BLBJ 5.1

Offense and Defense

“Well, I got a donation. Should I dance or something?” Eizen barely managed to open his mouth.

💬Wouldn’t it be better to show something more intense than a dance?

💬First, let’s buy the affinity potion.

Eizen bowed his head and bought the affinity potion.

‘Though I have no intention of showing anything intense.’

It was a relief not to have to show a donation reaction. Anyway, since the money was given to buy the affinity potion, it should be poured into that.

The competitive donations, the money from NoMoney, and the ad revenue all combined to easily surpass 250.

‘Still, let’s just buy four for now.’

Christian already had one.

[Affinity Potion purchased]

Four notifications popped up.

Eizen stared blankly at the small heart-shaped bottle.

💬Come to think of it, doesn’t Mr. Eizen’s beauty seem to shine even brighter?

💬Yeah. You’re right. Seeing the actual screenshot, the graphics really look more polished.

💬Wow, they’re tweaking the graphics in real-time.

Hearing that, Eizen stared blankly at the mirror. Maybe because it was his own face, he didn’t feel any drastic change, but something about it looked subtly different.

Didn’t they say charm increases based on likes? With likes nearing 500, it seemed some change had indeed occurred.

‘Is that good? It must be good, right?’

Well, it’s a BL game, so having charm is good. 

Eizen shrugged, immediately checking the locations of the capture targets.

🏰[Christian – Count Felpertin’s Mansion]

📚[Bartholomew – Forest]

⛪[Pike – Temple]

🏛️[Tennes – Imperial Palace]

👑[Jeremiah – Imperial Palace]

➤ Detailed location information will be displayed when moving to the respective point

‘Where the hell is the forest?’

“Who should I visit first?”

💬The Imperial Palace! Two people are there!

💬The Temple!

💬Let’s go to the forest first.

💎[ChristianAkgae donated 100,000 won] — First, we should go find the affinity potion for Christian.

💎[MewMew#1Fan donated 110,000 won] — Let’s go to the forest first.

Whether competition had flared up or not, people pushing for each capture target were chattering frantically.

Eizen pursed his lips. The atmosphere felt like riots might break out if anyone here made a decision. But meeting everyone simultaneously wasn’t an option either.

“Th-then, let’s go to Pike first, partly to return his cloak.”

💬Pike!

💬Will that ascetic paladin’s eyes roll back if he drinks an affinity potion?

💬I’m looking forward to it.

The backlash was less than expected. Sighing in relief, Eizen picked up the neatly folded cloak and headed toward the temple.

“Things seem to be progressing slower than expected. Is that okay?”

💬Just seeing your face, Eizen, is always fresh and fun.

💬I’m excited because it feels like we’re about to XX.

💬XX!XX!

💬Hahahahahaha

💬I wonder what effect the affinity potion has.

💬Come to think of it, the Secret Shop was a reward, right?

💬What do they sell in the Secret Shop?

💬Secret stuff.

💬Ah, boring.

Perhaps because the pace wasn’t that fast from the start, no one really objected.

Eizen walked toward the temple, feeling slightly relieved.

⛪[Pike – Temple – Lodging]

💬Guess we should head to the lodging?

💬Wanna grab a baguette first?

💬You didn’t even get to eat ramen yesterday.

💬I got dumped.

💬You got dumped?!

💬No, I mean, they said they’d give me tea, but they didn’t.

💬Who’s responsible for the dad jokes today?

💬Let’s refrain, please.

‘Where is the lodging…’

He spotted it immediately upon looking around. There was only one plain, large building.

Eizen strode purposefully toward it.

⛪[Pike – Temple – Lodging (3rd Floor)]

The moment he entered the building, the location became clearer. Without needing to ask anyone, he walked straight up to the 3rd floor.

💬But Pike, isn’t he a bit… questionable for a top?

💬Why?

💬He’s not rich.

💬Ah, that’s true.

💬Please don’t judge a man’s worth based on money alone.

💬Mr. ImBuyingAPenis is mad, lololol.

💬A top just needs a proper face and a baguette-shaped X.

💬Honestly, as long as that part is sturdy, it’s livable.

💬That’s why they say “pillar husband.”

💬That pillar was… that pillar?

💬Yep, exactly.

Eizen glanced at the chat window, took a shallow breath, and arrived on the third floor.

⛪[Pike – Temple – Lodging (3F Room 7)]

‘How considerate.’

So there is a reason they’re highlighting it like this. With that thought, he slowly approached Room 7. It was a room almost halfway along the corridor.

