Chapter 4
Why?
As she opened the record window, there was a friendly explanation: 〈Grab an innocent shopkeeper by the collar and raise karma by 10 points〉.
‘But my ears have become dirty because of that hairy man!’
Aside from that, the gentlest option was to grab him by his collar in the first place. It’s unfair!
Along with that, a notification sound effect was heard, indicating that the quest was completed.
———————————————
[Quest Complete! 〈Virginity Radar〉 acquired! 〈Secret Store Location Map〉 acquired! Congratulations.]
———————————————
Sylvia opened her inventory and tried on the 〈Virginity Radar〉 right away. Fortunately, the item, which looked like a pair of glasses, disappeared as soon as it was worn, so it did not affect her appearance.
As she looked down the street, whenever a man passed by, it said, ‘it’s a virgin, it’s not a virgin’.
‘I wish it didn’t read even needless kids.’
Sylvia, who was getting distracted by the chaotic virginity judgements, turned off the radar by pressing OFF. Then, looking at the inventory window that appeared in front of her, she selected the 〈Secret Store Location Map〉 with her hand.
A message appeared in front of her.
———————————————
[Secret shop location information: Run towards the dead-end wall between the tavern and the inn, shouting ‘Go to the secret shop!’
Note: Can be used when HP is over 120.]
———————————————
Running towards the dead-end wall. And on top of that, using it when you have more than 120 HP… Something felt a bit uncomfortable.
She didn’t have money to buy items right now anyway, so there was no need to go to the secret shop. Sylvia shook her head and closed the message window.
Just in case, Sylvia opened the system window again and saved.
She wondered what would happen if her karma went up a lot more. The word ‘karma’ itself is not a word with a positive meaning… The fact that her karma has risen by 10 points shouldn’t have that much of an effect, but… If it goes up a lot, won’t the possibility of a bad ending increase?
Sylvia, who was looking down while walking, lost in thought, bumped into a passerby.
“Ah!”
“Ugh!”
When she grabbed her shoulder, which had collided with the person, and looked ahead, her eyes flashed brightly as if someone had turned on the lights while she was sleeping.
‘Argh, it’s blinding.’
Sylvia rubbed her eyes and looked ahead, gasping in surprise when she saw the man’s face.
‘He is extremely beautiful.’
As she thought that was the reason why her eyes were flashing brightly, the handsome man, who seemed to radiate light as if he had a thousand fluorescent lamps, grabbed his shoulder and tumbled, frowning.
He was a handsome man with intense red hair that fell down to his ears and golden eyes that shone brilliantly.
Even though he had single eyelids, his clear, large eyes were impressive. The corners of his eyes were slightly raised, so even just standing still, his flirty personality flowed strongly.
‘I’m about to reach climax just looking at his face…’
He had a tall and strong physique, unlike his small face, and was grimacing in the aftermath of hitting his shoulder. Then, seeing Sylvia standing like a sack of barley, he wrinkled his face even more.
‘Ah, right. 〈Virginity Radar〉 ON!’
———————————————
[Targeting is not possible in the current state.]
———————————————
‘What? The status window does not pop up, I only get a message that he cannot be targeted.’
Sylvia paused for a moment and soon put on a satisfied smile.
Stupid game. Showing her a message like this, it’s telling her that he’s a virgin and that he’s a target character at the same time.
As Sylvia looked at the void with an evil expression and smiled, the man got up and approached her, frowning. She had taken a step back at the menacing movement, but was slowly pushed to the dead-end wall.
Bang! The handsome man performed the classic technique of kabedon.
(T/N: Kabedon refers to when a man hits a wall with his hand when entrapping a woman, usually seen in romance anime and manga.)
Although it was meant to be a threat, Sylvia was only momentarily startled and soon became ecstatic.
‘I wish he would treat me more violently.’
As the man, who was much taller than her, locked her up with both his arms, creating a barrier in front of her, a shadow fell over her face.
“What’s this? You bump into someone, and you don’t even apologize?”
“Ah, I’m so… I’m sorry.”
The man raised his chin, lowered his eyes, and looked silently at Sylvia’s face.
Seeing her trembling slightly with a reddish face, the man somehow felt uncomfortable because it seemed like he had become a bad person tormenting small and powerless animals. The man, who lowered his gaze with his slightly trembling thick pink lips, clicked his tongue once.
In fact, Sylvia was blushing and shivering in excitement about being pushed against the wall, but in the man’s eyes, it looked like she was trembling with fear.
“Forget it. You have no manners.”
He looked at Sylvia with a haughty expression on his face, then shook off his shoulders once and backed away. Then he walked back without hesitation.
Sylvia pouted her lips as she looked at his back.
He was rude. But he was handsome, so it was pleasing to her eyes.
That rude guy is one of the game’s target characters…
The thought of bringing him down to his knees and teasing him to her heart’s content in the future made her feel exhilarated.
As if he had felt a chilly energy, the man looked around, soothing his arm while his body shuddered.
