Lee Hyun-ah… My memory's hazy, but was she a D-rank damage dealer who used a sword?
In reality, I'd been in contact with her as recently as yesterday, but because of ‘Heroine Netori,’ it didn't feel like yesterday at all.
I'd spent nearly five years away… It was only natural that I didn't remember.
I checked her profile picture, thinking it might jog my memory, and only then did I remember.
Red hair, a haughty look, and enormous breasts.
Right, she was the one I used to party with. I rode her bus in the early days.
She was my benefactor, the one who taught me the basics when I knew nothing but vague things about Hunters.
Thanks to her, I was able to function as a proper Hunter and even rise to D-rank.
But… at the drinking party celebrating my promotion to D-rank, I fucked Lee Hyun-ah when she was wasted.
Didn't I record a video too? I think I was able to because Lee Hyun-ah mistook it for a dream…
Ah, found it.
[Minwoo… sob… I'm sorry… for being such a bitch… sob sob…]
[Stop crying and speak properly.]
[I'm sorrry! For not keeping my virginity until marriage… Ahh! Haa… For giving my virginity to another man… I'm sor… Aaaaah!]
[I'm sorrry! Minwoo, sob! Your cock felt so good! Ha, haa! Hwaa…]
[Being pierced like thiiis, hah, hng, haa! It feels so goooood!]
[Because I'm such a lewd bitch… I'm sorrry… Hwaaang!]
[Right, Min! Hng, ah! It feels so goooood!]
Ah, right, she was a virgin. Fuck, that's hot.
I got fully erect the moment I watched the video. Somehow, I'd really done something this crazy in reality.
Her enormous breasts swayed every time my cock plunged into her, and the moans she couldn't hold back were just as obscene as porn.
[Hah… ngh, ngh! Haa… ahh… Cum for meee…]
[Just like this… Cum inside meee!]
Holy shit! I'd even come inside her?
The me in the video had not only ejaculated into Lee Hyun-ah's virgin pussy, but had also demanded that she squeeze it herself.
I was a true fiend, a monster insane with lust.
…Still, if we both enjoyed it, that's all that matters, right? She didn't seem to hate it at all.
Even if this video were submitted as evidence, a judge would recognize it as consensual sex rather than rape.
Right, then that's fine. Besides, as long as I kept my mouth shut, no one would ever know.
I'd used healing and purification to make it seem as though nothing had happened… I hadn't been caught.
That's why she was messaging me so familiarly.
[I was thinking of treating you to a meal today…]
[(Cat glancing over emoticon)]
[Are you… free?]
[Uuugh! I'll keep waiting until you answer me!]
[(Cat with teary eyes emoticon)]
Haa… But were we really this close before?
No matter how I thought about it, we hadn't been this close.
Had I gone overboard with my aftercare…?
In reality, yesterday was the day I'd taken Lee Hyun-ah's virginity.
After fucking her, I'd used healing and purification on her, tidied up her house, bought her a hangover drink, cooked her a hangover meal, and sent her a message asking if she was all right… I had taken unusually good care of her.
But would that really make her change this much?
Lee Hyun-ah had always been a little pushy, but she had kept her distance, probably because she had a boyfriend.
But now she was crossing the line by a lot. It was almost as if she were hitting on me… Wait, what? Had she broken up overnight?
…Nah, that couldn't be it. Maybe it was just her way of showing gratitude? She liked taking care of people, after all. That seemed more likely.
[Sorry, I'm kind of sick right now. I don't have the energy to deal with anything, so I'm going to lie down all day. Let's eat together next time.]
[Gasp! What should I do?!]
[(Cat with teary eyes emoticon)]
[Did you get sick because you went out of your way to take care of me?]
[(Worried cat emoticon)]
[It's absolutely not that. Absolutely not… I'm having a hard time and can't even text right now. I'll contact you tomorrow after I see how things are.]
[Ah! O-okay! I'll wait for your message!]
[If you need anything, you have to contact me!!]
[(Cat cheering emoticon)]
Hah… I'm exhausted. Making up such a ridiculous excuse drained me completely.
A healer who proudly claimed he could heal himself is too sick to even text? Anyone could tell it was a lie, yet she was genuinely worried about me.
I was grateful, but I was also worried that she'd end up cosigning a loan for me or something.
Or was she pretending not to know, even though she'd figured it out? Hmm… Just in case, I'd better prepare another excuse.

After finishing my conversation with Lee Hyun-ah, I cooked ramen for the first time in ages.
I'd craved this cheap food so badly while I was in the romance-fantasy world… No matter how closely I recreated it, I couldn't reproduce ramen's distinctive MSG flavor.
