〈 Chapter 739 〉 Part 2, Chapter 6, 03
One thing’s for sure—I’m not the player in this game. I’ve had my fair share of playtime already. If anything, I was the one who left the game untouched, collecting dust, and it wasn’t me who brought it back out.
Chang-yeom and Shin-ra decided to start playing and took on the role of players.
Why did Shin-ra insist on playing the original game?
Well, it wasn’t just because she wanted to play with me—it was because she couldn’t stand the idea of being denied intimacy with women.
– “If I can’t get close to a woman, at least let me have some fun with a man.”
She wants a woman!
She craves intimacy with a woman!
Even if she can’t be with a woman, she longs to experience *something* intimate!
– “Being taken is nice, but I want to take too, you know?”
Chang-yeom is intense.
Shin-ra is no different.
– “That doesn’t mean I can just take you, though.”
– “Ah…if you were willing to give yourself to me, that would be wonderful…”
– “Let’s just play the game.”
To protect my virtue, I sold off the heroines within the game.
– “Do you really crave that much?”
– “If I can’t have that, then I’ll quit strawberries altogether. This time, I’m serious.”
Shin-ra was deadly serious.
She even wagered her love for strawberries as she sincerely challenged me.
“Please let me experience intimacy—even if it’s just in the game!”
“It’s impossible. But instead, I’ll let you hold and embrace women freely within the game.”
Since she couldn’t achieve it in reality, she yearned for it in a virtual space. And there just happened to be an appropriate game—a game called *Death Dinus under the Blue Sky.*
– “Go ahead, Shin-ra. Use Baek Cheonghwa’s body to charm all the heroines into moaning. But I’ll keep an eye on you to make sure you’re not getting too carried away.”
– “Nice! Thank you! As a token of appreciation, why don’t you eat me up like before?”
– “…Who are you talking about?”
– “Who? Your ex-girlfriend—”
Crunch, crunch.
And so, I gave her permission.
Our conflicts always resolved themselves atop the bed, and the direction of resolution was determined by whoever triumphed there.
Thus, Shin-ra earned the right to play as Baek Cheonghwa.
“I’ve had my fill of enjoyment anyway.”
After all, in the game world, I’d already rolled around with Yuna over ten thousand times, and it didn’t bother me when Chang-yeom played as Baek Cheonghwa either.
If Shin-ra were to ever become a woman and get intimate with another man, I’d strongly oppose it—but since that wasn’t the case, I didn’t give it much thought.
Which left us in quite a predicament.
DLC 2.1: *Lang Eok Cheon Hwa.*
Day and night, the roles of men and women switch.
So now, who should play, and how?
“Let’s split it down the middle.”
Shin-ra proposed a deal to me.
“You play as the male characters, and I’ll play as the female ones. That way, it’s clean-cut, right?”
“That does make sense.”
Men play male characters; women play female ones. Shin-ra chose the orthodox approach.
There would be no confusion regarding gender identity, allowing each of us to fully commit to our respective roles while enjoying the game.
That is, assuming this was purely about conquering the monsters in a simulation RPG designed to train heroes.
“Shin-ra.”
“Yes?”
“To be honest, I don’t want you getting too cozy with the heroines.”
“…”
And that was the problem.
It’s fine if Shin-ra takes on a male role and dominates others. After all, it’s just a game, not real life.
“Isn’t your interaction with the heroines also just part of the game?”
“I fear you might dive back into百合 (yuri).”
“Why would that scare you?”
“In case you try to influence me.”
In my dreams, I gradually succumbed to Shin-ra’s brainwashing. Embarking on countless journeys to reclaim my masculinity, I eventually became a creature that only loved women.
I refuse to go down that path.
“As I’ve always said, I want to stay true to myself.”
“Hmm… I don’t want to get too cozy either… Is there any way we can avoid it?”
Shin-ra clasped her hands together and pleaded with me.
“This is a rare opportunity. Of course, I know you’re not particularly fond of such things, but could you help me just this once? You can also get intimate with the heroines, right?”
“Ugh…”
We live by respecting each other to the fullest extent, adjusting ourselves to fit one another. I am an ordinary human, and Shin-ra is a deity.
Understanding each other’s perspectives and revealing our true feelings happens in the bedroom.
For a divine being and a human to sustain their marital bond, deep mutual understanding is essential.
Though it may seem absurd that our discussion revolves around whether or not Shin-ra should be allowed yuri gameplay in the game, it’s a significant issue for us.
“Will you only find satisfaction within the game?”
“Of course.”
“And no luring real-life women into anything inappropriate?”
“You know I only have eyes for you in reality.”
“And no tricks involving turning me into a woman in real life, right?”
“…”
Shin-ra fell silent. I pinched her cheek.
“Hey, aren’t you going to answer?”
“A-Ah, yes!”
Shin-ra drew circles with her fingers as a sign of surrender.
“I absolutely promise not to engage in any kind of intimacy with you. I swear upon the sun.”
“Good. I’ll allow you to indulge in girl-on-girl gameplay with the heroines.”
“Thank you so much for letting me! Puhehe.”
As always, I ended up giving in.
“I love you, truly.”
