Surviving In An Adult-Rated Romance Game - Chapter 3.2
What’s this all of a sudden? Seona furrowed her brow and checked the content. After a while of silence, a main quest appeared.
“Ugh, as if I’m not irritated enough already…”
Muttering to herself, Seona reluctantly pressed the accept button. Since she was stuck here anyway, she might as well achieve the hidden ending without failing.
‘And maybe, who knows?’
After seeing the hidden ending, maybe she would finally be able to log out. With that thought, Seona felt a bit more energized.
“Don’t expect any special treatment from me. So, what kind of dress do you want me to buy?”
‘Seriously, what’s he saying since earlier? ‘
Seona, who was about to mutter a curse under her breath, stopped at Balteo’s words.
‘Wait a moment.’
He’s offering to buy a dress? This changes things. It was awkward to be told to receive a dress as a gift from a character. What on earth is going on?
“You’ll buy a dress for me?”
“Yeah.”
Balteo’s face, glancing over, seemed to be filled with some kind of expectation. Uncharacteristically, he blinked his eyes, waiting for Seona’s answer.
“If you want, I could take some time to go to the salon together.”
“No, I don’t want it that much…”
“We can go right now.”
With a triumphant smile, Balteo cut off Seona’s words. Perplexed, Seona looked at him with narrowed eyes, not offering a response.
‘You’re so nice.’
Maybe it’s because his affinity level has risen. He’s surprisingly friendly.
Seona didn’t bother with any further response and simply nodded her head.
“Sure, let’s go then.”
With that, she tried to leave the room. But what’s this? Balteo, who had just been offering to go to the salon together, suddenly grabbed Seona’s wrist.
As Seona attempted to leave the room, her body swayed and staggered toward Balteo.
“Wait, wait, wait, wait.”
“You’re not planning to go out like that, are you?”
Balteo looked shocked, scanning Seona’s body. As expected, Seona’s attire today consisted of thin see-through lingerie that left very little to the imagination again.
“Is this not okay?”
“Are you serious?”
“But I can’t change my clothes.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. Just change into something else.”
Seona furrowed her brow and opened the inventory window. Then, she clicked on a few different clothing items. However, as expected, the outfit didn’t change this time either.
[Currently unable to wear the <Aphrodite’s Dress> item.]
[Currently unable to wear the <Glass Pearl Dress> item.]
[Currently unable to wear the <Velvet Diamond Dress> item.]
Only error messages are repeated over and over.
“No, I’ll go like this.”
“What on earth have you been talking about since earlier?”
As if Balteo couldn’t comprehend, he marched toward Seona’s wardrobe. Then, nonchalantly, he opened it.
“Huh?!”
Surprised, Seona let out a gasp, blinking her eyes. After all, in the player’s room, the wardrobe allowed players to check the items they possessed.
‘But can the target character just open it freely?’
Too shocked to stop Balteo, Seona could only gape at him.
The wardrobe door creaked open. Inside, there was a worn-out, frayed dress hanging down.
“Huh?”
Seona, bewildered after checking the wardrobe, could only tilt her head as if saying, ‘What is this?’
He opened the wardrobe… but instead of her owned items, there’s a dress hanging there that she has never seen before?
She couldn’t grasp the situation at all. Unlike Seona, who was in a daze, Balteo effortlessly picked up the dress hanging there.
“Shouldn’t you wear this?”
But that’s not my clothes?
The worn-out dress was something Seona had never seen as an item in the game.
‘What on earth…’
Unable to respond immediately, Seona hesitated, and Balteo, holding the dress, spoke.
“Just change into it and go.”
“Um, can I really wear this?”
“I don’t understand what you’re talking about. Just put it on and come out.”
After Balteo opened the door and left, the sound of the door closing echoed, leaving Seona alone in the room once again. Even after Balteo disappeared, Seona stood there dumbfounded, holding the dress.
After a while, unable to wait any longer, Balteo re-entered the room. Seona finally came to her senses.
“What have you been doing without changing?”
Seeing Seona, who hadn’t changed at all since he left, Balteo irritably spoke. Then, he forcibly tried to change Seona into the dress.
Balteo’s large hand daringly pushed aside the lingerie strap hanging on Seona’s shoulder. As a result, the thin sheer fabric cascaded to the floor, revealing her rounded chest.
“Do you want to shamelessly expose yourself to everyone?”
Seona snorted in disbelief.
“If not, then change into it.”
As he said this, his eyes surreptitiously scanned her body. She could feel his red eyes slowly roaming over her bare skin. She covered her b*****s with her arms. Then one corner of his mouth twitched.
After roaming around half-naked all this time, it seemed absurd to cover up now.
“I didn’t know you had a sense of shame.”
It was an obvious mockery. While muttering, Balteo took the dress and sloppily draped it over Seona’s body. He tied the strap behind her neck and adjusted the hem.
‘I really changed into clothes.’
Seona checked her reflection in the mirror as if she couldn’t believe it. She couldn’t have imagined that the item that refused to change no matter what had been stripped away so anticlimactic.
“Let’s go.”
Without wanting to delay any longer, Balteo didn’t wait for Seona, who was staring at herself in the mirror. He immediately grabbed her hand and strode out of the room.
***
Guided by Balteo’s hand, Seona stepped outside and blankly stared beyond the carriage window. The scenery appeared vivid and lifelike, with numerous individuals moving and living as if they were real people.
The sensation of the carriage shaking on the cobbled road felt tangible.
If one didn’t consciously acknowledge that this was a virtual world, it almost seemed like a believable real-world setting.
The carriage, after a while, stopped at a place adorned with a splendid salon at the heart of the capital. Seona was familiar with this place.
