Chapter 8 – Having a Son but Being a Virgin

Rosamia and I went back to the drawing room and continued our conversation.

“Congratulations. Fortunately, the medicine worked.”
“Yes. All… Thanks to Seonwoo. Really… Thank you.”
“Not much to say. By the way… Did that completely cure your son’s curse?”

At my words, Rosa Mia shook her head and said.

“No. As I said before… We don’t know how to completely cure the curse. However, the medicine Lee Seon-woo gave us has the effect of restoring our elves’ vitality at once… If we can take it regularly, we can continue to live. I think it’s possible to extend it.”

Saying that, Rosamia began to look at me.

It was obvious what she wanted to say.

“Does that mean… You want to keep asking me for medicine?”
“That… If possible…”

Rosamia’s voice gradually fades.

Of course. Earlier, I handed over the vitamins as if they were very precious medicines.

Besides, the drug actually saved Allen from her crisis.

To me, it’s just a rotten vitamin pill, but from her point of view, it’s truly a rare medicine.

To ask you to keep providing such a valuable item would feel like a shameless request.

“…”
“I’m sorry…”

As I continued to be silent, Rosa Mia showed her restlessness, and then she began to plead with me again as she knelt on her floor again.

“I-I’m asking you this, Mr. Seonwoo. I’ll do anything I can…!”

I looked down at Rosa Mia and put a hearty smile on her lips.

Good.

Things are going well beyond imagination.

But this is where it matters.

You have to sew the first button well so that your future plans will be smooth.

In fact, the reason I checked the effect of the drug first was to buy time to come up with a specific plan.

Of course, now my mind is all sorted out.

I put my hand on Rosamia’s shoulder and said in a soft voice.

“Calm down, Rosa Mia. I’m not so heartless as to pull her off now.”
“Well, then…”
“But… Even though I want to keep providing the medicine, I have other problems.”
“Another pair of boots?”
“Yes. It would take a long time to be specific, but to sum it up, money is tight.”
“…Money?”

As expected, the word ‘money’ seemed to be a fairly unfamiliar concept to the elves. Elves won’t do financial transactions with each other.

But Rosamia is different.

Even in her childhood, she had the experience of living in human society.

More than anything, didn’t she herself go up for auction with her auction items?

I explained it simply, and Rosamia luckily understood right away.

“So… Even if Seonwoo wants to get some medicine, he can’t because he doesn’t have enough money.”
“That’s right. It’s embarrassing, but I’m not that rich either.
“That…”

When Rosa Mia’s expression turned to despair again, I quickly added her words.

“However, it’s not like there’s no way.”
“…Yes?”

Rosamia’s eyes widened with tears.

I told her in her whisper.

“It’s impossible if I’m alone… But if Rosamia-san cooperates with me… There’s a way to make a lot of money. To the point where I can keep buying medicine.”
“Is it really?”
“Yes. Would you like to listen?”
“Sure…!”

When she said there was a way to get her medicine, Rosa Mia replied in an exasperated voice, wiping her eyes.

Before I knew it, I couldn’t find the wary look in my eyes when I first saw me.

I laughed inwardly and took out my smartphone from my chest.

“Has my father ever shown you anything like this?”
“This…”

Rosa Mia looked at her smartphone and shook her head.

“No. I’m not sure. What is this object for?”
“Hmm. Then I’ll have to explain from the beginning.”

Well, since he’s the kind of person who leaves paper photos like that in this day and age, that’s understandable.

I simply manipulated my smartphone and took a picture of Rosamia using the camera function and showed it to her.

“Ah…”
“Yes. As you can see, it has the same function as that picture. Of course, that’s not all the functions of this object…”
“Wow, that’s great.”
“It’s still too early to be surprised. These things are possible.”

I said so and this time I used her video recording function to take pictures of her Rosa Mia and the things around her and showed them to her.

“It’s really amazing. Being able to record the passing time as a moving picture… But how can I make money with it?”
“Whoops… You’ll understand that naturally if you look at this.”

Lastly, I selected one of the phonetube videos that were stored on my smartphone and showed it.

As soon as I played the video, a loud moan and the sound of flesh crashing began to flow from the smartphone.

‘Haaang! Make it more intense, oppa!’

Phut! Phut!

“Kyaaak?”

Rosa Mia jumped behind her in surprise. But I calmed her down with her nonchalant voice.

“Don’t be surprised, Rosamia. This is just a ‘recorded’ video, just like I did.”
“Ah… Yes. I’m sorry…”

The video had already been turned off, but Rosamia was still at a loss as if her cheeks were burning. As a married woman with a child, isn’t the reaction too fresh?

“For reference, this video was not filmed by me, but someone else filmed it and bought it with money. Simply put, in my world, you can buy and sell videos recorded this way.”
“That… I see.”
“Do you get a sense now? How am I going to make money?”
“…”

To my question, Rosa Mia only rolled her trembling eyes around, but she could not answer easily.

But that response itself was already a great answer for me.

I gave Rosamia a soft voice.

