Chapter 217 – Gathering Connections (6)
“I had a really great time today.”
“No, not at all. Please get home safely~.”
“Please take good care of Yujeong and Dajeong in the future as well.”
“Of course.”
I see my mother off with Yujeong outside the first-floor cafe.
My mother says goodbye to me, then turns and stands in front of the crosswalk. I look at Yujeong.
“Sis, you should see Mom off too.”
“Huh? Is that okay?”
“Of course.”
“Hmm, okay!”
Yujeong glances around, then gives me a quick peck on the lips.
“Hehe.”
“What if the cafe staff see us?”
“The rumors have already spread anyway~.”
Yujeong giggles.
“Then I’ll be back?”
“Okay, go ahead.”
“Okay.”
My sister runs over and sticks right next to her mother. I quietly watch them.
Yujeong’s mother, Yoon Na-eun.
‘Well, indeed…’
It was worth raising her appearance and body stats to 60 with items.
I even used an expensive heroine app item that makes her physical age younger.
Looking at her now, you could easily believe she was a beautiful woman in her early 30s.
Seeing her talking and laughing with Yujeong is quite a sight.
It would be perfect if Dajeong was there too.
Then it would be sisters + mother-daughter donburi.
‘Perfect…’
Is this the beauty of life?
The reason Yujeong’s mother came to the cafe today was to thank me for taking good care of Yujeong and Dajeong.
I waved my hand, saying it was nothing, and gave her a detailed tour of the cafe.
I showed her the room where Dajeong usually draws her comics and how Yujeong works.
I was confident because the working environment and hygiene were thoroughly managed. My mother seemed very satisfied as she looked around.
‘The problem is how to target my mother…’
I rested my chin on my hand.
In the case of Yoon Na-eun, who I registered as a sub-heroine, there wasn’t a specific targeting style.
There were no skills gained when registering, and no events occurred. Even after the targeting is complete, no score is given, and there are no rewards.
That’s the difference between a regular heroine and a sub-heroine.
Well, the only consolation is that if you reach 100 favorability, the trait shop opens just like a regular heroine.
And the fact that the favorability doesn’t drop below 100 is the same as a regular heroine.
Of course, there are no discounts in the trait shop based on points… but I have more than enough coins.
I now have over 2 million coins, and I get 40,000 coins a week just from interest.
‘So, this means I have to decide on the concept and design this targeting myself from the beginning…’
Should I try using the new skill I got this time?
That thought suddenly occurred to me.
The skill I got this time, Dream World.
A skill that invites the consciousness of another being to the dream world I created.
After hearing a detailed explanation from Delia, this skill was quite something.
Dream World was basically a dream world, but the person invited to that world feels what happens there very realistically.
In other words, they vividly feel the situation with all five senses.
If you get slapped in the dream world, it hurts as if you were really slapped, and even after waking up from the dream, the memory and aftereffects remain in the body.
The time ratio with reality was also 1:5, so you could spend more time in the Dream World.
It seemed like I could take better care of the heroines I hadn’t been able to focus on as much in the Dream World.
‘Nice.’
Then, wouldn’t it be okay to target Dajeong and Yujeong’s mother, Yoon Na-eun, a little more lewdly?
*Clink-clink*
I went back into the cafe.
As I was about to go up the stairs to the second floor, Lee Shin-ah approached me with a meaningful smile.
“Sa~jangnim?”
“? Is something the matter?”
“I saw it.”
“Saw what?”
“Don’t play dumb. The kiss, the kiss. Hehehe.”
Lee Shin-ah made a person shape with her fingers and pretended to make them kiss by bumping them together.
Ugh.
I sighed and went back up the stairs.
******
“Oh, what’s this? A drive today?”
Copying money?
It was as easy as eating cake for me.
After showing Yujeong’s mother around the cafe, I followed the golden light shown by the Luck Tracker and crisscrossed the stock market.
As I was diligently making money, I received a text from Ye-hwa saying she would arrive at the cafe soon.
[ Ye-hwa♡ : I’ll be there in about 5 minutes! ]
[ Me : Really? Should I come out to the first floor? ]
[ Ye-hwa♡ : Okay, okay. ]
I went outside the cafe and waited for her.
As I stood quietly by the side of the road, a car stopped in front of me. Looking closely, it was Ye-hwa’s car from before.
Ye-hwa smiled.
“Jin-hyun, you paid for the trip~. I’m going to pay for today’s date.”
I got into the passenger seat and fastened my seatbelt, saying,
“Oh, that’s great. Where are we going?”
“Hehe. A restaurant my parents and I used to go to often. It’s not far from here.”
