digging into the table, with his hands covering his red face.

“Ahh… Ah…”

In the strangely heated atmosphere, Sevis looked at Noel with questioning eyes.

Noel could barely eat. Sylvia caressed Noel’s legs with her feet like crazy while eating the noodles gracefully with her hands, like a swan on a lake.

Sevis slurped the udon soup as he watched Noel letting go of the chopsticks and completely lowering his head, and then awkwardly opened his mouth.

“Mr. Priest, should we stop eating and get up now?”

“Sevis, Mr. Noel has hardly eaten anything.”

Sylvia ate the noodles elegantly and stopped Sevis.

“Ugh… I will finish the food. You can go first.”

“But still… We should go together.”

At Sevis’ words, Noel instantly slammed the table and shouted.

“No! I… ugh…! The truth is… I like eating on my own! … Ah! Please go!”

Sevis got up in surprise at Noel’s outcry, who seemed to be furious. As he got up, he didn’t forget to grab the shopping bag with the clothes that Noel bought him.

Sevis looked at Noel, worried for a moment. Noel waved his hand. And he stammeringly told them to go quickly because he thought God was angry at him for having skipped the meal prayer and he wanted to pray for a long time.

It would be awkward for Sylvia to stand still in this situation, so she followed Sevis, who was pulling her arm, and reluctantly got up from her seat. She smiled casually and made eye contact with Noel.

“Then, we’ll get going, Mr. Priest. Thank you so much for buying us clothes!”

While Sevis went to the counter first to pay for the noodles with the money they used for their living expenses, Sylvia approached Noel, who had his head lowered, and whispered in his ear.

To tease him without fail.

“Mr. Noel, how was it?”

“… Sorry?”

“I asked how it was.”

Noel stared blankly at Sylvia’s green eyes with an awkward face. He seemed to be grasping the intention behind her words. Sylvia smiled brightly, pretending it wasn’t that, and then put on a calm expression.

“I’m asking how the jjajangmyeon was. It’s a dish I’ve never eaten.”

“Ah…”

“What you’re not eating always looks more delicious. Then, I’ll see you tomorrow.”

“Yes, see you tomorrow…”

Noel’s answering voice was hoarse. He seemed to be completely turned on.

———————————————

[With Sylvia’s impressive footwork, Noel’s friendship increased by 10 points.]

———————————————

His friendship was now at 85. Her behind-the-scenes operation was a success.

As they walked out of the noodle house, Sevis tilted his head and opened his mouth.

“He said that God was angry because he didn’t pray for the meal. I guess the god Mr. Noel serves is a little stingy.”

“It seems like it. Sevis! Let’s throw away our worn-out clothes and wear the new ones.”

“I’m excited just thinking about it. I was unhappy because there were only ragged clothes in the closet, but I’m going to turn all our worn-out clothes into a mopping cloth.”

Smartly, Sevis planned to use the worn-out clothes as cloth to wipe the floor of their home instead of throwing them out. Listening to him, Sylvia patted his black hair as if he were cute.

Their steps as they walked to their house were infinitely light. Sevis was happy to have gotten new clothes, and although Sylvia was also happy about that, she was also satisfied to have made Noel horny today.

‘Given the speed at which his friendship is going up, I’ll be able to target him sooner or later.’

While she thought about how to target Noel in the future, Sylvia and Sevis arrived home. As soon as they walked inside, they excitedly changed into their new clothes.

Of course, Sevis changed in the bathroom, and Sylvia changed in front of the closet. It was unfortunate that the two didn’t strip off while looking at each other and changed their clothes, but that wasn’t happening.

“Oh?”

The moment Sylvia changed into her new pastel yellow dress, a message popped up.

———————————————

[For not wearing ragged clothes anymore, Sylvia’s public evaluation went up from Righteous Beggar to Righteous Citizen 1. Now, you won’t get the dead-ending tied to a tree by angry imperial women and stoned to death even if you target virgin handsome men.]

———————————————

‘What, so I would die even if I succeeded in targeting if I was wearing ragged clothes?’

Sylvia was horrified by the announcement that the dead-ending had disappeared. A cold sweat flowed down her back.

Opening the record window again, she read it slowly. It was a dead-ending that she hadn’t experienced yet, so she looked at the details.

———————————————

[Dead-ending: Tied to a tree by angry imperial women and stoned to death.

