Chapter 50: Harem Newbie [R-18]

*

“Kim Sang-hyeok.”

As soon as I arrived at the academy, Yuuna called out to me.

“What’s with leaving me on read all weekend?”

“Ah, I was busy with… something else.”

I couldn’t possibly tell her what that “something else” was. Especially not Yuuna.

Whatever she might imagine, the reality was far beyond it.

“But you didn’t come with Hena? I thought you would.”

“Hena decided to come later. She already contacted the academy.”

“Why? Is she sick?”

Should I say she’s sick? It wasn’t quite like that…

“It’s more like… she’s completely drained of energy.”

“Drained… of energy?”

She should be able to figure it out by now. Hena and I are a couple, and we were home all weekend…

Yuuna had predicted we’d come to school together, but it seemed she couldn’t quite grasp the aftereffects of “that kind of thing.”

So…

“What are you talking about?”

“She fainted…”

“…Fainted?”

Yuuna stared up at me with an innocent look in her eyes.

Then, as if she sensed something from my attitude, she hung her head.

“Ah, aha… That kind of thing…”

Yuuna mumbled in a barely audible voice.

I heard her say, 「You can even make someone faint…?」

This was something I needed to reflect on as a boyfriend.

I might be fine producing endless streams of yellowish semen, but I hadn’t realized that Hena could actually suffer from dehydration…

“Mm. I see. Mmm…”

What was I supposed to do with this awkward atmosphere?

“Did you have a good weekend?”

“I was just at home… and then! On Sunday, I went to a cafe with my friends and took some Dungeon-stagram photos! But they weren’t very good, so I deleted them.”

…This is awkward. Something’s off.

「Sang-hyeok, you have to do it.」

If Yuuna liked me…

Should I reciprocate her feelings? As if I knew all along?

This was surprisingly difficult.

The protagonist of a harem story is supposed to be shameless by default. The heroines all conveniently fall into place, so a harem forms naturally…

But for me, transmigrated into a game, it wasn’t that simple.

Hena was an easy heroine to capture, but Yuuna wasn’t.

If I took her somewhere, grabbed her breasts or showed her my dick, and said…

「Wanna be my girlfriend too? Wink~☆」

…I’d definitely get hit by Yuuna’s Sansuhwa Slash.

Just confessing wouldn’t work.

1. I already have a pretty girlfriend.
2. I have no intention of breaking up with her.
3. Would you like to be my girlfriend too?

How was I supposed to convey these three points naturally? It’s surprisingly hard!

“Sorry for leaving you on read. Let me buy you a meal to make up for it.”

“Don’t be ridiculous.”

Yuuna said, her brows furrowed.

“Hey. Do you want to make your girlfriend unhappy? We can’t eat alone, just the two of us.”

Then what was that about calling me over the weekend…

Any normal girl would naturally put up a wall.

I didn’t think Yuuna was an easy girl, either.

Of course, she was going to keep her distance when dealing with a guy who already had a girlfriend.

“Then let’s go to a dungeon as a duo today. I’ll help you earn a ton of money.”

“A guy and a girl, just the two of us? No way. Who knows what could happen in there.”

“Yuuna…”

Is this the end for Kim Sang-hyeok, the harem newbie?

To be honest, a girlfriend and her mom seemed like more than enough.

What kind of glory and riches was I trying to attain by aiming for a harem anyway?

What would they do in a story like ‘Dae-i-sun’ at a time like this?

Maybe… I should try being a little forceful?

It was already awkward, but I had to try something.

“You said you’d help me until I hit 10,000 points.”

“Huh? Did I say that?”

“You said it yourself, ‘How can I get 10,000 points without you?'”

While Yuuna was hesitating, I grabbed her hand.

Tightly.

“Wh-what are you…”

I held her hand and didn’t let go.

Perhaps thinking it would be strange to forcefully pull away, Yuuna suddenly became docile.

Her ears turned red, and her cheeks flushed.

I moved closer to Yuuna and spoke calmly.

“How am I supposed to run dungeons if you don’t help me, Yuuna?”

“…With Hena… Ugh? Ah…? You’re too close…”

“Yuuna…”

I squeezed her hand.

“…Ah… you can’t…”

Swish.

Yuuna pulled her hand away and muttered.

