episode_0032

April 14th.

The morning after Suin became Saya’s third slave.

It’s usually a day when school is supposed to be held, but it’s a holiday so we have the day off.

If possible, I’d like to finish everything that can be done today. I’m not sure if that’s possible.

Yesterday I slept on the sofa in the living room of Suin’s house.

If possible, I plan to do so in the future. In other words, I would like to designate this place as my territory.

The house is spacious and comfortable, and there is even a panic room in the basement… as it is located in a wealthy alley, it is relatively safe.

Since Su-in is practically cut off from her parents, there is little chance of problems arising in that regard.

The problem is my will and the circumstances of my senior Saya… .

I woke up to a delicious smell that tickled my nose.

When I came to my senses, Suin was moving in the kitchen.

“What are you doing?”

“Ah, wake up… Why are you naked?!”

“I don’t usually wear anything when I sleep.”

There’s no need to be alarmed again.

I went into the kitchen, roughly putting on the clothes I had left on the table.

Looks like she’s making French toast. The bread is starting to turn golden brown.

A capsule machine on one side of the table is brewing coffee. There seems to be an extra glass with ice… .

“Is that mine?”

“Uh. If you want something other than coffee, there’s something in the fridge.”

“… At this point, you seem like the most feminine of the four of us.”

“What?”

There is no answer as to Senior Saya’s cooking ability at this point. I have never cooked before either.

I don’t know about Yuna, but she’s not the type to be interested in things like cooking. Even if she were, she wouldn’t care about other people’s food…

In the first place, having homemade French toast and iced Americano for breakfast is not a Korean choice.

“… Now that I look at it, your pajamas are also silk robes. Are you a princess?”

“What the hell have you been talking about since a while ago… .”

I went over and looked under the gown.

Yeah, it’s men’s underwear. It’s a little too big.

“Thank goodness. If you were wearing women’s underwear here, I would have suspected that there was some kind of character-swapping trick.”

“Why are you picking a fight in the morning?!”

No, I mean, it’s just so amazing.

After making the French toast, I let each person take a bite.

He was checking to see if he had been drugged, but he didn’t seem to know that he was being suspected. “What are you dissatisfied with? It was cooked well… .” and grumbled.

The same goes for coffee.

There was a possibility that the medicine was in the ice instead of the coffee, so I made sure to melt it enough before drinking it, but there was still no significant reaction.

On the contrary, I asked, “Do you like it a bit darker? Should I change the capsules? ””

Let’s say that making something as cumbersome as French toast in the morning (※this is the opinion of a person who lives in a world where diets are centered around synthetic foods) is originally like that.

I’m preparing my share as if it were a given, without even considering the possibility of being suspected. Isn’t there something wrong?

There is a saying that goes, “Scratch it and it will fall apart,” but I decided to talk about it anyway.

When I told him why I had made him taste the toast and coffee on purpose, he was dumbfounded for a moment, but then his face turned bright red as if he had gotten angry.

“What the hell! I won’t do it! I won’t do it! If you doubt it, don’t say anything!”

“I don’t know if you didn’t do it after trying, but it seems like you never even thought of doing something like that, so it’s amazing.”

“Yeah, I’m an idiot who can’t even think of that!”

“Or you really like the current situation. Right?”

He grabbed the person who was raising the temperature and pulled him towards him.

She struggled for a moment, but when I put my hand inside her gown and touched her chest, she became calm.

Thanks to the intense time spent in one night, Suin’s body reacted quickly. However, her mind did not.

“What the heck… . If you’re suspicious, just give me an order… . Why do you make people feel bad… .”

“I told you not to do it by order. I want you to think about it calmly and with a clear mind, and then do your best for Senior Saya.”

I don’t think you can be loyal without something greater than momentary pleasure, pain, or fear.

When he said that, Suin was silent for a while. Of course, except for the panting sound.

Then, with difficulty, he continued speaking.

“You like that senior, Sayara… a lot… . What’s your relationship… Haa♡ Ma, just stay still when you’re talking!”

“That’s right. Haven’t you ever told me?”

So I told Suin about my relationship with Na Sa-ya Sunbae. Of course, I just glossed over what I experienced based on what I saw in the future.

“Sa… Pre-knowledge cheat… . It’s cowardly… .”

“It’s refreshing to see such a reaction to those words.”

Perhaps because he had a wealth of general knowledge(?), he easily accepted the situation.

“I see… . So you know everything about me too… .”

“I’m just saying this just in case, but having prior knowledge doesn’t mean you know everything. On the contrary, there are so many things that are different from what I knew that I’m really confused. For example… .”

