The Salvation Decision
This... how am I supposed to wear this!!
A top and bottoms made of black, white, and blue.
But the top only barely covers the chest area, and the pants are completely short. The gloves and shoes are standard, so I like them, but the clothes are too revealing.
At this level, it's like rags—more skin exposed than covered.
Of course, the functionality and convenience I emphasized look good. Hoo... but it's too embarrassing!
“The reaction is good? You like it?”
Is this how it's interpreted?
“I like it, I like it. Seeing what you like makes my heart flutter. Hey... I usually don't provide services, but wait.”
Service?
Hearing the word “service” suddenly makes me feel good.
After waiting a while, Choi Joo-hyun brought a large jacket.
“Ah... this is really expensive. I'll give it to you!”
“Thank you.”
Oh... this looks like good material just by looking. The feel is different.
“In return, we'll see each other often.”
“Yes!”
I unconsciously let out a loud voice.
“Try it on now.”
...That might be a bit much.
“No. I'll try it on later.”
“Why?! It would suit you well? Try it on, quickly.”
Absolutely no way.
Well, I have to wear it someday. But not today.
Just as I was turning to leave.
“If you wear it, I'll give you a discount next time too.”
An irresistible offer came.
No, it's a rejectable offer. After all, I'll have to pry the stones again. Money is always lacking no matter how much I have... but would I be swayed by just a few percent discount...
It might be.
Money is precious.
Yes.
You learn when you go hungry.
You realize when you barely pay the rent. Yeah, this is just some kind of safety net in case of unforeseen emergencies?
I wasn't swayed by the discount, and it's not like I'm wearing it because I'm curious about my new appearance.
Yeah yeah, the more thoroughly prepared, the better, so I can save the discounted money later to spend on something good.
And after all, I'm going to wear it!!
Where did the special forces spirit I've trained for years go? I didn't train with sweat and blood for this day...
Let's stop thinking about retreating.
It's time to make the salvation decision.
“Inside, there's a place to change clothes.”
But... why does that person want to see me changing clothes?
Before entering the dressing room. Asking.
“But... why do you want to see my changed appearance even though you're losing money?”
“Huh?”
A business person making a judgment that they are losing money? Why? Asking us to use the store often? That's already over. Suspicious, very suspicious.
“Just.”
“Yes?”
“Um... what should I say. Really just? My customers like seeing me in the equipment I got?”
“You made it yourself?”
“I make them sometimes. That jacket, I made it.”
Hmm...? The creator's pure desire?
Choi Joo-hyun stares fixedly at her eyes. No shaking at all. It's like the expression of someone answering “Is there a reason? Because it's delicious” to the question “Why do you like samgyeopsal?”
Well... admit it.
“I understand.”
Enters the dressing room.
Unties the rubber band of the super large pants.
The pants slide down smoothly.
Aaaah.
Again, the lower body is completely exposed.
Good... I should buy everything from underwear to daily wear and outerwear.
After changing and coming out.
“Oh... it's fine. It suits you well.”
Pure admiration came.
“Is that so? Thank you.”
Looking at my appearance through the full-length mirror inside. Thanks to the jacket, it seems not bad?
“Since I got a good show, I'll give you a discount next time too.”
“I'll come again next time.”
Well... the person seems a bit strange, but rather, that might be the charm of this place. Solved the stone transaction, solved the equipment transaction, and became indebted to Byeolbaembaem.
I should express sincere gratitude later.
After walking around the city in combat clothes, I finished changing back.
Currently located in the heart of Seoul, with a huge number of people.
Even though two big incidents have happened in the world since the first tower appeared, humans' resilience is truly amazing.
Of course, rural or remote areas still have serious damage.
Hoo....
In my 28 years of life, I've never been to a clothing store even 10 times. I've been to PC bangs countless times.
I could have ordered clothes online, but I decided not to.
If I do that, it would be like never leaving the room for life...
Don't act like a coward.
Straight forward.
The second salvation decision of the day.
I'm going to enter anywhere. The first place that catches my eye.
I said that... but no, clothing stores everywhere. Too many!
Forget it. Enter the nearby one.
