The Guild Member Next Door - Volume Side Story 2

***

‘You have entered Skyland – Skyspire – dungeon.’

As I entered the dungeon, a square board game board appeared before my eyes. The board floating in the deep blue sky consisted of a total of 36 spaces, 10 spaces per row. On the outside of the board, pure white clouds were floating as the sky was in the background, and palm trees with lush green leaves were planted on top of the clouds. And the monkey monster sat on top of the tree and looked down at Yeo-woon’s party.

‘I will explain the game rules of Skyspire Dungeon.’

Large letters filled half of the screen, and the voice actor’s sonorous voice rang out. At that moment, the nearest monkey’s eyes widened, and he threw what he was holding with all his might and hit the Earth Star’s head.

‘The monkeys who are not participating in the game throw bananas from the tree.’

“Why do you avoid that?”

When Yeowoon passed through this map a few years ago, there was never a turn where he didn’t hit a banana. The timing of banana throwing is not consistent, and the monkey attacks when it feels like it, so it was easier to just recover health after getting hit.

‘You can avoid the bananas thrown by the monkey, and if you get hit by a banana, your stamina will decrease.’

The monkey squeaks and laughs, pointing with his finger at the planet Earth that hit the banana. A large giant monkey wearing sunglasses fell from above with a thud next to Yeowoon’s party at the starting point of the board. And next to the giant monkey, there were monkeys standing close together that were the same size as the monkeys up on the tree.

‘You will play a board game with Mr. Monkey and his gang, the villains of Skyland.’

‘If you defeat Mr. Monkey’s gang, you can obtain <Tenon Temple Entrance Ticket> secretly hidden by Mr. Monkey.’

A large dice fell into the center of the board with a thud. The big monkey picked up the dice and threw it high into the sky.

‘Only the team captain throws the dice.’

A star symbol was engraved above the Earth Star and Mr. Monkey’s head. It seemed like the party leader was taking on the captain’s position.

I had a good feeling. Since there were at least two or three people who already knew the rules of the game well, I was relieved to think that I could roughly explain them.

‘Players roll two dice and move the sum of the numbers rolled.’

A giant monkey wearing sunglasses lifted a dice and threw it upward. When the sum of the two dice came up to 9, the monkeys squeaked and ran and stopped exactly on the ninth square. A treasure chest popped out of the compartment, and the sound of coins piling up was heard above the heads of the monkeys who opened the treasure chest, and the monkeys began to rejoice.

‘Various events are hidden in each space, and at times, a battle with the opposing team may take place for 3 minutes.’

‘After Mr. Monkey’s gang and the player team have completed 8 rounds, the number of remaining coins and the total number of kills and deaths are added to determine victory or defeat.’

“… … .”

Now I remembered. When I arrived at the battle event space, I had to fight with monkeys for 3 minutes, and the lingering feeling at that time was that I was responsible for 80% of the team death and almost lost.

“ruined.”

Do you think you might lose because of me? Did you follow me for no reason? Yeowoon’s expression hardened.

‘If all party members become unable to fight during a 3-minute battle, the game will automatically end, the dungeon will be reset, and you will have to start the board game from the beginning.’

Soon, the words ‘PLAYER’S TURN’ were engraved on the screen and the monkeys looked back at the starting point.

‘The captain of the player’s faction, please roll the dice.’

Earth Star jumped to the center of the board, picked up the dice, and used the ‘Throw’ skill. The large dice rose high and fell onto the Earth with a thud.

“… … ?”

What is it now? The Earth Star was crushed under the dice and bounced back, taking damage.

The damage was minimal, but HP was definitely damaged.

‘Player camp, move twelve spaces.’

Meanwhile, it was a good start, with full numbers from the first round.

It wasn’t wrong, and I knew that Lipo was a mangame, but it actually hurt me a little when I heard that word. At one time, it was a game that was a bit exaggerated and there were almost no people around who didn’t play it, but now it was a shame that it was ruined to the point that people were asking why they didn’t listen to it. There were a lot of people and it was really fun back then.

By the way, unless it’s a bug, there’s no way you can throw the game dice and hit it. Yeowoon opened an internet window and searched for ‘Little Forest 2 Skyspire Hit by the Dice’. I wonder if there are more people who got hit by the dice like the Earth Star… .

‘[Lipo♣Daily Life] Mon Xue Xue’s Sky Spire Breakthrough Part 2♡ (with pressure, BGM)’

‘[Video] Skyspire monkeys provided true education… .(#Little Forest 2)’

Among the review posts like the one above, one article that matched the keyword Yeowoon was looking for came out. When I clicked on the external link on the portal site, I was connected to a public inquiry written on the Little Forest official website.

I see I must have gone for a roll… .

When the dice were thrown and the entire planet returned to the starting point, the party was all trapped in a round soap bubble and bounced from space to space. Every time a soap bubble hit the floor, there was a popping sound. When the player camp moved ahead of the monkeys to the twelfth square, a spring burst out of the square, and all four people flew out of the map and became trapped on an uninhabited cloud island.

As a cloud of palm trees gathered around the uninhabited island, a group of monkeys began throwing bananas. It was enough to take a light hit from just one of them, but when they were crowded together in one place and several of them attacked at once, the speed at which their HP was depleted was enormous.

‘Pure White Cross’

‘HP of the skill caster and party members is restored to a certain amount.’

It was only after Yeowoon used three stamina recovery skills alternately that he was able to survive without dying. In particular, Earth Star, the lowest level among them, had its stamina drop to less than half in the blink of an eye, so Yeo-woon had to pay even more attention to managing her stamina.

Yeowoon just kept his mouth shut. No matter what you say, Earth will only be annoyed at this point. I sympathized as much as I could and took their side, but being sensitive… . Yeowoon stretched his character’s hand up and stroked Earth Star’s hair.

Earth Star fired his gun upwards, but the banana-throwing mobs seemed to be out of range and threw more bananas as if to scare him.

‘Paradise’s Armor’

‘A shield equal to 50% of maximum health is temporarily created.’

Thank you is in English. He raised his pure white shield and a round light spread out from the shield and enveloped the party members. As a tank, he was able to temporarily block the banana attack when he used the shield skill. Yeo-woon used his healing skills wisely and tried his best to prevent the party members’ health from falling below 50%. As a result, the speed of mana grant was too fast, but it was no problem as I brought enough recovery medicine and food items to almost fill the consumption window.

While the party was stuck on the deserted island for two turns, Mr. Monkey moved a total of ten spaces and moved ahead of the player camp.

Yeo-woon knew from experience that if he pretended to be pitiful like this, he would eat less even if he got criticized. Even if there was a reaction, she was like, ‘No, I didn’t expect it to be like this ;;’ or ‘Oh my god, he’s going to die alone.’ Of course, swearing like that doesn’t really hurt and it’s none of my business, but no one feels good about being cursed. Therefore, Yeo-woon’s method of survival was to lower people’s expectations in advance.

It was a sound I hadn’t heard in a long time. I laughed as I remembered the Poseidon guild members treating me like a newbie and taking good care of me in Illusion. They have now taken the label of a newbie from me, but even now, when Yeo-woon needs something, they put aside what they were doing and run to help him. After searching, I heard that it is difficult to find a guild with a good atmosphere in one’s lifetime, so I was very fortunate that my first guild was Poseidon. It was true that I met Yun Ji-gu there and became even more attached to him.

‘Mana Shield’

‘Increased magic attack defense’

When Yeowoon gave him a buff on the game board as a habit, he bowed in half and said thank you in English, faithful to the concept.

“… … .”

Yeowoon was so embarrassed that he scratched his cheek.

Yeo-woon was just crushed into a corner by Deer Byeol-re’s words. Again, she was just not familiar with the hunting route, having lived as a blue-collar worker for half of her gaming life. It was true. She is not an excuse. If you tell me my real nickname, Deokbyeolre will probably recognize me. Maybe Deerbyeolre’s main character was also one of the people who were waiting in line to make me food. The afterglow was unfair. I’m really not a newbie. Lipo is really a stagnant waste?

Earth Star started arguing, but Deer Star ignored him and approached Yeo Woon, using expressions of emotion that pounded her heart. The motion was very confident and had the effect of making it look more trustworthy.

Although he was now dressed as a cute little witch with twin tails, Yeo-woon was a sturdy adult man. She used the emotional expression of her deer star Re’s astonishment at Yeo-woon’s shocked confession.

The nonsensical story stopped as the game progressed again.

‘The captain of the player’s faction, please roll the dice.’

When returning to the original compartment from the uninhabited island, the same spring came out and sent the party members flying at once.

“Ah, the uninhabited island has been released.”

As soon as the Earth Star threw the dice, it ran away as if it didn’t want to be hit again. The dice that fell on the board pulled out a double 6 again. The player party moved a total of 12 squares and outpaced the monkeys.

In the second room we arrived at, a treasure chest appeared and the party was charged with 500 coins. The game was won by using these coins to purchase items that could penalize the opposing team, or by ultimately leaving more coins.

‘danger! Battle occurs! Go to the battle zone!’

Just before completing one lap of the board game board, Mr. Monkey and his group stepped into the battle room. The guidance message flashed red and the map was loaded for a moment. After closing and opening my eyes a few times, I could see that the gauge bar had been filled and I had been moved to the battle zone map. Above the large cloud, both parties stood facing each other.

