EP.101 Maranotica! Comforting My Wife♪
I felt tense.
I didn't know what that woman would do in this situation.
The timing really sucks.
Coming when I'm exhausted.
I can't guarantee the result even if I fight at full specs.
If I have to fight?
'I'll fight prepared to die!'
But my sensitivity was higher than usual.
Maybe because I killed strong enemies one after another.
Rather, in one corner of my heart.
I hoped a fight would break out.
"Fufu♥"
Baltane, who was looking at me for a moment, smiled strangely.
She was still a bewitching woman.
"What are you looking at? Someone might think you're trying to eat me."
"Why did you come?"
"Hmm, by the way this place is really pretty. A rooftop pool is such a dream! Heuit♥"
"Hey..."
"Oh my, there's even a refrigerator? Amazing!"
I just watched.
I was also curious how far she would pretend to be casual.
Above all, I was curious why this woman bothered to come here.
Is she really trying to settle things? Or reverse rape like last time?
Baltane, who was looking down at the refrigerator, turned around slightly.
When our eyes met, her eyes curved into arcs.
Just as I thought she might do something, suddenly a sword appeared.
It was a sword that looked like it could have been used in Joseon. It was glowing darkly.
Baltane took it and threw it to me.
I caught it reflexively and looked at its specs.
[Heterogeneous Iris Sword]
Rarity: Unique
*Unique Persistent Effect 'Transcendence': Your existence rank rises, becoming immune to instant death/erosion/degeneration.
*Unique Persistent Effect 'Annihilation': Targets killed are annihilated.
*Unique Persistent Effect 'Vassalization': If you revive the dead, you dominate their mind.
"The annihilation of souls shall begin! Come, lowly vassals! -A high priest of some outer god"
It was amazing.
A unique grade? Why give this to me?
"What's this?"
"Reward from the last game. It came to me?"
"Ah, come to think of it..."
"It's for you to keep. I came to give it to you."
Baltane spoke nonchalantly as if she really had no thoughts.
I scratched my cheek without realizing.
Damn, I was unnecessarily self-conscious.
"By the way, living in such a nice place must make you happy every day?"
"Not particularly?"
I glared at Baltane.
My emotions were strange every time I saw this woman.
It was hard to express in one word. I didn't want to express it either.
'Is it hatred? Or love-hate?'
If she had been human.
If she had been by my side as a human.
Wouldn't she have been pregnant like Ivy?
But I shook my head.
It was a meaningless assumption.
It wouldn't happen in any parallel world.
Baltane dipped her foot in the pool with her hands behind her back.
Then she moved her wings.
"It seemed like it would start soon? The game."
"How do you know that?"
"A hunch. You call it intuition, right?"
"...I see."
"I wish you luck. It seems there will be an amazing event this time. Ah, and."
Baltane floated up lightly.
Floating in the air, she gave a cold smile.
"You have something interesting?"
"...What?"
What is she talking about.
Having something interesting.
Baltane's eyes swept around this area.
Like a hawk eyeing its prey.
"Keep playing with that. Interesting things will happen. Well then, goodbye♥"
"Hey, wait!"
I don't know what she was talking about. But she had already left.
Her flying speed was transcendent.
Could it be about our child?
She really just came to ruin my mood for no reason.
I exhaled and was grateful nothing happened. It's good if it's good.
I went to find Ivy.
She had just put the baby to sleep.
"Husband, you're here?"
"How is it?"
"Narin is fine. But she seems to be growing really fast. Am I imagining it?"
"You're not imagining it. Anyway, you should rest."
"I know without you saying!"
"By the way, Narin is quiet."
My eyes kept going to Narin sleeping soundly in the cradle.
Ivy sighed.
"She's like that after crying all day. I guess even babies get tired."
"I suppose so."
"But my husband wasn't by my side."
"W-well, I think I was here often! Ahem, sorry."
"Fufu, anyway!"
I took Ivy to the bed and laid her down.
She must have had a hard day today too.
Is it fortunate the baby is growing early at least? Whining and crying all day.
Raising a child wasn't easy.
Ivy grabbed my arm.
"Don't go to your room, stay with me."
"Of course, darling."
So I lay down next to Ivy.
It was warm like my place.
I felt her body temperature while embracing her. I waited for a moment.
'The next game, I'll definitely clear it! I'll survive!'
I fell asleep after making that resolution.
***
The next day.
As it was approaching 11 o'clock, I bought abalone porridge from a reopened porridge shop and fed it to Ivy.
It was fortunate she was eating well at least.
They say health deteriorates a lot after giving birth.
"Ah, I'm telling you I'm fine. The baby is growing well, and I'm in great shape!"
"Still, you never know what might happen. Eat up."
Ivy made a crying face at my words.
"Hiing, I want to eat braised burdock root and kimchi stew!"
"You've really become Korean."
"Heheh♥"
Ivy who was smiling brightly blushed for a moment.
"Hmm!"
