I Reincarnated as a Mob in a Depressing Erotic Video Game World. When I Saved the Main Heroine That Fallen Into Despair, Her Overwhelming Obsessive Love for Me Wouldn’t Stop.

After finishing the massage, I sat on the bed with Ena. She had made some tea for us. Though I had planned to make it myself, she stopped me, and we took a moment to relax while drinking it.

“So, Ena. Can you feel the effect of the massage?”

If it hadn’t worked, I’d just have been a pervert who groped her and made her moan for no reason. I tried to look calm, but I was pretty nervous inside.

“…Yeah. I can really feel it. My magic… it flows through my body like this…”

Hearing her say that made me breathe a sigh of relief. Ena’s magical power is huge because of the “Witch’s Seed.” Figuring out how her magic flows is way harder than for a normal magician.

But that’s exactly why… if she learns to control all her magic properly, she could become a magician far beyond ordinary limits.

“…Hehe. Shiruto-kun, you really are amazing. I feel like I’ve been reborn.”

“If that’s how you feel, then it was worth it.”

I smiled at her as I sipped the sweet tea.

Ena smiled back at me, all bright and happy.

—This is a really happy moment.

(…I have to protect her no matter what. Nothing’s really changed yet.)

Ena has two main problems.

The first is simple. Her skills and knowledge. Even if she has powerful magic, it’s useless if she can’t control it. To use the “Witch’s Seed,” she needs both lessons and practice.

The second problem is… the trauma she carries in her heart.

Her own father forced her to do cruel experiments on her body. He made her use magic to evolve the Witch’s Seed inside her, making her afraid of her own powers. She tried to keep smiling so her childhood friend Irwin wouldn’t worry, but at night, her eyes would go blank as she gave herself up to the experiments. And in the end, she failed to meet her father’s expectations and was thrown into the magic academy like she was trash.

(Even so… Ena tried over and over to face her past.)

Despite her harsh, tragic past, she doesn’t hate her father.

In fact, she wants to succeed as a magician to earn his recognition and maybe reconcile with him someday.

In the dark ending, Irwin might have broken that dream.

So I didn’t want to force her.

If she didn’t want to face her trauma, I would fight Ralthea without mercy and protect her.

But right now, Ena is.

“…Hehe. If I’m with you, Shiruto-kun… maybe I can get stronger…?”

Her eyes shone brightly as she looked at me.

That smile held hope for a bright future.

(—It’ll be fine. Ena and I can do this.)

My plan is to teach Ena first-class skills and knowledge. If she can also overcome her trauma, she’ll be able to control the Witch’s Seed and avoid the worst outcome, which is execution.

All I need to do is support her heart while teaching her as much as I can.

“So, Ena. How about we do some preparation for a lesson together for tomorrow?”

“…Preparation for a lesson?”

“Yeah. Since you’re moving to the special student class, I want us to go in fully prepared.”

I stood up and started rummaging around the room.

In the corner of the bookshelf, I found a problem book that hadn’t been touched. I opened it and spread it out on the desk.

“So, Ena, if you score over 90 on the practice test… I’ll give you a reward.”

“A-a reward…? Shiruto-kun, for me…?”

“Yeah. How about this, just one thing. I’ll do anything you ask, within reason?”

Ena’s little ahoge bounced energetically.

“A-anything? Really, really anything…!?”

She jumped up and leaned her face close to mine.