“For example?”

“Senior Saya is infinitely cuter than I knew!”

“… … … … … … … … … .”

The fat gaze returned.

This guy can make facial expressions similar to Yuna’s.

“No, really. Just the feeling of being alive and in front of me is already incomparable. My eyes reflected in my senior’s eyes reflected in my senior’s eyes reflected in my senior’s eyes reflected in my senior’s eyes reflected in my senior’s eyes reflected in my senior’s eyes reflected in my senior’s eyes reflected in my senior’s eyes reflected in my senior’s eyes… .”

“What?”

“Uh, yeah, anyway, just looking at each other like that makes me feel infinite. If there’s a senior in the same room, every time the senior breathes, his breath spreads throughout the room, and the overall concentration of Saya-senpai in the space becomes stronger, right? When I think about that, I get so frustrated that I can’t breathe carbon dioxide… I want to seal the space completely and fill the atmosphere 100% with Saya-senpai’s breath.”

“ Hey, wake up! If you don’t, you’ll die… ?”

“What you want!”

No, I don’t want to. I want to live happily ever after.

He came to his senses and spoke again.

“Well, even if that sense of presence is like that… there are limits to what you can see from the future. No matter how much you know, when you talk to the real thing, it feels different.”

The artificial intelligence of Seraph of the End was by no means stupid.

Since there are initial values and tendencies of a set personality, similar reactions are shown in similar situations, but clearly different reactions are shown depending on the situation.

If you give them personality traits they didn’t have before through cheating, they may become puzzled by their own changes or experience mental confusion.

But in the end, games and their details have their limits.

However, the senior Saya I actually met was not the same.

They say that the most shocking thing is the unexpected side of someone you thought you knew. Every single moment with Senior Saya was like that.

The aspects I thought I knew were deeper, and the unexpected parts came to me in a shocking way that shook me.

Every moment, I get more into it than before.

“Well, I can tell just by looking at your face… .”

“Yeah, you fell in love with my smiling face.”

“… I didn’t say I fell in love with you! I just thought you were a little pretty… .”

There are people who make excuses that are not convincing.

“I was probably with Senior Saya back then, right?”

“… Yeah.”

“I don’t mean to be self-deprecating, but I’m sure he must have been incredibly happy when he was around Saya-senpai, so he must have seemed better than usual then.”

I also learned from my seniors that I must understand the influence I have on others.

“Well, that’s all for the senior’s story. You too.”

“Me too?”

“You’re different from what I knew. The you I knew was more hateful, unrepentant, and a troublesome guy who tried to get revenge with cheap tricks.”

Believe it or not, there is no one who doesn’t wonder about their future.

Su-in, who had been hesitating for a while, finally couldn’t hold back and asked.

“In your future… What happened to me…?”

“Aren’t you guessing?”

We’ve talked about this a few times. How to handle it.

Suin swallowed hard and answered.

“… I told you… that you don’t need arms and legs… .”

“Well, you get the general idea, right? Isn’t this a common development in humiliation stories?”

“… I was in a position where that would happen, so how could I have let it go so lightly? … Even now, there is still a possibility that it could happen, right?”

Yes, that’s right.

Now that you’re a slave, you can become one at any time.

This guy looks like he’s getting a good grasp of the situation for the first time.

“I wouldn’t say there aren’t any… but it’s probably pretty low now. You saw Senior Saya.”

“… Yeah.”

“Since you acted like that when we first met, if I do something bad to you, Senior Saya will be sad.”

“… Won’t you stop it?”

A voice that sounds a little tired.

“Senpai Saya likes me too. More than I like Senpai Saya. So if you do it because you need me to, I won’t stop you.”

“You’re too sure, so you’re unlucky… .”

Of course, I don’t do things that make my senior sad unless it’s really necessary.

“I know it’s a bit strange, but the you I saw in the future and the you now are incredibly different.”

Was he the kind of guy who could feel such deep guilt?

Was it that the short time since I subdued this guy had changed something inside him so drastically?

So, could there have been a different direction in the game?

It’s full of questions.

“Honestly, when I look at you now, that’s all I can think of.”

“What are you thinking?”

“He’s so different from the guy I know. Isn’t this guy just waiting for the day he’ll turn into a cute girl?”

“… … … … … … … … … … … … … .”

Of course not.

As evidence, this struggle was so violent that it could only be suppressed by pinching the tip.

But seeing the person who kept complaining because the branch didn’t go away made me feel a little sorry.

