chapter 21
21 – EP.7 Life is like a game -1
It has already been 14 days since the Motaras incident.
There was no call from Director Edwinner, and I was still on vacation.
Originally, I would have been left long after my vacation was over, but in my case, I was an agent who only received assignments from my direct supervisor, so I had nothing to do unless he called me.
“Oh, I broke it wrong.”
A peaceful daily life is certainly good, but it is true that it is boring.
I tried everything to soothe that boredom, but nothing was as good as a game.
“Quit!”
“Sorry, I’ll break it properly next time. Please don’t be so angry.”
So today I am playing a game with Tia to get rid of this boredom.
[Damn it, the forest of divine beasts.]
It’s still a hot game even though it’s been a while since its release.
“Ah, if you hit the raccoon there with a bundle of money, your liking will increase.”
“Kwyi!”
Since it’s a multiplayer game that can be enjoyed by all ages, Tia also kills time with it during the day.
Are there any other multiplayer games? If you do, that’s not it again.
It’s just that the games I’ve already cleared or I lost interest in the middle and didn’t pay attention to them.
Although there are other computer online games……
Let’s quit, it’s not good for Tia’s education.
-Knock! Knock!
While I was tapping the gamepad for a while, I sent a signal to someone to enter the room.
As soon as I said it was okay to come in, the door opened and the face of a woman with fox ears popped out through the gap.
“Seobang, is it okay for a moment?”
“Why?”
“It’s nothing else, I’m running out of ingredients for tonight’s dinner, so I want to ask you to do the grocery shopping.”
A [!] Quest sign suddenly floated above Miho’s head.
Maybe it’s because I’ve been playing the game for too long, and I’m starting to see things.
But this is also an interesting situation in its own way.
As a gamer, living life like a game was something I wanted to do at least once, so I decided to accept the quest.
“Thank you! I wrote down the necessary ingredients on a piece of paper here, so you can refer to them!”
“Okay.”
Miho, who always tried to follow me around, now sometimes sends me alone, so I’m very satisfied.
The less you depend on me, the more comfortable I become.
“Are you taking Tia with you too?”
“Yes, Tia gets lonely when left alone.”
“Okay, then I’ll keep track of the times for a minute!”
“Ugh… ? Time record?”
“Yes! Keeping track of how long you’ve been alone with Tia will give you that much time!”
Quest Rewards – Miho’s Friendliness, Miho’s Stamina Cooking
Linked Quest – Defensive battle with Miho
Time limit – 5 hours
Was that an excuse to make a 19 gold defense game?!
Damn it! Got hit!!
I should have at least checked and accepted the quest rewards and related quests…… !
But if you give up saying you can’t do it now or change the quest contents by not taking Tia, you don’t know what kind of disadvantages there will be.
So, since I accepted the quest, I had no other options, I just had to get back and forth as quickly as possible…….
“Seobang-nim, if you don’t know anything else, be sure to buy eel and garlic!”
“Ugh, ugh…… “
Essential stamina items needed for defense games.
I didn’t want to buy it because I didn’t want to play the defense game itself.
The relationship between companions and pets I knew wasn’t like this. When did it start like this?
“Haa… ….”
“What’s up?”
If Tia later turns into a human and grows into a beautiful woman……
Will Tia grow up like Miho and Yata?
If so, I don’t know if I can handle it.
“Grow up right, Tia.”
“Kyuyi??”
No, let me raise Tia properly.
I’m trying to grow into a pure god like now, not a god full of desire like the fox and the crow.
In this way, my own training game, Dragon Maker, begins in earnest.
“Of course, before that…”
How should I clear this duty defense game…….
It’s dark.
***
The way to get out of the supermarket after buying the necessary ingredients in the shortest time.
According to my brain, which was tired of the game, the quest window showed that about 30 minutes had passed since accepting the quest.
“30 Minutes or so… ….”
About 30 minutes, tonight’s defense game is expected to be somewhat easier.
