Chapter 238 – Episode 238: The Fourth Scenario (1)
Takuya couldn’t bring himself to say anything as he looked at Yoshimi, who was glaring at him with a pouty expression.
It couldn’t be helped.
Yoshimi-chan had her own reasons for acting this way.
‘Damn it, why did she have to come when I was playing the hardest mode…’
The reason Yoshimi was treating him like this was simple.
She had caught him having sex with Aiko before.
The problem was that the sex was a rather hardcore SM session.
Thanks to that, Yoshimi saw him as a bad man who was tormenting her mother.
He was her father, for crying out loud.
Of course, he didn’t reveal that fact.
It was an agreement he had with all the women who had his children.
At least until the kids became adults and could take care of themselves, they would reveal the truth.
Except for Miyuki’s case, as proof, they all used his surname.
Anyway, from Yoshimi’s perspective, who didn’t know the truth, Takuya had appeared to be tormenting her mother. It was understandable that she was wary of him.
Of course, Takuya, the person involved, was…
‘My heart is breaking…’
Even though he hadn’t seen her face much, he was still her father. To be treated like this was just sad.
While Takuya was feeling sad inside, Aiko spoke sternly to Yoshimi, who was yelling at Takuya.
“Yoshimi! You shouldn’t talk to your brother like that!”
At Aiko’s words, Yoshimi didn’t back down. Instead, she puffed out her cheeks and retorted to her mother.
“Why is this man my brother! And this man was tormenting Mom!”
“I told you before, it wasn’t tormenting, it was…”
“Aiko, I’ll come back another time.”
“Ah, okay. Goodbye.”
Takuya quickly left the scene, sensing that their fight was going to be a long one.
Why did he leave? Because last time he was at the scene of a fight, he had his mental energy completely drained by the mother and daughter’s battle of wills until dinner time.
Even though they seemed to be fighting like that, they would make up again soon enough.
In fact, his presence only made them fight more.
This was also something he had learned from experience.
Anyway, Takuya got into his car and sighed deeply.
It was so hard to try and live well when he only had one body.
As Takuya got into the car, he was about to tell the driver to head to the mansion where Nozomi was, when he changed his mind.
“Um, please take me to the empty lot where you dropped me off before.”
He decided to change his destination slightly.
Takuya had been through a lot today, and for some reason, he felt a little nostalgic for his old house.
It seemed like he should go and see his old house for the first time in a while.
And a little while later, Takuya arrived at his old house and smiled at the clean exterior.
‘It was worth spending the money to restore it.’
In fact, Takuya’s house had been completely destroyed during the last major earthquake.
No, it wasn’t just destroyed, it had simply sunk.
Thanks to that, he had to head to Tokyo with very little money, but thanks to Elder Yuzuke’s help, he managed to get through it safely.
Anyway, normally, he would have just sold the land after it was destroyed, but Takuya felt a little sad, so he spent a lot of money to restore the house to its original state.
This was something he hadn’t told Ayaka and Yuka’s mother.
This place was like his secret hideout now.
—Click.
Takuya entered the house to find some mental stability.
“Hmm?”
As soon as Takuya entered the house, he felt that something was off.
There was nothing different about the exterior.
He was sure of it, as he had already checked it several times.
So, what was wrong?
‘The smell is different…?’
It was the smell.
To be precise, instead of the musty smell of a wooden building, there was a fragrant scent of grass.
You might say that wasn’t strange.
This building was made of wood, but it wasn’t like there was so much grass that it smelled like water.
It would have to be in the middle of a forest for it to smell like this.
In other words, it was a very abnormal smell.
Just in case, Takuya quickly put on a gas mask from his subspace pocket and carefully entered the house.
And there, in the living room, was surprisingly…
“Uung…”
‘A girl?’
There was a girl.
And…
‘Pointy ears, silver hair, and white skin, could it be, an elf?!’
It was a girl who looked exactly like the mythical race, an elf.
***
Takuya quickly returned before the girl woke up.
You might ask why he was running away from his own house, but he had his reasons.
It was because the girl who was sleeping there looked like someone he had seen somewhere before.
And that was…
[The Legend of the NTR Man.]

