Chapter 69: Classic Masterpiece [The Tale of Chunhyang]

    Classic Masterpiece [The Tale of Chunhyang]

    When you step into the gate, the expectation is to immediately take in the surrounding landscape. But in the current situation, everything''s blanketed in white, leaving nothing distinguishable.

    I recall the first encounter with the chubby author, stuck in a space where no matter how fast I drove, there was no escape.

    Wondering if I was trapped, a message window decided to pop up, seemingly denying that notion.

    This is the story before [Byeon Satto] appears.

    Feel free to act freely until the incident occurs!

    ———————————————————

    What a load of garbage. Counting the times of eating and discarding?

    While other details might be on point, that one is beyond comprehension. Never in my existence have I discarded someone after fucking them, or, well, eating them. And now, it''s passing judgment on me like this?

    Having my track record from my original world scrutinized is de?ja? vu from the previous hallucination dungeon, but employing it as a yardstick for arbitrary judgment struck me as excessive.

    Pure love may be a myth, but I take pride in living by the principles of lovers. It''s ludicrous that a gate information window is trying to negate my life.

    This is ridiculous...

    In an instant, as my mood soured, another notification popped up.

    ———————————

    Your role is [Byeon Satto].

    Although your real name is Byeon Hakdo, you might be more acquainted with Byeon Satto.

    In the Classic Masterpiece [The Tale of Chunhyang], the clear conditions vary depending on the assigned role.

    The role of Byeon Satto is... You already know, right? You should be familiar since you have always done it!

    Congratulations on winning the most optimal role.

    Byeon Satto''s skill possession list:

    :: Corrupt, Comply, Caning ::

    "I''ll handle it myself, so don''t sweat it."

    "That''s the fifth time you''ve assured me. How much longer should I endure discrimination, waiting for these unreliable promises?"

    It might have been smooth sailing until yesterday, but yesterday''s pimp and today''s pimp are two entirely different entities.

    The pimp might have exercised control over the courtesans through past experiences, but I lack that skill. Even now, just looking at her, it seemed like she was expressing anger with tightly clenched hands.

    In movies and such, pimps occasionally resort to violence, but that''s not what I want.

    "I''m going to make arrangements for you today, so don''t worry about it, okay?"

    My tone was all over the place, unsure of how to articulate it precisely. Nonetheless, these facets will gradually refine themselves.

    "I trust you. I''m heading out then."

    "Yeah, go ahead."

    I watched as she waved her hand, leaving the room.

    So that''s how it is...

    I''ve just gotten a lot of information out of that conversation. The most significant revelation is the subtle difference from the original work.

    In the original, Chunhyang is the daughter of a courtesan, but there are many ambiguous points suggesting otherwise. The crucial detail being that she''s just the offspring of a courtesan, never having taken up the profession herself. But here, she''s affiliated with the courtesan house.

    With her aversion to work, it appears she''s already romantically involved with Yi Mongryong. It might even precede any formal marriage.

    Thinking of her as a woman disinterested in nightly activities due to newfound love is quite plausible. Her beauty, coupled with ties to the magistrate''s son, makes her an untouchable figure.

    She utters anything, and Yi Mongryong might appear, stirring up a commotion. However, leaving Chunhyang as she is would be squandering her beauty, and the losses won''t be confined to just this.

    I''ve grasped the situation.

    "Where''s this woman, Chunhyang?" I barge out of the room, infusing my coarse words with every ounce of toughness.

    Snatching the arm of the woman who exited earlier, I put on a fac?ade of anger. Moments ago, she seemed composed, but my angry demeanor seems to have blossomed flowers on her face.

    Finally, with my gaze that said I would get my retribution, her mouth opened,. "S-She''s meeting the young master..."

    "No one even arranged her hair, and he''s meeting the young master. That slut must be out of her damn mind."

    The inability to directly or indirectly interfere with the story is a tale of Byeon Satto. The temporary role Pimp I currently hold has no relevance.

    It''s probably an error since I barged into the gate meant for Kim Minsoo''s solo venture. Byeon Satto and Pimp weren''t meant to make an appearance, but it seems the plot has taken an unexpected turn.

    Minsoo, what kind of Yi Mongryong are you? You need to make sense.

    I have no intention of loosening my grip, waiting for Byeon Satto''s cue.

    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    "How can you be so cheerful, young master?"

    "Really? Hehe... Hehehehe... Well, do you find me that amusing?"

    "I truly do."

    "Wahahaaha!"

    A voice, clear as if dew were forming on a jade plate, echoed. A woman with a face that could turn heads on the street was wearing a smile.

    Her meticulously arranged bangs adorned a smooth and tidy forehead. Below them, her eyes were round and sparkling like a rabbit''s, and her nose, cute and perky. Her lips, resembling a ripe apricot, a beauty beyond comparison.

    A woman so stunning that the moon might blush, and fish could forget how to breathe underwater.

    Seong Chunhyang.

    "Chunhyang, I like you so much."

    "It''s embarrassing..."

    "Wuhahaha!" Kim Minsoo, in the midst of conversing with Chunhyang, laughed as if his ears were on the verge of tearing apart.
