Chapter 6 Unexpected Mission! (1)
-Plop.
My mother and I separated immediately.
”Uh, cough cough, isn’t this judgment a bit… uh, too arbitrary, Mother?”
”Well, I mean, it’s a bit strange. Ahaha… But it’s okay! That kind of phenomenon is quite natural!”
I’m so embarrassed.
What should I say in this situation?
”But…but! Now that we’ve collected all the coins, right? The one that kills the bugs will really survive, right?”
”Ah. Yes.”
Before I could even speak, caught in my awkward silence, my mother had already steered the conversation in the right direction.
Although it involved a slight sacrifice of my dignity, I received 10 coins in return. If a brief moment of shame could bring a smile to my mother’s face, then it was worth it.
”But how will it be delivered? By courier? Or by helicopter?”
”Well… we’ll only know after we buy it.”
”I really hope it arrives soon!”
Listening to my mother’s expectant voice, I operated the mobile phone.
Currently holding 36 coins.
Even if I buy an outfit that costs 30 coins, I’ll still have some left. If I save up a little more, I should be able to buy a weapon, right?

[(whether)]
I pressed ‘Yes’ without even realizing it.
At that very moment—
”Well.”
”Wow!”
With a flash of light, a clothes rack holding two bikinis appeared in front of us.
”Floating in the air…”
The bikini seemed to float as if it were only in a state of weightlessness in that area.
It’s not just the fact that objects appear out of thin air; the very sight of that part being in a state of weightlessness is too surreal.
Wow… online shopping these days is amazing…
The mother stared blankly at the floating bikini and sighed.
”…………That’s what I mean.”
That’s the only response I can give.
Our mother is definitely a big shot. To be so calm in the face of this.
”But will this really keep out insects just by wearing it?”
”You have to wear it. The instructions say ‘within 100 meters of the wearer’s range’.”
”Huh? Wear it? Who’s going to wear it?”
”…Huh? What did you mean, who’s wearing it?”
My mother looked at me. Her face said, “Changjae, do you want to wear this?”
It’s so absurd it leaves you speechless.
”Of course it’s your turn, Mom, to wear it.”
”I?!”
Logically speaking, how could I, as a man, possibly wear a bikini?
It’s definitely Mom who should wear it.
”Didn’t you buy it for yourself to wear?”
”No, I just… saw that it could repel insects, so I…”
The mother answered hesitantly, looking completely at a loss.
Oh my god. Although I knew I was attracted by the insect repellent function, I never expected that I would buy it without intending to wear it.
”Does Mom hate bugs?”
”…………Um.”
”Therefore, it must be you who wears it.”
”…”
”It’s better than just wearing underwear, isn’t it?”
This bikini seems to cover very little area at first glance. It’s not much different from the slip and lingerie set that Mom wears now.
Even so, it’s still better than walking around in just your underwear, right? At least that’s what I think.
”I… I didn’t plan to go out dressed like this…”
”But you’re already out. Wouldn’t it be better to stay in a bikini than to walk around in your underwear? It’ll keep out insects. Since you’ve already bought it, Mom, just put it on.”
”…………Um.”
After repeated persuasion, the mother finally nodded as if giving up her resistance.
Phew. Thank goodness. I almost wasted my precious gold coins.
As I grabbed the floating bikini, the swimsuit suddenly fell into my palm as if pulled by gravity.
Is this what it looks like when the game is brought to life? I handed the bikini back to my mother.
”You can change here. I’ll go out for a walk while I do this.”
Although it’s a necessary procedure, it’s taken too long. Now we need to quickly get a better understanding of the surrounding situation.
”No, no!”
But my mother rejected my suggestion in a hurried voice.
”What if the bugs come out again when I change my clothes?”
”Well…………”
”Changjae, stay here while Mom changes clothes. Didn’t you say that wearing this will repel insects? You’ll be safe after you change.”
”But…………”
”Hmm? Stay with Mom for a while. Mom wants to ask you this.”
My eyes were brimming with tears as I looked up at my mother.
The mother was not being unreasonable or rash. She was genuinely afraid.
”…Then, I’ll stay here with my back turned while you’re changing.”
”Okay! But you absolutely can’t peek, okay?”
”I won’t watch it.”
”Even if I call you, you have to come right away?”
”……good.”
You can’t peek, but you have to be available at a moment’s notice. It’s a really difficult problem.
Anyway, the spider shouldn’t appear again during the brief break while I’m changing into my swimsuit.
I stood with my arms crossed and my back to my mother.
”Changjae, you absolutely mustn’t peek. Mom will be watching you the whole time.”
Yes. Don’t worry.
”Really? Mom’s changing clothes now?”
”They all say it’s true.”
”Um……”
Only after her mother repeatedly reminded her did she begin to change her clothes.
