In the stopped time, I quietly stared at the screen.

【Second Option】

[You have encountered Haru, the heroine of *She Becomes Degenerate in the Gym Storage Room*, in the gym storage room. You are given three options.]

[1. Save Haru.]

[2. Neglect Haru.]

[3. Take Haru.]

[4. ???]

[*Warning: If you do not choose, an option will be randomly selected.]

There were a total of four options.

The second and third options were similar to Miyuki’s, but the first was different.

‘Save her, huh…’

Last time, there were only ‘neglect’ and ‘take.’ This time, the ‘save’ option was added. What could be the reason? As I thought about it, one possibility came to mind.

‘Because there was no salvation to begin with?’

Miyuki herself was a succubus-like woman who attracted men.

There was no reason for other men not to flock to such a woman, besides someone like Takuya. In short.

‘Does that mean even if I had saved her, it would have led to a similar outcome?’

It was just my conjecture, but it felt plausible enough.

Thanks to that, various hypotheses filled my mind, but.

‘For now, I’ll think about this later.’

Right now, there was something more important than my conjecture in front of me.

Naturally, I would choose one of two options.

Save or take.

Honestly, it would be strange if it weren’t one of these two.

If I neglect her, she’ll be taken, and choosing that option full of question marks is ambiguous.

‘By the way, those ??? don’t change. What on earth are they?’

I was curious about those question marks, but I didn’t particularly want to take a risk.

Adventure is like gambling.

And I wasn’t good at gambling. Of course, I did hit one big jackpot that set me for life, but in exchange, I ended up living a sad life under surveillance.

So, gambling was out of the question.

Anyway, I put the thoughts about the question-mark-filled option aside for a moment.

‘Alright, so which will it be, 1 or 3…’

To be honest, the most appealing one was naturally option 4.

As far as I remember, Haru, the heroine of *She Becomes Degenerate in the Gym Storage Room*, was a sports-loving beauty who underwent various hardcore scenarios, including risque cosplay.

The story was about her gradually realizing her true nature and becoming depraved.

‘And near the end, her urinating on her winning photos and pictures with her childhood friend as she degenerated was quite a turn-on… Is that too much detail? Ahem…’

Anyway, Haru was a heroine who truly deserved the description of being ‘extremely hot’ among the Erotic Villain’s heroines.

Although it was an NTR story, the level of turn-on was considerable. So, naturally, my heart was drawn to option 4, but there was one very, very big problem.

That was.

‘Too many women.’

I had too many women.

You might call this a total flex, but even excluding all the women I’d ‘taken’ through hypnosis, there were Miyuki, Haruka, Yuki Onna, Fubuki, Yui, and so on.

It was already too many for one man to handle.

Don’t you know ‘the more the merrier’?

That saying only applies when you can handle it; when you can’t, it’s poison.

On top of that.

‘Personally, I also want to see her end up with the male lead.’

That’s why I couldn’t help but agonize.

Whether it would be pure love, or NTR.

“Yes. This is it.”

After much deliberation over these two options, I made up my mind.

Then, I pressed the option I had chosen.

What I chose after much thought was.

【Second Scenario begins.】

[Second Scenario: You must connect Haru, the heroine of *She Becomes Degenerate in the Gym Storage Room*, and Hiro, the clueless, idiotic pushover masochist, as lovers.]

[You have decided to ‘save’ the protagonists of *She Becomes Degenerate in the Gym Storage Room*. To save them, you must defeat the villains.]

[Salvation Progress: 0%]

[Degeneration Level: 5%]

[Scenario Progress: 0%]

[Overall Story Progress: 0%]

[TIP 1. Something good might happen if you go under the bridge on a rainy day?]

It was salvation.

***

The decisive reason I chose salvation was simple.

Because as far as I remember, the heroine of *She Becomes Degenerate in the Gym Storage Room* is a minor.

You ask what kind of reason that is?

I imagined what would happen if I touched a minor.

I never, ever intended to touch a minor, it was an accident, and it’s all my fault so please forgive me just this once…

Hmm, let’s not dwell on that.

Of course, that was half a joke, and since it overlapped with the reasons explained above, I figured salvation would be better than taking, so I chose it.

