Beginning of Adventure?
The Start of the Adventure?
"Hweueu..."
I groggily raised my body.
The sun outside the window stung my eyes, greeting me.
'What happened yesterday....'
Like a lost puzzle piece, I couldn't remember what happened last night.
It felt like I had a ticklish, damp dream.
—Cheolkeok.
"Harin! Are you awake?"
While I was lost in thought, Pai entered the room.
"The current time is 8 AM. We must depart soon."
And following her, Silver appeared.
"Hehe."
"...?"
Pai rested her chin on my shoulder, just like last time, and gazed at me intently.
A subtle sheen glowed on her face.
It was as if she was particularly shiny today, more than usual.
Did something good happen?
"Harin~ We have to go now~ Why are you staring so intently at my face?"
"Ah, no, you were the one staring at me...."
Just as I was about to stand up, following Pai's words.
—Sseueuk
As I kicked off the blanket, a cool breeze seeped between my crotch.
Jjueuuk.
A sticky sensation brushed past my genitals.
"Euit...?!"
Not wearing pants made it feel even more stimulating.
"Eh...? What is this?"
A thick liquid flowed out from inside my vagina.
It was thick like milk left at room temperature, with a Slime-like viscosity.
"Woah~ What is this?"
Pai reached her hand into my exposed crotch.
As her hand touched around my pussy, a tingling sensation shot up my spine.
"Heueut?! Hey, hey...! D-don't touch me so carelessly!"
"Ah, ahahaha~ This is really slippery."
Pai fiddled with the unknown love fluid that had flowed out of my pussy.
As if checking its viscosity, she repeatedly pulled it apart and stuck it back together with her thumb and middle finger.
'This... isn't semen, is it...?'
It felt like white worms were wriggling within the transparent liquid.
It felt a bit lighter than the Ogre's semen I'd seen before, but the texture and smell were similar.
"Harin, did you perhaps have a wet dream?"
"...? What are you talking about?"
I almost got confused for a moment.
"Me...! I'm a girl! Why would I have a wet dream?!"
"You became Futanari last time, didn't you?"
"...What."
Then Pai, as if finally realizing, slightly parted her lips.
"Ah, that's right. You had amnesia. My bad~"
Leaving me bewildered, Pai stood up.
"What are you staring at so much? Alright~ Let's go quickly now!"
...How absurd.
Now that I think about it, The Professor did say there were Futanari here.
'Could I experience what it's like to be a man....'
With such indecent thoughts, we headed outside.
* * *
"Current time is 9 AM. Preparations are complete."
Not a single trace of discomposure was visible on Silver's face.
Yesterday, when she was enjoying herself, she had a shy expression like a child.
Now, all traces of that were gone, replaced by a chillingly serious expression.
"Ugh... It's a bit heavy...."
Pai was carrying a bag on her back that was as big as her torso.
It seemed she had packed aphrodisiacs, Purification Agents, and various potion ingredients.
"Why don't you just pack food...."
"N-no way~ And aphrodisiacs are food, in a way~"
"...."
Unlike Pai, I only packed the necessary items.
An apple and a water bottle... and also dick bread.
But actually, they weren't particularly necessary items.
That's because I don't feel hunger.
Originally, my real body is being nourished by a bio-system.
But Silver and Pai would be hungry.
"Ah! That's right! I need to pack that too!"
At that moment, Pai, as if remembering something, shouted and ran up to the second floor.
And then she came back wearing something strange on her face....
"A mask?"
"Hehe. This is Silver's mask, isn't it? Cool, right?!"
"...?!"
Wait, is it okay to wear that?
On Pai's face was the mask Silver had been wearing.
In other words, the artifact that prevents my brainwashing.
"Hey... hey. Is that o-okay?"
"Huh? Do you want to wear it too?"
However, there was no particular indication that she had been freed from brainwashing.
"Hehe... Jealous?"
She was just the usual Pai, only making unnecessary provocations.
It was questionable whether she was even brainwashed in the first place, but for now, there didn't seem to be any noticeable problems.
"Then, let's depart."
Silver spoke, as if bringing the situation to order.
Now, preparations were complete.
No Bad Ending options appeared, and no other abnormalities were visible.
It seemed that leaving the village was the correct route.
"But... where are we going?"
It occurred to me while we were walking out of the house.
Where are we even going right now?
"Huh? Well, obviously we're going to the forest."
"...So, you're saying we should just run straight into the forest?"
Last night, Pai herself said that monsters lurked in the forest.
Goblins and Slimes were basic, along with vine Tentacles, moving mushroom monsters, and even large spiders and werewolves.
She said various monsters inhabited it, anyway.
...But we're going there?
"It's morning now, isn't it? Those kinds of guys only come out at night."
"Of course, there are monsters that appear during the day, but I can handle them, so please don't worry."
Right, Silver is here.
She said herself that she could use magic.
"...Still, I'm quite uneasy. Can you really use magic? Can you show me once?"
It would be better to grasp her full strength early on, rather than being caught off guard later.
"Ah, in that case, first a fire spell...."
Then Silver extended her hand forward.
It looked as if she was about to demonstrate magic, but....
"...."
That's when it happened.
"...Huh? Silver?"
She stopped moving right there.
Motionless, with her hand extended into the air.
"⋯What's wrong?"
"Hmph~? What's going on?"
Looking closely, her index finger was raised.
As if pointing at something.
"...There they are."
Soon, I followed her gaze to where she was pointing.
"...Oh."
People were visible in the distance.
Not villagers, but people wearing masks.
A group of Ogres and numerous knights.
And people dressed in suits, just like Silver.
They were looking this way, as if blocking the entrance.
"...This is a big problem."
"Uh... shouldn't we run away?"
Pai nervously poked my shoulder.