[Fantasia ~ The Elf Who Seeks the Fruit of Illusion Becomes Lewd.]

[Hypnosis Breeding Uncle.]

[She Becomes Vulgar in the Gym Storage.] [Cleared]

Lewd City Horror Story Series. [Partially Cleared]

In the games of the Ero Villains.
And out of those games, there was only one game with a silver-haired elf.
‘I found it. Right. She was the main character of [Fantasia ~ The Elf Who Seeks the Fruit of Illusion Becomes Lewd].’
Fantasia ~ The Elf Who Seeks the Fruit of Illusion Becomes Lewd.
The main character, Sylphia, was a beautiful girl who went on an adventure to find the Fruit of Illusion because her parents were sick. She went through various incidents and was humiliated in the process. It was a so-called female protagonist humiliation genre.
‘It was quite difficult and hard to play, so it was very polarizing…’
Takuya had only watched the name and walkthrough videos a few times, but he had never actually played the game properly.
How did he watch the gameplay videos of an eroge? It wasn’t a big deal, he saw it in a speedrun.
This game was a Tsukuru humiliation game, but if you were really good, you could clear the game without the protagonist being humiliated.
Anyway, that’s why he didn’t know the details, but he knew roughly what the main character looked like.
And that main character was just lying there in his house.
Let’s say that a being from a fantasy world entering a game was possible, since so many impossible things had already happened in reality.
But why was she sleeping in his old house, even acting as an air purifier?
‘Thinking about it, it’s ridiculous.’
He knew it was ridiculous. But why did he run away?
The first reason was that he didn’t know how she would react.
Even though she looked like that, she was a resident of a fantasy world.
Takuya couldn’t guess how she would react when she realized that this was another world. And another reason was…
“We have arrived at the mart.”
“Ah, thank you.”
It was to buy things that she might like.
What did Sylphia like?
He didn’t know the details, but he heard that her staple food was fruit. So he was going to buy some fruit and then go.
Takuya quickly did his shopping at the mart and headed back to his old house.
And it was on his way back to the house.
【The Fourth Choice】
[You have encountered Sylphia, the elf friend of the forest. What will you do with her?]
[1. Help Sylphia find the fruit.]
[2. Leave Sylphia alone.]
[3. Provide Sylphia with financial support.]
[4. ???]
[*Warning: If you do not choose, it will be randomly selected.]
As if waiting for it, the choice screen appeared.
Takuya was lost in thought as he looked at the choices above.
If it were the usual Takuya, he would have chosen the first option without hesitation.
It wasn’t just because she was a filial daughter.
It was because this scenario would give Takuya a considerable reward if he succeeded.
Not only would it allow him to sleep with a woman, but it would also give him items that he had only imagined.
Of course, he could endure a little hardship to get this.
On top of that, Takuya had a rough idea of how difficult her journey would be.
He had seen some bad endings while watching speedruns, and he remembered that there were some pretty hardcore endings.
That’s why he wanted to choose the first option if possible, but there was a big problem.
The problem was that the story of finding the fruit with her could mean that he would have to go to ‘another world’ with her.
What did that mean?
It was exactly what it sounded like.
There was no such thing as the Fruit of Illusion in this world.
So where would he find the Fruit of Illusion? The answer was simple. He would find it in the world where Sylphia was from.
In other words, it meant going to another world.
If Takuya was a jobless bum with nothing to lose, he would have immediately chosen that option, but unfortunately, Takuya was a man with a lot to lose.
Of course, he couldn’t immediately say that he would help her.
That’s why he looked at the other options, but they were all ambiguous.
Of course, he excluded leaving her alone, and financial support? There was an event in the game where she was raped by merchants because she was short on money, but he remembered that there was a similar event even if she had money.
So, he excluded that.
Then the only option left was [???]…
‘I don’t know.’
Takuya had no idea what this option was.
Thanks to that, only sighs echoed in the car on the way to his old house where Sylphia was.
