Chapter 15: Baby & Toddler Program (2)

• Yu Ayeon suddenly burst into tears.

“Sniff, sn… Eeeuuu… Suhyeon-ssiii…”

“Wh-What? Why are you crying all of a sudden?”

“Sniff, I, I… Sniiiifff…”

“Ogu ogu. Stop it, stop it. Why is a grown-up crying? Here. Come here.”

I hugged her as she sank to the ground and patted her back.

“You’re older and taller than me, but you’re a complete adult. A grown-up.”

“Sniff, sn… I’m s-sorry… I’m sorry… Waaaahhh…”

“No, well. There’s nothing to be sorry about…”

Yu Ayeon cried really sorrowfully.

It was as if the pain, suffering, injustice, and resentment that had accumulated over the years were flowing out as tears.

“It’s okay. It’s okay. Everything will be alright.”

I slowly stroked the back of her head and comforted her.

“Are you feeling a bit better?”

“Yes… Sniff. I’m sorry…”

“Hey. It’s okay. But why were you crying?”

“… I thought you’d be disappointed in me, Suhyeon-ssi.”

“Huh? Me? In Ayeon-ssi? Why?”

“… This kind of skill. Everyone hates it… Especially, men hate it more…”

I got the gist of it as I watched Yu Ayeon speak hesitantly.

The timid way of speaking and the insecure expression she’s had since I first saw her.

She must have been mistaken for a molester not only on the subway but also in her daily life.

Of course, the gazes of other people and those around her must not have been good either.

And to make matters worse, this is a gender-reversed world.

Men in this world hated even the touch of such big, beautiful breasts, showing strong aversion to it.

Yu Ayeon was a woman in a gender-reversed world.

If a woman in this world is unfairly mistaken for a molester every day…

‘Ugh…’

I didn’t even want to imagine it.

I couldn’t even begin to guess how much heartache Yu Ayeon had suffered.

It was a short encounter, but I know she’s not a bad person.

She is a kind and good person.

Besides, didn’t she support me with her whole body when I was blown away by the Ogre?

Thinking about it now, it was a very dangerous situation where she could have died.

She threw her body without hesitation for me.

If Yu Ayeon hadn’t cushioned me then, I would have been hit by the Ogre’s consecutive attacks and most likely died.

I owed her my life.

I wonder if there is a way to repay her.

‘Ah. Come to think of it…’

The 2D suggestive pictures that filled her phone gallery came to mind.

I smiled slightly and comforted Yu Ayeon.

“I don’t really care. It’s not like Ayeon-ssi did it on purpose with bad intentions, right?”

“Yes…”

“Then that’s it. It’s not like Ayeon-ssi wanted to awaken the skill and awakened it. Everyone is really too much.”
“Uuuuu… Suhyeon-ssiii…”

“Ah. Right. Can you take a picture of me with that skill? The pictures I saw earlier were so pretty.”

Yu Ayeon was startled.

Her tear-soaked eyes widened and her face instantly turned red.

“Yes?! Oh, no, that’s…”

“Why? Here. I’ll pose for you, so take a picture.”

I took a pose that would look somewhat sexy to a woman in the reversed world.

I spread my thighs and put my hands behind my body.

You might think it’s a comfortable posture at first glance, but men in this world even narrow their legs when sitting on the bus.

In a world where men and women are reversed, wouldn’t this pose be quite stimulating?

I looked up at her and checked her reaction.

Yu Ayeon covered her red face with her hands, but opened a gap between her fingers and glanced down at me.

Her face was so red that it was pointless to cover it, as even the back of her hands were red.

“Uh, uh… Wow… Oh, no… Th-That… I can’t use this skill as I please…”

Click! Click!

“Oh. It took a picture at just the right time. You seemed curious even though you pretended not to look?”

“Uh, uh, uh…!”

“Can you show me how it turned out?”

“Heueuu…”

Yu Ayeon made a deflated sound, as if she had seen the photo stored in her head.

I wonder how it turned out to make her react like that.

‘Still, the mood seems to have lightened a little.’

That’s a relief.

Because I also enjoyed being with Yu Ayeon.

I wanted her to smile happily rather than be sad.

I saw earlier that she seemed very interested in 2D.

I should open her eyes to 3D.

Of course, I don’t intend to pay off my life debt with just a single photo.

‘But this is all I can give for now.’

In a moderately relaxed atmosphere, we continued our conversation, and I brought up the video from earlier.

“Ah, right. That thing from earlier.”

“Oh, that thing from earlier…? Ugh…”

Yu Ayeon’s face turned red.

She seemed to be thinking of my sec-sy pose that was stored in her head a little while ago.

“… Not that picture, the video of me fighting the Ogre.”

“Oh, yes. Yes… Ogre… Yes…”

“How did that come out so. Like. Really realistically… Shashashak? Like that?”

The photos and videos Yu Ayeon takes with her photography skill.

The photos were amazing, but the videos were especially amazing.

4K quality and smooth movement.

An incredible sense of realism, as if you were at the scene where the video was being filmed.

The dynamism of seemingly filming from multiple angles while moving the camera, even though it wasn’t filmed with a drone or in a professional set.

The videos and photos taken with her skill contained a special quality that stimulated not only sight but also various senses.

“Umm… I don’t know the details either… It’s actually in the realm of instinct…”

“Hmm. I see.”

“Ah. But… I think it comes out a little better when I concentrate…! That’s why the picture earlier… Oh, no, never mind…”

It seemed that Yu Ayeon didn’t know the detailed principles of the skill either.