Ddiring~
As expected, in the end,
the Status Window appeared.
——
[ Warning ]
Pai is feeling uneasy.
Run away.
(Hint display can be changed in settings.)
——
"...Hey."
Déjà vu.
A Status Window like this also appeared when that Ogre showed up.
In short, it meant we were extremely close to a Bad Ending.
I no longer hesitated.
"...Ah! Harin!!"
"Run away quickly!!"
I kicked the ground with all my might.
Where I ran didn't matter.
I just moved as the Status Window instructed.
"Heok, heok."
I ran as far away from the entrance as possible.
And then, in an instant.
—Pakwang!!
A thunderous explosion that shook the ground pierced my eardrums.
"Kkyaaaak!!!"
Pai's scream.
I turned my head and saw flames erupting from Silver's hand.
"Everyone, run away!! I'll hold them off here!!"
"...!?"
It wasn't that.
It wasn't flames erupting from Silver's hand.
A wizard with a staff was visible in the distance.
Her pillar of flame was being blocked by Silver's hand.
—Hwareureuk.
"Ah, hot!?"
A heat like a frying pan pressed against my back.
I ran as if my feet were literally on fire.
I don't even remember how long I ran.
But soon, we would be out of the village.
Another forest appeared before my eyes.
Would I have to part ways with Silver here?
'...I can't help it.'
Surely, various dangers would be lurking in that forest.
Would we, who couldn't use magic, even be able to survive properly?
...Since they said death isn't implemented anyway, perhaps it doesn't matter.
Well, hesitating is also a waste of time.
The explosions were growing fiercer.
Even if we stopped, a Bad Ending awaited us.
And so, we plunged into the forest.
* * *
"Heok, heok...."
"H-Harin...!! It's okay now! S-stop running...!"
I looked back at Pai, who was following me, gasping for breath.
This was a forest filled with the fresh scent of grass.
Even looking all around, there was no proper path visible.
Only rough dirt and grass.
And only a small pond was situated there.
"Harin, you run... so~ fast...!"
Well, that's because your bag is heavy.
More importantly, the problem was where we were.
No, where should we go now?
If we get caught again by mistake... it might be a bit troublesome.
Still, it seems no one is following us, so maybe we should rest for a bit?
"Harin~ I'm a bit tired, let's rest here."
Just as I was thinking that, Pai pointed to the pond and spoke.
"...Okay, let's do that."
No sooner had I spoken than Pai ran towards the pond.
Then she sat down next to the pond, put down her bag, and took out an aphrodisiac.
"Wait! D-don't eat that."
"Why~ I'm thirsty, you know."
...Pai's gaze was unusual again.
It felt like she kept staring between my legs.
"No. If you drink that, you'll attack me again."
"Ah... no, I won't. ⋯Well, I guess there's no choice then."
...Fortunately, it seemed she decided to drink water instead.
"Harin! You come and sit here too! There are no bugs here."
Perhaps her mood had brightened quickly, as she waved cheerfully at me.
"Ah, um. Well."
But I couldn't sit.
No, it was a bit difficult to sit down.
That's because I wasn't wearing pants.
'Maybe I should have at least worn panties....'
However, this refreshing feeling and sense of liberation were incredibly satisfying.
Besides, since there's no one else around anyway, it's fine to expose myself without reservation here.
How should I put it, the feeling of my 'desire pouch' gradually filling up, that feeling is hard to give up.
"Just sit~ It'll feel good because it's ticklish~"
"W-what is that... No, it's fine. I'll just stand."
"Hmph~?"
What's with that 'Hmph~?' again?
Even now, in a way, it's not exactly a relaxed situation.
No Bad Ending options are appearing now, so it's probably correct to proceed like this.
An ominous feeling continued to rise.
Who knows. We might be going the wrong way.
⋯Or is it because this game is open-world?
Ddiring~
Just then, the Status Window appeared at a perfect moment.
——
[ Quest Clear! ]
* You have cleared the following main quests!
< Let's Repay 100 Million Gold! >
→ Bank Unlocked!
< Avoid the Royal Family's Extermination! >
→ Playback Room Opened!
——
'...Bank?'
All the rewards seemed completely out of place with the current situation.
The Playback Room is one thing, but what in the world is a bank?
Bugeulbugeul.
My level hadn't changed, nor had my Experience Value, skills, everything was the same.
Is this really progressing?
Bugeulbugeulbugeul.
"H-Harin! C-come over here! I think there's something in the pond!"
"...?"
That's when it happened.
Pai, as if fleeing, grabbed her bag and ran towards me.
"W-what's wrong?"
"T-there's something strange in that pond...!"
As Pai said, the pond's appearance was unusual.
Bugeulbugeul, like water boiling in a pot.
Just as I was about to run away from the increasingly violent bubbling.
Pukwaaang!!
"Kkyaaaak!!"
A colossal pillar of water filled my vision.
The water pillar, soaring towards the sky, painted a faint rainbow and simultaneously raised a light mist.
And from within it, a voice was heard.
"...Who are you?"
It was a woman's voice.
"What are you doing now?"
Soon, a human form emerged from the faint mist.
"...Oh, you're...!"
Pai craned her neck towards the pond.
It seemed she recognized something.
Shuuuk—!
"Hwaaak!?"
"Pai!!"
It happened in the blink of an eye.
A long stream of water shot out from the pond and grabbed Pai.
I didn't know how the water grabbed Pai, but she was certainly caught.
"—Got you."
"Hwaaaak!! H-Harin!! Save me!!"
I stared blankly at the scene.
It wasn't within my reach in the first place.
I could only watch Pai, caught by the stream of water.
Shuuuuuk—
Cheombeoreong!
"...Eh?"
Just like that, Pai disappeared into the pond.