“Mr. Rosamia. Think back to your childhood. The humans enslaved the elves and bought and sold them for money. Compared to that, this is nothing? They don’t directly buy and sell people, only videos are sold. Because it is.”
“That… I know. But…”

Rosa Mia can hardly nod her head and she hesitates.

What?

Son’s life… She didn’t seem like a woman who could only bring up shame or chastity when the fate of the elves was at stake.

Are there other issues I’m not aware of?

Rosamia finally opened her mouth and asked me in a low voice.

“If I do this… I guess I will have that… Relationship with Mr. Seonwoo, right?”
“Well, that’s…”

I didn’t say it outright, but of course it would.

Are you saying you don’t like me?

Shit. I would never have thought that filthy lookism would be rampant in elven society.

“Um…Mr. Rosamia. Of course, you wouldn’t feel very comfortable with a guy like me…”
“It’s not like that!”
“No?”
“Yes…”
“Then what’s the matter…”

Rosa Mia put on a look that she was sorry she didn’t know what to do, then she said again she bowed her head to me.

“I’m so sorry, Seonwoo-san! As a Guardian, I have to keep my virginity no matter what… It’s impossible to have a relationship with Seonwoo-san…! So somehow… Can you find another way?”
“…Eh?”

What did this woman just say?

“Hey… Wasn’t Rosamia Allen’s mother?”
“…That’s right.”

But what purity?

The question was soon resolved.

“Actually, Allen is not my own child. As a guardian, I signed a contract with the spirit tree… Because I have to keep my chastity… I cannot marry another man.”
“Spirit water? Ah…”

Are you talking about that ignorantly large tree that stood tall in the center of the village?

“Yes. The spirit tree is like a guardian spirit that protects our elven village. The reason we were able to return to the forest after being polluted by humans is because of the grace of the spirit tree.”
“Hmm. I see.”

It’s not just a big tree, it’s like a guardian spirit.

If you’re such a proud being, I wonder if you shouldn’t have protected it from humans in the first place.

“Then Allen’s real parents are…”
“Yes. Both of them have already returned to the arms of the Spirit Beast. Not to mention the father’s side, the mother’s side too… When an elf loses a companion, the other doesn’t live very long either. Sorrow makes even the body sick. Because it does.”
“In other words, Rosa Mia-san is raising someone else’s child as her son?”
“It’s not someone else. Allen’s parents were very dear friends to me… Even though I didn’t give birth to him, Allen is definitely my son.”
“Okay.”

The story leaked out for a while, but I understood roughly what he meant.

“You mean you can’t have physical relations with me, because you are a body that needs to be kept clean.”
“Yes. I’m really… Sorry.”
“Hmm…”

To be honest, I didn’t expect this until now.

Everywhere I look, I can’t imagine that she was a virgin.

“I’m asking just in case… What will happen if Miss Rosamia loses her virginity?”
“That… That’s just what I heard from my predecessors… ‘Elves will no longer be elves’… So it’s clear that something terrible will happen.”
“An elf will cease to be an elf…”
“Yes. So breaking the contract with the spirit beast is absolutely impossible.”

I honestly don’t know what you’re talking about.

It’s clear that it smells quite dangerous.

But I can’t just say “Yes” Or “I’m like that” And make concessions to everyone.

There is no reason to live as a Hogu in this world.

There’s this woman… It seems that she keeps projecting her father from me… She’s not in a good mood.

Sooner or later, I will have to show that I am a completely different person from my father.

“Well, that’s good. The point is, as long as Miss Rosamia doesn’t lose her virginity, there’s nothing wrong with that, right?”
“Yes?”

Perhaps my tone sounded odd, Rosa Mia opened her eyes wide.

“Then there’s nothing to worry about. Even if you don’t have to take Rosamia’s virginity away, you can shoot as many videos as you want to make money.”
“What is that…”
“Let’s see… Oh, this sounds good.”

I selected one of the videos stored on my smartphone and showed it to Rosamia again.

‘Hah… Whoops… Haang. Oppa’s, it’s too big… It won’t fit in her mouth, oh…’

“!”

The content of the video was none other than a video of a woman giving a fellatio to a man.

“If it’s something like this, Rosamia-san can do it enough, right? It’s not really an act of stealing one’s virginity. If you say that you can’t do even this much… I can’t help but doubt Rosamia-san’s love for her son.”
“I’m sorry…”

At my smirk, Rosa Mia said, shaking her shoulders.

“I didn’t believe it, but you’re… You’re closer to the humans here than to the master.”
“Hey, did you realize that now?”

Rosamia glared at me with an indignant expression.

Needless to say, the meaning of that expression was hate and contempt for me.

She felt a chill go through her back, as her eyes met her head on.

I never thought the day would come when I would threaten such a beauty.

In the original world, I would never have dreamed of doing something like this.

But here, anything is possible.

Things that could only be done in virtual worlds or delusions… Anything is possible in this world.

No matter what you do, you will not be punished.

And I can do anything for them.

I stood up from her chair and looked down at Rosa Mia on her knees.

“Roza Mia. You seem to have expected the same tenderness from me because of her memories of her father… But you got it very wrong. Because I, I really hate my father.”

As I watched Rosa Mia’s expression turn to despair, I drew a deep smile on her lips.
