Chapter Title: What Now?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
What the hell am I supposed to do from now on?
"Ooh... To think such a beautiful princess could exist in this world...!"
The prince leaned in close to kiss Snow White.
He was handsome enough that you could mistake him for a woman at first glance.
Life must be a fucking breeze. Go die, you little shit.
In the end, the prince pressed his lips to the princess's mouth, who was just as gorgeous as he was.
Squeals erupted from the girls up front.
Fwaaah!
Cold air swept through, scattering snowflakes everywhere.
"Whoa."
I'd been totally sucked into the actors' performance, and this killer staging pulled a gasp right out of me.
Conclusion.
The stages in this world are better than the ones back in mine.
...Or are they?
I'd have to see modern theater to know for sure.
Let me correct that. They're on par with the ones from my world.
I figured without tech or gadgets, the effects would be boring, but nope.
Where there needed to be fire, roaring flames burst out for real, and the fight scenes were so damn realistic that even I, who knew the whole Snow White story, was hooked.
Not gonna mention the part where Snow White and the seven dwarves wielded legendary weapons against the queen's army of 7,000, though.
Anyway, it was top-tier quality that left you in awe.
For the record, those 7,000 were done with shadows, but it wasn't cheesy at all—grand, intimidating, and cool enough to hit the audience full force.
Pop!
As the awakening scene wrapped up, the lights on the prince and princess faded, shifting to the queen atop the castle.
"Snow White... You've awakened."
She muttered it with such resentment, looking like she genuinely hated the princess.
Honestly, she was so good she might as well have been the real star of the show.
And the prettiest, too.
The princess and prince were fucking gorgeous, but after getting backstabbed and ignored by women my whole life, I felt nothing.
Even I had to admit her looks were stunning.
Her icy demeanor only amped up her allure, making the actress playing the queen hands-down the hottest in the play, no contest.
If Yulis was the type of cold beauty with a bitchy personality, this woman felt like the real deal—quiet and composed.
Anyway, I enjoyed the hell out of the play.
Way more immersive than expected; it took over my focus completely.
Which meant I couldn't make the choice.
The one from Gold's offer.
Prynar Academy or stay here.
Fuck.
Remembering what I said earlier made me want to crawl under the covers.
When I'd cautiously asked if that's what he meant, even Gold had looked troubled. Fuck, I wanna punch myself.
Even with those thoughts swirling, I couldn't tear my eyes from the play.
A good while later, it ended, and like everyone else, I stood and clapped.
The troupe came out for bows, dazzling fireworks lighting up the stage the whole time.
"What'd you think?"
Gold's voice cut clear through the noise. I hesitated, then answered.
"Sorry, I haven't decided yet."
"Hm? Nah, not that offer—the play."
"Ah. Well..."
The queen actress flashed a bright smile, unlike before.
Even playing a role that gets humiliatingly beaten by the princess, she could smile like that.
Watching her, someone came to mind, and I smiled too before speaking.
"It was the best."
"Really?!"
"Honestly, I knew the story, so I wasn't expecting much, but it blew right past my imagination."
"Hahaha! I see! I see!"
He laughed heartily, beaming with pride.
Pride?
"Is this play backed by the Hart Clan, by any chance?"
"Yep! Spot on!"
That figured.
A rich guy like Gold, who pays Outsiders 50,000 an hour from the jump, investing in a troupe he likes? Natural.
Unlike my situation, this troupe would promote the Hart Clan and turn a profit.
I glanced at them again.
The prince, princess, and queen—the leads—were front and center, clearly big deals in the troupe.
"?"
"......"
For some reason, my eyes met the ice queen's.
Looking at Gold?
"......"
Nope, definitely at me.
Two seconds of eye contact, then she looked away first.
What the hell.
Did she see my ugly mug and think, "What the fuck is that guy?"?
.....
Nah, no way.
A buddy once told me, "Just cover your eyes and watch your mouth, and you're better than a pretty boy. So shut up and chill."
...Maybe that was his way of being nice?
"Anyway, Outsider Yedre!"
"Yeah?"
I'd zoned out. Gold's gonna be pissed.
But he just grinned wide, no anger at all.
"We'll be sticking around Milf Village for another week or so after the festival ends! Give me your answer by then!"
A week?
"But didn't we agree after the show?"
"Hahaha! If you watched our otherworldly troupe and weren't entranced, I'd be disappointed in your taste! Good thing you appreciate art! I showed you the show, so of course I'd give you an extension!"
