The Villainous Uncle in the Adult Game Gets Unusually High Praise from the Heroines - Chapter 1

Last week, my older brother died. He was an exceptional brother, the very definition of excellence. 

He excelled in both academics and sports, and he was incredibly popular. His wife was his high school sweetheart.

After high school, he entered a prestigious national university and graduated with outstanding grades.

He then landed a job at a major corporation, and it seemed that his future success was all but guaranteed. Suddenly, however, both he and his wife died in a traffic accident.

Their bodies were horribly mangled by the truck that hit them — what remained was too gruesome to look at. As I watched his body turn into white bones in the crematorium flames, I couldn’t hide the joy in my heart.

My brother was dead.

He was the cursed one that had always used me as a foil to make himself look better. While I felt sorry for his wife, my joy overshadowed any sympathy I might have felt.

Ah, really.

Life was truly unpredictable. The excellent brother was dead, while I, the one that was always called worthless, continued to live.

The late couple had one daughter.

Her name was Sakurako Tendo.

I’d met her a few times during New Year’s visits. She took after her mother’s genes, showing none of my brother’s traits — she was an adorably cute girl.

That child was now in my house.

More precisely, she was in the house my brother had left to me, which was now mine.

Normally, such things would be inherited by the daughter — that was how it should be — so the fact that it wasn’t meant that my brother had deliberately arranged it this way.

I had no idea why. Maybe he’d planned to rewrite his will when Sakurako-chan grew up, or maybe not.

I’d moved from my apartment to this fine house, and with me was an adorable girl as well.

Ah, I was truly blessed.

What was once proof of my brother’s happiness was now in my hands. What else could one call this but happiness?

And Sakurako-chan, yes.

That adorable girl wouldn’t survive without my protection.

In other words, wouldn’t it be fair to say that she belonged to me?

Ah, yes. She was mine. My woman.

With that settled, I should hurry up to her bedroom where she was sleeping.

I quickly climbed the stairs—

“Agh!”

It was an unfamiliar house with unfamiliar stairs, and so my foot slipped, my body tilting. I tried to grab the handrail but grasped empty air.

Fortunately, I slipped on the first step.

So I shouldn’t be badly hurt, but—

THUD!!

A massive impact sounded, and my brain rattled.

At that moment, I suddenly understood everything about this world.

“Huh, what? Did I get reincarnated into an eroge world?” I muttered in bewilderment.

Integrating the information in my head with my previous life’s knowledge, that was the only conclusion I could draw.

This world, especially my circumstances, was extremely similar to an eroge game called “Before They Knew It, Everyone Became His Playthings”

The main heroine Sakurako Tendo’s family situation matched my niece’s exactly: an unfortunate girl who’d lost both parents in a traffic accident.

She was supposed to find temporary happiness through interaction and love with the protagonist — but that soon got destroyed by my evil hands.

Acts committed without the protagonist’s knowledge. Heroines slipping away from the protagonist’s grasp.

And finally—

It was that kind of typical NTR eroge.

“Well…”

Since I was living in the same house as Sakurako-chan, one of the heroines, did that mean that the story had already begun?

The plot originally started when Sakurako-chan experienced the traffic accident and fell into depression.

If so, this must be right before the story’s prologue. This was exactly that moment.

“…”

I quietly climbed the stairs, taking careful steps. Then I slowly opened the door at the top and quietly entered the room.

In the bed lay a girl with long, pale, cherry-blossom colored hair.

Sakurako Tendo was there.

This girl.

I—

“Kuh—”

I desperately held back the laughter that threatened to escape. I quietly left the room so as not to wake her up. Reaching the living room, I let out a long breath.

I couldn’t stop grinning.

Ah, truly, “I” was blessed.

After all, I’d be able to make such a cute girl mine.

I decided. In this world, I’d aim for the original story’s ending: making cute girls mine and building a harem. 

Well, there must be some kind of story-forcing power or something like that going on.

Surely my wishes would come true. For that, first…

“It would be sad if Sakurako-chan wakes up hungry.”

I should make a midnight snack.
