Chapter 38 – Chapter 01: Elf Heavenly Horse
“That’s right… “When you told me about your world, Earth, the story of a horseless carriage was incredible, but now this world is also following that incredible world?”
As an elf, compared to humans, Yeonhwa’s sense of time is different. Even though she has been immersed in the forest for decades without any interest in the outside world, seeking enlightenment, Yeonhwa was unaware of the passage of time.
However, through Eugene’s story, she realized that the Orbital Continent she thought she had become accustomed to was changing rapidly while she was just longing for the status of her prefecture, and she let out a little sigh.
“Why? “Do you really feel like you’re getting older?”
“… “If you replace elf age with human age, I am now in my early 20s.”
“Oh, I know from my future knowledge that you are 200 years old and over 5 years old this year…”
“I’m in my early 20s. “If you have any complaints, don’t accept it as a life-or-death struggle.”
“… No, I’m not dissatisfied.”
Eugene was able to realize that no matter how gender-reversed the world is, talking about one’s age in front of women, whether here or on Earth, is a no-no.
Behind Yeonhwa, who had been repeating that she was in her early 20s with a nonchalant expression, the image of Asura, embodied in strength, was threatening to behead her if she spoke any more.
Therefore, even though Eugene is capable of overcoming the fear of death, he shrinks and secretly avoids his gaze from Yeonhwa’s jewel-like eyes because he knows that his life is a waste.
“Big… , In any case, it is important that the world is developing rapidly like the industrial revolution on the Earth where I lived. In that sense, why don’t you go to the islands and see the world for a while?”
“Well… I don’t really feel like it. “I don’t think it will be particularly helpful to my enlightenment.”
As expected, in the original work, even when taking the route of becoming a disciple, it could be said to be Yeon-hwa’s answer as she was a hikikomori who was crazy about martial arts and did not come out of the forest.
Eugene, who knows that fact, also asked without much expectation, so he doesn’t make any further suggestions to Yeonhwa and just leaves the house.
And when Eugene left the house, Yeonhwa, who followed him in her rabbit pajamas as if she had nothing to do, continued the conversation.
“Now that I think about it, didn’t you say that after going to the island, you would go to find the necessary information in addition to getting the necessary items? “What happened to that?”
“There wasn’t any particularly great information. Based on what I knew, I could only confirm that the Crown Princess and her party went on a group vacation during the winter vacation.”
One thing that was slightly annoying was that not only the route heroine, the princess, but all the other main heroines were flocked to it.
‘It’s definitely not a harem route, right?’
Even in the harem route, there was a route where the main character and one main heroine were not clearly connected, and the main character had to unintentionally manage the fishery (accurately according to the player’s goals) due to his indecisive nature.
Among the harem routes, this is the most difficult route. It creates a situation in which the protagonist cannot choose a clear heroine due to the protagonist’s indecisiveness (a result induced by the player), and then continuously increases the favorability of the heroines he wants to add to the harem. .
If this route was successful, the heroines who had mistaken (gaslighted) the protagonist’s indecisiveness for kindness would eventually acknowledge each other’s existence and form a harem.
Because I couldn’t stand to see the main character I love so much suffer because he rejected another heroine!
On Earth, this was the equivalent of accepting another man because he couldn’t see the woman he loved suffering.
However, because the genders are reversed, it is NTR from a man’s perspective! A scene that makes you vomit blood is a harem! Although it does become a situation like this.
Anyway, the important thing is that although this route is very difficult among the harem routes, it is also the only route that allows you to add all four main heroines to the harem.
‘And if you take this route, there is also a route that takes all the heroines and a vacation to a resort in the south.’
… In other words, in some cases, the fact that all the main heroines went on vacation during winter break with the main character could have meant a harem route.
… However, even though he knew that fact, Eugene did not seem to be very worried.
Even though I know that if I go into this harem route, even if I make a wrong choice, the main character’s life will be lost!
… Could it be that Eugene went down the harem route because the main character, Lore, was crazy? Because I had this thought.
‘I don’t know if the player controls it, but in this world that has become reality, the main character, who is just an ordinary commoner, puts on all fours against the four main heroines?’
I can assure you that it was just someone who wanted to commit suicide. Even if she just kills Princess Root right now, it could be said that she is gambling with her life.
Aside from Stral Zenon, the main villain in the first year, the main villain that appears in the second year is the rare double bitch who sells his country to a third force, and finally, the main villain in the third year, who joins hands with the Demon King’s army. An aunt who wants to push out the current empress and become empress herself…
In terms of games, Stral was closer to a tutorial, the 2nd year main villain was a bit heart-pounding, and the 3rd year main villain was the type where you had to grab each item and attack it.
But this is the game, that is, when infinite save load feats are possible.
If this becomes a reality, Orbital World will be an xmanga game where even if you skip the RPG part entirely, if you make a wrong choice at any branch point, you will go straight to a bad ending or dead ending.
In other words, the three main villains that appear in one route are tough to deal with in reality, but what about the other mid-bosses?
Just thinking about that makes me want to take the princess route and attack the princess right now! This means that it is not something that the average person would attempt.
‘Honestly, we should applaud them just for banishing Strahl.’
