Became a Swordsman Genius in a Pretty Girl Game

336. Each Story (3)

[ I’ll go to the benefactor’s room. ]

When asked where she wanted to go, Ichika immediately sent that text.

‘As expected, is she going to keep asking for pets for the next two days? She really is like a cat.’

Since I knew nothing about Ichika’s personal story, I was fully prepared to follow her intentions this time.

And not long after, Ichika knocked on the door wearing a thin strap tank top and short shorts.

“I’m here. Benefactor.”

“Welcome, Ichika.”

I smiled and opened the door for her.

“Let’s go to the room.”

“Okay.”

As expected. What Ichika wanted seemed to be physical contact.

And sitting across from me on the bed in her light attire, Ichika stared into my eyes and suddenly spoke.

“You said that whatever I want is fine.”

“Yeah, anything. What do you want?”

“Then, there’s something I really want to do with my benefactor.”

I wonder what it could be. Something Ichika wants to do this badly, with her eyes shining like that.

I adjusted my posture, ready to listen.

“Sticky, gooey, thick s*x–mph!”

I momentarily freaked out and had to cover Ichika’s mouth.

Ichika furrowed her brows, giving me a *what was that for* look.

My room.

The bed.

Light clothing.

Just the two of us.

Ichika, not holding back.

Objectively assessing the situation, I got goosebumps.

What if I listened to her here?

Well…

Of course, I want to too.

That sticky, gooey, thick something…

I’m a robust young man, bubbling with youthful energy, reincarnated into a gender-reversed world with all my past memories.

Just how much had I held back while spending one-on-one time with each of my party members for two days and one night?

But, still.

Not now.

It’s not like I’m meeting the party members with those kinds of lighthearted feelings.

Of course, if we continue to have these good feelings for each other, something like that might happen someday, but, even so!

Whenever I’m bored, I check out the community forums here, and…

The women here have become just as much s*x-crazed as the men were in my previous life…

I remembered the dizzying sight of women posting my picture and unanimously shouting for s*x, I’d shut it down in a fright.

Me, with the mentality of my previous life.

And a woman from this gender-reversed world.

The two of us met.

If one of us were to make a move, it’s easy to predict that all the brakes would come off.

…Probably, we’d just do that all day, every day, regardless of whether the world ended or not.

I want a peaceful world where I can comfortably be with the people I love.

In a world that is falling apart, I am not just throwing everything away and instinctively moving according to my desires.

‘Ichika… This scary child!’

“Th-that’s excluded!”

“Hm.”

“S-so! That’s for later!”

“Tsk.”

As I shouted with a bright red face, Ichika clicked her tongue as if disappointed.

Fortunately, Ichika didn’t insist and immediately changed the subject.

“Then, I want to hear about the experiences of the other party members.”

“…Experiences?”

“Yeah, I want to know what kind of date the benefactor had with the other party members for one night and two days. I want to experience that.”

“…Then, even if you do it as quickly as possible, you’ll need a week alone, right?”

I looked at her with a puzzled expression.

“No. Leave that to me.”

Ichika intertwined her fingers with mine and smiled shyly.

“Don’t reject my energy; accept it, benefactor.”

Saah─

“I’ll invite you into the space of my dreams.”

*

Thus, I was invited into Ichika’s dreams.

Warm sunlight poured down, and it was a peaceful space filled with lush greenery and foliage.

‘This place…’

It felt somewhat familiar.

Here, it’s the Jukai Forest.

I had seen Ichika manipulate the dreams of a monster when it had mixed in during the freshman entrance ceremony before.

But this was the first time I was entering a dream directly.

And amusingly, there were quite a few familiar objects scattered around this place.

At least, just the things visible to my eyes.

The gifts I had given to Ichika.

Shin Se-hee’s ribbon-shaped voice modulator.

Lee Yu-ri’s shield.

Chairwoman Lina’s homunculus, Reina’s wings.

The building of our home.

On one side, the academy clock tower also stands.

And that’s a blue crab.

I guess they liked the leftover ones we grilled together last time.

“I see. This is Ichika’s treasure chest.”

I smiled as I looked around at the clutter scattered about.

