This Eroge Won't Make Me Fall!



I usually slept back in my room, which was also Lethe's room.

"Wake up," she said. I groaned and pulled her closer yet, tightening my grip around her.

"I haven't slept for a thousand years, my head hurts when I am awake."

Lethe suppressed a yawn, she wore a veil even when she slept.

"Let go of me then, I've been sleeping too long."

"I haven't seen you for a thousand years, my heart hurts when you are away."

A sigh left her.

"What am I going to do with you?"

She turned over on her side to face me and wrapped her hands around me just as I had mine around her. The aroma of her hair filled my nose, how did she smell so good?

"How did you sleep long anyway?" I asked. "We went to sleep just a while back."

"You didn't let me sleep all of the night before, so I took the entire day yesterday."

A blush spread over my face.

"Sorry."

"I enjoyed it."

Her every word affected me just as much today as they did all those years ago. How she was always this alluring will forever remain a mystery to me.

"Let go of me now though, my back hurts."

Hm…

I loosened my grip on her and Lethe sat up. She slid off from under the duvet and picked up the robe on the side of the bed, draping it over her.

How beautiful. Her every movement was enchanting.

It looked even prettier to me.

The thought of getting rid of her curse entered my mind, but it seemed impossible to do so without harming her.

Maybe with the knowledge of all the worlds that were now connected, I might be able to find a cure, but I was not keen on it.

Simply because she wasn't.

My curse of being unable to see was not going anywhere either, it seemed to have eased Lethe even more. The Acacia's ability to sap strength from their enemies' shadows only extended so far.

In more ways than one, she did have it as an ultimate move.

Lethe walked to the washroom as I flipped over on the bed.

Marriage…

I had already proposed to her and she had accepted it as well. I wanted to get married as soon as possible. But…

The words of everyone entered my mind. Almost everyone was deeply worried about next month, and I was too.

I had promised to come back when asked to… but…

"Hm? You're waking up to?"

Lethe returned after splashing her face and changing her veil. I sat up myself and slid off the bed too.

I had already passed that thing around, everything was ready…

I guess the good news I was going to give the receptionist had to be delayed slightly.

"Say, Lethe," I spoke, putting on the robe and reaching into the drawers on the desk next to the bed.

"What is it?"

I grabbed the box I had received and took it over to Lethe. She looked down at it when I handed it to her.

"Keep this with you."

"What is this?"

"When I come back…" I said. "Open it then."

Lethe smirked.

"Is it a promise to yourself?"

"And to you," I said. "Let's get married when I get back."

Lethe nodded. "Will we live here?"

"Where do you want to?"

"Maybe somewhere quiet? Then we can go tour the world."

"Worlds now."

It sounded fun. Doing anything with Lethe sounded fun.

I gently pushed her veil aside and kissed her.

We had made a promise to learn about each other many years back.

This was… just another step in that.

***

The days passed by rather quickly.

Those mundane days that lasted a month may as well have been the most eventful days.

The members of the Acacia family visited me once, another time came my sister along with my parents from Earth.

There was a lot of hurt involved in the situation with my parents. In the end, Lethe, the only other person who knew everything, and I decided to not tell them I had lived as Yu Jin Han. If I did, I would have had to lie.

Since no matter how I twisted it, I was not Yu Jin Han but just someone who replaced him. Even mentioning it was leading them to a world of hurt.

"If you were my child, I wouldn't have wanted to know."

Those words convinced me enough. Maybe, even if it was wrong, hiding the truth or lying was the best way to go about things.

The visitors were a plenty, adventurers came around from all over the world, including the receptionist and the Manager. It seemed Kaiser and Cosmos were finally getting together.

The Death Queen was lonely and tried to hit on me, but was scared when she saw my eyes.

The Emperor visited too, and dropped off Luka and gang here. The Demon Lords, Bael and Lucifuge, Gramps, all of them came around.

I had already sent word to all of them along with the box, so most of them were waiting for news from me which had to be delayed.

Before I knew it, the time to leave had come.

The night before we were to set to the World Tree, Luka, Albert, I and Titania sat together in a room.

"Titania, break off the contract."

Titania, who was playing around with her slaves, stopped and turned to me.

"What?"

"The contract that binds our lives, break it off."

Titania's jaw dropped.

"Hey, Eugy? What are you saying? Didn't you say you are confident you'll win, so why are you chickening now?"

"Miss Titania," Albert intervened in the conversation.

Titania was slightly annoyed and turned toward Albert.

"This doesn't concern you—"

"I read his thoughts."

All of them quietened down. It wasn't a surprise for me, but it must have been for them.

"What does that mean?" Asked Luka. "You can read thoughts?"

"I stole the other Outer Gods concept too. I have two now."

Luka clasped his lips. The one that Albert had fought could see through the minds of everyone, and Albert had done just that.

"Eugene…" he turned to me and frowned, resting his cheeks on his arm. "You are one fucking bastard, you know that?"

"Haha!"

"Don't fucking laugh you dog. I can't believe my own thoughts. It's all thanks to your concept of sealing, but the moment the seal is undone…"

"Hahahaha!" I kicked back and laughed at his words. That was truly how it was.

"Fucker…"

"Titania, please. I am still sure that I will win. But I don't think you or this contract can handle it."

"I would have linked your souls so the effect remained, Miss Titania," Albert was giving perfect support. "But even that is too risky."

Titania grumbled.

"What are you guys on about…"

"Partner. Don't you trust me?"

"That's unfair…"

Titania stretched her hand ahead and I followed.

A sigh left her.

"I'll break it off, but we're making it again when you come back."

I nodded. It wasn't like I was gonna die.

"You are going to come back."

"Aye, enough of that. Of course I am!"

My partnership with the Evil Queen ended there temporarily.

With that out of the way, we decided to drink the last of the nights away.

And by next morning…

"All of you are here… Now then."

"Let's enter the World of the Outer Gods."
