Erobot
Sophie, the Witch of Desire.
I am the Witch of Brainwashing, and that woman sitting demurely before me is the Witch of Desire.
"Just one more time."
"...No."
She said she couldn't feel any sensations herself.
So Sophie made a contract with the villagers.
In exchange for fulfilling their desires, she would take a part of their sensations.
...And so, all the villagers were dominated.
"Why not?"
"...Just because."
And although I didn't hear the specific process, she said she lost all her magical power due to some incident.
Magical power is a vital energy source that replaces the life force of witches, fairies, and spirits.
But her magical power disappeared?
Then she would have no choice but to remain still, like a robot with its power cut off.
If she moved, she would die.
In the end, she just waited for someone else to arrive, and at that moment, I arrived in this village.
"There are plenty of witch clothes here. There's food too... And you said you were being chased by the Royal Family, right? I'll give you a house, I'll give you everything. So just one more time—"
"Ah, n-no...!"
Sophie said there are only two ways to acquire magical power.
The first is to absorb the magical power scattered throughout nature.
The second is to steal another's magical power.
"Harin-a... she's saying that, hmm. Why don't you just do it once?"
But a witch cannot absorb magical power from the air.
—Because they are human.
First of all, a witch's origin is human.
Therefore, they do not possess organs capable of absorbing magical power like fairies or elves.
"E-even so, no."
"Ah, why on earth!? It's not like it'll be bad for you anyway! Besides, you...! You're enjoying it!"
Instead, there is a method of acquiring magical power that only witches can use.
'Satisfying one's own thirst'
In a word, it's 'self-realization.'
One just needs to achieve self-realization. One just needs to achieve what one desires.
"Ha, haha.... No, that's not the point at all."
"You... you enjoyed it just now too. The memory of climax tasted exactly the same as before."
For example, for the Witch of Brainwashing, it is sexual desire.
If I satisfy my sexual desire, my magical power is replenished.
But for the Witch of Desire, self-realization was about fulfilling the desires of others.
She turns people's satisfaction into her own.
She just said she liked it.
"It was really good.... The taste of that desire being fulfilled was tingling... something was welling up... a feeling that couldn't be felt from a man."
This was a restaurant.
It was a restaurant in Mushroom Village, dominated by Sophie, the Witch of Desire.
Sophie asked for sense sharing one more time.
...Though it was closer to pleading than asking.
"Then how about this? There's a man in the village with a really big dick...."
"N-no need!"
"Then what am I supposed to do!? I want to masturbate too! I want to! The women in the village don't have as much desire as you do!!"
Honestly, until just now, I really wanted to torment her.
Because she was the main culprit who tormented me throughout the Bad Ending.
Even though it was in a game, that unpleasant feeling didn't disappear.
...But she actually wants it.
How should I put it, my desire to torment her completely vanished.
"...Dina, are you feeling a bit better?"
I tried to change the subject and spoke to Dina.
"Hmm. I am fine. The Spring's seal has been broken, so there will be no problems for the next six months."
"Ah, right. I'll return this fairy too. Then again—"
As if she no longer even thought of hiding it, Sophie openly reached out to me.
- Thwack!
"Ah, stop it!"
...She's really desperate. Doesn't she get tired?
"...Hmm. It might be good to start moving soon."
Dina also seemed annoyed by Sophie and stood up.
"So where are we going now?"
"The closest Spring from here is in 'Edge Village,' but that place has already been occupied by the Royal Family...."
"Then the closest Spring is...."
"The Underground City!"
Before Pai could finish her sentence, Sophie interrupted.
By the way, an Underground City?
'Is that... the city's name...?'
"But wait a minute. Are you guys seriously thinking of resurrecting the Great Fairy?"
"Hmm. There's no reason to tell you."
"Ah...!"
Dina said that and then moved her feet.
It seems Dina dislikes Sophie.
Serving us food and providing a space to rest was clearly a favor, but....
Honestly, rather than help, I simply wanted her to suffer.
"...Hah, haha. Hey! Are you going to go like that?"
"...Me?"
"Of course! Your current outfit is quite... well... lacking?"
She pointed at my leg with her index finger.
My current attire was just a white T-shirt.
I was walking around without wearing any bottoms.
"Well, it's fine.... The top covers everything anyway."
"...Hmph. Really? I don't think that's the problem."
The top was large enough to cover my private parts.
It was a bit loose, but it wasn't really a problem.
Thanks to that, I had been able to walk around without a care until now.
- Chureuk.
"H-heeek—!?"
At that very moment, Dina extended a tentacle and wrapped it around my leg.
"That... is true. Harin. Why on earth aren't you wearing pants? ...You're so defenseless that you didn't even notice the tentacle just now...."
"Th-that's...!"
I tried to speak but closed my mouth.
'Indeed...? Why wasn't I wearing pants?'
—I don't know.
An indescribable sense of shame washed over me, but at the same time, a strange sense of incongruity also appeared.
'No, no, it's natural, isn't it?'
If it can cover my private parts, that's fine.
Because that's 'common sense,' after all.
It was the same when I lived in the lab.
Anyway, I don't have to wear pants.
In fact, not wearing them makes me more comfortable and allows for better mobility.
Moreover, it's a truly useful fashion that allows me to show off my waist and figure.
Just like putting on makeup, or styling my hair.
It's not particularly strange.
In other words, the 'no-pants' fashion is clearly one of the fashions for dressing up.
It's not strange at all.
"Ah, you guys don't know?"
A cheerful voice.
Between Sophie and Dina, who were looking at me strangely, Pai stepped forward.