She lightly kissed my cheek.
Then I should return the favor.
I held her face and kissed her.
"Jjeup!"
"Hmmng, chuup♥ eumup♥"
I inserted my tongue deeply and gently scratched her tongue then pressed it down.
Ivy didn't back down and lifted hers, wrapping around mine like a snake.
We busily tasted and shared each other's saliva.
We ended it as our breathing got rough.
Ivy was still shy.
Somehow she seemed more embarrassed than when we first had sex.
"They say men lose all attraction to women after they give birth."
"Really? Those guys never had love to begin with. I'm different!"
"Really?"
"Yeah, Ivy still looks the prettiest to me. And lewd."
Ivy smiled broadly. I felt happy just looking at her.
"Fufu, you're hopeless. My husband♥"
"Eat your porridge!"
I watched Ivy's expression brighten as she ate the porridge.
I really let out a sigh of relief.
I lightly stretched after watching her finish her meal.
Today's task was to interview the people on the list Jong-mi handed over.
This is quite a job too.
But then a vibration came in the air.
"League Chapter Game ④"
◆Random Adventure App Maranotica!
-Objective: □Clear object by reaching specific location
-Reward: 50000 DP, 2x affection of currently related people
-Failure: Death
"Ikhyun!"
"Yeah, it's the next game."
It was a new main quest.
This time the name is familiar somehow.
Ivy tilted her head looking at the air.
"Maranotica? Could that be the app I know?"
"The one that marks weird coordinates and makes you go on adventures?"
"Yeah! The paranormal app!"
"Though we never actually saw any paranormal phenomena."
"Ikhyun, you know it well?"
"I went into the mountains a few times to exercise before going to the military. I used that app along with it. It was just okay."
"Hehe, cute!"
Ivy tilted her head and smiled broadly. She was fucking pretty.
I scratched my head.
Ivy got up and tried to change clothes. Ooh, is full power Ivy coming out!
"Let's get ready!"
"Okay."
I slipped out of the room.
I had something to ask.
"Star."
"Nice to meet you!"
As expected, you pop out right away.
"This game, what is it? For now today..."
"No, I can't answer!"
"Huh? Why. Should I give you two artifacts?"
I always had bribes prepared to give to Star.
But Star's expression was strange.
A somewhat troubled face.
It was the face of someone who ate something thinking it was a pancake but realized it was vomit.
Could it be that Celestial Horse Demon tried to silence her?
"Um, that's not it..."
"What is it?"
"Haah, you'll see when you look but there's not much to answer."
"Not much?"
"It's as it appears. The game will start in 20 minutes, and like last time a minimap will appear in a corner of your vision."
"Oho."
"If a destination is marked there, you just need to go there."
It was strange.
It sounds simple at first glance.
"Is that all?"
"Of course you'll have to repeat that a few times. But there must be a clear purpose. Like finding treasure or killing someone."
"Is it like a dungeon raid?"
"This time 2-person teams are possible, so if you choose that the destination becomes one. But if you don't clear it after reaching the destination, you die."
"Hmm, I see."
"I'm busy with personal matters now, so I'll be going!"
Star disappeared in an instant.
I don't know what her personal matters are.
I smirked as I passed by.
Still, it was good to know things I wouldn't have known.
[Game will start in 15 minutes!]
[Displaying specific coordinates for pre-check!]
As Star said, a minimap appeared.
Coordinates were marked somewhere.
'This time it's a blue mark? I wonder how places with seas or lakes will be marked?'
When I went back into the room, Ivy was dressed in a suit like an office lady.
I was surprised at how well it suited her.
"Husband, did you see? Looks like I have to go here!"
"Want to go together?"
"Oh, is that okay? Our destinations are different though."
"That Star kid said 2-person teams are possible too."
Ivy's eyes widened.
She probably didn't expect this.
Actually, I didn't expect it either.
So it's even more fresh.
"Hehe, then we clear it together?"
"Yeah, we do everything together!"
"Great! I was so frustrated I couldn't do it with you last time during the bodyguard thing!"
"Alright, let's do it together!"
Ivy went to Narin sleeping in the cradle for a moment.
She stroked Narin's head who was sleeping soundly without making a sound.
"Narin, stay here for a bit. Mommy will be back with Daddy soon!"
How can she be so lovely.
I tried to leave holding her hand.
Then the coordinates marked on the minimap disappeared.
Soon new coordinates appeared.
Oh, this is really amazing too.
If we decided to go together, the coordinates can be reset.
But the place marked by the coordinates was strange.
"Huh?"
"Hmm?!"
We were surprised at the same time and looked, then swallowed dryly.
It was close to here, but an unfamiliar library we had never been to.
Ivy scratched her cheek, seemingly unsure.
"Ah, now that it's happening I'm a bit nervous?"
"Are you tense?"
"Yeah."
"Then since we still have time. Shall we enjoy an intermission to relieve tension?"
"What do you mean?"
I led her to my room.
