The innkeeper had drugged her with sleeping pills and raped her while she lay unconscious. After thoroughly savoring the erotic event and basking in its lingering afterglow, Shiori performed the now-familiar restart.

"...Ah, so this is the starting point."

She found herself back inside the inn room. Since the erotic event with the innkeeper had already concluded, the sleeping pills were no longer present in the water pitcher.

"Well then... shall we try again tonight?"

Shiori lay down on the bed and selected "Sleep until night" from the options displayed in the window. Her vision went completely dark for a few moments before returning to normal, revealing that night had fallen outside.

"...It’s nighttime now. Well then, let’s go."

Confirming the darkened view through the window, Shiori rose from the bed and left the room. She walked down the corridor to the entrance, where the innkeeper stood behind the counter.

"Oh...? I thought it was someone else, but it’s the beautiful lady staying the night. Is something the matter?"

The man was sweeping the floor with a broom when he noticed her and called out. His tone was so casual that, for a brief moment, Shiori wondered whether the restart had placed her on a route where the assault had never occurred. Yet when she looked closer, his expression carried a faint, smug smirk, and she could clearly sense the air of superiority radiating from him.

*The reason is obvious.*

"I took the virginity of this beautiful woman."

Shiori instantly understood that the man was basking in that secret sense of conquest.

"Oh... I don’t particularly enjoy being looked at that way... Oh well ♡"

She felt a flicker of annoyance at his attitude—he believed she remained unaware of what he had done—but the accompanying shame only heightened her arousal.

"...Yes, I was thinking of stepping out for a while."

"Going out...?"

"It’s dangerous at night, so please be careful. There are rough characters in the bars and back alleys on the western streets. A beauty like you would surely be accosted immediately. If you don’t want any trouble, it’s best to stay inside."

His words sounded kind and protective, making it difficult to believe he had violated her in her sleep and now felt superior because of it. Yet to Shiori, who actively sought such encounters, his warning translated simply as: "There is an erotic event waiting for you there."

"...Understood. Thank you."

She offered her thanks, both outwardly and inwardly grateful, then left the inn.

"...This is nighttime..."

Stars glittered in the sky and a cool breeze flowed through the streets. Shiori gazed at the transformed cityscape, so different from its daytime appearance, before turning her eyes westward.

"Well, since the old man kindly gave me directions, let’s go see what awaits at that bar."

She had originally planned to wander the town leisurely in search of spontaneous events, but now that she knew precisely where to go, there was no need for hesitation. Filled with anticipation, Shiori walked westward, turned into a small alley, and entered the building still brightly lit by lanterns—the bar.

"Hahaha!"

"Well, you see...!"

"Ahhh, it’s delicious!"

"Have you heard that story...?"

The bar was moderately spacious, with five round tables where groups of four or five men sat drinking and laughing boisterously. None had noticed Shiori’s entrance yet. She walked straight to the empty counter and took a seat in the center.

"...What would you like to order?"

The bartender looked momentarily surprised to see a young woman enter alone at night, but quickly regained his composure and asked for her order.

"Yes... an orange juice, please."

Though still a minor in reality, this was a game. Shiori briefly considered ordering alcohol but chose the non-alcoholic orange juice listed on the menu behind the counter.

"...That will be 3E." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Yes, please."

After receiving payment, the bartender poured the drink into a fresh glass and set it before her. Shiori brought it to her lips and took a sip—when suddenly the chair beside her scraped loudly.

"Hey, hey! Hey miss, what are you doing drinking all by yourself?"

"Uh... um..."

One of the men from a nearby table had finally noticed her. Reeking of alcohol, he approached with a swagger.

"Oh...? Oh wow...! What’s this...? Miss, now that I look closely, you’re incredibly beautiful!"

"What?! What did you say?!"

"Seriously?!"

"Uh, um... wait a minute..."

His loud exclamation drew the attention of the others. One by one, the men swarmed around her.

"Wow... she really is beautiful! I’m completely captivated...!"

"Hey, why is a beauty like you drinking alone? Come drink with us!"

"Yeah, we’ll make sure you have a great time! Come on, over here!"

"Ah...! Wait, wait a minute...!?"

Excited by her beauty, the men grabbed her arms and forcibly pulled her toward their table, seating her in a prepared chair.

"All right, let’s have a nice drink together, beautiful lady!"

"Hehe, nice to meet you."

"We’ll treat you, so drink as much as you like!"

"Well, even if you say that..."

"Things are proceeding nicely... I’ll just go along with it for now..."

Once she was seated, the men began talking over one another. Shiori pretended to hesitate, not touching the mug of beer placed in front of her, which only fueled their excitement further.

"Hey miss, you’re not just incredibly beautiful—your body is amazing too..."

"Ah, that’s so good. I’m totally hooked...!"

"Especially those breasts. They’re big and perfect."

"W-where are you looking...!"

Their passionate, heated gazes roamed openly over her body. Shiori let out a small cry and tried to cover her chest, but the men paid no heed.

"Don’t be shy... Hey miss, you haven’t drunk anything yet. Come on, drink up!"

"Orange juice is for kids. You’re an adult, aren’t you? With a body like that."

"Here, have a real drink!"

"Ah, ngh...!? Mmm, mmm...! Mmm... ah, mmm...!"

"Ugh...!? It’s... it’s bitter..."

Impulsively, the men seized the mugs on the table and forced her to drink. Held firmly in place, Shiori had no choice but to gulp down one mug, then another. The effects appeared almost immediately.

Her vision began to blur, and strength rapidly drained from her limbs.

"Mmm, ah... ah, ahh..."

"Ah, uh... My head isn’t working properly... My body won’t move... So... no matter what you do to me now, I can’t resist... ♡"

"Hehe, it tastes good, doesn’t it?"

"You look great, miss. Come on, drink more and more!"

"The night is still young. Let’s have plenty of fun, sis."

"We all want to get along with our beautiful big sister."

A new status ailment had taken hold: **Intoxication**. Watching Shiori’s movements grow sluggish, the men exchanged lewd, predatory smiles, their desires surging unchecked.
