Chapter 73

That’S Enough. I Don’T Want To Hurt You Again With Something Like This.

…Then what about me? Is it okay for me to get hurt? I tried to ignore the old thoughts resurfacing and stared at Diana.

Diana blinked for a moment, then tilted her head cutely before smiling brightly.

“I don’t even remember what Dad’s face looks like?”
“That’s a lie.”

My words came out reflexively, and Diana’s eyes widened before she started giggling as if it was funny.

“That, ‘that’s a lie’ thing. That’s what Diana always says, but today, it’s Yurian who’s saying it?”

She’s just changing the subject. I grabbed Diana’s butt tightly, pulled her close, and touched our noses together. Looking into her eyes at a distance where I could feel her soft breaths, I asked again.
…This is just simple curiosity.

“Answer me. Am I a substitute?”

The smile slowly faded from her face, and Diana’s lips moved slightly as her expression turned blank.

“No. From the beginning, Yurian was Yurian.”

And then a short kiss. She playfully nibbled on my lower lip before pulling away, and Diana’s eyes curved into a smile again.

“And I’ve never lied to Yurian, not once, except when I’m joking.”

Her intense gaze seemed to be asserting that she was different from someone else, and I coughed and subtly avoided her eyes. She’s never lied before, which means that her saying she doesn’t even remember her father’s face is true. Then, was everything I thought about her being a substitute just my delusion?

“I think I know what Yurian is thinking. Why are you having such delusions? Diana likes Yurian. She likes Yurian who always watches over her, who is always with her, and who is always on her side.”

I’ve always wondered about it since that incident a few years ago. What is Diana’s random personality? What kind of personality did she get with each game? And through Diana’s past and present, I’ve become more and more certain.

‘Attachment issues.’

Could it be that Diana has attachment issues? In fact, making logical inferences about past events based on a randomly assigned personality in each new game might not be in line with ‘game common sense.’ But… is it really a random personality like in a game? Is it a pure random draw that excludes a person’s past, actions, and values?

Not everything works like a game. Just like how ‘game common sense’ is becoming less applicable in this game world that has become reality, I don’t know how random personalities are implemented.

Perhaps the random personalities of each character aren’t truly random… but are determined by their past, personality, and actions? If that’s the case, then considering Diana so far, her hidden personality trait must be… attachment issues or something similar.

▶ Affection Max (Capture Complete)

A semi-transparent status window automatically appeared in front of my eyes. It had been a while since I last saw it, but Diana’s status window, which I was very familiar with, had undergone some changes.

The detailed stats and skills of the target that I hadn’t seen before. And the newly added personality and affection levels are one thing… but what’s with the specific personality for me? Is it a trait that only applies to me? Attachment issues, spoiled, blind devotion… they all fit. It’s almost exactly what I expected.

…But why is her status like that? Is it showing her current thoughts? The same words are being repeated so frighteningly, is this okay?

I glanced at Diana through the semi-transparent status window in front of me, and she was smiling brightly as usual, staring intently at me. It was the usual Diana.

‘…So, she’s always thinking like that…?’

This is, a bit heavy. I feel like I’m suffocating from such heavy love.

【You can now recruit target ‘Diana’ as a party member!】
【Y/N】

…What is this? I unconsciously selected Y, and Diana’s body twitched.

▷ Yurian…?
“Yurian…?”
▶ Uh… hi?
▷ What is this?
“What is this?”

The words that appeared in the semi-transparent whisper window in front of me were the same words that came out of Diana’s mouth. Diana, who seemed flustered, kept rolling her eyes around, and then her gaze turned to mine.

“W-well, yeah. What is this?”
▷ Don’t think you can just brush this off. Diana is serious.
“Don’t think you can just brush this off. Diana is serious.”

What is this? It’s confusing to have semi-transparent letters floating in front of my eyes like a chat window, and to hear the same words being spoken. It’s not like there are two Dianas, so why are the words and letters appearing at the same time?

“Wait a minute. Diana, how did you do that?”
▷ When I think, the letters just appear on their own?
“When I think, the letters just appear on their own?”
“…No, it’s confusing, so can you just do one or the other?”
▷ How do I make this disappear?
“How do I make this disappear? Ah, it’s gone! It disappeared!”

What is this situation? Why can I whisper to Diana now? And a party member? Aren’t parties only possible between players? Why can I whisper to Diana and even form a party with her? I don’t understand.

Could it be because of the changes in the status window? Why did the status window change? …When I became certain of Diana’s hidden personality. And after the system message appeared that my understanding had reached 100%.

‘Understanding 100%… unlock conditions? What are the conditions? Was it becoming certain of Diana’s hidden personality? Or was it the first time I connected with Diana? …N-no way, is it some kind of adult game setting like the first time I cum inside her?’

…This is worth thinking about. I need to recruit Irian as a party member too.

‘Sooo… I need to find Irian’s hidden personality and cum inside her during our first time? Hmm.’

It’s not like I’m a pervert, and it’s not like I’m trying to do all sorts of things with Irian for that purpose… but if it’s an unlock condition, I can’t help it. I’ll do the same for Irian. Cum inside her during our first time.

