Ddiring.
Along with the sound, a message appeared before Seojun.
[You have saved an original heroine.]
[You have achieved a great feat.]
[You have twisted the fate of an original heroine.]
[You have achieved a miraculous feat.]
[Additional OP will be granted at the end.]
Upon seeing that message, Seojun released the hands of the Konno Sisters that he had been holding.
Seeing their slightly disappointed faces, he smiled.
'It's over.'
As of today, he had completely purified all the impurities inside the Konno Sisters' bodies.
With this, unlike in the original work, they would live the rest of their lives healthily, barring any unexpected accidents.
'Not that I'll let those unexpected accidents happen either.'
There was no way he would let the girls he had marked as heroines be.
He wanted them to live as safe and happy lives as possible, so he would go as far as to sacrifice himself.
He spoke to the Konno Sisters.
"It's all over. From now on, you'll be fine."
At those words, the two sisters contemplated their own bodies.
Unlike before, their bodies were indeed completely full of energy.
They instinctively realized it.
Ah, the illness was cured.
Once they reached that conclusion, tears welled up in the sisters' eyes.
"Thank you, oppa!"
"Thank you so much!"
The young girls couldn't hold back their tears and cried while embracing Seojun.
He patted their backs and comforted them.
'It doesn't matter if the heroines know I have special powers.'
After all, they weren't kids who would go around spilling it.
This was a conclusion drawn from big data analysis of the original work and his own experiences.
So he had no worries.
Feeling the same pleasant satisfaction as when he became a Hunter and saved people from monsters, he thought of their parents.
'Now those two will be fine too.'
To Yuuki's parents, he gave a potion that cures illness.
Of course, if he gave it to them just like that, it would obviously become bothersome, so he revealed that he was the legitimate child of the Yuseong Group and proposed that since a new drug related to AIDS had been developed, they could participate in clinical trials.
'I enhanced it with my ability, so the effect is outstanding.'
At least, any medicine in this world wouldn't even come close to the power of the potion he brought.
And for good reason—it was a potion that could cure even cancer.
Well, anyway, both parents regained their health, and the sisters were also completely cured.
Since their family had been saved after he appeared, Seojun was more than just a benefactor to the Yuuki family.
"Congratulations, both of you."
Asuna, who had been watching the three embrace, offered her congratulations.
Her eyes were glistening with tears.
Since she had become close with the two sisters, she must be genuinely happy that they had regained their health.
Seojun gestured for Asuna to come over too.
Wiping her tears, Asuna approached and embraced the sisters from behind.
Seojun in front, Asuna behind.
It might have felt cramped being sandwiched between the two, but to the two sisters, Asuna was the one who had approached them and become their friend, unlike the other kids who had ostracized them for being sick. So they were even happier.
Thus, five minutes passed with them all clinging together.
"Okay, that's enough..."
"It's hot!"
"Ah, sorry."
At the sisters' groans, Seojun and Asuna quickly pulled away.
Seeing their faces glistening with sweat as they caught their breath, Asuna involuntarily laughed.
As if it were contagious, the two sisters looked at each other's faces and burst out laughing.
For a while, the pure laughter of children rang out.
One year had passed since Seojun came to this world.
For him, having to experience elementary school again was absolutely terrible, but being able to attend with Asuna and the Konno Sisters turned out to be a better experience than he had imagined.
'I never thought all three would be at the same school.'
Asuna and the Konno Sisters were attending the same elementary school.
Since they were in different grades, it seemed they hadn't crossed paths before.
Well, now that he knew this, they were practically childhood friends.
And Seojun also transferred to this school.
Apparently, the Yuseong Group's name carried quite a bit of weight, so he was placed in the same class as Asuna.
So currently, the four of them had gathered again at lunchtime.
"Jun-gun, aah."
Asuna picked up one piece of rolled omelet from her lunchbox and held it out to him.
It was the culmination of her cooking skills, perfected after months of practice.
Seojun accepted it and gave a thumbs-up.
"It's delicious today too."
"Hehe, I put in some effort today too."
"Ah, Jun oppa! Eat mine too!"
Yuuki, who had been watching them, quickly picked up an octopus sausage from her own lunchbox and held it out to Seojun.
Without refusing, he ate that too.
"U-um, me too."
"Yeah, feed me, Aiko."
And so, the three spent a blissful time on a bench set up on school grounds during lunch break.
By now, the four of them had become famous at the elementary school.
With the school's beautiful idols—Asuna, Yuuki, and Aiko—who were so pretty you could just bite them, and Seojun, so handsome that child actors couldn't even compare, always sticking together, kids who valued looks couldn't help but pay attention.
'The adults are watching quite a bit too.'
As long as they weren't lolicon or shotacon.
The teachers' gazes towards the four of them huddled together were nothing but warm.
It felt like they were watching the kids' love lives and thinking it was cute.
'...I feel kind of sorry.'
If the teachers knew what Seojun was thinking, they would be horrified.
After all, not even content with three, he was preparing to build a harem that couldn't exist in modern times.
'I'm also planning some training soon.'
When I say training, it's nothing major.
It's just about eliminating resistance through light skinship and doing groundwork to make them only look at me for the rest of their lives.
At least at this stage, interlocking fingers, hugging, and cheek kisses had become routine.
Do I feel any resistance?
'Not at all.'
Seojun had a broad taste that didn't discriminate between lolis and older women when it came to 2D.
Ah, of course, he didn't particularly like overly niche tastes either.
Well, for that reason, he didn't really feel any resistance towards these actions.
Part of that was because this place was reality yet not reality.
'As long as it's not reality.'
He hated real-life crime too.
But this place is virtual, and a world known only to him.
There was no particular reason to follow real-world law-abidingness.
Why was GTA so popular?
It's the freedom to do things you can't do in real life.
No way he'd give that up.
'Lolis are fine, but the original appearances are the best.'
Seojun thought he liked the heroines' past or future appearances too.
But what he liked best was the present, i.e., their appearances at the original point in time.
What was the reason he entered the world of the work?
It was because he wanted to make the original heroines his own.
In other words, that meant he preferred their grown-up appearances from the original over their current loli forms.
The original appearances were when the heroines were at their peak.
For lolis, heroines who were originally lolis suffice.
'Yeah, absolutely.'
While Seojun was thinking that, Asuna's face suddenly came into his line of sight.
"Jun-gun, what are you thinking about so deeply?"
"Huh? Just thinking about you."
"Eh? Ugh, Jun-gun is so..."
Surprised by Seojun's reply, Asuna was flustered for a moment.
Soon a blush rose to her face, and she leaned her head on his shoulder.
Watching the scene, Yuuki, who had been puffing her cheeks, also leaned her head on the other empty shoulder.
Unfortunately, he only had two shoulders, so Aiko looked sulky.
"Aiko."
Tak, tak.
Seojun called her and patted his thigh.
Aiko's eyes widened.
Fidgeting and looking around, she carefully sat on his thigh.
'This is a harem.'
The students watching the scene from around them murmured.
Both boys and girls had looks of envy and jealousy on their faces.
With a slight smirk, he closed his eyes, basking in the sunlight.
A few days later.
Seojun was reading a report in his penthouse.
It was information about the heroines he had newly acquired.
Reading through the report, Seojun smiled with satisfaction.
"I finally found them."
The report he was reading listed two names.
[Kirigaya Kazuto, 8 years old]
[Kirigaya Suguha, 7 years old]
Left, Konno Yuuki (Real Life)
Right, Konno Aiko (Real Life)
Konno Yuuki (Game)