Yeowoon waved the broom in the air and expressed his understanding.

At those words, Yeowoon calmly pressed F2 to switch to the buff keyboard and began to wait. She wasn’t very confident in her control, but since she didn’t need control to hone her skills at will, she was confident she would do well!

At that time, the Earth Star suddenly appeared and blocked Yeo-woon’s vision. His face was shown in a large close-up on the screen, and Earth Star’s nickname quickly appeared in the chat window.

Why did you call me so urgently? Do you have anything to say?

The Earth Star then took a step back and continued speaking quickly.

Fortunately, the tank user’s computer was a bit slow, so it was still loading, so there was still time to chat. The lingering feeling is ‘Shooting☆Dash!’ I checked the detailed description section of the skill.

Yeowoon recited the information written in the skill description.

The earth star jumped upward and was delighted at Yeo-woon’s words, which included only the necessary information.

“… … ?”

I don’t know what it is, but I’m not a child who has no thoughts at all. Yeo-woon didn’t comment on those words and said, ‘Shoot☆Dash!’ She put her skills into the blank spaces on the F1 keyboard. Her goal was to reduce the delay between using the skill as much as possible so that she could use it right away when Earth Star asked her to use the skill.

Perhaps because there was something puzzling about Earth Star’s request, Deer Star made a gesture of contemplation, telling Yeo Woon that he could use up all his buff skills now.

Deerbyeolre shrugged his shoulders as if he couldn’t understand Earthbyeol’s words. The lingering feeling was the same, but it was roughly as expected. Even in Illusion, he was a kid who risked his life on his movement speed, so it seemed like he wanted to appeal that he was fast this time as well. It wasn’t just a day or two that he started to show strange obsession, but he was starting to do it now.

‘But why do villains always wait for their opponent to be ready and then attack them and lose? If it were me, when I was confused, I would hit first.’

Yeowoon looked at the monkey waiting in an attack stance and thought about something. Monkeys waiting for the opposing party to prepare… . The villains who waited for each scene of the protagonist’s squadron’s transformation, let alone a surprise attack, seemed much more just.

Thank you belatedly, I accessed the battle zone in English. When I saw him crying, it seemed like he was sorry for being late.

‘The battle with Mr. Monkey’s gang begins.’

As soon as the player tank entered the battle zone, the fight with Mr. Monkey began.

As we entered the battle stance, the BGM changed. A tense and urgent melody flowed, as if being chased by something. Giggeek, Giggeek! The ear-piercing sound of the violin harmonized with the melody, creating a battle atmosphere.

‘Time remaining: 03:00.’

‘Time remaining: 02:29.’

‘Time remaining: 02:28.’

The hourglass turned upside down and the timer started ticking. The time limit is 3 minutes. If you can withstand the attack for just 3 minutes, you can play the board game again. It was a merciless system where if the party was wiped out without a single survivor within that time, the dungeon would be reset and the player would have to start from the beginning.

‘If I stand here, I’ll reach all my skills, right?’

The petty monkeys rushed at him frantically and made physical attacks using their claws. Perhaps because it is a map with the motif of Mureungdowon, when a monkey pulls out its fur and snaps its fingers in the air, the number of mobs increases. When you look at them alone, they look pretty cute, but when they are crowded together, it’s a bit creepy. If it is not dealt with quickly, the number will increase exponentially, making it even more burdensome.

Yeowoon placed a healing magic circle within a certain range, creating a space where HP gradually filled.

Deerbyeolre was really trying to treat himself as the same as Earthbyeol, and even though he wasn’t using that great of a skill, he gave Yeowoon a thumbs up and praised Yeowoon one by one. What’s so great about a healer being healed? ‘Oh my newbie, you’re breathing well!’ It felt strange to hear the same compliment.

‘The Paladin’s provocation!’

When the tanker made a loud noise, the monkeys attacked him. He used a large shield at the forefront and used provocation and shield skills alternately to receive a certain amount of damage.

‘Dancing Pistol♪♬’

The Earth Star spun around like a top and fired bullets in all directions. It looked like it was dancing.

The Earth Star jumped around and rolled on the floor, avoiding the monkeys’ physical attacks and attacking, causing extensive damage to the enemy. Even though he was more than 10 levels lower than other people, his damage contribution was much higher. However, because most of his attacks were mobile, he sometimes went beyond the tank’s health protection range when attacking, making him the party member whose health was depleted the fastest.

‘The Witch’s Sacrifice’

Even though Yeo-woon saved her life twice when she almost died, Earth Star continued to fly in all directions, not knowing that her life was a waste. On the other hand, the shaman, Deer Byeol-rae, kept her stamina stable by standing calmly next to Yeowoon and using her skills while receiving healing from him. Even though we are the same dealer, is it because our jobs are different, or is there a difference in personality? It was interesting that the two people’s playstyles were quite different.

‘Altar of Life’

Deerbyeolle climbed onto the healing magic circle created by Yeowoon and stood still for about 3 seconds, recovering his stamina to full health. It was the ideal party scene. Perhaps because each person did their part properly, they were able to last one minute without a single person dying. In comparison, the monkeys died twelve times to the Earth Star and three times to the Deer Star, and the player party was ahead in the total score. The points you get from killing a monkey weren’t that big, but it was okay because you didn’t lose any points.

“But the original boss doesn’t attack at all?”

Although he occasionally slams his large fist, Mr. Monkey’s movements are slow due to his large body, so even Yeo-woon was able to dodge the attack without difficulty. It was then.

Jalang!

‘Mr. Monkey used 500 coins to purchase the <Comrade Gil> item.’

“… … ?”

‘Mr. Monkey used the <Comrade Gil> item.’

By the time more than half of the sand in the hourglass had flowed out. Suddenly, Mr. Monkey’s gang’s coins decreased by 500, and a red debuff icon appeared under Yeowoon’s skill window. It seemed to be an item effect.

“prison… ? what?”

This is my first time seeing an icon like this. When Yeowoon gently moved the mouse cursor over the icon that looked like an iron bar, an explanation of the debuff appeared in small letters below it.

To put it simply, if the weakest one gets hit, the other party members will die as well. If you are the player with the lowest maximum health… Is it a low-level Earth star, or is it me, a healer? Since the ‘maximum stamina’ mentioned in that explanation is based on the character’s pure stamina stat without adding any equipment or doping effects, I was a bit confused about who the target was. It seemed like it was probably Earth or Yeo-woon himself.

Mr. Monkey chuckled with an evil expression on his face, as if he was listening to this conversation. I can’t see his eyes because of the sunglasses, so I don’t know how he was able to express such an obnoxious expression so well. There was still about 1 minute and 10 seconds left until the end of the battle.

“Thank you” is English. Deer Byeol-re stood there idle without using any skills, as if he had really lost his will to play the game. It seemed like it was none of my business whether the monkey ran towards me and reduced my HP or not. Yeowoon thought it was too early to give up right now. He intervened among party members who had lost their will and was busy restoring their HP.

He gave that long explanation in just a few seconds, and this time he turned to Yeowoon and spoke.

Yeowoon looked up at the timer and said, ‘Shoot☆Dash!’ I placed my finger on the skill in advance.

When Deerbyeolre said those words, the timer minutes changed from 2 to 1, and the one-minute countdown began. After swallowing the slime ball, Earth’s body instantly became translucent.

It is now.

Right before he jumped out, Yeowoon used a buff to give him agility and increased attack speed.

‘Shoot☆Dash!’

‘Increased agility and attack speed’

‘Become stronger’

‘Increased physical attack defense’

After barely giving the defense buff, I looked at the screen and saw a faint shield pattern engraved on the head of the Earth Star flying into the distance and then disappearing. There was nothing Yeowoon could do now.

Earth Star, who quickly broke through the swarm of monkeys with the tank and landed safely in the opponent’s camp, has already lost more than half of her HP after being hit by a monkey.

‘That’s because I eat things like slime balls!’

Yeowoon mumbled, worried about him. The effect of the slime ball pudding item cuts defense by half, but what good does it do to increase speed? If a single hit from a jjol can make you look like that, it’s clear that even a slight swipe from the ultimate will melt you.

‘Paradise’s Armor’

‘A shield equal to 50% of maximum health is temporarily created.’

Earth Star hurriedly took a recovery potion to recover its HP, and was struggling with only about 100 HP remaining thanks to the protective shield provided by the Paladin.

58 seconds. Mr. Monkey’s eyes flashed red. It meant that he was about to use his ultimate skill. The tank that would set up the shield was far away in the center, and the Earth Star had arrived right in front of Mr. Monkey’s nose, no matter what he was thinking. The party is scattered, so neither the buff nor the heal can reach you. Unlike before, there seemed to be no hope at all.

Just as I was about to give up, the Earth Star instantly triple-jumped and jumped upward, reaching back and striking the air with its gun.

‘Triple shot!’

Bang, bang, bang! The body naturally fell backwards as a reaction to the trip shot. After spinning about three times in the air as if back tumbling, he passed over Mr. Monkey’s head and went backwards.

‘Death Fire!’

Kugwagwang! Fire burst out from the Earth Star’s gun and struck the mob from behind. A bullet accompanied by a strong flash and flame effect, like a grenade exploding, penetrated the boss’ torso.

