I was munching on the cake Michelle had left without any self-awareness when I thought.

…What am I eating right now?

I realized I was putting it in my mouth too naturally. As I became conscious of it, the sweet taste spreading in my mouth felt somewhat bitter.

I’m barely getting by even with intense exercise, yet here I am eating such sweet things.

But I couldn’t spit it out and throw it away either.

This greedy body seemed already addicted to sweetness, automatically chewing away.

If it had been my original body, this wouldn’t have happened.

I would probably be doing squats now, going on about muscle loss and such.

I carefully got up from my seat and positioned myself.

Then I tried to lower my waist slowly and get back up, but.

“Argh!?”

It wasn’t easy.

Understandably.

Even putting aside this body’s lack of stamina.

Due to a completely different center of gravity, my body kept leaning forward unless I consciously controlled it. I believe you know the reason without me having to explain.

After several repetitions, I was not only gasping for breath but my body was creaking.

Sitting in the chair in front of the table, catching my breath, I unconsciously put the remaining cake in my mouth.

Perhaps the dizziness I felt was due to a lack of sugar.

After all, I fell asleep without having dinner, so in a way, it’s natural. Exercising without consuming enough calories would be difficult, especially when already weak.

…Somehow I feel like I’m just making more excuses.

Sighing, I cleaned up after eating and went outside.

My mood was quite good as I received the softly shining sunlight.

As I made up my mind to move this hopeless body, strange thoughts began battling in my head.

On one hand, I thought it didn’t matter since I’d return to my original body anyway.

On the other hand, what if…?

The sensation I felt before my consciousness was cut off is still vivid.

If I had died and entered this world by some kind of power?

And if people had already concluded, “This guy died while playing a futanari game…”?

…Maybe it would be better to just live here.

However, in the current situation, there was nothing certain, so there wasn’t enough basis to make a judgment.

Even for the sake of seeing the ending.

Or… for the sake of living with this body that has unnecessarily heavy breasts.

The planned schedule must be fulfilled.

…If it’s the latter, seeing the ending itself would be for my personal satisfaction.

My head gets complicated.

The dizziness coming from sugar deficiency, at times like this one should eat something sweet—

…Hmm.

I must be crazy. To think such thoughts with my mind.

But isn’t it stranger to be sane in such a situation?

At times like this, I should be moving my body.

With that judgment, I ran without fail and.

I could taste the sweetness I had just eaten in my mouth.

This is really killing me.

Just as I was wondering if I might go back the same way I came here, shocked.

A familiar voice was heard.

“Ah, Teacher Iris?”

Turning my increasingly blurry vision towards where the voice was coming from, Charlotte was looking at me with a face full of confusion.

“Ah.”

…Why is she here?

She’s not out here exercising, is she?

Feeling somewhat embarrassed, I got up using the bench that was supporting me as a cane.

The sensation of the world spinning hit me, but Charlotte caught me.

“Ah… um, thank you.”

“Ah, it’s nothing. By the way, what are you… doing?”

“E-Exercising a bit….”

Then Charlotte spoke with a face and voice as if she was seeing someone extraordinary.

“H-How intense was your exercise…?”

“Ahem, ahem….”

It was just a brief run….

As embarrassment washed over me and I just panted, Charlotte, for some reason, slightly blushed and lowered her head.

“Y-Yesterday… thank you….”

“Uh, um… i-it’s something I naturally had to do… so don’t worry about it.”

“Is that so….”

She had rushed over worried about me sprawled on the ground, panting, but she seemed to be conscious of what happened then.

Since there wasn’t particularly anything good for me to recall either, I decided not to drag it out.

Charlotte, who was fidgeting with her fingers with a face that seemed to say ‘But still…’, was incredibly cute.

At my reassurance, Charlotte seemed somewhat moved and smiled shyly, then hastily left as if she had something to do.

If possible, I wanted to feel the sweetness of magical engineering, but it might be too early.

…And making demands or requests as payment for treating ‘that’ is a bit… inappropriate, right?

It was also unavoidable, and though I don’t know what others think, I feel uncomfortable about it.

Anyway.

I feel my troubled heart warming up a bit.

Riding on that feeling, I moved my body.

If there’s a silver lining to this body, apart from its terrible stamina, its flexibility was decent. Though not to a satisfactory level, it was good enough to be considered exceptional given the circumstances.

