It Seems Like I Got Transmigated Into An Eroge - Chapter 24 : Avalon

Currently, I’m in Master Irene’s office, seated on the couch. Master Irene herself is on the other side, wearing an expression of disgust while gazing at Diana. Diana is adorably embracing my right arm, rubbing her cheeks against my shoulder. This endearing scene would have made me spoil her if it weren’t for Master Irene and Clara standing beside her.

The situation is no longer a joke; I’m feeling incredibly aroused right now—Damn it!

Setting aside the jests, let’s move on to more important matters. After I accidentally summoned Diana, the formidable pressure she emitted left Master Irene and Clara immobilized. Diana promptly lunged herself at me. However, she lacks a physical body; instead, she projects herself from within my soul.

And that’s why I feel like crying right now. Even though she’s showering me with affection, I can’t feel the warmth of her touch or engage with her physically. This moment is undoubtedly the most disappointing aspect of my life in this world.

Just when I thought I could finally indulge in pleasure, fate decided to play a cruel trick on me. How utterly merciless… Anyway, Master Irene broke the silence by introducing herself to Diana.

“Ahem, I’m Claude’s master, Irene.”

“I’m aware,” Diana replied with an icy tone.

Her response caught me off guard. I even questioned whether I had misheard. Observing Diana’s bitter expression and narrowed eyes fixed on Master Irene, I realized that she was still focused on her adorable cheek-rubbing antics. Seeing her in that pose almost brought tears to my eyes.

How fortunate and unfortunate can I be, all at once?

“Now, let’s clarify this. Who are you?” Master Irene also emitted a powerful aura, but it didn’t affect Diana at all.

“I am Claude’s contracted spirit wife.”

“Wife?”

Diana’s statement confused both Master Irene and Clara. Their puzzled gazes turned toward me, and I responded with a shrug, indicating my lack of understanding. Luckily, they understood my gesture and nodded. Or so I thought.

“So, you went into the Aether just to find a wife? As your master, I’m disappointed.”

“Indeed, I share the sentiment. I had thought better of you, young master Claude.”

“Wait a minute! What on earth are you talking abou—”

Then I recalled the time when Kitsune was attempting to impress me. They were right… I had no valid argument against their accusations. It’s undeniable, no matter how hard I try.

“Well? Finish your sentence at least.”

“I-I’m at a loss for words…” I admitted, lowering my gaze.

“Sigh… Well, could you at least introduce yourself to us?” Master Irene directed her question to Diana beside me.

“Me? But I’ve already told you, haven’t I? Wasn’t that sufficient?”

“Yes, but what type of spirit are you?”

“Spirit? How dare you label me a mere beast? They are nothing compared to me.”

Sure, I’d be happy to help you fix the grammatical errors and awkward sentences in the text. Here’s the improved version:

Diana once again emanated a chilling and oppressive presence, filling the room. In the blink of an eye, Master Irene’s guardian spirit, Melissa the Mushussu, and Clara’s guardian spirit, Fury the shadow eagle with dark flaming wings, materialized in the room. They shielded their respective contractors from Diana’s suffocating pressure. I, however, remained unaffected.

“Okay, that’s enough,” I interjected to calm Diana.

Thankfully, she finally settled down and resumed her previous behavior, disregarding the alarmed state of Master Irene and Clara due to Diana’s presence. To prevent the situation from escalating further, I concluded the conversation.

“I’ll ask her myself. I’m heading to my room.”

I stood up, and Diana followed me, floating in the air. Just as I was about to close the door, I heard a shout.

“Keep your door open in case anything happens!”

“Haah…” I sighed in defeat.

────────────

Diana is a goddess from a realm called ‘Avalon’, where other spirit goddesses like her exist. They are gods and goddesses beyond the reach of anyone, their existence shrouded in mystery.