And 56 seconds.

Mr. Monkey, who was supposed to shoot his breath from his mouth, only slammed his slow fists into the ground, his eyes turning black again.

55 seconds. The ultimate still hasn’t come out. 54 seconds, 53 seconds… . It seemed like the skill had been canceled altogether.

‘How on earth can I cancel the boss skill?’

Even while everyone was speechless and dazed, Earthstar attacked Mr. Monkey from behind without stopping. Earth’s damage contribution began to rise tremendously. The Mr. Monkey Raid begins only with one minute left in the countdown.

Only then did the party members come to their senses and began attacking only the boss mobs, not paying attention to the minor monsters. Meteorites rained down from the sky with spectacular effects, and Deer Byeolre defeated the boss with his meteor skill. It was a victory for the player party, who killed the boss mob with 2 seconds left until the end of the battle and earned 50 free points.

‘I defeated Mr. Monkey.’

‘An additional 50 death points are given as a boss bonus.’

As soon as the battle was over, the game screen returned to the board. The Earth Star danced as if pleased with the clean ending.

Earth Star kept silent until the end, even when party members asked what the secret was, and only after defeating the boss by nullifying her ultimate in the last turn did she reveal the secret.

How did they figure it out and how did they conduct the experiment? I was always amazed by Yeowoon’s passion for the speed of the Earth’s star. Even in Illusion, Earth was the first person to create the Night Spear attack tree by changing all kinds of equipment and experimenting. Never in her wildest dreams did she know that Little Foret was also conducting research on it. She could understand a little if the reason she seemed so busy all this time was because she was doing this research.

Yeowoon entered the MeTube link in the address bar and searched for the video in question.

[(Legend) I cleared Skyspire on extreme difficulty for the first time alone.]

The video was quite long, probably because it was edited from the full broadcast. When I roughly scrolled down to the highlight seconds written in the comments, I came across a part where the paladin, who survived being hit by the breath alone, cut down the boss in one go, just as Earth Star said.

There were many comments in the comments asking whether the video was manipulated and how to survive the ultimate as a solo player when it is difficult to defeat a boss even with a party of 4.

That was also an opinion that came up a lot in the comments. Half of the comments were suspicious of manipulation, but the remaining half of the comments refuted that it was a sufficiently possible figure if the equipment was right, and started a fight in the comments, so we could tell.

The Paladin is basically a tank class, so its physical strength and defense were much higher than other classes, and before it was nerfed, it was said that its single attack power was as strong as that of a dealer, to the point where it was called a dutiful class. The Paladin at that time, who had high defense and attack power, seemed to think that a solo clear was quite possible.

that’s right. With a lingering feeling, she nodded. No matter where I looked in the video, I couldn’t see any parts revealing the stat window or equipment. The Earth Star giggled in front of the three confused people.

“… … .”

Mr. Monkey and Turtle Turtle were both the names of dungeon bosses. There doesn’t seem to be any difference, so what is it? Is it a habitat? One lives on land and one lives in water?

When I heard those words, an exclamation mark was engraved in my mind. I felt like I knew roughly what he was trying to say. It sounds like you bought time by putting a stun skill before using your ultimate skill to put the monster in a temporary state of stun.

It was cute that he explained things so excitedly, like a fish in water. Earth Star paused and stamped his feet on the ground as if he was trying to say something great. The deer, Byeol-rae, nodded his head eagerly, as if pleased with his answer. Since he didn’t say anything, it seemed like he was looking for the video he was talking about and comparing it.

“Well, I did well.”

Then, it is largely thanks to me that I was able to cancel the ultimate game in every game and securely win. Yeo-woon, who thought she hadn’t done much, felt a little proud at those words. She felt a little elated to hear that it had helped.

Earth Star said something meaningful and waved at Mr. Monkey and his group who came in late. After the last turn, a contribution table reflecting the results of the board game and battle appeared. Afterglow was responsible for 5%, Deer Byeolre and Thank You in English together accounted for 8%, and Earth Byeol alone was responsible for 79%.

Yeo-woon felt like he was going to die because he was so proud of Earth Star that he was able to get 100 per day without even having a moment to regret his small contribution. I was even more proud because I thought I had figured this all out on my own, even though no one had told me how.

I only delved into speed and have now become quite an expert. Even though he was playing the same game, he seemed to enjoy it two or three times more deeply than he did. The ability that was rotting in Illusion shines in other games as well. In my heart, I immediately wanted to bring Yun Ji-gu and pat him on the head, calling him smart.

‘STAGE CLEAR!’

‘You have obtained <Tenon Temple Entrance Ticket> as loot.’

When I broke through the dungeon in one round, the people waiting outside raised question marks. Earth Star asked Yeo Woon after removing Deer Star and Thank You from the party.

The desired answer seemed transparent. Yeah, you’re cool. You’re the best ~ Yeo-woon meant that, and she gave him the thumbs up on both hands to show that he was the best. The earth star, elated by his double tap, raised his head with his arms crossed.

When I asked why he was the only one left behind when everyone else withdrew, he said something like this again. Is it special treatment? Why only to me? Yeowoon had doubts again.

If it’s convenient, you can do that. Yeo-woon’s doubts disappeared like melting snow.

While saying that, he used the expression of shining eyes and expressing his emotions. Yun Ji-ji’s face appeared over the figure pretending to be pitiful, and Yeo-woon nodded her head without realizing it. Now, even when this is not in front of me, I use handsome men. Yeowoon thought of something foolish and laughed heartily.

They headed to their destination in harmony, with countless idle people hanging behind them like tails.

The deer, left alone in the place they left, stood still for a while as if searching for something, and after a while, a command indicating that the skill had been reset appeared above his head. He raised his skills again and slowly began experimenting on the monsters around him.

Exactly one month later. A video was uploaded. Users who were stimulated by the ball launched by Earth Star began researching the correlation between attack speed and skill chewing. As a result, they realized that not only can a skill be canceled if used at the right time, but in PVP between users, the skill with the faster attack speed is used first, so it can have a significant impact on PVP victory or defeat.

Afterwards, new skill trees designed using attack speed for various occupations began to become popular for a while. It was a route that was much more inefficient than the existing skill tree and cost a lot of goods, but it was just great food for people who had nothing to do. The attack speed skill tree went through transformation after transformation, and someone even created a completely new meta. The dwarves, who had been wandering around the village because they had nothing more to do, were very excited as they walked around Ganghwaseok for the first time in a long time.

This was the result of a short strategy video that was only 3 minutes long.

***

The Earth Star, which changed its hairstyle, spun around in place. It was a style where the hair was tied like a bud on the top of the head. Yeowoon responded to his words by applauding.

“What are you saying?”

What number is this? If this is going to be the case, why did you bring me here? Yeowoon grumbled to himself. At the beauty salon, Earth Star picked out all kinds of hair, putting it on and taking it off in front of Yeo Woon. She begged me to go somewhere with her, and the best she could drag someone to was a hair salon. He dragged himself along just because he was getting tired of trying to change his style on his own every hour.

‘What a grand favor I had to ask for.’

Light blue, red, long and half-tied hair, historical drama hair… . Earth Star, who was trying all kinds of styles, turned her head to look at herself and said a little later.

Where did the confused attitude of not being able to make a choice go? Earth Star started changing her style by moving around the NPCs in the hair salon without the slightest hesitation. It would cost quite a bit of money to change the hair just once, but it seemed like the users were giving Earth a lot of money.

Yeo-woon did not follow Earth Star inefficiently, but instead took a position in the middle and stood still. Since she didn’t move for a long time, the character switched to standby motion and slightly threw the broom to catch her. The low twin tails swayed gently with the movement.

Perhaps because it was a character created a long time ago, Yeowoon’s character was quite small. Looking at her now, she regrets why she didn’t increase her height a bit more when she had her body type customized. If I could go back to when I was creating a character and modify my body shape, I would have increased my height and muscle mass to the maximum, regardless of gender. There is a prejudice that just because you are a forest keeper or a healer, you are always weak… … It’s not prejudice, it’s the truth, so shouldn’t we look as strong as possible on the outside? Life is about suppressing the momentum.

After a while, the Earth Star, with its appearance completely repaired, appeared. The result was a bit different from what I had been trying to do with my hair in various unique styles. I thought he would choose a colorful gwanjong style like in Bonamamana Illusion, but the style he appeared in now was surprisingly common in both color and shape.

The humming cut was a style still favored by quite a few users thanks to its delicately expressed hair that seemed to be slightly frizzy. Although it seemed like I would get tired of it quickly because it was more of a neat shortcut than flashy. In particular, in the case of Yun Ji-gu, who was standing in front of me, it felt quite different from the Earth star I was used to, perhaps because she had dyed her hair a light brown color.

The eye plastic surgery chosen by Earth Star was ‘a bright face’. Overall, it was a style that gave a gentle and cute feeling with round eyes and drooping eye corners. The color was brown like the hair, and as befits its name, there was a large glow in the center of the eye, giving it a bright look. Even the eyelashes were customized, so it felt quite different from Chorong’s existing face.

“… what?”

I felt something off. Every time the Earth Star blinked and the corners of her mouth folded into a soft smile, I felt a little strange. In some ways, it can be seen as a common style, but this feeling does not come just from being common.

“… … .”

