“I’m going.”

After putting Kara down on the bed, Belita tried to leave the room. I bowed my head to her.

“Thank you.”

Belita waved her hand without looking back. I closed the door after she left the room. He approached Seris and took off her mask.

“Hmm…”

Cerise talked in her sleep. He laughed and covered me with a blanket.

“Sleep well.”

I whispered softly and got up. Seris grabbed my wrist.

“Seris?”

“…Where are you going?”

Cerise looked up at me and said. His expression looked like that of a puppy that had lost its owner.

‘Why are you doing this?’

First, I stroked her head to calm her down. Cerise closed her eyes and felt my touch.

“I should also go to my room and rest. So, can you please let me go?”

The relaxed face changed into an anxious expression again. Her hand holding my wrist tightened.

“Don’t go…”

“Huh? Hundreds of millions…?!”

Cerise pulled me. I was dragged in because she was stronger than me. I suddenly ended up in a position to attack her.

Seris, completely disheveled, looked up at me.

Eyes like jewels. I stared blankly.

‘this…’

I shook my head and came to my senses.

“Seris What is this…”

“Don’t go. It’s here…”

Seris said in an earnest voice. She moved her hand and caressed my cheek. It was warm and soft, but a little rough.

I gritted my teeth. If you don’t come to your senses, you’ll just be possessed.

“Okay. I won’t go.”

I lay down next to Seris. We lay down and looked at each other.

Seris laughed bitterly.

My heart was pounding loudly. I calmed down and said it was because I was drunk.

“Seris.”

“Yes.”

“Can you please leave this for me? It’s uncomfortable.”

I pointed to the wrist that was being held.

“No.”

She was adamant.

“If you let go, you will abandon me.”

“Throwing it away. Why would I abandon you?”

“Lies.”

“It’s not a lie.”

“It’s a lie. My mother was like that too. He passed away after saying he would stay with me.”

Seris spoke calmly. That’s why it became more solemn. I naturally lowered my head.

Cerise’s cleavage was visible. I stared blankly for about 3 seconds.

‘What the fuck…!’

I finally came to my senses and raised my gaze…

Seris was staring at me.

ruined.

No matter how dull she was, she would have noticed my gaze just now. Because it was that blatant.

Seris hates men’s lustful gaze. That’s why I’ve been so careful until now. One moment of mistake ruined it.

I desperately thought of an excuse. What should I say? What should I say to make her understand?

“Mr. Yoosung.”

Her lips opened.

“Do you like breasts too, Yoosung?”

…what?

I was dumbfounded by the unexpected words. Whether I did it or not, Cerise continued.

“I heard that men like women’s breasts the most? Even the village boys were looking at me a lot…”

Seris grabbed her chest with her right hand. I started to touch it.

“Se, Seris?”

“What is so good about this lump of flesh? It’s just heavy…”

A sudden fall, a sudden fall

I looked at her face, holding back my gaze from going to her chest. I made eye contact with Cerise.

“…Do you like Yoosung too? Breasts?”

Cerise asked again.

I was hoping to just move on, but she doesn’t seem to have any intention of doing so. I had no choice but to answer.

“Uh… I like it…”

“Then…”

She stopped shaking her hands. She said while cupping her breasts.

“Do you want to touch it..?”

My mind became dizzy.

* * *

“Mr. Yoosung… Mr. Yoosung…”

I woke up to the sound of someone calling me. I lifted my heavy eyelids. Cerise was shaking my body to wake me up.

“Yuseong… Ah, you’re awake.”

I got up. The place I was lying in was Seris’ room, not my room. I was lying on the floor.

‘what.’

I grabbed my pounding head. I remembered last night.

“…”

My mind became dizzy again.

I raised my head and looked at Seris. She tilted her head.

“Mr. Yoosung?”

Cerise seems to have no memory of last night.

‘Well, because I was very drunk.’

Although it was a little disappointing, I felt fortunate.