"Actually, the 'no-pants' look is a legitimate fashion. I often wear it like that too."
"Th-that's right."
I let out a sigh of relief.
For a moment, I thought I had been mistaken.
"...Really?"
"Hey, Pai. Where on earth did you pick up such a...."
Sophie and Dina looked at Pai with strange eyes.
"Ah, why are you looking at me so strangely?! I'm telling you, it's true!"
Pai stomped her feet as if frustrated.
"...Whatever the case. At least in the Underground City, such attire would be a problem. It's a place with poor public safety."
"That's right, that's right! It's a place where monster subjugation isn't even finished yet, so if you go like that.... Hehehe."
Sophie suddenly laughed slyly.
"Ah, anyway. I'll give you some clothes. Wear those at least."
Sophie seemed happy for some reason.
"I'm still not going to do sense sharing."
"...Ugh. No, I'm just giving them to you...! Just because!"
And then she quickly ran off somewhere to get the clothes.
"Phew... she finally left."
Dina muttered as if annoyed.
"Witches... they always have no idea what they really want."
She grumbled with a look of disdain.
"She'll probably try every trick to follow us. And then, at a crucial moment, she'll betray us...."
Then, with a suddenly enlightened expression, she turned her head towards me.
"...Ah, you, I wasn't talking about you. Uh, hmm. If you were offended, I apologize."
...Ah, right. I was a witch too.
For a moment, unable to understand Dina's words, I stood there blankly.
"Ah, well, it's fi—"
It was then.
"Kyaaaaaaaak!!!"
"—Heeek!!"
A scream that pierced my eardrums.
It was Sophie's scream.
"I-it came from outside!"
Dina didn't hesitate.
She immediately rushed outside.
I couldn't believe it was simply to save Sophie.
After all, if people from the Royal Family had arrived in this village, it was only natural for Dina, the only combatant among us, to step forward.
"Ha, Harin-a...? I think we should go too...?"
When Pai spoke, I was finally able to move.
Because the scream had been quite gruesome, my feet wouldn't easily move.
"Th-that's right. Let's go too."
Still, the Status Window hadn't appeared.
'...I really hope it doesn't appear.'
Perhaps, I guess it's an event.
An event that must be faced.
At this point, we've already passed the Bad Ending.
'...I, I can do it.'
Just as I steeled my resolve and stepped outside.
- Ddiring~

[ Emergency Quest!! ]
* A Witch Hunter has appeared!
Be careful not to get caught.
Hint: Do not go outside the village.
(Hint display can be changed in settings.)
——
* * *
The Guardian of Absolute Victory and Meta Mask.
After sending them both home, I summoned another individual needed for the plan.
"Hmm... oh... good...."
Lee Chae-rin, known in the world as a genius (?) hacker.
A neatly tied ponytail and sharp eyes.
Compared to Harin, she was taller and had a much slimmer figure.
In other words, she was a woman who gave an overall neat impression.
"But... what are you staring at like that?"
"Kyaat—?!"
While I was briefly in the restroom, she was examining the Harin Robot from all angles.
...Especially the chest area.
"Ah, no. It's nothing. More importantly, can this move?"
Chae-rin pointed at the robot.
"Ah, it cannot move right now. I've removed its data."
"Hmm... I see."
She seems a bit disappointed.
Since I promised to give her this robot once the work was done... well, should I show it to her for a moment as a test?
"I can show it to you if you wish. This robot consumes an enormous amount of mana stones, so I had it temporarily turned off. ...Ah, here it is."
This robot's energy source is mana stones. At the same time, it also functions as data itself.
Storing and retrieving information from mana stones.
That's how I was able to create an artificial intelligence close to a human.
- Kigik.
With a sound that might have been mechanical, the robot began to operate.
"Oh, hello Doctor-nim. And this is...."
"This is Lee Chae-rin."
This robot is a direct copy of Harin's memories.
So Chae-rin probably knows too.
"L-Lee Chae-rin!?"
...But the reaction was a bit strange.
"Um, that... Oh, long time no see. Lee Chae-rin...."
The robot was shy.
It avoided Chae-rin in front of it, dodging its gaze here and there.
'This is a bit... curious.'
I didn't specifically add any other settings.
The only setting I added was regarding sexual desire.
Through experiments with Harin, her memories and behavioral patterns had already been perfectly analyzed.
Therefore, the Harin Robot in front of me was in a state where its sexual desire had exceeded the normal range.
In other words, its shyness meant that there was some trigger here that activated her sexual desire.
If so, the variable here is....
I turned my eyes to Chae-rin.
...
"......Ugh."
...Surely not?
"Excuse me, Chae-rin-yang? May I ask why you want that robot?"
I explained.
That robot wasn't just a robot, but a sexual desire processing device.
I fully explained that it was, in other words, an 'Erobot.'
But then she brushed it off, saying it didn't matter.
...Honestly, I was already having doubts back then.
"Ah, eh!? Th-that's naturally to dismantle it and use it for my research...."
"Aha. I see."
Hmm.
It seems my prediction is correct.
She's enjoying it too much.
That undeniable smile is the proof.
I squeezed my eyes shut.
'Should I call this my mistake....'
Blocking all contact between Harin and any men.
Ultimately, placing her in an environment with only women.
To make such a mistake precisely when sexual desire is most active....
People believe that women's sexual desire usually becomes active in their 30s, but that is a result of social and psychological factors.
In other words, women are equally most active in their 20s.
Naturally, biologically, both men and women are in their prime in their 20s.
