Ch.182182 – Organizations Have Protocols

<182 – Organizations Have Action Guidelines>

In fact, evil organizations appearing at Gift Academy have several characteristics.

Organizations with fixed organizational identities.

Organizations with variable organizational identities.

The former are like this:

Their organizational symbols, goals, and members are similar or identical each time.

These are what you’d call fixed-appearance NPCs, fixed-appearance organizations.

Naturally, these groups have long been thoroughly dissected by veteran players, with their key skills, appearance locations, and even affection triggers and corruption routes already exposed.

They’re essentially favorite restaurants for veteran players.

The latter are like this:

Their organizational symbols, goals, and members change each time.

Because of this characteristic, some are difficult to notice while others are easy to spot.

These are non-fixed random appearance organizations that make you ask “Who are you?” in each playthrough.

Naturally, you have to piece together the puzzle using the few unchanging elements to determine which organization from other playthroughs this one corresponds to.

For instance, the leader of a certain organization had an experience in childhood where they wore a cursed equipment item and was misunderstood by society as having impure tastes.

To return this experience to society, they made others wear impure clothing, which became the origin of an evil organization classified as the Malicious Clothing Group.

This time, the Bikini Warrior Group corresponded to this case.

“Bikini armor looks too cold!”

“That’s why I want to make you wear it more. This feeling of wearing cursed equipment that’s embarrassing in summer and cold in winter—someone who hasn’t worn it would never understand!”

“I don’t want to wear such uncomfortable clothes!”

“Oh no.”

Oh no, my ass!

It seems bikini armor also comes with an intelligence-lowering curse.

“Then I’ll tell you the benefits of wearing this outfit. First, you don’t have to worry about what to wear every day.”

“I wear my uniform every day!”

“…But you have to wear pantyhose. Isn’t that uncomfortable? The hassle of lying on your bed, putting your legs into stockings that might tear or get holes, and pulling them up to your thighs.”

“That’s true. But bikini armor is still…”

“Summer is coming soon, have you thought about how hot it will be? If you wear bikini armor then, you won’t have to worry about the heat this year!”

“What about the cold?”

“…You’ll need to buy a magic cloak with good insulation.”

“Will you provide the thermal cloak as equipment too?”

“No… you have to buy it with your own money. They do make cloaks, but you have to pay for them yourself. What a bunch of scammers.”

“Wow, that’s really bad.”

“Right? You can unlock equipment removal after corrupting with bikini armor ten times, but do you know how much suffering that is until then? Being treated like a pervert all the time.”

“Can’t be helped. You’re wearing bikini armor after all.”

“That’s right… because it’s bikini armor. You shouldn’t wear clothes like this.”

“Yes. Hang in there, big sister!”

“Goodbye!”

“Bye bye. Cute little one, goodbye too!”

As the sister who was about to part ways amicably rushed back and blocked my path.

“Where do you think you’re going, trying to leave so naturally!!”

“Hehe. You caught me.”

“This is really… you’re making fun of me because I was being nice to you for being cute. This won’t do. We’re done talking. Inventory on, summon Bikini Armor S50!”

A glossy armor that covers from the chest guard around the lower chest, encircling the thoracic line and abdomen, covering the pubic bone and connecting around the back with exposed skin in between—a daring armor.

For bikini armor, it covered a relatively high area, about 50% of the body.

“Little one. I was being merciful by showing you bikini armor with more coverage. While I’m still being nice, put this on and corrupt with bikini armor.”

“What if I refuse?”

“…If big sister gets really angry, you’ll find out what micro bikini armor looks like. For reference, it covers less than 5% of your body.”

“My goodness! How could such an excellent armor exist!”

“If you understand how terrifying this armor is… Huh? Excellent?”

Bikini armor.

No man could be unaware of this armor’s existence.

A costume item that appears with a certain probability in the “Blacksmith’s Secret Room” accessible only after maximizing intimacy with the blacksmith!

One of the blacksmith’s three sacred items along with fishnet stocking bunny girl suits and iron maid uniforms!

“Can’t you just sell it to me for money?”

“Huh…? You want to buy this?”

“There’s someone I really want to make wear it!”

Bikini armor emphasizes eroticism by revealing body lines while being worse than wearing nothing, so naturally it has tremendous impact when worn by NPCs with nice bodies.

But people don’t prefer bikini armor solely for lewd purposes.

“You’re really a strange child. Liking such an unpleasant outfit so much. Do you perhaps like girls?”

“Well, yes, but I have a different purpose!”

“Using bikini armor for non-lewd purposes means… you want to humiliate someone you dislike by making them wear it!?”

Fear appeared on Poyee’s face.

“Oh please. It’s not like that. I’ll use it for something good, so hurry up and sell it to me, okay?”

“This is not for sale. I’m not carrying it around to sell, but to make others wear it!”

“Either way, it just needs to be worn by someone else!”

“I don’t feel good about it!”

“Someone who cares about others’ feelings is forcing cursed items on people?”

“At least I can choose who wears it. Like women better than me, or those born to good parents, or those who were rude and arrogant to me.”

100% self-serving purposes, I see.

“If you take this bikini armor from me and make someone weaker than me wear it, or a poor orphan from the frontier with no parents, or someone who was kind to me, how uncomfortable and distressed would I feel!”

“That’s true.”

“Right? You understand now? You accept why I can’t sell it?”

Poyee kindly confirmed repeatedly like soothing a stubborn child.

Though her purpose is impure, she’s quite a nice person.

“Then how about you listen to who I want to make wear it and judge afterward? You might regret not selling it if you make assumptions without hearing me out!”

“Sigh. Fine. Let’s hear it. Who are you so desperate to make wear it?”