That was it. It wasn’t exactly the same, only the atmosphere was slightly similar, but it seemed like he was feeling this way because the person who customized the character was Ji-gu Yoon. Somehow, my stomach felt calmer than I usually like, so that model was me.

“… … .”

Yeowoon was speechless. Now that I think about it, it was more on my part. Even when Yoon Ji-gu and I were not close friends, his style was so impressive that we applied it to the game character. I didn’t think much of it at the time, but I was embarrassed to think that the person involved must have seen it.

“uh?”

At that time, Earth Star took off her clothes and was left wearing only panties. Yeo-woon was embarrassed without even realizing it because the confidence of showing off his bare skin in front of so many people seemed like an exhibitionist. Even though the people around me were not real people but NPCs, I also wondered what was the point of stripping the data cloth from a character made up of 0s and 1s. But knowing it with your head and understanding it are two different things. When I heard that the character was modeled after Yeowoon himself, I felt like I was being exposed for no reason.

Yeowoon was quietly watching Earth Star change her clothes with a slightly stiff face. She wore see-through plastic pants over her naked body.

“Fuck.”

Yeowoon muttered, his face turning white as if he were wearing perverted pants. Vinyl pants were an item released as a trap item when the see-through look first became popular. She wondered why on earth she bought the clothes she giggled about, who would wear that?

He had large butterfly wings on his back. At the same time, the plastic pants he was wearing disappeared, making him look like a strange person with only wings on his bare body.

‘Are you trying to take revenge?’

Yeo-woon hit Earth Star on the head. The height difference between her characters is significant, and Yeo Woon’s character jumps high and hits the Earth Star with a clenched fist. Among the interactive emotional expressions, there was an emotional expression called ‘hitting honey with honey’. The Earth Star’s HP has dropped by 1.

Yeo-woon hit Earth Star again on the head.

Is this kid kidding me? . Earth Star wore sumo panties on a character resembling Yeo-woon. The sight of her carefully turning behind her and showing off her round buttocks made Yeo-woon lose her senses. She changed from never buying items that weren’t cute to her.

The clothes I was wearing from earlier were all clothes that exposed my bare skin, and the clothes I wore were all like that.

It’s me.

Since I was hiding my identity from Earth, I couldn’t just force it. And if he even gets suspicious, he’ll be in big trouble.

In the front, he was wearing a normal shirt that covered his thighs, but when he turned around, the entire back was open, so the full body harness underneath the shirt was visible. In addition, he wore a black rabbit headband on top of his head, making him look like a pervert. Yeowoon was so desperate that she just laughed.

The Earth Star tilted its head. I didn’t stop there, I even danced by pressing the shift key, and I heard the sound of the string of reason being snapped in my head. Of course, it was cute what Yoon Ji-gu did, but he couldn’t forgive himself for dressing himself like that.

Yeowoon immediately clicked the illusion icon on the desktop and started playing the game. It’s childish, but it has to be returned as is. She felt like she realized what she had done to Yun Ji-gu. I thought I knew why Ji-gu Yoon had been telling me not to dress like that and personally buying me the items… .

Yeo-woon took off all of her clothes from a character resembling Yoon Ji-gu and put her in leaf panties that barely covered her crotch. She then immediately won a bid for her crucian-eye glasses at an auction house for about twice as much.

It was the outfit that Jigu Yoon hated the most in the world. Yeo-woon placed the character in a confident waiting position in the middle of Isis Square, then lowered her game window again. She planned to leave it like this for an hour or two. It would be better if a guild member who saw you while passing by captured your screen and posted it on Guild Talk asking why you were doing this. It may be childish, but it was a small revenge I could take in my own way.

When I looked up the chat window, I saw a record of Earth Star calling me countless times while I was working on Illusion. I wondered how much worse she had been dressing him in, but she changed him into decent clothes while she was away. The Earth Star was sitting next to me and had entered a waiting state, dozing off with its eyes closed. Seeing the character back in his normal everyday clothes made me feel at peace.

At that time, my cell phone rang.

‘Yoon Ji-gu’

Yeowoon, who was quietly looking at the name on the screen, turned the game volume down to minimum and answered the phone. You said you were going out to eat, but what did you call me for? It seemed like she was trying to ask me to eat with her.

“Yes, Earth.”

-brother. Would you like to eat ramen at my house?

As soon as I answered the phone, Yeowoon burst into laughter without realizing it. Before he could answer, Ji-gu Yoon asked in a sullen tone, as if he was offended by the fact that he was laughing so loudly.

-What’s wrong?

“Because you say such classic work comments… .”

I couldn’t come to my senses when a comment came to me while I was not even thinking. I don’t think I said this knowingly, but I don’t know why it’s so funny. Ugh. The voice on the other end grew louder, almost sobbing. It seemed like he finally understood what she meant.

-it’s crazy!

“Why are you flirting with me? “You suddenly want to do it?”

-Oh, that’s not it, so come quickly!

“Do you want me to suck it?”

-Oh, no. I didn’t wash in the morning, but if I shower right away, I can finish it in 5 minutes… … .

“Why are you stuttering? It’s just a joke…” .”

-… … .

“Are you going to take off everything and take a shower now?”

-… Why are you talking about taking everything off again?

“Then do you take a shower with your clothes on?”

-I just asked you to come eat ramen, but why do you always think of trash? It’s not that he doesn’t like it, he’s just curious. … … Ah, it’s hot! it’s annoying!

At the end, the tone became slightly servile, and even tears came out. It was obvious what he was thinking. I really want to appeal that I didn’t say that with that intention, but it seems that only towards the end did I realize that I was a bit hasty. Yeowoon barely suppressed her laughter and nodded her head in reply.

“Okay, I’ll pretend I’m trash.”

-… I’ll take back what I just said. Because I can’t date trash.

“Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry. “What were you doing?”

-I got hungry while playing the game. I just uploaded the water, so if you don’t come back within 5 minutes, I’m going to change your password. If you’re late, you’ll figure it out.

“I’m hungry.”

-I only have four bags, but I have rice instead.

“I am coming.”

Yeowoon sat my character down next to Earth Star, who was sitting quietly, and said, ‘Diving!’ A sign was placed in front. Like the planet Earth, the character entered a waiting state and sat down with his eyes closed and fell asleep. Yeowoon got up from her seat and put her feet into the slippers she had worn at Yun Ji-gu’s house. Tirorik. The front door, which opened with a small mechanical sound, was immediately slammed shut, and the sound of footsteps coming from beyond the door stopped after only a few steps.

Crash. After I locked the door with the lock, silence came over the house. The slightly twisted and disheveled shoes in the shoe rack seemed to indicate that the shoes had been rushed out. In the deserted house, only the faint sound of the computer running could be heard.

In an empty room, on a monitor that was shining alone, a male and female character sat leaning against each other in a friendly manner, bobbing their heads to the background music.

***

Two days later, Jigu Yoon reached his goal of reaching level 100. Yeo-Woon felt a little disappointed with him. He usually sent annoying messages all day long on weekday afternoons and told me little details about his day, but it occurred to me that Yoon Ji-gu had changed a bit these days.

-hello?

“Earth, I called because it was raining.”

-rain? Why is it raining?

“If you leave the window open, water will come in, so close it. “I thought you were going to sleep, but you’re not?”

-Ah yes. I have work to do.

“Did you eat?”

-a moment ago. What about you?

“I’m going down now with my teammates.”

Yeowoon glanced inside the office, then decided that he didn’t need to hang up the phone yet, so he moved towards the window. A cloudy sky was visible beyond the hallway window. As I was looking at the rainy cityscape, my mood suddenly sank.

“What are you doing?”

Even though there was silence for a while, the only sound that sounded like something being knocked on the other side of the receiver could be heard.

-Oh, I’m pulling weeds.

“weed?”

What’s the point of pulling weeds in the city? The cafe doesn’t have a yard, and the house is on the 9th floor… .

“Do you grow grass that cats eat at home?”

I don’t know the name, but I felt like I heard it somewhere. There are many people who grow grass that is good for cats to eat at home.

-yes? no? I also buy lettuce at the supermarket.

“No, you just weeded…” .”

“Chief Lee! Let’s go down. “I’m here.”

When I came out, Assistant Manager Kim, who was holding a wallet in his hand, raised his hand and started shaking.

“Oh, yes. … Ji-gu, I have to go eat, so I’ll hang up.”

-yes.

Yun Ji-gu hung up the phone first without any hesitation. He usually tells me to enjoy it or to tell me what to eat, but today his voice was a bit dry. It sounds like he’s doing something. No way, one more game… .

A message arrived while I was going down the elevator. Yeo-woon checked the photo sent by Ji-gu Yoon only after taking a quick look at his teammates.

There was a black cat sitting between the keyboard and the person taking the picture. And behind the cat, a monitor screen showing Little Forest’s vegetable garden appeared. just as expected. Ji-gu Yoon seemed to be immersed in Little Forest again, holding Posongi in his arms.

Yun Ji-gu belatedly conveyed in a message what he could not say over the phone. Yeowoon looked down at the text and was overcome by an unidentifiable feeling of discomfort.

‘Why is he so obsessed with lipo?’

These days, Yunji-gu was all about gaming. Even when Yeo-woon insinuatedly asked why he was working so hard, Ji-gu Yoon just vaguely explained his words. Considering that he had been a bit half-hearted on the phone just now, it meant that he was more focused on the game than on the phone.

