'What the hell is this duty defense thing I have to do from the morning...'
Time passed, and the wife monster had gone quiet.
'Is she cooking?'
For some reason, it seemed like the wife monster had started cooking.
Not wanting to miss this chance, he slowly cracked open the bathroom door and began peering into the house.
'Just a normal house.'
Just as an inexplicable emotion washed over him from the house's interior—eerily identical to one on Earth—a door across from the bathroom creaked open ever so slightly.
"..?"
"..."
Something stuck out a long neck and began scanning the house this way and that.
'Holy shit...'
The wife monster was at least tolerable to look at.
She had human proportions, two arms, two legs.
If he had to pick one difference from a human... her eyes were pitch black.
Aside from that, she looked no different from an ordinary person, so the wife monster didn't trigger much revulsion.
But this one...
Glance... glance...
With its endlessly extending neck surveying the house, its face embedded with a massive eyeball...
Instinctual disgust welled up; he didn't even want to approach it.
Then the wife monster whipped her head around, locking eyes with it.
"Son... is... up..?"
"!.."
'..Son?'
He heard her call that eyeball monster 'son.'
In that moment...
'Ah..!'
He realized the black status window had assigned him not just the 'husband' role... but 'father' as well.
'I'm... that thing's dad...?'
He had to accept this insane situation where an unmarried man suddenly had a wife and son.
'Sigh...'
In this situation where only a sigh would come...
To escape the current predicament, it was clear he needed to play the father role assigned to him.
'Like the head of a normal household... normally...'
Steeling his resolve.
To act like the head of a normal home, he slowly opened the bathroom door and stepped out.
"..."
The son monster immediately looked down at him from above.
"If you're up, you should greet your dad, you rascal."
To fully play the father, he started with basic family discipline for the son monster.
Bow...
"?"
In the creature's pupil as it bowed its head in greeting...
'..Scared?'
He could sense something like fear.
'..What is it?'
Human eyes hold countless emotions.
Joy, anger, sorrow, pleasure.
And apparently, so did monsters...
'Doesn't seem scared of me...?'
The son monster's massive pupil brimmed with terror.
"Eat... your... meal."
The wife monster hurriedly urged them to eat.
To play the husband fully, he naturally walked to the table and sat.
"..."
As he sat at the table.
He saw the son monster slowly open its door and crawl toward the table.
'This is insane...'
Mom and Dad have two arms and two legs, but...
Why does their kid look like an arthropod with legs sprouting all over its body...?
'..Not like a black kid from white parents... Even cheating couldn't produce this...?'
Nausea nearly rose as the centipede-like son monster, dozens of legs crammed along its torso, crawled to the table.
But vomiting at the sight of his 'son' as a father... that would shatter the role.
Ignoring the crawling—not walking—son as best he could, he looked down at the table...
'Not edible.'
These were unmistakably not for human consumption.
'..Gotta get out.'
He couldn't eat unknown crap from morning, so he pondered escape routes...
Suddenly recalling the wife monster mentioning he needed to 'go to work,' he glanced at the clock...
"..9:30?"
"What's... wrong..?"
"..It's 9:30 now?"
"Yes.. it is."
"..Isn't work at 9...?"
He didn't know where, but he was definitely late.
He stood abruptly and hurried to the front door.
'Gotta check outside at least...'
He'd figure out work later.
Not eating breakfast, he stood at the door, grabbing random shoes.
"Have a... good day.."
The wife monster followed to see him off.
'How would the head of a normal house act...'
Pondering proper husband behavior...
"I'll be back, dear."
With a somewhat awkward smile, he patted her head a couple times.
In that instant...
'..Fucked?'
The all-black-eyed monster stared intently.
To escape naturally, he quickly opened the door and stepped out.
'Haaah... why is this so terrifying...'
Heart pounding wildly.
Having successfully fled the wife monster, now he just needed to...
"..Where the hell is the company..."
Find where to 'go to work'—
"...There it is?"
Obvious at a glance.
The massive building right in front of the house... that was his 'company.'
Probably the school next to it was for the son monster.
'What kind of village set is this?'
Company right in front of home, school right next to company.
Or rather, identical houses clustered around company and school.
Anyone could tell this was a set for 'role-playing'; it was almost ridiculous.
But better than hunting an unknown company in this ghost story world.
'Gotta go.'
Heading to the company with full attention.
[Big Whale's Vlog]

Hello.

