Reborn Into A Dark Social Game World With Completely Loyal Friends. - Chapter 23: Mia's Divine Punishment

Mia’s Divine Punishment

“I might have misheard something. Could you say that again?”

“You’ll be sleeping with me, Minato-san.”

It seemed that Minato had not misheard.

He looked around again—this was indeed Mia’s room, and she was sitting on the bed, drying her hair, looking at him.

Sleeping together… Did she mean sharing a bed, he wondered.

“Does that mean… we’ll be sharing a bed?”

“Yes, it does.”

Apparently, it really did mean that.

Indeed, there was only a king-size bed in the room, which Mia probably used, but still, sharing a bed with a girl was inappropriate, Minato’s common sense protested.

“Hey Mia, isn’t that… a bit inappropriate?”

“There’s nothing inappropriate about it. I thought it was necessary—when you woke up from the dream and your complexion improved, I was relieved, but I think that on a day like this, you should end it with something comforting.”

“And that is… sleeping together?”

“Yes. By the way, Minato-san, do you not want to sleep with me, your favorite?”

“What? It’s not that I don’t want to!”

Minato instinctively raised his voice to deny it.

“Mia, you don’t understand.”

Minato began to explain.

In the world Minato lived in, magic did not exist, and no matter how much research was done, the boundary between reality and the two-dimensional world could not be crossed.

So, it was impossible for anyone to spend time in the same space as the person they declared to be their “waifu” or “prince.”

But now, Minato had Mia, his favorite, right in front of him.

Of course, not only Mia but also Yuzuriha and Fran were like favorites to him… Minato was in a realm that ordinary people could never experience.

“But I’ve been holding back a lot… I’ve been holding back and trying hard. Of course, I want to try many more things… I mean, sleeping with Mia? I’d love to do that. I want to sleep while snuggling up to you…”

“Then you should.”

“…Uh, is it really okay?”

Minato wonders if this is… an opportunity.

Minato is a young man himself. If he has favorite characters, he fantasizes about spending time with them and imagines even more than that.

In the original world, there were various things in the form of fan creations… Minato has even read explicit ones.

“It’s fine. Besides, you’re sleeping with Thanatos, aren’t you? Why can you sleep with her but not with me?”

“But Thanatos is a dragon.”

“But she’s still a woman, and moreover, even though Thanatos is a magical beast, she has the ability to mate with humans… in that sense, I think she’s close to humans, you know?”

“Well, that’s true, but… huh?”

By the way, Thanatos does have the ability to mate with humans as part of her setting… but that’s not relevant now, and it seems Mia won’t retreat no matter what she says.

“Minato-san, come here.”

“…I’m coming.”

Truth be told, Minato may have been a little starved for human touch.

Since coming to this world, every day has been tumultuous… Even though there have been moments of calm, experiencing a world change is exhausting.

As Minato resigns himself, Mia welcomes him with open arms.

“Hehe, caught you♪”

The moment they get on the bed, Mia hugs Minato tightly.

They collapse onto the bed, laying their heads on the pillow, gazing at each other incredibly closely.

(Ah… it’s been a while since I’ve felt a bed.)

Minato is impressed by the soft bed’s sensation.

It’s not just soft but warm, and above all, the scent is overwhelmingly good, making his head spin.

Because Mia has been using this bed all along, her scent is deeply embedded… it makes Minato’s heart flutter, but more than that, it brings an incredible sense of security.

“Hey, Minato-san, would you be satisfied with just this?”

“I’m extremely satisfied.”

“Haha, I see♪ Then, for the next five minutes, you can do whatever you want, okay? I’ll accept all of your desires to be spoiled.”

With that said, Minato’s inhibitions are somewhat released.

Of course, it’s not about doing anything explicit; he simply doesn’t feel any shame as he indulges in Mia’s kindness.

He basks in the warmth and kindness she provides… to the point where he buries his face in her large chest.

“…… sigh“

And for the next five minutes, Minato savored it to the fullest.