What is it? What made Yun Ji-gu like that? There must be something… .

Yeowoon had to be lost in useless worries for a while.

***

Late in the evening, after returning home and logging into the game, Yeowoon asked a graduate student about the location of the planet Earth and moved there.

‘found.’

Yeowoon jumped up and sat down on top of the person who was selling items at the village general store and spoke to Earth Star.

As I sat down on the railing of the stairs and started talking, pretending it was a coincidence, Earth Star, who was standing in front of the NPC, turned and looked up at Yeo-woon.

Fast is fast. But why are you in such a hurry to level up?

‘Is this game so fun that you cut back on the time you spend with me? You have changed… … .’

Yeowoon muttered, not realizing that he was jealous of the game he loved so much.

“… … this.”

I wanted to grab him by the collar and shake him right away and threaten him to tell him the truth, but with the current lingering emotions, there was no justification for that. Yoon Ji-gu, that is, Earth Star, does not know that ‘dldudns’ is a lingering sound.

Actually, I was very curious. To the point where I want to know the reason for doing something.

The idea was to ask each other questions one by one. For me, I had nothing to lose. There was no reason why it couldn’t be done, so when Yeo-woon nodded, the Earth Star jumped up from its place and came up to where Yeo-woon was.

“… … ?”

It’s you. It felt somewhat funny that he was asking about his own existence, but I frowned as I wondered why he was asking such a question.

“Are you going to do something to someone you’ve never met before?”

I felt strange. Should I be angry or happy about this now? If you think about it, the person you were working with was yourself. I wondered what expression Yoon Ji-gu would make when he found out about this.

Earthstar poked my cheek and pretended to be pretty. This kid is out of his mind and slapping his tail at a stranger! Instead of answering, Yeowoon jumped up and threw honey chestnuts on Earth Star’s head. She saw that damage was 1 in red and the Earth Star giggled again.

“Which brother?”

Those words were strangely offensive to me. Not a lover, but a ‘kind of’ type?

Anyway, I don’t even know if your lover is a man, a woman, or a monster. You can just say that you started following your lover. Why are you introducing me as some type of brother?

For a moment, Yeo-woon felt as if she had become Yoon Ji-gu. He decided to admit it easily. I hate it when Ji-gu Yoon arbitrarily treats people other than himself and shows affection for people he perceives as strangers. To be honest, he seemed jealous. He glared at Earth with irritated eyes.

‘Okay, let’s see how far we can go.’

Yeowoon internally gritted his teeth and laughed. She had a rather sinister-looking smile.

plural?

That was understandable. Ji-gu Yoon, who was upset with me for some reason, is preparing for revenge. For some reason, I thought his attitude was unusual these days.

“uh?”

A completely unexpected word popped out. Yeowoon blinked as her mind went blank.

… … What is this guy really? Are you asking this of a stranger?

“Don’t leave me alone… .”

Bad habits need to be corrected. Yeo Woon’s character raised his hand and slapped Earth Star on the head. Without even avoiding the punches that struck his head in succession, the Earth Star laughed again, ‘Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk’.

“… … “You said it was revenge, what kind of situation is this?”

Now that I think about it, my birthday is really not far away. Yeowoon checked today’s date and nodded her head in agreement.

“If you have any questions, you can come to me and ask directly… .”

Why are you asking this to a third party? Yeowoon mumbled without thinking and then realized something.

“If I tell you, are you going to do it?”

If you think about it, Yoon Ji-gu’s specialty was getting strange information from the Internet and acting awkwardly in front of him before getting caught. Where on earth did he get that information? It occurred to me that he could have just caught up with a random stranger and asked questions like this. In the past, I’ve picked up strange things on my own and criticized normal people, asking them to hit me or calling me a pervert.

“Squeeze this.”

Yeo-woon felt embarrassed for a moment and hit Ji-gu Yoon on the head.

Even though it only wears down 1 per hit, its HP has been reduced by half due to being repeatedly hit from before. Earth Star took a recovery potion to restore his stamina, and Yeo-woon followed him and hit him on the head again with his fist.

It’s relevant. A lot of that too.

I must have been embarrassed for a moment when I saw the typo. Yeo-woon felt the need to discipline Yoon Ji-gu so that he would not use such vocabulary carelessly with strangers in the future. He couldn’t understand how he could say such rude things to someone he didn’t know very well.

The problem was that when I looked at Yoon Ji-gu, I kept wanting to harass him. As Yeo-woon persistently chased the Earth Star, hitting the honey chestnuts, she and other users in the village seemed to be having fun, so she started hitting the Earth Star with the honey chestnuts along with Yeo-woon. Then, they mistakenly hit other users, grabbed passers-by, and happily beat each other up, causing a loud thudding sound to echo in the middle of the village.

At that time, I received a call from Ji-gu Yoon. Yeowoon quietly looked at his phone and pressed the call button only when the call was about to hang up.

-brother! Do you really suck when you hit me?!

“… … ?”

This is what people say about making phone calls at random times. Yeo-woon was in a daze for a moment, unable to judge the situation, and then asked.

“What are you talking about?”

-I heard it sucks when my brother hits me. Are you really excited?

“When did I?”

-Why do you keep hitting me? Even now!

“… … .”

-This is my brother!

Puk puk puk puk puk. Yeowoon gently let go of his hand that was holding the interactive emoticon. Only then did the movement of beating the honey chestnuts on the head of the Earth star stop.

“how did you know?”

-Why don’t you know? I heard your nickname is Lee Yeo-un in English.

“… … what?”

After hearing those words, Yeowoon looked up at the English nickname hanging above her head.

dldudns.

Yeowoon Lee.

… … Is it true?

-Do you think I’m stupid?

“When did you find out?”

-I knew it from the beginning?

Yeowoon became embarrassed. After hearing that, she thought it was even stranger that she didn’t recognize it. She nicknamed her this way so many times that she even forgot how to spell her name in English. Most of Yeowoon’s nicknames were just English names. She thought it was one of many such nicknames.

‘Anyway, you knew from the beginning?’

Then, he deliberately pretended not to know, and used polite language to act as if he was a stranger. It was said that he knew everything and was just watching. That’s a little… It was a shame.

-Hey, are you really angry? Why aren’t you saying anything?

“Earth.”

-Of course that’s a lie, right? I know everything just by hearing your voice.

“… … .”

-ah! I’m quick to say it’s a lie. yes?

He said he knew everything, but seeing him answer in an impatient voice made me laugh. It’s ridiculous that he knew everything about my identity and played with me by pretending not to know anything, but it’s also quite cute. Of course, the moment I was about to say it was a lie, a good idea occurred to me. I was very curious about what purpose he had in asking me this question and what the revenge story was about, but there was something more important than that.

‘Are you the only one seeking revenge?’

It was a small revenge for Yoon Ji-gu deceiving him. Yeowoon deliberately let out a sigh of relief and spoke seriously, taking all the laughter out of her voice.

“Listen seriously. It’s all real… .”

-yes?

“When you got hit before, it hurt so much. It’s a pity, but what you like is more important to me than what I like… … .”

-What a lie!

“I’m sorry for hiding it for so long. I pretended not to be afraid because I was afraid of you, but I thought that one day I would tell the truth. “I’ll take this opportunity to be honest about what happened.”

-Don’t do it, don’t do it! Don’t be honest!

“I don’t need anything else as a birthday present, I just want to receive it from you… .”

-evil! Ouch!

The phone was hung up with a startled scream. At the same time, Earth also ran away from the game. Anyway, it’s quite sloppy. Yeo-woon laughed for a while while holding the cell phone that had lost its call.

***

Hey, you must be kidding. Should I say it was a joke? Are you going to tell me soon? Even if I forgot yesterday, I should definitely say it today, right?

From that day on, whenever I met Lee Yeo-woon, it felt like his eyes were constantly on my butt. The slight smile on her lips looked strangely sinister, and Lee Yeo-woon began to look like a crazy person. Yun Ji-gu was trembling and watching for several days. A figure holding a frying pan-sized paddle in his hand flashed over Yeowoon’s face. As she continued to imagine, the size of the paddle in her imagination grew bigger and the sensations of that day came back to her clearly, making her shoulders tremble.

Of course, it wasn’t that he didn’t trust Lee Yeo-woon at all. Contrary to what I had misunderstood a long time ago, he did not have a hobby of raising slaves, and I also heard that he had no one in particular to date.

However, I have never really decided on ‘that taste’ and moved on. All I could think of was Yeo-woon Lee, who had hugged me and soothed me affectionately as I shed tears over her pain and injustice. She thought that Lee Yeo-woon at the time might have really thought about herself and just asked.

Yeowoon is basically considerate and is always kind. His sexual orientation aside, he will not do anything he absolutely hates. Every time he felt like an adult, something he had never had since he was born, Ji-gu Yoon felt a little embarrassed because he felt like such a nerd. He is ashamed of himself for having been spanked by Yeo-woon like that in the past, crying, and not only that, but even making her cum. It’s a good thing that only Lee Yeo-un saw what happened. If someone he knew had caught on, he might have bitten his tongue and committed suicide.

