Chapter 73 : Two Weeks Off (4)

Pony suddenly appeared, said what she had to say, and then disappeared.

She left me with the strange mission ability, so I couldn't sleep and eagerly searced through the mission list.

Before I knew it, it was morning.

The first to wake up, as always, was my mother-in-law.

"Oh my, why are you up so early?"

"You're awake. Did you sleep well?"

"Yes."

When I tried to get up from the sofa and go to my mother-in-law, she waved her hand and stopped me.

"Wait a moment! I need to wash up."

"You're already beautiful, do you have to?"

"Ah! Really! Don't be so cheeky."

My mother-in-law rushed into the bathroom to wash up.

Her slightly flushed face was actually cute, too bad.

"Tsk."

I sat back down on the sofa and carefully looked through the missions I had bookmarked.

The mission list was too long for me to have seen it all, but there were quite a few missions I could do.

And if I completed all these missions, I would earn a total of 130,000 coins.

With 130,000 coins, I could buy the items I had put in my shopping cart.

'I must buy this 110,000 coin item!'

It looks like a pair of glasses, but when you wear them, they reduce your presence so that you don't attract people's attention.

In other words, it has an 'reduced recognition' function.

Of course, that's not the only function it has.

If that was the only function, I wouldn't consider spending over 110,000 coins to buy it.

When you wear these glasses, you can change your appearance to whatever you want.

You can adjust not only your face but also your body.

It's said to be used for spy infiltration, but I don't need it for that. It would be useful for hiding my identity.

With this item, I can instantly break through my current situation.

'But when will I be able to complete all these missions?'

I decided to start with the missions I could complete right away. I looked closely at one of the missions.

[Decide the first baby's name (possible) 10 coins］

[Save 100 women's phone numbers in your contacts (possible) 100 coins］

[Read the book 'Various Positions for Ecstatic Sex' (possible) 50 coins］

[Run 5km (possible) 150 coins］

[Run 10km (possible) 200 coins］

[Threesome with two human women (possible) 200 coins］

[Do 5,000 sit-ups (possible)］

…and so on.

There were many types, and although the rewards were a bit disappointing, most of them were doable.

Then, my mother-in-law came out of the bathroom with her wet hair wrapped in a towel.

"Are you hungry? I'll make you breakfast."

"No, it's okay. Come sit here."

Pang, pang~!

I patted the sofa seat next to me.

"Are you trying to seduce me?"

"Ah! Did I make you uncomfortable?"

"No…it's just that I want you to stop acting like you're my sister's boyfriend and more like my own."

"Ugh…"

Rather than explaining the complicated situation, I just lay down and put my head on her lap.

"What will you do when Joo-ah wakes up?"

"Joo-ah will wake up late, so I can relax for now. And when she wakes up, she wakes up. By the way, I have an appointment today, so I have to leave early. If Joo-ah wakes up late, I won't be able to see her, so please tell her for me."

"Will you come back tonight?"

"Well, I think I'll have to go back to the dorm after my appointment."

"You could stay a little longer…."

"If I stay any longer, it'll be 5 days. I should get going soon. You've been uncomfortable because of me."

5 days is a long time.

I needed to move quickly to keep my remaining appointments.

Plus, I had missions to complete now.

"No way! It's been so nice having you here."

Seeing my mother-in-law's face light up, it seemed like she enjoyed having me around.

She must have been rejuvenated by having me around.

I lay on my mother-in-law's lap, enjoying breakfast and her company. After a simple breakfast of toast and a glass of milk, I left the house.

'Mother-in-law's lap is the best!'

Actually, my face was probably more flushed than my mother-in-law's.

I spent my time flirting with Joo-ah , enjoying the delicious meals my mother-in-law prepared, and sneaking into her room late at night to satisfy my desires. It was a fantastic life.

Heaven is not far away.

'My dream now is to succeed as an idol and retire comfortably.'

I'll work hard to earn money and build a beautiful house.

And I'll live there happily with my women!

Of course, that's still a long way off.

I'm just a rookie idol with nothing to my name.

••••••••

Even if it weren't for the missions, I would have left Ju-a's house eventually. But I planned to complete as many missions as possible while I had the chance.

The mission to name the first baby.

You might think it's too much to name the baby by myself, but don't worry.

Ju-a said she would be sad if she couldn't register the baby in her name, so I offered to name the baby.

It was something I had to do anyway, and now I get coins for it. It's a win-win situation.

'The baby will have to take my mother-in-law's last name, Nam.'

My mother-in-law's name is 'Nam Jeong-hwa'.

So, my child's last name will be Nam.

