I know where it is, so I’ll save it...this looks good...this one’s fine too...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shiori stared at the bulletin board installed on the wall of the ’Guild’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This bulletin board had a system where ten different quests, available through the guilds in \"Middle City,\" were posted daily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are no selection criteria for the quests posted on this bulletin board; they are completely random.

So he needs you to go and harvest them for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the content of the quest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on that description alone, it sounded like a simple collection-type quest,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the old man had told Shiori that there was some information they should know together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This quest had the potential to trigger combat depending on the reason and the player’s actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, we’ve arrived.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shiori arrived at the \"Grape Orchard,\" a field she could now access thanks to accepting the \"Grape Harvest\" quest, located in a corner of the \"Eastern Grasslands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The location had grapevines lined up at equal intervals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a place with an atmosphere that made you think it could actually exist in reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well then... let’s get started.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shiori slung the basket that had been placed at the entrance onto her back and immediately began harvesting grapes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The work itself was simple: just reach for the branches where the grapes were growing and pick an entire bunch at a time. There were no obstacles during the process, and the basket was filled in no time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man had asked for two baskets’ worth, so Shiori went back to get another basket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Phew...!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, you there!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Shiori decided to take a break and sat down on a nearby log when suddenly someone’s angry shouting rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is my vineyard. What do you think you’re doing harvesting the grapes without permission?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Huh, what...? Wait, the ’Guild’ asked me to harvest this place for the old man who owns it...!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person who appeared was a young man wearing black work clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man, with a look of utter rage on his face, approached Shiori and yelled at her repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the man shouting, Shiori thought for a moment... and then, looking flustered, explained why she had come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Huh!? Oh, that old man. That old man’s vineyard isn’t here! It’s somewhere else!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"W-What?! But he definitely said it was here! Look, the map clearly shows this place...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening to Shiori’s explanation, the man thought for a moment... and then replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shiori looked surprised by what he said, and with that expression, she showed him the map she had been given.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...What? But I can’t imagine that old man would give the wrong directions to his vineyard... You’re not a poacher, are you...? I thought my grapes were disappearing even though I hadn’t picked any recently, but I never imagined you were the culprit...!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Huh, what!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man, having been given the map by Shiori, looked at it for a while, thinking...and then, as he glanced at Shiori’s face and body, he made a lecherous expression and slowly said, as if to imply he was very wary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poachers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That information came from the elderly client.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The message was along the lines of, \"Poaching has been frequent at other farms recently, so it might happen at your farm too. Please be careful during harvest time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They mistook her for a poacher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the situation, Shiori looked flustered and desperately tried to explain herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"N-No, that’s not true...!? I’m not a poacher! It’s a misunderstanding!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really...? ...For now, I’ll go along with that...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man, after hearing Shiori’s explanation, reluctantly nodded, then looked at Shiori’s body with a gaze that seemed to lick her with his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shiori called out to him, lifting a basket full of grapes that she had just been harvesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For now, I’ll take these grapes back. But I’m not letting you go yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She might still be hiding some grapes she picked from me... So, I’m going to have someone check if she has any others. Follow me...!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Okay, I understand...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing those words, Shiori slowly nodded, and the man led her to a nearby hut.\u003C\u002Fp>",1225,"2026-06-06T06:10:41.230Z",1,"novelbin.me","12a12ad0b29911988048190c7c9cfad4488402e82e93cce6fc7518d032e735d1","r-18-my-masochistic-game-life-chapter-25","r-18-my-masochistic-game-life-chapter-23",348,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fr-18-my-masochistic-game-life-cover.jpg"]
