Chapter Title: Picked Up a Big-Breasted Woman on the Road (1)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
After the intense sex with Yuki Onna.
A short while after passing out, Yuki Onna hurriedly threw on her clothes and fled down from the shrine. It took me quite some time after that to clean up the mess at the shrine before I could head down myself.
Well, it wasn't so bad, all things considered.
'I proved that a snow woman's pussy is warm, right? Cheers to that~'
Even setting aside that somewhat idiotic reason, the information I'd gained this time around was pretty substantial.
The fact that aphrodisiacs worked on regular people too, and...
⚔ STATUS ⚔
👤 Yuki Onna
💔 Corruption Level:20%
😈 Lewdness:2%
🔓 Developed Areas ▼
📊 Conquest Progress:20%
That having sex with someone created a separate screen like this for them.
I stared at Yuki Onna's screen floating in front of me and thought.
'Overall, it's lower than I expected.'
Judging by her behavior, I figured everything would be over 50%. But nothing even hit 30%.
'Wonder what happens when it reaches 100%.'
I dismissed Yuki Onna's screen while musing to myself like that.
Then, as I walked along the sidewalk, I kept thinking.
'For now, things are mostly going according to plan.'
Miyuki's conquest was ready to go as long as I had the money, and the experiments on Yuki Onna had succeeded.
A pretty solid pace.
But there was one thing that hadn't progressed properly yet.
'Bitcoin.'
Bitcoin itself wasn't the problem.
The issue was...
'I'm not gathering initial capital fast enough.'
The severe lack of startup funds.
'This is really throwing off my mining plans.'
The problem was that I'd scaled up my ambitions too much.
The original plan was just to buy some Bitcoin, hold it long-term, and head to Mars...
'I've gone back in time. Am I really gonna settle for that?'
Any other regressor or possessor would laugh at that.
And yeah, I felt the same.
So I couldn't just waste this money-duplication bug event.
I planned to expand to industrial scale, but sadly, I was short on something.
Yeah. Money.
No matter what you do, you need initial capital.
I needed it too, but I was short on it right now.
Okay, up to here, it might not be a big deal.
Money? Conquering Miyuki would solve that to some extent.
But there was one crucial problem left.
'No talent.'
Manpower issues.
If I was just buying Bitcoin, I wouldn't need to worry, but since I'd decided to mine, I needed experts.
Question: Does anyone here know how to mine Bitcoin?
Probably not most people. That's fine. I don't either.
So I needed technicians, but...
'No connections. It's frustrating as hell.'
I didn't know anyone in the field. Everything was in short supply.
Sure, time would solve it eventually...
'But it'd be too late by then.'
By the time I found a computer or Bitcoin expert, the first halving would have already happened.
Thinking about the losses during that time...
'Ugh. My stomach hurts!'
My gut was killing me. If the tree was unclimbable, fine, but this one was climbable—it was just my own lack of skill holding me back.
Of course my stomach hurt even more.
I walked on like that, stomach aching for a bit.
Then I snapped out of it and pulled myself together.
'Whew. Alright. First finish Miyuki, get the money, then scout for talent.'
Whining about it now wouldn't gain me anything.
Takuya thought that to himself as he walked down the road bathed in sunset.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
A few days later.
Unfortunately, still no contact from Miyuki.
I'd checked her screen wondering if something happened to her and even asked Souta, but all I heard was that she was healthy.
So why hadn't she reached out yet?
I'd imagined all sorts of things because of it.
'No way... her husband found out? Or she betrayed me?!'
I even pictured the worst-case scenario, but shook it off by turning my head—it couldn't be that.
Anyway, I hadn't been idle while waiting for Miyuki.
-Screeech!
"Whoa! She went down!"
"5252~ For realz?!"
"Gah! She's too strong?!"
In the meantime, I'd been wandering the neighborhood, clearing various mini-games.
To prepare for the worst case where Miyuki couldn't lend me money.
Thanks to that, I'd done a bunch of mini-games, and in the process...
"As expected of the [Sticker King]! Amazing skills!"
"Wait, I heard [Chicken Fight Emperor]?"
"Nah! He's the [Jump Rope God]!"
I'd become pretty famous among the neighborhood kids and adults.
Made sense. Whenever I saw kids or adults betting on games, I'd go challenge them and smash their records.
And not just one or two—I'd cleared over eight different kinds.
So naturally, I gained a ton of followers.
"Win, King!"
"Show 'em your power!"
"You got this!"
The park where I showed up was filled with cheers, but the man himself...
'What am I, a Pokémon...'
That was all he could think.
After winning yet another game, Takuya addressed the excited crowd.
"That's it for today—gotta manage my condition!"
He wanted to keep going, but with everyone getting too hyped over his wins, he had to stop there.
After dispersing the crowd, he slipped out of the park and sighed.
"Whew... Damn, there's nothing else to do. How do they keep coming to watch?"
His so-called followers showed up every day without fail to spectate his games.
He didn't get why. They said he had some addictive charm.
Hmm? Him?
'Honestly, no clue.'
Because of them, the annoying crowd just kept growing, and his daily earnings were dropping.
He gauged roughly how much he'd made from the jingle of coins in his pocket.
'About 1,000 yen today.'
10,000 yen from some games wasn't bad, but compared to the 50,000 he'd made a couple days ago, it felt unfair.
Anyway, as he finished mini-games and farmed items for the day, his eyes caught a woman in the corner of the road.
No. She was impossible to miss.
'Whoa. Those are huge.'
And for good reason—her breasts and ass were enormous. No, insanely huge.
'Is that the whole "boob monster" deal?'
She was the type that perfectly fit the vulgar term for women with massive tits.
Remembering that crude word from before, he thought that and figured...
'Eh, eye candy. Good enough.'
Then started on his way.
Made sense.
What, go hit on her just 'cause she had monster melons?
No thanks. Aphrodisiacs were precious—didn't wanna waste one here, and besides...
'Something's off about her.'
She didn't seem quite right.
For one thing...
'She's been staring at ants carrying food for minutes now.'
While he'd ogled her huge chest for a few minutes, she barely moved, just kept watching the ground.
And it wasn't just that.
"Hehe. You guys are working hard, huh? Fighting! Fighting!"
Who talks to ants like that and calls themselves normal?
So he figured she was just a bit off in the head and decided to walk past.
That was when he was passing the boob monster woman.
-Vroooom!
A car suddenly sped up from behind. He barely dodged, but...
'She won't make it!'
The boob monster woman watching ants wasn't gonna evade in time.
He considered ignoring it for a second, but...
'I can save her easy! Gotta do it!'
He couldn't just watch someone get hit, so he threw himself at her, shoving her toward the nearby field.
"Wh-whoa?!"
"Hang on just a sec!"
He and the boob monster tumbled into the field.
Luckily, no rocks in the dirt, so they just got muddy clothes—no injuries. They landed safely.
"Ugh."
The boob monster groaned in pain, but she seemed fine.
After checking on her, he climbed out of the field.
The car that nearly hit her was long gone.
He unleashed a barrage of curses toward where it had sped off.
"You fucking shithead bastards! Don't drive like that!"
Had to vent somehow.
After that satisfying outburst, he hopped back down to help the boob monster out.
"Whoa, Prince Charming?"
Right before she said that.
For some reason, he felt a headache coming on, just like when he'd met Misaki.
Damn it.