Suits me fine.
"But why?"
"Hm?"
"Why go out of your way to recruit me? After the Yulis thing, shouldn't you want me gone?"
Gold smirked.
"I'll tell you once you're one of us!"
Now I'm curious.
I shrugged and asked the other thing bugging me.
"You're staying in the village post-festival... for me?"
Thinking if so, I should answer before it ends, he replied boldly.
"Nope!"
"Not for me?"
Way too quick.
Well, from the little I've seen, Gold's straightforwardness is his charm.
"It's priority now, but that wasn't the original goal!"
Guy knows how to toy with your heart.
If he were a woman, they'd call her a vixen.
"Something huge is lurking near Milf Village."
"Huge...?"
"Remember the female-form slime?"
"Of course."
Not like it was a goldfish memory from two weeks back.
Plus, Yuna's strength and vibe aren't easy to forget.
She called herself an idol, light-years from normal.
"Milf Village has paved roads, solid defenses, and active adventurers. You won't run into monsters unless you head deep into the woods."
"Got it."
"But lately, a ridiculously powerful monster's been popping up in the outskirts now and then. Doesn't make sense."
"Uh..."
"It used to be a newbie adventurer haven, but not anymore."
It was a starter village originally?
"That female slime was one of the powerhouses. Especially strong compared to the others... But when we resurveyed the forest, it was gone."
He muttered regretfully. Perfect chance to wipe it out, but poof.
Good for me it vanished.
Even stronger now, I'd still just paralyze and run if we met again.
"I thought it was weird for a Demon King's direct subordinate to be in the woods. Inexplicable, huh..."
"...Demon King's direct subordinate?"
Gold's voice dropped.
Did I fuck up?
"Which Demon King... No, how'd you know that?"
"Huh?"
About to say the alert told me, but instinct kicked in.
Hide this info.
Gold wouldn't hurt me, but shit could twist.
I backpedaled.
"The monster said it herself. Nothing else special."
"Got it. Alright!"
Whew. Love the straightforwardness.
But... which Demon King?
There more than one?
My questions unanswered, Gold pressed on.
"That's still fuzzy, so set it aside. Main goal's crushing the bandit gang!"
"Bandit gang?"
Milf Village has those too?
"Not just here—covers nearby villages. Big scale, but hideout's a mystery. Elusive bastards, real headache."
"Hmm."
"Real nasty types, need to wipe 'em quick. Oh, they target women a lot."
Sounds fucked up.
Right then, squeals again.
The front-row girls from the stage, ear-piercing as ever.
Missed it during the show, but some wore what looked like uniforms.
Even a twintail glasses girl among 'em.
Gold spots the glasses girl and blinks.
"Oh. Classmates."
"Classmates?"
"Didn't Asita tell you? She's my classmate."
Prynar Academy.
...Prynar.
Word I heard right before coming here, thought it was the game title. Also what the teen hero in that cinematic mentioned.
Definitely key info, but... didn't wanna ask Gold.
Feels like something I gotta figure out myself...
Weird stubbornness even I question, then Gold spoke.
"I remember them. Kids of big shots with pull in Milf Village. Want intros?"
"Nah, I'm good."
Obviously middle or high school girls. No way I chat with that age.
But I said it 'cause I really didn't want to, and Gold's eyes lit up, impressed.
"I see. You wanna climb with your own strength, no connections."
"......"
He jumps to flattering assumptions a lot.
I glanced at the twintail glasses girl again. She was chatting with a black-haired long-haired girl next to her.
Beside them, a bob-cut girl reaching mid-neck, kinda left out. Looked annoyed...
Something off.
This massive, rippling power around her...?
Then the black long-hair girl chatting with glasses turned my way.
...Damn, she's a stunner.
Eyes met, she glared daggers, so I looked away quick.
Hmm. She's gorgeous too.
Rich kids? All pretty, but she's standout.
Compared to ones I've seen, like El or that Loveheart bitch goddess.
Why's she still staring?
"Ugly fuck staring? That vibe?
Old me would've sulked all day from a cutie hating me, but not today.
Thinking of her made me grin.
Yeah.
I'm ditching virginity soon!
Finally, the mystery beauty's gaze left me.
...But where've I seen her?
"Clarit's here too... And that's Sor next to her."
Beauty = Clarit. Annoyed one = Sor.