Whenever I hear those words, my anger towards her dissipates. How adorable and endearing it is to see this goddess, this woman, worry so much about hurting me?
“Still, you must promise me something.”
“What is it?”
“If I ever catch you trying to lead me down the path of yuri in real life… it’s over.”
“Of course.”
“And if that happens, I’ll tie you to the bed and continue until you genuinely confess ‘I will never engage in yuri gameplay again.'”
Shin-ra turned pale. I extended my pinky finger toward her.
“You must promise.”
“Grrr…”
Shin-ra hooked her pinky finger with mine.
“Oh, and one more thing—I won’t play as a male character.”
“Eh? But didn’t you want to ravish Phoenix?”
“Just call me when it’s time. I’ll cooperate then.”
“…MFF.”
Shin-ra sweetly tempted me.
“It’s you and me ravishing Phoenix. How does that sound? Isn’t it tempting? The famous MFF?”
“I’ve heard of FMF, but this is my first time hearing MFF.”
“With both of us working together, it’ll work out fine. A married couple shares everything, right?”
“…Hmm, alright.”
A married couple shares everything.
“Do what you desire.”
Ultimately, I am the person who most enjoys watching Shin-ra do what she loves.
“Ah, then let me say this.”
Shin-ra tightly gripped my hand and spoke.
“While we wait for a certain phrase to emerge, maybe you could…you know…start pounding now for the next 24 hours?”
“Climb onto the bed.”
Thump thump thump thump thump.
The game officially began after 24 hours had passed.

Summary:
The players in the game are Shin-ra, Chang-yeom, and me.
When it comes to doing the deed as a man at night, I leave it to him, but during the day, I handle it myself.
In other words, except for when I need to sleep with the heroines at night, I conduct all gameplay as usual.
Chang-yeom, activate!
“Chang-yeom has returned! Puhehe.”
I re-entered the game world. He hovered on my shoulder in his mini-Phoenix form, filming me as I moved.
Although our live broadcasts have stopped, it’s not because we discontinued them entirely. Rather, due to certain reasons, live streaming became impossible.
[From now on, we’ll upload recorded streams.]
We ceased live broadcasting. More accurately, we stopped live-streaming.
Why?
Because someone was concerned about excessive exposure of sensitive information through constant bedroom antics.
[We’ll record the footage, edit it, and release it.]
Following his suggestion, he became a magical camera, monitoring my every move.
“Shall we get moving…puhehe.”
It’s morning now. Everyone at the office is still commuting.
‘This quiet period in the early morning suits me well.’
When I purely played as a male character, the office beds were often soaked with remnants of passion.
But not today. No all-night rolling around here; all the magical girls have gone home.
“Everyone’s on mandatory leave today.”
First things first, I need to devise a plan to resolve this awkward situation.
What do people think about the sudden gender swap?
Not much difference.
No mid-DLC shock reactions like “Commander! What’s wrong with you?!”
Rather, it’s better this way. The current blonde-haired, blue-eyed version feels more familiar to me.
“It’s like I dyed my hair…”
[My natural hair color is better though.]
“But this golden sun works for me here.”
Golden Sun. The legendary百合 queen who travels through scenic valleys with countless beauties.
To facilitate the Golden Sun’s convenience, I first needed “it.”
“Dayview Nightjuice. Changing clothes every time the day shifts is such a hassle.”
It’s bothersome to strip down naked and change outfits every sunrise and sunset. So, I immediately used Magical Gear to place a call.
“Hello?”
[Didn’t I tell you not to call during the day?]
An instantly irritable voice answered.
“Ah, Harang, don’t be mad.”
[Are you crazy? Stop acting cute!]
“But I am cute.”
[…Your head must be spinning properly. What’s up?]
“I miss you.”
[…]
Harang didn’t say anything. Through our conversation, I subtly gauged her feelings toward me.
[…Come to Busan.]
‘So, she doesn’t completely hate me.’
She doesn’t dislike the female version of me, Baek Cheonghwa. She simply prefers the male version of me from the night.
“But I have work, so I’ll leave tonight and arrive by dawn.”
[…Are you teasing me?]
“Not teasing.”
[…Come at night. We can enjoy the Busan night view.]
Through this exchange, the inner thoughts of Seok Harang became clear. I could vividly imagine her face beyond the magical gear connection.
“Alright, alright. I’ll come soon. Oh, I’m not coming alone, though.”
[Who’s coming with you?]
“My part-timer. I need both of your help.”
[…Kim Penril is coming too?]
“Of course.”
I snapped my fingers, and a breeze filled the office.
“I called?”
“Yes. I need your help, yours and Harang’s.”
“This body? For what?”
“Clothes.”
I pointed at myself.
“I need a magical outfit that seamlessly transforms between male and female forms powered by magic.”
“…Meaning…”
[If we deactivate the magic, you’ll be naked. Got it?]
“Of course. Puhehe.”
Ironically, this was exactly what I hoped for. I showed them the reference materials I had prepared.
“I’d like something along these lines.”
[Hey. Are you trying to kill School Mizu?]
A little Phoenix pecked at my forehead, but I paid it no mind.
