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 26: Even that lewd pink gal can be serious sometimes… or maybe not

Signing a marriage certificate is one thing, but the president understood that it was too sudden, and in any case, there were still lingering effects on her body, so she went home early today.

“… It’s been a whirlwind of events.”

“Hehe, but there are all sorts of things when it comes to Ayakashi hunting, aren’t there?”

After Inori and Father left, saying they had something to discuss, I was left alone with Mother, who was staring intently at the marriage certificate in her hand.

“Mother…”

“Yes?”

“Didn’t you think it was strange?”

This… well, it’s a fair question.

Even though it’s possible for a demon hunter to marry their real sister… their family, it’s still not normal.

It’s pointless to talk about what’s normal in this world, but I wonder what Mother thought.

“I didn’t think it was strange at all. If anything, I felt relieved.

“Relieved?”

“Yes, of course. I knew Inori loved you, and as a mother, I wanted her to marry a respectable man. What’s wrong with her choosing you?

“… You really trust me that much.”

Not only Father, but Mother also seems to have a lot of faith in me.

Or rather, at this point, they not only don’t oppose Inori and me getting married, but they also seem to assume it’s a done deal…

“…………”

It felt like Kaguya was speaking directly to me in my head.

What are you going to do now that the walls are closing in? What do I really want in this situation?

“Was it Kaguya? With her, you’ve already expressed your feelings, but I think your answer is the most important. I think they will accept whatever decision you make.”

… That’s easy for you to say.

After that, I went back to my room and thought about it for a while. Since coming to this world, I’ve been fighting non-stop, and since the battle ended, I’ve been constantly plagued by carnal desires… But I can’t say I hated spending time with them.

“… Of course not.”

I love them… of course, I do.

Kaguya is my number one, but I also owe a lot to the others in that respect.

When I first came to this world, I vowed to protect them if I had the power to do so.

As I worked hard and got to know them, my desire to protect them only grew stronger… It goes without saying that I, an outsider, joined the student council and enjoyed my days there because of them.

“First, the president graduated… then it was me, Souta, and Aika… oh, now Kaguya is included too.”

The generation called the strongest will also face separations… As I think about it, a bittersweet feeling fills my chest.

Not just Kaguya and the others, but Souta too… I became friends with the other students as well, and even though I knew that parting ways was inevitable, it still makes me sad.

“…………”

This is… I’m just a lewd scumbag, aren’t I?

While feeling a bit depressed, I can’t deny that I’m also stimulated by the fact that my affections are reciprocated, and I can’t help but feel a little happy as a man.

I wonder… Was my desperate resistance to their seductive displays a way to prevent myself from being attracted to them? Was it a form of self-restraint because I’m not a pure native of this world?

“But… the president and the others are also quite aggressive in their pursuit of love.”

There’s something about romance that’s sweet and sour… But the president, as well as Ouka, are so intense, and Kaguya was absolutely certain that it would happen, and Inori, despite being my blood-related sibling, seemed to not care about that and often acted in a suggestive manner.

“I… I didn’t notice anything at all.”

Well, let me defend myself a little.

I don’t think I’m popular, and I’m not the kind of person who can make multiple women fall in love with me… I’m not a handsome guy, and all I can do is use my power for their sake… for the sake of those I want to protect.

“…… I think I’ll go out for a bit.”

I decided to go out and get some fresh air.

After calling out to Mother, who was still at home, I left the house and started walking aimlessly… Eventually, I arrived at a park, where I saw a familiar girl.

“Thanks, big sis!”

“It’s fine, cutie♪”

It was Ouka, gently patting a little boy’s head with a smile.

Unlike when she’s with me, she didn’t exude any sexiness… Well, her current outfit is still quite revealing, and her legs are thick, but in a good way… Anyway, she’s the embodiment of eroticism.

But Ouka’s smile was pure… I never thought she could make such a smile, but she’s cute, isn’t she?

“Hey, wait a minute…”

At that moment, Ouka noticed me.

She suddenly looked at her hand and then ran straight towards me, causing her chest to bounce vigorously, capturing the gaze of a father who was playing with his children.

“N-No, Senpai! I’m not a shotacon or anything like that! I’m just… I think about you every day and take care of my own business–“

“I won’t let you finish that sentence! And what were you about to say in a park full of children?!”

I stopped her, and I think I made the perfect decision as a man.

If she had finished that sentence, not only would I have been in a difficult situation, but Ouka and the parents who would have to explain it to their curious children would have been burned as well.

“…… Hahaha.”

“Senpai?”

… Well, it’s good to see that Ouka hasn’t changed her usual aggressive behavior.

“You’re always the same, aren’t you? But that’s one of your good points, Ouka.”

“W-Wait, what’s with the sudden confession? Are you sick again…?”

“It’s rude to say that just because I’m a little different from usual.”

“But you’re my senpai.”

Ouka suggested that we sit down, and she wrapped her arm around mine.

She then pressed her extra-large softness against me, and the wolf within me almost woke up… But I’m still a bit of a sage right now.

“Are you listening?”

“Is it about the president? Hahaha, it’s about how you might finally give in, right?”

“…………”

So, everyone knows, huh?

“There’s a group chat called ‘Let’s Seduce Masayoshi-kun.’ Everyone, including me, found out about it there.”

“I’m hearing about this for the first time!?”

What’s that all about? … No, I don’t want to know what’s written there.

Well, that’s convenient, I thought, and tried to bring it up, but my words faltered because I’m not used to this situation.

Ouka seemed to understand, and unlike her usual self, she didn’t aggressively seduce me… Instead, she continued in a calm tone.

“Listen, Senpai. I won’t be persistent about it. I just want to tell you one thing. I love you… I truly love you from the bottom of my heart.”

“…… Oh.”

“Hahaha, I understand that you’re in a difficult situation this time. But I wanted to tell you again… Well, I always want to say it.”

Ouka’s smile was adorable, and it made my heart skip a beat, even though I had seen her charming gestures countless times before.

“At first, I didn’t really consider sharing you with everyone… I was determined to take you for myself no matter who you chose, and I was going to seduce you no matter what you said.”

“Hearing it again is scary.”

“But that’s who I am. You saved my life, gave me kind words, courage, and strength… Without you, I wouldn’t be here today. You changed my destiny. You are my destiny.”

… This is bad. Her feelings are so sincere that my cheeks are burning.

But… I have to admit it, don’t I? Now that it’s come to this, now that I’ve faced them and built relationships with them, now that we’ve gone through life-threatening situations together… I don’t want to let go of what we’ve cultivated.

“Senpai, you must have struggled with your wandering heart, right?”

“You understand?”

“Of course, I do. You’re kind, after all… Well, I don’t think you need to worry about it. It’s allowed by the law and the rules of Ayakashi hunting, and everyone loves you.”

“…… I love you too, probably… No, definitely. I’ve always felt that way, even before all this.”

Finally, I feel like I know what I want to do.

“I think it’s fine to be honest about it. There’s a saying that heroes are lovers of beauty, and you’re literally a world-saving hero. Your achievements are so great that they’ll be passed down for generations. So, don’t worry about the small stuff and let the wolf out! Go wild as much as you want! Or how about we do it now, here?”

“…… You never change, Ouka.”

However, it was good to talk to Ouka like this.

I returned home about an hour later… Phew.
