I Reincarnated as Just a Mob in an Eroge World, but the Heroines Are Swarming Me - Episode 38
Episode 38
After enjoying Yoshiko-san’s dinner, we each relaxed our bodies in the large public bath.
After the bath. When we returned to the room, there were already fluffy futons laid out neatly. It seemed that Yoshiko-san had prepared everything efficiently, and they looked very comfortable. There were a total of four futons lined up: one for me, one for Seraph, one for Luminous, and one for Kirizaki. Yoshiko-san and Martha-san were supposed to go back to their respective homes. Kirizaki also had a family home, but it looked like she would stay here tonight.
Still… we were all in the same room. Well, there wasn’t enough space in the other rooms, so I guess it couldn’t be helped, but… is this really okay?
As I was looking at the futons, Luminous glanced at me with a slightly nervous expression.
“What’s wrong, Luminous?”
Wondering about it, I asked. Luminous averted her gaze a little as she answered.
“It’s, um, nothing… It’s just that, you know… I’m not used to staying in the same room with everyone…”
Luminous murmured that. Seraph, with her teasing smile, provoked her by saying,
“Could it be that you’re concerned about something? Luminous-san, maybe…?”
“N-No, I told you it’s nothing! Don’t say weird things, Seraph!”
“Fufu, is that so? Since you’re in the same room as Takigawa-san, I thought maybe you were feeling a little excited… but I guess not.”
“W-Why would I feel excited about being with Takigawa? That’s not true!”
Hmph, Luminous turned her face away slightly, her cheeks a little flushed.
…This reaction from Luminous is definitely a sign that her favorability is high.
Seraph had also been observing Luminous’ behavior when an unexpected voice piped up.
“I’m feeling excited.”
“…Huh? You, Kirisaki-san?”
Seraph seemed a bit surprised, clearly not expecting this.
I felt the same way. Kirisaki’s character usually doesn’t care about the opposite s3x unless her favorability is high.
When I looked over at Kirisaki, she met my gaze with a heated look.
“…What if I’m invited to a duel in the middle of the night? I have to be prepared.”
“I wouldn’t invite you, you idiot.”
“Really…?”
“Yeah, really.”
“…..I see.”
Why does she look a little lonely?
“Since tomorrow is early, I’m going to bed soon… but should we go check out the hallway?”
“I-I’m fine…! I don’t care at all!”
…She seems to be overly conscious about it.
Luminous doesn’t show it on the surface, but she’s actually quite the daydreamer.
When similar situations arose in the game, she would think things like, “Ah, no! I’m not wearing my lucky underwear today, what if something happens!?” and other wild thoughts.
Right now, she keeps glancing over here and her face is getting redder; she’s likely lost in her fantasies.
“Hey, Luminous…”
“W-What is it!? I-I mean, isn’t it fine not to talk about kids’ names yet!?”
Hey. How far is she going with this?
“What are you talking about? I’m going to turn off the lights now; is that okay?”
“Eh? I-I can’t see anything all of a sudden!?”
“…Come back.”
…Luminous is hopeless.
It seems that just talking to her might make her spiral, so I decided to leave her be.
I turned off the lights, and we all lay down in our futons, and I closed my eyes.
I intended to sleep right away, but… as soon as I closed my eyes, my other senses became sharper.
That’s when I noticed the soft scent of shampoo and soap wafting through the room… no, it’s not just that. There’s something else mixed in. The warmth of the futon pressed against my skin, along with something… sweet and soft that tickled my nose.
—Is this… Seraph? No, Luminous? Or perhaps… Kirisaki?
My mind boiled over with excitement. It felt like the floral scent emanating from Seraph’s angelic and pristine appearance was floating around. Luminous also had a hint of sweetness in her scent. Or could this be Kirisaki’s?
…In the game itself, I had ignored things like smells. But now it’s different.
This sensation that can be experienced in reality. The faint yet undeniably present scents wafting from them. This is something… that can never be experienced just by playing a game.
I let out a small noise and involuntarily took a deep breath. It felt as if the air mixed with their body heat was seeping into my lungs. This is a tangible sensation that can never be felt in a game. So this is… “smell”…!
I’m not really a scent enthusiast, but… I’m shocked to be affected this much.
The ultimate fragrances that couldn’t be felt in a game are all converging here now. It’s like the world championship of competing for the best scents is in full swing.
As I seriously pondered about the outcome of this competition… I could already hear everyone’s soft breaths.
……It seems everyone has already fallen asleep. In fact, when I looked at my phone, I realized I had been indulging in the scents for about an hour.
……Guess I should sleep too.
Just as I thought that, a scent approached.
When I turned my gaze in that direction, my eyes were already accustomed to the darkness. I caught sight of Seraph.
She stared at my futon for a moment before wriggling her way into it.
“…Seraph?”
When I asked in a small voice, Seraph flinched slightly and raised her shoulders.