If this level of quality video comes out instinctively, maybe Yu Ayeon originally had a talent for video production.

Ah, speaking of videos, I suddenly remembered.

Park Hyena and Jo Hyeonchan. The iTubers who went through the Goblin Gate with me.

They had filmed me hunting goblins.

So, would there be a demand for this kind of video?

Without thinking much, I asked Yu Ayeon.

“Shall we. Upload this video to iTube?”

I left the hospital, looking at the sunset scenery.

I seem to have been unconscious for quite a long time.

It was the evening of the previous day when I evacuated to the shelter.

I was out for almost a whole day.

“Are you sure you’re okay to go already?”

“Yes. I’m fine now.”

I went through the discharge procedures.

I had been healed by a high-level healer, so I was completely healed without a single scar, so I didn’t feel the need to stay in the hospital any longer.

However, one thing was weighing on my mind.

‘Maybe I should have thought about it a little more.’

Yeom Haneul’s offer to join her party.

She probably offered to scout me because I showed strength comparable to an Ogre, even if only for a moment.

But that was the result of pouring everything into that brief moment of about 60 seconds.

Because I used all my mana without thinking about what would happen afterwards, with the intention of finishing it within a minute.

After my mana ran out, wasn’t I beaten like a dog by the Ogre?

I keenly felt it through this battle with the Ogre.

I was much weaker than I expected.

Mana Muscle, Cutie♡Angel, Sword Aura.

The three key elements of combat were unusable at my current level.

The Sword Ki and body strengthening that I used with the mana that trickled out of my core had a very short duration.

If there was a healer of that level in the party, it would be convenient for training and other activities…

‘There’s no need to think about it.’

Even if it’s temporary cooperation, I will not belong.

Until I find true happiness, my affiliation will not change.

And I will not forget her.

… That’s the princess’s last words.

I shook my head to shake off the distracting thoughts.

“Thank you so much for today. Ayeon-ssi.”

I held Yu Ayeon’s hands tightly with both hands and expressed my gratitude.

I heard that Yu Ayeon stayed by my side without sleeping while I was collapsed.

Because I know how blessed it is to have someone by your side when you’re sick.

I sent her my pure gratitude.

It hasn’t even been a full day since I’ve been with her, but so much has happened.

It seems that the distance between our hearts has become closer as well.

“Ehehe… It’s nothing… Suhyeon-ssi, please get home safely too…”

“Yes. Let’s meet up sometime and have a meal. Get home safely.”

“Yeeees…”

Yu Ayeon waved her hand, giving off a strange atmosphere of being both happy and depressed.

I thought she looked cute, like a puppy being sent away by its owner.

I took the subway home and dived onto my bed.

“Ughhh! Huuuuh… I feel alive now.”

I only went out for two days, but it feels like I’ve been out for weeks.

I rolled around on the bed for a while and suddenly felt like I had forgotten something, so I got up.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.

I heard a sound like thunder from my stomach.

Come to think of it, I haven’t eaten a single meal since clearing the Goblin Gate.

Once I realized it, I became more and more hungry.

But I was too lazy to go outside to eat something.

I thought about making something at home, but I realized that there were no suitable ingredients in the refrigerator.

In the end, I turned on the delivery app, my last resort.

After much deliberation about what to eat, I finally chose a menu.

‘Today is chicken.’

Not two-for-one chicken for cost-effectiveness, but one-by-one to truly savor the ‘taste’.

Ppuring Ppuring Ppuriring Chicken and Fried Chicken.

Ppuring Root Beer Sotteok as a side menu.

Total price: 40,000 won.

44,000 won including delivery fee.

It’s a price that makes you want to curse and grab the owner by the collar.

Just two days ago, it would have been like burning almost all my fortune on one meal.

But who am I now?

A wealthy man worth 630,000 won, looked up to by Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, and Bill Gates.

40,000 won is not a waste at all to me now.

After a long wait of 40 minutes, the delivery arrived.

“Delivery~”

“Yes!”

Like Pavlov’s dog, I ran to the front door and received the delivery.

Maybe it’s because it’s a gender-reversed world, but the delivery person was also a woman.

I sat down in front of the computer and set the table.

I placed the two chickens exuding a suggestive smell and opened the pickled radish.

I was about to take the cola out of the bag when I was surprised.

“This f*cking. Couca Cola?”

I was dumbfounded.

How can you run a chicken business without understanding the basic needs of consumers?

I immediately ran to the bathroom toilet and poured out all the Couca Cola.

And I took out the Dr. Pepper that I had carefully kept in my inventory.

Only after the unholy Couca Cola disappeared did the table become complete.

“Ready for s*x.”

First, the fried chicken drumstick.

I bring the chicken leg close to my nostril and smell it.

Sniff, Sniff.

Yeah. This savory and oily smell is what makes it chicken.

After enjoying the scent, I took a big bite and a crispy sound and juicy gravy came out.

I shook my hips and trembled.

This is it! This is it!

I quickly cleaned one chicken leg and took a sip of Dr. Pepper.

The greasy mouth was refreshingly washed away, and the popping carbonation and fragrant cherry scent filled the mouth.

“Kyaaaaaak! I’m so happyyyyyyy!”

If I die now, I wonder if I’ll make the news with a sensational headline like “Han Suhyeon. Age 20. Died from excessive orgasm during meal.”

As I continued my intense meal, my eyes became bored, so I turned on the computer and went to iTube.

It was no exaggeration to say that iTube was the most popular video platform used by people all over the world.

And on the main page of such iTube.
