I lay on the bed blankly and looked at the system notification window.

[Rupia’s strategy progress has increased. (24 -> 28%) Acquire 600 strategy points]

‘Heh heh fuck.’

Although the points and progress have clearly increased, the empty heart is not filled.

Rupiah in my arms.

She is sleeping naked and clutching my dick.

With a satisfied expression on his face.

‘tired… .’

It was squeezed over ten times in total, including time reversal.

Compared to the ‘daily routine’ where the default was 200 times, it is much less, but the fatigue is greater now.

When I’m at work, I don’t have to do anything, and as a result, the physical fatigue disappears because it never happened, but now I have to be proactive on my part, and the physical fatigue still remains.

What was most difficult was that I had to pretend to love Rupiah.

The combination of high-intensity physical labor and mental labor literally leaves both body and mind in tatters.

In addition, when combined with Hyeonta, the extreme emptiness made me want to commit suicide.

‘In times like this, you need to use the current strike in a beneficial way.’

You can’t waste the moment when a man is at his wisest.

I tried opening the system window.

I opened the ‘Archive’ tab, which was the only one among several tabs that was locked.

[This tab is locked. Unlock it by achieving the conditions.]

There are several locked elements in this game.

In addition to the current archive tab, there are some skills that have not yet been unlocked, and the heroine’s strategy information is often locked.

The lock itself may be so.

Unlocking these things one by one is an element of the game.

But if you fucking locked it, you should tell them the conditions for opening it.

Even if you know the conditions, it would still be extremely difficult.

‘Fuckin’ game. ‘Fuck.’

From beginning to end, there are no friendly elements.

Retry’s save point may seem like a novel idea, but in fact, it would have been easier and faster to beat it if a save load function had been added.

‘This game is just okay. ‘Every element was created to suppress me.’

Holy shit, when I feel down, I keep thinking strange thoughts.

need some healing.

I need something to heal my mind.

Something cute and lovely.

Okay, I guess I’ll have to bring Daisy.

A lot of things keep happening and I forget about it.

Let’s go to the lab tomorrow.

Lufia also loves Daisy, so there won’t be any problem.

What were you trying to think about now?

I was definitely trying to think of something using Hyeonta… .

I don’t know.

It just all sucks.

“Umm… . Zeke… .”

Lufia turned over and called to me in her sleep.

This fucking bitch is fucking me even in my dreams.

How on earth did I become friends with this crazy bitch in the past?

‘Oh right. ‘I was trying to think about the past that disappeared.’

Because I was tired, my head started to taste bad.

Let’s get some sleep.

Today again, as usual, I am eating breakfast prepared by Rupiah.

“Rupiah. I’m planning to bring Daisy today.”

I spoke carefully, looking at Lufia’s eyes.

“Daisy? Now that I think about it, there was no daisy.”

“Olivia was researching the unknown power that Daisy had. It’s probably over by now.”

“Really? Well then, I guess I should prepare something that Daisy likes for dinner tonight.”

Lufia smiled.

It wasn’t the kind of smile meant to hide an unpleasant expression.

No matter how jealous Lufya is of all the women around her, she is not even jealous of little Daisy.

Rather, Lufia likes Daisy.

The reason is so absurd, because Daisy treats us like mom and dad.

From Lufia’s perspective, she can’t dislike it because she can experience a similar married life through Daisy.

‘If Daisy were there, Lupia wouldn’t treat her like a monkey… .’

Oh, isn’t that right?

Lufia can even block hearing with her telekinesis, so it doesn’t really matter.

Fuck.

Please nerf Rupiah, developer.

“By the way, tell Bir that it’s okay now.”

“To Bir?”

It is surprising that Rupiah talks about Bir first.

“Yes. Bir stayed away, saying he was considerate of us. Thank you, but I’m sorry for making you leave for so long.”

“It was something like that. I understand.”

What kind of plan is this?

First of all, saying I’m sorry is bullshit.

I really feel sorry for the bastard who dismembers people alive.

Is it to take care of my image?

If that were the case, you could have waited until I said it first.

What was the purpose of bringing Bir back, giving up the benefit of just the two of them?

I looked at Lufia’s expression.

You seem to be in a very good mood.

‘Is it safe to say that I’ve already done it once?’

No, that doesn’t make sense.

They even kidnapped and imprisoned me for a year in order to completely possess me, so how can they be relieved that they only did it once?

‘Then what is it?’

From yesterday’s panic to today’s remarks.

There are many different aspects to the Ruphia I knew.

‘If something changes, it means that the strategy is progressing, so we should be happy, but… .’

This also means that unpredictable variables are increasing, which raises concerns.

You may not know about other heroines, but Lufia is an S-class, highest difficulty heroine.

Sigh–

Rupiah held my hand as it was placed on the table.

“Zeek… .”

He hesitates again.

Like when you suggested talking to me yesterday.

“I’m sorry that I keep making one-sided demands… . Can I ask for just one more thing?”

“There is no need to be sorry between us. What is it?”

Lufia was silent for a moment and then slowly opened her mouth.

“Zeek, do you trust me?”

Time independent skill confirmed.

It has been active since last night.

I don’t know if he was doing this to throw another tantrum, but I answered quickly to remain faithful to my role as a lover.

“Of course I believe it.”

“Then there is something I want you to know.”

Rupiah’s serious voice made the atmosphere heavy.

“What do you want to know? It’s not like you forgot my birthday or anything like that, right?”

I tried to lighten the depressed mood by telling a joke.

But Lufia only let out a shallow laugh.

There was silence again.

But I didn’t necessarily break the silence.

Because Lufia was pursing her lips as if she was about to speak.

After choosing her words for a long time, she finally opened her mouth.