I was also curious about how the rewards would differ from taking her.

“But, a clueless, idiotic pushover masochist… The male lead gets it rough, huh.”

Well, it wasn’t hard to understand.

Because he was exactly that kind of guy.

‘He’s the kind of guy who can’t even recognize when the person he loves is being openly mistreated by a gym teacher.’

So, it wasn’t strange for such an adjective to be attached to him.

Still, at his core, he’s a good neighborhood older brother type. So, I decided to cut him some slack.

Isn’t the usual development in such cases for me to get angry at the idiotic male lead who got NTR’d, and then take the girl myself?

Honestly, I didn’t have any particular ill will towards that male lead.

And that’s because…

‘I skipped the NTR parts and only watched from the perspective of the teacher ‘taking’ the girl.’

Why should I feel like I’m being NTR’d? I should only feel like I’m doing the ‘taking’.

Therefore, I skipped all the NTR-ed perspectives and only watched the NTR-ing perspectives.

You might say that wouldn’t give a proper appreciation, but how many people truly enjoy NTR stories from the perspective of the one being NTR’d? Most people watch from the perspective of the one doing the NTR.

You might ask why, if it’s an NTR game, you’d view it from the perspective of the one doing the NTR instead of the one being NTR’d, but who would get excited and ‘play with themselves’ seeing their own woman being taken?

Rather, they feel aroused by the act of taking.

What about people who don’t? Those are the most dangerous people.

Anyway, thinking that to myself, I pressed the option.

At the same time, a reward button appeared for the chosen option, but I put that aside for a moment.

I strode towards the athletic club area of the nearby high school, which had stopped in a running pose, to see the heroine’s face.

Perhaps because they were athletes, everyone had toned limbs and boasted considerable looks, but finding the heroine was unexpectedly easy.

This was because she possessed a top-tier beauty even among such beauties, with a look that seemed to come from another world, drawing everyone’s attention.

‘Wow, Miyuki too, it seems just anyone can’t be an ero-game heroine.’

She definitely felt like she was on a different dimension compared to ordinary people.

Oh, and by the way, the dimension here refers to the difference between 2D and reality.

With such strange thoughts, I approached the heroine even closer to observe her.

Upon closer inspection, she was indeed quite similar to her description in the game.

She had large breasts for a girl who exercised, skin that was hard to imagine on an athlete training under the sun, and her hair was blue, just like in the game.

Perhaps because she had so many unique features, she was easy to distinguish.

However, upon confirming the heroine’s face, I couldn’t help but feel bewildered at the same time.

“Hmm… Where have I seen her before?”

Because it was a face I felt like I’d seen somewhere.

So, as I pondered for a moment where I had seen that face, I remembered.

“Right! I saw her at the convenience store and when I was walking Miyuki!”

I had already seen Haru. Twice, in fact: once at the convenience store before meeting Misaki, and another time while walking with Miyuki.

Thanks to that, my already high inner familiarity felt even higher.

Of course, she wouldn’t know me at all. Anyway.

“Wow, but why didn’t I recognize this face before?”

With such looks, I would have recognized her instantly.

I briefly wondered if there was some other issue, but then I shook my head, dismissing the thought.

As these unrealistic things kept happening, I developed a habit of creating conspiracy theories.

Honestly, even with such looks, you might not notice if you don’t look closely.

‘Both of us were distracted by other things, after all.’

Thinking that, I first returned to the spot where time had stopped, then checked the reward for choosing an option.

‘Surely not, another memory this time…’

Recalling the reward from Miyuki’s option choice for the first time.

That was truly agonizing. Of course, it was certainly helpful when considering if it was useful or not, but… how many people could humanly endure such pain?

At least, not me.

But what could I do?

‘I have to check the reward…’

Since the rewards have never been bad or entirely unhelpful.

“Phew… Anyway, whether it turns out good or bad, I have to check…”

Thinking that, I steeled my resolve and checked the reward.

“Hmm?”

And the reward I checked with all that fuss was not what I had expected.

[Option 1 Reward: Villain Location Tracker]

[Claim][Do Not Claim]

There was a different kind of reward.
