Chapter 4-5 – Memory – 2
I had a dream.
[■Hey! ■■■─]
A dream containing a person's life.
[Ah■■ ■even ■■■!]
A long dream.
[You like■■ ■■■■─]
…
…
After immense pain struck my brain, I gasped.
"Haa… haa…"
I could vaguely regain consciousness after a bizarre experience where the cement-colored ground seemed to undulate.
"Ugh!"
Correction. I didn't fully regain consciousness. I could only move my body. My stomach was feeling terrible.
Fortunately, it seemed Takuya hadn't eaten anything before I possessed him, as I only dry-heaved a few times.
I managed to come to my senses soon after.
"Ughh…"
Anyway, I came to my senses. After regaining my senses, I figured out why I had collapsed.
The reason was obviously the [Takuya's Memories] I had received as a reward.
'Since what I saw in the first place was also about Takuya.'
The memories I experienced when I fainted were all about Takuya's life, up until the moment I possessed him.
Thanks to that, I learned Takuya's home address, so I guess I should be thankful. Or maybe…
'Should I curse the fact that I was possessed into such a messed-up family?'
Based on the memories, it seemed Takuya hadn't lived an ordinary life either. Not as unusual as mine, though.
"Hoo. I don't know; I'll have to go and see."
Thinking that, I pressed the exit button in the corner of the screen I had seen earlier. Unless it was a life-ending button, it was easy to figure out what it was.
As I turned off the screen,
Caw—caw—caw—
"What's wrong, Takuya? Why did you suddenly stop?"
The world started moving again.
I was momentarily stunned by the wondrous sight but then snapped back to reality at Sota's questioning tone.
"It's nothing. More importantly, let's hurry and go play at the empty lot."
"Okay!"
At my words, Sota grabbed my arm and ran. I was surprised by how fast he was, but soon we arrived at the empty lot near our houses.
Sota was not even out of breath. He smiled brightly and said, "We're here! Let's play, Takuya!"
"Yeah…"
I wasn't particularly tired either, but he didn't seem tired at all, even after running so fast.
Looking at him, I felt a vitality I hadn't felt in my pre-possession self, who was already old and starting to rot.
'He's really amazing.'
'Is this the dignity of the male lead? Even in an NTR game.'
I didn't get tired. Or rather, I was tired, but the desire to keep playing kept my body moving.
While internally realizing the horror of my rejuvenated body, Sota, who had just finished our fifth game of tag and was taking a break, said, "Come to think of it, Takuya. Did you hear that they're holding a big tournament in the next neighborhood?"
"What? A tournament?"
"Yeah! They said it's some kind of game tournament?"
A game tournament?
As I looked puzzled, Sota continued to explain.
"I think they said it's some kind of fighting game?"
"What, a fighting game?"
Fighting games, or "fighters" for short, were a traditional genre that had been around for a long time.
Humans naturally feel intense joy from watching others fight. And fighting games were designed to maximize this stimulation.
'I used to play them a lot too.'
I had also played these games and had even climbed to a relatively high level before hitting a wall and giving up.
I thought about fighting games for a moment, then wondered why such an event was happening. I remembered another characteristic of the Lewd Mama series.
'Come to think of it, Lewd Mama had several mini-games, right?'
That's right, the mini-games inserted into the main game.
Strangely enough, the Lewd Mama series had quite a few mini-games.
According to what I saw on YouTube, the series was heavily criticized for lacking gameplay before. So, it seemed they had tried to incorporate gameplay into Lewd Mama, which explained the abundance of mini-games.
There were so many that there were even jokes about people playing the game not to get off but to play the mini-games.
Each game didn't give much money, but clearing all the mini-games could earn a decent amount.
This was useful information, thanks to Sota.
"Thanks."
Sota, not understanding my gratitude, just looked at me with a puzzled expression.
"Huh? For what?"
"It's nothing. Since we're talking about it, should we go to the tournament together?"
"Really?!"
"Yeah. Let's practice together while we're at it."
At my words, his face brightened, and he grabbed my hand, saying, "Then, let's practice at my house together!"
"At your house?"
Sota nodded.
"Yeah! We have the series they're using in the tournament at my house. Plus, my mom said she'd make something delicious for you when you come next time, Takuya."
"Really?"
My eyes lit up at those words.
I was already thinking about how to advance my relationship with Miyuki, and this was perfect. I'd use this as an excuse to move things forward.
'Thanks to my experience playing Lewd Mama, I know exactly how to capture her.'
In the first place, capturing Miyuki wasn't that difficult.
The story of Lewd Mama wasn't about the events leading up to the capture, but rather what happened afterward.
I nodded at Sota's words and said, "Then, let's go! Can I come this Sunday?"
"Okay, then I'll tell my mom that you're coming on Sunday! You have to come!"
At his words, I hid my burning desire behind a bright smile and said, "Of course."
'I have to bang your mom.'
I swallowed the rest of my words and chatted with him for a while before we parted ways.
…
…
Step. Step. Step.
After talking with Sota for a while, I parted ways with him, and now I was extremely nervous.
It was inevitable. Looking at the nameplate of the two-story detached house in front of me, it was obvious.
[Mori Family]
To be precise, Takuya's last name was Mori.
I had arrived in front of the house where Takuya lived. I had already seen his family in Takuya's memories, but I couldn't help feeling nervous.
From the moment I possessed this body to the moment I realized it had parents, I had been feeling guilty. That's because, in a way, I had stolen his body. Even I felt guilty about taking a son away from their parents.
What about taking Miyuki? A woman with that kind of body was a crime to leave alone. Anyway, that was why I felt guilty.
'But what could I do? It wasn't like I possessed him on my own will, and I couldn't give Takuya's body back.'
So, instead of dwelling on guilt, I decided to think of it as the karma of a guy who stole someone else's mom.
It was a trashy thought, but it helped my mental health.
I took a deep breath and tried to relax.
'Hoo… calm down, calm down. It's not like I came here to commit a crime.'
I brainwashed myself like that and opened the door, entering the entrance.
-Click.
The door opened too easily.
For some reason, it wasn't a metal door or a wooden door with a key, but one that simply opened when pushed.
I was momentarily flustered by how easily it opened.
As I entered the house, I was hit by a strange but familiar smell of food from the kitchen and the boisterous laughter of comedians from the television in the living room.
I spoke in a voice that was neither too small nor too loud.
"I'm home."
At my voice, I heard someone coming out from the kitchen and living room.
The first person to come out from the kitchen was a busty woman. She seemed tall for a Japanese person. She was radiating maternal love and kindness from her whole body.
She came out of the kitchen wearing an apron and holding a ladle. She greeted me with a kind smile.
"Oh, welcome home."
"I'm home, Mom."
Her name was Mori Ayaka.
Just as I was about to say something to her, another person came out of the living room.
"Yo, you're back."
The milf who came out of the living room was also quite tall, although not as tall as Ayaka. She had a glamorous figure and healthy-looking tanned skin.
She had a cool impression, and her name was Sakuragi Yuka.
"Yes, Mom."
She was my other mom.
…
…
What does that mean? It wasn't hard to understand.
Takuya had two moms. A very simple statement, but chaotic in practice.
Looking at the two moms greeting me, I thought of a famous line from a certain game anime.
'You must be happy to have two moms.'
It was a truly chaotic family environment.
