Heroine Netori 611

Chapter 611 – SAO(3)

The game wasn’t just about hunting and becoming stronger.

‘Quests’ were an element that made the game more interesting than expected.

“Already? “You’ve already caught all that?”

“Ahaha… It wasn’t a big deal, right?”

“Hey, girl, you’re a lot better than you look, aren’t you? Now, here is the promised compensation.”

Mr. Smith is surprised when he is informed of the subjugation.

And then I praise my skills to people… Hmm, I guess I picked it up pretty quickly for a beginner? There were only 10 slimes, but the response was good. Residents who had previously treated me as a stranger showed interest in me. It was a completely different reaction from when I first visited the village.

“Did you say Miss Yujay? I also have one favor to ask… “

“Oh, we’re first! “Can’t you see I’m waiting now?”

Wow, the game changes depending on my every action.

I was repulsed by the idea that it was an NPC, or AI, rather than a person… My thoughts changed when I saw that it looked so human-like. Aunt Emma bows her head and asks you to do her a favor, and Uncle Hans makes a tic while telling you to get the pay you want. Thanks to this, I felt immersed.

This was literally a virtual ‘reality’.

A world where I can become another ‘me’ and live a new life. In addition, this place where magic can be used and monsters exist… As the title suggests, it was ‘fantasy’. There was a reason why everyone enjoyed this game. I feel like I’m in a movie. My heart fluttered.

“I can give you a buff just by hugging me… How do you feel?”

However, the excitement did not last long.

A ‘linked quest’ that continues from the first quest received.

A request to subdue the blue slime.

For that, I headed to the forest again… The problem was that I was not alone. A man who shamelessly follows me and tempts me with vulgar words. Ugh, what are they planning to do again this time? I knew it was an incubus, but I had doubts.

“… “Really?”

“Of course. “I also don’t like rumors.”

However, it was also true that a buff was needed right now.

I was planning on finishing this quest and turning off the game… If things continued like this, it didn’t seem like it would end even if it took another two or three hours. A blue slime that has mana resistance, unlike existing slimes. Thanks to this, hunting time doubled. The amount of mana required was also the same.

Therefore, a buff is desperately needed.

Naturally, my eyes fell on the man.

“It’s different because you say you don’t want anything other than hugs.”

“… All right. Then I will ask you a favor. “Is it really just a moment?”

A man other than Siwoo, a pervert who sexually harassed me.

I felt bad just imagining having to be hugged by someone like that… Yeah, no matter what, this is a game. There was no need to feel so pressured. If it wasn’t a kiss but a hug, I could tolerate that much. Having deceived myself like that, I quietly opened my arms.

Eventually, the incubus approached me.

-Kkook

“… Ugh.”

“I’ll count to 5 seconds.”

His arms are unexpectedly reliable and unexpectedly warm.

The hug ended before I could even question the sensation.

Fortunately, the man kept his promise. The man stepped back after exactly 5 seconds, no more, no less. There were no unpleasant touches or unpleasant looks. Are you trying to keep your manners now? Although it was disgusting to ask for a hug in the first place… Anyway, I was able to receive the buff.

[Warm Hug: Reduces mana consumption by ’20’ for 5 minutes.]

Compared to ‘Playful Kiss’, it was a very disappointing buff.

“How are you? Did you check it?”

“Yes, it reduces mana consumption.”

“That’s right. “It’s just a necessary buff, right?”

“… “

But I couldn’t ask for more than that.

No matter how much it is a game, kissing is… It’s a bit like that.

Satisfied with just ‘reducing mana consumption by 20’, I focused on hunting again.

“… “Over here.”

“Huh?”

“Five minutes have passed.”

“So?”

“… “The buff is over.”

And 5 minutes later, I was hugged by a man.

Then another 5 minutes later, it was the same again.

Every time the buff ended, I continued to hug the man. Once behind a tree and once in the shadow of a rock, I didn’t want others to see me, so I hid in a deserted place and hugged the man. It was for the sake of a buff and a mana consumption reduction buff.

“Hey… “

“Call me Hito.”

“Yes?”

“It’s my ID.”

“Ah… Yes, Mr. Haito.”

“Do you want a hug?”

“… “It’s a buff.”

“It means the same thing.”

“It’s different.”

“Then don’t hug me?”

“… Just do it in moderation, really.”

Because of that, I felt like I was committing a sin.

Even though the intentions were different, it seemed like he was cheating.

