Ch.342True Pinocchio (3)

Violet and I heard the sounds echoing in real stereo sound in real-time.

“Wow. Young love.”

I unconsciously blurted out such a comment as the atmosphere grew awkward.

“What kind of old man comment is that?!”

Violet immediately shouted, her face turning red.

Soon, the noise from the next room subsided.

“Um… this is my first time, okay? Take responsibility properly. Really.”

The princess’s voice could be heard.

“Yes. Of course… I’ll take responsibility. Really.”

I could hear my past self saying that while embracing the princess.

——–

After that, Violet and I ended up following the hero and princess’s party.

Along the way, we encountered monsters and saved people—a classic development. It was the quintessential hero’s journey.

‘But… where did the other companions go?’

From my previous memories, I had a whole harem of members tagging along. I was quite curious about when they would join.

“Back then… I shouldn’t have given you my purity.”

Violet said with a complicated expression.

“Huh? What do you mean?”

I looked at Violet.

“After that moment… my past self awakened to his playboy tendencies.”

Violet said with a troubled expression.

It’s always frightening when someone suddenly develops an interest in women.

“Princess… tonight too…”

My past self now casually entered the princess’s tent every night.

“Oh, tonight too? Really… haaah?! Haaang?!”

The princess couldn’t keep up with the hero’s youthful stamina.

Soon, the hero’s fame spread far and wide. And beautiful female companions joined one after another. Moreover, all the new party members were attracted to the hero. Naturally, the hero’s harem was quickly established.

The hero began soothing his battle-weary body and mind with women.

“You!! You said you’d take responsibility!”

The princess shouted.

“Of course, Princess, you’re my main wife. And the first child will be yours.”

My past self replied nonchalantly.

“How can you say that! I never agreed to polygamy!!”

The princess was furious.

“But I… I like you, Princess.”

My past self immediately put on a dejected expression. He was consistent even in his past life. His mindset was just like mine. His moral compass was vaguely shattered.

“I, I like you too, Hero! That’s why I want you to look only at me!!”

The princess immediately became angry.

“This won’t work!! We’re separating!! You’re strong enough now, so you don’t need my help anymore. I’ll be at my family’s private villa!! Don’t you dare come looking for me! Absolutely not!!”

The princess shouted as she packed her things and left.

“Deliberately revealing her destination. She wants me to come find her.”

I could tell that right away.

“Shut up!! Seriously!! Don’t deliberately narrate like that!!”

Violet fumed beside me.

Anyway, it seemed the hero and princess had separated.

———

After that, memories flowed quickly.

Later, the hero’s party became exactly as I had vaguely glimpsed in my memories. Without the princess, he gathered beautiful women of all nationalities and races as party members.

“Even with lost memories, your behavior doesn’t change.”

Violet looked at me with cold eyes.

“………”

I had nothing to say. Honestly, if Eri were a bit more normal, it wouldn’t be strange if I got slapped and separated from her. Eri… thanks for accepting the harem.

Still, the hero seemed to genuinely care for the princess. Whenever he had free time after completing his tasks, he would go to the princess’s villa.

“How dare you brazenly come in! Get out!”

The princess immediately became angry.

“I missed you so much, Princess. No… not princess. I missed my wife so much.”

My past self said that while embracing the princess.

“Hmph… you’re trying to deceive me again with such easy words?”

The princess immediately pushed my past self away.

“Deceive?! You don’t have to be so malicious!”

I shouted as I blocked the princess’s path. After that, they argued for a long time.

“This kind of real marital fight is a bit…”

I quickly became uncomfortable. It was like getting a glimpse of the negative aspects of my future married life. Anyway, my feelings were quite complicated.

After arguing for a while, my past self and the princess began to physically struggle. And their eyes met.

“………..”

Afterward, they went straight to bed and engaged in passionate lovemaking.

“From fighting to that suddenly?”

I couldn’t help but interject.

“Ughhhh….!!”

Violet, who had recovered her past memories before me, blushed intensely. Yes, this was nothing short of embarrassing.

———-

The hero visited the princess every year. The princess, as always, cursed or got angry. However, the conclusion was always a storm of passion.

