Affinity Rank 10 (Max). A sign of complete ownership of a heroine, achievable only after dedicating an entire semester. It signifies enhanced blessing skills, unlocked awakening skills, and other important benefits, but most importantly──it’s a guarantee of “I’m safe from now on.”
“Haaa…..”
Absolutely no NTR. She will never give her body to anyone else. She won’t let anyone touch her, not even regular NTR villains, named characters like me, or even monsters of the Abyss. Well, except in dungeons. In dungeons, NTR is prevented, but sex still happens. It’s a case of “The body may be defiled, but not the heart.” Anyway, once a heroine is at this level of affection, even if you cheat on her right in front of her, she’ll accept it, saying, “I still love you!”
By the way, if you try that at Affinity Rank 9, you’ll get slapped. And her NTR resistance will plummet, turning her into an easy target. …To summarize, what I’m trying to say is this:
“Mars… she definitely won’t go to the protagonist, right?”
Actually, there is one surefire way. Netorase. Letting your girlfriend sleep with another man with your permission. It’s usually requested by boyfriends with a netorare fetish…
“…Fuck.”
I absolutely can’t accept that. First of all, it requires me to be dating Mars, and if that happens, I’m confident I’ll never let her go. Never. I’ve already been NTR’d enough in the game, and now I’m supposed to initiate netorase myself in reality?
‘That’s disgusting.’
I haven’t developed a netorare fetish. I don’t plan to, and I shouldn’t. I shook my head and searched for another solution.
“What can I do….”
Another way…
Ignoring affinity and rank…
If Mars eventually drifts towards the protagonist──that would also be unpleasant…
“….Sigh.”
I didn’t want to admit it. It felt like losing, and it’s a feeling I shouldn’t have. In three years, the protagonist has to fight in Ragnarok or something. I shouldn’t interfere, and I don’t want to get involved in something so dangerous. …But not wanting to interfere and not wanting her taken away are two different things.
“Wait, am I crazy?”
Why is Mars mine? She belongs to herself, not me.
‘But I’ll feel uncomfortable if she goes to the protagonist.’
Yeah.
That’s true.
I even wiped her butt, but instead of being disgusted, I’m just…
“Attracted! Attracted, not aroused!”
Just attracted! Maybe!
“Haaa…..”
It seemed like my libido was overriding my reason. Should I visit Ur-noona tomorrow? I lay down on the bed and picked up my phone.
Me: Noona, are you there?
Ur:
Ur: Noona is working right now♭
“…?”
She did that on purpose, right?
Me: Can I masturbate while looking at your picture?
Ur: No♪
Why?
Ur: Want to come to Noona’s house on Sunday?
Me: I’ll endure for a week.
Ur: Fighting♬
No nut November starts today!
“…Huh?”
I feel like I’m forgetting something──but it’ll be fine!
***************
A few days later. Lunchtime after morning classes. I was nodding to myself, thinking that I should avoid the pollack nuggets in the academy cafeteria, when a shadow fell over my tray.
“You… are you free on Sunday?”
“Suddenly?”
Why are you asking me this while I’m eating? I picked up my spoon and replied,
“No.”
“What are you talking about, loner?”
“I’m serious.”
I have a very important event on Sunday. A truly unmissable, incredibly important event. An event I can attend anytime, but I want to go as soon as possible. It’s like the warm, naked embrace of my lover under the covers──wait, that’s not a metaphor, is it? Anyway, I have a very important appointment. So, Mars,
“Don’t bullshit me. You’re free, aren’t you?”
“I really do have plans.”
“….Seriously?”
“Yeah.”
“Proof.”
“…….”
I have proof. Right here in my pocket. It’s on my phone. It would be a lie to say I don’t have proof. But I hesitated to show it.
‘…Is it okay?’
There’s no better proof than this, but
“Why? Are you scared now that I asked for proof? That’s why you pretentious losers…”
“…Haha!”
Whatever. I showed her the text messages on my phone.
“Here’s your proof.”
“Oh. You really… did have plans…”
“Satisfied?”
I immediately turned off my phone. She must have seen the important part. I finished my lunch and stood up.
“I’m leaving now.”
“Wait.”
“…….”
Mars stopped me. Then she asked,
“That… isn’t what I think it is, right?”
“…………”
What do you think it is?
I stood still and turned my head slightly to answer,
“I’m not a virgin.”
“───!!!”
Her face contorted. Her eyes welled up with tears. She tightened her grip on my shoulder.
“Agh….!”
“!, S-sorry…”
Mars flinched and let go when I said it hurt. But she quickly regained her composure and grabbed my clothes, not my shoulder.
“Y-you….!”
“…What?”
