Chapter 239 – Episode 239. The Fourth Scenario (2)
After a moment of deep sighing, Takuya, who had been agonizing for a while, finally managed to make up his mind.
He had decided what to choose.
Takuya, with trembling hands, pointed at the [???] option on the screen in front of him.
It might be hard to understand why he chose the ??? option.
Originally, Takuya had also intended to press the first option.
However, the window that appeared after he pressed the screen changed his mind.
[To obtain the Fruit of Illusion, you need to go to the continent where Sylphia is. Would you like to transfer to another world?]
No matter what, transferring to another world was out of the question. Not for someone who was living a perfectly normal life.
Then, what about financial support?
Takuya desperately searched his memory for the speedruns he had seen before, and he was soon able to come to a conclusion.
‘Financial support alone won’t allow me to clear the game.’
No. It might be possible to clear the game.
But the items that could be bought with financial support were certainly a great help. But that was it.
It was not enough for the decisive clear.
Moreover, he had to consider the possibility that the unknown monster that had appeared last time could appear again.
Therefore, Takuya had only one option left.
It was the [????] option that had been there since the beginning, but he had never touched it.
Honestly, he really didn’t want to choose it if he could help it.
Takuya wasn’t a big fan of gambling.
If he had to choose, he preferred to play it safe.
Especially when it came to matters that involved people’s lives.
But all the options were pointing to this [????].
So, he had no choice but to gamble.
‘Ah, is this really the right thing to do?’
Even up to the moment he made the choice, he couldn’t stop thinking like this, but Takuya had no choice but to choose the [????] option.
Everything was shrouded in mystery, but at least it would be better than the previous options.
With that flimsy belief, Takuya chose [????], and the message that appeared on the screen after Takuya made his choice was.
[You have chosen a hidden option!]
[A new path has been opened.]
These were things that Takuya had not expected at all.
While Takuya was bewildered by the unexpected message on the screen, more messages began to appear.
[After talking to Sylphia, build trust! More opportunities will be given to the player!]
Takuya honestly couldn’t understand what that meant.
But he knew one thing.
‘Okay. At least I can talk to her, right?’
After making that judgment, Takuya carefully opened the door and entered the house.
As soon as he opened the door, the first thing that greeted Takuya was the fragrant scent of grass.
As he inhaled the pleasant scent of grass and headed to the living room, he saw Sylphia still lying there, seemingly unconscious.
Takuya didn’t bother to touch her.
He just took out an apple in front of her.
And a moment later.
—Swoosh.
Sylphia’s eyes, which had been closed as if she were dead, slowly began to open.
‘Hmm, it’s just like in the game.’
In the final true ending scene after the speedrun, she was crying and eating an apple that her mother had peeled for her, so he brought one, and it worked.
While Takuya was internally cheering, “Nice!”
“W-Who are you?!”
The elf, no, Sylphia, who had been lying down until just now, got up and asked Takuya in a voice full of bewilderment.
By the way, the language was naturally Japanese.
‘Is Japanese the language of another world?!’
That wasn’t it, and he figured the screen was probably just translating it into Japanese.
Although it didn’t exist yet, in the future, there would be translators that would speak in the user’s language, so it wasn’t that strange to think of it as an extension of that.
While Takuya was thinking to himself, the girl who had just woken up, Sylphia, was in a state of panic.
No. In fact, it was a situation where she had no choice but to panic.
Anyone would be flustered if a muscular, handsome man in his mid-180s was in front of them.
Especially Sylphia, who had suddenly been possessed by a strange world.
As a result, Sylphia looked at the man in front of her with great caution.
After staring at the man with a tense expression for a while.
The man in front of her spoke to Sylphia.
“Um, can you understand what I’m saying?”
Sylphia was startled by the man’s words.
It wasn’t because how could a human speak the language of the elves?!
To be precise, it was because he was the first human she had spoken to since she had fallen into this strange world.
‘Finally! Finally, I can communicate!’