Where Diana hails from, gods and goddesses aren’t the benevolent beings normal people might imagine. They’re similar to us, susceptible to greed and evil. Despite being called gods or goddesses, they cannot interfere with mortals due to a curse that prohibits contact with any humans. Diana is unaware of the exact cause as it is a forbidden topic. Being a young goddess, she’s only a few thousand years old…

This limitation prevents them from forming contracts with normal individuals, except for those like me who possess quintessence – extraordinary people. In my hypothesis, this is likely connected to the world’s spirit.

Upon my arrival in the Aether, my presence caused a disturbance in Avalon. This led to all the goddesses pursuing me fervently, each attempting to reach the Aether realm. Fortunately, Diana was the first to arrive and succeeded in capturing me. These occurrences are normal for them, given that there are others like me around the world, so I wasn’t surprised.

According to Diana, she firmly believes that I am her destined one, the sole person who can bring her happiness – her husband. It’s a heartwarming sentiment that I love. She also mentioned that other male gods bother her, which displeases her. This is why, upon my arrival in the Aether, she activated a portal device to move between realms instead of using the Avalon gate like the others. Essentially, Diana found a way to cheat.

Furthermore, she explained that other goddesses like her share the same objective of capturing me, with the difference being that they intend to kidnap and imprison me forever. Hearing this from Diana was unsettling, but I had a feeling she was attempting to scare me. Nonetheless, the idea of goddesses vying for my attention is flattering. Yet, a nagging feeling told me she might be telling the truth, which is concerning.

Currently, Diana was nestled against my arms.

“Diana, you’re not a spirit but a goddess?”

“Hmm~? Not exactly. We are a higher form of spirits, possessing our own physical bodies, unlike the so-called spirit guardians from the Aether.”

“So how does it work?”

“We, gods and goddesses, can use astral projection at will. As for the contract, it involves fusing our souls with vessels for you to inherit our power – essentially, when you die, I die, and our souls remain united for eternity.”

“Is that why you lack a physical body?”

“No, I destroyed my body to expedite the contract, otherwise, it would take years in the Aether to complete. Currently, I’m in the process of merging with your soul, so it’ll take time before I finish. Nevertheless, you can still tap into a fraction of my power.”

“What?! What does that mean?”

“I’m currently undergoing an astral phase where I need to recreate my body.”

“And you’re okay with that?”

“Yes. Claude, many goddesses are after you, especially being a guy. I don’t want those eager women to steal my affection.”

“Oh~?” I raised an eyebrow.

“They’re troublesome, Claude. So, I took the best course of action. Don’t worry, it’ll only take 3 years to completely recreate my body.”

Troublesome, huh? Not what I was thinking… Stay composed, Claude!

“I have a question, though.”

“Go ahead, Claude.”

“Once our souls merge, will we share memories?”

I broke into a sweat, recalling embarrassing memories of my teenage habits. I’m a healthy boy with natural needs, and puberty was a challenging time.

“No…” I sighed with relief, grateful to avoid sharing that uncomfortable information. My dignity remained intact.

“… Sharing memories would erase our individuality and personalities. Instead, we’d become one person with mixed traits from both of us. It would undermine our love. You wouldn’t want that, right?” Diana smiled brightly.

“Yeah, that makes sense. Does this apply to other spirit beasts too? Do they share memories with their contractors?”

“Rarely. Unlike us, they lack a direct connection, using memories to establish rapport. Every person’s soul resides in the Immaterial Plane within their body – a space for astral consciousness. Spirit beasts reside there, coexisting with the soul.”

“I understand now. Can they possess their contractor’s body?”

“Yes.”

“And what’s quintessence? I was told that it is the purest form of mana.”

“Yes, it is. That’s essentially it.”

It’s still a bit unclear.

“I see… Thanks for explaining, Diana. It’s disappointing that you don’t have a physical body yet.”

Diana whispered in my ear. “Don’t worry, darling~ Once I have a body, we’ll have endless fun all day.”

“Now that’s what I’m talking about!”