“…Yurian?”
“Uh, uh, why?”
“What are you… thinking about?”
“Well, I was thinking about Diana. What could this phenomenon be~?”
“……”

I subtly avoided her gaze as she stared at me intently, and Diana moved closer without an inch of space between us and suddenly grabbed my balls and started kneading them.

“Eung. You’re not lying to Diana, are you? Diana feels like she’s going to get angry.”
“…I, I was thinking about that phenomenon.”

It’s true. It’s not a lie. I was just thinking about how to fulfill the conditions with Irian.

“Hmmmm.”
“…Hey, aren’t you squeezing them too much? It’s a little… painful.”
“It’s Diana’s, so it’s okay.”
“…Y-yes, it’s Diana’s, but still, can you be a little gentler… can you be a little gentler?”
“It’s okay. If it breaks, Diana will fix it.”
“……”

This scary girl. I know Diana wouldn’t actually do that, but just imagining it makes me shudder.

“So, explain what this is.”
“Ah, that’s… it’s called whispering. Hmm. It’s actually a trait unique to the people from my hometown. I told you about Cha Hyewon before. That people from my hometown can communicate even when they’re far apart. This is that method. But I don’t know why it’s working for Diana too.”

Diana’s eyes rolled around as if she was deep in thought. …And in the meantime, her hand kneading my balls hasn’t stopped for a single moment.

“So, does that mean that Diana is the first person other than people from your hometown to have this phenomenon?”
“Yeah.”
“And people from your hometown can naturally use this phenomenon, ‘whispering,’ without any conditions?”
“That’s right. It seems like as long as people from my hometown recognize each other, it’s possible.”

Honestly, I don’t know if it’s accurate. Cha Hyewon is the only person from my hometown, and I still don’t know exactly why I can use party and whispering.

“Hehe. So, Diana is special?”

Diana, who seemed to be in a good mood, smiled brightly and suddenly kissed me. I naturally hugged her and tried to continue the kiss, but she suddenly climbed on top of me and started sucking on my lips intensely.

“D-Diana?”

Our lips barely separated, and I called out to her, feeling bewildered by the sudden intensity. Diana’s face slowly turned towards me. …W-why are her eyes so dazed?

“Eung. Yurian, you only have Diana, right? You can’t do this with anyone else.”
“That’s true… no, wait a minute. Hold on. So, tell me how it works, how to use it… Ugh! I said wait.”
“I can’t hold back. Diana… wants it so much.”
“N-no, okay, I understand, but let’s talk first… Huk.”

Diana, who had arbitrarily inserted my thing into her and was rubbing it, suddenly inserted it and started bouncing her butt, so I couldn’t even have a proper conversation. No, are you doing it again after that? Diana, do you have ‘amazing stamina’ or a higher trait like ‘femme fatale’ or ‘seductress’?

After a whirlwind of passion, Diana collapsed on top of me, seemingly exhausted from the excitement, and I gently stroked her back. Every time she heaved, her hot breath touched my chest where she was burying her face, making me feel ticklish.

“I told you to take it easy. Why are you so excited?”
“…B-because you said Diana was special, I couldn’t help it.”

Indeed. Diana is also embarrassed, as she can’t lift her face and is talking into my nipple. …It’s ticklish.

“You know, Diana is special to me. Right?”
“Eung.”
“And this ‘whispering’ is only possible with Diana.”
“Eung.”
“So, you won’t be jealous anymore, right?”
“Eung…ni. No.”

Tch, it doesn’t work.

“…But I’ll let you have Irian.”
“Really!?”

My voice got louder without me realizing it. Oh, Diana is allowing it. What is happening? I was grinning when Diana, who had been burying her face, slightly lifted it and glared at me.

“See? You were up to something with Irian, weren’t you? What happened? Tell me everything.”
“…No, that’s a bit. Irian has her own position…”

I glanced at her. She’s glaring at me fiercely.

“And what?”
“It’s still not enough.”
“Not enough? What? Kyaa!”

I grabbed Diana’s waist and spun her around. Our positions were reversed, and I was on top of Diana, who was lying down. I bounced my hips, and Diana’s waist slightly lifted into the air.

“You started on your own and finished on your own. I’m not done yet.”
“Wait, wait a minute, Yurian. Diana is still tired… Huk! Diana is tired!”
“Then I’ll finish you quickly.”

Because she had been doing her own thing on top of me and had collapsed from exhaustion, my still hard thing was inside Diana. Using this, I started thrusting, and Diana, who was unusually flustered, started waving her hands.

“Ah! Wait, wait, Yurian. Diana is tired!”

The purpose was to make her so exhausted that she would be out of her mind, so of course she should be tired. As I continued to thrust mindlessly, Diana’s body, which had been convulsing and moaning, lost its strength.

“Haa… Eung… You’re too much.”
“Irian is okay, right?”
“Eung. I said it was okay. I said Irian was okay.”

Diana, who was breathing heavily, glared at me weakly, so I smiled brightly at her.
