6: The Demands Keep Coming

[Although Utaha was slow, she met your expectations.] 

[After ten minutes, you left the multimedia classroom feeling refreshed and suggested meeting again the next day.]

[On the third day, during lunch, you went to the school library where Utaha was already waiting.] [You appreciated her subtlety and led her to the innermost bookshelf.] 

[The books there were advanced mathematics and foreign language papers, which you didn't understand but were perfect for your purposes.]

[On the fourth day, you cheerfully invited Utaha to the sports storage room to wait for you…]

[On the fifth day, you went to the abandoned astronomy club on the top floor, a place rarely visited…]

[On the sixth day, which was supposed to be a weekend, the school suddenly announced makeup classes.] 

[Utaha called in sick with a cold, and understanding the situation, you bought fruits, watermelon puddings, and isotonic drink for her after school and went to visit her at home.] 

[Her mother, impressed by your student council president status, welcomed you warmly.]

[After her mother left, you gently helped Utaha, who was pretending to be sick, and showed a kind smile.]

It was too stimulating!

Stop, stop!

Suzumiya Chisato quickly exited the first-person perspective.

Even for someone with a strong constitution, a week of daily experiences like this was overwhelming. 

In the first-person view, all his senses were fully engaged. 

The feelings he experienced, whether the pleasure during the act or the fatigue afterward, were all transmitted to him with a level of realism that felt almost physical.

For example, while nearly a week had passed in the simulation, only a few minutes had gone by in reality. 

Even someone like Suzumiya Chisato, known for his stamina, would struggle with this.

[Host, you can activate the self-protection mechanism to block negative experiences from the first-person perspective.]

Seeing the system's suggestion, Suzumiya Chisato, massaging his sore waist, smiled knowingly.

If he could block negative experiences with this...

[That's right, you no longer need to worry about back pain. Even if you engage in such activities frequently and in large quantities, you won't need to worry!]

Thank you for the oddly specific metaphor, but it's not necessary.

Though he could block negative experiences, Suzumiya Chisato, now in a more reflective state of mind, decided to avoid the first-person perspective for a while. 

He thought that watching the developments through text could still be enjoyable.

[In the following period, due to Utaha's obedient cooperation, you became increasingly excessive and reckless.]

[You even showed her a list of eighteen different positions, saying you wanted to master all of them before she graduated. But, an accident occurred after only the third position.]

[That day, in the school infirmary after classes, with the night falling, you had planned for no interruptions.]

[However, just as you were focused on Utaha in her stockings on the single bed, the curtain was abruptly pulled back.] 

[Your homeroom teacher, the dean, and the principal stood there, staring at you.]

[Utaha, with a look of sadness, had tears streaming from her moist eyes.]

[Her expression, combined with her disheveled appearance, left you unable to defend yourself.]

[The next day, you were expelled from school, and Utaha disappeared from your view.]

[At home, countless nights were spent reflecting.] 

[If only you hadn't been so obsessed with Utaha's beauty and body, and had focused more on long-term goals and approached things more gently and delicately, would she have truly belonged to you in the end?]

[Simulation Ended.]

...

It failed.

No, "as expected" would be more appropriate here.

From the very beginning of the seven-day spree with Utaha, Chisato had a nagging feeling that things would eventually go wrong. 

However, the simulation didn't offer any choices and progressed on its own, making it impossible for him to intervene.

Oh well, even if the simulation only lasted briefly, getting Utaha in the first trial was quite satisfying.

Chisato sighed, took the nearly empty water cup from the bedside, and drank it all.

A bottle of happy drink would have been nice right now. 

But this version of himself lived in a small apartment, showing that he wasn't well-off, so such drinks were not available.

Never mind. 

Let's check the simulation evaluation.

[Evaluation: D]

[Evil Path Index: 57]

[Overall Comment: You were too focused on immediate pleasure and neglected the growing resistance from the other party. If you had been more careful, you could have done better, but now it's just a case of failing at the last hurdle.]

[Hint: You can reload to any point in this simulation, or choose to end it directly to receive the relevant rewards.]

"Can I see what rewards I've received after ending this simulation?"

[You cannot.]

[However, I can tell you that evaluations with a D-rank and an Evil Path Index below 60 are very low, so the rewards won't be impressive.]

Chisato was planning to reload and try again anyway, and this system's comment just makes him more determined.

Chisato lies back down on the bed.

Activate the simulation.

[The simulation has been activated. Please choose the point to reload.]

Of course, it's the choice right after Kasumigaoka Utaha says "It doesn't matter what you do to me" in the student council room.

Previously, due to a playful mindset, Suzumiya Chisato was eager to obtain her and see what would happen next.

Now that he has already seen and tasted it, he will focus on achieving the perfect ending as defined by the Evil Path Simulator.

[...]

[What you said has further deepened Kasumigaoka Utaha's feelings of guilt.]

[After a moment of silence, Kasumigaoka Utaha says:] 

["The past is irretrievable. I understand that no matter how I try to make up for it now, I cannot erase the pain in your heart."] 

["You can do whatever you want to me, but I hope you won't hurt those around me who are unrelated to this."]

[Seeing her like this, you decide..]

[1....]

[2....]

[3. The timing isn't right. Let her leave for now and make plans later.]

This time, there was no doubt about choosing the third option.
