Chapter 465: Giant of the Grasslands 5
Han Se-ah and I were walking a tightrope.
A precarious balance where one slip meant falling into the abyss.
I needed to subtly convey that Roland wasn't just an NPC but human, guiding her to clear the game. If I failed this balancing act, I'd probably be trapped in the game forever, dying as an NPC reduced to data fragments.
Han Se-ah's tightrope was obviously dealing with our night together. Though it felt somewhat self-inflicted and I was responsible for preventing the reset... well, she shouldn't have peeked at night. If she hadn't been such a voyeur, maybe we'd have found another way.
"Speaking of capturing ogres, where would we keep something that big?"
"We'll have to ask the Magic Tower about that too. They'd probably make space if they think of it as storing research specimens."
"Or we could ask the stone dwarves to dig underground caves."
"True, master craftsmen like stone dwarves could probably make really sturdy chains?"
Thanks to this, even as Grace and Irene discussed ogre capture plans while giving me suggestive looks, the viewers' minds were in the gutter.
