Chapter 67: Throbbing in Various Ways!

“Virtual reality.”

“Game?”

Seyul and Vanessa echoed the unexpected suggestion in turn.

Both seemed quite taken aback.

They couldn’t have imagined Semi would make such a proposal.

“Virtual reality games, you see…”

Assuming Vanessa, being a resident of a fantasy world, wouldn’t know, Semi cautiously tried to explain, but

“I know.”

Vanessa refused the explanation, sounding displeased.

“Do you think I’m some kind of caveman? Sure, my homeland itself isn’t very technologically advanced, but I’ve lived for a long time and traveled to many worlds.”

“Many worlds?”

“For someone like me, going to other worlds is nothing. Some of them were worlds where humans had already advanced into space and were waging wars. Do you think I wouldn’t know about virtual reality?”

Even if that weren’t the case, Vanessa had been on Earth for quite some time.

Having stayed for an extended period while searching for Seyul, she had already encountered virtual reality games.

It was Seyul who was less familiar.

“Can we compete with each other using that?”

Seyul asked, tilting his head.

Having only recently started playing virtual reality games, he had no idea how to compete using them.

“Do you give Vanessa and me the same game and then compare who gets a higher score? But that doesn’t feel like a real competition.”

“It’s okay. Beyond just playing the same game, there’s a way for both of you to face each other within the same game.”

Semi held up two fingers towards her brother.

“There are many two-player games. Wouldn’t it work if you two played one of those together and competed?”

“But we can’t use our abilities in the game.”

“Your skills are still there, right? It’ll be fair since you’ll both be competing with your skills. And like I said before, you don’t have to cause this kind of damage by doing something in a game.”

Semi pointed to the mess the two had made while fighting.

“Don’t you both feel anything looking at this? If you keep causing damage like this every time you fight, there won’t be anything left.”

Seyul, and even Vanessa, fell silent.

Semi’s words were undeniably correct.

‘Come to think of it, I’ve been scolded for this kind of thing more than once in other worlds.’

His ex-girlfriend.

Seyul thought of ‘her.’

She, too, had told them not to destroy the environment, just like Semi.

It was a valid lecture, as this kind of thing had actually caused problems before.

Perhaps that’s why…

“I don’t mind.”

Surprisingly, Vanessa was the first to accept the proposal.

Seyul looked at her with a surprised expression.

“What’s this? You’re accepting something like this so readily? The sun must be rising in the west.”

“I can’t help it if what your sister is saying is common sense. I don’t want to unnecessarily damage other worlds either.”

However, there was a condition.

Vanessa stared at Semi with sharp eyes that wouldn’t tolerate lies.

“But the condition is that it has to be fair, as you said. You can’t give Seyul good items or use cheats. And you can’t make him play a game he’s already played before.”

“My brother hasn’t played many games in the first place. And of course, the conditions will be fair… Is that all?”

Vanessa nodded.

“If you keep what I asked for, you can do whatever else you want. You can even choose the game yourself. I don’t really know what games are out there.”

“Yes, I understand…”

Semi said she understood, but she had a thoughtful expression on her face.

“Then I’ll give you a day, so have it ready by tomorrow. I can’t wait any longer than that.”

Vanessa gave a specific deadline and then gave Seyul a strange smile.

“You want to beat me quickly and hear what you’re curious about, so tomorrow will be good, right?”

“…Yeah.”

“Good. You’ve agreed to this, so don’t go back on your word later.”

After firmly getting Seyul’s promise.

“Now, give me your home address.”

She then demanded his home address.

Seyul’s expression soured at the request for sensitive personal information.

“What are you going to use our address for?”

“I need to know the address to find your place. Hurry up and give it to me.”

“Tch! Take this.”

Seyul took out an item from his subspace and threw it to Vanessa.

Vanessa frowned as she received the small card.

“There’s a picture of a man on it. Who is this man?”

“That’s me. It’s my resident registration card, but I can’t update it with my current appearance, so I’m still using the old one.”

“So this is what you looked like before you became a woman? …Hmph, not too bad.”

Vanessa grumbled but carefully put Seyul’s resident registration card in her pocket.

“I can find your place with this, right?”

“Yeah. If you still can’t find it, look for Semi at the Hunter Branch.”

“Okay. Then I’ll be going now.”

After roughly finishing the conversation, Vanessa flew into the sky and disappeared.

‘Should we head back too?’

Now that Vanessa was gone, it was Seyul’s group’s turn.

They waited for a while, but there was no villain attack or anything.

They could safely return home.

“Semi, Haeri. Let’s go.”

As he told the two to return, Haeri raised his hand with a troubled expression.

“Um, Seyul? My car over there is covered in sand because you moved it to the desert.”

“Then wash it.”

“….”

“Just kidding.”

Seyul quickly changed his words when he saw the other person’s expression souring after his careless remark.

Since it was his fault that the car was moved to the desert, he cleaned it up with magic.