– The sin of recklessly scoring the handsome virgin that all the women of the empire want is not light. Sylvia aroused the wrath of the imperial women.

You, who f*cked a glorious handsome virgin man when you are nothing but a beggar, were dragged to the middle of the square and tied to a tree… blah, blah, blah…]

———————————————

‘Isn’t this crazy? It’s not like I’m an outcast.’

This damned game was highly discriminatory against the poverty-stricken, as the gap between the rich and the poor was wide.

Sylvia frowned at the dead-ending explanation, thinking how the rumor that she had targeted a handsome virgin man had appeared and what was it with the stoning.

‘It’s really…’

But if a monk doesn’t like the temple, he should be the one leaving. Sylvia, who could not leave, had to accept the rules of the game even if she did not want to. Although she felt a bit wronged, luckily, she had avoided the stoning ending.

‘It’s really ridiculous. So it wasn’t about money, but clothes?’

When she looked closely at her public evaluation, she could see the details.

———————————————

[Righteous Citizen 1

– With the buff Righteousness, there is a 10% chance that the merchant who recognized Sylvia will give a discount on the price of items.

– Citizen 1 people mostly judge others based on their appearance. Sylvia, who has become a Citizen 1, won’t be despised and discriminated against for no reason because she is not wearing ragged clothes anymore.]

———————————————

She had wondered how everyone knew she was a beggar, and it was because of her clothes.

She didn’t recognize that obvious thing because of the preconception that it was a gaming world. Even in real life, if someone is deep in debt, no one will think they are poor if they wear expensive clothes.

Thinking that simple logic was a game trick, she accepted it as a problem of possessions. She had no idea she had to change clothes, and judged that she would escape being a beggar if her money increased.

‘If I had bought new clothes a long time ago, it would have been different! It was really foolish of me.’

It felt as if the thoughts that had been blocked had become clear. Although this game world was deceiving, there was also a lot of realism.

‘From now on, I think I should make judgements that are closer to reality.’

“Ta-dah! Miss Sylvia. Please look at me.”

Sylvia was shaking her head as she looked at the status window, but Sevis came out of the bathroom with joy.

Doing a small swirl in the middle of the room, he showed off the new clothes he had bought.

Wearing a stylish, blue, silk dress shirt and properly fitted black pants bought from the boutique, and not a tattered piece of fabric with broken threads, Sevis looked like a young master of a prestigious family.

Thinking that he had now put on an outfit that matched his cute and luxurious face, Sylvia was deeply moved.

‘And to think that the kid would have looked like a young master just by wearing the right clothes, and was wearing rags… I committed a sin.’

The master’s circumstances reflected on the servant.

Fortunately, since she had become a citizen of the empire, Sevis also became the butler of the lowest-ranking citizen. It meant that now, she wouldn’t hear anyone calling her a beggar, whether it was inside the tavern or in the streets.

Suddenly, Sylvia started wondering. What would change if her public evaluation went up from here?

Could she become a noblewoman? Maybe one day she would be able to enjoy a banquet in a fancy dress, as she has seen in other web novels.

‘Then, if I catch the attention of the young tyrant emperor, a crazy obsession will begin…’

Deluded for a moment, Sylvia’s eyes sparkled as she wiped the saliva around her mouth.

‘Anyway, it is a long way from now… I need to know more about this world in order to attack properly.’

She thought she should look for an encyclopedia related to the imperial lifestyle in the library of the temple.

All the books she glanced at when organizing the library were religious books, but she thought there must be at least one or two books related to the empire.

After dinner and before going to sleep, Sylvia opened her inventory to check the items.

She could try the High-Quality Fishing Rod again when she went to the beach, but the fact that she had to prepare herself lingered on her mind.

Even if she faced a dead-ending, she could return to the automatic save point when she left the house, but she had to be careful because she could actually feel the pain.

‘No matter what I do, it’s not enough to be careful. Let’s wait a little bit longer. Until after we clear a new dungeon.’

She received the Dungeon Respawn Ticket for free, but she didn’t want to use it on a low-level dungeon like the Coastal Cave. Come to think of it, didn’t Sevis say he couldn’t find a new dungeon?

Concerned about what to do this week, Sylvia called Sevis, who had just lay on the floor.

“Sevis!”
