Reincarnated Into The World Of A Rape Erotic Game ~ Since The Game World Has Become Reality... I Want To Save The Heroines~ - Chapter 8: Kagurazaka Yuuka ①

(You’re still such a sleepyhead as always…♪)

I quietly approached him as he slept soundly in bed, trying not to wake him up…

I gently knelt beside the bed and rested my chin on my hand while gazing at his sleeping face. A bit of mischievous spirit sprouted in me, and I poked his cheek playfully ♪…

“…Mm… sigh… sigh…”

“Hehe…”

Perhaps it tickled, because his hand reached for his cheek… After unconsciously rubbing his cheek, he rolled over… Seeing him like that made me think he was so cute and dear that a smile spilled from my lips… And he was not just cute, but handsome too ♪.

Even so, being like this… it brought back memories… Though the situation was different from that time and now…

(…You rescued me so coolly… but because of that… because of me, Toyokazu-kun got injured… you got hospitalized and I was worried sick about you sleeping there, so I stayed by your side… And I watched you like this until you woke up…)

“Hey… did you leave school early yesterday? Don’t tell me you saved someone again…? I’d prefer you not make any more girls fall for you…”

♢♢♢

Yes… it happened when I was just five years old… Dad was right in the middle of campaigning for his National Diet election at that time. I still faintly remembered him muttering things like how his rival candidate was quite formidable this time, how the interference was terrible, how the media was attacking him at every opportunity…

Well, it seemed he had already secured an absolute position within the party by that time…

In the midst of all that… tracing it back to its origin, it had all happened because of my selfishness…

“Yuuka absolutely wants to go to the amusement park today! If I say I want to go, then I want to go!!”

“I’ve told you many times, haven’t I? Not now. Please try to understand.”

“I absolutely hate ‘no’! If Yuuka wants to go to the amusement park, then I want to go! I want to go, I want to go, I want to go, I want to go, I want to go, I want to go, I want to go!! My friend Kana-chan bragged about going to the amusement park the other day! She said the parade was fun! I want to see the parade too! I want to ride the rides!”

“…Yuuka. That’s why I said not now… It’s an important time for Dad, you know? Please, just be patient a little longer. Dad will have time soon… and then Dad, me, and Yuuka will go to the amusement park together, okay?”

“No no! If I say we’re going, we’re going! Let’s go right now!!”

Usually… I don’t remember being that selfish, you know? I wasn’t supposed to be that kind of child… Though I said so myself.

But… that day was different.

I couldn’t control myself.

It was as if I was dominated by a sense of mission to go to the amusement park… as if I had been commanded to go there… Even now I found it strange… I never wanted to experience something like that again…

Perhaps because I was being so selfish, Dad gave in.

“Well… It’s maybe once a year, if that, that Yuuka asks for something like this, right? You two should go! Papa obviously can’t go though.”

“R-really, Papa!?”

“Yeah.”

“Darling… but right now…”

“My affairs have nothing to do with a child’s request. In a way, it’s adult circumstances.”

“But… right now is really, truly an important time… and also…”

“Ah… that? You mean about the threatening letter? Threatening letters like that aren’t anything new, are they? How many hundreds have there been now? Well, I’m a politician, so naturally there are people who don’t think well of my politics. Everyone has different ideologies. I just hope we’re all ultimately aiming for the same thing…”

“…Darling.”

“It’s fine. I’ll assign trustworthy people to you two… Go enjoy yourselves and let Yuuka have fun. For my sake too.”

“…I understand, darling.”

“Yay~ ♪ Hooray~ ♪ Amusement park, amusement park ♪. Am going to the amusement park with Mama!”

“Really now… Yuuka. Yuuka? What do you say to Dad?”

“Thank you, Papa! You know what? Yuuka loves Papa ♡.”

“Hahaha… Yuuka said she loves me. Papa loves Yuuka too, you know?”

“Yuuka loves Papa more ♪.”

“Is that so, is that so ♪.”

“Oh my… I’m getting jealous… hehehe…”

That’s right… I used to say I loved Dad… I still loved Dad normally even now, but I found someone I loved and treasured even more than Dad… Just like how Dad had met Mom and came to love her, just like how Mom had met Dad and came to love him, I had met Toyokazu-kun, was saved by him, and came to love him… 

Toyokazu-kun…

Ah!? Oh no, oh no… I was in the middle of the story…

A-anyway, that very day, I, Mom, the maid, and the guards all headed to the amusement park together. We hurriedly prepared to go to the amusement park, got into the luxury car, and while Dad saw us off, the car we were riding in departed. I kept waving from inside the car at Dad as he grew distant and smaller until I couldn’t see him anymore…

Well, this was something I had heard from Dad later, but apparently a boy had visited my house some time after we had left for the amusement park.

Yes… that was him… that was Toyokazu-kun…
