◇◇◇◆◇◇◇

5:57 AM.

I didn’t check the time, but I knew instinctively.

“Ugh… huh?”

I rubbed my eyes and tried to sit up, but something was preventing me. A warm, soft weight pressed against my left side, reminiscent of waking up in Ur-noona’s embrace.

‘Like when I woke up in noona’s arms…’

In her arms, in someone’s arms…

…Whose arms?

“N-No…”

“Uh, huh? Wha—!”

I was pulled closer. A purplish figure snuggled into my arms, trapping my shoulder and arm.

“M-Minerva?”

“…”

She was fast asleep, using my shoulder and chest as a pillow.

‘…What do I do?’

I felt bad waking her up. She hadn’t gotten much sleep after talking to me and keeping watch. Juno wasn’t here yet, so I had a few minutes.

“Sigh… whatever.”

I decided to pretend to be asleep.

‘This position is uncomfortable.’

My shoulder was stiff. I shifted to get comfortable, turning towards Minerva.

“…”

‘Hey, wait!’

Now facing each other, Minerva snuggled even closer, burying her face in my chest. Putting aside any sexual tension, her hair smelled… strong.

‘Wow, she’s covering it up with her smell?’

I almost felt something, but thankfully, the smell of her hair stopped me. Thanks, Minerva’s hair. Now I can sleep peacefully.

“…Hmm…”

“Oh?”

Or not?

Her touch was a little dangerous.

‘And I’m getting used to the smell…’

With my nose compromised, all that was left was the sensation of her body against mine, amplified by my closed eyes.

‘No, this is bad! Infidelity is the first step to NTR…!’

Endure.

I must endure.

I thought of Ur-noona and Mars, trying to calm myself.

‘I want to have a threesome with them… wait, no!’

Dammit!

Who said to think of your lover when you’re tempted? It only made things worse! And to make matters worse, my “little friend” was waking up, too.

“…”

‘No!’

Go down! No! Go back! Now!

I tried to distract myself, but Minerva’s leg slipped between mine.

“Hmm…”

“…”

I felt the soft touch of her thigh through my pants and underwear. She shifted in her sleep, pressing her thigh against me. It rubbed against my crotch, my underwear, and then—

“Uh… uh…”

No.

I’m going to cum.

I hadn’t masturbated recently, so my pent-up “children” were eager to see the world.

‘No, guys!’

Go back! No!

“—Chrono, Minerva! Morning…”

“—!!!”

The tent opened, and Juno’s voice echoed inside. I quickly sat up and pretended to have just woken up.

“Oh! Morning already!”

“M-Morning!”

Minerva woke up too, and we exchanged awkward greetings. Juno stared at us for a moment before silently leaving the tent.

She didn’t seem to notice anything. I sighed in relief, having narrowly avoided a mortifying situation.

“Phew…”

…Huh?

“…Minerva, did you—”

“—Let’s go, Chrono. We have to kill the goblins and get back to the academy.”

“…”

Could it be? But… no, right?

Just in case, I asked before leaving the tent,

“Do you snore really loudly in your sleep? I heard some loud snoring earlier.”

“I don’t snore!”

“How would you know?”

“Ah…”

Busted.

“W-Well, the other cadets told me during survival training! They said I sleep soundly without snoring.”

“If you sleep soundly, wouldn’t they just not mention it?”

“That’s…”

“…”

I guess I wasn’t cut out to be a dense protagonist.

‘Oh well.’

Sometimes, it’s best to play dumb.

“I guess if everyone else was snoring from exhaustion, they’d be surprised if you didn’t. Right?”

“Y-Yes! They were surprised that I was the only one who slept soundly!”

Ahaha!
Haha!
Ha!

“…Sigh.”

“…I apologize.”

“Let’s go.”

We didn’t know anything. Nothing happened. Just a little accident.

We exited the tent and joined Juno.

“Good morning!”

Juno smiled brightly.

“You two seem close.”

“…”

Her tone was anything but cheerful.

No, that’s not it. It’s a misunderstanding.

“Chrono.”

“Yes?”

Juno smiled at me.

“You’re a good person, right?”

“100% pure love.”

“Yeah! Ther says he’s ‘pure love’ too!”