“I wasn’t trying to tease you. I think you’re quite sincere when you say you want to change. That’s why you feel awkward… Anyway, that’s why the future I saw and the current you are very different. The results won’t be different, right? However… .”

“… What is it now?”

“I don’t know about Na-wa and Saya-senpai, but there’s one more person we need to be careful of.”

†

About an hour after I contacted them, Saya-senpai and Yuna came.

They both entered the house looking a little awkward, and Su-in greeted them with an even more awkward look.

“Oh, welcome. Senior Saya, Senior Yuna.”

“Oh, yes. Oh, hello. Suin… Yang… .”

“… I’m fine.”

Deciding on a title in group life is surprisingly important. In fact, Su-in herself can just address him as if he were her senior at school, but it felt a bit awkward for her to receive it.

It looks like the senior decided to add ‘sheep’ after much thought, and it looks like Yuna will probably go with ‘hey’ or ‘you’.

After having all three of them sit on the living room sofa, I started to sort out the current situation.

“First of all, Suin decided to officially join the family. Of course, there wasn’t much of a choice.”

“… Are you really going to push that family thing?”

“Well, even if it’s called ‘Saya Senior and the Slave Corps’, it doesn’t matter?”

“That’s a bit… .”

Senior Saya also expressed her discomfort.

“Set and four are different. Anyway, you’ll need a name. If you think of a good name, please tell me later… Anyway, I understand that Suin has joined the Master War, and I agree that it will be difficult to find a Master who is more affectionate than Senior Saya.”

Su-in, whose gaze was focused on her, lowered her head.

Although she is wearing clothes from when she was a man, the clothes look a bit big because her body has become thinner overall even though she is the same height.

Thanks to that, even that kind of movement has the effect of looking slightly cute.

Of course, Yuna, who seemed to feel extreme disgust towards Suin, didn’t seem to think that way at all.

“You said you wanted to be different from before, and I confirmed that to some extent last night. You will have to deal with the consequences of what you did, so don’t try to eat me like that, Yuna.”

“… .” “… .”

Yuna and Suin both looked away without saying anything.

Senior Saya had a troubled expression on her face, but the first priority was to sort out the situation.

I beamed Suin’s laptop screen to the large TV in the center of the living room.

“This is the statement of Suin’s assets… but a significant portion of it has been embezzled, so it will be returned. Of course, the remainder will become our military funds. Since Suin agreed, there’s no need to worry.”

It’s still extortion.

But taking it from the enemy and taking it from civilians are two different things.

Senior Saya looked like she didn’t know what to say, and Yuna looked slightly surprised as she looked at the data before saying, ““You’re rich… .”.”

Suin muttered awkwardly.

“Coin is doing well… .”

“I understand, but if this master war continues, the social system will inevitably become unstable. That’s why stocks and coins are risky. I hope you take that into consideration and prepare for the future.”

However, until we enter Part 3, we will be able to manage our assets fairly normally.

Suin made a bewildered expression.

“I’m in charge?”

“I’m not interested in that kind of thing anyway, and I have to spend my remaining time training. I’ll use this for living expenses.”

The screen moved to the list of medicines that Suin had prepared.

“I will sell drugs that are not very risky. The criteria for risk are the possibility that the person who acquires the drug will use it for combat and the possibility of addiction. If you look at it, it comes down to these two things.”

One is a recovery potion.

The other one is weak.

“Since both are too effective as they are now, we are going to reduce the efficacy a bit and make it into an ointment. This will also solve the problem of using too many small amounts.”

Since it is a medicine made with this ability, it will be effective whether you drink it, apply it, or spray it.

The ointment form is usually the most cumbersome to use, but in this case it is the best.

“How are you going to sell the medicine? I thought about it, but I can’t see a way… . I’m scared of being tracked.”

“You have a line that I know. I’ll let you trade through that. The profit will be greatly reduced, but you don’t have to worry about guys trying to figure out the route.”

“Future City Cheat… ?”

Suin made a genuinely envious expression for a moment.

“Well, if you need money, I can help you out a little bit… . But, like a part-time job, will it be enough… ?”

“Of course, I don’t want to touch my senior’s money, but… more importantly, I don’t have time to waste on things like part-time jobs. I need training to prepare for what’s to come.”

“Oh, I see.”

I looked at Suin and smiled.

“What is it, what is it… .”

“As you might have guessed, we need your help with training. We can’t do asset management, sales, or training without you. We can’t survive without your active help.”

“… That means I’m going to completely exploit you!”

Even as she said that, Suin had a somewhat happy expression on her face.
