"Game…?"
"You mean you saw everything in a game?"
Albert nodded at their words.
"I don't really get it, but that makes things feel very insignificant."
"Don't think that way, if something is insignificant then it would be that world compared to this one. The intricacies in both of them can't even be compared."
Albert nodded at my words. He took another swig of the whiskey and sighed.
"He's right. I don't think there's much comparable. In any case, it was all the story of an Eroge. Where the player followed the story of the hero, or Luka."
Luka leaned back.
"Me? The hero?"
"Yes, think of it, weren't you pretty much a hero in your previous life"
Luka hummed and shook his head.
"I have no idea."
"Anyway," Albert spoke. It seemed he was going to avoid the sexy bits of the details and skip to the main meat. "I believed that everything was matching that story, even though, of course, Yuyu and I messed up a lot of stuff, the most general things are still the same."
"Nothing is the same in my eyes."
Noa nodded too.
"It's much more spicy this round."
"Well, not those main things," Albert clarified. "What I meant was that the people and the events that are going down are pretty much unchanging here. Like the characters of the main story, or the general timeline and events. Of course, Dantalian is gone and Eugene Hall is different, but the main characters were still the same."
Luka crossed his arms, and so did Noa.
"Do these main characters include me?"
"Yes," Albert said. "It was you, me, Luka, the princesses, and the rest. Eugene was actually a villain that barely had a lot of screen time."
"That doesn't sound all that off."
"Right, but what does sound off is that…" Albert crossed his legs. "Neither of you knows Marissa."
The other two crossed their legs as well.
"I don't see how that is odd, to be honest."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"That's the deal, right? You are supposed to know someone since it matches with the game, but now that you don't, it puts all the information on our hand into jeopardy."
"I see…"
Noa crossed her arms and kicked back.
"Sounds like a bitch problem. If there's something wrong we can just deal with it. Till then, I guess you want to match what all we know?"
Albert nodded.
This was important.
"Outer gods first poured in from dungeons."
"Correct."
" They attacked all three places simultaneously in your second year."
"Correct again."
"The demons and gods faced a large loss but the one here was rather weak and you guys managed to beat it, a large contribution went to Lushan and you, Luka."
The fireplace crackled.
"Wrong. I was barely involved."
"FUCK!"
Albert slapped his hand on the table and stood up.
I held my hair back and sighed,
What?
What in the fuck was happening now?
"Wait, wait, it was an eroge, there are routes."
Albert wiped his face and sighed.
His breathing was messed, his heart beating fast. Just like mine was.
Many many questions ran through our mind, but getting sure of things came first.
"Let me confirm again, Marissa never joined the academy in your first year?"
Luka shook his head. "I know no one by that name. Except in this timeline."
"Alright, alright. Again to be sure, did you ever save Hoya from a sticky situation with Demon Agares?"
Luka nodded this time.
"I did that."
He seemed just as nervous as us.
"I remember that too."
"Alright, so that's still constant. That's how you guys fell in love, right?"
Luka tilted his head.
"No?"
Albert shut up.
A lull spread in the room.
No one was ready to eek out a word.
"Luka… did you save her from Agares when his tentacle demons were stripping her?"
"What kind of question is that…" Luka asked. "Do you think she can't fend off tentacle demons? They are weak as hell."
Albert held his head in his hands.
The general gist hadn't changed not one bit.
But the finer details were all over the place.
"Noa… Did you and Noa never have any… compromising encounters?"
Noa seemed pissed.
"With his cunt and his self-serving gang of nose-highs? Of course not! I had not shown myself to anyone until two months back."
"Ahem." I coughed.
Noa blushed and looked away.
"Wait you two…?"
Albert and Luka had the same reaction.
I quickly shrugged the matter away. "You can't pile on this shock as well, get to things again."
"Eugene… Eugene! Was he a major irredeemable pervert?"
"Oh that he was."
"Notorious, and I wasn't even in his class."
Fuck now that didn't change huh?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Ok… Ok…" Albert held his head again and sighed out loud. "What happened next? The weakened hell and heaven formed an alliance with you and you guys fought. The one that led the alliance was you, Luka?"
"At one point near the end, the leader from the beginning was the god of Adventurers, Kaiser."
"Near the end?"
"When they all died."
My eyes widened.
Kaiser… died?
That's hard to believe.
"That's not very off, but Kaiser doesn't Die die, just a coma…"
Albert crouched on the ground.
"The outer gods, did many of them spew out acid breaths that melted clothes?"
"That would be downright stupid, would it not?"
This wasn't happening.
"Luka, forgive me for this question, but did you use to have a lot of public sex?"
Luka blushed and kicked the table toward Albert.
"I would never do something that shameful!"
"Yujin…. Yujin Yujin Yujin…"
I pressed my head too and sighed.
All those incidents.
While they were almost the same.
Almost.
They were starkly different. Even if the frame was correct, the world wasn't.
"Yujin Han."
"Albert Wessler."
"I am starting to think…"
Was there any need for words?
It was clear in both our minds.
Undeniable proof sat in front of us that was revealed thanks to Marissa's presence.
Even if the routes were maintained…
"This world…"
"Might not be an eroge at all."
