Reincarnated as the Promiscuous Protagonist in a Netori Game, Only to Find the Heroine, My Step-Sister, Already Threatened to Be a Submissive Slave~ Liberating the Slave and Planning to Leave Home, Yet Unexpectedly Becoming Loved by My Step-Sister~ - Chapter 3 - I Believe In You

Chapter 3 – I Believe In You

Before long, Genzo and Mizuki-san went to work, and it was my last time in this house.

“This is for the best…isn’t it…?”

I will free Tsumugi from being a slave and leave this house.

The relationship between Tsumugi, Mizuki-san, and Genzo is good, and if I’m gone, Tsumugi will be able to live a peaceful life.

I will continue to live somewhere, quietly and alone, without forming connections with anyone.

“No different than before I died, huh?”

I feel like complaining a bit to God, but I still did all I could to deal with this unreasonable reincarnation…

…I really wish I could have turned this character around before he turned into this playboy.

“Damn it!”

There’s nothing more I can do.

Let’s at least take care of Tsumugi for the rest of the day, like I had told Mizuki-san.

However, if Takuma was there when Tsumugi woke up, it would be a terror for her.

I decided to go into her room to check on her once she was asleep.

“She’s sleeping well…”

I felt relief at her regular sleeping breaths and peaceful sleeping face.

There was nothing I could do, but I hoped she was dreaming peacefully. And that from now on she will be happy with her family and with her boyfriend.

After checking on Tsumugi, I prepared to leave the house.

“Well, it’s nothing special.”

I rummaged through the cardboard in Takuma’s room, but found nothing of interest.

I don’t have much money in my wallet. I’m not sure about my bank account. It seems that Takuma doesn’t remember, so relying on his memory is unreliable. It seems that Takuma had a part-time job. I’ll keep my expectations low, but there might be some hope.

Genzo told me not to worry about money, but I don’t want to cause too much trouble.

“I wonder what I should do about school…”

Takuma is in his third year of high school.

In the second year of the same high school, there is Tsumugi.

“I can’t go to school, can I?”

In any case, the idea of starting high school all over again was not very appealing.

If I want to earn money even a little, I should drop out of school immediately and start working. In that case, I might end up in a low-paying temporary job again, but there’s no other choice. That’s how it is.

As I was thinking about these things, it was evening before I knew it.

All the while, Tsumugi was sleeping.

Mizuki-san will be back soon.

My job is done. I don’t have to watch over Tsumugi anymore.

“Okay, let’s get out while I still can.”

I’m not in a position to say goodbye or anything.

“…Goodbye.”

I quietly left the Tsukishiro household.

“I shouldn’t have smashed my phone…”

Even I could’ve just deleted the videos from the PC. I’m really an idiot.

Genzo, who returned once in the afternoon, told me about my new home.

He had even taken the trouble to get a map drawn up, so I’ll just have to rely on that.

Like that, I staggered along the road at dusk.

This might be a game world,but the scenery is no different from the reality in my previous life.

Looking at the beautiful sunset, I felt a little refreshed.

“Well, let’s start with my new life!”

Something good will happen. I’m sure of it.

Come to think of it, I’ve got a good face and body. When I’ve saved up enough money, maybe I should go to a place where no one knows Tsukishiro Takuma. There, I might even have the eroge experience with a beautiful girl I’ve always dreamed of.

As I muttered loosely, I heard footsteps behind me.

“—Wait!”

When I turned around, I saw Tsumugi standing there, her flaxen hair shaking and she was out of breath.

“Where… Hah, hah, where are you going?”

Tsumugi asked with rough breaths.

“You’re awake. I’m glad.”

“I heard from Mom that you were watching over me.”

“I was free, so I just stayed home.”

Gradually, her breath was getting better and better.

After confirming that, I replied.

“I’m thinking of running away from home. Well, I said ‘running away,’ but I’ve actually told my dad about it.”

“No.”

“Eh…?”

“I won’t let you go.”

Tsumugi, who said that so clearly, stared at me with eyes filled with a firm determination.

“…Why?”

Sweat trickles down my forehead. I was swallowed up by the spirit of a girl much smaller than myself.

“I’ve done terrible things to you. I shouldn’t be with you.”

“But you have changed.”

“……!?”

“The person you were yesterday and the person you are today look different, as if you are a different person. To me, I don’t think you are a bad person now.”

Tsumugi weaved her words as if she could see through everything. Perhaps she’s not looking at Takuma, but at me.

I felt my heart beat faster and faster.

“No, people don’t change easily. You shouldn’t trust someone like me that easily.”

Even so, I’m still Tsukishiro Takuma, I shouldn’t be involved with her.

It’s no wonder, considering all the tyranny Takuma perpetrated against her. Takuma is a bad reminder to her.

“You made me believe. I received your sincerity.”

Tsumugi didn’t rebuke my words, but she didn’t lose her attitude at all… She’s sticking to what she believes.

Yes, this is her real self. Arisa Tsumugi is a very strong girl. Even in the game she doesn’t give up her heart to Tsukishiro Takuma until the very end. She has a strong belief.

“I’ve already returned the damage you’ve done to me.”

Tsumugi proudly puffed out her chest with a satisfied “fufu.”

“I’ve given you a slap in the face.”

“Oh…”

My cheeks—and my heart is still throbbing.

Tsumugi thinks that she has gotten rid of that nauseating malice with just one slap.

“That was painful…”

“Yes, of course it was, I put a lot of resentment into it.”

“I see. That must be why it really hurt.”

“Yes.”

Besides… while stroking the palm of her right hand that she slapped, she narrowed her eyes and muttered gracefully.

“My purity was protected.”

“……!!!”

The moment I heard those words, my brain exploded and my memory reframed.

“That’s enough for me. I can still be a lady.”

Yes, this girl, the innocent and pretty heroine, has not yet committed the act with her lover.

Takuma noticed this and established a certain rule. The moment Tsumugi herself seeks Takuma, it would be the time to take her virginity. It was a cruel and obscene game. Takuma would get consent from Tsumugi and subject her to pleasure training in order to corrupt her heart.

All of this must have been for Takuma’s own pleasure.

But the training came to an end halfway through. It will never be repeated.

I never thought such an atrocious method would come around and salvage the situation…

Apparently, I was able to protect what was most important to her.

My eyes are getting hotter.

“Thank you very much.”

Tears were also in Tsumugi’s eyes as she smiled.

After wiping away her tears, she continued as if to summarize the story so far.

“You’ve changed and I’ve decided to believe in you.”

What a strong, kind and beautiful girl.

That’s why I’m glad I fell in love with her once, even if it was the worst cuckoldry game I ever played.

“I will not allow you to leave the house. We are family.”

“…I see.”

“Come on, let’s go home, Takuma-san—No, let’s go home, Nii-san.”

I, Tsukishiro Takuma, decided to live in that house as Arisa Tsumugi’s brother and family. (T/N: Brother eh… For now at least, muehehe)
