ALL NOVEL chapter 1
Sometimes, impossible things happen
【Everything was taken from me】
Do you know a game with such a title?
Some might guess from the name, but this game is what you’d call an adu< ero*tic game.
It’s a story centered around an ordinary protagonist, where the women around him are each taken by different men in a scenario that’s hard to describe, catering to a certain masochistic audience.
In a normal game, having one heroine in this kind of scenario would be typical, but in this game, there are a whopping five heroines.
Childhood friend, little sister, underclassman, upperclassman, mother… It’s a lineup that aims at various types of characters.
The beginning shows scenes where the relationships with the heroines seem good and happy, but then gradually, dark clouds gather, and the expected development of being cuc*kolded boldly unfolds.
The beautiful illustrations, the performances of famous voice actors, and the sight of the beautiful women falling disgracefully garnered considerable popularity, even becoming a hot topic on social media for a while.
Especially the scene where the main heroine, the childhood friend, Ayana Otonashi, falls, reportedly broke the hearts of many players.
The reason for this seems to lie in the scarcity of Ayana’s intimate scenes compared to the other heroines.
She only has one such scene.
While the other heroines are being cuc*kolded, Ayana remains by the protagonist’s side without any such scenes at all.
Ayana is depicted at the center of the package, a classic position for a childhood friend to be taken first in a cuc*kold story, yet her scenario doesn’t contain even a trace of that.
Could it be that Ayana was not a heroine from the start, or perhaps she was a character added as a twist in the cuc*kold genre? Players must have had such thoughts.
However, such thoughts naturally vanish as the story progresses towards the end.
Despite having only one intimate scene, Ayana had already completely fallen. Moreover, it was to a man who was not only a close friend since childhood but also someone who made her lunches, accompanied her to and from school, and was always there for her.
She was a girl with whom the protagonist shared good times on weekends, and a girl he was in love with, contemplating when to confess his feelings.
To discover that the girl he loved was already someone else’s… one can easily imagine the protagonist’s feelings at that moment.
As the girls around him disappear, and just as his mental state is crumbling from being shown the debauched figure of a fallen girl, Ayana’s figure is portrayed in such a state, leading the game to an ending that offers no solace to the protagonist, leaving him and many players heartbroken.
While being a common genre of cuc*kold stories, with no depiction of the fall until the very end, the beautiful childhood friend who ultimately gets stolen… Oddly enough, this one-time heroine managed to achieve the remarkable feat of winning first place in a popularity poll, which further boosted the unexpected popularity of the character Ayana Otonashi, to the extent that even artists unrelated to ero^tic games began drawing her.
“…Phew.”
Though I had no one to speak to, I let out a sigh in my mind after finishing my monologue.
I am currently on my way to school, waiting for a certain pair of individuals.
As I idly played with my smartphone to pass the time, I saw a couple approaching from a distance.
Upon spotting me, the two hurried over.
As they drew close enough for me to reach out and touch, they spoke.
“Sorry to keep you waiting.”
The first to speak was the timid-looking boy, Shu Sasaki. And—
“You’re late. Sorry, Towa-kun.”
The next to speak was a beautiful girl.
Her long black hair fluttered in the wind, and her gentle gaze reflected my presence straight on.
The ample curves that were evident even through her clothes attracted the attention of men passing by… I hate to say it, but standing next to the boy, she was overwhelmingly more beautiful.
Her name was Ayana Otonashi, yes, the same Ayana Otonashi from earlier.
What a surprise, her name and appearance are the same as the heroine from the ero&tic game I just talked about… Well, you can probably guess the rest.
Yes, before I knew it, I was reincarnated… or should I say, possessed.
Some time ago, when I woke up in the morning, I found myself in this body.
Naturally, I was confused at that moment, but the confusion quickly subsided.
Even though I should have panicked and been at a loss, strangely, I had accepted my current situation.
It was somewhat frightening, but it had almost ceased to bother me.
It felt as if it were the will of the world itself, but I had no way of knowing that.
Although I had become a completely different person, daily life was not a problem, and somehow, I understood how the person in this body lived, so I was able to adapt in the truest sense.
And I understood that this world was one where “I had everything taken from me,” and I couldn’t help but understand who I was.
“Shall we go, Towa-kun?”
“…Ah.”
At Ayana’s words, I started to move my feet.
The name Towa that Ayana mentioned, that is my current name.
In this world of an ero*tic game, Ayana is the heroine, and Sasaki Osamu is the protagonist. And I, Yukishiro Towa, am Osamu’s best friend, and the most crucial thing is…
“What’s wrong?”
“Is something the matter? Is there something on my face?”
Because I stared at Ayana’s face, she gave me a puzzled look. I reassured her that everything was fine and tried to head to school a bit quickly.
Yes, Yukishiro Towa.
He is the man who steals away Ayana, the beloved of the protagonist, Osamu.
How did things end up this way?
God, whether it’s reincarnation or possession, why isn’t this the usual different world with swords and magic? Why, out of all genres, am I the other man in a netorare game?
“Towa-kun! Don’t leave me behind! Come on, let’s go together.”
Saying so, Ayana gently took my hand.
You’re just like that, huh. Just as I was about to say that, I saw Osamu looking at me with an indescribable expression. It was the moment I realized that this body was indeed Yukishiro Towa.
I don’t have a hobby of being a home-wrecker.
I have no intention of doing anything unwanted by Ayana, and there’s no need to unnecessarily trouble Osamu, who is also my best friend. The scenario starts moving when we reach our third year of high school. We still have about a year until then. As long as we don’t do anything strange during that time, everything should be fine… I don’t know about the other heroines, though.
“…hahahaha.”
Ayana seemed to be in a good mood as she looked at my face… Thinking back, that’s one question that has been lingering in my mind.
Why is Ayana so close to me during this period? Since I have no memories of the past, that remains the only question. I hope to find out one day, thinking so, we head towards the school we attend.
“Towa seems lost in thought, so let’s go ahead, Ayana.”
“Oh! Wait up, Osamu-kun!”
Perhaps because I was walking a bit slowly, or maybe forcibly, Osamu grabbed Ayana’s hand and ran ahead. Left behind, I leisurely watched the two of them and thought about how it’s youth.
“…Did I mishear that?”
In a moment when Osamu tried to hold Ayana’s hand and run, I felt like Ayana clicked her tongue… Well, it must be my imagination. She’s also considered the class idol at school, and with her looks and personality, Ayana is said to be like a goddess. There’s no way someone like Ayana would click her tongue.
“W-Well, I should get going too.”
Adjusting my bag on my shoulder, I also start running to catch up with the two.