“Sorry, there was no one to lock the door when I left. So I slept on the floor. I’ll just go back to my room.”

I went back to my room.

* * *

Seris looked at the back of Yoosung leaving the room. Only after he left did she trudge to her bed.

I hit my head on the bed.

‘Aaaah!!!!

I couldn’t scream because Kara was sleeping. I screamed in my heart.

‘What on earth have you done?!’

Although she pretended not to, Seris actually had vivid memories of last night. A memory of my heart pounding in front of a shooting star. She wanted to die.

‘it’s crazy! it’s crazy! it’s crazy!!!’

She hit her head on the bed. I couldn’t do it anywhere else for fear of getting sick.

‘Does Yoosung remember too? No, judging from your reaction earlier, it didn’t seem like you remembered. But what if you’re hiding it like me…?’

“Ugh…”

Cerise buried her face in the bed and moaned.

‘If it weren’t for Kara, I wouldn’t have done it…’

It was when Cerise seduced me by touching my breasts, and Yoosung began to shake. Kara waved her arms and talked in her sleep.

Thanks to this, the atmosphere was broken and I was able to not go any further than that.

‘If it wasn’t for Kara, with Yoosung…’

A line may have been crossed. Thank goodness… she thought to herself and tilted her head as a thought suddenly occurred to her.

‘If we cross the line with Yoosung… won’t we become real family?’

Cerys thought for a moment that everything was okay, but then she put her head down on the bed. Her ears gradually turned red.

“Sister, why are you like this this morning…”

Kara stood up, rubbing her eyes at Seris’ behavior.

“I’m sorry. It was noisy from the morning, right? That won’t happen anymore, so sleep more.”

“I woke up…”

Kara looked at Seris. Then I grabbed my sister’s breasts.

“Kya?! Ka, Kara, what are you doing now..?!”

I massaged it a few times and then let it go. Kara also massaged her own breasts.

“A little small…”

Kara became sullen and took the wooden sword and left the room. Seris stared blankly at the door Kara left.

In “…?”

Remaining Karma: 178

To purchase ‘Danga’s Dagger Art’, 200 Karma is required. 22 Karma was not enough.

“I should have just caught five more kobolds.”

Feeling disappointed, I headed to the adventurer’s guild. It was to find a decent job. Cerys and Kara didn’t come. Because there’s nothing special to do even if you come.

I looked around the request board.

There were a variety of requests, such as gathering herbs, subduing goblin dens, guarding the upper level, hunting cockatrices, etc.

‘Why don’t subjugation requests seem to be decreasing?’

Even though quite a few adventurers accepted the subjugation request.

‘How messed up the world is…’

After all, it is dangerous outside the city.

I summarized the requests we could do.

‘Subdue goblins, subdue kobolds… these are the only things.’

Cockatrice hunting is too much for us to handle, and slime catching doesn’t give you karma.

I had no choice but to pick up the goblin subjugation request form. This is because I have become somewhat accustomed to goblins. But another request caught my eye.

“Recruiting bandit suppression team?”

The plan was to gather people to subdue bandits near the crossroads of Oreum Valley. It says to ask the receptionist for details. I took the request form and walked to Orr.

“Ah! Hello Mr. Yusung Han. What brought you here today?”

“I came to take a request. This caught my eye.”

“Yes? Are you planning on accepting a request today? I heard you worked really hard yesterday too… How about taking a day off?”

Orr spoke in a worried tone. I smiled and answered.

“Thank you for your concern. Still, my physical condition is not that bad.”

“Hmm… But I can’t help but be worried. It’s not the first time I’ve seen an adventurer die while using their body carelessly… Do you really need to take a break, even if it means later?”

“I’ll keep that in mind. Could you please explain this more?”

“Yes. Let’s see…”

Orr read the request form I gave him. His eyes rolled back a few times and he nodded, saying, ‘Ah, this.’

“Do you know the Raynald family, Mr. Han Yu-seong?”

