Side Story Chapter 18 – It’s Nice That There’s No ■■ Here!!!

Whew, it was so refreshing.

The issue of lifespan that once gnawed at my heart.

I could finally resolve it today.

Looking back, it felt like an overwhelming amount of coincidences piled up.

A conundrum that I couldn’t solve even with regression.

Who would’ve thought the key to that problem lay in the choices I made before?

The impulsive and selfish desire to save the Piece.

I felt a bit uneasy letting the boundary between humans and gods collapse.

Yet, it ended up working in my favor, so in the end, that choice was indeed the right one.

Just thinking about what would’ve happened if I hadn’t made that choice made me shiver.

Anyway, everything turned out well, and I was truly thankful.

However, I still didn’t feel any specific changes in my body.

After all, lifespan isn’t something a mere human can perceive.

Just in case my wish hadn’t been fulfilled, I immediately voiced my question.

Now that I was somewhat calmed down, I gradually exhaled towards the god.

“But, has my lifespan issue really been resolved?”

【Of course. It has been resolved at this point.】

Well, hearing a prompt answer seemed to indicate that it was indeed solved.

However, I wasn’t sure how it was resolved.

Did it simply mean my lifespan was returned to its original state?

Or did the god grant me all the greed I had shown?

Perhaps sensing my inner questions, the god suddenly spoke in a calm voice.

【You will continue to live without ailments until you make your decision together.】

“…….Isn’t that a bit excessive…?”

It had been resolved even better than I had hoped.

I would’ve been satisfied just living longer.

And now I had the blessing of living without illness as well.

Considering that, it felt like I got a sweet deal for offering my memories.

【It’s the remaining payment for the memories you sacrificed.】

“Thank you. Should I give you more this time?”

I thought about offering more memories out of guilt.

【Declined.】

“……Okay.”

The god’s immediate rejection made me decide not to give more.

Just then, the heroines, somewhat composed, approached me.

The god seemed like it had no more tasks to do and slumped down against the wall.

Now it was truly time to leave.

“Shinwoo, let’s go.”

“Yeah.”

To the [Healing Succubus South Korea Branch 3] filled with gods.

“First, to the hotel.”

“Ah, fck*.”

It wasn’t that we were leaving right away.

“Now that I won’t die, I guess I can be squeezed dry without worry!”

“Perfect timing, my dear was looking for an opportunity today.”

“Be a man and let yourself be gently ravaged.”

Now that I looked, the heroines seemed to have a slightly deranged look in their eyes.

Each one of them had squirming desires bubbling up.

As they leered at me, each licking their lips.

It seemed very difficult to hold back any longer.

Well, here, I decided to put aside everything else and surrender myself to them.

‘……But I won’t fall into the corruption of females, right…?’

[Once you step up a level, calling it female advancement would be correct.]

‘Let’s not talk about that, fck*.’

Anyway, it was a very pleasant day where it was still okay to feel good.

I could happily live with them for a long time.

And in such a life, nobody would fall ill.

Above all, my mind was so clear, making me happy.

No matter how accustomed I had become, it was never easy to accept.

Too many nightmares for one human to bear.

And none of those tormented thoughts lingered in my mind anymore.

Today, the saying that forgetting is a blessing resonated strongly with me.

Now, I would live a new life with a clean mind after completely washing my past.

As that thought crossed my mind, I couldn’t help but laugh loudly as I was being pulled along.

“I’m so glad there’s no incest, bestiality, gay stuff, furry, fetishes, or grandma in my head!!!!!!”

In that moment, the heroines suddenly froze in place.

And simultaneously, immense pressure began to weigh down on my body.

It felt like my body could explode at any moment.

Curiously, when I slowly lowered my gaze, I saw Hyeji tightly enveloping me.

She gripped me so hard that veins were bulging on her arms.

“Shinwoo.”

“……Hyeji…?”

The moment I heard Hyeji’s words, my body suddenly started to tremble.

Was it because her voice sent chills down my spine?

Or was it that being wrapped up was so painfully serious?

Or did I instinctively feel an unknown danger?

Honestly, I didn’t know which it was.

But the light had vanished from Hyeji’s eyes.

And the moment I saw her tearing grin, I realized.

“Why didn’t you just stay still, you dog.”

I was screwed.

I tried to quickly speak to Hyeji in response to her words.

But as soon as my mouth opened, it wasn’t an explanation that came out.

It was a cry close to begging instead.

“Don’t, don’t let it out! Something’s trying to surface!”

“I’m telling it to surface!”

Strange sounds came from the mobile phone that Elcia brought close to my ear.

