I Became The Main Character’s First Love in The Game

Chapter 3 – Cance… I won’t do it, right?

Today, I dare to predict, is going to be the hardest day of my life.

Why, you ask?

After discovering that Rina and I had become friends, my mom became friends with Rina’s mom and even started visiting our house.

And just like that, there was one more child I had to look after at home.

‘Is this Seolhwa’s room?’

‘Yes.’

‘Wow, I still sleep with my mom.’

‘I still sleep with my mom too.’

Honestly, I’d like to sleep alone, but my mom is such a daddy’s girl that she won’t allow it.

‘My mom keeps asking me to sleep with her, what can I do…’

‘Then what do you use this room for?’

‘Studying.’

My knowledge level is already equivalent to a high school student… or even beyond, but it’s been 5 years since I stopped studying.

That’s enough time for even what I knew to start fading away.

The foreign languages I know are permanently etched in my brain anyway because of the Association’s injection education, but subjects like math are different. Math is something you quickly forget if you don’t practice for a while.

‘So I asked my mom for high school math…’

3 days ago…

‘Mom, buy this for me.’

‘What is it?’

I showed her high school math workbooks and other subject workbooks on her phone.

‘…Seolhwa, these seem too difficult for you. How about this?’

Mom showed me a workbook with only addition and subtraction problems.

‘Then just give me one high school problem.’

I brought paper and a pencil.

‘Alright.’

The problem mom wrote was too simple.

It was the square of (a+b+c).

I solved the problem easily and asked mom for a more difficult one, but mom…

‘Sorry~ Mom has forgotten everything, so this is all I know~.’

‘…..’

‘Okay~ I’ll buy it for you for now.’

And that’s how I got my workbooks.

Currently, right now….

‘Seolhwa, can I take a look at this?’

‘Sure.’

‘You probably won’t understand it anyway.’

Rina picked up a math workbook and opened it.

‘Ugh… I’m getting dizzy….’

‘What did you look at that made you dizzy?’

‘I don’t know… I’ve only learned addition and subtraction…’

‘It’s okay if you don’t know yet.’

‘Yeah.’

While I was only talking with Rina, I could feel Sihyeon’s gaze.

‘Sihyeon.’

‘Yes?’

‘Come here.’

‘Okay…’

When Sihyeon approached me, I gave her a hug.

‘Ugh… ah… Se… Seolhwa’

‘Sigh… you silly bear, you could have just joined in the conversation instead of sitting there alone.’

‘Sorry…’

‘You need to fix that habit.’

‘What?’

‘Always saying sorry.’

‘Okay… sorry.’

‘There you go again!’

‘I swear I’m going to fix that personality of his.’

He talks like that in games too, but he’s much better now than before.

‘Seolhwa, what should we do now?’

‘Hmm… how about a board game?’

‘Let’s do that!’

‘Then I’ll go get it.’

‘Okay!’

‘I’ll… help too…’

‘Thanks.’

When Sihyeon and I went to the living room, my aunt, mom, and Rina’s mother were talking.

As soon as my mom spotted me, she rushed over and started nuzzling my cheeks.

‘Ugh… Mom, please stop…’

‘Alright, my daughter~.’

She let go right away when I asked her to stop.

‘You have such a good relationship with your daughter, sis.’

‘Right?’

‘Of course.’

‘You haven’t been together that long… Is this the social skills of popular people?’

It’s like a dream for an outsider like me…

‘I borrowed it from an older girl I know.’

‘Who?’

‘Um… you know, that girl with the Guan Yu character type…’

‘Aunt Suryeon?’

‘Oh! Suryeon.’

‘Then I’ll go back.’

‘Seolhwa, since you’re here, take the snacks on the table.’

‘Okay.’

I picked up the snacks from the table to give to Sihyeon and took the drink in the glass cup for myself.

‘Seolhwa, I’ll take the drink and you carry the snacks.’

‘It’s fine though?’

‘Still… I’m always just receiving help from you.’

‘It’s okay, I just do it because I want to.’

‘Okay….’

As we went to the room with the drinks and snacks, I saw Rina rolling around on my bed.

‘What are you doing?’

‘Eek!’

‘Looks like you were surprised.’

‘Sorry, hehe…’

‘No, it’s fine. You can stay there if you want.’

‘Really?’

‘Yes.’

My bed has been communal since the old days.

‘Then I won’t hold back.’

Hearing that, Rina started rolling around to her heart’s content.

After looking at Rina, I turned to Sihyeon and saw her giving an envious look.

‘You can roll around later too.’

‘Really?’

‘Yes, I think of you both as equal friends.’

‘I don’t like that…’

‘Huh?’

‘I don’t want to be treated the same as Rina…’

‘Hey! That’s not right!’

