Maybe they’ll look like brother and sister. And he doesn’t know when he will become an adult… Thinking about it, the priest was not surprised at all when Sylvia explained he was her nephew. Sylvia also asked him to go inside to do his homework.
‘Do I look that young? It’s annoying!’
Sevis began to cook, depressed. As he raised and lowered the wok in a grumpy mood, the vegetables splashed all over the place.
“Huh? Sevis, the kitchen is dirty. I know you know how to cook, but your technique is moderate. Cooking is done with care…”
“It’s not like that!”
The next day, Sylvia left the house, wearing the scarf Sevis had given her. Since she was going to do her daily sales promotion part-time job, he thought she would look sincere if she wore a scarf over her ragged clothes. Sevis wore a hat and came out with her to sell the marbles they had acquired in the dungeons.
Sevis, who went a different way when they reached the crossroads, told Sylvia that the part-time job was in the event hall on the 1st basement floor of the Sigmund Hotel, and that she should come out immediately if anything seemed strange.
‘They’re jade floors… Surely it’s not a strange part-time job…’
She said she would promote the jade floors with confidence, but she was a little worried. She has worked at a fast-food restaurant and an ice cream shop, but she has never done sales promotion. In addition, selling jade floors was a little awkward.
‘I just took it because I believed in my speaking skills. I also thought it would work out somehow because this is inside the game.’
As she followed the milestones, she soon saw the grand and antique Sigmund Hotel. In front of the hotel, the finest carriages with white and black horses were parked.
‘I don’t know how much carriages cost here, but it seems to be an absurd amount like 10,000 gold.’
While playing the game, Sylvia roughly learned the concept of money in this world. Even though they occasionally found free ingredients in dungeons, Sevis and Sylvia’s monthly living expenses were 1,000 gold, including food and miscellaneous expenses. But 1,000 was the minimum cost of living.
Buying ice cream at the street vendor outside was about 5 gold, but staying in a hotel like this was about 5,000 gold a night. The price difference was ridiculous. Probably it would cost a lot more money to maintain a richer lifestyle than what she had now.
Sylvia, who had 200 gold in her possession at the beginning, was worthy of being called a beggar.
‘If I didn’t attack the dungeons, I’d starve to death sooner or later.’
Sylvia looked down at her ragged clothes. It seemed that the time had come to buy some humane clothes.
‘When I get paid for this part-time today and Sevis sells the marbles, it will be over 10,000 gold. I should go to the secret shop and a clothes shop.’
The entrance to the hotel was crowded with staff assisting with valet parking and people dressed in luxurious clothes that gracefully got down from the carriages.
The game world was properly mixed with elements of fantasy and reality, so each garment showed their personalities, whether it was a person in a luxurious suit, a person in a white uniform, or a person in an ample dress.
Sylvia, dressed in ragged clothes, was bothered for a moment at the entrance, but she could safely enter with the business card she had received from the carrier pigeon. The hotel staff looked up and down at Sylvia, then looked at her business card and tilted their head.
“Ah, you’re the one who is going to make the sales promotion in the basement today. You can go in.”
Seeing the hotel staff who opened the entrance with a belatedly polite attitude after seeing the business card, she grunted in her mind.
‘Am I really wearing beggar’s clothes on the 12th day of the game… Since it’s a game, I thought I’d get some clothes if I attacked the dungeons, but it’s all self-service…’
A spectacular venue welcomed Sylvia as she went down the stairs to the basement of the hotel. Cloth-covered round tables lined up, and nobles of all ages, dressed in flashy and luxurious clothes, entered the venue and began to sit down.
Sylvia was intimidated by the extremely fancy event hall of what she had thought to be just a simple sales promotion for jade floors.
‘Wow, I came here because I lost my reason at the 1,000 gold, but it’s a bit stressful.’
“Excuse me, are you Miss Sylvia, who came for the sales part-time today?”
Silvia, who was standing at the entrance waiting for the owner of the business card, looked back at the unfamiliar voice. When she nodded, the man bowed his head politely and guided Sylvia. As she followed him, she saw a red-haired man in a luxurious suit sitting on a sofa with a carefree expression.
The man, who had his legs crossed with the most languid figure, was the red-haired pufferfish man who gave Sylvia a dead-ending.
‘Ugh, it’s the pufferfish man.’
Fortunately or not, he didn’t seem to recognize Sylvia.
“This is our President. Mr. Luca, this is Miss Sylvia, who is here today for the promotional event.”
“Hello, I am here today to do the part-ti…”
“What, what is that woman wearing? Ah! No matter how urgent it is, just send her back. How is she going to empty those guys’ pockets in that ragged outfit? That’s ridiculous!”