“I’ll go to the dungeon with you… so… d-don’t… do this again…”

“…”

Was she always this cute…?

A different kind of charm from a black-haired girl with huge breasts…!

“Aren’t you going to answer? How dare a guy with a girlfriend just grab another girl’s hand like that…!”

“It’s strange for us to grow distant just because Hena and I are dating.”

“…”

“We can at least hold hands, can’t we?”

“N-no, we can’t… You idiot…!”

Yuuna fled back to her seat as if escaping.

Should I stop here for now…

My heart’s pounding. This is…

Was having a harem always this fun and thrilling?

—Only Sang-hyeok can bind us together as a squad again.

Going to dungeons and being lovey-dovey with just Hena would be fun, of course.

But it’s also true that I’d be sad if Yuuna wasn’t there.

I had to make an effort.

Giving my heart to this girl and that girl made me feel guilty at times, but after changing my course to “Harem Pure Love,” the simple fact that my options had widened made me quite excited.

Though it was quite difficult to make the heroines accept the rules of this “Harem Game” that I’d started.

I believe there are many better methods than rape.

Love over taming. Conversation over rape.

…Yuuna.

During class, I stared intently at Yuuna’s slender back.

Watching her like this, I was reminded again of how pretty she is. Her smiling face is cute.

Her shimmering hazel hair suited her well, and her blue eyes were very pretty.

Compared to dazzling heroines like Seridwen or the Student Council President, who shined just by existing, she had a more modest style…

But in an eroge, “modest” just means she’s incredibly pretty.

I like Yuuna, too. I don’t want to let us drift apart.

If we kept our distance like this, we’d never get together.

This time, as soon as the first period ended, I went over to Yuuna’s desk.

There were a lot of female students nearby, so all eyes were on us in an instant.

“Let’s take a walk.”

“…”

Yuuna seemed a bit troubled by the whispering around us, but she followed me, not looking entirely displeased.

When Kim Sang-hyeok, the face genius, asks you to come, how can you refuse?

“You’re acting strange today, Kim Sang-hyeok.”

Those three syllables, “Kim Sang-hyeok,” creating a bit of distance.

Yuuna stared intently at my face.

“Why are you paying so much attention to me?”

“…”

We left the academy building and went to a place where no one could hear us. This should be fine…

“Did you hear something from Hena?”

Crap.

Was I too obvious?

Right. A guy with a girlfriend making a move creates this kind of conflict.

Yuuna was clearly looking at me with hostility.

“So it’s true.”

“…What is?”

“Don’t play dumb. You heard everything from Hena, didn’t you? That’s why you’re awkwardly trying to be nice to me.”

“…”

“Tell her not to be ridiculous. Whatever you heard, it’s already over.”

Her pride must be hurt, from her perspective.

If she’s misunderstood and thinks I’m showing her consideration I don’t actually feel, all because Hena asked me to.

“Hena has nothing to do with this.”

After dating her, I realized she’s just a timid girl who likes “harem pure love” stories.

She was upset when she thought her boyfriend was being stolen by her own mother.

Which meant she never had any intention of handing me over to Yuuna in the first place.

She’s just a good girlfriend who follows my wishes.

“Then what is it…?”

“I still like you, Yuuna. That’s why—”

WHACK!

Yuuna kicked me right in the shin.

“Aghk!?”

A shin kick from a B-rank Hunter!

I immediately dropped to one knee.

“Are you crazy? What kind of move are you trying to pull?”

“That’s not it…”

Sseup, this wasn’t how it was supposed to go.

Harem… is hard…!!

“Kim Sang-hyeok. So you’re just coasting on your looks, huh? Did you pick Hena because she was an easy target?”

“No, that’s not it…”

“I’m leaving. Don’t follow me.”

I grabbed the arm of Yuuna, who was about to leave.

“Just listen to me. The three of us…”

“You should have chosen sooner…”

“Yuuna?”

“…You already chose Hena.”

“…”

Yuuna shook off my arm and left. I was left all alone.

…Somehow, I had a feeling I knew what was coming next.

Time stopped.

“Grrrrr!!! That insolent heroineeee!!”

“Calm down, En! Calm down!!”

“Let me go! I’m going to punish her with a dildo modeled after Sang-hyeok-nim’s dick!”