‘Okay…’

I whispered quietly in Sihyeon’s ear so Rina couldn’t hear.

‘But you know I like you more, right?’

‘Really?’

‘Yes, really.’

‘I like you too, Seolhwa.’

I was so surprised when Sihyeon suddenly grabbed my hand that I fell over.

‘Ugh…’

‘Seolhwa, are you okay?’

‘Yeah, I’m fine.’

I dusted off my bottom, got up, and opened a snack to eat.

‘I hope… it won’t happen?’

So we played with the same routine of hide-and-seek, tag, and freeze tag until it got late. Rina left first, and Sihyeon…

‘Mom.’

‘What?’

‘I want to sleep at Seolhwa’s house.’

‘I’m fine with it~.’

‘Really?’

Excuse me. My opinion is.

‘Then I’ll have to sleep alone tonight!’

‘What about Dad?’

‘He’s on a business trip.’

‘He’s been gone for quite a while this time.’

‘But once this business trip is over, he’ll be on vacation, so hehe… I won’t let him go…’

Mom made a mischievous expression and said to me.

‘Seolhwa.’

‘Yes?’

‘Do you prefer a little sister or a little brother?’

-Thwack!

‘Ow! Why did you hit me!’

‘Is that something you should say in front of children?!’

‘Yes! I just asked if she prefers a little brother or a little sister.’

‘Hey, your husband said last time that this isn’t something to discuss as a family.’

‘Of course, condom… Sorry, Seolhwa.’

‘It’s okay.’

Although I already knew all about this, I tried to pretend I didn’t know to avoid the situation.

‘Seolhwa, what’s a condom?’

‘Um… I don’t know.’

‘There are things even Seolhwa doesn’t know?’

‘That’s right, I’m still only 5 years old, aren’t I?’

‘But Seolhwa, do you dislike sleeping with me? When I said that earlier…’

‘Ah, I was just too surprised then.’

‘So you like sleeping with me?’

‘I guess… what?’

We’ve never slept together, but what could happen?

I regretted this thought terribly.

After my aunt went home, Sihyeon and I went to the bathroom to take a bath together.

‘Whew… it’s warm…’

I put my body in the warm water, making it just the right temperature.

‘Sihyeon, you come in too. It feels really good.’

‘Okay.’

When Sihyeon got in, I played music on my mom’s phone that I had secretly brought.

The title was ‘Lemon’ by Kenshi Yonezu.

‘Seolhwa, what song is this?’

‘It’s a Japanese song. I like it.’

‘Then I like this song too.’

I closed my eyes and relaxed in the water, feeling good…

‘Ahh… this is nice…’

‘With this good feeling and nice music, I’m getting sleepy…’

I realized I should have been making plans for the future, but what could I do when I felt so good?

I fell asleep just like that.

‘Kuuuu…. Kuuuu… Kuuga…’

Hearing the sound of me falling asleep, Sihyeon started to nudge me.

‘Seolhwa, are you sleeping?’

‘You are sleeping…’

‘If you sleep here, you’ll catch a cold…’

Sihyeon took a towel that was hanging, dried the water from her body, changed clothes, and went to tell my mom.

‘Auntie.’

‘Yes, Sihyeon, what is it?’

‘Seolhwa is sleeping.’

‘Okay.’

Mom turned off the TV she was watching and came to me.

‘Our Seolhwa must have felt good.’

Mom picked me up, dried me off, and put my pajamas on me.

‘Sihyeon, are you going to sleep?’

‘Yes.’

Mom moved me to my bed, and Sihyeon also lay down with me on the bed.

‘Sleep well.’

Mom closed the door, and we were lying on the same bed.

‘Kuuuu….ZZzzzz.’

‘Seolhwa, are you sleeping?’

‘Kuuuu…’

Sihyeon moved closer to me as I slept.

‘Seolhwa, your mom said that kisses should be given to people you love, you know?’

Sihyeon kissed me right on my cheek.

‘Good night… Seolhwa.’

Sihyeon kissed my cheek and fell asleep right away.

‘Ugh…’

When I woke up, Sihyeon was sleeping beside me.

‘But why is it so itchy? Did a mosquito bite me?’

I scratched my itchy cheek as I went to the living room.

Mom was watching TV in the living room.

And there were dark circles deeply set under her eyes.

‘Mom, don’t tell me you stayed up all night watching that?’

‘Yes.’

‘I told you not to stay up all night watching dramas.’

‘But it’s so interesting.’

‘Sigh… Don’t you remember the doctor said to go to bed early because it’s bad for your health?’

‘But I’m… resting like this because I’m sick…’

‘I’m sorry…’

‘You don’t need to be sorry, but you should really take care of Mom’s health. I was so scared back then.’