Eizen lightly shook the cloak in his hand once more before knocking on the door.

Without even asking who it was, the door swung open abruptly.

“Brother?” A faint crack appeared on Pike’s rigid face, clearly visible.

💬He’s flustered lol

💬Well, he did grope his chest yesterday, so it’s understandable he’d be flustered now.

💬Could it be… did he go to his room and… do it alone?

💬Did he do it while thinking of Eizen?

Ignoring the chat filled with embarrassingly explicit talk since noon, Eizen gave a slight smile to the slightly flustered-looking Pike.

“I haven’t even had a chance to thank you for yesterday.”
“There’s no need to thank me, Brother. Anyone would have done the same.”
“And I should return your cloak.”

When Eizen offered the neatly folded cloak, Pike snatched it roughly.

A moment of silence passed. Pike frowned as if pondering something, then let out a small sigh.

“Come in.”
“Ah, is that alright?”

Eizen didn’t refuse. After all, he had to administer the affinity potion.

He fiddled with the four vials in his pocket. The only silver lining was that they were small, meaning the dosage needed was minimal. If the vials had been large, and he’d had to administer a huge amount, it would have been disastrous.

Pike’s room was truly sparse. A desk, a chair, a bed, a single hanger with identical clothes neatly arranged, and one drawer.

“Would you like some tea?”
“Ah, yes. Please.”

💬So in the end, Mr. Eizen gets to drink the tea.

💬Let’s eat the baguette and go!

💬First, let’s mix and drink the affinity Potion.

Seeing the anxious viewers’ chat, Eizen gripped the affinity potion tightly. He was slightly afraid of what effect this potion might have. What if it was some kind of aphrodisiac?

‘Really, with a man…’

How far would it go? He’d never even imagined having sex with a man, so he couldn’t say anything.

Eizen let out a small sigh. When he’d first started this BL game, he’d imagined it would involve just a little physical contact. But before he knew it, they were kissing. And doing even more intense things.

Eizen’s legs trembled nervously. He really should drink the Affinity Potion. But the aftermath terrified him.

Let’s drink them one by one, fairly.
Christian has one. Do we just need to buy four more?
Is it 200 now?

Whether they knew what Eizen was thinking or not, the viewers continued cheering, buoyed by the strong support of the big-spending patron, NoMoney.

💬What happens if we drink the affinity potion?

💬Doesn’t it make you a rutting alpha or something?

‘What the hell is a rutting alpha?’

Everyone laughed and enjoyed themselves despite the cryptic, incomprehensible words. Eizen frowned slightly.

“Here you go.”
“Thanks.”

There wasn’t really anywhere to sit. Eizen perched on the bed, and Pike sat in the chair at the desk. Silence fell once more.

“I wonder if you, brother, slept comfortably.”
“Thanks to you, I slept well. I’m also grateful for the treatment.”

Meaningless conversation continued. Eizen stared blankly at Pike’s lips as he sipped his tea little by little.

‘I need to add an affinity potion to that.’

To do that, Pike would have to set down the cup and step away for a moment, or turn his back.

Eizen quickly scanned the surroundings. The room was truly empty, and too cramped to even do anything.

💬Oh dear, at this rate, he’ll finish the tea!

💬Just pour it into his mouth.

Just as the audience grew more restless and began to riot, there was a perfectly timed knock at the door.

“Excuse me for a moment.”

Pike set his cup on the desk and sprang to his feet.

‘Now!’

Eizen swiftly pulled an affinity potion from his pocket, uncapped it, and poured it into Pike’s cup. Pink liquid dripped into the cup with a gurgling sound.

“What is it?”
“Brother Pike, I came to inform you that the order has changed…”

A brief exchange followed between Pike and the other person.

Eizen pretended nothing was wrong, slumped back onto the bed, and fidgeted nervously, hoping the affinity Potion would mix well into the tea.

‘It was pink. What if the color gives it away? Or if it tastes different.’

Pike, having finished the brief exchange, returned to his seat.

“My apologies.”
“It’s fine.”

Eizen watched anxiously, hoping Pike would pick up the cup again.

Pike’s large hand grasped the cup.

💬Drink it! Drink it!

💬One shot!

💬I’m so nervous to see what’s going to happen.

Watching the chat window, Eizen tensed up alongside the viewers and clenched his fist.

Pike drank the tea inside without a second thought.

“…”

He didn’t say it tasted weird or smelled strange. Not a word. And the moment the last sip slid past his throbbing Adam’s apple, a notification popped up.