“Can you tell me what the goal of the quest is?”

thud-.

They say that when people are too surprised, their hearts sink, and it seems to be true.

Thanks to the pacemaker, I was able to hide my contemplative expression, but I couldn’t control my pounding heart.

‘Fuck, how do you know?’

What is the goal of the quest?

This is a question that cannot be asked in a normal situation.

In this world where video games don’t even exist, I can only think of the fact that the word quest was mentioned as proof that I literally understand the situation I’m in.

‘Could it be that I told you about the past that disappeared?’

This is ridiculous.

No matter how close we were, Lufia was definitely a target, a heroine.

You tell the heroine that this world is actually a game, and that the reason I’m friendly with you is all because of strategy.

That doesn’t make sense.

There is no way I, not anyone else, would have done such a sick thing.

‘No, Lufia asked about the goal of the quest. That means you know it’s a game, but you don’t know what quest you’re completing.’

It doesn’t make sense to tell you about the game system, but it’s at least more likely than telling you about quests.

“Quest? What is that?”

I answered while trying desperately to maintain my senses.

As naturally as possible, in a way that I really don’t know what I’m talking about.

I don’t know what attitude to take.

So for now, we have no choice but to remain ignorant.

“…It’s not the right time yet.”

Lufia said with a quite regretful expression.

“I’ll wait. Until Zeke can truly trust me.”

“Rupia, what on earth is that…? .”

Just—

Time went back.

To the point where Rupiah just held my hand.

“…Rupiah? Why are your hands suddenly shaking?”

I acted as calm as possible.

Even though time went back, the confusion remained, and my heart continued to pound.

“Just. Because I want to catch it.”

Lufia also acted calmly,

He looked at me and smiled meaningfully.

‘Things are going strangely.’

What on earth is going on?

I’m going crazy.

1st floor of office building.

My mind had been exhausted since the morning, so I was rushing to throw myself on the sofa in the director’s office when I heard a commotion.

‘Oh, the cafe is open?’

Recently, the cafe, which had been closed for a while because all the employees had gone on vacation, was operating normally again.

‘Was today your return from vacation?’

Maybe it’s because so much has happened these days, but my memories are vague.

Since the return date is today, it must have been opened today.

I feel like my head is about to crack, so I guess I can just have a cup of coffee.

With that in mind, I entered the cafe.

“Ahh! Zeke!”

A familiar voice was heard.

I immediately took up a defensive stance and caught the rushing gray fur ball.

Thanks to that, I didn’t fall backwards, but I was helpless against the furball’s tongue attack.

Clap clap clap clap—

“Ker, stop!”

Ker, the furball that had been licking me frantically, welcomed me with a bright smile.

“Hehe, Zeke, it’s been a while. Pat me pat.”

Ker thrusts his head mercilessly.

When I roughly stroked it to calm it down, it became even more entangled.

“A little further away.”

“No! It’s been a while since I’ve smelled Zeke so much. Sniff. Sniff.”

Ker sticks his nose into my clothes and sniffs me like crazy.

I tried to force it to fall, but of course it was no use.

“Director, I’m sorry. Ker got frustrated so I let him off the leash and he stopped… .”

The three management staff members in charge of Ker came running in a huff.

“Well, Ker, as long as you stay on time, you’ll be safe, so it doesn’t matter, so it’s okay.”

It’s safe if you send them back to the isolation room before the moon rises, and you can only do this to a few really close people.

“Rather than just watching, can you help me out?”

I pointed Ker to the management members who were looking at me blankly.

Only then did the management staff come over to remove Ker.

however,

“Sniff… It stinks..!”

“Huh? Did you take a shower?”

“It smells like rupiah!”

“You look like a ghost, really.”

Ker caught Lufia’s scent like a ghost.

Even though I took a shower and put on fresh clothes, I wonder how my sense of smell is affected. It’s really amazing.

“Oh, Rupiah is here?”

Immediately, the ponytail management member responded.

It’s like the kind of expression you get when you hear that a celebrity is coming.

“I’m in my dorm right now.”

“Three, oh my. Director, did you know Rupiah?”

Another employee with short hair made a fuss in his voice.

“You didn’t know? She’s the director’s girlfriend.”

A tall employee who was watching from the side answered on his behalf.

Proudly, as if it were your own work.

“Wow, awesome. That was real. I thought it was a joke.”

The fussy, short-haired employee muttered quietly.

“Hey, Director. I don’t mean to disturb your time, but Rupia, don’t you want to tour the management bureau or something?”

An employee with a ponytail asked hesitantly.

Even though he was talking back, it was clear that he wanted to meet Lufia.

“You want to meet me, right? I think I’ll be around for quite a while this time, so I’ll probably have a chance.”

“Really? oh my god. Okay, please let me know. Absolutely!”

This guy seems to be a big fan.

At times like this, I realize once again how popular Rupiah is.

“Yes. I’m resting anyway, so it might be possible to take some time. Instead, I want you to take away Ker?”

“Oh, sorry.”

Staff tried using force to remove Kerr, but it had no effect.

“Sniff… The smell of rupiah… It’s in bold at the bottom… .”

“Hey, hey! How far are you going down?”

Ker sniffed and went lower and lower, finally stopping at the groin.

“Sniff. hot! Zeke, you’re mating!”

Oh my god, fuck.

“Thank goodness! I thought Zeke couldn’t mate! So now you can do it with me too?”

“Be quiet!”

I belatedly covered Ker’s mouth, but Ker’s shouts, which had a good voice, had already echoed throughout the cafe for a long time.

The attention of not only the management in front of me but also other employees in the cafe was focused.

Those eyes are on me… To be exact, it was aimed at my lower body.

I’ll be amazed.