After successfully completing the siege, Lee Yeo-woon came to Dajjagoja’s house and dragged her out, saying that she had pre-ordered a movie that was released the day before yesterday. Looking back, I saw that she had been singing about wanting to see Yeo-woon for half a year.

‘It’s obvious.’

It’s probably a story where characters with eyes half the size of their faces come out and sing a song, then fight, then dramatically reconcile, sing, and have a happy ending. I thought that two adult men should hold hands and go see something that only children watch, but I didn’t dare say that out loud. It’s been a while since we went to the movies together, and even though I don’t like the genre, it was nice to watch the movie together.

“Earth.”

“… … !”

“… … “Why are you surprised?”

“Oh, no. I was thinking about something else. “What is it?”

“We took the wrong route.”

Yeo-woon smiled apologetically, grabbed Ji-gu Yoon’s wrist and looked at his phone. Why did she feel the need to watch a cartoon movie in 4D? She wondered why Yeo-woon had brought her to the neighborhood next to her and was wandering her way.

“They say you can get there by crossing the big road across the park over there.”

“brother. “You don’t know how to read a map, do you?”

“The GPS was weird.”

Yeowoon slapped my forehead without causing any pain and grinned. No matter where I looked, she had such a refreshing smile that I couldn’t even think of a person with such tastes. What if someone sees it and falls in love? Yoon Ji-gu walked with her lingering pace matching her pace, and her face secretly blushed angrily.

Even though it was a holiday evening, there weren’t that many people in the park. While walking along the path between the large trees, Yeowoon’s steps slowed down and he fell behind. Ji-gu Yun belatedly turned his head and looked at Yeo-woon.

“… … ?”

Yeowoon was looking at a person sitting on a bench in the distance. A male student with a youthful face is looking at his cell phone with a smile. Yun Ji-gu came back, glanced at the person Yeo-woon was looking at, and asked.

“Do you know this kid?”

“no.”

“But why do you look at me like that?”

“just. I felt like I was going to get hit… .”

Yeowoon tilted his head and muttered. One hit?! Yun Ji-gu’s eyes widened. He immediately turned his head and was wary of the baby he had never seen before. That’s because the male student sitting on the bench had a very pretty face, so at first glance, I thought he was an aspiring celebrity.

“Why don’t you look away quickly?!”

“Yes?”

Lee Yeo-woon brightens her face. Even though she already knew this, her stomach turned every time she saw it in person. I feel like she will abandon me at any moment and replace me with someone else… … . All she had from me was money and my face, so I had to make good use of what she already had and keep the afterglow by my side.

‘Fuck, is that what you think when you look at that young kid?’

At that moment, Jigu Yoon made a decision. Yeah, either she’s a pervert or she cares about me and she hid that fact, that’s fine. But it was better to beat her ass than to reveal my tastes to that brat. It hurts and sucks, but she wasn’t a pervert the moment Yeo-woon was born, so maybe I also have that kind of taste latent in me. As Yeo-woon always said, she was the one who cummed on the first day she hit him, so she must have a lot of latent perversion in me too.

“Oh, don’t look! “If I just adjust it, it’ll be fine!”

“huh?”

Ji-gu Yoon covered Yeo-woon’s eyes with his large hand and got irritated. She’s better than that guy. She doesn’t like that. Anyway, that’s it.

“Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”

Yeowoon looked up at herself as if she was dumbfounded. Even though she had seen it all, her stomach was in knots at the sight of her innocent face.

“Oh really! If you’re doing this in front of me, it doesn’t mean it’s worse when I’m not around! Now, it doesn’t matter how old you are. Do you have no conscience? Seriously, if you look at me like this and pretend to be pretty, everyone will think that you like them!”

“What are you talking about? That’s not it, back there… . “There was a kid standing behind the tree holding a club.”

“yes?”

“Seeing that they are hiding, I guess they are gathering their friends and having a gang fight.”

Kids these days are scary. A lingering feeling clicked her tongue and she shook her head. Now I see that behind the high school boy, there is a high school student with fierce eyes glaring at him. He also looked to be about the same age as the guy sitting on the bench, but his expression was unusual. This was because he was whetting his appetite by hitting the baseball bat with one hand, as if he was trying to hit something.

“… … “Just go.”

If you get involved in something like that, you won’t be able to recover. Only then did Ji-gu Yoon agree with the statement that kids these days are scary.

“What if that happens on the news today?”

Yeowoon picked up the cell phone with the map on it and began texting a report to 112 along with the location information. High school students are trying to fight with sticks in the park. In less than a minute, I received a call from the 112 number saying, ‘Registration complete. ‘We will dispatch quickly.’ came the reply. Yeo-woon seemed to have finally felt relieved and took her steps with a sigh of relief.

“They looked cute.”

“What’s cute? Brother, have you searched your conscience? “You were both in high school?”

“Yes, you are the most handsome~”

“That’s natural. Is it because he hasn’t grown so much that he’s smaller than me? “Brother, I can’t go without what’s mine now!”

Yeowoon glanced around at those words and whispered quietly, relieved that no one heard him.

“I told you not to say things like that outside, right?”

“when?”

“now.”

Yeowoon reached out and pinched Yoon Jigu’s butt hard.

“evil!”

Ji-gu Yoon, who had been talking to himself a little while ago about the potential perversion in me too, screamed and jumped up like a ball and ran away from Yeo-woon Lee.

“really!”

Yeo-woon covered her buttocks with both hands and looked at her as if she were a pervert, and her shoulders trembled and she giggled.

***

On the way out from watching a movie together, a kid who was rushing out spilled a drink on Yeowoon. She had no choice but to return to her house, wash up, and blink her eyes when she saw Yun Ji-gu sleeping on her bed.

“When did you come?”

The ends of Yun Ji-gu’s hair were wet, as if he had gone home and washed up. His hair wasn’t dry enough and he came to someone else’s house and took up the bed while he was sleeping.

“I know what I can do and I’m not afraid… .”

Yeo-woon smiled faintly and sat down on the edge of the bed, playing with Yun Ji-gu’s hair. She must have been using her cell phone just a moment ago, and she was lying face down on the bed, holding the cell phone with the screen off in her hand. She is the Earth, she said, and when she called her name, she gave no answer, and she became playful as she saw her lover sleeping soundly. Yeowoon climbed on top of her bed and she patted Yun Jiji’s butt and whispered to him.

“wake up.”

“… … .”

“Yoon Ji-gu, wake up.”

“… … huh.”

“If you don’t wake up, I’ll do whatever I want.”

“OMG.”

“I said I could.”

It seemed like he wasn’t sleeping very deeply, as he was muttering in his sleep as if he was bothered. It seemed like she would wake up right away if she called just a little longer, so Yeo-woon carefully grabbed Yun Ji-gu’s hand and dragged her behind her. She then took out a random tie from her closet and wrapped it a couple of times around Yun Ji-gu’s wrist. I couldn’t remember how to tie a knot that wouldn’t come undone, so I roughly tied it about four times and put my hand behind my back. After that, Yun Ji-gu looked quite appetizing.

I put my hand through my pants and felt bare skin in my palm. As I pressed his firm buttocks, Yun Ji-gu shifted his legs. Yeowoon pulled down his pants and underwear at once and let them rest on his thighs.

“Are you still not awake?”

Yeo-woon asked softly in a voice mixed with laughter, rubbing his buttocks with his palms and then lightly hitting them on the bare skin. slap! Her butt muscles twitched as her palms ran up her skin. Yoon Ji-gu, who was wandering in her sleep, frowned and turned over his body, then opened his eyes in confusion as his hands could not move as he wanted. He slightly lifted her upper body and looked behind her, and when he saw Yeo-woon sitting on his thigh, he took her breath away.

“what?”

“Are you awake?”

“brother… ? ah!”

match! The palm hit the flesh below violently. All the muscles in my body contracted, and even my thighs beneath the lingering pain became hard as stone.

“W-what are you doing now… .”

“Yes, wake up.”

“I’m awake, I’m awake!”

Yeo-woon fell down on top of the embarrassed Ji-gu Yoon and kissed her. I tangled my tongue with hers, pulled her out, and sucked her once, and I felt her tense muscles relax.

“Ugh!”

slap. The skin made contact and made a sound of tearing the air. Even though the hit didn’t hurt that much, Yun Ji-gu couldn’t hide his embarrassment and was breathing quickly. Even if he felt something strange now, there would be nothing he could do since his hands were already tied and his pants were half off. Yeo-woon sat up on Yun Ji-ji’s back and gently ran his palm over her reddened skin, hitting only one spot.

“Yoon Ji-gu.”

“yes?”

“Are you upset about something with me?”

“… … Sad? why?”

“You said you would take revenge on me.

“When am I? Oh, don’t hit me! sick!”

“Speaking of Lippo, what is the revenge you were trying to get by pretending not to know that I came as an alt character?”

“plural? That’s not what I wanted to do to you… “Huh!”

Yeowoon suppressed laughter as he gently rubbed his reddened skin with his hands. She had already received a few blows and her skin was already warm, making her feel warm.

“Anyone but me?”

“Brother, but come down… .”

His voice was shaking, as if he hated being beaten so much. This was the moment when Yeo-woon, who had thought about stopping the prank at this point, was about to wake up Yoon Ji-gu.

“… … ?”

“Oh, shit!”