Crazy talk about a grandfather, father, and husband all in one.

An informal discussion comparing the genitals of a grandchild and grandfather.

It was the nonsense I had heard from elves in the Forest of Elves.

“When did you record this!!!”

“I made it for exposing the elves!”

Thanks to that, a part of my empty memory filled up.

The fog lifted, and sunlight shone down.

Revealing that sht* scene I had forgotten about.

Just listening to it felt like I was about to lose my sanity.

“Don’t show me! I was finally able to live a normal life!!!”

“Why do you think you can run away alone?”

But fck*, Ayeon was visually showing it through a photo.

Scenes of hunters using condoms with hamsters.

Or crying like bears while actually being with a bear.

She probably gathered materials in advance through the succubi.

Thanks to that, even the horrible scenes I hadn’t seen were deeply etched into my mind.

“There’s no need to show this to my husband!!!”

“Couples are fated partners. Accept it.”

As if this was where they were supposed to be.

However, I could still tolerate it up to this point.

After all, it was just a still image.

Besides, the darkness made it not that clear either.

“Crazy cat!!!!”

“Did you call for me?”

But the moment Caressy showed a vivid video, I couldn’t endure it anymore.

Not just one, but two kinds.

The clarity of the visuals and sounds was overwhelming.

One side of my vision captured the horrifying scenes from the Beastman Kingdom.

With furry gays intertwining, suckling and rolling around.

Transforming into a monstrous centipede slithering wildly.

And on the other side was the scene of the chief of the academy raping a monster.

In the video, the monster writhed in pain while sobbing and crying out in agony.

Amidst those cries, the chief’s rough moans resonated prominently.

It felt like I was losing my mind.

Even though it was an extremely brutal video that could be deleted immediately.

What on earth was this btch* Caressy doing with such footage?

Maybe it was understandable for the academy case, but…

Furry gays were a blatant blemish in the history of the Beastman Kingdom.

“That kind of bullsht* dark history should be buried forever!!!”

“Those who forget history have no future, you know.”

“My future is already disappearing, you btch*!!!”

She even forcibly pulled my eyelids up so that I couldn’t shut my eyes.

Experiencing even one of these was dangerous, and I was subjected to four in a row.

Familiar yet unfamiliar sights were clouding my mind.

Yet, the more I experienced, the clearer those erased memories came back to me.

Liquid, whether it was blood or tears, flowed down from my eyes.

As I twisted my body, yearning for freedom.

[Everyone, that should be enough. Step back.]

With those words from Piece, I finally found freedom in my body.

Probably as soon as I heard that, Hyeji loosened her grip.

And hearing the footsteps move away, I realized.

They had distanced themselves from me.

Of course, even though I was freed, I couldn’t move at all.

My head was pounding like I had been hit hard.

My whole body trembled uncontrollably against my will.

And I was so weak that I couldn’t even close my mouth properly, drooling everywhere.

That memory was far too dangerous for a human.

Yet somehow, I managed to survive.

“……..I thought I was going to die—”

[Now it’s time to die, after all.]

I was dead.

At some point, Piece had shown it to me only on my mobile phone.

The abyss that should never have existed, completely carved out of my mind moments ago.

Despite being the first time seeing it, that nightmare felt eerily familiar and grotesque.

Now it was so shocking that I couldn’t even utter a word in response.

As if I had forgotten how to speak as a price for regaining those memories.

Before entirely losing the concept of language, I squeezed out words sporadically.

“……..W-why… does this even exist… in the world…?”

[As you said, this shouldn’t exist.]

Clinging desperately to my sanity, which was rapidly sinking into the abyss.

“…….But… why… me…?”

[But this body knows, so shouldn’t you know as well?]

“Fck… you btch…”

Thanks to that, I regained all the memories I had sacrificed.

Struggling to move my head, I directed my gaze at the god.

I barely managed to part my lips and wanted to offer my payments once again.

Trash goes in the trash can, and memories to the god.

In that moment, the god, leaning against the wall, suddenly spoke.

【There seems to be this saying in your memories.】

A featureless, large-eyed black face with no expression at all.

But for some reason, it looked like it was smiling at me this time.

It was a rather blatant sneer that a moron might show.

With a hint of mockery in its words, it raised its thumb suddenly.

【If it’s only for me not to see, it’s bum trash.】

Then the heroines began to smirk at one another.

Raising their thumbs toward the sky.

That was the final image etched into my consciousness just before it vanished.

A story of beautiful recovery where I regained everything lost.

But the slight drawback was that I had regained my injuries.