After moving my body vigorously, I called Undine to clean my body.

Seeing that this didn’t cause much strain, it seems that making a water onahole… with Undine was quite a demanding task.

By the way, how can I use this ability better?

Does it improve just by using it more?

…Maybe it’s similar to exercise.

Perhaps it’s related to what I’m going to obtain today.

With such thoughts, I trudged along. My next destination was the cafeteria.

It would be fine to go outside the academy grounds, but… honestly, I didn’t want to travel such a long distance.

I would need to conserve energy until dinner.

Thankfully, even on off days, lunch could be resolved there.

Though I hadn’t paid attention to it, using it wasn’t difficult. It was a very familiar system, befitting a world full of convenient settings.

While having lunch.

Rarely seen on weekends, some students were using the cafeteria.

And at the center, a somewhat familiar face could be seen sitting.

A woman with seemingly luxurious purple-mixed silver hair and ruby-like eyes.

Honestly, I can’t say I know all the characters.

There are so many… and if they’re not impressive, they’re quickly forgotten.

But she was different.

Because… she was the character whose ending I saw last before crossing over here.

Aileen Edelweiss.

…I remember her formal name was something longer, but honestly, I didn’t have the brain capacity to memorize such things.

Anyway.

She was the character I had paired with her beast-person maid bodyguard, Leona.

Now… she probably doesn’t have such feelings, but I wonder.

Being the relationship I last pursued, the memory is the clearest.

So she was also the first couple I had in mind.

…But apart from that, the process is quite arduous, so I’m just thinking about it.

Since it was a game without “epilogues,” I don’t know what happened after the two whispered their love.

I hope the end of love is filled with happiness, but it was hard to guarantee that their end was happy.

The love between a princess from somewhere and a maid?

Doesn’t it sound like a thorny path just by hearing it?

So… probably the act of me stepping forward first to push their relationship… might not happen?

Thinking of it as a game, I could casually say “it’s hot,” but.

Thinking of them as living, moving people, I hesitate to intervene carelessly.

…It might also reflect my anxiety about possibly having to live with this body.

Somehow my mouth felt bitter.

Still, her face was exceptionally beautiful. Should I say it was a feast for the eyes?

Then I left before she might recognize me.

One last glance… I thought I saw another familiar face, but.

As their group also got up, I hurriedly left the cafeteria.

Thinking that if I didn’t approach them, there would be no entanglement anyway.

I spent time blankly, waiting for the day to end.

…Personally, while building stamina was important, today I was planning to get something that would help me immediately.

The academy with darkness settling.

The academy on a weekend evening was very quiet.

Of course, the dormitory area would be bustling, but if you’re sane, the main building, especially the secluded areas, would be even quieter.

Why would they hide such a thing in a place like this?

I decided not to question it.

…I’m just taking what’s there.

No more, no less. Anyway, if not for me, it would rot there until the academy falls, so shouldn’t they be thankful?

Anyway, deep within the academy.

There was a statue of a figure who is said to have founded this academy long ago.

There it is.

Finding the statue of ‘her’, which was smaller than expected, I checked that no one was around and cautiously approached.

So… in the text.

…Though I felt a bit awkward, I groped under the statue’s skirt.

Groping between the hard, cold thighs felt a bit strange.

Even when viewing it as text, I thought, “Why hide it in such a place?” but actually searching for it was more serious.

The one who hid it doesn’t seem sane either. That’s probably why they hid it in such a place.

While I was internally criticizing the benefactor who hid the valuable opportunity.

Click.

With a sound of something misaligning.

Something fell onto my hand.

This is truly strange.

I touch a thigh made of stone, and some pill drops down!

When I first discovered this in the game, I didn’t understand what it was for.

A pill that increases the unknown abilities of “affinity” and “sensitivity.”

But while pondering what I might need, the existence of this came to mind.

Though using the body was difficult right now, I had a premonition that this might be directly related to my abilities.

An Easter egg in the game whose purpose I didn’t know.

An ability that wasn’t visible in the original game.

A perfect combination that would make anyone drool.

That must be it.

It’s definitely not because my body is like trash that I had no choice but to choose this.

…I looked at the unknown founder’s skirt where the pill had fallen, then returned to the dormitory.

I didn’t forget to swallow the pill before that.