“The Raynald family? This is my first time hearing it…”

“I see. Well, let me explain briefly. The Raynald family is one of the top three merchant families on the continent.”

Orr’s explanation continued.

It is said that the Raynald family was originally a merchant family, not a noble family. However, with his family’s wealth, he bought the title of baron of the empire.

I was a little surprised at that part too.

This is because even a poor person like me knows about the empire with 500 years of history.

“The Raynald family also trades with Kalita. But a problem occurred about a month ago. Bandits appeared in the Oreum Valley, which is on the way from Baron Raynald to Kalita!”

Or said, widening his eyes. I think he was trying to emphasize it in his own way, but it was just crazy.

“Bandits were an obstacle to commercial travel. However, the trade route could not be changed because of bandits. That’s why we asked our guild.”

After finishing her explanation, she straightened her back. I guess I’m proud of how well I explained it.

However, I had some doubts.

“I didn’t know that bandits existed… How do they live in the mountains?”

It’s a crazy world where goblins collect protection taxes from villages. It was hard to believe that something like bandits existed in such a world.

“Because there are strong people even among the bandits. For example… the Red Hooded Bandits. The executives there said they were as good as knights.”

“Yes? Why would someone like that do something like stealing…”

“You are addicted to stimulating life such as murder, looting, and rape. They are crazy perverts. I recommend not interacting with each other.”

Orr shook his head with a chewed expression on his face.

I asked one last question.

“Why did the Raynald family request the guild? Aren’t they able to subdue bandits on their own?”

“Haha, of course…”

She looked around and motioned to me. I approached her and she whispered in my ear.

“That’s because our lives are cheaper..!”

I thought so.

Damn capitalism.

* * *

“Hmm? Here we go again. What’s the reason this time?”

Blacksmith Marlton grinned at me. It’s worth it because I’m his only source of money.

“Because of repairs.”

I handed over the equipment of me and sister Seris. It was very damaged due to a dog fight with a kobold.

“Hmm… It’s more broken than I thought. It will take some time. Would you like to wait? Or will you come get it later?”

“I’ll be waiting.”

“I understand. The repair cost is 2 silver.”

I handed Marlton 2 silver. I sat on a chair and waited for the repairs to be completed.

‘Once the repairs are done, I’ll go buy some groceries. After that, buy some herbs and bandages.’

It was preparation for the suppression of bandits three days later.

The Oreum Valley crossroads was two days away from Kalita. Even if they arrive at their destination, it will take about three days to complete the subjugation. We have to search the mountain thoroughly.

Thanks to this, I was able to leave the city for about a week.

At first glance, it may seem like it is not good value for money, but in reality, it is not.

’10 copper per day plus 10 copper per bandit head.’

The karma you get from killing bandits is a bonus. Because of this, I have no choice but to accept this request.

‘The punitive force is leaving in three days, so I’ll go to the abandoned castle for a while tomorrow.’

I wanted to learn the ‘Dang family’s dagger technique’ before the bandit suppression began.

* * *

“Squeak, squeak!!”

There is one goblin left. I threw the crude spear I had just picked up. The guy tried to avoid it, but the spear stuck in his leg.

-Good, good! Save me…

I pulled out my spear and stabbed it in the guy’s heart. The goblin’s limbs trembled and went limp.

[2 Karma has been obtained.]

“I finally got it right…”

Thanks to coming to the abandoned castle alone, I gained 22 karma in one day. Although I worked hard from morning until dusk.

‘If I go fast, I wonder if I can make it on time.’

The gates are closed at night. To enter the city, you must sleep outside the castle until the next morning.

‘I’ll think about that later.’

I opened the store window and purchased ‘Dangga Dandosul’.

[You have purchased ‘Dangga’s dagger liquor.’]

[‘Dangga’s dagger technique’ is registered in the status window.]

[The ‘Dang family’s dagger technique’ is taught to Han Yu-seong.]

“Ugh…”

Along with the headache, new knowledge flooded into my mind.
