Surviving In An Adult-Rated Romance Game - Chapter 3.3
‘Even if I go in, it’s probably just a cash shop…’
Indeed, it was. This place was a cash shop, a place where clothes purchasable with cash were gathered. Upon entering, the surroundings would change abruptly, and the item list would appear.
Knowing that, Seona shook her head and looked at Balteo’s face. He walked in without hesitation. Eventually, she followed.
“Welcome.”
A frighteningly stern female voice greeted them as the salon door swung open. Seona stood there like an idiot, scanning the salon in a daze.
‘It’s not a cash shop.’
Truly… They were selling dresses.
Seona couldn’t comprehend what was happening or follow along.
Standing blankly, Seona gazed through the extravagant dresses, while Balteo was actively conversing with a designer, spreading catalog pages and engaging in a prolonged discussion.
At times, some staff members approached to measure Seona’s dimensions. However, even in those moments, she wandered around the salon with unfocused eyes, paying no attention to them.
Observing Seona, Balteo asked with a hint of confusion.
“Aren’t you interested in dresses?”
“What?”
“You seem disinterested.”
“Ah…”
With a brief sigh, Seona closed her mouth. Currently, dresses held no interest in her eyes. That wasn’t the crucial matter at hand.
“Anyway, you’re quite elusive.”
“…….”
“I thought you’d be into things like jewelry or dresses… Doesn’t seem like it.”
Balteo remarked, raising an eyebrow.
“Then why on earth are you doing something so vulgar?”
“What’s wrong with what I’m doing?”
“Are you asking because you don’t know?”
To Balteo’s question, Seona remained silent. Instead, she began to touch the dresses hanging on a rack.
It was small.
‘It’s a real dress.’
At this point, it became confusing. A sense of confusion engulfed Seona, wondering if this place could truly be the real world.
‘What if the place I was in was fake?’
No, no way. That can’t be. The quest window appears so prominently like this….
“I like you.”
“…..Huh?”
Unexpectedly, Balteor’s words landed in Seona’s troubled ears. Perplexed, she looked up at him with a bewildered expression. Unlike usual, Balteo seemed quite serious.
“I’ve never seen a courtesan like you who works so hard.”
“I’m not a courtesan?”
Moreover, a hardworking courtesan? Is there a more absurd phrase than that?
‘No, and what effort did I make, anyway……’
Continuing her thoughts, Seona recalled the petty quest she had to complete.
‘Oh, no way….. Did he mistake me touching his d**k for a quest as an effort?
Whatever it was, it was a ridiculous situation.
“Huh, so why were you wandering around in that state?”
“That… is a different issue.”
“Anyway, strange woman.”
Balteo shook his head and clicked his tongue slightly, then seemed to be signing a piece of paper the employee had brought him. Before he could finish, a dreaded beep sounded.
[Main Quest Complete!]
[Player can attend the ‘Royal Banquet’ event.]
Thanks to that, Seona could see that the paper Balteo signed was an invoice. Despite successfully completing the quest, Seona still looked a bit listless.
On the way back riding the carriage, while looking at the vivid scenery of the streets, Seona thought.
‘What if I never get to leave this place……’
No, if she could live here for a lifetime. If this place is not a programmed game world, but truly another world. Then it might be more comfortable.
‘Anyway, there’s nothing good about going back to reality.’
But it probably won’t work. All of this is just fake. Nothing more than a virtual reality created by someone.
Seona, with a bitter smile, withdrew her gaze from looking outside.

“Thank you for today.”
Before entering her room, Seona bowed her head slightly and expressed her gratitude to Balteo. However, unlike Seona, who entered without hesitation, Balteo seemed somewhat reluctant. He had been lingering around her since a while ago, and it felt somewhat suspicious.
Whether he spoke or not, Seona opened the door and entered. But unexpectedly, Balteo quietly followed her.
“Just a moment!”
“Yes?”
“Well… do you need anything else?”
“I don’t need anything.”
“What about dinner?”
“I’m fine.”
As Seona replied, she glanced at her HP. Thanks to spending the whole day with Balteo, her HP was at 100%.
The bright sun, which had been shining, was setting, and the dim evening was approaching. Seona glanced at the window, hinting at Balteo as if asking if he had anything more to say. Despite that, Balteo didn’t leave and continued to purse his lips.
“Do you have anything else to say?”
Unable to endure it, Seona urged him again. Balteo, with a somewhat puzzled face, rolled his eyes here and there, not knowing what to do.
‘What’s up with him? ‘
Seona tilted her head in confusion at Balteo’s peculiar behavior, which she was seeing for the first time. The way he hesitated with a flushed face seemed almost like an embarrassed young boy.
“Can I sleep here?”
“What? Here?”
“Well, damn… No, never mind.”
After hesitating for a while, he nervously swept his hand through his hair. Then, suddenly, he took a step closer to Seona.
Seona looked up at him as if enchanted and blinked her eyes. Instinctively, she could sense what kind of emotion Balteo was harboring towards her.
‘That’s a very different reaction from his usual one.’
Balteo wasn’t usually this shy…
Whatever the case, Seona didn’t dislike this side of Balteo. It felt refreshing. In her previously lethargic heart, a slight interest sparked throughout the day.
After a moment of contemplation, Seona lifted her toes slightly and planted a kiss on Balteor’s cheek with a sound. At that, Balteo’s already reddened face flushed even more. He fidgeted with a familiar awkwardness, and his breath became rough.
‘As expected, being handsome has its perks.’
Just by looking at his face, Seona felt a soothing sensation, and before she knew it, a gentle smile adorned her lips.
While leisurely enjoying Balteo’s shy expression, unexpectedly, his face drew closer. Without Seona having a chance to comprehend the situation, a soft touch landed on her lips. A thick arm wrapped around her waist.
With slightly parted lips, Balteo’s tongue swiftly entered. Seona accepted him willingly, without any resistance. His moist tongue explored every nook and cranny, meandering through her saliva.
“Ugh……”
It was pretty clumsy, pushing in without giving her a chance to breathe. Balteo sucked on her lips, panting like a thirsty man.
