Chapter 230 – Crossing Paths
* * *
“It’s just sesame seeds pouring out.”
Seunghee turned into duck lips and grunted.
This was what I said when I saw Changjae and Seolryeong who had just come out of the bathroom and entered the room.
The two hats couldn’t say they were in a good mood until they entered the bathroom. However, whatever happened inside, when they came out, they were so close that even most newlyweds would be envious.
“Seunghee, are you jealous?”
“Ugh.”
Seunghee was speechless at Kaylee’s casual question.
“… Honestly, well, I’d be lying if I said it didn’t happen.”
These are two people who have already seen each other through many times.
Even if it was embarrassing, there was nothing to hide.
“But sister, is that right? “Changjae oppa always says he’s good and loves you, but he doesn’t do half as much to us as he does to you, right?”
Kaylee laughed lightly at Seunghee’s complaint.
“It can’t be helped. “I’m a human being.”
“You too, my sister. We need to make a stronger request. Fight! Unity!”
Seunghee clenched her small fists, ready to go on strike.
“I have enough right now. On the contrary, I am grateful just for being treated as well as I am now.”
“Haaa~.”
Seunghee touches her forehead as if she can’t communicate.
Kaylee spoke as if scolding Seunghee.
“Family is the most important thing to everyone. Especially since her older sister is mentally unstable. Changjae must be paying a lot of attention, too.”
“Ugh~ I’m unstable too~.”
“If you say that, you’re healthy.”
“Aang~ I want to receive it too~.”
Seunghee sat on her chair and fluttered her legs as if she were dissatisfied.
Then, his expression changed as if he remembered something.
“Sister. But.”
“Yes.”
Seunghee lowered her voice for no reason.
As if telling a secret story.
“How much of her coins has your sister saved?”
Even if you say it normally, the mother and son who enter the room won’t hear it.
Seunghee was watching for no reason.
“What about Seunghee?”
Instead of answering, Kaylee asked back.
She asked Seunghee not because she was particularly curious, but because she decided that she had something to tell about coins.
“… “Actually, I passed 10,000 coins a long time ago.”
Kaylee’s judgment was exactly right.
When there was something on her mind, Seunghee would often confide in Kaylee like this. It was usually small things like that, such as sneaking out and eating ice cream alone.
“But I lied to Changjae oppa. “There is still a long way to go.”
“Why?”
“I’m afraid they’ll kick me out if I tell them I’ve collected 10,000 coins.”
The goal would have been to save the dead brother by collecting coins.
Even though she met her goal, Seunghee’s expression was grim.
“After saving my brother, we can’t stay here together, right? Even if you force yourself to stay together, it will only make you uncomfortable. However, I can’t send my brother to live alone. Because I have no choice but to go out together.”
Nod. Kaylee quietly listened to Seunghee’s words.
It wasn’t that I didn’t understand. If Seunghee’s older brother was an adult man, it would be difficult for her to live as freely as she does now. Inevitably, I will have to leave the hideout with Seunghee.
“If you have coins, you can save them at any time. That’s what I thought, so I put it off. But things turned out like this…”
The terminal’s functions were blocked, and saving my brother became difficult.
Seunghee was feeling guilty about that.
“It would still have helped if my brother had survived. I really can’t help you, right? Now I have nothing to say even if I just get kicked out.”
Changjae received a dangerous mission. If Seungpil had been alive, he would have been more helpful than Seunghee.
However, Seunghee felt like she had committed a great sin because she kept her mouth shut even though she had a chance to save his life.
“Seunghee.”
Sniff. Kaylee comforts Seunghee, who is wiping away tears.
“Actually, I also exceeded 10,000 coins.”
“… Huh?”
Seunghee’s eyes widened at the unexpected words.
“Uh, huh? Really? “You’re not lying to comfort me, are you?”
“Yes. It’s true. “The reason for not saving Noah is slightly different.”
It was the same with Kaylee who saved up all her coins and kept her mouth shut. With that alone, Seunghee felt like the burden on her heart had become lighter.
“The reason I didn’t save Noah was because of Noah’s education.”
“… Education?”
“Yes. “If Noah survives, wouldn’t it be bad for her education if she sees her mom having sex with a man other than her dad every day?”
I do it in front of my young son.
When Seunghee imagined such a scene, her mind became dizzy.
“That… “I guess that’s true?”
“So I told Changjae. He saved 10,000 coins, so he asked if he could stay like this a little longer.”
“Ah. “Did you say something?”
“Yes. Then Changjae said he understood and thanked me for saying that even though I was already worried.”
“Ah…”
Seunghee’s expression became even darker.
“I should have said that too… !”
Seunghee became very nervous. It was like when I found out that my friend, who I thought would be punished for not doing his homework, actually did it perfectly.
“It’s okay, Seunghee. Changjae probably thought the same thing about Seunghee.”
“Ugh… Is that really true… ?”
“Yes. Just as I was worried about what I would do if my son was brought back to life, I would have worried the same about Seunghee.”