Big Whale. Sometimes the heroine secretly thinks of a blonde tanned thug at the end, right? Please say yes please..
Die NTR freak. The world is ruled by pure love.
Don't you know pure love is short for "purely give birth easily"? NTR is true pure love.
Just die holding your breath please
Hold breath and die? Unfair... Big Whale started this...
Big Whale, so is the wife pretty?
S-grade stunner among monsters yy
??????????????
For real?
Yup, among monsters she's genuinely hot. Aside from black eyes, looks like a normal person.
Strip her.
Are you insane??
Suddenly pissed off. Won't help Big Whale this time. Good luck.
That's too much;
Hey! Ryu Big Whale!!!! You're just vacationing in a world with a capital S-grade beauty monster wife!!!
Not Ryu...
Why not deny the rest?? Huh??
Answer!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Company lunch break from 12:30 to 1:30.
The office worker monsters acting their roles still sat silently in place.
'Sniff... stomach's rumbling a bit...'
A bit hungry, he thought of emergency rations in inventory but...
'..Can't eat here, right?'
Felt wrong to eat inside company, so he decided to go home for lunch.
Escape the company overflowing with hundreds of monsters for the house with just two.
'That's why station-area properties are expensive.'
Absurd that home was 30 seconds from work.
Feeling the convenience as he opened the door...
"?"
"..."
"..."
The wife monster was...
sitting atop another monster.
The moment he saw it...
Screech...
He slammed the door shut, pondering the scene he'd just witnessed.
[Witnessed My Wife Cheating]
Surprisingly not bait, it's real.
Went home for lunch during company break, saw wife sitting on some other monster on the sofa.
Seemed like they were eating first, so didn't interrupt and left...
What do I do when I go home after work now..?
???? Not bait but real???
yy... In role-play, my role seems to be the cuckolded husband. What do I do..
Uh... yeah...? First time in history, idk?
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL why shoot love war in shit1 ghost story world LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Doing your best in Big Whale role-play?
yy trying my best. Like librarian role in Bellierd Library—work a week and clear. Maybe same here.
Then... talk to the wife first?
Not straight to divorce?
Can't divorce suddenly without talking after seeing cheating.
Anon 3, can I ask how you know so much about this?
Don't ask shit2
Ah.. yeah.. sorry.
Poor Anon 3..
Anon 3 triggered bad memories by Big Whale
Woo Han Big Whale is the worst.

Kyah!! Seduce her seduce!! Can't miss Big Whale smooching S-grade beauty monster wife!!!!!!
You like Big Whale? Why jealous?
Big Whale is future hubby. Hands off shit2 monster bitch!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'll be Big Whale's second.
Status window translation... even translates "second" wow..
Big Whale. Show patriarchal dad.
What's that?
Become 60s macho. Sigh.. posting advice gd
??
Big Whale what do you wanna do first?
IDK. She's not real wife so why care about cheating... but as husband, kinda miffed she got stolen.
..Big Whale. Why you sound serious?
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL too immersed in role-play LOLOLOL heart feels fluttery LOLOLOLOLOL
Sniff.. why do I feel a bit off from Big Whale..
Making blonde tanned thug monster item and back.
That's Big Whale!
At 6 PM sharp, the silently seated office monsters rose precisely and vanished somewhere.
'Quitting time.'
A bit absurd at their sharp exit.
Sensing it was time to head home, he pondered what to say to the cheating wife monster—
[Big Whale Become a 60s Macho Man]
"..60s macho man?"
As if entranced, he checked Anon 11's advice post.
[Big Whale Become a 60s Macho Man]
Beat wife every 3 days
Flip table if side dishes suck
Demand drinking snacks, slap if slow
Old-school macho: immediate fuck after beating
She kneels politely to speak, smack if not meek ok?
Not macho, just scumbag?
LOLOLOL this is just monster LOLOLOLOL
Not human..
But kinda justified. Wife cheated. Gotta tame her no?
True. Regardless of gender, tame cheating spouse J1N
Expect Big Whale grabbing waist
Anon 1 genius?!?!?!
He closed the community without hesitation.
Follow that advice and he'd get assassinated by a monster while sleeping.
'My wife cheated... how should a husband with kids react...'
If he really had a wife.
How would he react if she cheated? He started pondering.
"I'm back."
"Wel... come... home..?"
Back home, eyes met the staring wife monster.
'If the affair guy takes the wife, can I just live alone here? Sounds okay-ish...'
Suddenly...
Thought that a wife smitten with her lover might kill her husband.
'..Somewhere to run...'
Maybe fake overtime and flee? Hm?
'What's this smell...?'
A gentle aroma tugged his nose, turning his head involuntarily...
There...
"If you... eat... wanna... talk.."
Unlike breakfast, a full table of genuinely appetizing food.
"..Shall I? Didn't eat... much today, kinda hungry...?"
"Perfect.. I'll... grill... meat for you.."
"..Grill meat too?"
"Yes.. you worked... hard.."
"..Thanks de.."
Starved all day without proper food.
Resolved to eat the delicious meal...
"Lo.."
From the son monster's door... red blood, indistinguishable from human, trickled out.
