"Phew, Hyun-ah's issue is settled for now."
I skimmed over the already-signed manager contract one more time, and a smile crept onto my face unbidden. Who would've thought Hyun-ah and I would end up like this after all that bickering at our first meeting? People really are unpredictable.
Relationships are always shifting, which just drives home the point that you shouldn't treat anyone carelessly.
Hmm, though if I think about the 'Heroine NTR' I just pulled off, I might not be the best one to say that... At least in reality, that's the case.
"……"
Wait, but come to think of it, didn't I even NTR Hyun-ah in reality too?
"Ahem!"
Anyway, from here on out, I just need to do things right!
So...
I'll do the same with Cecilia, who I'm about to meet soon.
I'm not that weak guy who runs away when his mentality cracks anymore.
I'll face Cecilia's feelings head-on with confidence.
"Alright, time to go see Cecilia."
...That's what I said out loud,
but when it came time to actually leave, I hesitated.
No, I'd made up my mind. I had, really?
But there was a problem that sheer determination couldn't fix.
I couldn't remember the details of the 'Romance Fantasy' world...
It had been too long.
I remembered everything about Cecilia, but the rest was fuzzy.
"Haa..."
I felt the full weight of my own patheticness as I chugged some cold coffee.
I needed to sort through my memories before heading out.
So... Louise? No, not her. Luina. Right, Luina Ober.
Luina Ober, the protagonist and main heroine of the 'Romance Fantasy' world—I had to conquer her. That was the NTR mission for the romance fantasy setting.
And if my memory served, I'd been pretty successful at it. Luina was suffering from an incurable disease that only I could treat. I'd probably caressed her body under the guise of healing, corrupting her bit by bit.
That should be... on my smartphone...
Ah, found it.
[Joa, why... But it's good, Joa! Don't stop there!]
[It's too good... I'm going crazy!]
My memory was spot on.
Reactions like that meant she was already halfway fallen.
Damn, was I actually pretty diligent about this? Not bad at all?
If I went back to the romance fantasy world and pushed a few more days, I'd have her in no time...
"...Huh?"
But do I really need to complete the mission?
A question suddenly popped into my head.
The romance fantasy world was just another reality I'd live in after getting together with Cecilia. There was no real need to NTR Luina.
If I kept training her and she fully corrupted into an S-rank, I'd get forced back. Risking that for a bit of points might mean wasting a 500,000-point forced return ticket.
Ugh, just imagining it gives me chills.
And even without that, confessing to Cecilia and then training Luina behind her back was absurd. It wasn't respectful to Cecilia, and... well, no need to poke at her scary tendencies.
I didn't want my mentality shaking anymore.
So maybe it was best to stop the Luina NTR right here.
Training Luina had more downsides than upsides.
Yeah, that makes sense. Conquest on hold.
Ah, but of course, that doesn't mean I'd stop treating her.
I couldn't just let someone only I could save die.
Finish the treatment quickly and cut ties...
"Aigoo..."
Thinking it over again, even the treatment itself was a problem.
Because...
The 'treatment' involved stripping Luina naked and fondling her sensitive spots.
I'd made her endure the embarrassment and groped her relentlessly...
And now if I suddenly switched to proper healing, she'd definitely get suspicious, right?
This is why you shouldn't mess with people...
Reflection time again.
"Sigh..."
Still, no helping it. Same conclusion as before.
Just do better from now on.
If I play it off well somehow, it'll work out.
And if all else fails, just let her...
"Ah, seriously, how many times now?!"
I nearly slipped into one-dimensional thinking again.
This was crucial—I absolutely couldn't let Luina die.
As the protagonist, her death could collapse the entire world. It wasn't guaranteed, but it wasn't baseless speculation either. Better safe than sorry. Too much to lose if things went wrong.
So... I had to protect Luina.
Couldn't cut ties even after treatment.
And Cecilia was trying to steal Luina's body?
Had to stop that too. One wrong move and everything falls apart.
Whew... more to worry about than I thought.
Good thing I'd sorted my thoughts before heading back.
My head was a mess with all these thoughts,
but I decided not to overthink it anymore.
My brain was already overloaded.
Plans always fall apart anyway. That's why adaptability matters.
I'll go, do my best. Face Cecilia honestly, talk it out with her, and find the answers.
Yeah, thinking of it that way, it seemed simple enough?
The anxiety in my heart settled.
Everything would work out once I saw Cecilia.
With that in mind, I grabbed a pause ticket and entered the 'Romance Fantasy' world.
"Oop......"
"Father? What's wrong? Please open the door!"
Ah... right, I'd fled to reality because Cecilia came to my room.
I heard the knocking and thought it was from there, but it was this world's sound.
"Sorry...? What do you mean, Father!"
Oh no, I'd said sorry too. This was bad. No time to prepare mentally. Dragging it out might cause a scene. In a panic, I rushed over and flung the door open.
And there she was.
Cecilia, hands clasped together in worry, not knowing what to do.
"Ah! Father! What's... oh."
The saying that memories get romanticized rang hollow—seeing Cecilia after so long, she was even more beautiful than I remembered.
Silver eyes sparkling like stars in the night sky, hair cascading like the Milky Way, skin pale as snow yet flushed with sunset vitality, my daughter Cecilia Asil, a masterpiece evoking tender emotions like a master's art...
Seeing her, no other thoughts crossed my mind.
Like a sulky child, I reached out, gripped her wrist as if I'd never let go, and pulled her into my arms greedily.
"Father...?"
Ahh, Cecilia. How could you be so captivating?
Holding her wasn't enough—I wanted her. Just embracing her fell short. I yearned to feel her existence more deeply, like a naive man ensnared by infatuation.
"Ah..."
I reached out, drew her slender waist closer, and caressed her cheek with my free hand. The cool touch felt divine. Brushing her earlobe elicited a soft gasp from within my arms.
"Hn..."
Reacting to that adorable sound, I leaned down. Her large eyes gazed up at me, sparkling with irresistible allure that I could never tear away from. Drawn like a moth to flame, my heart pounded as her face drew nearer.
"Ahh..."
I wasn't the only one excited. Cecilia wanted me too. Her arms wrapped around my neck, she rose on tiptoes, closing the distance until I could feel her breath. We stared into each other's eyes, holding our breath for a moment.
"……"
After that brief silence, we crashed together like magnets, fulfilling our desires. Our first act of love—over in an instant, yet it felt eternal.
"I love you, Lia... I love you as much as you love me."
As the sweet kiss ended, I confessed my love. The order was reversed, but it didn't matter to us. From the moment our eyes met, we knew each other's feelings. This was merely an expression of it.
"Ahh... Father! I love you too, Father!"
But even that moved Cecilia deeply; she lunged at me again, extending our eternal moment. Beautiful sounds of our lovemaking gently filled our ears, like sinking into a lake of affection.
My mind grew hazy, dreamlike. A sense of accomplishment mixed with frustration. There was more I wanted to say to Cecilia... I'd already confessed my love... Ah, right, this was it.
"So please don't steal Luina's body, okay?"
"......Huh?"
"I love you just as you are, so don't abandon this form."
"......What... what do you mean...?"
"And stop sneaking in at night to service me in secret."
"..............Pardon?"
"So, uh... why am I suddenly so sleepy..."
I had so much more to say, more nagging to do...
But I couldn't fight my heavy eyelids and closed my eyes.
With that, I fell into a deep sleep.
