I Came to a World Where the Concept of Chastity is Reversed, so I Tried to Change my Job to a Playboy, but the Interference is Intense. Please Help me. - Chapter 51: I Don't Have a Protagonist's Cheat Power

Chapter 51: I Don’t Have a Protagonist’s Cheat Power

I successfully reconciled with Umi and became her lover, and I was able to bring her back.

However, there was a trick to this.

— Let’s rewind time a little.

Now, if I were the protagonist of a story, I would easily find her at a place where our memories reside! But Umi and I don’t have such a place.

No matter how hard I searched, I couldn’t find her, and in my panic, I decided to use my trump card and head to a certain place.

The place I was heading to was…

“Haa, haa, haa, haa, haa… Fuu… Goddess-sama, please help me!”

I was at a shrine. 

Just like before, I went to the main hall, closed my eyes, and performed the ritual of two bows, two claps, and one bow.

“Ahhahha☆ Looks like you’re in trouble~☆”

I heard the voice of the goddess, so I opened my eyes.

“Haa, haa, haa… I apologize for the late hour! Please, could you lend me your power?”

“Yes, yes☆ First, let’s get your breathing under control. Here, have some water and a towel.”

Saying this, the goddess produced water and a towel out of thin air and handed them to me.

“Haa, haa, haa… Thank you very much.”

I drank the water and wiped my sweat with the towel.

“Ahhahha☆ You’re drinking it nicely~!”

“Fuu… Thank you very much. And… um, yes.”

“So, have you been having fun since then?”

“Yes, thanks to Shigure and Umi, every day is fun.”

“I see, I see☆ You seem to be enjoying yourself every day, getting squeezed nicely~☆”

“Ahh! That’s right! Why is my reincarnation bonus the same as before?! Please give me something better…”

“Hmm? It’s not really a bonus, you know?”

“Eh? Do I have a proper special power?!”

“You’re reading too many manga☆ Do you remember what I told you the first time we met?”

“The first time… You mean when you said, ‘That body is not only that child’s body, but also your body’?”

“Yes, yes☆”

“…? So, this body is both the previous Yuki’s body and my body?”

“That’s right~☆”

“…I don’t understand at all…”

“Fufufu☆ Shall we do a little quiz☆?”

“Huh?”

“This body is made by mixing the body of the previous Yuki with your body after you died.”

“…Huh?”

“That’s right, I mixed the body of the previous Yuki with your dead body, removed the excess and unnecessary parts, and what’s left is the body you’re using now.”

“………”

“Oh my, you still don’t get it?”

“Well… um… I see… So that’s why I can produce more than other men?”

“Yes, yes. Also, the previous Yuki liked games and had good dynamic vision and reflexes. So, you’ve inherited those traits as well☆”

Ahh… So that’s why my reactions were abnormally good when I was attacked the other day and managed to turn the tables on them.

“Fufufu☆ Looks like you finally understand~☆”

“Yes, is this my bonus?”

“It’s a pretty good bonus, isn’t it~?”

“Yes, thanks to that, I’ve been saved.”

“I’m glad~☆”

“Thank you very much. And now… “

“You want to know where Umi is, right~? What are you going to do when you meet Umi?”

“I want to apologize to her.”

“Why is that?”

“Because I made Umi feel sad.”

“…Is that all?”

“Also… I want to properly convey my feelings to Umi.”

“What will you tell her?”

“I’ll tell her that I like her. I’ll tell her… that I want her to be my lover.”

“…Yes, yes☆ You pass☆ You pass~☆”

“Huh? Pass?”

“You’re trying to get along and be happy with a girl, so you pass☆”

“Of course. I promised, after all. Well, even if I hadn’t promised, I would still take care of her.”

“Yes, yes☆ So, I’ll help you go to Umi-chan. She’s at the park where you played catch with her and her parents before~☆”

“Really?! Thank you very much!”

“You’re welcome~☆ Now, let’s talk about my reward~?”

“Ahh… Reward…”

I was so focused on finding Umi that I completely forgot about it…

“My my~? Asking a god for a favor without offering anything in return… You’re a naughty boy, aren’t you~?”

“S, sorry, I’ll pay for this time and the last time when I come next.”

“That’s fine, but… I’ve changed my mind~…”

“Eh?”

“I think I’ll give you a trial☆”

“A trial?”

“Yes☆ Come back here within a few days after your high school entrance ceremony~☆”

“…Okay.”

“Fufufu☆ Don’t worry, it won’t be difficult for you☆”

“H, huh?”

“Now, go to Umi-chan. She’s all alone and feeling lonely.”

“Yes! Thank you very much!”

And so, after finishing my conversation with the goddess, I contacted Shigure to let her know about Umi’s whereabouts, and I went to meet Umi first and talked to her.

— This is the trick. I don’t have any special powers like a story protagonist. Well, maybe it’s special in a way that I can meet a goddess? I played my trump card and managed to find Umi afterall.

In return… What will the goddess do to me…?
