Chapter 79 The Woman Who Seeks the World’s Truth
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
Returning to the Dominion by way of teleportation, I spent that night, as has become my custom, completely entangled with the two of them until we were utterly exhausted. They were both wearing brand-new underwear, which made the whole thing tremendously raunchy.
While I was thrusting into Cleonora in reverse cowgirl, Liliarette kept kissing me the entire time.
It was both a pleasure and a little frightening that spending the night with the beautiful sisters had become such an unremarkable part of my daily life.
By the way, the maids were diligently cleaning our clothes and bedding at the moment. It was a huge help that I could now entrust them with meal preparation to a certain extent, and they also handled the cleaning.
Well, that was what maids were meant to do, I supposed…
And so, the next day, I found myself in Japan for the first time in a while.
”Has it been a little while, then…”
”You’ve been busy with your Dominion work, haven’t you?”
My savings balance was finally approaching the 100,000 yen mark. I suppose I had no choice but to focus on my part-time job for a bit…
(I should buy a sufficient amount of rice while leaving a trace of Ami-chan’s presence, to throw off any pursuers.)
Oh, and condoms, too. Liliarette had shown some interest in them.
Although I no longer needed to put much effort into commerce, I was still curious about the effect of converting those sorts of products into Resource Points. Perhaps it would allow me to create similar items later on.
Furthermore, with the increase in my 〈Treasure House〉 level, I could now bring in larger objects than before. I needed to consider this point when deciding what to carry back to the Dominion.
”For now, I’m heading straight to my part-time job.”
”It’s annoying if pursuers find you again, so let’s stick to teleportation for moving around!”
”Alright,” I said.
Moving by teleportation was easy, but it always made me feel like I was wasting Ego Points. It felt like taking an extravagant taxi ride for a distance I could cover on foot in an hour…
* * *
A significant number of days had passed since my last shift, but as usual, no one said anything about it. I simply did my job in the assigned location.
”I’m on gymnasium duty today, am I…”
Looking at the court schedule, the familiar kendo club was slated to use it until the evening. That meant The Handsome Suit and the Kendo Bitch Girl might be coming, too.
”Th-they haven’t found out yet, have they…? That I came inside the Kendo Bitch Girl…”
”The blindfolded girl from the other day? I’m sure it’s fine,” said my companion.
I didn’t even know if they would show up… I thought. But, as it turned out, they were there in full view.
I didn’t look at her eyes, nor did I get a proper look at her face, but judging by her height and hairstyle, I was fairly certain it was the girl.
She was warming up while chatting with her friends. I wondered if her friends knew that she’d been giving standing doggy-style in here while blindfolded…
In any case, I didn’t want to be in the same space as her for long. I turned my back and left the gymnasium.
* * *
”………?”
The facility worker was leaving the gymnasium. Perhaps they were checking to see if there were any deficiencies or if the users were using the gymnasium appropriately.
However, as I watched that back, a memory from a little while ago resurfaced in my mind.
(That back… it resembles the man from that time!?)
He was likely one of those guided by fate to secretly confront the forces of darkness. Or perhaps a monster-specialist sweeper employed by the government. In any case, it was clear he was no ordinary man.
(No… any man of that age would have a similar back. But still…)
As the world approached its end, I had never forgotten the image of the man standing alone against the current. There was likely not much time left for this world. The catastrophe of the end, the sound of the downfall, was pressing close.
I wanted to meet him and talk. I wanted to know the truth of this world.
Yet, since that day, no matter how many times I passed by that path, I had never encountered the man again.
Still, the back of the man who just left bothered me. And there was a way to confirm if he was the right person.
(I could see if he talks to the fairy of light… or tell him about the events of that day and see if he shows any reaction; that would be the hit.)
There were risks, however. If he was the type of person who absolutely kills witnesses… I would become a corpse and rot before witnessing the world’s truth.
It was a matter of resolve, then. Whether I could stake my own life on stopping the clock of the apocalypse.
”Hello! Are you listening!?”
”……? Oh, what is it? Shiraki-san,” I said.
It seemed I had been called. How careless of me… since that day, my concentration had certainly been lacking.
”Reika, you’ve been pretty much ignoring me lately, haven’t you…?”
”I didn’t mean to.”
”Really? I thought you were still holding a grudge because I spoke with your fiancé?”
What was she talking about? Let me try to recall…
Ah, yes, that was right. Apparently, there had been talk a while ago about Shiraki-san walking with my fiancé. The classmates who saw them were making a fuss because the location was near the love hotel street.
And Shiraki-san had said that she happened to be out and he called out to her from the other side… or something like that, I thought. Frankly, it was an incredibly trivial matter compared to the truth of the world, a factum, so I had completely forgotten about it.
”I’ve told you many times, haven’t I? It was M-Matagi-san who called out to me. He remembered my face, and he asked to hear about Reika, so we just had a light tea,” Shiraki-san said.
”I see,” I replied.
I still hadn’t mastered the Muryo Reppazan⁴. I wondered if the day would ever come when I could reach that height.
”Matagi-san said that your guard is too hard, Reika. He said he finds a virgin to be a bother, if anything…”
”I see,” I replied.
”Maybe you should just get your first experience over with, Reika? If you’d like, I can introduce you to a guy who’d be gentle,” Shiraki-san offered.
”I see,” I replied.
”……! Are you listening!?”
”……? I’m sorry, what were you talking about?” I asked.
My thoughts had drifted over to that side again. The conversation with the self who wasn’t here… the self on that other side. This time was important, but I needed to focus on this world right now.
”Wait… Haruka, are you serious about what you just said?”
Another person joined our conversation. It seemed she had overheard what Shiraki Haruka was talking about.
”Is it possible he was just trying to pick up Haruka by using Reika as an excuse? And who talks about being a virgin or not to a girl he’s never spoken to before? Matagi-san is certainly handsome, but… I might be a little disillusioned.”
”Eh!? N-No, that’s not true at all!?” Shiraki-san exclaimed.
I looked around and noticed that only one person had joined the conversation, but several others were looking at Shiraki-san with slightly disapproving eyes.
”Besides, it’s too early to just assume Reika is a virgin, isn’t it? Well, Reika?”
”I am a virgin,” I said.
”……Oh, right,” she replied.
My child, perhaps, could be the child of destiny who would greatly move the gears of this world. Or perhaps they would become the executioner who would destroy everything.
Thinking that, I absolutely could not bring myself to have sexual relations with an ordinary man. The same went for my fiancé.
I was of a certain age, and it wasn’t that I wasn’t interested in that sort of thing. If I met the right person, I would like to experience a sweet moment, regardless of whether I was engaged or not.
After all, my fiancé was likely involved with many women himself. I thought the value system that demanded only women maintain their chastity was dubious.
It was just that I hadn’t met someone who could truly shake my heart… someone who could strike a chord within me.
Those around me had a self-imposed image of me as a prim and proper woman with strict morals, but I had absolutely no such intention myself.
(Thinking about it, I wonder if that fiancé is proportionally more likely to strike a chord with multiple women? …Though he doesn’t resonate with me at all.)
Well, today is still long. That man will likely show up again… I shall focus on the match while keeping a close eye on the surroundings.

