EP.1024 Part 3 Chapter 3-11

I’m going on a date with Shin-ra.

It’s been quite a while since I’ve been cooped up at home every day, and even though I recently went to Busan with Seok Harang, going somewhere with Shin-ra always makes me happy.

Shin-ra!

Date!

Joy!

While I wasn’t thinking much about it, Shin-ra seemed to have something on her mind.

“What are you doing?”

“I’m planning out the date itinerary.”

“Do we need an itinerary?”

Usually, my dates with Shin-ra mostly involved eating or experiencing the culture of this country and world through her eyes.

Extreme sports were excluded.

Diving from space into Earth while battling Seongju in a death match left us unimpressed by real-world extreme sports.

Regular sports were also out of the question since Shin-ra’s specs were just too overpowered.

So most of our dates ended up being about watching movies, drinking tea, observing cultural heritage sites or natural environments in this country.

“Want to go here?”

“Sure. How about here next?”

“Hmm, what about that museum instead?”

“Penis Museum? Seriously. Don’t couples get unwanted attention if they go there?”

“If we’re not a couple, why would we come here…?”

“Women usually go together, right?”

“How do you know that?”

“…Just from research.”

Our dates were mostly spontaneous.

Shin-ra was interested in everything about this world, and I was happy just being with her.

But this time, Shin-ra is planning a purposeful date course herself.

More specifically, a theme.

Unlike our last hanbok-themed date, she’s planning this one to extract something meaningful from it.

“Is it because of Tera?”

“Yes. Even if it’s not entirely to my liking, Tera will benefit the most from this date—because they’re Agramans. The people and spirits in their nation may be a bit annoying, but they’re still Tera’s people.”

This isn’t just a simple date.

Our date will be filmed and edited, becoming the next episode of a romantic sex fantasy drama to be broadcast among the Agramans.

“Incredibly considerate.”

“It’s the grace of Spirit.”

As I stroked Shin-ra’s hair, I glanced at the course she was putting together.

Shin-ra didn’t seem to be hiding anything as she browsed various websites, looking for places.

“An arcade?”

“Yes. Honestly, these places might not be familiar to Agramans, right?”

“…Isn’t that a little stereotypical?”

“To be honest, aren’t Agramans inclined toward such things?”

“…That’s true.”

Most Agramans aren’t particularly outgoing.

They don’t really prefer traveling unless someone strongly leads them to a destination.

‘This could be tough.’

When planning travel, it can be confusing when people say anything is fine—whether they truly enjoy following along or simply don’t want to argue or suggest alternatives.

Rather…


Shin-ra, instead of outright proposing a visit to historical ruins, suggesting a trip to the penis museum might be better. Simply saying things like “That’s fine,” “Not bad,” or “Let’s just take some pictures and go” can slightly irritate people.

Even though they aren’t the ones planning the date.

Even if the course is tailored to them, if it’s not good, you can always switch to a backup plan. But just aimlessly following around taking pictures makes the preparer feel… how exactly?

And can the Agaramians understand the heart of someone who prepares like this?

“Agaramian people, could they handle a date course planned with star-like sensibilities?”

“If there’s too much socializing at the beginning, Agaramians might not be able to handle it. We did set the early concept as one where the girl takes the lead, right?”

“That’s true.”

Considering the tendencies of the Agaramians, it’s fine if the female protagonist approaches aggressively, but having an overly social male protagonist wouldn’t work.

“The male protagonist gets his energy drained just by being in crowded places. The woman should act as a buffer for him when dealing with people; if you take him to a club, he’ll pass out immediately.”

Home-office-home-office.

On weekends, staying home all the time, no plans to meet friends, no friends to meet.

Bought a car but only drive it once a week, if that.

Staying inside 24 hours a day, going outside only to buy canned coffee at the convenience store.

Hobbies include quietly watching TV, movies, anime, or playing games at home.

Some might suggest spending more money on hobbies, but there’s nothing to spend on, yet expenses keep piling up without becoming wealthy.

Such a tasteless, colorless world is the essence of Agaramians.

The purpose of filming this video is to swirl pink spring breezes through the gray world filled with white turbidity of the Agaramians, making cherry blossoms bloom everywhere.

“A date where the woman shows interest in the man means approaching from what interests him, right? Let’s approach from the general interests of Agaramians. Lightly.”

“It didn’t seem like that with me.”

“You were obsessed with sex.”

“……”

My sole interest was sex? That’s slander!

“Hey. You need to say things straight. Can you properly enjoy when you’re so pretty that you draw attention wherever you go?”

I placed my hand on Shin-ra’s cheek and spun it around.