When did you even make something like that?!

I grabbed the rampaging En.

She’s so small, but she’s going wild!

“How dare she use such an impudent tone with Sang-hyeok-nim, the perverted sex GOAT!! And even use violence?”

“I’ve never been the GOAT of something like that!”

“If he offers to put his dick in, she should be on her knees saying, ‘Thank you, Sang-hyeok-nim♡ Please put it in this lowly heroine’s pussy♡’!”

“What kind of heroine acts like that!”

I put the fuming En in a chokehold.

“Kkeung, geung-euk.”

“Calmed down?”

A moment later, I let the blonde goddess go.

“Why are you so worked up? That kind of reaction is normal.”

“Yuuna wasn’t such a nasty heroine… I feel betrayed.”

“Isn’t it a bit much to call that ‘nasty’…”

Now that I was the protagonist and the plot had changed, it seemed even the Goddess perceived the heroines differently.

A girl like Yuuna is good to her boyfriend.

Which is exactly why she doesn’t look kindly on a guy with a girlfriend hitting on another girl.

In the first place, the process of getting close to ‘Onahole Princess’ Yuuna so easily probably didn’t exist in the original game.

Yuuna’s position was the meddlesome class president.

I cautiously predicted that she was probably a heroine who was sacrificed in a plot where she tried to help the pitiful and ugly former Sang-hyeok, only to have her guard down and be taken advantage of.

That’s just how eroge are.

Because I was taking such a strange route, I had brought out a rarely seen, aggressive side of Yuuna.

“She’s charming. Yuuna.”

“Do you perhaps enjoy being kicked by heroines?”

“It’s not that part…”

Being a living person means getting angry at things you should be angry about, and being happy about things you should be happy about. It’s about expressing your feelings honestly.

I like that about Yuuna.

“Thanks, En. For getting angry on my behalf.”

“Sang-hyeok-nim.”

“You can be a bit extreme sometimes, but I can’t imagine Onahole Academy without you now.”

As if she’d never been angry, the little blonde goddess proudly puffed out her small chest.

“Still, I’ll handle this myself.”

“It seems like things have completely fallen apart, are you sure? Should I give you 「Instant Mating Press」?”

Woooong. Light spread out.

The blonde goddess held up another bizarre power.

“Ta-da~~~!! Shameless Instant Mating! Enter a state of perverted sex with any girl Sang-hyeok-nim wants, anytime♡ Just making eye contact can trigger a serious, deep insemination session!”

“No…”

[You have acquired the Power 「Shameless Instant Mating」!]

“…”

Stop putting things like this in my status window.

Seeing this eroge goddess talk about “Rape the insolent heroine? Go!” with the same casualness as “Would you like a cup of tea?”, I realized that far from being a perverted GOAT, I was just a newbie pervert with a long way to go.

A newbie pervert. A newbie at harems.

It wasn’t easy to cast aside my pure love ways.

“Eh? You’re not going to have perverted sex?”

“I don’t think it was enough to erase all the affection I’ve built up. Yuuna will probably cool her head and think it over.”

That I like Yuuna. It was important that I revealed that directly.

“…P-perverted sex comes after that.”

Ah, damn, it’s embarrassing to actually say it…

En beamed.

“Ehehe, as expected of our Onahole Academy’s protagonist! You had a plan all along, didn’t you?”

“…Mmm. I have my own grand, perverted sex plan all worked out.”

That was a lie.

For a wannabe pervert like me, with over ten years of experience in pure love stories, no such ridiculous plan existed.

“I’ll be looking forward to it, Sang-hyeok-nim!”

The blonde goddess leaped up and kissed me on the cheek.

Huh…

[Goddess’s Approval +3]

What’s this? She can do cute things too.

She usually only does things that don’t match her appearance.

Leaving the shyly disappearing En behind, I returned to the academy.

The next class.

It’s time for dungeon exploration…

Anyone want to go with me? Of course not.

I stood still in a corner of the indoor training ground, leaning against the wall.

I fiddled with my gun for no reason, pretending to get ready.

I did this because I figured someone meddlesome would definitely approach me.

“…What are you doing alone?”

Ssk.

I turned around to see Yuuna, who had finished her preparations, standing there with an awkward and bashful expression.
