I Achieved a Happy Ending in a World Where Erotic and Grotesque Things are Commonplace, but I Hadn't Thought About What Would Happen After That. - Chapter 22 Of course, I'm aware of it, but they are just too erotic!

Chapter 22 Of course, I’m aware of it, but they are just too erotic!

“Do I… want to do something erotic?”

Alone in my room, I muttered to myself.

Since I’m the only one in my room, I’m free to mutter whatever I want, and there’s no need to worry about someone eavesdropping.

Now, why did I suddenly start muttering like this? There’s a good reason for it – lately, I’ve been not only fending off the constant temptations of the erotic girls in this world, but also staying vigilant so that I never give in to the urge to attack them, no matter what.

Even though we’ve fought together, I hold them dear… Even in this world, where it’s commonplace to attack women whom you are close with, and it’s considered righteous to do the deed and feel good about it, I still believe it’s wrong because I have the heart of a pure adolescent.

(But… to begin with, I do like erotic things. Even without experience, I have a certain longing, and first and foremost, this world is the world of the game I played through, so of course, I don’t hate the fact that the heroines are all beautiful and cute.)

My favorite is Kaguya… Obviously, I don’t have the right to rank the girls, but the others are also charming in their own ways.

I say things like “Don’t come near me” and “You’re too erotic,” but that’s precisely because they’re so incredibly charming… Putting aside the question of whether or not I want to do something erotic, if I was asked whether I’d want to get lovey-dovey with girls like them… Well, of course, I would.

“Of course, I’d want to… do something erotic to them.”

I’m a boy, after all, so of course, I want to do something erotic! I’d definitely want to get into some steamy entanglements!

But… But, you know?

This world is indeed one where erotic and grotesque go hand in hand.

Even though the final boss has been defeated and is now a thing of the past, it seems that if a girl loses to an Ayakashi, she still becomes its breeding vessel, and such cases are still discovered today… I can’t emphasize enough that this world remains unchanged in that regard.

“………………”

I always feel the eroticism of the girls around me, and when they press their bodies against me or show me their suggestive parts, I constantly think that if they keep it up, it’s me who will end up doing something to them. I restrain myself with an iron will to prevent that… But, to begin with, what do I really want?

“……Hmm.”

Something erotic… I want to try it.

Or rather, I want to go to a sex worker to relieve my pent-up desires, and every night, I fantasize about those girls coming onto me… Ahem, ahem.

Anyway!

I am interested in erotic things, and if I can, I want to do them… I wasted time thinking such thoughts over and over.

Then, as night fell, I sensed the presence of a youkai and set out. After some twists and turns, I joined up with Kaguya, and after hunting down the Ayakashi together, an incident occurred.

“Hey, you! What’s this about?”

“Hehe, we’re in quite a predicament, aren’t we?”

Kaguya smiled slyly in front of me.

The room Kaguya and I had wandered into could be described as being surrounded by squishy meat walls, and I recognized this place.

This is the room that Ayakashis use to lure in women, and it doesn’t look much different from a Ayakashi’s hole.

“Well then, let’s get started.”

“Started with what?”

“Something fun. Come on, you said it yourself at school, didn’t you? If you find yourself in a room where you have to have sex to get out, you have no choice but to do it.”

 … What is she talking about?

 Needless to say, I was left dumbfounded for a while.

As night fell, I set out to hunt an Ayakashi, and just when I thought it was all over, Kaguya gave me a nudge, and I ended up in this room.

Well, if I gave it my all and slashed with all my might, it would be easy to get out of here.

But still, if she suddenly said that she was recreating the room Sakura was watching, anyone would be stunned and frozen in their tracks.

“What do you mean?”

“I mean, it’s a room where you can’t get out unless you have sex.”

“Haa?”

Sorry, can you say that again?

What on earth is she talking about?

Ah, I actually said that out loud. In this sudden situation, I can’t come up with any sharp retorts, but I understand what she’s saying.

…Should I run?

The ultimate form of an erotic woman, clad in a kimono… She’s always incredibly sexy, and this room is filled with a peculiar scent too, probably some kind of aphrodisiac.

If I stay here, not only will the beast within me rampage, but I also feel like I won’t be able to hide the fact that I’m fully erect.

“Now, don’t even think about running away. This room is linked to my body… If you try to slash your way out of here, my belly will be cut open too, so please spare me that?”

“What are you doing?!”

I tilted my head, wondering if there was such a setting, but the serious air that Kaguya exuded made me let go of my sword.

And so, I ended up defenseless and pushed down, probably because, as I’ve said before, I don’t see Kaguya as an enemy, and more than that, my surprise got the better of me.

“What I said earlier is a bit exaggerated, but it’s not a lie. Because if I don’t say it like this, you’ll just easily leave.”

“Well, of course, I would…”

Of course, I would run… Because, I mean, come on?

“Hey, Masayoshi? Why do you always try to run away? I think of myself as a top-notch woman, and I’m sure the other girls feel the same. So, why don’t you ever give in to us?”

“Because… I shouldn’t give in. I–“

“I am… what?”

“… …….”

I’m not from this world… I almost muttered those words, but I quickly swallowed them.

It wouldn’t make sense to say that, and to be honest, I almost said it without thinking… Or rather, it’s not like me to just lie here and not resist when I’m pushed down like this!

As always, I tried to sit up and counter with sharp words, but Kaguya took off the kimono that was hanging on her shoulders… and right before my eyes, her overwhelming curves were revealed for me.

“Ah?!”

“Masayoshi, there’s something I want to say to you.”

“W-What is it…?”

I tried to avert my gaze, but she gently held my cheek and made me face her.

“You’ve been misleading us with your words, but didn’t you ever think of this? Let me be clear… We, or rather, I am seducing you because I have feelings for you.”

“……??”

“Don’t tilt your head like that. That’s one of your good points, but it seems you didn’t understand. It’s not just cluelessness, is it? Are you deliberately avoiding reaching that conclusion? You must have been telling yourself that it’s impossible, that it can’t be true.”

Wait… Just wait a moment, I said, placing my hand on Kaguya’s shoulder.

I tried to push her away with all my might, but just as I did, some lips covered mine… and it was none other than Kaguya’s lips.

Caught off guard by the sudden kiss, I was left dumbfounded, while Kaguya, with a reddened face, showed me a shy smile that she never usually revealed.

(……She’s cute.)

I couldn’t help but think that.

“I love you, Masayoshi. I want you so badly.”

“……Eh?”

You love me…? Me?

I couldn’t bring myself to mock her and tell her to stop joking… Because despite her shy and serious expression, I felt it would be rude to ignore her heartfelt words.

Kaguya, with a quivering shoulder, continued as if she were pouring out everything she had kept bottled up.

“To begin with! Why don’t you ever consider the possibility that we have feelings for you?! You’ve taught me so much, and you’ve even saved my life! Think hard about what you’ve done. If you still say it’s a lie that we have feelings for you, I’ll punch you!”

And to her desperate cry, I…