“Or what? What if I get kicked out for not telling you in advance?”
“It can’t be. I won’t be seriously angry at Changjae’s personality. Even if he gets angry, he will still punish you harshly.”
-Aaaaah!
At that moment, a loud moaning sound was heard from the room.
Usually, I tend to suppress her voice while doing things. Then she would eventually burst out like this.
Kaylee and Seunghee already know each other very well. Now I can roughly imagine what’s going on in the room just by hearing the sound.
“You like Seunghee too, right? “Slutty punishment.”
“Tsk…”
Changjae’s punishment is usually to sexually harass a woman until she screams. Seunghee and Kaylee both had their own experiences. And she even enjoyed it quite a bit.
Kaylee smiled brightly and Seunghee’s face turned bright red. They must have imagined what kind of punishment they would receive.
“So don’t worry too much.”
“Well, if I get hit too hard, will you help me?”
“Sure. “I will change players.”
“Sister…”
Seunghee’s eyes brightened as if she was thrilled.
-Seunghee! Kaylee!
And there was a voice desperately calling out to those two people.
-Welcome! Help me! Haaaaa!
It was a voice that suggested that someone was probably going through a hard time.
Seunghee and Kaylee, who heard that, looked at each other and laughed.
“Oh, sister. Will the effect of the aphrodisiac still remain?”
“Ah.”
That was a problem that Kaylee hadn’t even thought about.
“… Maybe there are still some left? “The terminal is just frozen.”
“Oh…”
The two people’s eyes turned to the pets.
Leo was sleeping on his stomach, and Piyak was sleeping on top of Leo. And he was dozing off in his seat under the chirping ceiling.
The fact that the pets remained the same meant that everything except the terminal remained the same, and that meant that Changjae’s aphrodisiac effect also remained the same.
“Uh, do you want to go in first?”
“Seunghee. As the Korean saying goes, it is better to get hit first…”
“No, I do not want! “If I get punished in that state, I won’t be able to endure it!”
“I will help you along the way.”
-Ahh! Kaylee!
“Are you calling me?”
“That’s because I don’t have the strength to even call Seunghee.”
“Ugh…”
“Let’s go together, Seunghee. Still, it’s okay if you two are together, right?”
“Sister…”
Kaylee smiled and extended her hand to Seunghee.
Seunghee held his hand even though she was crying.
The fierce fight between the two women was about to begin.
* * *
Meanwhile, at the same time.
A meeting was in full swing in the survivor group in the safe zone. Today was a rare meeting, not just for women, but for all men as well. Of course, the number of men was much smaller.
“So, we’ve been given as much as we can afford so far, so we’re going to beat ourselves up because things are going wrong?”
The woman who speaks nervously is Joo Hee-kyung.
Among the women, she was the oldest and the most vocal person.
“No, who is saying that they took it and gave it to them? Who got it for free and ate it?”
The person who accepted it was Mr. Kim, the oldest among the men.
Getting old means surviving. Although that word was not commonly used here, since he was the elder among the men, he had the right to speak.
“Then I got it for free and ate it up. “What on earth did you guys do?”
Joo Hee-gyeong had no respect for others, even if they were elderly. The weak-hearted man attacked the old man with such a vicious expression that he felt intimidated just by making eye contact.
“Oh, well, anyway, you probably gave it to them because they had something to gain, right?!”
It is already a public fact that women sacrificed themselves to the man in return.
However, even old Mr. Kim could not bear to say it out loud.
“Even if I did it, the women did it. What did you do for me?!”
A loud voice rang through the container.
People listening frowned, and some shook their heads as if they had a headache.
The current group of survivors was divided into two factions.
There were those in favor of helping Kang Chang-jae hunt down the Tyrannosaurus and those opposed to carrying out the mission to kill Kang Chang-jae.
“Under! You couldn’t make a noise when you got something to eat, but as soon as the store was blocked, you immediately hit me in the back? “You guys are so amazing!”
Until now, men and some women have not even been able to speak out against the pro-choice faction led by Joo Hee-kyung and Yoon Seo-hee. This is because the resource called coins were monopolized by pro-choice women connected to Kang Chang-jae.
But not now.
The reason coins have value as currency is that there were coin shops. Now that the stores were closed, the opposition had no reason to care. Because we were all broke anyway.
“Then what do you want to do? “Let’s all die together, is this it?”
“Why are you dying? Let’s help and hunt together!”
“If that’s not about dying together, what is it?!”
She joins forces with him to hunt Tyrannosaurus. That was like telling men to just die together.
In that case, it would have been better to carry out the ‘surprise mission’ given separately to them.
[Surprise Mission: True Enemy]
[It is time to take revenge on the true enemy who has exploited women as sex slaves.]
[Kill player Kang Chang-jae.]
[All penalties received in the process of performing this mission will be nullified.]
[Reward: Partner’s resurrection and escape from Metapia]
[This is your last chance to escape this island with your partner.]
──That was the common mission that all currently surviving survivors received.
