ACT 2 Gathering in Nagaran

Mother, whats with that face?

Ark grumbled as he gave So-mi a strange glance.Thats right. The female inside the shop was So-mi, Arks mother. By the way, it was because of that face that Ark committed the sin of not recognizing his mother.When his mother had used New Worlds character creation process, she had transformed into a teenage girl.

Looking young and pretty is never wrong.

.. That was his mothers answer.

Then you managed to manipulate the games character creation process.

Was it difficult? Dont you just have to scan an old photo when the message appeared? Scanner? At any rate, when I scanned the photo my character was programmed automatically. Wait? After thinking about it, my feelings are a little hurt. Even if my face de-aged 25 years, how can my son not recognize me? Mother is sad. Even Roco recognized me.

I previously saw the album with Mother in it. You looked so pretty that I had to remember.

Oh, Roco is also pretty.

So-mi stroked her head and Roco acted like a ca.t. Ark had also thought that So-mis face was slightly familiar. But how could he remember it from a photo in an old album shoved into the closet?

I dont know. Mother just looks like a high school student. It is like a scam.

Ark pouted while murmuring.However, So-mi ignored it and turned around.

Who are the people with you? Your friends?

Oh, you are Arks mother? My name is Bread.

Bread laughed boldly and approached.

It must be tough for a beauty like you to raise a monster like Ark.

Your fool, this is from a 25 year old photo.

Hmm, this guy is still naive. I dont want to hear such lousy words. Despite it being 25 years ago, the features can still clearly be seen.

Youre a good friend. You are called Bread? Please continue spending time with Ark in the future. Despite him being older, that child still doesnt know things like that.

Hohoho, Ill teach him.

Bread laughed and hit his chest.Ark sent him a sour look but the atmosphere had become more harmonious because of Bread. But Sapjil and Ulmeoks faces had fallen.There was a reason for their expressions. They hadnt had good experiences with the people associated with Ark.Sapjil still had the memory of being beaten by Isyuram, JusticeMan and the rehabilitation members.Unlike her outer appearance, Roco also had a personality of steel.Therefore in their heads, acquaintances of Ark= dangerous people.

The person who appeared this time is Arks mother. Despite being a woman, I cant be reassured. Wasnt she the one who created Arks personality? If she gets mad and shows her true personality then she might be much scarier than Ark. It would be nice to have a break from swollen eyes.

Thus the two of them hid in a corner, not even daring to breathe loudly. While they were trembling, Roco suddenly remembered something and asked So-mi.

But Mother, wasnt there something you want to give to me a while ago?

Ah, thats right.

So-mi then took something out of her bag.

Winter is coming soon. It is interesting that we can even feel the coldness of winter in a game. Hohoho, at first I thought the room was cold and even checked the temperature of the boiler. But it was on its original settings. So I thought of you guys and prepared this. I actually came here because I wanted to give this to you directly.

The things which emerged from So-mis bag were gloves and scarves.But the gloves and scarves were different from the ones found in general stores. The overall shape was similar but the gloves and scarves had flashy patterns on them.When Ark received it, an information window popped up.