Every time the hero went to the princess’s villa, the scenery had changed. There was one more newborn baby each time. They were the children of the princess and the hero.

By the sixth year, there were already four children.

“That’s how… my past self and I formed the worst marital relationship. My first marriage ended in the worst way.”

Violet said dejectedly.

“No!! You fought and did everything you needed to do!! Six years of separation and already four children!! All daughters!! That’s a harmonious family!!”

I shouted loudly. I had to object to this.

“That’s because you tried to force yourself on me!!”

Violet shouted.

“What force?! Look!! Your past self was the one pulling me to bed first!!”

That part was truly unfair!!

And the scene immediately changed.

“Aang~”

The princess was feeding me food with a stiff expression while acting cute.

Squeeze-!

The hero was sitting with the princess on his lap, fondling her chest.

“Really… the baby is watching.”

Words dripping with honey naturally flowed from the princess’s mouth.

“That’s too harmonious! This isn’t the worst, is it? I’ll concede it’s the second worst!”

I pleaded to Violet.

“Still, this wasn’t the married life I had in mind!!”

Violet was angry as if she would die.

———-

Anyway, it felt like we had seen all the memories we needed to see. I honestly didn’t know what this had to do with awakening the True Pinocchio. Yeah, I just felt mentally exhausted. It was like learning about a past I didn’t need to know.

“Anyway… I wish I hadn’t recovered my past life memories. Why would I want to remember such a terrible marriage…”

Violet said, crouching down.

“I’m… sorry. But I don’t have much connection with my past self. You could say we’re different people. My memories were reset once.”

I said.

“I know. This is just me venting.”

Violet said.

“Similarly… your past self is different from you. Can’t we just think of this as a bad dream and start anew?”

I said.

“That’s… not possible.”

Violet made a tearful face.

“The feelings of who my past self liked… those feelings still remain.”

Violet began, speaking.

“What…”

“After recalling my memories, my heart races when I look at you!”

Violet cried out with a tearful expression.

“…I think I feel the same way.”

I had to honestly admit it.

“From your princess days until now… you’re still beautiful. That’s what I thought.”

I also awkwardly expressed my true feelings.

At the moment when we both honestly confessed our feelings for each other, the hero and princess began to make love after putting their children to bed.

“………..”

“……….”

My eyes met Violet’s directly.

Chu-! Chu-!

After that, caught up in the mood, Violet and I began to mix our lips. What started as a kiss quickly escalated in passion. Soon, Violet and I began to undress each other and passionately intertwine our bodies.

The past duo and the present duo joined together in a deep, passionate memory of physical intimacy.

———

And when I came to my senses, the memory recall in the dungeon had already ended.

“Really. You’re so good in bed that I can’t hate you.”

Violet said grumpily, lying with my arm as her pillow.

“I think I’ve fallen for Violet.”

I had to admit it. Not only was it good, but when our bodies intertwined, I felt a sense of nostalgia.

“Fool. You like any woman, don’t you?”

Violet said, narrowing her eyes.

“I like you because you’re Violet.”

I immediately embraced Violet.

———-

This dungeon itself seemed to be not one where enemies appeared, but one for tracing memories. Once the reminiscence was over, the dungeon’s form crumbled and disappeared.

Violet and I walked out of the dungeon, holding hands.

“I see… you’ve faced your memories.”

Bluebeard said with a smile. He seemed to have figured out what happened by seeing Violet and me holding hands.

“………”

Violet just looked at the ground with a bright red face. Shy Violet was extremely cute too.

“By the way… don’t you have a lot of girlfriends? What are you going to do?”

Greenbeard asked while sowing seeds in the field.

“This isn’t the first time. I’ll have to work hard to get permission.”

I said with a smile. Yes, I was a veteran expert when it came to harems and affairs. It’s a bit awkward to say this about myself.

“Right. Good luck. We’ll… bury the body if needed.”

Greenbeard said with distant eyes.

Why are you being so scary?

Anyway, it seemed the condition for unlocking the True Pinocchio had been met. I could tell by the alert sound from my status window.