The pufferfish man faked a burst of laughter.
‘That crazy… Look at how he’s talking.’
While Sylvia was cursing inwardly, the middle-aged man who approached the side of the pufferfish man opened his mouth in a calm tone.
“She can rent clothes here in the hotel’s event hall. Isn’t her innocent appearance just right for our business concept? The Sapphire Team Leader is absent, so we need manpower.”
As the middle-aged man silently looked down at Luca with worried eyes, he sighed as he touched his temples.
“Ugh, alright. We needed some young blood anyway. Wait, come to think of it, have I seen you somewhere?”

Looking up and down at Sylvia with a slight frown on his gorgeous golden eye, he snapped his finger as he remembered.
“Ah, you raggedy clothes! Didn’t we run into each other in the alley?”
“I’m not sure… I don’t remember…”
As if she had never met him, Sylvia pushed her face backwards, making a double chin, and feigned innocence.
“Is that so? That’s weird.”
Luca, who tilted his head, suddenly grabbed Sylvia’s hand and walked away. As she looked back, the middle-aged man was standing still as if he was familiar with Luca’s actions. As if he always lived the way he wanted.
‘No, I can’t believe he’s holding my hand so suddenly… Though I’m the only one who likes it.’
Since he was handsome, despite being rude, there was nothing to dislike about holding hands with him.
Following him up a few flights of stairs, a splendid hall appeared. It seemed to be a place for banquets and other events. Luca, who had taken her to a dressing room in the corner, locked the door and turned around. Tons of glamorous dresses hung on the hangers inside the room.
‘Wow, look at the jewels. They must be really expensive.’
While she was staring at the dresses, Luca looked up and down at Sylvia and clicked his tongue.
“Gosh. No matter how you look at it, you look ridiculous. You’re not even a neighborhood beggar.”
‘That…’
He was really rude.
Sylvia frowned slightly at Luca’s words. Luca, who scanned her up and down, glanced through the dresses without hesitation.
“Miss Celia, you knew the part-time job was at a hotel and you still came dressed like that? These are all rental clothes, so pick something. I’ll pay for it too.”
“Ah… I apologize. And I’m Sylvia, not Celia.”
“Ah, whatever it is.”
Luca shook his hand without hesitation and sat on a red velvet one-person sofa. Then, he rested his elbow on the armrest, holding his chin, and made an uninterested expression.
‘He doesn’t even remember a name he had just heard.’
After grumbling inwardly for a moment, Sylvia quietly looked down at her clothes. It was kind of weird to do a promotional part-time job wearing ragged clothes.
‘I should have gone to the clothes shop first.’
But for some reason, she thought that even if she had used up all her money and bought clothes, Luca would have still acted rashly.
Sylvia was a little annoyed by Luca’s arrogant tone, but since it was her fault for wearing ragged clothes and coming here without thinking, she rushed through the hangers.
She picked a canary-yellow dress that came to her knees that would harmonize with her hair and eye color. It was a luxurious yet lively outfit with a jewel brooch embedded in the middle.
As Sylvia picked her clothes and looked back, Luca, who was sitting on the sofa, moved only his eyes and stared at her.
“Don’t think about sneaking out in that outfit, because you have to return it. And change in front of me.”
“What do you…”
Sylvia frowned at Luca’s words. She would have welcomed it with open arms if Noel had told her to undress in front of him, but she didn’t want to do a strip show in front of Luca, the non-targetable character who gave her a dead-ending.
When Sylvia hesitated, Luca raised one corner of his mouth to make a sneering look and spoke sarcastically.
“I heard the manager posted an advertisement for 1,000 gold every two hours? I guess you were just trying to take that money. You don’t seem to have any money. How do I know your intentions? I need to check it because you might have a recorder or a weapon.”
‘Ugh… I only have a lot of doubts.’
In fact, undressing in front of Luca wasn’t a problem for her. But what was the point in taking off her clothes? She was hesitant because she had to take off her clothes in front of a handsome man whom she couldn’t even f*ck.
‘Wait… Could that be it?’
Come to think of it, she was not poisoned even though she came here holding Luca’s hand. Maybe there was nothing wrong with touching a little. If she didn’t directly ingest his body fluids, she wouldn’t get a dead-ending.

‘Whether it’s a non-targetable character or whatever, I’m in an R-rated game and I’ve been living a very decent life for 12 days. I can’t take it anymore. I have to satisfy my lust somehow.’
What could she do to do that? Sylvia glanced at Luca, who, despite his rudeness, had a face that seemed to make her reach climax just by making eye contact.