Later, when we register the baby, the last name will change to 'Jin', so I need to choose a name that will sound good with either last name.

"Nam Hae-a Jin Hae-a. This name is too obvious, right? Anyone can see that it's a combination of my name and Ju-a's name."

I should probably leave the naming to a professional.

But I decided to do my best to come up with a name.

'I have to become a 'father', so I can't give up easily.'

After much thought, I finally decided on a name.

Nam Hee-won.

Jin Hee-won.

As soon as I decided on the name in my mind, the mission was completed, and I received the coins.

"So that's how the coins are recorded."

[Coins owned: 48 (10)］

The coins I earn from missions are recorded separately from the coins I earn from having sex. It's easier for me this way.

I don't want to waste coins that I can use to increase my abilities on buying items.

'Pony said that the people above don't want me to increase my abilities too much. The real value is in my abilities, not the items.'

Seeing 'dragon' and 'beast-people' in the mission list, it's clear that this world is not the only one out there.

But I don't want to know about other worlds.

It has nothing to do with me.

'I don't want to get involved in anything more fantastical.'

I've already experienced enough incredible things. I don't want any more fantastical experiences.

"Hello! Long time no see?"

"Joanna!"

I jumped up from my seat and hugged Joanna.

I was planning to meet either Ahyeon or Bok-soon, but Joanna had been insisting on seeing me for the past 5 days. She said it had to be today, so I had no choice but to meet her first.

She was so insistent that I couldn't refuse.

"I missed you so much! Why have you been so busy? Don't you want to see me?"

"Of course not. I've just been really busy."

"If it weren't for my muse, I would have dumped you already."

"Really?"

"Hehe, no. How could I dump you? Just looking at you is a treat."

"Is that really the only reason you wanted to see me so badly? Or is there another reason? You seem like you're hiding something from me."

I had a feeling she was hiding something from me for a while now.

"Darling, you're so perceptive."

"As expected. What is it? There's something you're not telling me, right?"

I was dying to know what this woman was hiding from me.

"Listen, darling. Can I ask you for a favor?"

"Let me hear it first, and then I'll decide."

"I wanted to help her if I could, but I wasn't sure what she was going to ask for, so I didn't want to promise anything yet."

"Um…you might not like it, but please understand her situation. You're such a kind and generous man, darling."

"Am I really that kind?"

I tilted my head at her words, but I nodded for now.

"You keep saying things that make me nervous. Just tell me what the favor is."

"Ugh…I want you to have sex with my friend."

"…What?"

"Sex. I want you to have sex with her."

Joanna made a circle with her fingers and stuck her long middle finger in and out of it.

I quickly grabbed her hand and put it down, looking around to make sure no one saw.

"What is this sudden request? And why do you want me to have sex with your friend?"

"My friend wants to have sex with you?!"

Is this another cultural difference I have to accept?

Gender-swapped world!

When will I ever get used to this?!

"Actually, my friend is Mei Lin. The photographer from the magazine shoot, remember?"

"…Oh my god. You want me to have sex with her?"

She was a cold woman who could freeze even the hottest summer day.

Her personality wasn't bad for a woman from this world, but the thought of having sex with such a cold woman was hard to imagine.

"Does Mei Lin agree to this? Or is this just your idea, Joanna?"

"Mei Lin doesn't know yet."

"Then it's over. I'm sorry, but I can't do this favor for you, Joanna."

"What? You're rejecting me already?"

"Something like this should be proposed by the person themselves! And how did you even come up with this idea?!"

"She's been in a slump ever since she photographed you!"

"A slump?"

"How is that my fault?"

"I took photos of other members too."

"But you're the reason for her slump, darling. There's a photo you haven't seen. She took an amazing photo of you, and it made her give up on photography."

"What photo is it?"

"It's a photo of you looking incredibly handsome. If you see it, you'll have to admit it. And ever since she took that photo, Mei Lin hasn't been able to take any more photos. She says she'll never be able to take a better photo than that one."

"What kind of nonsense is this?!"

Something incredible must have happened to Mei Lin without my knowledge.

But I don't understand how having sex with me is supposed to help her get out of her slump.

I explained my doubts to Joanna, and she laughed.

­That's because I was inspired by you!

"Inspiration?"

"Of course, I already knew the answer to my slump before we had sex. If I hadn't had sex with you, I would have ended up in a slump too. You're a fatal man to artists, darling."

"Have you been able to design better since we had sex?"

"Yes, I told you. That's why I was so desperate to see you. My mind was a blank slate, and I couldn't come up with any ideas. But after we had sex, I was inspired again. I'm sure that if Mei Lin has sex with you, she'll be able to overcome her slump too."
