Chapter 3 – Episode 3. Memory (2)

I had a dream.

[■Hey! ■■■─]

A dream containing a person’s life.

[Ah■■ ■even ■■■!]

A long dream.

[You like■■ ■■■■─]

***

After an immense pain struck my brain.

“Haa… haa…”

I could clearly regain consciousness after a bizarre experience where cement of the same color was undulating.

“Ugh!”

Correction. I didn’t regain consciousness. I could only move my body.

My stomach felt terrible.

Fortunately, it seemed Takuya hadn’t eaten anything before I possessed him, as I only dry-heaved a few times.

I was able to come to my senses soon after.

“Ughh…”

Anyway, I came to my senses.

After regaining my senses, I figured out why I had collapsed.

The reason was obviously the [Takuya’s Memories] I received as a reward.

‘Since what I saw in the first place was also about Takuya.’

The memories I saw when I fainted were all about Takuya’s life.

To be precise, memories up until I possessed him.

Thanks to that, I learned Takuya’s home address, so I guess I should be thankful.

Or maybe.

‘Should I curse the fact that I was possessed into such a messed-up family?’

Based on the memories I saw, it seemed Takuya hadn’t lived an ordinary life either.

Not as much as me, though.

“Hoo. I don’t know, I’ll have to go and see.”

Thinking that, I pressed the exit button in the corner of the screen I had seen earlier.

Unless it was a life-ending button, it was easy to figure out what it was.

As I turned off the screen.

Caw- caw- caw-

“What’s wrong, Takuya? Why did you suddenly stop?”

The world started moving again.

I was momentarily stunned by the wondrous sight, but then I snapped back to reality at Sota’s questioning tone.

“It’s nothing. More importantly, let’s hurry and go play at the empty lot.”
“Okay!”

At my words, Sota grabbed my arm and ran.

I was surprised by how fast he was, but soon we arrived at the empty lot near Takuya’s and Sota’s houses. Sota, not even out of breath, smiled brightly and said.

“We’re here! Let’s play, Takuya!”
“Yeah…”

I wasn’t particularly tired either, but he didn’t seem tired at all even after running so fast.

Looking at that, I felt a vitality that I couldn’t feel in my pre-possession self, who was already old and starting to rot.

‘He’s really amazing.’

Is this the dignity of the male lead? Even though it’s an NTR game.

Anyway, after arriving at the empty lot, we started playing happily.

We played tag together (surprisingly, just the two of us), built sandcastles with dirt, played rock-paper-scissors, and other traditional games I had played as a child.

And in the process, I understood why adults compare the stamina of young people to an arc reactor.

I didn’t get tired.

Or rather, I was tired, but the desire to keep playing kept moving my body.

While I was internally realizing the horror of my rejuvenated body, Sota, who had just finished our fifth game of tag and was taking a break, said.

“Come to think of it, Takuya. Did you hear that they’re holding a big tournament in the next neighborhood?”
“What? A tournament?”
“Yeah! They said it’s some kind of game tournament?”

A game tournament?

As I looked puzzled, Sota continued to explain.

“I think they said it’s some kind of fighting game?”
“What, a fighting game?”

Fighting games, or “fighters” for short, were a traditional genre that had been around for a long time.

Humans naturally feel intense joy from watching others fight.

And fighting games were games that maximized this stimulation.

‘I used to play them a lot too.’

I had also played these games, and I had even climbed to a relatively high level before hitting a wall and giving up.

I thought about fighting games for a moment. Then, I wondered why such an event was happening, and I remembered another characteristic of the Lewd Mama series.

‘Come to think of it, Lewd Mama had several mini-games, right?’

That’s right, the mini-games inserted into the game.

Strangely enough, the Lewd Mama series had quite a lot of mini-games.

According to what I saw on Namuwiki, the Lewd Mama series was heavily criticized for lacking gameplay before, so it seemed they had tried to incorporate some gameplay into Lewd Mama, which is why there were so many mini-games.

There were so many that there were even jokes about how people played the game not to get off, but to play the mini-games.