Although it’s for the sake of a buff, the feeling of guilt rises every time the number of hugs increases four or five times. Holding Haito’s wrist while he was acting the other way… When I went into the forest and was hugged, I felt ashamed because I felt like I had become a low-class woman. It got to the point where I hated myself like this.

[Not enough mana.]

“… Huh?”

Moreover, after the level increased, even the buff became insufficient.

[Fire Ball Lv. 2 – Throws a fireball that deals 320 damage. (Mana consumption 25)]

[Fire Ball Lv. 3 – Throws a fireball that deals 680 damage. (Mana consumption 50)]

Fireball now requires 50 mana instead of 30.

Of course, the hunting speed had to slow down.

[Not enough mana.]

This time, my eyes fell on the man.

“Hug me?”

“… “Not that one.”

“What?”

“Are there any other buffs other than that?”

As a result of checking using Yoo Jin-hee’s personal information, it turned out that this world’s Si-woo was a pretty good boyfriend. He’s a game addict, so you might wonder what’s okay, but from what I’ve seen, Siwoo was well within the normal range. To be honest, Siwoo was not like Siwoo.

Even if you just play games every day, it’s normal if it’s not enough…

Taking a day off to go on a date?

Besides, do you make appointments even on weekends?

“Hmm.”

Yoo Jin-hee didn’t start the game for nothing.

Jang Si-woo when not playing a game was a difficult Si-woo to attack.

-Tiring

[Do you want to manipulate the odds? (Y/N)]

But on the other hand, Siwoo when playing games was always Siwoo. Whether or not he gets a call from Yoo Jin-hee, Si-woo only focuses on games during his time. After seeing that, I found Siwoo’s ‘The Fantasy’ account and placed an ‘account lock’ on it. It was a small consideration on my part.

“No… Why isn’t it just me?!”

“Puhup, you know that it’s not going to work out in the first place.”

“No, sir, there are 500 drop items, so why isn’t it only for me?”

Think about it, rather than a normal item popping up…

It’s more exciting to suddenly gain something after not being able to eat anything.

“Wahah! “I’m sorry!”

A rare drop item with a 0.001% probability.

The last of the last, a bargain at Jjinmakt.

Si-Woo, who tasted it every few days, changed as a person. I ended up running the dungeon five or seven times, which I would normally have completed after just three rounds. Won’t Goddess Luck smile on us this time too? That illusion led Siwoo to game addiction.

[Girlfriend: Siwoo, why didn’t you come today?]

[Girlfriend: Are you in any pain? ㅠ]

[Girlfriend: (rabbit worried emoticon)]

As a result, there was a natural opportunity to attack.

Siwoo started investing in games until he had to focus on reality.

As a result, Yoo Jin-hee, who had nothing to do, accessed ‘The Fantasy’… As I waited for that time, I went to visit YuJ and had a great time. Originally, she would have met Si-woo and confessed that she started the game, but… As the situation changed, I gained more leeway at work.

“Oh my, you two are hot today too.”

“Ah, ahaha… “There’s no relationship whatsoever?”

“I’ve seen it all, and you’re still going to deny it? Inside the Cernil Forest… “

“Ah, ah! Something suddenly came up, so I have to go first! I’m sorry!”

Thanks to this, I was able to play pranks like this.

“Wasn’t there anyone there at that time?! But why… “

“Maybe it’s because he’s an NPC?”

“NPC?”

“I think it’s coded to say something like that if you kiss someone in Cernil Forest. Even though it looks like reality, ‘The Fantasy’ is a game.”

“Joe, be quiet! “What are you going to do if you get caught?”

Coding and all, it’s a lie to fool hacking, but there’s no way Yoo Jin-hee knows that. Her face turned red at the word kiss, and she looked at her surroundings. She then sighed in relief when she made sure no one was there. Yoo Jin-hee, who has been kissing me and her since last time. It was a light kiss where only the lips overlapped, but it was visible that her guard had faded.

This was all thanks to Siwoo becoming serious about the game.

“More than that… Should we do it slowly?”

“Now, wait a minute! “We’re not in the village yet!”

“I told you. “The more dangerous the place, the greater the buff effect.”

“That’s true, but… “

“Or are you going to hug me every 5 minutes?”

“… One kiss was an hour, right?”

Jinhee Yoo quietly closes her eyes and raises her head.
I smiled at that and bowed my head and gave him a buff.
