✓cheap lodging and Prostitutes
I placed the bag of coins on the cheap lodging table full of holes.
(10..20..28, yes.) (Hikaru).
28 Small silver coins.
I tried my best to use all the copper coins, so I would say that I have about ten coins in different coin bags.
(i have to pay the cost of staying next week, and for food and everything else, I can barely manage my current speed, yes ..) (Hikaru)
It has been about 10 days since I came to this Dungeon City. I don't have any leeway at all when it comes to money.
I dove into the dungeon every day for the sake of my livelihood, but even though there were times when I came out with a profit, there were also times when I came in with no profit at all or minus. Average is a plus, but for jobs that have a hazard, returns are low.
I might sell the equipment of a dead explorer, but it's not like I find it all the time.
Most of them were from Spirit Stones that would be dropped there once in a while.
Maybe because the people who bought it from me came from the black market, I feel like they bought it cheaply, but how else.
I am still in a state where I cannot proactively interact with others.
(There is also the option to leave the inn and rent a room.) (Hikaru).
That method should be better in the long run.
This is a city of explorers. There should be an apartment for explorers.
But even if I actually rented one, I stayed at an inn now most likely helping me eliminate many additional steps.
For food, there were food carts as many times as needed, but there were also those who washed clothes, prepared hot water, and furniture.I might have to pay a security deposit first before I could rent a room.
Putting it as a goal sounds like an idea, but it sounds difficult in my current situation. Also, I have no reason to look for luxury.
"More importantly, I have to earn more ..." (Mari)
In the end, it's all about money.
I can't survive without money. Another story is that I can live independently, but I didn't choose that.
I decided to live in darkness.
“...Status.” (Mari)
When I said this, a half-transparent window like the one in the computer game appeared in front of me.
Since coming to this city, I have only checked the Status Board every few days.
Even though I want to forget the Earth.
…No, that's why I can't fight the urge to know if real-time audiences have diminished.
I can get various information from the Status Board.
A number of entries had increased since the moment the Otherworldly transfer began.
[Real Time Viewers: 42,000,000].
[Total Display: 6,280,000,000].
[Favorite: 1.460.000.000].
[Total Crystals Obtained: 49].
[Total Points Earned: 7].
[Total Voted: 723/1,000].
[Crystals owned: 21].
[Points owned: 5].
My audience has decreased quite a lot compared to before.
Even so, the number is still very high.
I've spent almost all my time in the dark for a few days, or if not, I'll just sleep in the inn. Nothing interesting happened.
…that's how it should be.
"Damn ..." (Mari)
There are still 40 million viewers.
Things like this even in real time. I achieved over 1 billion views even now on a constant basis.
It seemed like over 200 Chosen had died, so the attention gathered on those who were still alive had to increase because of this.
Just the act of survival alone increased the attention I gathered.
I closed the status window and sighed.
(Well, even with that, there are results. Let's do this slowly.) (Mari)
No matter how I live, I don't think my current lifestyle is okay.
but I could find nothing to proactively pursue life.
I don't want to use my points and crystals as much as possible.
I can also exchange points for cash, but I don't want to do that.
You could say this was a bit of a rebellious spirit towards the Gods that cornered me into this situation.
(i will sleep for today and think about the future tomorrow.) (Mari)
It might be a cheap inn, but private rooms are expensive.
There was the option of co-sleeping with others in a large, cheap room, but it was impossible for me.
There was a side that I was worried about in the eyes of others, and there was also a side of the room that was a large, rowdy gathering of people. I'd rather sleep outside than sleep in that big room.
Normally, the private rooms for explorers at my level are too fast. Besides, using your own personal space instead of your party is usually done by middle-ranked explorers, or you have to be a freak.
You could say this is my only luxury in this parallel world and my selfishness.
Even now, I still felt a gaze on me when I came out of the Dungeon.
I felt as if laughter was echoing from somewhere.
Even so, I still have to survive tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
I immerse myself in my bed.
Although the inn was cheap, it still had a comfortable bed.
The mattress is filled with a mixture of materials like cotton, like hair, like fur, and like straw.I feel like insects can come out anytime from here, but I put my trust in Poison Resistance and Disease Resistance, and decided not to worry about it.
(Let's wake up in the middle of the night and dive into the dungeon again.) (Hikaru).
I thought of this with my hazy thoughts, set the alarm, and closed my eyes.
Just when I was at the point where I was about to fall asleep, *ketok tok* the sound of knocking interrupted my sleep.
No one will come to see me
If anything, it would be an inn worker.