Even if Stral Zenon was a villain close to the game’s tutorial where he almost self-destructed and was ejected, that was only a story in a game.
If it became a reality, Strahl would have been the archduke’s ancestor. It’s not a joke, but the main character, a commoner, always had to be prepared to risk his life just to confront him.
In such a situation, it would be no exaggeration to say that just being successful in expelling Stral was an achievement.
‘But the harem… ? Harem route… ?’
First year was okay right now. It’s the start of winter vacation, when the harem route begins in earnest.
Should we call it a postponement until the second semester of the first year? This is because the story revolves around the most likable main heroine, giving her a chance to somehow escape the harem route.
However, without officially dating a single heroine until the grace period is over, is the likeability rating of all the main heroines equally high?
Then, we would begin the harem route in earnest. And then hell begins.
This is because about 12 main villains that appear in each main heroine’s route, as well as major mid-bosses, start rushing like crazy every month.
‘Also, when the opportunity arises, the heroines fight among themselves to somehow put their stamp on the protagonist, and mediating that fight is not easy.’
To be honest, there were more cases where I almost died because I got caught up in fights between heroines than with villains.
… In that sense, if the protagonist was in his right mind, he would never have gone down the harem route.
Even if he didn’t have any knowledge of games like Eugene, how would he have called a commoner and a commoner crazy and risked his life just to date him, putting his life in danger?
‘It’s not just against gentle guards, it’s against women who start stabbing you when they catch you cheating?’
Against people who can not only fight with swords, but even start a country-to-country war?
Could it be that the Trojan War of Greek mythology can be recreated in this orbital world?
Hey, a guy in his right mind would never do that.
‘Then! As a result of her insistence that she will never accept a commoner as her daughter’s wife, are you going to set up a harem for someone you have to worry about, including the Empress of the Orbital Empire, who might send assassins in the future?’
That’s why Eugene wasn’t particularly worried. Even if it wasn’t a harem route, there was a route where the main heroines went on a group vacation.
Even after deciding on the main heroine, if the likeability ratings of the other main heroines are quite high, there are cases where they are unable to give up on the main heroine and follow them.
There is even an option to aim for this by switching heroines and inducing a political drama. In some cases, this was necessary to go down the sub-heroine route.
So Eugene said that would have been the case even if the main heroines had gone on a group vacation with the protagonist, so she did and put her worries aside.
‘It’s not like the player is controlling it, but he seems to be quite good at seducing women.’
No, maybe the player was possessed like Eugene.
Honestly, I thought Eugene would be more thankful for this. If that happens, wouldn’t you have a friend who will work together to prevent the destruction of the Orbital Continent, which you should be working hard to prevent right now?!
“What are you thinking like that from earlier? And then the sun rises. “Bonjwa, there is no problem if you fill your meals with Shingyo’s secret recipe, Byeokgokdan, but that’s not the case for you, is it?”
With that thought in mind, Eugene hopes that the main character is also a possessor like him! The question Yeonhwa asked at the time when she was praying.
Eugene finally returned to reality after hearing that question and saw the body of a wild boar rolling in the snow. She looked at Yeonhwa who was looking at her and answered in a sulky voice.
“I thought about it for a moment. … And with that being said, you’re going to end up sharing it with me, right?”
In fact, for a week, Yeonhwa was sharing the meat of the animals that Eugene had hunted for her to eat at every meal.
“Hmm? I never specifically asked you to share the main seat? “Didn’t you personally present the truth to me?”
“Tsk…”
This is the truth. Eugene, who knew through the original work that while staying with Yeonhwa that he did not cook for her every meal and ate alone, her likeability would decrease slightly, had no choice.
The good news is that every time I cook, my liking increases slightly?
In other words, if you stay with Yeonhwa, it is not an option but a necessity to prepare her meals every time you cook.
Surprisingly, in this regard, it could be said to be a heavenly horse that is a little bit of a bitch.
On that topic, she says that it doesn’t really matter if she doesn’t take care of herself, but Eugene takes care of her as he pleases, and it’s really…
‘This is mesgaki…’ …’
It is fortunate that the dignity of the Heavenly Demon is properly maintained by not spewing out unreasonable vitriol…
‘… ‘Isn’t this a more frustrating situation to think about?’
While Eugene is roughly thinking this way, he doesn’t see any benefit in staying with Yeonhwa and losing her favorability, so he starts slaughtering wild boars to provide food for himself and her.
“Hmm, I’d like the sirloin cut for the main meal.”
“… Are you saying you know where the sirloin is? No, it’s more like an elf, right?”
“It doesn’t mean that elves don’t eat meat at all. Well, I am very reluctant. In that sense, this place is special.”
“It’s not that it’s special, it’s that it’s unique…”
It is said that after a week, Eugene began preparing dinner by exchanging tiki-taka, which he had become accustomed to, and Yeonhwa, the elf Cheonma, who watched and nudged him.
+++
After eating the wild boar that Eugene had hunted for dinner, the remaining meat was dried into jerky.
As usual, Eugene entered one of the entry-level hidden dungeons he had found and was working hard to hunt Enemy to obtain magic stones for cash.