Depending on how much power the boss releases, the difficulty will change again, but anyway, as long as the play time is short, it’s fine.
“It’s a pickpocket!”
“Huh?”
When she turned her head at the sudden shouting of a woman coming from behind her, a man wearing a beanie and a mask was running towards her.
“Hey! Get out of the way!”
A man carrying a woman’s handbag that does not suit him. This must be a pickpocket.
“Where are you going in such a hurry?”
“Wow?!”
After grabbing one arm of the man who was trying to pass by, he tripped over her leg.
After that, he hit the fallen man’s chin with his moderately strong foot and stunned him with a single blow.
There is a way to subdue it better, but considering the fact that a heavy shopping cart is in one hand, it must have been a good way to subdue it.
“Hey! You pickpocket bastard!”
The owner of the handbag appears late.
Try to subdue her pickpocket and hand her the handbag she picked up.
“Here is the handbag…… “
“Ah! My handbag!! Come on, give it to me!”
Without saying a word of thanks, she snatches the handbag from her hand and starts to shake it around as if it was dirty.
He is a rude person…….
“I have temporarily stunned the pickpocket, so you can hand it over to the police or other agents later.”
“Huh? Now wait!”
“Hmm? Why?”
As I was in a hurry to go, I gave a rough explanation and tried to leave, but the woman grabbed my arm and prevented me from going.
What was it that caught him? Are you thinking of giving me a reward for helping me?
“It’s okay if it’s a reward, I didn’t really help with that.”
“What kind of frozen reward is it? I don’t know if you’re in the same group as this bastard, so you caught it?”
“…… Yes?”
“Didn’t the two of you do this self-made show to extort the bounty money from me?”
This b*tch?!
I tried my best to help, but they made me an accomplice to the pickpocket?!
“Wait! Is that what you say to the person who helped you?! I didn’t even want a reward in the first place, did I?”
“Because I point out the facts. It’s not like I was stabbed! Or is there any evidence that you are not an accomplice?”
“Then I will ask the opposite question. Are you saying that because there is evidence that I am an accomplice with this man?”
“That will all come out at the police station.”
Wow…….
Are you a b*tch who hits the target so hard that you can only admire him?
Is your head empty? What kind of beggars are all these women like footswaddles?
I’ve met all sorts of people in my life, but I’ve never seen such a shameless woman.
If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have helped…… It is a very regretful moment.
“Really, all men are shameless and stupid. Doesn’t he steal people’s valuables and tell obvious lies?”
Help Miho!!
I was wrong!
I will always be by your side from now on!
Please come and kill this b*tch!
Please!!
I shouted more than 1000 times in my heart, but unfortunately, Miho did not appear like a miracle and harass the woman.
I think I will die first from Hwabyeong…….
“What are you doing?”
“Police man! Welcome! Take the two men here, please! One is a pickpocket and one is an accomplice!”
Ah~ Let’s go! Are you really over the top?
A crazy b*tch who already fabricates me as an accomplice to the police while the facts haven’t been confirmed yet.
I wanted to go on a rampage with my face getting hot with anger.
“No! I am not an accomplice, but rather the one who caught this pickpocket on the run!”
“Is that true?”
“Please don’t be fooled! I saw it! The two of them arguing and stealing my bag… !”
“No! What lies so shamelessly… !”
Wow… ! Are you really crazy?
As the police get confused, a woman finally squeezes out tears and puts on a performance that only actresses who receive Best Actress can do.
The police couldn’t stand still even after seeing such a woman’s method acting, so suddenly I was in danger of being dragged away by the police.
“I’m not really an accomplice, am I?”
“Let’s go to the book and talk about the details.”
“Now… for a moment!”
Not now!
Not as good as now!!
I know that if I go to the police station and somehow finish the investigation, there is a high chance that I will be released innocent.
But then, too much time will be wasted, and time will be delayed after seeing Miho’s quest.
A police investigation that will take at least an hour.
In other words, the defense time at night was getting longer and longer.