“When we go to the cinema, humans start freaking out claiming you’re secretly filming them, when we go to crowded places, everyone keeps taking pictures of us, even at quiet botanical gardens, some creepy guys follow behind trying to film you from behind, and at department stores, old men go crazy…”

“Hehe. Since I’ve become the wife of a goddess, please forgive me. But we do everything at home, don’t we?”

“That’s exactly why I’m saying this. It’s not like I only want to have sex with you, right?”

“Then what?”

“I want to build memories together with the person I love.”

Since Shin-ra is such a beauty, even with minimal makeup, flies gather around her instantly.

“But everywhere we go, there are only bastards ruining our memories. When I notice some guy far away pointing a camera at you while I’m taking pictures, do you know how I feel?”

Last time during the hanbok date, she wore relatively loose clothing, but even in jeans, kids kept secretly snapping photos with their phones behind her back.

Even if I link arms with her or place my hand on her waist, it’s the same thing. This isn’t about needing a hijab, but there are too many concerns.

“Ho ho. Isn’t that hypocritical? For 20 years on Earth or in-game, you never cared or even exploited other people’s pictures or videos circulating.”

“When I do it, it’s romance.”

I kissed Shin-ra on the forehead.

Shin-ra chuckled hollowly at my words and tilted her head…


Rusalka swung her leg.

“Your confidence is making me laugh. You were the one who proudly roamed the entire world more than anyone else.”

“I covered everything that needed covering. And why do you think I wore that nun outfit among all my clothes? It wasn’t for your body’s sake, was it?”

“What about Garura and the others?”

“It’s not Shin-ra. If I worried about dopplegangers too, my head would’ve exploded.”

“…True. Not exactly identical anyway… Ah, found it.”

Shin-ra pointed at our destination with sparkling eyes.

“Our place is here. Here.”

“…Wait. Busan? We’re not going to Seoul?”

“There are arcades in Busan too, right? Seoul is crowded no matter where you go, so we’re heading somewhere quiet with fewer people.”

“…Is Harang trying to tea-bag someone right now?”

“Kyaa, caught me.”

Shin-ra giggled as she pulled my hand.

“…Actually, it’s not Harang; I’m teasing someone else.”

“What?”

“We’re going to try the Rusalka route once.”

“…What?”

“Isn’t it true? There’s no couple where the woman leads as clearly as Rusalka and Light Blade, right? None. You and me—it’s more like you kept pulling me while I kept pushing you away, technically speaking.”

“That’s true.”

Every step forward ended with me getting killed, so it really took a lot of effort just to finally reach Shin-ra.

“But Light Blade just swallowed Rusalka after simply rescuing her from the beach, didn’t he? Moreover, Rusalka suggested they move to Light Blade’s hometown and stayed by his side emotionally after he lost his parents. So this date is similar to how Rusalka gave Light Blade emotional support back then.”

“Indeed….”

A powerless man and the woman trying to revive his spirit.

It’s 100% relatable to the people of Agramen.

“If this counts as tea-bagging, then it’s not aimed at Harang but at someone else.”

“Who?”

“The water goddess, Rusalka.”

“……”

I couldn’t help but be shocked by Shin-ra’s scheme.

“How do you think she’d feel seeing herself fall for a man and turn into a female?”

Shin-ra seemed to hate Jeolpung the most, but she also didn’t particularly like Rusalka-Seoyea much either.

“She might enjoy this, watching it with drama-loving sentimentality and getting super excited…”

Jeolpung supposedly disliked Tera because she became corrupted, but Seoyea has been disliked from the start.

“Wouldn’t it be interesting if she realized the protagonist’s motif was based on herself? Especially knowing her future self immediately reverse-raped a human upon meeting them? Puhehe.”

It’s only natural that fire dislikes water.

“When sending an edited version to Angu later, if we can apply some skins, maybe we should spread this around Water Country—saying their goddess reverse-rapes men and flirts while eating national soup?”

“This might sound weird coming from me, but… aren’t you…?”

“I didn’t become a female; I became a wife and mother. And didn’t you say ‘hypocrisy’?”

“……”

That’s fair.

“But hey, there’s something you seem to have overlooked, isn’t there?”

“What is it?”

“Isn’t 80% of Rusalka’s dating basically sex?”

“……”

From what I remember after seeing the bonus content, she did mark her territory across the entire Busan area through intimate relations.

“You planning to go around all the motels in Busan having sex?”

“Not motels….”

Shin-ra smiled mischievously and licked her lips.

“It’s a spa villa.”

“……”

“Ocean view.”

“That’s… too trendy, isn’t it…?”

“Puhehe. What’s wrong? Scared?”

“……Book it.”

I lightly patted Shin-ra’s cheek as she tilted her head back.

“I’ll pick out the swimsuits.”
