Irreversible Dogma
"Kuh...!"
A chill ran down my spine, and my entire body trembled uncontrollably.
With a dizzy headache and a wave of heat desperately trying to escape from my body, I writhed.
The Master was looking at me worriedly, spraying cold water from the shower.
"...What happened?"
"Master? Where am I? I was just kissing you a moment ago...."
Ugh...!
Fragmented memories were swimming chaotically in my head.
The memories that were normal just a moment ago were strangely broken in parts, making it impossible to understand.
'It's fake.'
In front of me lay numerous Affection Gifts.
Even the pain throbbing in the affection display part of the Stigmata.
It was similar to the situation of 'forced memory injection through Affection Gifts' that I knew well.
"It seems my expectations were off."
"Are you okay? Sorry, I forced it too much."
"...I thought I was okay too. Don't worry."
Since my memories weren't sorted yet, I was a bit confused.
When I looked at the number of gifts, it seemed the affection level had increased by 20.
Currently 58, so originally it was 38, but since affection levels change often, I don't remember the exact original value.
Anyway, it's hard to blame the Master for this.
I had given permission thinking there was no problem.
If there was a problem, it was my choice to agree.
'Fake memories, how unpleasant.'
Of course, most of the memories of cuddling with the Master were real, so experiencing them wasn't bad.
But it felt like the system forcibly stole the possibility of a sweet first experience with the Master.
'Especially the last one was a bit much.'
Even though I loved the Master and entrusted everything to him,
he deliberately did lewd things, mixing his tongue as if I were a female.
As a man originally, I couldn't accept such lewd actions even for the Master.
'So, that memory is fake.'
How could I, who knows this well, pounce on the Master to satisfy my lust?
There's no way.
Haha, the quality was high until the end, but he made a big mistake at the last.
The crappy fake memory guy couldn't break me this time either.
Because I still maintain my original self without being swayed by those fake memories.
Probably the fool who tried to torment me with such a system is regretting seeing my great self.
...Still, since it wasn't a pleasant experience, I have no intention of doing such foolish things again.
"Master, I'm fine. I overcame it this time too."
"R-really?"
"Of course, there are some confusing parts, but you can help with that, Master."
"Yeah, I'll help."
You don't know what's going on, but I like the Master who rushes towards me without thinking.
It feels like my heart is full of the Master, and I'm very happy.
Ah, that's not it.
The reason I asked for help from the Master is simple.
To do those foolish fake memories with the Master directly.
Ultimately, the conflict between fake memories and real memories is because they think there are memories even without them.
If I overwrite them with more detailed and real-like memories,
I can solve the problem cleanly.
'By the way, when kissing, he was handling the future quite well?'
He was talking about the Peter raid boss.
That guy is the boss of the 5th publicly revealed raid.
And now, after the research lab guild became allies, it's the enemy.
So, it's a point half a year or more in the past.
I wonder why he showed that time specifically.
...If I assume there was no Affection Gift, would that mean the affection level would have been around that at that time?
Honestly, I don't know what criteria the memories are made with.
"Now it's okay. Pour some water."
"...Thank goodness."
Don't make a face like you're about to cry. I want the Master to smile."
Of course, if I tease a little and he pouts, it might be cute.
But now the Master isn't like that, he's feeling guilty about giving me the Affection Gift.
That doesn't sit well with me.
"Let's eat cake together."
"Ah, cake."
"I can't eat all this, but one is fine, right?"
The Master agreed with my opinion and opened the box.
A very appetizing cake decorated with Jasmine flower-shaped cream appeared.
The size wasn't that big, but it was appropriate for two people to eat.
"It tastes good...!"
"Really?"
Moderately sweet, and the cream on the flower part was refreshing, not burdensome.
The outside of the flower was cream, so it's pure white, but inside it had strawberry syrup to balance the heaviness with freshness.
With a very balanced and good taste, I quickly ate half the cake that had been cut.
"One more?"
"Yeah, it's all yours. You don't need permission."
"No. This cake is mine. Since it's the Master's, I need permission for my actions."
"I like all the actions Jasmine does, so I don't need permission for anything in the future."
It would be nice if you explained, but before that, getting permission or such isn't necessary at all.
...The Master is quite bold in his words.
"If you live with such a fragile heart, it'll be a big problem."
"Really?"
"Even just me, if I have no leash, I can immediately imprison the Master and make him mine?"
Of course, there's no reason to do such foolish things.
But anyway, since the Master is a Minor entity, he's too weak in terms of power.
I thought some confirmation process was necessary.
"It's fine. If that's Jasmine's thought, I'll accept it without complaint."
"...Really, you're consistent."
Throwing such straight lines every day, I can't help but fall for it.
And since you're so delicate, I have to support and protect you from the side.
I'm sorry that my performance is poor, and I can only help with my head....
What can I do.
The 'Jasmine' that the Master likes was born that way.
The Master seems to not want to accept that, but there are things in the world that can't be helped.
"I should organize things soon. Today was tough too."
"Yeah, thanks."
When tidying up the room before bed, my eyes fell on the notebook left behind from the morning.
It was to use as insurance for surviving, to learn about the Noah's Perfume Bottle Project.
But thinking about it, I have no reason to proceed with that project.
'Because it's a project only usable by Major entities.'
Then, the Master can't obtain that project.
Let me survive alone and let the Master die.
I can't choose such an unreasonable option.
Can the Noah's Perfume Bottle Project target Minor entities as well?
The Noah's Perfume Bottle Project has not considered targeting Minor entities. However, information on awakening Minor entities that have not yet awakened as Major entities is available. This information can be obtained by paying the cost below.
Anyway, this notebook is special.
If the answer to the question is simple, it answers for free.
Instead, for derived or difficult questions, it requires other information as cost.
'So, it means no.'
Then, no matter how much preparation, there's no reason to use that project.
Of course, if the Master becomes a Major entity, it can be used sufficiently.
But according to the settings I know, the Master is a perfect Minor entity, so there's no possibility of awakening to Major.
I closed the notebook screen.
I can't waste information on unnecessary things.
The information I was going to send wasn't anything special, but it might be useful later when buying other information.
"Busy?"
"No. It's all done."
Since he said he's going to sleep, but suddenly saw me tapping the notebook, he probably felt strange.
The Master came to pick me up after lying down on the bed.
...Yeah, with me not there to warm the Master, this is a problem.
"Master. It's fortunate there's an air conditioner."
"Air conditioner?"
"I can sleep hugging you like this even in summer."
"That's right."
Because it's hot, we distance ourselves every night.
Now, I'm used to sleeping feeling the warmth from the Master's embrace and smelling the fragrant Master's scent.
If that disappears, probably I'll have to make a bed every night.
"Good night, sleep well."
"Sleep well."
After exchanging greetings, the Master and I hugged each other as hard as we could.
With our faces buried in each other's embrace, we shared the thick fragrance flowing from our scents.
...Not much, but it's a perfect position to relieve fatigue.
"Sshhh... Paha..."
Filling my tired body with the very sweet Master's scent.
That is the ultimate fatigue recovery medicine.
Because it has become a very natural common sense to me.
