Reborn as the Villain in a Forbidden Game Chapter 4: Memory (2)]

I had a dream.

[■Hey! ■■■─]

A dream about soone's life.

[Ah■■ ■even ■■■!]

A long, vivid dream.

[You like■■ ■■■■─]

***

Afterward, an intense pain shot through my brain.

"Haa... haa..."

I slowly regained consciousness after a bizarre experience where what looked like cent of the sa color was undulating.

"Ugh!"

Wait, no. I didn't fully regain consciousness. I could only move my body.

My stomach churned.

Fortunately, it seed Takuya hadn't eaten anything before I possessed him, so I only dry-heaved a few tis.

Soon, I ca to my senses.

"Ughh..."

Anyway, I was back in control.

After recovering, I realized why I had collapsed.

The reason was obvious: the [Takuya's mories] I received as a reward.

'After all, what I saw earlier was also about Takuya.'

The mories I glimpsed during my faint were all about Takuya's life—specifically, up until the mont I took over his body.

Thanks to that, I now knew Takuya's ho address, so I guess I should be grateful.

Or maybe...

'Should I curse the fact that I ended up in such a ssed-up family?'

Based on the mories I saw, Takuya hadn't lived an ordinary life either.

Though, not as chaotic as mine.

"Hoo. I don't know. I'll have to see for myself."

With that thought, I pressed the exit button in the corner of the screen I had seen earlier.

Unless it was a self-destruct button, it was easy enough to figure out.

As the screen turned off...

Caw- caw- caw-

"What's wrong, Takuya? Why did you suddenly stop?"

The world started moving again.

I was montarily stunned by the surreal sight, but Sota's questioning tone snapped back to reality.

"It's nothing. More importantly, let's hurry to the empty lot and play."

"Okay!"

At my words, Sota grabbed my arm and started running.

I was surprised by how fast he was, but we soon arrived at the empty lot near Takuya's and Sota's houses. Sota, not even out of breath, smiled brightly and said:

"We're here! Let's play, Takuya!"

"Yeah..."

I wasn't particularly tired either, but Sota didn't seem the least bit fatigued after running so fast.

Looking at him, I felt a vitality I hadn't experienced in my pre-possession self—a body that was already old and beginning to decay.

'He's really sothing.'

Is this the power of the male lead? Even in an NTR ga.

Anyway, once we arrived at the empty lot, we started playing happily.

We played tag (just the two of us, surprisingly), built sandcastles with dirt, played rock-paper-scissors, and other traditional gas from my childhood.

In the process, I understood why adults compare the stamina of young people to an arc reactor.

I didn't get tired.

Well, I was tired, but the sheer desire to keep playing kept going.

While I was internally marveling at the horror of my rejuvenated body, Sota, who had just finished our fifth ga of tag and was taking a break, said:

"Hey, Takuya. Did you hear about the big tournant happening in the next neighborhood?"

"What? A tournant?"

"Yeah! They said it's so kind of ga tournant."

A ga tournant?

As I looked puzzled, Sota continued to explain.

"I think it's a fighting ga or sothing?"

"A fighting ga?"

Fighting gas, or "fighters" for short, were a classic genre that had been around for ages.

Humans naturally find joy in watching others fight, and fighting gas maximized that thrill.

'I used to play them a lot too.'

I had played those gas before and even reached a relatively high level before hitting a wall and quitting.

I thought about fighting gas for a mont. Then, I rembered another characteristic of the Lewd Mama series.

'Co to think of it, Lewd Mama had several mini-gas, right?'

That's right—mini-gas inserted into the main ga.

Strangely enough, the Lewd Mama series had quite a few of them.

From what I read on Namuwiki, the series had been criticized for lacking gaplay in the past, so they seed to have added more mini-gas to Lewd Mama to compensate.

There were so many that people joked about playing the ga not for the adult content but for the mini-gas.

Each ga didn't offer much money, but if you cleared all of them, you could earn a decent amount.

This was good information, thanks to Sota.

"Thanks."

Sota, not understanding my gratitude, just looked at with a puzzled expression.

"Huh? For what?"

"It's nothing. Since we're talking about it, should we go to the tournant together?"

"Really?!"

"Yeah. Let's practice together while we're at it."

At my words, Sota's face lit up, and he grabbed my hand.

"Then, let's practice at my house!"

"At your house?"

Sota nodded.

"Yeah! We have the series they're using in the tournant at my place. Plus, my mom said she'd make sothing delicious for you when you co over, Takuya."

"Really?"

My eyes lit up at those words.

I was already thinking about how to advance my relationship with Miyuki—no, Miyuki—and this was the perfect opportunity.

I'll use this as an excuse to get closer to her.

'Thanks to my experience playing Lewd Mama, I know exactly how to win her over.'

Capturing Miyuki isn't that difficult, after all.

The story of Lewd Mama isn't about the journey to capture her but what happens afterward.

I nodded at Sota's words and said:

"Then, let's do it! Can I co this Sunday?"

"Okay! I'll tell my mom you're coming on Sunday! You have to co!"

At Sota's 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 Sota for a while before we parted ways.

***

Step. Step. Step.

After talking with Sota, I walked away, feeling extrely nervous.

It was inevitable.

Looking at the naplate of the two-story detached house in front of , it was obvious.

[Mori Family (森家)]

To be more precise, Takuya's last na was Mori (森).

Do you understand now?

I had arrived at the house where Takuya lived.

I had already seen his family in Takuya's mories, but I couldn't help feeling nervous.

From the mont I possessed this body to the mont I realized it had parents, I had been carrying a sense of guilt.

After all, in a way, I had stolen their child's body.

Even I felt guilty about taking a child away from their parents.

And then there was Miyuki.

A woman with that kind of body is a cri to leave alone.

Anyway, that was why I felt guilty.

But what could I do? It wasn't like I possessed him willingly, and I couldn't exactly give Takuya's body back.

So, instead of wallowing in guilt, I decided to think of it as the karma of a guy who stole soone else's mom.

It was a trashy thought, but it helped my ntal health.

I took a deep breath and tried to relax.

'Hoo... calm down. It's not like I'm here to commit a cri. I'm just here to play.'

I brainwashed myself with that thought and opened the door, stepping inside.

-Click.

The door opened too easily.

For so reason, it wasn't a tal or wooden door with a lock, but one that opened with a simple push.

I was montarily flustered by how easily it gave way.

As I entered, I was hit by a strange but familiar sll of food coming from the kitchen and the boisterous laughter of codians from the TV in the living room.

I called out in a voice that was neither too soft nor too loud:

"I'm ho."

At my voice, soone erged from the kitchen and the living room.

The first to appear was a woman from the kitchen.

She was tall for a Japanese woman, radiating maternal warmth and kindness. She wore an apron and held a ladle, greeting with a gentle smile.

"Oh, welco ho."

"I'm ho, Mom."

Her na was Mori Ayaka (森 綾香), my mom.

Just as I was about to say sothing to her, another person ca out of the living room.

"Yo, you're back."

This person was also quite tall, with a glamorous figure and healthy, tanned skin. She had a cool deanor, and her na was Sakuragi Yuka (桜木 由香).

"Yes, Mom."

She was my other mom.

.....

What does that an?

It's simple.

Takuya had two moms.

Looking at the two won greeting , I thought of a famous line from a certain ga ani:

'You must be happy to have two moms.'

It was a truly chaotic family environnt.