The penis that was under my thighs had been growing in size for some time. As soon as she lifts her waist slightly, her genitals jump up, appealing to her presence. He asked, poking the tip of her glans, which was wet and shiny with her lingering sensation, with her finger.

“Why is this like this?”

“Oh, rub it there…” “Huh!”

A small dimple appeared on Yoon Ji-gu’s buttocks as she tensed her body. Yeowoon squeezed his penis quite tightly and asked secretly as if interrogating him.

“Earth. “Why has it already become like this?”

“ah! My brother touched me… .”

“I’ve never touched this place before.”

“… … .”

“Are you right? also?”

Ji-gu Yoon avoided Yeo-woon’s persistent questioning gaze. The moment he moved his legs and twisted his back, a sharp pain shot across his skin. He lay sideways and trembled. His legs even twitched at the unfamiliar pain, but for some reason, heat pooled in his lower abdomen.

Every time Yeowoon hit me, he gave me a bottle and gently stroked the skin around it, as if he was giving me medicine. The area between Ji-gu Yoon’s legs became swollen and swollen from the skinship that was like a reward after pain.

“Yoon Ji-gu.”

“Ah, Mr. why!”

Even if I pretended to be okay, I couldn’t hide my trembling voice. The heavily suppressed voice became provocative, and Yeo-woon covered her mouth with one hand and looked down at Yun Ji-gu, who was blushing beneath her. Her creamy juices were dripping from the tip of her large penis, and her soap-scented skin was only partially reddened under her hands.

I was planning on putting clothes on her again and hugging her to comfort her after she woke up, but it started out as a joke and the atmosphere was getting too heated. To be honest, I was also a student, so I didn’t want to quit here.

“Untie my hands!”

“no.”

slap! He kept hitting me on the same side of the buttocks, and now even the slightest touch made me flinch. He groaned and rubbed his cheek against the bed sheets. He even seemed to have a little tear at the corner of his eye.

“Why are you the only one touching me?”

“huh? “You touch it too.”

“You tied me up!”

“sorry… Because you stayed still… .”

“Don’t be ridiculous. “I’m not sorry.”

“huh… … .”

“If they keep doing this, they will continue to accuse me of being fast.”

There was resentment in his voice. It seems like I’ve been teasing him too much. Yeowoon answered with a small smile.

“I won’t make fun of you today. promise.”

“Then relax your hands. “I’m frustrated!”

“You don’t like that?”

Yeo-woon squeezed Ji-gu Yoon’s buttocks with a mean comment. He took a deep breath and was shocked. Ji-gu Yoon rolled onto his bed to avoid the lingering pain and barely managed to sit up. And he whined, trying to free his hands that were tied behind him.

“Earth.”

Yeo-woon, who was looking at Yoon Ji-gu with a smile, hinted. By the time Yun Ji-gu, who had been preoccupied with untying the knot, looked away, it was already too late.

“I never asked you to sit down… .”

“… … !”

Yeo-woon pressed Yun Ji-gu’s chest tightly and pushed her away. Yun Ji-gu, who was lying on his back on the bed without even feeling the need to sit up, looked up at Yeo-woon with his eyes wide. Before Yun Ji-gu got up again, Yeo-woon sat on top of Yun Ji-gu’s upper body and slowly loosened his pants.

Yeowoon Lee was sitting on top of me and doing a lower body striptease! Yun Ji-gu, who was looking at the scene right before his eyes, froze in a daze, even holding his breath.

“If you’re going to do whatever you want, why are you sitting in my room without permission?”

“Hyung too, I always do what I want in my room… .”

“Yoon Ji-gu.”

“… … .”

“You’re blushing again.”

As her finger touched her cheek, Jigu Yoon’s neck moved up and down significantly. Yeowoon, who was sitting on his chest, was holding and moving his semi-erect penis.

‘What is this?!’

Yun Ji-gu, who couldn’t believe this situation, opened his lips slightly, showing a gap. He still felt like he was dreaming. It was none other than Yeo-woon Lee, who looked down at my face and started masturbating her. Her pitch-black eyes wavered, unable to figure out what to do. Her hands were tied, and the lingering feeling wasn’t even touching my body, but just watching the scene in front of her, I felt my genitals jump.

There was a foul smell right in front of my nose. Ji-gu Yoon looked at Yeo-woon, who was making a squishy sound and revealing her desire for him, and then mustered up the courage to stick out his tongue.

“what.”

Yeowoon smiled slightly and muttered. Her liquid, which had been flowing down her flesh, touched her tongue. It tasted strange. A thin thread stretched between her Yeoun’s penis and her Yun Ji-gu’s tongue and then snapped. Yeo-woon, who was looking down at him with a face reddened by heat, began to gently rub her tongue on Ji-gu Yun’s tongue.

“good?”

Phew, Yeowoon asked me with a small sigh. I felt a hand affectionately stroking her head. She couldn’t answer because her mouth was full of dick… … it was good. She saw Yeo-woon masturbating against her, why she showed it to me while sitting on top of me, and how she put the dick in her mouth as she pleased… , More than anything, I felt uplifted by the thought that the only thing filled with his eyes was myself. I was so happy that I was the one he was excited about that I didn’t know what to do.

“Ugh… … !”

As the parted lips bit the tip of the glans and murmured, a lingering feeling made me arch my back. At that moment, Yeowoon ejaculated first. Ji-gu Yun did her best not to ejaculate as she received a stream of semen on her face. She didn’t even touch Yeo-un, because she knew that if she ejaculated while sucking Yeo-un’s dick, she would be teased by him for a whole month.

“… “Is it Earth?”

I want to put it in. I want to hug Yeowoon and kiss her right now.

“are you okay?”

“yes?”

“What got in my eyes.”

“No, no… .”

“… … Butt. “Does it hurt a lot?”

Yeo-woon, who came to his senses belatedly, wiped his face and asked. Are you sick? … Oh, it looks like it hurts? Ji-gu Yoon did not miss the opportunity to receive Yeo-woon’s concern and grumbled with her lips puffed out.

“sick.”

“Sorry. At first it was a joke, but without me knowing… .”

“… … “Someone slaps their lover’s butt as a joke.”

“Are you mad?”

Yeowoon furrowed his eyebrows and muttered as if he was sorry.

fury? Why are you angry? I’m a pretty girl anyway, so what does it matter whether I do what I want or not? Yun Ji-gu thought to himself blankly and then shook his head. He didn’t know what to say so… . Yeowoon then whispered, visibly relieved.

“I’m really sorry. You’re so cute when you sleep that I don’t even know… .”

Yun Ji-gu, who had been dazed and unable to come to his senses, finally muttered softly.

“… yo. this.”

“huh?”

“… … “It was good.”

He muttered, his cheeks blushing.

“what… ?”

Yeowoon’s hand stopped at the completely unexpected words.

“Well, it wasn’t that good before. “I liked it when my brother touched me.”

“uh?”

“Now, getting hit is just normal, but it’s okay for my brother to stroke me with warm hands afterward, so I think that’s why I really liked it. … … But why only hit one side? On the other side… ?”

“What… ?”

“… … “It tickles.”

Crazy, what are you talking about? You want me to spank the other butt?

“Actually, I kept thinking that while I was sucking your dick. Is that weird?”

Why are you so embarrassed? Yeowoon was so shocked that he was speechless.

“oh my god! I guess I’m really talented… .”

“… … .”

It was such an absurd thing to say while being so embarrassed that I couldn’t even make eye contact. Yun Ji-gu looked up at Yeo-woon and said in a very excited voice, probably feeling proud that he had endured that time so well.

“brother. “What else do you want to do other than this?”

“uh?”

“I told you I could guess everything. “Now, don’t hide your true face.”

“copy… what?”

“Well, I don’t think it’s bad either. I told you this before, right? “I can do this for my brother.”

“Uh… .”

“Before that… You can use the stick after you get more used to it. It was really painful, so I took it once or three times and then took it out when I got used to it. “You understand what I’m saying, right?”

“A club? … … Ah, that rice spatula… ?”

Yeowoon muttered as he thought of the paddle that was sitting in his drawer, collecting dust.

“Earth… You want to be hit by me three more times… … ?”

“brother! What should I do for you on your birthday? He asked me to give it to him as a gift. yes?”

“No, actually. I’m all kidding… .”

“uniform? “Would you like me to wear a school uniform?”

“You’re kidding… … .”

“If I go to my parents’ house, I’ll still have all my school uniforms, right?”

“Deh…” … .”

“I haven’t worn it much, so it’s almost new. Shall I bring that? Or you can wear it.”

“Hey, what are you talking about? “Why am I wearing that?”

“But it’s my birthday, so I don’t have to do something I haven’t done before. I’ve seen being tied up, and I’ve been hit before… … “Wow!”

Yeo-woon covered the mouth of Ji-gu Yoon, who kept talking nonsense. As soon as her delicate tongue was inserted, Yun Ji-gu’s eyes went from wide to soft, and he opened his mouth and tilted his head. How much did they covet each other like that? Something that shouldn’t have touched the back of Yeowoon’s head while he was sucking on Jigu Yoon’s lips.

“… … !”

Yeo-woon, startled by the hand naturally covering her head, pushed Ji-gu Yoon away forcefully and asked.

“… “What are your hands?”

“why?”

“… … .”

