## Chapter 290 – The Final Chapter
What changes when you go in versus when you come out?
The answer was the number of my carts when entering and leaving Hoyden’s mansion.
One cart was too small to hold all the items worth a thousand gold coins.
So, I managed to get an extra cart as a bonus.
The price of the cart wasn’t cheap, but I considered it compensation for the attempt on my life.
Two carts started running side by side down the road.
The atmosphere in the carts on the way back was more awkward than on the way there.
It wasn’t an uncomfortable tension, but rather an awkwardness stemming from embarrassment.
In the midst of all this, the quest was cleared.
The reward was a gambling skill.
It wasn’t a very useful skill.
I wondered how things were on Hanna’s side.
The carts slowly entered the familiar mansion.
“Welcome back!”
Victoria rushed out as soon as the carts arrived, welcoming our return.
Then, she tilted her head, looking puzzled.
“Huh? Why are there two carts?”
She seemed hesitant about which cart to greet.
“Anyway.”
Silver subtly winked at me, and I nodded.
Silver got out of the cart and stroked Victoria’s head.
Following her, Eira and I also got out.
Hanna greeted my return instead.
There were no special words, just a smile and an arm linked with mine.
Eira glanced sideways at the sight.
“Tell Oppa something for me.”
“Huh?”
Hanna whispered in my ear, and after hearing it, I hesitated before relaying the message to Eira.
“…Hanna says to tell you something…”
“Yes?”
“She’s asking… how was it.”
“How was it—”
Eira looked at Hanna with a surprised expression, and Hanna covered her mouth and laughed.
Eira froze at that expression, trembling.
“H, how…”
“Don’t worry, Hanna doesn’t mind.”
“There’s no way she doesn’t mind…”
Eira froze in place, but the four of us, including Hanna and me, strode into the mansion, leaving Eira behind.
Eira belatedly followed.
Hanna and I enjoyed our long-awaited reunion, soaking together in the huge bath.
A grand mansion was indeed a grand mansion.
It had a huge bath inside the house.
“Hoo…”
Hanna lay back comfortably.
I loved this unguarded side of her that she only showed me.
“Oh, right, I got a good skill this time.”
“What is it?”
“Cooking skill!”
“Really?”
It was a useless skill for me, but it seemed different for Hanna.
“Can we come to this other world again later?”
“Yeah, if there’s a quest.”
And quests always seemed to appear in the worlds we conquered.
In any world.
“Then we can go to the worlds we’ve been to before, too.”
“I guess so?”
“Hmm~”
Hanna’s slightly excited humming echoed in the bath.
“Oppa, how many people can return with us?”
“Hmm, two people?”
I thought that was probably the case.
When I pressed the exit button on the quest, there was a [1/2] mark.
“Then, let’s bring the women we met in other worlds to reality later.”
“To reality?”
“Yes. I want to treat them, hear their stories…”
Hearing that, I looked at Hanna suspiciously.
“Just stories?”
“You know better.”
Hanna playfully poked my chest with her finger.
As expected, there was another motive.
The women I had met.
There were women who were still vivid in my memory, and there were women whose memories had faded.
But certainly, they were women who would meet Hanna’s expectations.
I nodded.
With that promise, Hanna and I decided to exit this world for now.
***
The day after returning from the other world.
Hanna woke up from the bed with a relaxed expression.
“Thanks to you, I enjoyed my vacation.”
“It’s nothing, I’m glad.”
Honestly, I was worried when I first told her.
If I had known she would understand so well, I would have told her sooner.
“I’ll be looking forward to it.”
Hanna said that and left for her schedule.
Her steps were light.
I told her to tell me anytime she needed a break again.
She would be less likely to be tired from her busy schedule alone.
“…Where was it again.”
I looked through the quests, recalling my past.
As I searched for the worlds I had visited, I thought of the faces I missed.
“Let’s go.”
***
Back in the hero world after a long time.
I was having a conversation in a cafe.
The other person listened to me silently, then uttered a word.
“What the fuck are you talking about.”
Minji slowly glared at me.
She looked like she couldn’t believe what I was saying.
Minji crossed her arms and repeated my words once again.
“So… you’re saying we can go to another world?”
She still asked as if she didn’t understand, so I nodded.
After nodding, Minji put her hand on my forehead and said.
“Are you sick? Did you catch something?”
She wasn’t swearing, so she seemed genuinely worried.
Yeah, that’s how she was.
Her words were rough, but her heart was kind.
Well, that’s why she was a hero.
There was no helping it.
I held Minji’s hands tightly.
“You might get motion sickness.”
“What are you—”
Whoosh.
With a low, heavy sound, the scenery around us changed in an instant.
Minji, who was experiencing this floating sensation for the first time, staggered and sat down on the floor.
Minji, who had experienced various situations as a hero, was like this.