‘Okay…’

On the day Mom took a vacation, villains attacked the branch where she worked. Fortunately, with A-rank Mom and S-rank Dad there, they quickly subdued them, but Mom had to stay in the hospital for several months due to a surprise attack, and now she’s resting like this.

‘By the way, is there anything to eat this morning?’

‘Hmm… no!’

‘Give me your card. I’ll go grocery shopping.’

‘Really? How?’

‘I’ll manage.’

‘Okay~’

Mom handed me the card, and I grabbed a shopping basket and headed to the supermarket.

‘Seolhwa, be careful and come back safely~’

‘Yes.’

Now I’m really going.

I went to the supermarket, bought what I needed, and got bread and the chocolate Sora bread that person likes.

After finishing checkout, I started walking in the opposite direction from home.

‘There was a description that this person was around here.’

The person I’m looking for now is Jack the Ripper, known as the strongest assassin.

And the reason I’m looking for this person is for that sword they possess.

‘If I just have that sword, my romantic dream will be complete.’

ROOA has various weapons.

And I’m not a performance enthusiast, but a romantic enthusiast.

I’ve tried every kind of romance there is.

But among them all, there was one weapon I could never obtain.

That weapon I absolutely could never get.

It was a sword possessed by a boss mob, but that mob would never drop that sword. So, I contacted the game company and they told me how to get it.

[Save Jack lol]

That’s when I smashed my computer.

‘It was a bit of a waste back then, and they did give me detailed information about Jack.’

They told me where he died and where his hideout was, but the game starts 12 years after Jack’s death.

So the boss mob had already taken that sword.

‘But this time is different.’

And now I started heading toward the alley where he would be lying with a severe wound.

‘It should be around here… There he is.’

I approached him as he lay there and spoke to him in the kindest tone possible.

‘Mister, what are you doing here?’

‘Ugh… Who might you be?’

‘Just a 5-year-old kid passing by.’

‘Kuhehe… Child, you don’t seem afraid… I’ve killed more than 50 people…’

‘That’s it. You only killed bad people.’

‘!’

‘Why are you surprised? Nobody knows that except you.’

Most of the people he killed were corrupt politicians with good public images.

‘Who… are you?’

‘Hmm… Someone who wants the sword you have?’

‘Are you talking about that troublesome thing?’

‘Yes.’

‘Kuhehe… KAHAHAHA!!!’

He started laughing like a madman.

‘Right! If you know that much, you must also know about my hideout?’

‘Yeah.’

‘Then can I trust you and lose consciousness? I’m barely holding on as it is.’

‘Sure.’

He immediately lost consciousness.

As I am now, I can’t throw off the people coming to catch Jack.

So I cast an environmental illusion on him and concealed his appearance.

Suddenly, men in blood-stained suits approached me.

‘Child.’

‘Yes?’

‘Have you seen a bearded man in black clothes?’

‘Hmm… Oh! He ran that way!’

‘Thank you, this is a gift.’

He gave me a red candy that had a sweet scent.

‘Thank you!’

After hearing my thanks, the men went in the direction I had pointed.

‘Disgusting.’

I immediately took out the candy and crushed it.

‘Tsk..’

I approached Jack, strengthened my body with mana, and carried him on my back.

-Flinch…

‘Looks like you’re awake.’

‘Are they gone?’

‘Yeah.’

‘Thanks… little miss.’

‘Don’t call me that.’

‘Alright, little miss.’

‘Hah… just call me that then.’

As I carried him, he began to ask me questions.

‘Your voice sounds like a 5-year-old girl, but you use mana. Plus, I’ve never seen mana manipulation like this before. Is it physical enhancement?’

‘First, yes, I am 5 years old. And I’m an elemental type. This is a technique I created, so I’d appreciate if you kept it secret.’

‘Will do, little miss.’

The power that made me an S-class hero – a variation of mana.

It’s a power that strengthens my body with mana or uses non-elemental force.

‘I’ve consumed a lot with this.’

It was definitely very efficient compared to the mana used.

After chatting with Jack, we arrived at his hideout.

%%%% [A Small Drink for Her] %%%%

It’s his bar.

-Clink…

When I opened the door and entered, I saw many expensive liquors inside.

Valentine 30 years.

‘Should I take that too?’

I had a bit of ulterior motive, but saving this person came first.

I took out a high-grade recovery potion from the cabinet and sprayed it on him.

Without this, this person would die.

I remembered that this probably cost around 2000.

‘Cough… Cough…’

‘Are you conscious?’

‘Yes… but for this level of recovery, you’d need to use what’s in that cabinet… AAAAARGH!!!!’

He began to wail when he saw the empty high-grade recovery potion in my hand.

‘Be satisfied that I didn’t take your 30-year-old Valentine, you human.’