I've already paid in advance, so there shouldn't be any problems…
I squeezed out the power to pull away, and opened the creaking door.
“Yeah~.you're pretty funny. Are you alone?"
The one standing there was a red-haired woman in alluring red clothes that I could only call skinny.
Anybody like this working in the inn?
"I'm alone ..." (Mari)
"so. Then, you have a room to yourself? Hmmm.your body is also clean. Are you maybe a rich boy from a good family.?”.
The woman glared all over me as if analyzing me, or as if judging me.
And then, he took one step closer.
“How about that? You're a new customer last night, so I'm gonna make it cheap. ”
The woman bent her body seductively as she waited for my answer, but I couldn't even speak.
“Evening…? Make cheap...?”
"Right, if it was you .. I'm fine with 2 silver coins."
One more step.
He closed the distance with me and smiled bewitchingly.
The woman did not say clearly who she was, for what reason she was here, and what the 2 silver coins were for.
In other words, it was something he did not have to say out loud to understand.
She's gorgeous.
His hair that was unraveled from his back was slightly wavy, and his body under his thin clothes was different from that of a man, they were dazzling and plump to the point that my eyes ended up there.
I've never had a boyfriend before.
It was normal for first year High School students, but I had no female friends other than Nanami, and we had more sibling relationships.
My two sisters are 3 years adrift of me. Their brains are in a different dimension, but when at home, they are really naughty kids.
I wouldn't say that was the reason, but I lacked the experience to deal with a situation like this.
I can only flatly refuse it.
That was all I needed to do, however, I let out a pitiful 'ah ah' sound and became confused.
I never had a moment with a woman where I was so close that our noses might touch.
That's why, even when the woman grabbed my right wrist, I could only stand there letting her do what she wanted.
And then, he pushed my hand against his chest just like that…
“Ah! How's it? I'm pretty confident, you know? ”
"A uh…"
Like a bolt pierced through my body.
The tenderness I had never experienced before, on top of the warmth of someone I had not felt for a long time, shook my brain.
“Fufu...you have no experience, huh... Sweet once.”
With my hand still clinging to his chest, he approached with his body until we practically hugged.
His breath was sweeping my cheeks.
The warmth of a living human being I can feel with my whole body.
Most likely I was standing straight like a statue, my face was red like a tomato, and I definitely showed a pretty miserable sight.
Right, that's when I can clearly see myself calmly.
—Ahaha.
—Kyakky.
I heard laughter.
At the same time, I felt a piercing curious look.
People from all over the world are watching me.
How I - the man who killed his childhood friend - was on the verge of falling into the wiles of the Otherworldly prostitutes.
They're expecting.
1 billion viewers.
—How I was overcome by the temptation of prostitutes.
—How do I get all the silver coins from my wallet taken miserably.
—How can I be fascinated with ***********.
—How will I finish it in an instant and dry laugh with a red face.
"L-Delech!" (Mari)
“Kya!”
I suddenly pushed him away.
He fell on his ass out the door.
I felt bad about it and hesitated for a moment there, but I closed the door and locked the key.
“Hah?! You crazy bujang! ”
I heard the sound of the door being kicked along with insults, and then I heard the footsteps of the prostitute who left.
—Kuusukusu.
—Ahahaha.
The light leaking from the corridor had disappeared, and the room was now covered in darkness.
Someone's laughing at me.
They laugh, saying 'you act like a lone wolf, but you actually crave the warmth of others, huh'.
I craved it.
That's my true feeling.
I have no determination at all.
I'm 15 years old.
A student who hasn't even really thought about his future.
And here I am, in a parallel world where I know no one. There's no way I don't feel lonely.
“Uuh... Damn... Fuck...” (Hikaru).
I felt as if my true feelings that I was hiding in the darkness had been revealed, and I felt tears flowing.
Even this view of mine should be a pleasant moment for the viewers.
Even my crying face would be consumed as content.
The more I think about it, the more tears I shed.
“Guh... Why…? Stop... Damn it... Damn it..” (Hikaru).
I don't like this.
This feeling is mine alone.
There was no way that people who were just watching from the outside with guaranteed security would be able to understand this feeling. I did not want them to make a face as if they understood me.
Then, I'm fine with those who hold onto that misunderstanding.
I'd rather it than be understood. This is a few times better.
“...[Dark Mist].” (Mari)
My Spirit energy turned into a fog of darkness, and it covered my body.
The room where the light could not reach it was now covered in total darkness.
Inside the darkness was the only space where I could feel safe.
The darkness…
my complaint.
My tears.
My weakness.
Please cover them all.