Ichika, who had only shadows as friends when we first met, now seemed quite happy.

“If you look at me like that, I get embarrassed.”

I turned my eyes.

Ichika, covered in bite marks all over her body, was looking at me.

“You, your neck…”

“Here, the things I cherish are left behind as they please.”

Ichika averted her gaze and spoke in a small voice, as if feeling shy.

So, does that mean the scar on her neck is precious enough to be left there?

I chuckled softly.

“You’re the first benefactor to come this far.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. I wanted to show it to my benefactor first. That I’m happy here in Utopia. Sometimes, the benefactor looks at me with pity.”

“Ah.”

The reason I felt that way was because I knew she was suffering from the curse of insatiable lust.

Every time, maintaining reason with only light skinship amidst desires and impulses was no easy task.

“See? You don’t have to worry, right?”

“No. There are still many empty places. I need to fill them more.”

At that, Ichika’s face turned red.

“Th-that, uh, okay! I got it. Benefactor. L-let’s go now. T-time is short.”

Ichika stammered, flustered in a way that wasn’t like her.

“Got it. What should I do?”

“Yeah. Here, if the benefactor allows it, you can access experiences. And if you slow down time by five times, you can relive all the memories of the other party members for a day and a night.”

“Then, starting with the gukbap?”

“Yeah.”

As she reached out with one hand, the dungeon she had gone to with Lee Yuri materialized before her.

*

For a day and a night.

Ichika entered the places of the other party members and experienced everything.

Swinging a shield awkwardly as if she were Lee Yuri.

Feeling the stir of emotions for a forgotten mentor as if she were Kang Dohee.

Going on an ordinary date as if she were Shin Sehee.

Baking bread as if she were Lim Ga-eul.

Receiving cheers on the runway as if she were Sophia.

“Yeah. Satisfied. Everyone was happy.”

Returning to reality, Ichika smiled brightly and nodded her head.

However, I felt a strange sense of guilt on the other hand.

Somehow, it felt like I had handed over each person’s precious memories to Ichika without permission.

Then Ichika suddenly spoke up.

“You don’t have to worry. Benefactor.”

“······Huh?”

“Everyone agreed.”

“Agreed······?”

“Yeah. There are eight of us, but only one benefactor. To be honest, that time is too short.”

To that, I couldn’t deny it and nodded my head.

No matter how much time I devoted to the party members.

In the end, since my body is one, there will inevitably be dissatisfaction among them.

It means that they have to endure and wait until their turn comes.

“So, we decided to share each other’s experiences. That way, we can receive enough time and affection.”

Ah. So that means.

If I go on a date with someone, that experience will also be shared with the other party members.

Then, his face hardened.

“Wait. So you don’t have your own memories…?”

“I experienced everyone else’s memories first. This is good. I’ll get Alice’s and Master’s memories from them later.”

This meant that all the memories Ichika experienced today were for the other party members.

No.

This is wrong.

What Ichika was saying now was no different from saying she would sacrifice herself for everyone.

Ichika doesn’t express it well in words, but…

I now know that she’s full of consideration and likes the other party members more than anyone.

The fact that the dream space was filled with gifts for the other party members as much as my own explained that part.

“Ichika.”

I looked at Ichika intently and spoke in a serious voice.

“Huh? What is it, Benefactor?”

“Let’s add one more precious thing.”

And I hugged her.

“Th, this is, could it be… Sticky, gooey, thick s*x—”

“No, it’s not.”

I lightly scolded her.

And then, *squeeze*.

I bit into the nape of her neck hard enough to cause a slight pain, and sucked with my lips.

“Ah, Aah—. Mmnh—!”

Ichika let out a strange moan and twisted her body.

A time that felt both long and short.

When I parted my lips,

A transparent thread connected to the nape of Ichika’s neck.

Her neck was flushed.

A kiss mark would probably appear there soon.

“Ichika.”

“…”

“It’s good to care for everyone, but please also be greedy for your own memories with me, the first experience you have. To me, you are not just someone after the other party members; you are equally precious.”

“······Yes.”

Ichika nodded, seemingly shy, while fiddling with the collar of her outfit.

“My own memory······.”
