I Was Reincarnated as a Nameless Combatant in a Japanese-style Fantasy Depressive Erotic Game, but the Women Around Me Are All Dangerous, and I Have a Bad Feeling about It

t, and I, standing beside Hina, raised my face, stiffening my body.
Reflecting back on the setting of the original work, nausea welled up inside me.

 

　The location was the grand hall used for the Onitsuki main family's discussion in their main residence.
It was the same room where Hina and I had previously reported on the subjugation of the great youkai wolf.
As before, important members of the Onitsuki clan were lined up on the left and right sides of the spacious room.
Some of them are teleworking from remote places or attending the meeting as Shikigami, but that is not a problem since it is the same as before.

 

　The only significant difference from before was that the seat at the head of the room was now occupied.

 

　The man in question.
The head of the Onitsuki family, a man who looks much more worn out compared to the man depicted in steel engravings and art books, Onitsuki Yuusei, is sitting in the head of the family's throne room looking down at me.
This fact makes me spit and shake nervously.

 

　It was bad.
It was very bad.
It could have been more dangerous than facing off against a calamity youkai.

 

　This man's presence was a real obstacle for me.
Even when I was a miscellaneous worker, I tried desperately not to be involved in any conflicts with him, and after I fell to a servant, he was like a bump on the skin that had to be removed at any cost for a happy ending.

 

　In the secondary works (fan fiction), it is not uncommon for original protagonists reincarnated into the story to be forced out through various means.
It's not only earning unnecessary hatred, but it's also overthinking.
So for me, I'd want to get rid of him with cheats before doing anything unnecessary.
If he were not there, the game's difficulty level would decrease by one notch.

 

　(D*mn it, couldn't this be described as the power of revision from the original work…!? Why did he have to wake up at this time when he had been sleeping for years!?)

 

　Unlike in the original story, in this world, Yuusei had become a disabled person and was bedridden for many years since the incident that trapped Gorilla-sama.

 

　The reason is unknown.
It had been years since that incident involving Gorilla-sama, who, unlike in the original, had not lost her virginity, nor suffered political downfall.
Perhaps out of sheer hatred, Gorilla-sama cursed him, or maybe there was some other reason…
Anyway, when I regained consciousness and survived the incident, it was already this way.
I tried to investigate without arousing suspicion, but I still don't know the cause.
Nevertheless, it is a fact that I did not feel relieved to know that the troublesome person wasn't gone…!

 

　(That's right, Gorilla-sama…!?)

 

　I panicked as I searched for her among the attendees.
Given her position, I hoped she would support me with a strategic defense.

 

　”…!?”

 

　But my hope was shattered mercilessly.
She was indeed there among the attendees.
But…
the pink-clad princess there was not the haughty and arrogant type of princess I was used to seeing.

 

　I could clearly see Aoi shrinking back, exuding a weak and powerless demeanor as she fanned herself trying to disguise it.
The people around her even cast curious glances at her, wondering what had happened.

 

　(Are you kidding!? Has something else happened!?)

 

　I was referring to the guy who was a yandere and mentally unwell.
It was not impossible that he had used drugs or illusions to launch a surprise attack on Gorilla-sama, taking advantage of his seemingly perpetual bedridden state.
But given the original story, which degraded his real daughter, who was not yet even 10 years old, to a youkai orgy festival, it would be even more unnatural to think that he had not done anything.
In other words…

 

　(So the final stage is about to begin, is that it!?)

 

　I was truly starting to panic.
Everyone who might have supported me with a whim had literally disappeared, leaving me completely on my own.
Just like a fish on the chopping block.
Things had reached the worst possible scenario where I was at everyone's mercy.
And…I no longer had time to think of a new plan.

 

　”…Well, it seems the participants have all gathered.
Let's start today's discussion then.”

 

　Yuusei opens his mouth solemnly.
His voice, which was not loud, echoed in the room unpleasantly.
The attendees wordlessly responded.

 

　”Hina, thank you for your hardwork.
And the same to the Yun-shoku who have woken up…
Are you feeling well?”

 

　”Yes.”

 

　”Thank you for your kind words.”

 

　He first thanked Hina, and finally expressed gratitude to me.
Hina respond shortly, and I respond condescendingly, but under my mask, I winced greatly.

 

　(Why are you worrying about Hina in this situation…!)

 

　When this man speaks such words, one wonders if tomorrow's weather will be clear with occasional rain and snow.
Physical appearance? No, it's hard to imagine that from his behavior in the original story, where it's doubtful if he had even thought about the consequences of his actions.
Then, what is the purpose…?

 

　”Hmm…
everyone probably knows.
The first topic of this discussion is about the incident that occurred recently.”

 

　The head of the family says this in a casual yet grandiose manner, whether he knows of my inner impatience or not.

 

　It was almost certainly about the disturbance in Hotoya village, given the circumstances.
The fact that no one raised his voice indicated that the contents were already known to the public.

 

　(Am I being hanged or…)

 

　I had already prepared myself for what would happen when all was said and done.
Moreover, the significance of this gathering…
it would be more compassionate to hold such a farcical trial.
I tried to keep my composure and waited for his next words.

 

　”I set up this meeting to confirm the facts and to obtain everyone's understanding of what has been done.
I apologize for the inconvenience.
We may not have much time.
Shall we begin the inquiry? Head of the Hidden Group, please explain.”