Then, Seyul opened a dimensional portal.

He sent Haeri near his house and moved himself and Semi near their house as well.

“Brother, wait a minute!”

Semi didn’t go straight home and asked for understanding.

It wasn’t to report this incident to the Hunter Branch as a hunter…

It was important to inform the Korean Hunter Branch that the situation was over, but.

There was something more important to do now.

“I’m going to buy a useful game for tomorrow right away.”

“Now?”

“There’s no harm in hurrying.”

Semi had just seen how strong Vanessa was.

She couldn’t even imagine treating her request carelessly.

She also had an ulterior motive.

‘I need to go quickly and find a game that’s advantageous for my brother!’

From Semi’s perspective, both of them were overwhelmingly strong, so she didn’t really know, but.

Judging from the way they talked, she knew they were evenly matched.

That meant Seyul could lose.

‘If my brother loses, getting information will be all for nothing.’

Things about the monster or his girlfriend.

These were things Semi was also curious about.

So Semi was planning to help her brother win so he could get information.

‘I can’t give him good items or use cheats. And he can’t play a game he’s already played. But I can choose whatever else I want, right?’

If so, what to choose was simple.

‘Water! A game where the main stage is a place full of water, like the sea or a lake.’

A home ground for Seyul and a disadvantageous place for Vanessa, who controls fire.

She had to choose a game with a lot of water.

‘Not this, and not this either!’

However, there weren’t many such games.

And even the ones that existed didn’t support two players.

Semi was choosing a game that met the conditions and finally found one.

“Fighter Girls Side Story: Heart-Pounding Swimsuit Melee?”

A skin-filled cover with girls in swimsuits decorating it.

It was hard to tell if this was a game or a pornographic video cover.

The next day.

“Ah, she’s here.”

Seyul, who was eating dried squid dipped in gochujang in the living room, suddenly spoke.

He hurried to the front door and opened it to find the person he was waiting for standing there.

“I’m here.”

A red-haired beauty said primly.

It was the Dragon Queen, Vanessa.

She had said she would come yesterday, and she came to his house as promised.

She was quite dressed up.

A sleeveless dress full of frills, fancy red shoes, etc.

She had come dressed quite stylishly, and Seyul found her appearance strange.

“What’s this? You’re wearing normal clothes.”

“…Is that all you have to say?”

“Yeah. You told me yesterday not to wear clothes made with my abilities, but you’re doing this, so it’s amazing.”

Vanessa looked at Seyul with a dumbfounded expression for a moment.

“Whatever. Let’s just play the game.”

She immediately sighed and grumbled as she came in.

As Vanessa entered the house with Seyul, someone immediately ran towards them like lightning.

“You’re here!”

It was none other than Semi.

She had been waiting for Vanessa with a nervous heart.

Now that the dangerous person she had been waiting for had arrived, she acted in a way that wouldn’t offend her as much as possible.

“Welcome. I’ll welcome you. Would you like some tea?”

“Thanks for the thought, but I want to settle things with him in the game quickly. Where’s the game console?”

“H-here it is.”

With a face full of nervousness, she took something out of the room.

One was the console Seyul used.

The other was a new console she had hurriedly prepared yesterday.

“If you two wear these and connect them with this cable, you can play the game together.”

“Is that so? Then what game is it?”

“Heart-Pounding Swimsuit Melee.”

“What?”

“Heart-Pounding Swimsuit Melee.”

Vanessa’s expression became strange at the repeated words, and so did Seyul’s.

He had deliberately not checked the game yesterday for fair conditions, but it turned out to be a bizarre game.

He questioned his sister in a flustered manner.

“What is that?”

“It’s a side story of a popular game featuring female fighters. Female fighters wearing swimsuits fight on the beach, and the player joins in and fights with them.”

“Why did you bring such a game?”

“Both you and Vanessa are very beautiful. It would be very fantastic to fight in swimsuits on the beach.”

Semi made excuses, even wondering what she was saying herself.

She couldn’t openly say that she bought it because this was the only game that was advantageous for her brother.

Honestly, she knew it was a stretch.

So she was worried that the two might get angry.

“Well, okay.”

Vanessa surprisingly agreed readily.

“If it’s a game that’s mainly about fighting, it’s simple, so I like it.”

Vanessa placed more importance on the fact that it was a fighting game than the swimsuits.

“Not only Vanessa but all the female characters are in swimsuits… A swimsuit melee on the beach?”

Seyul was especially emphasizing swimsuits and getting into it.

Neither of them had a bad reaction.

In the end, they both agreed to play Heart-Pounding Swimsuit Melee.

They each put the devices on their heads, and Semi watched with a stiff expression.

But there was one thing Semi had forgotten.

That was that she hadn’t turned off the broadcast.

Vanessa’s appearance, etc.

So many embarrassing things had happened that she had forgotten about the viewers.

And she had forgotten to turn off the automatic broadcast set on Seyul’s device.

The game started with the most important thing forgotten.