“…Wow, fuck…”
It was a very convincing exclamation.
I didn’t know if it was an exclamation or just a swear word.
Minji was enduring the dizziness and looking around my house.
“Just now… it was a cafe until just now…”
Minji looked around and gasped.
“Is it like teleportation?”
“I told you, it’s not teleportation, it’s a completely different world.”
“Turn on the TV.”
When I turned on the TV with the remote control, a broadcast familiar to me was playing.
But Minji was flustered.
“There are no heroes.”
No matter what channel she turned to, heroes didn’t appear, of course.
Only idols and celebrities.
“I told you?”
“Is it really a different world?”
“I told you it is.”
“…What kind of world is it?”
“Huh?”
What should I say?
I couldn’t say it was a normal world, because the hero world was a normal world for Minji.
“There are no heroes, no villains…”
I uttered the words that I would probably have to say to other women who would come to this world in the future.
There were no heroes or villains here.
“No powers either.”
There were no powers, no magic, no cutting-edge future technology, no elves or beastmen.
“No hero organizations either.”
There were no magic towers, no martial arts clans, and no demonic cults.
It was a boring world.
“Then what is there?”
“…Just, me, and what, the place I’ve lived in, and… people I know…”
All I had to offer were memories.
It was too insignificant compared to the hero world, so there wasn’t much to say.
Minji put her hand on my shoulder, which was a little discouraged.
“That’s enough. You idiot. A world without villains? Sounds good.”
Minji patted my shoulder, which was lacking confidence.
“So? Why did you reveal this and bring me here?”
“…My girlfriend in this world wanted to see you.”
“What?… Fuck, did she find out?”
Minji didn’t really react to the fact that I had a girlfriend.
She was just curious if she had been caught in our physical relationship.
“She probably found out.”
“…”
I slowly got up from my seat and raised my hand in the air.
Whether it was a hero’s instinct or not, Minji noticed that I was using my ability and grabbed me.
“Where are you going?”
“…To pick up another woman?”
“Did you cheat in another world too?”
“…”
“And you got caught again?”
I nodded, and Minji chuckled and nodded too.
“…Amazing. You.”
***
Three people from different worlds were sitting in this living room.
Minji from the hero world.
Namgung Yu from the martial arts world.
And Eunjeong from the constellation world.
They were all from different worlds, but they all had one thing in common.
They were all victims of my lust.
The three of them were subtly glancing at each other, clearing their throats uncomfortably.
“That fucking bastard… you’ve been doing a lot.”
“…I don’t know what you’re saying, but I feel like you’re cursing Gaga…”
They say you learn swear words first in a language.
Namgung Yu, who came from the martial arts world, glared at Minji.
Eunjeong was just sitting on the sofa, looking at Namgung Yu’s unique attire with wonder.
And the person they were waiting for arrived.
Beep, beep.
Creak.
The sound of the door lock being pressed was heard, and the door opened.
Hanna came back.
Hanna widened her eyes slightly at the three people sitting in the living room, then immediately smiled and greeted them.
“Hello.”
“Your Gaga—”
Namgung Yu stood up abruptly, saying that what was coming had come, but then closed her mouth at the situation that unfolded.
Hanna bowed deeply.
“…What are you doing?”
Minji, seeing that, was also flustered and stared blankly at Hanna.
Eunjeong didn’t know what to do and bowed her head as well.
I was also flustered.
“Thank you. I heard Oppa has been a lot of trouble.”
Minji and Eunjeong had awkward expressions.
Namgung Yu didn’t understand the words, but she seemed to feel something from the actions and silently looked at Hanna.
“What trouble… I’ve only received…”
“M, me too…”
Minji and Eunjeong said, and Namgung Yu slowly approached Hanna.
“Gaga, can you tell her what I’m saying?”
“Huh? Ah, yeah.”
Becoming a translator, I conveyed Namgung Yu’s words.
It was a difficult thing to convey.
“…She says if you’re so grateful, can you let her live here?”
“She says life is meaningless without Gaga.”
As if supplementing my words, Namgung Yu held Hanna’s hand tightly with a desperate expression.
This was bad.
Hanna usually doesn’t back down in this kind of situation.
“Okay.”
I knew it.
Then the other two people reacted.
“M, me too, just for a while… I like the world without constellations…”
“…What are you looking at? I won’t be a burden. I’ll take care of myself. You said there are no superpowers in this world, right?”
Whatever the direction, neither of them seemed to want to go back to their original world.
I became anxious that this might happen every time I brought women from other worlds.
“Yes, let’s all live together.”
Hanna, on the other hand, seemed excited.
I’m the homeowner…
But it doesn’t matter if Hanna is happy.
“Haa…”
I sighed and then smiled.
Yeah, it’s okay if you’re happy.
No matter how hard I tried, I could never be the one who takes away.
I ended up having my daily life taken away by all the women I had been with.
