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 23 Is the development of our relationship… also too erotic?

Chapter 23 Is the development of our relationship… also too erotic?

“Haa… haa!”

“……………”

Masayoshi is at a loss for words, frozen in place.

He’s received a passionate confession from Kaguya, straddling him as she exposes her upper body for him to see.

At first, he couldn’t process her words.

Even though they were clearly expressions of affection, he tried not to consider them as being directed at him.

“Come now, even if you say you don’t get it, I won’t believe you, you know? If you try to pretend not to hear me or hurry things along, I’ll really lose my cool too… And if you think I’ll let you get away with pretending nothing ever happened, you’re mistaken. Since you can’t escape anyway, I’ll just go all out, you know?”

“Huh?!”

There’s no mistaking what she means by “go all out.”

Masayoshi can’t possibly escape Kaguya’s predatory stare, if it meant breaking through this fleshy wall—which would likely result in her getting an injury.

“Um… I…”

“You know, I don’t think I have any ill feelings toward you. Is it wrong that I have these feelings for you?”

“It’s not wrong… I guess.”

“Then it’s okay, right?”

“No, that’s too casual!”

His usual sharpness returns, ever so slightly.

But Masayoshi remains in a state of shock, unable to do anything but look up at Kaguya.

This deadlock won’t do; time will just slip away…

Realizing this, Kaguya continues speaking.

“You know, the other day I mentioned that your old phone was found, right? Well, there were recordings on it—of you and my father fighting. I heard everything, Masayoshi—your struggles to avoid that future and save all of us… I’m curious about how you knew all that, but eh, it’s fine. You were simply amazing.”

“I… I guess it makes sense that conversations were recorded…”

“They were. The voice data’s long gone, though.”

Masayoshi had been informed about the discovery of his old phone, but he hadn’t known about any voice recordings.

Even if they didn’t reveal everything, there were enough explicit comments that anyone with half a brain would piece together Masayoshi’s mysterious past.

“Um…”

“Even so, I… I mean…”

“Let me help you out then. Seems like, according to my father’s conversations, many people were supposed to die—me included. You didn’t want that future to happen, so you ran around trying to save us… That’s also what made me realize how desperate you were.”

“……………”

“I mean, how can you not fall for a guy like that?”

Kaguya leans in again for a kiss, and the exchange of silver saliva makes Masayoshi’s dreamlike moment with her all the more real.

“A hero, a knight in shining armor… That’s just a fairytale children tell, and in this world overrun by demons, those words are so out of place—but you, Masayoshi, were my hero and a knight in shining armor… and I’m sure the other girls felt the same.”

Her eyes glittering, Kaguya declares him her hero.

She must be feeling on top of the world right now… Her bubbly attitude, free from restraint, makes her look like a child, or even several times younger than her actual self.

But let’s not forget—Masayoshi is faced with the sight of her ample breasts swaying before him and the intoxicating fragrance that wafts from her body, enough to captivate any man.

“Masayoshi, there’s no use running away anymore. Even if you’ve been trying to escape me, I won’t let you off the hook. You see, I’ve fallen head over heels for you—even if you feel revulsion towards me, I’m confident that my affection can overwhelm it… Hey Masayoshi, I can’t help myself from loving you. Just thinking about you makes my body ache, and I yearn for your touch everytime.”

“In simple terms, I want to make love with you… I want to receive your seed, claim you as my own, and possess you… But most of all, I want you to ravish me. I want you to shred my dignity with the pleasure you can give me—turn me into a woman who only thinks of you!”

Her words, interwoven with love and desire, leave Masayoshi speechless, and his joy surpasses any lingering embarrassment.

“Confessed to by your idol… Seriously?”

Indeed, there’s no way he wouldn’t be happy about a confession from his favorite character.

Masayoshi, still under the gaze of Kaguya, takes his turn to speak… He revisits his secrets, his thoughts and experiences in this world.

“That… was the reason I kept fighting. The real reason.”

Being reincarnated and knowing everything that happens gave him the determination to try his best. He wanted to save everyone, wield his strength to protect the ones he loved… And above all, he reveals the words that capture Kaguya’s heart.

“Well… I always liked you the best, Kaguya. I thought, no matter what, I’d do anything to help you… Right from the start, when I first became aware of this world.”

Masayoshi’s cheeks turn red, but he manages a bright smile, which Kaguya can only interpret as adoration.

But wait!

Masayoshi has his dignity!

“I mean, that doesn’t mean we should jump straight to that, right? There’s supposed to be some psychological preparation involved, isn’t there?”

Kaguya, finding Masayoshi’s flustered reaction adorable, offers a gentle smile.

“Nope~”

Soon after, the “Ayakashi’s Hole” —a room one can only exit by having sex—disappears.

“… “

Masayoshi realizes the gravity of the situation, while Kaguya rubs her satisfied stomach.

There’s no turning back, and Kaguya makes it clear there’s no escape.

“You know, Masayoshi, I’m not the only one who adores you. There are other girls who can’t get enough of you as well… How interesting this will be.”

“W-wait, but polygamy isn’t exactly legal in human society! And I’m not some playboy, you know?”

Despite their mutual nudity, Masayoshi’s mind races ahead, pondering the future. Seeing him like this, Kaguya can’t help but smile wryly.

(Thanks to Masayoshi, my body has been purified… The pleasure he gave me, even though he has such an intimidating package, was so gentle… Hmm, I might fall for him even harder.)

In the end, things will turn out as they will.

Now that they’ve taken this action… Well, this was inevitable for Masayoshi.

To take the lead is to also pay the price.

Masayoshi saved everyone, defied all odds, and transformed every despair into hope—now, he reaps the love of the heroines.

“Hey, Kaguya…”

“Yes?”

“I… love you. I’ve loved you even before in my past life.”

Masayoshi’s unexpected whisper steals Kaguya’s speech. Despite her previous obstinacy, she’s now melting into him, her body shaking with the force of his confession. A loud moan escapes her lips, and she melts into Masayoshi’s embrace.

“Whoa, I suddenly feel weak all over… Hehe… Hehehe!”

“H-hey!”

“Hmm… I couldn’t care less about my dignity as an Ayakashi now!”

“W-wait a minute!”

And with that, they take another step forward.
