Surviving In An Adult-Rated Romance Game - Chapter 2.1
The player’s residence is the mansion of Grand Duke Bahilok.
Initially, the player’s setup was that Raiden, returning from the battlefield, took the player in.
Well, the word ” took in” doesn’t quite do it justice, considering the reality was more like being left alone.
Tired of being pressured to marry and bombarded with marriage proposals, Raiden took a “random woman” who happened to be in his sights and brought her into his mansion.
Thanks to this, the player did not get along well with most NPCs from the beginning of the game.
There is already a lot of gossip in the social circles that he is harboring an unknown person in his mansion. Even though the Grand Duke was fully aware of the fact, he maintained this situation, perhaps satisfied with the quiet news of the marriage proposals.
He didn’t particularly side with the player.
As the morning dawned at the mansion, a notification popped up in front of Seona’s eyes.
[Daily Quest]
[Try touching Balteo’s large and thick g******s!]
[Success Reward: 1 Outfit Change Voucher]
[Failure Penalty: Raiden’s Affection -1]
The sudden notification sound startled Seona for a moment. Upon checking the quest details in front of her, she couldn’t help but be bewildered.
‘Wait, what the hell is this?’
Touch Balter’s g******s out of nowhere! And what’s with the failure penalty? And why is it that Raidens’s affection rating is going down, not Balteo’s?
It was utterly absurd.
This was a situation Seona had never encountered in her entire gaming experience. Occasionally, quests could earn some resources and affection, but a penalty? And to lower Raiden’s affection, the most challenging to raise!
Seona stared blankly at the notification window for a while. Then another window appeared before her.
[Would you like to accept the quest?]
[Accept / Decline]
[Warning! Immediate penalty upon rejection.]
Wow, this is pure coercion. Immediate penalty upon rejection?
In the end, Seona reluctantly pressed the accept button. She didn’t have much of a choice from the beginning.
***
Seona left her room earlier than usual, all for the sake of completing the quest.
However, things don’t always go as planned.
‘Oh, I don’t see Balteo today……’
Despite usually running into him easily, Balteo was nowhere to be seen today.
Seona wandered around the mansion for a long time. Wearing the see-through ‘Queen Arcana’s Underwear’ item as usual, she could hear the residents chattering behind her in disbelief as she passed by, but she had gotten used to it by now.
‘Swear at me or not.’
I mean, she couldn’t change out of this outfit even if she wanted to.
She thought to herself as she continued to search for Balteo.
Balteo Hector.
A commoner who had been raised by Raiden, he was now a knight, the Marquis of Hector, and the captain of the Grand Duke Bahilok ‘s knights.
As a commoner, he made numerous contributions in the war he participated in with Raiden and received the title of marquis.
For this reason, he was also known as the Dog of Grand Duke Bahilok.
The nickname was given to him by the nobility to mock him, but he grew quite fond of it.
There’s even a setting where he was so emotional that he broke down in tears when Raiden appointed him to the position of Captain of the Knights of Bahilok.
‘That’s strange, surely Balteo would be at the Grand Duke’s mansion every day……’
There were very few days when Balteo didn’t come to the Grand Duke’s residence.
Just then, Seona’s vision began to blur slightly, accompanied by a hint of dizziness. Startled, she checked her HP and found that it was already less than half.
While the quest was essential, she needed to meet Balteo quickly to replenish her HP.
With each step, Seona’s body swayed. Whether it was anemia or dizziness, this damn game was too realistic, causing problems.
The game even implemented the fact that the body weakens as HP decreases.
Thinking this way, Seona turned the corner of the mansion. Suddenly, a large wall-like object appeared out of nowhere, blocking her path.
“Ouch!”
Her face collided with the hard object. Startled, Seona groaned, clutching her forehead and nose.
“Ha.”
Above her head, a low mocking laughter echoed.
“That´s vulgar. Are you going around like that again today?”
The tone was straightforward, with no attempt to hide the contempt.
Seona’s eyes widened at the deep tone in her ears.
“Balteo Hector.”
The one Seona had been searching for was right in front of her. Apparently, he had come to the duke’s office.
“Oh, jackpot! I’m saved.”
Seona let out a relieved remark without realizing it. Then, she opened the quest window into the air.
‘So you’re really asking me to touch….. Balteo’s d**k?’
As if finding it hard to believe, she read the quest details multiple times. However, no matter how much she read, the quest content didn’t change.
Regardless of what anyone said, Seona found herself in a position where she had to touch Balteo’s g*nitalia.
“Oh my, Balteo’s favorability is going to plummet…”
Can I really do this? Seona hesitated, unable to touch immediately. Balteo, standing in front of her, raised one eyebrow suspiciously, observing her unusual behavior.
“What’s going on?”
With a doubtful look, he asked Seona about her unusual behavior. However, Seona, driven by the sense of duty to touch his g*nitalia, couldn’t hear Balteo’s question.
‘Well, just a slight touch will do.’
Just a slight touch… It should be enough if I just gently brush against it.
Thinking so, Seona unexpectedly began to sway. Overwhelmed by dizziness, her initial plan of accidentally brushing against his private parts seemed more like stumbling into it.
“Ah, my head suddenly…”
In an out-of-character move, Seona pretended to be fragile and spoke. Now, all she had to do was subtly brush against Balteo’s g*nitalia.
However, plans often go awry.
Swaying unexpectedly, Seona unknowingly lost the balance of her body.
“Uh, uh?”
Her skinny body tilted toward Balteo in an instant, and she collapsed on top of him. The suddenness of the situation sent him tumbling to the ground with her.
Thud, a rather dull sound echoed as their bodies rolled on the floor of the mansion. Seona felt a warm and squishy sensation at her fingertips.
“Ouch, my head….. I fell hard.”
Squelch.
The sensation in her palm was strange.
‘No way…. can it be?’
Just as Seona was about to lower her gaze to confirm, a cheerful sound rang out, and an unexpected notification window appeared before her eyes.
[Quest Complete!]
[Quest Reward: 1 Costume Change Voucher]
Oh, my.
‘Quest complete, it says.’
Now, what she was touching in her palm…
Seona’s gaze slowly lowered to the floor. Lo and behold, her small hand was resting between Balteo’s large and thick legs.
“Crazy.”
With a leap that seemed to reach for the sky, she hastily withdrew her hand that was exploring his g*nitalia.
‘I didn’t intend to touch it this thoroughly!’
Balteo stared at her wordlessly, a look of disbelief on his face. His gaze was so fierce it made her shoulders slump.
‘He’s obviously angry.’
He’s definitely angry right now!
This was Seona’s ninth attempt at capturing Balteo. She could instinctively sense that he was extremely furious.
“Uh, I-I’m sorry!”
Seona hastily bowed her head and scurried away. She could feel Balteo’s gaze on her back as she ran, hurrying, to her room. For some reason, the hairs on the back of her neck stood up.