“Um…”

Was she subtly comparing me to the protagonist?

“Chrono.”

“…”

Juno said,

“Let’s finish the requests quickly and get back to the academy!”

“…Okay.”

She seemed cheerful on the surface, but her vacant eyes reflected my image, and I couldn’t help but think: how could the protagonist pursue Merck while having such a devoted girlfriend?

‘Does he have a heart of steel?’

I shuddered at Juno’s jealousy and quickly packed up the tent. Minerva brought over the folded tent.

“Chrono, I fold it like this and put it in here, right?”

“Yeah, good job. Thanks.”

I put the tent back in the backpack and glanced at Minerva.

‘Why didn’t she push me away?’

Had her Affinity Rank increased that much? I didn’t think I’d done much to raise it… Could it be because I’m an NTR villain?

“Sigh…”

It made sense. The protagonist had a daily limit on increasing Affinity Ranks, but villains didn’t. Even if you diligently raised a heroine’s Affinity Rank to 7, their NTR Rank could suddenly jump to 2 or 3.

The maximum NTR Rank was 5 (pregnancy). The system description said that you could still reverse it up to 4, but pregnancy was irreversible.

“I have to be careful…”

I had to stop playing around. I didn’t want to end up like Chrono.

“Huh? What are you talking about?”

“Nothing!”

Juno appeared silently behind me. I quickly put on my backpack.

“Alright, let’s go!”

I tried to sound enthusiastic. I couldn’t stay here any longer. I had to get back as soon as possible.

*Growl*

“…”

“…Let’s eat first!”

We had four requests left.

1. Goblin Subjugation (10 goblins)
2. Goblin Warrior Subjugation (1 warrior)
3. Goblin Shaman Subjugation (1 shaman)
4. Retrieve the Goblin Shaman’s Staff

“…Are you sure we can finish all this before the deadline?”

“Yeah, it’s easier than you think.”

If we lost a battle, it would trigger an NTR event. But as long as we didn’t fight, we’d be fine. I positioned Minerva and Juno outside the goblin village and entered alone.

“Jump in when you see an opening.”

A few goblins noticed me. I smiled and raised my gun.

“Huh? What are you—”

—Bang!

“—Eek!”

The gunshot attracted the goblins. A larger one emerged and yelled at me.

“That’s what I expected.”

A horde of goblins rushed towards me. I heard Minerva’s gasp, but I knew how to handle this goblin wave event.

“Just kill the leader.”

I accelerated time and charged towards the Goblin Warrior.

“[Double Excel][Double Step]”

I closed the distance before the goblins could react.

“[Point-Blank Shot]”

Bang!

A single shot between the eyes. The Goblin Warrior’s head exploded.

“Event skipped.”

The goblins scattered. An old, ugly goblin emerged from a tent and raised its staff.

“Goblin Shaman.”

The shaman’s appearance rallied the goblins. They surrounded me, using their scattered positions to their advantage. It would have been tricky if I were alone, but…

“Now!”

I wasn’t alone.

“Haaa! Holy Slash!”

“Take this! Hera’s Flame!”

The Goblin Shaman, too focused on me, forgot about the others.

“…Did we… get him?”

“Is it over?”

The shaman died without resistance, dropping its staff. Only one thing left to do.

“Kill the rest!”

We finished off the remaining goblins and returned to the academy.

“So, [Herb Gathering], [Mineral Gathering 1, 2, and 3], [Cave Mushroom Gathering], [Slime Extermination], [King Slime Subjugation], [Goblin Subjugation], [Goblin Warrior Subjugation], [Goblin Shaman Subjugation], and [Goblin Shaman’s Staff retrieval]… a total of 11 requests completed,”

“…”

The result of our grueling 2-day trip:

“…for a total of 68 points.”

“…Whoa!”

Not only did we avoid failing, but we even reached the top ranks. Minerva and Juno collapsed onto the floor.

‘They must be exhausted.’

Completing 11 requests at once was no easy feat, especially when most students struggled with one or two.

“Let’s rest today and meet again tomorrow!”

“…”

“…The day after tomorrow?”

“…”

“…Friday?”

“…Phew…”

They looked utterly drained.
