Chapter 122 – 122. Ark 6
I went outside with Se-Ah.
Empty streets, empty cities.
A bloody date leisurely strolling through a ruined world.
“Do you need anything?”
“It’s a lot. I need clothes, I don’t have enough underwear, and I’m a bigot who doesn’t have anything.”
There is no way Se-Ah’s tone or behavior will suddenly change just because she opens her heart.
Grumbling and putting walls between us are still the same.
However, the way you speak is much softer than before?
Before that, it was a wall about 3 meters long, but now it’s a wall that you can see inside, about up to your chest?
“Follow me.”
“Where are you going?”
“Shopping.”
The supermarket is good, but I need to go to a place with more products.
I took Se-Ah and headed to the department store attached to the subway station.
There must be a lot of things here.
“Department stores… I don’t really like them.”
Se-Ah mutters barely audibly. Yikes. When I think about it, that’s right.
I approached Se-ah and held her hand.
Unspoken encouragement not to worry because we are together.
But Se-ah looks at me strangely as I hold her hand, and she says.
“Gross, why are you suddenly holding her hand?”
While doing so, he does not let go of the hand he is holding.
Ugh. Really… If you keep being that cute, I might just pounce on you.
A department store without people feels a bit shabby.
Well, that’s the same everywhere, but it’s especially bad here.
I don’t know why, but the first floor, where cosmetics and expensive stores were located, is in quite a mess.
Is there a reason for this place to be like this? I don’t know why.
“Let’s go upstairs.”
Compared to the first floor, the women’s clothing store on the second floor is neater, as if it had stopped in time.
Actually, there is no reason to plunder this place. Maybe it’s an underground food hall.
“There’s nothing to do here. Let’s go upstairs.”
“Huh? Why?”
Se-ah looks at me as if she is pitiful.
Ah. I guess there are no clothes worth wearing here.
SeAH headed to the 6th floor. Floor labeled Young & Sports and Outdoor Goods.
As soon as Se-ah comes up, she goes straight to the sports brand store.
I took out a backpack that was on display, looked at the hoodies and sweats, and diligently put the clothes that fit my size.
“Are you the only one who wears clothes like that?”
She looks at me pitifully again and opens her mouth.
“As you can see, my body is shaped like this.”
“What’s wrong with that? It’s just good.”
Se-Ah shakes her head and continues to pack the clothes.
I found some sports underwear on one side, carefully selected it, and put it in my backpack.
It’s such a difficult life.
I’ve never thought about choosing underwear before, so there’s no way I could understand something like that.
“Are there no underwear in a place like that?”
When I pointed to a women’s underwear brand store, he glanced at me and then went back to his work and spoke.
“Yes, there may be, but I can’t wear something like that. It’s not my style. I don’t have the size.”
“Really? That’s a shame. It would look nice wearing something like that.”
“Oh my. Why am I wearing underwear to look good?”
“That’s right. My thoughts were short.”
I sat leisurely on the chair next to the escalator and waited for Se-Ah to choose clothes.
After taking a while to pick out her clothes, Se-Ah came towards me with a fully-filled backpack on.
“Did you pick them all?”
“Approximately.”
That’s rough? Also… You can’t go shopping with girls. I feel like my lifespan is shortening.
“Let’s see.”
After saying that, Se-Ah went into her underwear brand that I mentioned.
“Huh? I heard there’s nothing there?”
“Ah. I’m just waiting.”
She went into the store and searched for a while, looking at everything.
I wonder if it will take long… Why are you so strict?
After almost turning the store upside down, he puts something in his hoodie pocket and returns to me as if nothing had happened.
“Looks like you got something?”
“Ah. What are you really so curious about?”
I don’t understand why they show each other their naked bodies and then do it with only their underwear on, but I guess that’s how a woman feels.
In fact, men don’t even care about women’s underwear.
I like the process of taking off everything, but I can’t even remember things like the color or shape of my underwear.
Hmm. Should I look forward to it next time we meet? I think I chose it very carefully.
As I walked down the department store, I spoke to Se-Ah.
“Sea.”
“Why?”
“There is a condition to learn the second skill.”
“Suddenly such a story? Tell me. What is it?”
“Mastery of the first skill and a large amount of coins.”
“Coin? How much?”
“Well, the useful skill is around 200,000 or 300,000.”
“… You’re crazy.”
“That’s why I’m asking. You need a lot of coins to learn the second skill. But there’s only one way to get coins in this world.”
“I know. So?”
“Can you do it? Kill someone to become stronger?”
“Ha. What a fucking world it is.”
SeAH is silent for a moment.
“But no matter how you kill me, there is no way to kill me.”
“Of course I plan on feeding it to you. Scoop it up with a spoon and right in front of your mouth.”
For the safety of the logistics center, there must be at least one detection skill.
I would like to have Seung-gyu’s daughter learn detection, but… She said the child was too young.
We still have to wait a few more years before we can act like humans, and it is doubtful whether we will all be alive by then.
It would be easier for Seung-gyu, who has the electric shock skill, to earn coins, but it would not be very wise to give all the power to Seung-gyu.