I had never released the hands that were tied behind my back, but Yun Ji-gu was playing with them so naturally. Only then did I discover that the tie was torn in half and was no longer usable. Yun Ji-gu, who tore off all the strings that tightly bound his hands, blushed and hugged his lingering affection. The fully erect penis poked Yeo-woon’s bottom.

“It’s the Earth.”

… Is it because I left it for a while that it feels bigger than usual?

“… … !”

Yeo-woon tilted his head back as he felt the genitals being deeply inserted into the narrow bottom. The sound of flesh meeting flesh filled the room. Yun Ji-gu could not hold back the pleasure and kissed all over his face, his ears dyed bright red.

“Brother, you can really look forward to your birthday… .”

‘crazy.’

For the first time in his life, Yeowoon was afraid of his birthday.

***

‘what. Did you mean to take revenge not on me, but on Zero or him? why?’

Last night, Yeowoon asked in an absurd voice. Ji-gu Yoon revealed some facts that he had been hiding because he was too embarrassed to talk about them. A user named Zero keeps following him around, telling him that he is mine, and binding him when he enters the village, making it difficult to progress through the game. It must have been hard for Yeo-woon to hear those words, she said, taking my side and patting her butt.

Ji-gu Yoon decided to forever hide the fact that the main reason he decided to seek revenge was because of the word ‘slow’. That’s because I thought it was a very childish and petty reason.

‘But why were you in such a hurry to level up?’

‘I’m going to the military soon, so I have to get it done before then.’

‘If I just leave it like that, I’m sure I’ll feel sad when I enter the training camp, right?’

is it? Yun Ji-gu felt a little relieved at those words.

‘Well, it’s still different from handling it with my own hands.’

‘He’s at max level and you’re level 100.’

‘are you okay. Level difference damage correction is applied starting from level 100.’

The PVP damage correction information according to the level difference in Little Forest listed on the public website was as follows.

Damage increases in proportion to the level difference with the battle opponent, and basic stats are also corrected. Of course, there are differences in equipment and skill damage needs to be taken into consideration, but it was impossible to not reach level 100 and have to postpone revenge for over a year.

However, I was worried about what to do because I thought I would lose if I went one-on-one, and Yeowoon came up with a solution.

***

Kang!

When Yoon Ji-gu hit Zero’s head with a honey chestnut strike, Zero’s HP was reduced by 1 and he looked back.

Sure enough, Zero started running after Yoon Ji-gu without even telling him to follow. Ji-gu Yoon occasionally looked back and opened a freedom portal in the middle of the village. As he stretched out his hand into the air, a circular portal appeared before his eyes, barely large enough for one person to pass through.

As soon as the Earth Star passed through it, Zero also rushed in just in the nick of time, and as soon as the condition for canceling the summoning, ‘two or more people pass through’, was met, the portal disappeared from the village along with the two people.

‘You have entered Forest of Patience Ⅱ (Arena).’

‘Monsters from existing maps do not appear in the arena map.’

‘It is impossible to use fighting healing potions.’

‘The cooldown of regular recovery potions is doubled.’

‘HP characters do not decrease when attacked.’

‘Player resurrection option has been disabled.’

‘Battle time: 1 minute’

‘Victory Condition: The player who survives until the end of the battle wins.’

‘If all players survive until the end of the battle, it is considered a draw.’

As soon as I entered the map, the fighting map conditions set by the player went up all at once. However, Zero accepted entry into the fighting map without reading any of the conditions. To him, Earth was still just a level 2 newbie, and he thought that no matter how much he grew in size, he would not be able to deal with the old man. At that moment, a graduate student waiting above rushed forward with a shield.

‘Rush of victory’

He cut Zero’s HP by half and put him into a temporary state of unconsciousness.

‘If the longer it goes on, the more likely you are to lose, don’t give them a chance to attack and finish it off in one turn.’

‘… … !’

For an opinion suggested by Lee Yeo-woon, who knew nothing, it was quite useful. It was also the most suitable tactic for Yun Ji-gu, who had poured everything into his speed and speed so far. Yeo-woon introduced someone who would cover the level difference, and the graduate student he introduced to me gave me the first skill and fell behind.

While Zero’s eyes were spinning, Earth Star, which had been waiting in advance, poured out all the skills it had prepared. Even when the stun was released, Zero was unable to come to his senses due to the continuous barrage of linked skills and died less than 30 seconds later.

Skills were pouring in at a speed I had never seen before, and my HP was all reduced without any time to dodge or do anything about it. As planned, the graduate student committed suicide using the self-destruct skill, and in the end, the last surviving user in the map was Earthstar, so Earthstar won the game.

‘It’s Zero’s defeat. Arena Points – 80 points

‘Your dream is the defeat of a graduate student. Arena Points – 20 points

‘The final winner, ㅈi9 Star. ‘Arena points +100 points’

When the battle ended in an instant, the three players moved to the Tree Continent, the map where the Forest of Patience belongs.

At the save point in the middle of the village, Yeo-woon was setting up a stand and selling food, ‘Give me the ingredients and I’ll combine them.’ Zero, who had remained dumbfounded even right after the battle, finally jumped up and asked Earth Star.

‘Slayer <Zero> has bound you.’

Fuck, again. Yun Ji-gu crouched down with a look of arrogance on his face.

Yeo-Woon approached the Earth Star that was tightly tied to Zero and handed Zero a pie item using the chef job’s special skill, ‘Food Thrust’. Zero thoughtlessly tried to use items to fill up his little remaining stamina. It was then.

‘Zero has passed away. Cause of death: Poison. Place of death: No. 1, Tree Village

‘asdfasdf’s Arena Points +10’

Nearby players gathered around Zero, who suddenly died on a peaceful street, and made a fuss. And Yeowoon became the first production user to earn arena points this season.

Zero, who was brought back to life using the resurrection stone, started rolling on the floor and making a fuss, demanding that the points be returned. It is said that because he died from the production worker, his points were reduced much more than when he died from the Earth Star.

Little Forest is my first game with production jobs, so this is surprising, but I didn’t know there was a function to add poison debuffs to food.

“But the revenge is already over, so why…” ?”

Jigu Yoon tilted his head and asked.

“… … !”

Ji-gu Yoon screamed and forced the game to end. Even in the village where he disappeared, players still stayed and talked.

The topic of conversation shifted to Zero’s military enlistment. It seems that the national call coming next week was a bigger blow than losing a game to Yoon Ji-gu. Yeo-woon, who had completed his revenge, followed Yoon Ji-gu and logged out of the game with a relieved heart.

***

Ji-gu Yoon was explaining Yeo-woon’s heroic story in a grandiose way, as if he was impressed by the subject who shouted at Yeo-woon’s ‘You’re mine’ remark and left the game, and killed Zero once again with poisoned food.

Of course it’s the first time you’ve heard it. Because it’s not an illusion. Jigu Yoon snorted.

Yeo Woon was currently wearing a matching couple look with Yoon Ji Gu for the first time in a while. He specifically promised not to wear a cloak for one day. Yeo-woon wore white rabbit ears to match her rugged pet, and Yoon Ji-gu wore black cat ears to match her ghost cat. Both characters were wearing different colored suits and shorts, but it looked much better with the hats in black and white.

In less than a week, the lipo refugees seemed to be tired of the ‘Tenon look’ and went back to the original, crappy cloak. There were often merchants who bought up all the philosopher’s clothes on the server in hopes of getting a quick price, but they ended up shedding tears of blood as they just became people who worked hard to buy clothes that no one would pay for.

‘Captain Poseidon used the gathering of all forces. If you accept, you will be taken to the guild room.’

“What, again?”

Due to the guild master’s abuse of power, most of the guild members gathered in the guild room. Captain Poseidon created a burning ground with his authority and placed Lee Yeo-woon and Yun Ji-gu in the middle. The two were tied to a stick and looked down at the guild members surrounding the fire pit.

Guild members started a campfire surrounding the couple being burned at the stake. Wandu Wandya and Park Hwi Bugae danced to the background music of the guild room, and Kitty Nyang Na Nyang clapped. At the same time, the guild master demoted the two people.

‘Ji9 Star has been demoted to a regular guild member.’

‘neutaaaa has been demoted to regular guild member.’

Yeo-woon and Yoon Ji-gu always went up and down in guild position. Even though the position system is a system where you increase your level based on your contribution within the guild, Poseidon had the guild master and assistant guild master change their positions arbitrarily. A month ago, she also held the title of honorary guild member, two levels higher than an ordinary guild member, but she continued to go up and down like this, so now she doesn’t feel awkward no matter where she is and seems to have given up. .

Now, in fact, the only people who cared about their positions within the guild were Nyangnyangnyangnyang and Yoon Ji-gu himself.

Every single guild member gathered in the guild room raised their hands. The scene where the hand came up from the end as if riding a wave was quite spectacular.

‘Nyankyangnyangnyangnyang has been demoted to elite guild member.’

‘Wandu Wandya has been demoted to a regular guild member.’

‘al0ha has been demoted to regular guild member.’

…

‘The couple look is cute.’

Whether his guild position was lowered or he was burned at the stake, the fact that even this moment was accompanied by a lingering feeling satisfied Yun Ji-gu. Looking at it now, the bright red flames and the black-and-white suit seem to match surprisingly well, so Ji-gu Yoon pressed the screenshot button and saved this scene in his memory.