Buying clothes was surprisingly not that difficult.
The store clerk stuck to me in the middle and I was flustered, but I calmly regained composure.
Anyway! I got headbands as a bonus too.
How much did I spend? It seems I spent almost a million won.
Well, it ended well anyway, good.
Both hands full of shopping bags.
Now... it's time for the third salvation decision...
Tsk... should I just buy online?
......
No!! There is no retreat even if there is a counterattack!
Move at least one step even if you're hesitating.
Reaching the store in front.
Underwear store....
Damn! Damn!
Don't say damn lightly. I have to wear them anyway. Haa, but it looks so deserted.
My feet seem stuck with super strong adhesive, can't easily lift. The surrounding noise gradually fades. The vision is spinning.
Go!!!
If you're going to hesitate like that, your balls! They're already gone. Okay.
Nothing more to lose.
“Welcome~”
“H-hello!”
“Are you looking for a product or a style you want?”
“Um....”
“Well...”
I unconsciously gave a weird answer.
“Ahaha, since you came to pick directly, it's embarrassing, right?”
Yes... right?
“I'll tell you slowly, shall we find something that fits your body together? Which school do you go to?”
School...? I don't go to school?
“I'm doing homeschooling!”
“Hmm... I see.”
It seems she asked to find out if I was a middle schooler or elementary schooler, and I unconsciously gave an unexpected answer.
“Please wait a moment~”
The employee left with a relaxed smile.
Hoo... hoo....
Looks like going to the counter to talk to a colleague.
Huh? I hear voices.
“Is it around AA rather than AAA?”
“Yeah, seems so.”
Why do I hear it. Don't listen, don't listen! Is it because I awakened as a hunter? If I cover my ears, it would be even weirder?
“It seems you came alone without parents, amazing.”
“By the way, cut it out. Your blushing face is cute.”
Iya ya ya ya ya ya ya.
If I measure the temperature of my face now, how many degrees would it be?
40 degrees? 50 degrees?
The employee who responded to me approaches me holding an underwear box. A smile of extreme admiration is on her face.
“This should be fine.”
“Yes, yes. Thank you... I'll buy immediately.”
I want to leave... quickly.
Tower!! I want to climb the tower!
“Can I do it on layaway?”
“Yes!”
“Thank you. Please visit again later!”
“Thank you!”
Hah... hah... the outside air full of fine dust can be this sweet.
Drinking the air as if drinking water in gulps.
Hoo...
It's done. It's done!
Bought equipment, clothes, underwear, everything.
Let's go home.
Even though it seems like I've been lying on the bed for a long time, my cheeks still feel hot.
Still, I calmed down a lot.
Should I get up.
If I bought it, I have to wear it. I bought it for that reason.
Looking at the shopping bags scattered on the floor. I bought a lot.
Gets up from the seat and picks up the clothes.
Did I become stronger through the salvation decision? I wasn't particularly embarrassed or ashamed while changing.
The pain that can't kill me makes me stronger. Yeah, I grew too.
Picks up the chair and heads to the bathroom.
Wow...
... It's pretty.
I was admiring myself... it's possible.
Surprisingly calm. Rather, I thought it was fortunate that it's pretty.
Since I changed, it's better that it's pretty.
I almost burst my face from embarrassment, but now I'm starting to smile.
People are really strange things.
Perhaps because my mind is calm, I've been living comfortably these few days. I've been climbing the tower steadily too.
But I haven't posted any certification posts on the gallery anymore.
I held it in for today.
Thanks to that, the gallery is in chaos.
Burn hotter.
I'll clear the 10th floor boss fight.
Did I hold back for 5 days? Anyway, whether 4 or 5 days, it's time to release the concentrated dopamine.
Hoo...
I gathered enough info on the 10th floor from Snake Gallery.
Information status good.
Takes out the gun from inventory and examines it from various angles.
Firearm status good.
Lowers the gaze and moves the body around while examining the outfit.
Fully exposed navel, legs, armpits.
Still, it's really comfortable for activity.
Outfit status too... good!
All preparations are complete.
Entering the Tower!