“My friend Morb!”

“Morb? What kind of friend is that?”

“A friend who loves training and works hard at practice.”

Perhaps it’s a name she hasn’t heard before.

Poyee tilted her head.

“Is he stronger than me?”

“Weaker!”

“Is his family wealthy?”

“I don’t think so!”

“Not related to me in any way?”

“Just my friend!”

“Then there’s no way I’d sell it! Did you even listen to anything I just said?”

I understand why Poyee is angry.

But I have my reasons for being persistent.

“I know the hidden secret of bikini armor!”

“…Secret of bikini armor?”

“That it closely affects the wearer’s evasion rate!”

An armor with less protective area can’t possibly be sturdier than regular armor.

It’s garbage equipment where true damage penetrates through defense by hitting areas outside the armor’s protection.

It’s truly worthy of being called a cursed item.

Yet the reason why I, a veteran player, was desperate to buy bikini armor was because of the evasion rate.

<Cursed Bikini Armor (Non-Adult Version)>

Rank – Super Rare Level 5

Description – Bikini armor made for those under 19, non-adult specification, with an unremovable curse that prevents equipment removal once equipped.

Effect 1 – Automatically adjusts size to fit the wearer’s body. (Size Adjustment)

Effect 2 – Provides evasion rate and movement correction inversely proportional to the surface area of the bikini armor. (Current surface area 50%)

Effect 3 – Shame decreases and exposure adaptation increases proportionally to time wearing the bikini armor.

Effect 4 – This equipment automatically recovers when damaged.

Effect 5 – When attacks hit body parts not protected by the bikini armor, defense penetration damage is applied.

Appraisal Value – 20 gold coins, 2000 points

Among these, the equipment effect to pay attention to is Effect 2.

The evasion rate correction inversely proportional to surface area.

“Unlike the cursed bikini armor, bikini armor was originally a traditional southern equipment that gained popularity for its unexpectedly high performance despite its ridiculous appearance!”

“Huh. I had no idea. So this perverted trash armor has such origins and additional performance.”

“Moreover, did you know that if you wear bikini armor for more than 100 hours, the evasion rate increase effect activates even when you’re not wearing it?”

“I really didn’t know that!”

“I just wanted to give my friend that experience. So please sell me the bikini armor!”

Poyee felt her heart warming.

She had witnessed countless times women terrified of bikini armor corruption trying to sell it to their friends or sisters, ruining relationships.

But she swears this is the first time she’s witnessed someone with such pure intentions trying to give a “gift” for their friend’s success and growth.

A cursed item that makes people cry and destroys relationships.

It could also help someone grow.

Poyee wanted to test the possibility.

The possibility of spreading bikini armor with good intentions rather than evil ones.

The possibility of becoming a warrior everyone admires, rather than increasing the number of people in shameful attire like herself.

“This Morb kid, what’s her chest size?”

“Eh, probably no chest. AAA cup maybe?”

“Don’t tell me she’s a child like you?”

“No. She’s older than me. About 18?”

“That’s sad. Having no chest at that age. With that body type, bikini armor would be tough. But if we look, there should be bikini armor specifically developed to bring more shame to flat-chested people.”

“Wow, really?”

“When headquarters issues flat-chest bikini armor, I’ll bring it to you. Just make sure you have the payment ready, okay? I’ll charge 1000 points!”

“1000 points is a fair price. I’ll buy it!”

In the end, we parted after placing an order request.

I even gave her candy as a token of gratitude, so she’ll probably provide good service later.

I already feel good about this.

“That’s what happened.”

“What do you mean ‘that’s what happened’! You ended up doing nothing!”

“Shut up. Do you think I didn’t want to make that kid wear it? There was simply no opening. Be satisfied with making one of her friends wear it.”

Professor Layve pounded his chest with his fist in frustration at Poyee’s report.

“Then you should have made her wear one for training too!”

“Ah, I forgot.”

“You blockhead!”

“What can I do if I forgot? Anyway, I’m done here. So then~ Aah! My candy!”

“What did you do right that you’re trying to eat candy? Damn you. This is confiscated.”

“…Tch. The rumors about Imperial professors being thugs were true. Stealing candy just because the request didn’t go as planned.”

“This wouldn’t have happened if you had successfully completed your task. Complain if you want. I’ll expose your identity to everyone!”

“Fine. Just give me that stupid candy.”

Poyee left the professor’s office with slumped shoulders.

Professor Layve glared at her retreating figure, and once her presence disappeared, he looked away from the doorway.

‘The Wiheomhae Foundation’s top scholarship student. Indeed, not easy. To so skillfully deflect an attack from another evil organization’s member.’

She saw through the opposing organization’s purpose and quickly grasped Poyee’s motivation for bikini corruption.

The evidence was in the order request that would earn her organization contribution points whenever she made others wear bikini armor, gaining organizational support.

Making others wear bikini armor wasn’t everything—she even promised to pay the points that were the reason she accepted his request.

‘If she can earn both contribution points and regular points, there’s no reason to accept my request and fight a difficult enemy.’

As expected of the top scholarship student of the Wiheomhae Foundation, a cruel organization that plays with people’s hearts.

“Oknodie… next time you won’t get away so easily…”

The candy caught the professor’s eye as he suppressed his frustration.

“Hmph. She’s not even a child.”

Instead of eating the candy, the professor opened a cage and fed it to his pet lizard.

“It’s about time to start the next lecture.”

Layve left the office with his lecture materials.

In the pet case in the empty office.

The pet lizard, which had been banging its head against the case with clattering sounds, foamed at the mouth and collapsed.

It was the effect of the strengthened poison in Leaf’s specially prepared resistance training candy.