That was something to be avoided.
“Hey! f*ck… !”
“Uh uh… ?! Come on, grab it!!”
In the end, the option I chose was to run away.
I didn’t do anything wrong, but I had to run away.
If you don’t, Miho will kill you.
“Haa, damn it!!”
Five stars floating in the upper right corner of my field of view.
Only one of them is painted, the other four are still empty.
If that star is full, the agents will surely be dispatched…….
But that didn’t matter now.
“That damn b*tch… !”
A crazy b*tch who wiped away her fake tears and started laughing wickedly when she saw me running away.
It was a provocation to raise my anger until the very end.
This is more upsetting than being politicized or being teabagged through in-game chatting.
My body begins to tremble from the anger that rises to the end.
What should I do? How can I get enough revenge?
I kept thinking about it while running away, but I couldn’t come up with a good plan, so I frowned.
-Tiloling!! Ttirong! Tirolong!!
While I was struggling like that, a ringtone that I hadn’t heard in a long time started ringing in my pocket.
I took my phone out of my pocket to find out who it was, and the words [My dear crow♡] Were clearly displayed on the terminal screen.
Yata guy…….
When did you unlock my phone and save it like this?
I’m sorry, but there was no reason not to receive it, so I immediately pressed the green receive button and put it to my ear, and a familiar voice came out of the speaker.
[Nang-kun, you got caught up in a lot of fun, right?]
“Does this sound like fun to you?”
As expected, Yata, you seem to know everything about my current situation.
[Don’t be too angry, it’ll be fun in a little while!]
“Is it going to be fun? What is the current situation where you are being chased by a crazy b*tch?”
[Yes.]
“How the hell?”
[Before I answer that question, let me ask you for a second. What do you think of traitors to government agencies?]
“Suddenly asking such a question… ?”
[It’s because I had to keep it.]
What do you think of a traitor to the government…… Isn’t it natural to be annoyed?
A guy who sells information about me and the government to terrorists at every turn, putting me and those around me at risk.
It’s not okay even if I kill 1000 times, it’s the same as the b*tch from before.
“If I could get rid of it, I would like to get rid of it right away.”
[Really? Good luck! The woman who caused trouble for me and the traitor to the government are involved!]
“It is related… ?”
[Yeah, that’s very closely.]
“A close relationship…… No way?!”
[That’s right.]
“Ha…! hahahaha…!! Ahahahahaha!!”
[How is it? Did you enjoy it?]
Now I think I know why Yata called me.
Ah yes! The world hasn’t abandoned me yet!
“Yata, you are the best!!”
[Thank you for the compliment. I wish I could have said that in front of the fox girl.]
“That’s a bit…… “
If you did that, you might see a sentence with ‘YOU DIED’ written in red letters.
To lose one’s life for just one compliment is something I don’t like.
“Anyway, Yata, can you tell me all the information you know?”
[Of course, I called with that in mind.]
“Thanks to you, I feel relieved now… ….”
[How is it? Did you fall for me?]
“About 50%.”
[Isn’t that too vague? Well, it doesn’t matter because I plan to make my husband fall in love with him someday.]
“Please don’t be too extreme.”
[I can’t guarantee that, anyway, I’ll call you back as soon as it’s ready, so stay quiet in the meantime!]
“Okay.”
[Then see you later, my dear!]
-Beep!
As soon as I hung up the phone with Yatawa, a shudder began to flow through my body.
If I could kill even one of those disgusting people, I wouldn’t mind shaving his head right away and putting a barcode on the back of his head…… Even if you don’t, you can kill both of them!
I was so happy that I couldn’t control my body.
I still have Miho’s quest report, but I decided not to worry about that anymore.
I don’t care if I die as long as I can kill them.
“The world is still good to live in… ….”
The world has given me a new ordeal,
At the same time, it made me want to play a fun game.
A game that is not available for teenagers in real life.
I could confidently say that Violence would be a 3-star game.