Each game didn’t give much money, but if you cleared all the mini-games, you could make a decent amount of money.

This is good information, thanks to Sota.

“Thanks.”

Sota, not understanding my gratitude, just looked at me with a puzzled expression.

“Huh? For what?”
“It’s nothing. Since we’re talking about it, should we go to the tournament together?”
“Really?!”
“Yeah. Let’s practice together while we’re at it.”

At my words, Sota’s face brightened, and he grabbed my hand and said.

“Then, let’s practice at my house together!”
“At Sota’s house?”

Sota nodded at my words.

“Yeah! We have the series they’re using in the tournament at my house. Plus, my mom said she’d make something delicious for you when you come next time, Takuya.”
“Really?”

My eyes lit up at those words.

I was already wondering how to advance my relationship with Miyuki, no, Miyuki, and this was perfect.

I’ll use this as an excuse to advance our relationship.

‘Thanks to my experience playing Lewd Mama, I know exactly how to capture her.’

In the first place, capturing Miyuki isn’t that difficult.

The story of Lewd Mama isn’t about the story up to the capture, but rather the story after the capture.

I nodded at Sota’s words and said.

“Then, let’s go! Can I come this Sunday?”
“Okay, then I’ll tell my mom that you’re coming on Sunday! You have to come!”

At Sota’s words, I hid my burning desire behind a bright smile and said.

“Of course.”

I have to bang your mom.

I swallowed the rest of my words and talked with Sota for a while before we parted ways.

***

Step. Step. Step.

After talking with Sota for a while, I parted ways with him, and now I was extremely nervous.

It was inevitable.

Looking at the nameplate of the two-story detached house in front of me, it was obvious.

[Mori Family (森家)]

To be more precise, Takuya’s last name is Mori (森).

Can you understand now?

I had arrived in front of the house where Takuya lived.

I had already seen his family in Takuya’s memories, but I couldn’t help but feel nervous.

From the moment I possessed this body to the moment I realized that this body had parents.

I had been feeling guilty.

That’s because, in a way, I was the one who had stolen the body of their child.

Even I, at least, felt guilty about taking a child away from their parents.

What about taking Miyuki?

A woman with that kind of body is a crime to leave alone.

Anyway, that was why I was feeling guilty.

But what could I do? It’s not like I possessed him on my own will, and it’s not like I could give Takuya’s body back.

So, instead of feeling guilty, I decided to think of it as the karma of a guy who stole someone else’s mom.

It was a trashy thought, but it couldn’t be helped.

It was much better for my mental health.

I took a deep breath and relaxed.

‘Hoo… calm down, calm down. It’s not like I came here to commit a crime. I just came to play.’

I brainwashed myself like that and opened the door and entered the entrance.

-Click.

The door opened too easily.

For some reason, it wasn’t a metal door or a wooden door with a key, but a door that opened when you pushed it.

I was momentarily flustered by the door that opened so easily.

As I entered the house, I was hit by a strange but familiar smell of food coming from the kitchen and the boisterous laughter of comedians from the television in the living room.

I spoke in a voice that was neither too small nor too loud.

“I’m home.”

At my voice, I heard someone coming out of the kitchen and living room.

The first person to come out was from the kitchen.

A woman who seemed tall for a Japanese person, radiating maternal love and kindness from her whole body, came out of the kitchen with an apron and a ladle, and greeted me with a kind smile.

“Oh, welcome home.”
“I’m home, Mom.”

Her name was Mori Ayaka (森 綾香), my mom.

Just as I was about to say something to her, another person came out of the living room.

“Yo, you’re back.”

The person who came out of the living room was also quite tall, and although not as much as Ayaka, she had a glamorous figure and healthy-looking tanned skin. She had a cool impression, and her name was Sakuragi Yuka (桜木 由香).

“Yes, Mom.”

She was my other mom.

…..

What does that mean?

It’s not hard to understand.

This guy, Takuya, has two moms, a very simple statement.

Looking at the two moms greeting me, I thought of a famous line from a certain game anime.

‘You must be happy to have two moms.’

It was a truly chaotic family environment.