As a result, the tension she had initially felt was gone, and the word “cheer” welled up in her heart.
Perhaps it was because her guard had dropped. Sylphia clung to the man and began to fire questions at him like a machine gun.
Her appearance was so desperate.
‘What’s with her?’
Takuya, who was receiving the questions, was more bewildered.
Anyway, Takuya answered all of her questions.
Well, the questions weren’t that big of a deal in the first place. It seemed that she had realized that this world she was in was not the world she lived in.
Where this world was, why she had fallen here, whether she could go back, etc.
Well, it was roughly that kind of question.
He was able to answer where this place was, but unfortunately, he couldn’t answer the other questions.
“I see. So, this is another world, or rather, a country called Japan?”
“Yeah. You understand well.”
While Takuya was relieved that he had roughly satisfied her curiosity.
“You’re just an ordinary citizen, and you don’t know why I came here?”
“Yeah.”
“…I see.”
Sylphia was openly disappointed by Takuya’s answer.
Well, he understood.
It seemed that he was her only hope.
While he was thinking to himself, Sylphia said.
“Then, where is the wizard around here? Please take me to that person.”
Takuya was speechless at Sylphia’s words.
Well, he had to tell her that there were no wizards in this world, right?
Takuya braced himself and slowly began to instill the ‘common sense’ of this world into her.
“…S-So, this is another world, and there’s no magic, no aura? And there are no bizarre monsters?”
“The last one might be true?”
“Ah, anyway. I wondered why I couldn’t feel mana, wait, does that mean there’s no way to go back?!”
Takuya couldn’t bring himself to answer her expression, which seemed as if her world had collapsed.
But what could he do? It was true that there was no way.
While Sylphia was making an expression as if her world had collapsed.
—Ding.
The screen started ringing.
Could it be that there was a way to send her back to her original world?
Takuya had a slight expectation and looked at the screen, and was soon shocked.
And at the same time, he realized.
[To send the elf back to her original world, you must ejaculate a certain amount of semen.]
That this world was a world within an eroge.
No. How is the return mission sex?
Takuya couldn’t bring himself to say this chaotic mission out loud.
Especially in front of a girl who was crying in despair.
***
Takuya watched Sylphia sob for a long time, and then spoke when he thought she had calmed down to some extent.
“Are you calm now?”
“Y-Yes. Thank you….”
Why is she using honorifics?
Takuya looked at Sylphia in bewilderment at her use of honorifics, and she scratched her cheek as if she had read Takuya’s expression and said.
“Ah, I was flustered earlier…”
“Just speak casually. I’m 15 anyway.”
“1, 15?! Do humans here grow that fast?!”
“No. I’m just special.”
She looked relieved at his answer.
Takuya said to Sylphia.
“First of all, what are you going to do?”
“W-What do you mean, what am I going to do…”
“Well, this is my house.”
“R-Really?”
“Yeah, I can let you stay if you want. What do you want to do?”
At Takuya’s question, Sylphia made a serious expression for a moment, and then bowed her head to Takuya and asked.
“Can I stay here until I get used to this world?”
Takuya nodded at her answer.
“I’ll allow it.”
“Really?! Thank you!!”
“But don’t go outside.”
“D-Don’t go outside?”
Sylphia made a troubled expression at Takuya’s words.
Well, it was a natural response since he was restricting her freedom.
“Well, there aren’t any monsters outside like you think, but there are humans who are much more vicious than that.”
“Hmm…”
“At least if you want to go out, go with me. That’s the condition for me to let you live here.”
“Then, okay.”
Takuya smiled contentedly at Sylphia’s answer, and at the same time, he looked at her and thought to himself.
‘Well, it seems like I’ve buttoned the first button correctly.’
The beginning was good.
And at the same time, he thought about his future plans.
‘First, I’ll get close to her and then get a sex angle. At the same time.’
[After talking to Sylphia, build trust! More opportunities will be given to the player!]
He also had to check what this meant.