[Quest Complete]
★ Use the Affinity Potion
[Reward]
★ The Secret Shop is now accessible

[The Secret Shop opens for 24 hours after using the Affinity Potion]

💬Whoa! Looks like the secret shop is different for each capture target.

💬Let’s start by opening Pike’s!

💬Wasn’t it supposed to open right away?

No matter how hard Eizen searched, the Secret Shop wasn’t open. It seemed like the quest reward had just been received, meaning it would take effect now.

‘Do I really have to feed him another affinity potion?’

Eizen glanced sideways at Pike. He looked to see if something had changed.

Their eyes met. It felt like something had subtly shifted. Eizen unconsciously swallowed dryly.

💬But… hasn’t Pike’s vibe changed a bit?

💬After getting the affinity potion, one more!

💬His gaze is different now.

Had his affinity really increased?

Eizen fiddled with the affinity potions in his pocket. He’d used one on Pike. Now he had three left.

‘Open the Secret Shop? Or not?’

Anyway, if he gave affinity potions to other capture targets, the Secret Shop would open for them too. So wouldn’t it be fair to open it for Pike first?

💬If we open the secret shop, don’t we have to buy what’s inside again?

💬Someone without money will take care of it for us!

💬Lolololol.

💬I wish we could buy the XX ability.

💬First, let’s open the secret shop.

💬If we open it this time, we can handle other characters’ secret shops calmly later.

💎[ImBuyingAPenis donated 100,000 won] — You haven’t even kissed Pike properly yet!

💬So unfair, lolololol

💬Do it for Mr. ImBuyingAPenis’s sake!

Eizen pursed his lips. He’d definitely done things he shouldn’t have with others, but with Pike, there really hadn’t been anything significant yet.

‘He did touch my chest, though. Isn’t that better than touching my dick?’

Truthfully, Eizen felt a bit relieved about it. Feeling a sense of relief, perhaps, that while feeding Christian an affinity potion would likely cause chaos, it might be somewhat acceptable for Pike.

“Um, Pike. Could I have some more tea?”
“Certainly.”

Pike slowly rose, took two cups, and returned with freshly poured hot tea.

‘How will it turn out this time?’

He stared at the door, hoping for the luck of someone knocking again, but as expected, that luck didn’t come.

Eizen gripped the affinity potion tightly in one hand and crept slowly toward Pike.

“Pike.”
“What is it, brother?”

Eizen stood, subtly blocking the cup. Behind him, he fumbled for the cup and poured the affinity potion into it.

“Ah, it’s nothing. I really appreciate it.”

“Glad nothing serious happened.” Pike answered flatly, then quietly looked away. 

In both their minds, the moment of Pike applying the ointment to Eizen’s body lingered.

Eizen gave a small, hollow cough.

“Ahaha. Well, that’s a relief. It’s not alcohol, but shall we toast?”
“Understood.”

The second affinity Potion slid down Pike’s throat.

[Secret Shop Opens]
[♥Secret Shop – Pike♥]
[Time Remaining: 23:59:59]

💬It’s opennnnn!

💬Pike’s Secret Shop!

Eizen glanced warily at Pike before opening [♥Secret Shop – Pike♥]. To anyone unaware, it must have looked utterly suspicious.

‘Please, let there be nothing weird in here.’

As he prayed fervently and looked at the list, Eizen froze solid.

💬Who said Pike would be a pervert, lololol?

💬Spot on.

💬His tastes are showing.

Viewers flooded the chat with capital letters.

Eizen just gnawed nervously on his lip.

[♥Secret Shop – Pike♥]

[Priest Robes]
[Whip]
[Candle]
[Paddle]
[Urethral Plug]
[Nipple Clamps]
[Rocking Horse]

‘Are you crazy?’

These aren’t exactly the kind of items you’d expect from the secret shop of a holy paladin who preached abstinence, right?

‘And what’s with the horse?’

Eizen’s legs trembled slightly. Just looking at the items above, he got the distinct feeling this wasn’t going to end well.

💬The list is insane, lololololol.

💬Let’s go ride the horse.

💬Of course, Eizen will be the one using it, right?

💬What’s with the priest outfit, hehehe. It’s boldly right at the front.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Pike asked in a stiff tone.

Eizen wanted to shout as loud as he could.

‘A secret shop for the pervert of perverts, with a face like he doesn’t even have sexual desires!’

Betrayal made his body tremble violently.

Regardless. Pike’s rough palm touched Eizen’s finely quivering cheek.

“Are you hurt somewhere?”
“Get away.”

He barely swallowed the words, ‘You pervert.’ The moment Eizen roughly slapped Pike’s hand away, the tea spilled from the cup he held.