Krrrgh… Now this is broth. Thanks to my cooking skill, which had risen as high as it could go, the taste was a work of art too.
I polished off the bowl in an instant, then washed the dishes and finally brought up the concern I'd been putting off.
Cecilia loves me. Cecilia is my daughter, and my daughter loves me.
Incest and reverse grooming. A genre I like.
When I learned that the daughter-raising game had a route where you could end up with her father, how many nights had I stayed up trying to see the father ending?
The sense of transgression from a forbidden love that should never happen had always thrilled me.
But… experiencing it firsthand was different.
Though it was only a ‘setting,’ I had treated her solely as my daughter, without a single ulterior motive.
That was why I had absolutely no idea how I should treat Cecilia from now on.
Phew…
At times like this, collective intelligence was the answer.
After finishing the dishes, I turned on my computer and logged onto the Awakened community.
Then I wrote a post on the anonymous board.
[Title: Can I get some relationship advice? There's a girl who likes me, but I've never thought of her as a woman, so I'm conflicted.]
[Content: She was ridiculously attached to me, but I never imagined she saw me as a man. So I'm shocked right now.]
I couldn't bring myself to mention that she was my daughter. Obviously, everyone would treat it as troll bait.
Instead, I softened the details a little and posted it. By the time I had made myself a cup of coffee, several comments had appeared.
[Recommend me a light novel with a premise like this.]
[Your delusions are fucking intense. Did you think people would be jealous if you posted this shit here? Yeah, no~]
[ㄴ Why's this guy so worked up? That's perfectly normal stuff to experience, isn't it?]
[ㄴ Yeah; Awakened people get a premium, so women flock to you lol]
[But what if the woman turns out to be on Choi Won-mi's level? lol]
[ㄴ Fuck lol Then I admit it. If Choi Won-mi liked me, I'd really feel like puking.]
[ㄴ Fuck, is an A-rank Hunter your friend? Keep your distance and call her Teacher Choi Won-mi, or she'll eat you alive.]
[ㄴ Oof, lolololol]
[I'll give you some advice, bro. This kind of thing is fucking simple.]
[Imagine her having sex with another guy. Would it piss you off? Then date her. Wouldn't piss you off? Then use her and dump her.]
[ㄴ What a piece of trash;]
[ㄴ Welcome, Korean male scumbag.]
[But he isn't wrong. If it pisses you off to think of her banging another guy, that means you have feelings for her.]
[ㄴ Isn't that a case of not wanting her but not wanting anyone else to have her?]
[ㄴ But if it were me, I'd still fuck her.]
[ㄴ Welcome, Korean male scumbag 2222]
[ㄴ No, you brainless bitch, you're saying you'd eat the chicken rib!]
[Fuuuck, was everyone here a social butterfly except me? This fucking sucks… I'm getting really depressed.]
[ㄴ Seriously… what's with this sense of deprivation? This fucking sucks…]
[I reported the asshole who made the post.]
[ㄴ What did you report him for?]
[ㄴ Terrorism, you fucker.]
[ㄴ Lololololol]
Hmm… It was as head-spinning as expected. As always, it was a cauldron of chaos.
Still, there were some helpful comments. Imagine her having sex with another man, huh?
“Fuck!”
Ugh, I got chills. That fucked-up feeling rose from below and filled every single one of my cells.
I thought of her as my daughter? That meant I'd eventually marry her off… Fuck, was I insane?
Give Cecilia to some other bastard? That girl who only had eyes for me?
Absolutely not.
I didn't even want to imagine such a horrible future.
I'd keep her by my side for the rest of her life.
Only now did my feelings finally fall into place.
Besides, this wasn't reality anyway, was it? What had I been so reluctant about?
I had raised her like a daughter, but she wasn't actually my daughter…
They say you start out as Dad, then become Oppa, and finally Darling.
I had no reason whatsoever to reject Cecilia.
Phew… Once one concern was resolved, all the related concerns naturally fell into place too.
The romance-fantasy world wasn't even monogamous. I'd been thinking about it far too realistically.
How could I pursue netori after accepting Cecilia's feelings?
I could just make Cecilia my primary wife and keep Luina as my concubine.
If I told Cecilia I planned to seduce Luina to appease public opinion, kind-hearted Cecilia would help me rather than interfere.
Besides, she'd give up her plan to take Luina's body, too.
Haha… I can't believe it took me this long to realize something so simple. Collective intelligence really was amazing.
As a token of my gratitude, I uploaded a lewd picture.