Having experienced even a bit of what he had imagined while playing games as a player, he was deeply moved. Yet, what followed after was an overwhelming sense of embarrassment.

“Minato-san, your face is all red, you know?”

“Well… of course it would be.”

“It was really cute though. I like leaning on you like this, Minato-san.”

“It’s… embarrassing, especially when you put it like that. I mean, I’m an adult and Mia is still a kid.”

“You always say that! Sixteen-year-olds in this world are practically adults.”

That might be true, but to Minato, Mia was still undeniably a child.

Now, Mia leaned in closer, burying her face in Minato’s chest, causing him to jump a little in surprise, yet he welcomed her.

“If you came to this world, Minato-san, we could walk into the future together, right? Then you’ll see the grown-up me.”

“Really… I wonder what kind of beauty you’ll become.”

“I’ll definitely be cuter than now, with an outstanding figure!”

Minato chuckled awkwardly at her self-assuredness, but Mia continued with a slightly more serious tone.

“You’re working really hard, Minato-san. But that’s why sometimes, it’s important to rely on someone like this. I’ll always be here to support you.”

“Mia…”

“Considering your circumstances, I think you’re amazing. You’ve always been in a peaceful world, right? And now, things have turned out like this… It’s not just because you love this world or for some reason like that. It’s your strength, and I can say that with confidence… You’re amazing, Minato-san.”

“Don’t praise me too much.”

“I can’t help it. You’re amazing… You’re so kind and cool… That’s why I’ll protect you.”

Her words were incredibly reassuring.

After dinner and a bath, and finally back in bed after a long time… It was enough to calm Minato’s mind and relax him.

As he drifted off to a deep sleep, feeling the sensation of being gently stroked on the head, Minato let himself be carried away.

“Goodnight, Minato-san… Now then, I should really clean up the garbage.”

***

For Minato, the information in this world is only from playing games… and the official information provided.

But that alone doesn’t account for everything — there are events that aren’t told in the games.

“Well, well, we’ve infiltrated smoothly.”

“Recently, the security around the Linear has gotten tighter… Did they undergo consciousness reformation?”

“Even so, it’s easy for us — now, let’s head to the Pope.”

Heading to the Pope… they were a group cloaked in the night’s darkness.

Wearing black attire that blends easily into the night, these individuals, distinct from Fran’s assassins, aim for the Pope’s life.

Each one shows tremendous skill; there might be about ten of them… but they will never reach the Pope.

“Alrighty then! You’ve come this far, but you won’t pass from here.”

“What!? Who are you…?”

Standing before the assassins… was Mia.

“… The Guiding Angel of the Disciplinary Corps.”

And of course, they seemed to know Mia as well.

If they were planning to infiltrate the city, it was natural to gather intelligence beforehand, so it’s not surprising that Mia’s cover might be blown.

Defense lies with Mia alone… and yet they couldn’t move.

Because an extraordinary killing intent emitted by Mia rooted them to the spot.

“There you are… Come to think of it, I saw you before. Hey, why now, huh? Today’s a special day for me! I thought I could sleep peacefully with someone important to me!”

“Scatter!”

“I can’t move!?”

“What’s going on…!?”

Boldly, Mia walked forward without even raising her weapon, and they still couldn’t move.

Because Mia possesses abilities unknown to anyone in the Doctrine Squad… and indeed, to anyone from other countries.

Only Minato knows… and their remembered comrades.

“I… I’ve decided I won’t show mercy to anyone I’ve decided to kill — so you’re going to die here. You’ve already made tonight worse than any previous failure, so I won’t forgive you.”

Mia’s hair faintly shimmered, her eyes turned silver.

White wings formed on her back… a true angelic figure — Mia’s combat prowess is exceptional, but in this state, she can sense all malice within a certain distance and inflict abnormalities that disturb the minds and senses of malevolent beings.

Normally, mastering this would be far off, but Mia handles it now due to her retained memories.

“Massacre… no, let’s leave one alive. Alright, let’s finish this quickly so I can return to him.”

The punishment for those who tarnished a happy night was too cruel.
