Chapter 68 – Lotto Girl (4)
Ugh~.
A powerful and refreshing morning!
I opened my eyes and took a deep breath.
“This is so nice.”
Udelia and Soo-jung, lying on either side of me.
Seeing the beautiful women next to me made me smile.
The bed was so big that even with three of us, there was still space, but Delia and Soo-jung always snuggled up to me every night.
“Delia, did you sleep well?”
“Yes, Jin-hyun.”
I stroked Delia’s cheek, and she smiled, placing her hand over mine. She looked like she wanted a morning kiss, but since I hadn’t collected enough coins yet, I just enjoyed her touch.
“Ummm…?”
As I shifted my body, Soo-jung also groaned, as if she had just woken up. I had touched Delia’s cheek, so I had to touch Soo-jung’s too.
Mmm.
Both were so soft and nice.
“It’s not even 7 yet. Sleep more.”
“Uuuuung~.”
Soo-jung shook her head. She stretched cutely and then raised her upper body.
“Haaam… I should start waking up early like Jin-hyun and Delia. I’ve moved to daytime broadcasts, so I can fall asleep early too.”
Soo-jung’s messed-up sleep schedule, where she woke up late and did night broadcasts, had completely changed yesterday. She decided to sleep and wake up early with me and Delia.
“Then let’s all get up together.”
“Okay!”
We each washed up, and I performed the Thousand Mile Flame Qi Gong.
While I practiced, Soo-jung and Delia stretched and exercised. Delia showed Soo-jung various poses.
“We should make a gym in the house we’re moving to.”
It could increase their physique stats, but maintaining it was primarily up to the heroines. Let’s set up a gym and create a healthy harem.
“Oh. Can we do that?”
“Yeah. You saw the money in my account. Anything is possible.”
“Hehe. That’s true. It’s still amazing to think about. Winning the lottery.”
4 billion won was indeed a huge amount.
I wonder if we could make something like a fancy hot spring? First, the house we move to will be designed with a concept where we can enjoy things together.
Like a movie theater or a karaoke room.
‘Delia said the black room can be upgraded too.’
If the black room is upgraded, the number of rooms will increase significantly, and some facilities will be added.
If that happens, I can give each of my heroines a black room as their usual sleeping room, and the house we move to can be decorated for entertainment purposes rather than sleeping.
‘I’m curious about Delia’s hobbies.’
I want to decorate a room for her too.
Right now, she’s trying out various games on her phone or computer, but it just seems like she’s killing time.
Her stats are so high that she seems to be good at everything.
After completing Delia’s capture, I should take her on dates and visit various places.
Hmm. Should I buy her some books for now?
I plan to keep Delia as my secretary, but even as a secretary, I don’t plan to give her a lot of work.
I should spend my days calling work a date.
I can leave all the annoying tasks to the people below me.
‘But first, I need to decide where to move.’
Once I decide where to move, I can find things to do nearby.
Where would be good…?
Hmm hmm.
Ding-
Just as I was thinking, a message came.
It was Yoon Da-jung.
[Yoon Da-jung: Mister!!]
[Yoon Da-jung: Hiya!!!]
I could almost hear her cheerful voice greeting me with a smile right in front of me. It made me smile.
[Me: Yeah]
[Me: (An emoticon waving ‘hello’)]
[Yoon Da-jung: lol no]
[Yoon Da-jung: What’s with the ‘yeah’?]
[Yoon Da-jung: You sound like a real old man lol]
[Me: ?]
What the heck.
Me, an old man? That’s ridiculous.
[Me: Me, an old man?]
[Me: You’ll get old and become an old lady too]
[Me: Don’t let your guard down]
[Yoon Da-jung: ㅡㅡ?]
[Yoon Da-jung: No, I’m not???]
[Me: You said you were all grown up before, but now you’re denying it]
[Yoon Da-jung: I am all grown up though ㅎㅎ]
[Me: What grade are you in?]
[Yoon Da-jung: Senior in high school.]
What, what did she say…?
‘Senior in high school…?’
I felt a jolt of realization.
If she were a junior, I’d have to wait over a year, but if she’s a senior, things are different.
This.
I don’t have to raise her for long, do I?
[Me: Oh]
[Me: Then you don’t have much time left until graduation]
[Yoon Da-jung: lol yeah]
[Yoon Da-jung: And I’m a senior, but]
[Yoon Da-jung: I’m an adult by age!]
Huh?
What is she talking about?
[Me: ??]
[Yoon Da-jung: It’s a bit of a long story…]
[Me: Why? What happened?]
[Yoon Da-jung: Actually, when my dad left and everything got seized… my sister, mom, and I all went through a rough patch]
[Yoon Da-jung: My mom got counseling, and]
[Yoon Da-jung: I didn’t go to school and repeated a year]
Ah…
Oh, man.
That’s a sad story.
[Me: Sorry]
[Yoon Da-jung: Hey, why are you sorry lol]
[Yoon Da-jung: I’m the one who brought it up]
[Yoon Da-jung: Anyway, that’s why! I’m an adult by age. I can even get a driver’s license, you know?]
[Me: Wow]
[Yoon Da-jung: It’s just that I can’t buy lottery tickets since it’s only for those 20 and older, but I’m a proper adult!]
I felt my heart melt at Da-jung’s message.
Oh my god.
I don’t have to wait, I can just eat her up right away?
An adult high school student…
So hot…!
Possible…!!
