141. I'm a Piece of Trash No Less Than Ter.
141. I'm a Piece of Trash No Less Than Ter.
[Will you go back in time?]
[Y/N]
"...What the hell is this."
A single choice appeared the moment I opened my eyes.
For now, since anything weird could just go to hell and back, I pressed N—no to the time regression or whatever.
"So this is... well..."
Where am I.
I blankly looked around.
An unfamiliar yet oddly familiar ceiling.
A stiff, coarse-feeling blanket.
And right next to my body, I felt a soft, warm sensation.
...Warm?
Wondering if Mai had crawled into my bed, I slowly lifted the blanket.
"Mm... hi?"
"........?"
I lowered the blanket again.
"....??"
It wasn't Mai.
It was not Mai.
Brownish hair, not blonde.
Short hair, not long. And eyes looking up at me.
"............"
Yuno was there.
Right beside me, no less.
She was even hugging me without a single stitch of clothing on.
'...What the hell is this for real.'
A feeling of my rationality failing to catch up to reality.
I let out a light sigh and slowly reorganized the situation.
"Yesterday, clearly..."
Yesterday, I saved Yuno.
But perhaps because time was delayed a bit, the carnal crest had been engraved on Yuno, and Ultimately, I saved Yuno—who had been tortured by the carnal crest for hours—through a 'special method.'
After that, I intended to return without looking back, but perhaps due to the aftereffects of her chastity nearly being defiled, her mental state was visibly reduced to that of Garu——so I had no choice but to engage in relations for medical purposes.
Excluding personal feelings, it was purely a relationship to save Yuno.
I couldn't even use a condom in order to erase the carnal crest, so I devoted myself to treating Yuno all night long——or so I made a grand speech about it, but truthfully, that was pretty much what happened.
Sex.
And raw sex at that.
'Can I even handle the NTR Rank?'
Actually, I had thought about this part in advance.
From the start, Yuno had been in danger of being captured and eaten by the succubi.
So even if the NTR Rank went up, I could make the excuse that, to the very end, this was an incident caused by the succubi.
However, in this case, Merk needed to align her story, but that part would probably be handled smoothly.
'She may lack a conscience, but she doesn't lack loyalty.'
Since I saved her life, she would likely play along enough.
Then what remained was to explain the situation to Yuno appropriately and get her to understand and accept it.
On top of that, just in case, I also had to check if the carnal crest was properly erased.
Having roughly organized my thoughts up to that point, I steadied my heart and slowly lifted the blanket upward.
"Hi, Chrono."
"...You look like you're doing fine."
A bright smile.
I wondered if this was really the kind of smile one would show to an NTR villain, but I didn't bother to care.
"Let me see your stomach for a second."
"Huh? W-wait, suddenly——kyaaah...!"
When I pushed her down with force, Yuno pretended to be overpowered and went along.
She put in some strength as if resisting, but subtly gave her body over—is this what they commonly call playing the fox?
I went on to scan above her womb and checked if the tattoo had disappeared.
'It's probably all erased and gone, right?'
I didn't remember clearly, but I recalled doing it at least once.
That should have been enough to subdue the power of the carnal crest. In that gap, if I had created Holy Flame with my recovered divinity and burned the carnal crest, the carnal crest should have vanished long ago——but.
"The carnal crest... remained?"
The carnal crest still remained.
Flustered, I stared intently at the carnal crest and racked my brain.
'...Did I fail?'
No, that's not it.
If I had failed, Yuno couldn't possibly be this fine.
By now, she should have either run outside to become a lustful slut who craves affection, or at the very least, she should have been squirming in front of me, slowly rubbing her legs together and panting like a dog in heat.
But the current Yuno?
"If you keep staring at me like that, I might get a little embarrassed."
".....Yuno."
She was normal.
In fact, she seemed a bit more lively than usual.
Yet, the fact that the carnal crest was still there meant it was one of two things.
One, it was a curse so strong that even recovered divinity couldn't erase it.
But this case didn't apply, at least not in front of Yuno, the Apostle of Hera.
The Holy Flame she possessed was a fire that burned away all that was unholy.
Even if the carnal crest was considerably strong, at least a small trace of it should have remained.
But Yuno's carnal crest was clean without any wounds.
In that case, only one answer remained.
'No way, right?'
No. It had to be no.
But Ultimately, there was only one answer left.
"You... don't tell me you deliberately didn't erase this?"
If Yuno herself didn't want to erase it.
Actually, it wasn't an entirely impossible scenario.
When the NTR Rank was considerably high, the Bond Rank with the Protagonist was considerably low, and also when the infidelity event was breached past a certain threshold, a voluntary corruption event also existed.
Since the story of the main heroine—whom you thought would never betray you—actually sleeping with another man elsewhere while you were cheating yourself was a cliché among clichés.
So it wasn't completely nonsense that Yuno would resist by saying she wouldn't erase the carnal crest, but....
"Yuno, I'm saying this just in case, but if you become a succubus. At that moment, I'll blow your head right off."