By the way, if he’s a target character, shouldn’t she know his name?
Sylvia smacked her lips and grabbed the man’s firm shoulder, trying to reconnect even a little bit. Startled by the sudden touch, the golden eyes glared at her fiercely.
“What is it?”
“Well…”
When she opened her mouth to ask for his name, the options appeared without notice.
———————————————
1. You’re even ruder than me.
2. Try to kiss him suddenly.
3. Knock him out by hitting the back of his head at a high speed.
———————————————
What? What are these weird options? No matter what she chooses, it didn’t seem like it would turn out very well. Maybe no.1, which seemed to involve less action, would be better… Ugh…
Sylvia opened her mouth, in a cold sweat.
“You’re even ruder than me.”
“What? Ha, do you know who I am to be saying that?”
“Who… are you?”
“You don’t know me…? Forget it then. You don’t need to know.”
Roughly sweeping the bangs that covered his straight forehead, the man raised one corner of his mouth obliquely with a ridiculous expression.
He asked her if he knew who he was, and then said she didn’t need to know… He’s really rude. He has to tell her his name for her to know.
Well, it’s a face she will never forget even without an introduction. Burning red hair, golden eyes, plus those gorgeous features… She can’t forget it even if she wanted to.
‘Huh?’
At that moment, Sylvia flinched, and her body stiffened. His identity is unknown, but something ominous enveloped him, as well as a strong energy. Sylvia didn’t know how she could feel this energy, but it seemed to be an effect in the game.
He refused to introduce himself and is a character she can’t target, so her thoughts of wanting to talk to him more disappeared. Above all else, what more can she do in a situation where she has strange choices?
‘Well, since he’s a target character, we’ll meet again someday.’
“Oh, I see. Then, I will get going…”
As Sylvia took a step back from the man and tried to disappear, he blocked her way.
“Where are you going?”
When Sylvia looked ahead with a puzzled expression, the man smiled with an expressionless face as he raised the corners of his mouth. It was unbelievably cold.
“I was going to let it go, but… since you said I was rude, I have to show you what it is to really be rude.”
When he finished speaking, there was a beeping sound and a warning message appeared.
———————————————
[*Danger. This character cannot be targeted.]
———————————————
As soon as she saw the warning message, she suddenly remembered the words of the butler, Sevis, who said, ‘It wouldn’t be strange if someone hit you and you died.’ Ah, she shouldn’t have talked to him…
Whoosh— A flame was created on top of the man’s hand.
‘He was a wizard?’
Sylvia’s face turned blue at that sight. At that moment, another option appeared. With an added message.
———————————————
[Let’s punish the handsome man!
1. Try to kiss him suddenly.
2. Rip off the man’s clothes and admire his thick chest.
3. Knock him out by hitting the back of his head at a high speed and take him to the inn.]
———————————————
Are they crazy? What do they mean with an inn, in this situation? Can’t she just run away without making a choice?
Sadly, her feet did not move at all, as if they were glued together. Sylvia didn’t make a choice and stood there, blankly. 10, 9, 8… A countdown started.
‘Isn’t this an instant-death route? Gosh…’
The golden eyes stared coldly at Sylvia. Desperate, she suddenly changed her thoughts.
That can’t be, right?! If all the options are like this, wouldn’t that mean that the system can cause her to directly walk into such a thing?
It said that he is a character that cannot be targeted, but… Who knows? When it comes to R-rated games, aren’t the scenes the main purpose? When you play games, it suddenly flows into a racy situation.
As she rolled her eyes without saying a word, the man came closer to her with a cold, hardened face.
Even though it was an option in the game, it seemed unreasonable to tear off the clothes of a man who looked much taller than her, or to knock him out by striking the back of his head and then take him to a room at the inn.
‘I don’t know if it will raise my level a bit…’
Of the three options, the one that seemed the best was the option to kiss him. She also needed to kiss him to satisfy her self-interest.
After making the decision, Sylvia suddenly grabbed his head. The flame disappeared from the surprised man’s hand.
“What… What are you…”
“Aren’t you good? Stay still.”
Sylvia looked at the man’s eyes, which were wide open in embarrassment, and pressed their lips together.
“Hmp?!”
His lips were tender and soft. She could feel the cool mint scent on her lips.
Contrary to what she expected, there was no strong resistance. After rubbing lightly, she licked his upper lip with her tongue and bit it slightly with her teeth, and the man trembled weakly.
‘You’re not going to resist? Can I put my tongue in?’
Her soft tongue swam through the slightly gaping lips. After gently sweeping his evenly spaced teeth, she tapped his tongue; and the man’s tongue, which had been standing still, tried to hide inward as if stepping back.
‘I think it’s his first kiss.’
Pushing the man, who had turned obedient, against the wall, Sylvia continued kissing him.
“Nnhg…”
As the man let out a weak moan, Sylvia’s technique became more dazzling. She turned her head to scan his mouth, and when she gently touched his tongue once more, the tongue that had been hiding in shame gently entangled with hers.