[Me: You’ve really grown up]
[Me: I’m so proud of you]
[Yoon Da-jung: ??]
[Yoon Da-jung: You’re treating me like a kid for some reason ㅡㅡ]
[Me: No way]
[Me: But more than that]
[Yoon Da-jung: Yes?]
[Me: You surprised me by messaging me out of the blue, what’s going on?]
[Yoon Da-jung: Ah!]
[Yoon Da-jung: I was going to ask if you had any dreams lol]
I see.
She’s thorough indeed.
[Me: I didn’t have any dreams today]
[Me: It hasn’t been long since I won the lottery, so I don’t think I’ll have any for a while…]
Financially, it would be better for Da-jung to stop playing the lottery, but I didn’t stop her.
She only spends about 10,000 won a week anyway.
Da-jung was playing the lottery with hope. If she buys that thrill of “what if” for 10,000 won, it’s not a bad deal.
Besides, I’ll solve her problems anyway.
[Yoon Da-jung: Still, you never know. I’ll ask you every day since you might forget.]
Does this mean she’ll message me every day?
Anyway, that’s a good thing.
[Me: Okay. Good luck with school]
[Me: But if you repeated a year, aren’t you awkward with the other kids? With your friends?]
[Yoon Da-jung: Hmm]
[Yoon Da-jung: It’s a little like that. I feel a distance…]
[Yoon Da-jung: But there are a lot of kids who try to get close to me lol]
Well, with Da-jung’s looks, guys would be all over her. She looks cute to me, but to students her age, she might seem sexy.
She also has a good personality, so girls would try to befriend her too.
[Yoon Da-jung: But, actually, I deliberately kept my distance.]
[Me: Huh? Why keep your distance?]
[Yoon Da-jung: Because even if I get close to them, I won’t have much time to hang out]
[Yoon Da-jung: I have to succeed! The lottery is just something I try on the off chance, and my mom and sister are supporting my dream… so I have to work hard!]
She has a really great mindset.
Wait, what was I doing when I was in high school?
All I remember is going to the PC cafe every day.
[Me: That’s amazing]
I chatted with Da-jung for a few more minutes.
As we were having a light, everyday conversation, she said.
[Yoon Da-jung: Ah! I’m almost at school!]
[Me: Then let’s stop here]
[Yoon Da-jung: Okay lol]
[Yoon Da-jung: Ah, um…]
[Yoon Da-jung: Can I, um, message you tomorrow too?]
I imagined Da-jung blushing as she typed.
[Me: Of course]
[Me: Have a good day at school~]
[Yoon Da-jung: Okay!]
Da-jung said she keeps her distance from her friends and doesn’t hang out much.
So, maybe chatting with me is a kind of joy for her. I remember Da-jung smiling as she ate ice cream at Baskin Robbins yesterday.
Okay.
Once I solve her problems, I’ll play with her a lot.
She’ll be happy if I take her on lots of dates too.
‘Ah. But come to think of it, I haven’t even registered her yet.’
What am I doing?
I must be out of my mind.
I launched the Heroine app and immediately went to the Heroine menu.
—————————————————————————
[Heroine App – Heroine – General Heroine]
◆ Registered Heroines: 02 / 03
[1. Kang Soo-jung] (View Details)

◆ Would you like to add another heroine?
(Yes / No)
—————————————————————————
Of course, I have to add a new one.
I touched the Yes button, and a message appeared.
[Heroine settings are only available for people with a ‘Bond Level’ of 3 or higher.]
[Loading a list of people with a ‘Bond Level’ of 3 or higher.]
[Please wait a moment…]
A list appeared, and the names of people filled the screen.
I don’t need to look at anything else right now.
There’s only one spot left anyway, and I’ve already decided who to fill it with.
I scrolled down and found Yoon Da-jung’s name.
In her profile picture, Yoon Da-jung was smiling innocently.
[Name: Yoon Da-jung]
[Age, Gender: 20, Female]
[Tendencies: Benevolent, Responsible, Hardworking, Artistic]
[Occupation: High School Student]
[Favorability: 41] [Trust: 43] [Bond Level: 11]
“Ooh…”
Her favorability is already 41.
That’s incredibly high. Her trust is even higher, which is impressive.
“Her tendencies look really good too.”
Benevolent, responsible, hardworking, artistic.
I don’t know about artistic, but I could understand the responsible and hardworking tendencies from Da-jung’s behavior so far.
‘The artistic tendency was with Jang Ye-hwa, and the responsible tendency was with Yoo-jung noona.’
Okay.
I’ve decided on you!
‘Ah. But what if her level is too high and it doesn’t work?’
[Setting the person, ‘Yoon Da-jung’, as a heroine.]
[Connecting the threads of fate.]
[Please wait a moment…]
Whew.
Fortunately, that didn’t happen.
– Thump
A red thread shot out from my chest and sped away somewhere.
The thread, piercing through walls and moving forward, finally stopped moving after about 15 seconds.
My heart thumped again.
Me and Yoon Da-jung.
Our fates were connected.
[Successfully registered the person, ‘Yoon Da-jung’, as a heroine.]
[Entering ‘Heroine Capture Mode’.]
[Please select a ‘Capture Style’.]
[Each heroine has different ‘Capture Styles’ to choose from, and different ‘Skills’ are given depending on the selected ‘Capture Style’.]
As the message appeared, Yoon Da-jung’s capture styles appeared on the screen.
