This Eroge Won't Make Me Fall!



The world entered a state of war.

With the Outer God having shown its might and another sacrifice of a person with a disturbingly similar name to my brother, we formed the coalition with the people that Miss Charlotte had brought with her.

It was, apparently, a solo effort from the very beginning by her that started eighteen years back from the day we joined the coalition. Charlotte Godslayer, as she put herself, was very respected by the other worlds and was chosen as the de-facto leader of the entire operation.

And that continued.

She seemed to have taken a liking to my father, which made my mom duke it out with her, but as it turned out, she took an even bigger liking to my mother?? I didn't really understand what happened there, but now both my mom and dad were pretty highly respected in the worlds' coalition against the outer gods.

We needed a cool name for this thing.

Anyway.

Students, most naturally, started getting enlisted by the Hunter's Association and the UN all over the world. The portals became even more spread apart and all gate attacks were temporarily suspended except for the emission types.

And me?

Of course, I was enlisted too.

"Na Ri," Em's voice called me out and I turned her way. On the rebuilt floating Island where the Hunter's Association once stood was now a world military base.

"What?" I asked.

"There's someone from that last world that wants to meet you, I was told to send you there."

Last world. The only place left behind in the World's Alliance. It took a good five months, but we were able to make a gate to that place too.

Of course, they didn't make things public just yet. They decided to form a coalition with the world and then tell it to the people, I wondered how that was going on.

"Hurry up, I hear it's someone super important."

"I don't wanna go anymore." I sighed. Now why was someone important looking for me?

"Is this what being a Chaebol is like?" Em said something stupid.

"Do you even know the meaning of that word?"

Em shrugged and I passed her by. The white walls of the base were riddled with alarms and devices that didn't activate all that easily. I pulled out my ID from my pockets and pushed it in front of the doors.

The security clearance got me through in no time and I went deeper into the base, at the parts reserved for the top brass. It took them no time to establish a hierarchy.

As I walked through, a few of the hunters from our world and the others stopped and saluted at me and I waved them away.

And me?

Of course, I was their senior.

Sighs left me as I looked all around.

If my brother was here, he would have probably been wreaking havoc here. He had spent his entire youth going around in gates just to get stronger, to the point that almost all theory and research courses had started to despise him.

With all these people, he would have definitely been fighting every day.

That fool.

"Oh? You're here, missy,"

I looked up and found a lady with white hair looking at me with crossed arms. Her forehead was slightly bleeding and there were splinters sticking out of her head.

"W-what? Miss Charlotte? What happened to you."

Charlotte touched her head and winced.

"I… had a chair thrown on me."

A chair?

A chair could have that much of an effect against a person like her? What was the chair made of?

"I don't know why she wants you or how she even knows about you, but just go in and please her a bit."

"The heck?"

"Come on, consider it a favor."

I didn't want to get hit by a chair like that, but I was also curious. It seemed Miss Charlotte had her hands full with this person.

"Fine," I said Miss Charlotte placed her hand on the sensors. The white wall in front of us swung open and I stepped inside.

"Damn it, there was no one like that when I left that place. What does she care what kind of mother I am—"

I ignored Charlotte's whispers and stepped inside the room. The door behind me closed on its own.

There, on the couch placed at the head of the room, sat a single lady reminiscent of a flower.

Lady? Lady seemed like the right word. Her face was draped by a red veil while her white fair swayed seamlessly in the air.

Her every breath was filled with grace. From the moment she placed down her cup of tea and turned toward me, every single gesture made my heart skip a beat.

What?

What what? Was this even possible? How could someone be so beautiful without even showing her face?

"Han… Na Ri? Did I get that right?"

I ignored her words and walked toward her.

The lady seemed slightly confused by my actions.

But that mattered little, I kneeled down in front of her and grasped her hands.

"Can you marry me?"

"No. I am taken."

I was rejected.

"Have a seat, I've heard a lot about you, but it seems you are more similar to him than I thought."

"Him?"

The lady's veil fluttered slightly.

Her words were just as beautiful as her actions, like the sound of a lyre.

"Your brother."

"My… who?"

"Well the fairy is in a coma so I am not sure if he'll just die, but he won't dare."

That day I learned that life doesn't necessarily end when you die.

—Tap.

—Tap.

"Eu-Ge-Ne!! I am back!"

In a dark empty place, I saw a man walking over.

"Alright, my Catene, keep that thing tied."

—CLANG CLANG CLANG!

Loud sounds filled my ears.

And soon, a person stopped in front of me.

He donned a pensive smile, I could tell he did.

"Are you alright?" He asked.

Alright? No way I was.

I had too much thinking to do.

It felt, as if everything around me was collapsing.

I took in a deep breath and stared right into 'My' eyes.

"I am… a regressor am I not?"