It’s not that strange, is it? Apostles and followers blessed by gods are rare in this world. They’re living guarantees, allowed to have harems with the nation’s approval. That’s why the protagonist can openly have a harem without anyone batting an eye. I’ll explain that later.
“It’s not that weird, is it?”
“….You bastard.”
A crude curse, unlike Mars‘s usual style. But it was filled with genuine emotion.
“I… I was a virgin….!”

“Hey, watch your language. People will misunderstand.”
It was just a kiss, not sex. And it was to save her life. I already explained everything. I wanted to say it’s their fault for misunderstanding…
“So, that’s how it is, huh?”
“…..What?”
Before I could explain, Mars glared at me.
“A harem? Well, it’s possible. A king of beasts can have multiple females.”
She gritted her teeth and slowly clenched her fist.
“But, if that king of beasts is weaker than the females, he can’t have a harem, can he?”
“Wait a minute.”
There’s a flaw in your logic. I’m in a relationship with Ur-noona, not you!
“Since when were you my girlfriend?!”
“Shut up! We kissed!”
“So you’re saying you’re going to sleep with your dad?”
“That’s a whataboutism, you bastard!!”
“Eek!”
She seemed genuinely angry and swung her fist at my face with all her might. I quickly sped up time and ducked.
Boom!
“Waaaaah?!”
A cadet walking behind me was caught in the shockwave and collapsed. A shockwave from a single punch? What incredible strength.
“Hooo! Hoooo….!”
“….*Gulp*”
She was radiating Ares’ energy, ready to cause a scene. I took a deep breath and braced myself. Here we go again? If she attacks again, I’m running. I decided, and at that moment,
“Fuck.”
“….?”
Mars slowly lowered her fist and closed her eyes, exhaling.
“You’re right. You don’t usually lie.”
“….Mars.”
Surprisingly, she agreed. She admitted her mistake.
“It’s better this way. If you had lied to me, I would have gone berserk, but you being honest makes me feel better.”
“….Mars?”
But her eyes looked strange. She said she felt better, but her eyes looked like she wanted to kill me. Mars walked towards me and placed something in my hand.
“Take it.”
“….This is…”
A ticket. A movie ticket. A romance movie.
“Free up your Sunday.”
“….I have plans──”
“──Cancel them.”
“………..”
“You didn’t specify a time.”
“Well… that’s…”
But there are unspoken rules and common courtesy.
“Or are you saying it’s too much trouble to spare a little time? Huh?”
Mars bared her teeth, threatening me. That made me want to ask,
“What if it is too much trouble?”
“Too much trouble? Then, well, it can’t be helped.”
Mars readily replied,
“I’ll have to kidnap you and take you to a motel right now.”
“Wow…..”
Is this it? A declaration of intent to ‘have’ me? I spread my arms and said,
“Try it.”
“Ha, you think I can’t?”
“But you’ll get your ass drilled if you kidnap me.”
“Stop talking about my ass!!”
Mars yelled.
“You think I’m bluffing?”
“……….”
I’m a man of many talents.
Did she sense the sincerity in my words? Mars seemed to falter slightly, intimidated by my intensity. I seized the opportunity and said to Mars,
“Asking someone to cancel their plans and hang out with you is inconsiderate. It doesn’t matter how cute you act or how much you beg. That’s called ‘common courtesy.’ Get it?”
“….You could just say no. Just say no.”
Bastard.
Fucking bastard.
You’re truly a bad guy. Mars snatched the ticket from my hand and turned around, hiding her face. She was still tall enough that everyone could see her, but──I said to Mars,
“Let’s hang out on Saturday.”
“Saturday?”
“I’m free that day.”
“Who would want to hang out with you?”
“Suit yourself.”
“…..It’s just because the ticket would go to waste. Don’t get any ideas.”
Mars stomped out of the cafeteria. ‘…Cafeteria?’
Something clicked. I slowly, calmly, looked around.
“””””………..””””””
“W-wow.”
Countless eyes were on me. One of them, Merck, approached me and said,
“Krolo, you’re a player, huh?”
“No….!”
I’m not a player! I wanted to proclaim my innocence.
“Chrono.”
“Juno!”
Yes, Juno, you’ll…!
“I don’t think it’s right to flirt with other girls.”
“Cough….!”
I, I…! …But too many people had seen it. I couldn’t deny it.

Hang in there Chrono.
Bro is cooked
Chrono’s rep has taken a hit and I still do not know if Juno dumped Ter.
Why did she say “flirting with other girls is no-no.” Is it in respect to Mars who has maxed out feelings? Or in respect to herself, who I remember Chrono saying “I love you” or something right before he passed out at the gob lord fight?