Shimizu has come to Japan not only to stock up but also to leave a trace of Ami-chan’s presence. Today, he labours for everyone’s sake.

Summary:
Shimizu returns to Japan for a part-time job shift, realizing his low funds and the need to stock up on supplies, including condoms, while maintaining a covert presence using Ami-chan’s aura. He sees the kendo club girl he previously slept with at the gymnasium but manages to slip away unnoticed. Separately, Reika, the kendo girl, recognizes the facility worker (Shimizu) as the mysterious man she encountered before.
She contemplates approaching him to learn the truth of the world, acknowledging the great risk. She is distracted by a conversation with her classmate, Shiraki-san, who mentions Reika’s fiancé, Matagi-san, and his comments about Reika’s chastity. Reika confirms she is a virgin but muses that she hasn’t met a man who moves her soul, asserting her desire to meet someone who truly captures her heart, regardless of her engagement, and keeps an eye on Shimizu/the facility worker, who she suspects is a key to the world’s truth.””

Character Insight:
Reika’s internal world is dominated by her quest for the “truth of the world,” which she frames in apocalyptic terms. This quest has elevated her moral standard for intimacy, viewing the act as having a profound, world-changing potential—either birthing a child of destiny or an executioner. This spiritual ambition overrides typical romantic or sexual desires and makes her fiancé, Matagi-san, and all ordinary men ‘unworthy.’ Her outward composure as a ‘chaste woman’ is thus a side-effect of her grand, esoteric internal struggle, rather than any genuine commitment to social mores she openly finds unequal (the double standard for chastity). Her ability to entirely forget Shiraki-san’s drama highlights her extreme focus on her perceived ‘higher’ purpose, revealing a character who is intensely driven and almost religiously devoted to her mysterious goal.””

Behind the Scene:
The internal conflict of Shimizu regarding his use of ‘teleportation’ versus walking is a subtle but constant reminder of the resource management aspect of his life as a Dominion Lord. It adds a layer of relatability to his god-like powers—even he has to worry about the ‘cost’ of convenience. The reappearance of the kendo club girl is a deliberate narrative choice to heighten tension and risk, as she is now actively pursuing the “man” (Shimizu) she believes holds the key to the world’s truth. This sets up a ticking clock: will she confirm his identity before he manages to leave Japan?””