"Chrono...."
Obviously, that was a lie.
I had no intention of blowing anyone's head off.
But if she became a succubus, if she tried to become a succubus...
'Terrrr...!'
...At that point, wouldn't it be better if I just NTR'd her away instead?
It was a situation surprising even to myself, as my mental world was gradually shifting to be more NTR-friendly, but if a situation occurred right now, well, I'd just have to accept it, wouldn't I?
'I thought he'd do well on his own if I left him alone.'
But what was this when I opened my eyes?
He kicked away the lifelong heroine right next to him and turned his eyes to some other strange place.
Furthermore, he was using the original story knowledge I had in the most bizarre way possible.
As the situation worsened day by day, I was starting to wonder if this bastard was the original Protagonist or someone pretending to be the Protagonist.
"Haaaaa...."
Anyway, my principles of action were the same as ever.
So that the heroines wouldn't get NTR'd.
So that when the dungeon burst later, the heroines wouldn't be stained by the Abyss.
And ultimately, a pure love happy ending where everyone could be happy——had already blown up, hadn't it?
'What the hell do you want me to do about thaaat...'
From Mai to Minerva.
And now, today, I even laid hands on Yuno.
Ur seemed generous about this sort of thing, so it was fine, but if Mars found out——first of all, I started to feel like I should build up my stamina a bit.
Ultimately, this summer vacation would start with intelligence and end with stamina.
"Let's erase it quickly and be done with it. Leaving it there isn't going to do anything good."
For now, I decided to resolve the immediate problem in front of me.
Erase Yuno's carnal crest. The next matter would be thought about afterward.
"....I don't want to."
"Right. Erase it quickly——what?"
Don't want to?
Why? For what reason?
Uncharacteristically, Yuno averted her gaze, but stubbornly refused to erase the carnal crest.
"No... you want to become a succubus?"
"I don't want that either."
Yuno's 'don't want to' attack.
I didn't know where she learned it, but I, the one on the receiving end, was just starting to get annoyed.
"...I said it a moment ago, but if you become a succubus, I'll kill you that instant."
I mixed in a little threat and pressured Yuno.
At this, Yuno flinched and trembled, but still...
"At that time... Chrono would save me, right..?"
"That... well..... haaa."
Well, I would save her.
If she sent a text message asking for help, I was confident I could stop time that instant and rush over.
But——strictly speaking, that wasn't my role, was it?
"You have a boyfriend. Where do you leave Ter and act like this to me?"
"Ter? To me?"
".....Tssssss."
Even though it was only two words, the persuasive power was overwhelming.
But what could I do? As far as I knew, the only route that could definitively make you happy was the Protagonist pure love route.
"Even so, he's your lover. If he knew his lover was in danger——"
"——He's having a good time with the succubi, so whatever."
".........."
That, what I just said earlier,
when the NTR Rank is high,
and the Bond Rank with Yuno is low,
and the infidelity event gets thoroughly triggered.
"...If not, is Chrono going to abandon me too?"
"Why are you saying 'abandon' when I never even had you in the first place??"
"Then you can just have me now!"
"Did your personality suddenly change or something?!!"
It seemed this was exactly that kind of situation right now.
"Anyway! Now I like Chrono more than Ter!"
".......Ha."
Yuno shouted with all her might.
Now that things had come this far, refusing was also ambiguous.
What if I refused here?
Yuno's NTR event would not head towards me, but towards another direction.
But could the Protagonist block an NTR event that had bounced outward?
Probably impossible.
So what if I stepped up and blocked that too?
At that stage, it was nothing but deception towards Yuno and, to put it simply, a shitty move.
"Fuck."
A thick curse came out after a long time.
Ultimately, going in circles, this was all I could say.
"I have someone I love."
"....I know. But——"
"——And I'm two-timing."
"Even... so...."
Ur and Mars.
That makes two. Was there even room for thought?
I continued speaking.
"Mai, come out."
"I've been waiting!"
"Eek...?"
Mai, who had been hiding near the bathroom, approached my side and nestled into my arms.
"She's my servant demon, and she did everything."
"..........."
Three.
It didn't end there.
"With Minerva too. We did everything during this vacation."
"......What."
Number four.
Multi-timing that had gone beyond two-timing.
It was a situation hard for Yuno, a pure love faction member and a devoted sunflower, to handle.
"Chrono, no matter how much you dislike me, I don't think it's right to go as far as telling that kind of lie."
"I don't dislike you, and I'm not lying."
"..........."
A truth that couldn't be denied even if she denied it.
If Ter was trash who couldn't even guard the one woman beside him,
Well, I was a multi-timing madman who played around with all sorts of women.
So, Yuno.
"I'm just as much of a piece of trash as Ter."
Even so, do you still like me?
As a side note—
—Wooooong...!
"....No, why is that."
Yuno's carnal crest began to shine.
"....Uuht...!"
"..........."
Even so, it seemed she still liked me.
...I really didn't see this coming at all.