Ye-hwa drove for about 10 minutes and stopped the car in front of a building.
The exterior looked quite stylish.
“Oh, is this it?”
“Yeah. The first and second floors here. It’s a restaurant run by a famous chef who appears on TV. The first floor is Japanese style, and the second floor is Korean style. Which floor should we go to?”
Ye-hwa asked.
“Hmm. What about you, Ye-hwa? If you’ve been here often, you must have a floor you like more.”
“Well, I like both of them too much. You choose the floor you’re more drawn to, Jin-hyun.”
“Then let’s go to the second floor.”
“Hehe, okay.”
The basic set menu was 30,000 won per person.
Once you come in, the set menu is automatically served, and you order additional items separately.
“Here’s the set menu for two~.”
“Ah, thank you.”
A large tray contained appetizers and various dishes in small portions. The food itself was luxurious, but it seemed like the set menu alone wouldn’t be enough.
Soon, rice and soup came out, and Ye-hwa naturally took out her phone and took pictures.
“Jin-hyun, look here. Strike a pose.”
“Huh? Like this?”
“Ah, that’s great~. Should I take a picture?”
*Click-*
Ye-hwa took several pictures of me and the food. Every time she took a picture, the corners of her mouth went up.
“This time, let’s take a picture together.”
“Okay.”
I moved closer to Ye-hwa and sat on the chair next to her, and she snuggled up to me.
“Hehe, make a V.”
A fragrant scent hit my nose.
Ye-hwa’s long, straight hair brushed against my neck. When I looked at the phone, she pressed the shutter button again.
*Click-*
“Ah, that’s great.”
She seemed satisfied, thinking it turned out well.
“But Ye-hwa.”
“Yeah?”
“You didn’t used to take this many pictures before, did you?”
“Ah, that’s true. But I’ve been influenced by you a bit, and also…”
“Also?”
Ye-hwa’s eyes lit up for a moment.
“Su-jeong declared war.”
“Ah.”
Pfft, I automatically laughed. No wonder Su-jeong was taking pictures so diligently last night. Was it because of that?
Ye-hwa glanced at me and added in a small voice.
“And… I just like taking pictures with you too.”
“Why have you become so cute?”
“Let’s eat quickly! You can order more if you’re not full.”
“Really? Everything here?”
Ye-hwa tilted her head and looked at the menu.
Spicy stir-fried octopus for 24,000 won, braised short ribs for 32,000 won, etc…
The menu was filled with quite expensive dishes. Ye-hwa looked at me with wide eyes.
“Can you eat it all?”
No way.
Maybe Delia could. Her stomach was practically cosmic.
“No way. I’m just kidding.”
“Me too~. But if you want to eat it, you can order everything, of course. It’s fine.”
Ye-hwa’s smiling face suddenly felt very lovely.
I moved my face closer to her and said,
“Ye-hwa.”
“Yeah?”
“Can I kiss you?”
“N-now?”
“Yeah.”
“Uh, that…”
Ye-hwa looked around. It was a clean restaurant. But it wasn’t a room-style, just an open space.
There were quite a few staff members. If we kissed, they would definitely notice.
“Let’s do it in the car later…”
“Pfft, okay.”
I didn’t expect her to think about it so seriously.
I really want to pounce on her.
But of course, I had no intention of showing Ye-hwa’s skin to anyone.
I’m not into exhibitionism, and I don’t like outdoor play because I’m worried someone might see us…
‘Huh? Wait, outdoor play?’
I trembled at the sudden thought.
The biggest problem with outdoor play is that someone might pass by and see us. But, come to think of it, I now have the skill called ‘Dream World.’
I can create the dream world as I please, so if I recreate the outdoors in a similar way and do it there, wouldn’t that be outdoor play?
After all, only me and the invited person are in the dream world, and the invited person can’t tell if it’s reality or a dream.
I could enjoy the heroine’s reactions to my heart’s content.
‘Ooh yeah.’
As I was thinking that, Ye-hwa asked,
“Jin-hyun, aren’t you going to eat?”
“Ah, I should eat. I’ll eat well, Ye-hwa.”
“Okay, enjoy your meal.”
Ye-hwa smiled.
After saying that, she just stared at me, as if she was waiting for me to eat.
I first took a bite of the steamed egg that came as an appetizer. Ye-hwa immediately asked,
“How is it? Is it good?”
“Hmm… Oh? This is quite something?”
I was surprised because it was more delicious than I expected. Ye-hwa, seeing my expression, said happily,
“Right? This place is better than most fine dining restaurants.”
“I think so too. Oh, this is really good too.”