No need to remember.
"Clarit's probably here for El, but Sor looked busy—why's she here?"
Gold muttered, pondering.
Anyway, if Gold remembers, they're from heavy-hitter families.
Best for dickless Outsider me to ignore.
Better bolt to the inn... lose the V-card...!
On the way back.
Gold offered a room nearby, but I turned it down.
Walking under the night sky felt pretty nice.
Long walk let thoughts swirl.
Prynar Academy.
No info beyond it being the top academy, but one thing nags.
The cinematic hero's backstory was a school.
Main story kicked off when protagonist heads to the academy.
Now this world's real, so what? But gut says going there starts something.
...Eh, who gives a shit.
Too busy surviving now.
Gold gave two weeks—think it over calm.
First, after hugging Nila.
Thump thump. Heart raced.
Honestly, still some guilt. She's married.
But hubby's the cheater, gambler trash, and Nila might still be a virgin, same age as me...
Plus, rejecting again might shatter her confidence as a woman.
Yeah. This is therapy.
Know it's self-justification, but I've held the line morally so far.
Today, I take her.
Virginity gone.
Reached the inn.
No sounds... Did they clear out guests?
I open the door. Nila at the counter stands like she was waiting.
No words.
Just grabs my hand and leads.
Creeak... click.
Door opens, shuts tight.
She flips on dim, sexy lighting, then speaks.
"This is next to the room where my husband cheated."
"......"
"Hold me here. While he ditched me for her, I want to say I paid him back the same."
Her voice—any love for the shota elf gone.
That voice drove me wild.
⚡ SKILL ACTIVATED ⚡
Beastification (Weak Activation)
Minor arousal boost applied
"Hey."
Nila flinched at my cold tone.
"How long you gonna yap? Strip."
"...Yess♡"
Face flushed, she peels off her top. Armpit peeks during—fuck, erotic.
And...
".....!"
"Whaddya... think?"
Her lingerie: cleavage-deep, pure sex wear.
Tits spilling out—insane.
Forgot to wonder if this world even has this shit.
Step close, she looks up flushed.
Now, take this woman.
Hand to cheek, kiss and...
Creeeak
...Door opens.
Every damn thought hit: shota elf? Trap? Etc.
Turned out shota elf, but next door.
Not my night? Then...
"Ufufufu."
Woman's voice.
Nila and I face each other, back to the wall together.
"Fufufu, shall we go all out again tonight?"
Definitely woman.
Nila gritting teeth—must be the cheating partner.
"Hey, can't we stop this now?"
Huh?
Shota elf sounds down?
Thought he'd be panting like a dog in heat...
Well, better not hear dude grunting anyway.
"Oh? After betraying your wife to play with me, you say that?"
"Betray?! It was all your blackmail!"
...Blackmail?
"...Blackmail?"
Nila looked shocked—first she'd heard.
"Can't take the guilt toward my wife anymore! You promised a year from the start? When you giving back the house and land deeds?!"
"Ufufufufu."
She just laughed, then said,
"Still love your wife?"
"Of course! Nila married the act I put on, not my true self! She still follows this fuckup! How could I not love her?!"
Huh?
Plot twist?
Thought hubby was trash, but circumstances? Blackmailed?
Glance at Nila—eyes sparkling, ear to wall.
...This is going south.
She was gonna cheat 'cause he did first, trash behavior—but if extenuating...
Fuck.
Thought I'd lose virginity...
"Sigh..."
Figures I couldn't bag a hottie like this.
Good thing, though.
Guilt over married woman eased with context...
Squelch...
Obscene wet sound.
From Nila's lower belly.
She'd pulled from the wall, fingering herself, staring at me.
"?!"
Fingering as she approaches.
Sultry face, hand to my waist, slowly tugging pants down.
"Wha...? Don't wanna hear about hubby?"
Mosquito voice, but she shushed, finger to lips.
Then... engulfs my cock with her mouth♡
Slurp...
"...?!"
Feels... good.
Insanely.
Looked in her eyes. Pure lust.
📜 EROTIC QUEST! 📜
That's That, This is This!
Nila's been craving you! Hubby's got excuses—so what?
She'll go mad without sex tonight!
⏰ Time Limit: Now
🎁 Reward: Fuck the married woman!!
.....
Hubby's next door, pining for his wife, and I should fuck her anyway.
Why?
Utter trash move, yet my dick's harder than ever.