-Shhhhh.
That must be the sound of my mother changing clothes.
I watched silently outside the cave, waiting for the sounds to subside.
The sky was gradually brightening with a hazy light. It must be sunrise. Tall trees, dense grass, giant rocks, and muddy ground were becoming visible in the dim light.
Is this really an uninhabited island that has maintained its original appearance?
…This is really tricky.
My mother didn’t even have a decent set of clothes and could only wear a tattered swimsuit.
I could manage with a swimsuit and a jacket, but I didn’t even have a pair of shoes to wear.
You can’t exactly walk around barefoot outside.
You might get pricked by stones or branches, or even encounter venomous snakes.
Oh dear, what should I do?
Leaving my mother alone in the cave is also a problem. There’s always the possibility of bad people coming and causing trouble. I don’t want to leave her alone until I’m sure she’s safe.
How about we buy a weapon for Mother to protect herself?
No… that won’t work either. A mother who wouldn’t even kill an insect, even with a weapon, couldn’t possibly deal with a wild beast or a thug.
Should we buy the shoes first? That way we can do it together.
『Ding-a-ling♪』
”Well?!”
Just as I was sorting out my chaotic thoughts, my phone beeped again.
What is it this time?
Just as I was about to take my phone out of my pocket to confirm, I heard a cheerful notification sound.
”Breaking news! Peek at your partner changing clothes!”
”What?!”
The mother, who was changing clothes, was so shocked by the absurd task coming from her phone that she raised her voice.
Complete unexpected missions to receive generous rewards!
”No! Changjae, you absolutely can’t watch! Do you understand?”
The terminal’s notification sound seemed to be urging me on.
My mother called out again urgently, as if she absolutely needed a clear answer from me.
But my eyes were glued to the reward screen on my phone.
[Sudden Mission: Peep at your partner’s naked body.]
[Time Limit: 5 minutes]
[Peeping at breasts, including the nipples]
[Reward: Sturdy and secure beach sandals (Rare outfit)]
[Safe to walk on even sharp pebble surfaces! Beach sandals that are more durable than hiking boots!]
[◎Peeping at genitals]
[Reward: Guardian Bracelet (Unique Outfit)]
[It can prevent the wearer from suffering minor injuries.]
”…Don’t worry, Mother. Even so, I won’t peek.”
”Really? You really can’t watch it?”
”Mother, please believe me just this once.”
I answered my mother’s anxious questions with a wry smile, staring at the screen as if I were about to pierce it.
……what to do?
I want both rewards.
Beach sandals are exactly what I need. I can’t let her walk barefoot; we’ll have to buy shoes sooner or later. Since there’s a chance to get them for free, I can’t miss it.
The same goes for the protective bracelet. Even a scratch from weeds on my scantily clad mother breaks my heart. Since it can prevent these kinds of minor cuts, I must get my hands on it.
Is there a way to get two rewards at the same time?
My mind had already veered towards the direction of ‘I must peek no matter what’s on my mind’.
At this moment, propriety was no longer a concern. Although it might temporarily incur her mother’s dislike, choosing the relatively safer path in a place where dangers lurked unknown was a logical decision.
Even if I have to kneel down and beg my mother for forgiveness later, I will reward myself for spying on her naked body right now.
But how do we do it?
My mother was a very wary person. Whether she changed her top or her bottom first, it was impossible to expose both her upper and lower body at the same time. This meant I needed to peek at her at least twice at the right moment.
I turned off my phone, and my mother’s image quietly appeared on the darkened screen.
My mother had already removed her bra and underwear. But she was using her arms to cover her breasts while watching me, seemingly still wary of whether I was spying on her as the phone claimed. Her suspicions about me didn’t seem to have subsided.
”Mom, are you done changing?”
”Ah, ah, not yet! You can’t look!”
He spoke in a calm tone, yet his words implied a sense of urgency.
To show that he had no intention of spying and that his mother was just overreacting.
”Please get dressed quickly. You can’t take too long.”
”Ah, um… I’m sorry…”
So my mother seemed to assume that I really didn’t intend to peek, and she lowered her arms that were covering her chest, unfolded her bikini bra, and prepared to put it on.
—Now!
-Thud!
I pretended to look out the window, but the moment my mother’s chest was exposed without her noticing, I suddenly turned my head.
”ah!”
My mother’s gaze was directed in my direction.
Nature immediately noticed my spying.
”Aaaaaaah!!”
The mother screamed and fell to the ground.
But in that brief moment, the image was etched into my mind.
The twin peaks that outlined the beautiful curves, and the pair of cherry-colored nipples that stood proudly atop the peaks.
『Ding-a-ling♪』
Please forgive me, Mother.
All of this is for you.