I then tried a piece of meat and a spoonful of soup.
Both had a very clean taste. It wasn’t that it wasn’t salty, but the saltiness seemed to have seeped in naturally.
Anyway, it was a taste that showed why Ye-hwa often came here with her parents.
We continued our meal in a good atmosphere.
“That’s 106,000 won.”
“Here you go.”
“Okay, I’ve received your card~”
We ordered LA galbi and marinated crab as additional dishes. The meal for two cost over 100,000 won, but Ye-hwa’s face was full of satisfaction as she paid.
It seemed like she was happy that I enjoyed the meal.
From the beginning, she didn’t hesitate to spend money when buying those expensive high-end music equipment.
When we first ate together at Outback before I started targeting her, she didn’t use the 200,000 won allowance she received from her father and just paid for it herself.
Well, back then, she paid because she didn’t want to be treated by someone like me, so the nuance was different… I’m sure I was also caught by her when I was sucking on the fork she was using and she gave me a look of contempt.
It’s a bit embarrassing.
“What are we going to do now?”
“I don’t know, should we go to a karaoke room? Or shopping?”
“Ah, karaoke sounds good! Jin-hyun, are you good at singing?”
“Hmm, just average?”
Actually, I was very confident.
That’s because I unlocked the singing specialization stat and raised it a bit.
I had so many coins. I unlocked the specialization stats for things that would be fun to do with the heroines and raised them a bit.
The protagonist of a hunter novel I recently read also created a singing-related trait with points and impressed everyone.
When I saw the reactions of the women in the novel, saying things like, ‘What is that voice…’ singing was a pretty good way to gain favor.
“What about you, Ye-hwa?”
“Me too, just average?”
We headed to a karaoke room.
When we grabbed the microphones and started singing, it didn’t take long for Ye-hwa to realize that her saying she was average was just a lie.
Su-jeong was also quite good at singing, but Ye-hwa was even better.
After being surprised by each other’s skills and singing excitedly, we naturally headed to Ye-hwa’s house and laid her down on the bed.
“Spread your legs.”
“Uhh, ah…!”
What I realized while having sex with her was that Ye-hwa seemed to like giving commands in a slightly low voice.
“Where do you want it today?”
“B-both…?”
When I asked while touching her pussy and butt, Ye-hwa answered while leaking fluids.
“Hmph, you’re such a pervert.”
“Uhh, you’re the one who made me like this… Hngh!”
“Open your mouth.”
“Um, chomp, chomp, mwah…♡”
I shared a deep kiss with Ye-hwa and inserted my finger into her anus.
******
“Then I’ll go?”
“Okay. See you tomorrow~.”
I say goodbye to Jin-hyun in front of the front door.
His face suddenly came close, and Ye-hwa closed her eyes and slightly pouted her lips.
“Um, mwah…♡”
A thrilling sensation ran through my body.
Even if it wasn’t a deep kiss, it still felt that way.
Jin-hyun took his lips away, smiled once, then turned and went back down the stairs.
Ye-hwa watched until Jin-hyun was out of sight, then closed the door and went to her room.
“Hum-hum, hum-hum~.”
Jang Ye-hwa hummed a tune.
Today was so much fun too.
Of course, it wasn’t just fun.
‘It was so good…’
When I thought about the sex from a little while ago, I felt a blissful sensation all over my body again.
“I took a lot of pictures too.”
I looked at my phone and smiled.
Pictures taken at the restaurant, pictures taken at the karaoke room, and even, lewd pictures…
After selecting the best pictures, Ye-hwa sent a text to Su-jeong. She didn’t send the lewd pictures via text, only the normal ones.
‘What clothes should I wear tomorrow?’
I made plans to eat with Jin-hyun again tomorrow.
Ye-hwa, looking at her closet and pondering, started trying on various clothes.
“This? Or this?”
As she was wondering which clothes would suit her, her phone suddenly vibrated.
*Bzzzz-*
‘Huh?’
I quickly checked the text, thinking it might be Jin-hyun, but unfortunately, it wasn’t.
Still, it was a pretty welcome text.
‘Ah, it’s the real estate agent.’
Ye-hwa checked the text.
[ Good Future Real Estate : Someone contacted me saying they want to visit unit 403 around 2 PM tomorrow~ I’ll show them around. ]
She currently owned two buildings.
Among them, there was one empty unit in another villa where she didn’t live, where someone had moved out and no one was currently living.
She had put it up for rent, and it seemed like someone had quickly said they wanted to see it.
She had already given the password to the real estate agent.
[ Me : Okay, please take care of it~. ]
Ye-hwa quickly replied.