We have to somehow divide, keep each other in check, and join forces for the logistics center to run properly.
“Ha. It’s not an easy thing to say.”
“I don’t want to force you to do anything harsh if possible. But then you will end up weakened. This is not the time to be talking nice. To be honest, if I decide to go and kill everyone in the distribution center right now, it won’t take a few hours. If you don’t want to get caught like that, it’s not the time to be cold or hot. You have to build strength no matter what you do and use that strength to ensure safety.”
Se-ah made a complicated expression at my calm words.
You probably know that I’m not bluffing. Because I watched the people I thought were my nightmares pass away in an instant right in front of my eyes.
“There’s nothing I can’t do. My life is the most important to me.”
“Think about it more. If you’re worried, talk about it with the leader. Do you feel a little burdened about speaking because you’re a man?”
“I also talk to people when necessary. Don’t turn people into patients.”
“Yes. That’s a good attitude. There’s no need to lock yourself away. All the guys who bullied you are dead. They were the problem, not all men were at fault.”
“You sound good. You’re a man, so you don’t understand.”
“No. I understand. If you look at me, I am a perpetrator. Just like those people who did that to you.”
At my words, Se-ah looks at me with an anxious expression.
It may be an act of throwing a tantrum to say all this after creating a good relationship, but in the end, it is something that even Se-ah needs to know.
If you’re going to get hit anyway, it’s much better to get hit beforehand.
I have no intention of telling Seunghee or Mina in detail what kind of person I am.
Because I have no intention of leading them to kill people.
But SeAH is different.
I have no intention of leaving her as just her sex partner.
I want to make it so that we can travel together and fight together when necessary.
I’ll suddenly become a tsundere loli with big tits and a half beautiful girl training sim, but I can’t do everything on my own forever.
“I am a worse piece of trash than you think, and if you hang out with me, you will see me like that often. So think about it carefully. You can either stay within the line and only help me with what I need from time to time, or you can completely cross the line and get dirty with me.” Just look at it.”
Se-Ah said nothing. Well, it’s something I can’t answer right away.
I wasn’t planning on hearing the answer right now anyway.
Return to the logistics center on an electric wheel.
The cool October breeze and high blue sky make it quite good weather for riding an electric wheel.
The bag full of clothes looked heavy, so when I offered to carry it, Se-Ah scoffed.
“How can I survive in a world like this if I can’t even carry this much bag?”
Okay. That kind of mindset.
This is why I like SeAH.
It’s not a skill specialized for her survival, but it’s a respect for the fact that she survived this world alone with her weak body.
I highly value that aspect and recognize that kind of grit.
When I was almost at the logistics center, I remembered what Jinyoung had said.
UTP cable. Oh, I didn’t look for that. What… There’s nothing we can do because she can’t see the store.
I can’t go back now… I have to go out with Jinyoung anyway. I’ll get it later.
While I was thinking that, SeAH slowly reduced the speed of the electric wheel.
“Huh? Why?”
SeAH came to a complete stop and got off the electric wheel.
I too got off the electric wheel in confusion, and Se-Ah came up to me and said.
“Oppa.”
“Oh.”
“Ah. If you’re going to say something weird, I won’t say it.”
“Okay. I’ll keep my mouth shut.”
When I lower my tail quickly, he seems satisfied and continues talking.
“I thought about it the whole way. It may be a hasty judgment, but there’s nothing wrong with what you said. So I’ll do as you say. What should I do?”
I couldn’t hide my joy at Se-Ah’s words.
She is a smart woman after all. And I like that confidence.
“I thought well. First, it’s winter soon, so I won’t be able to go out often. For now, aim to master the skills on my own. Use the unlocked skills to the limit you can use every day without using potions or anything like that. It’s best to do this before going to bed. Then Because I can sleep well.”
“And?”
“For now, aim for that. And when I go out exploring, you can go out together. Let’s take it a little slowly. There’s no need to rush. And… Don’t worry too much about killing people.”
“I understand.”
Se-ah tried to get on the electric wheel again and came back to me and said.
“Listen for a moment.”
“No, there are only two of us. Why should we whisper something?”
“Give me some ramen.”
I bent down and placed my hand on her ear.
Then Se-Ah grabbed my face and kissed me just like that.
It happened so quickly that her lips fell before she could come to her senses.
Then Se-Ah spoke to me without getting on the electric wheel.
“I’ll go in like this, so don’t follow me.”
“No, but I still have to go to the entrance…”
“Please listen once I say it. If you follow me, I’ll pretend nothing happened. I’ll never call you that again.”
“The threats are so scary.”
“If you understand, let’s go. I’ll go.”
Se-ah turns around and walks away.
I think I saw her face turn red right before she turned around… So that’s it.
I was so scared of Se-Ah’s threat that I couldn’t move.
Still, just in case, I turned on the detector to check for Se-Ah’s presence.
The person caught at the end is probably Jinyoung or someone else guards the entrance to the logistics center… SeAH walked eagerly and entered the logistics center.
This is so… I feel like I just came out looking for porn and ended up getting more.
Cute guy. It won’t be boring to explore in the future.