In an instant, his clothes were soaked through.

‘Shit!’

💬Can’t be helped. Guess you’ll have to take your clothes off.

💬Usually at times like this, they naturally undress you and… do it.

💬Lololololol

“Isn’t it hot?” Pike frantically tried to lift Eizen’s collar.

“Let go of me!”
“The tea…”

💬Say you’ll change clothes, then go for the priest outfit, go go.

💬How much will it take! How much to actually change?

💎[NoMoney donated 1,200,000 won] — How much do you need?

💬So damn cool…

💬I might fall for him.

Eizen pursed his lips.

“Clothes, I mean. I’ll go change my clothes.”
“Did you bring a change of clothes?”
“Yeah, sure.”

Eizen mumbled something vague and dashed into the bathroom.

“What do I do? Do I really wear the priest’s robe?”

💬Really, wear it!

💬Of course you should!

💬I knew Pike would be a total pervert.

People were nagging him to change quickly.

[Priest’s Robe]
➤ 1,000,000 won
➤ Clothing worn by priests.

Eizen closed his eyes and bought it. He had enough money anyway, and NoMoney had given him some.

He now had about 1 million won left.

💎[NoMoney donated 1,200,000 won] — Upgrade the XX skill to D-rank too.

💬Uh… so cool.

💬At this rate, you’ll probably spend 120 million.

💬I’m totally for the skill.

“But the skills…?”

Buying the priest’s robe was fine, but buying the skills too?

Eizen hesitated. He was already this weak to pleasure at a measly E-rank. What would happen if he upgraded to D-rank?

[Wearing Secret Shop items automatically triggers adult content restrictions]

The moment Eizen slipped his arms into the white robes, a new notification popped up.

💬What on earth are you trying to do, lololol.

💬Ah, you’re really raising expectations.

💬Can’t we buy something else? I’m curious about the candle.

💬I’m going for the paddle.

💎[NoMoney donated 1,200,000 won] — First, let’s max out the skills. How much is D-rank?

With NoMoney, the biggest spender, demanding skills, Eizen had nowhere to run. Eizen opened the general store to check the skills.

‘Please be ridiculously expensive. Please…’

Contrary to his desperate wish for the XX skill to stop leveling up, the price was actually quite reasonable.

[Sex D-Rank]
➤ 1,000,000 won
➤ Makes you feel even better during sex

Eizen paid with a pout.

[Sex has been upgraded to D-Rank]

💎[NoMoney donated 1,200,000 won] — Is C-Rank possible?

[Sex C-Rank]
➤ 3,000,000 won
➤ Makes you feel even better during sex

‘I’m going crazy.’

Thanks to NoMoney pumping out donations like crazy, the money had piled up.

💬Let’s go! C rank!

💬What happens if you feel it even more?

💬Ah, I’m curious about A rank.

Why the hell. How did things get this far?

Eizen closed his eyes tightly for a moment, then opened them.

He’d clearly started broadcasting with a light heart, just to revive his fallen family. How the hell did he end up on the verge of having sex?

‘Come to think of it, if I go back to the room with Pike, I might actually end up having sex!’

He’d given Pike two affinity potions, bought him items from the secret shop, and even taught himself sex skills. Worse, the game had automatically switched to an adult-only rating.

Eizen bit his lip hard. How exactly did you have sex with a guy?

‘No way. Why am I accepting this so naturally!’

Just because they kissed a bit, he was already thinking under the assumption that ‘they’d go all the way to sex’. Eizen yanked at his hair, messing it up.

Contrary to Eizen’s inner turmoil, the chat window was on the verge of exploding with anticipation of sex.

Naturally, there was nowhere for Eizen to run.

💎[PenisInsertion donated 100,000 won] — PenisInsertion.

💬Crazy, lololololol.

💬Looks like they’re crazy, lololol.

💬Mr. Penis Insertion, no, Mr. ImBuyingAPenis seems totally happy.

💬Since we’re doing it anyway, let’s buy C rank and go.

Eizen clenched his fist tightly, then opened it.

Anyway, it had happened. They say even if the sky falls, there’s always a way out. 

Forget a way out – everything that had happened up to now was tightening around Eizen’s throat.

‘I don’t know how to feel.’

It wasn’t exactly resignation. It was more like fear.

How do two men do it? Does it feel good?

How could stepping into an unknown world you’ve never experienced before not be nerve-wracking? If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be better to at least feel good about it?

Eizen’s happiness circuit was spinning at full throttle.

[Sex has been upgraded to C-Rank]
