"Ahhh... haaaaaah... that was so hard..."

After regaining consciousness and undergoing the restart process, Shiori returned to Yakubi’s hut in the "Northern Wasteland." She let out a big sigh and spoke her thoughts about what had just happened.

"Being teased like that... it was really tough. Being tormented like that... well, the feeling of relief and pleasure when I finally came was incredible...♡ And having the collar put on me at the end was incredibly exciting too...♡"

"I don’t like being teased in such a naughty state every time, but... if it only happens once in a while, maybe it’s okay...♡"

While expressing her dissatisfaction with Yakubi’s persistent torment, she admitted that the drawn-out, nagging torment had also been enjoyable in its own way.

"Well then... let’s complete the quest for now."

"...Ah, I should switch my equipment back to the [Black Dress]..."

Having finished reflecting, Shiori turned her gaze forward, changed from her erotic "Archer Shrine Maiden Outfit" into her normal "Black Dress," and entered Yakubi’s hut.

"Finished... Well, that’s a good stopping point, so let’s head back to town and log out."

By avoiding the tea offered by Yakubi, she completed the quest without any particular issues. Shiori returned to Middle City and logged out.

"Ahhh... I feel so much better."

After logging out.

After taking a shower, Shiori returned to her room with her long hair tied up and only a bath towel wrapped around her body.

Her ample breasts were pressed tightly against the bath towel.

Her thighs, visible deep between the folds with every movement.

The slender waist and shapely buttocks were accentuated by the bath towel.

Her nape, usually hidden, was exposed because her hair was tied up.

Her fair skin was flushed from having just taken a shower.

Unlike the deliberately erotic equipment such as the [Archer Shrine Maiden Outfit], Shiori’s outfit was overflowing with eroticism precisely because she was completely relaxed and at ease.

"Now then... hmm... hmm, hmm..."

In that erotic state, Shiori sat down on the bed and began to take care of her skin.

"Hmm hmm hmm...♪"

Shiori was humming a tune and seemed to be in a good mood as she took care of her grooming.

Although she secretly harbored the forbidden desire of rape, aside from that, she appeared to be a perfectly ordinary girl.

Moisturize with lotion, then apply cream.

Do it thoroughly, carefully, and evenly.

Once she had finished thoroughly drying her entire body, Shiori took out a hair dryer and carefully dried her long hair.

"Phew, done... Well then..."

It took 30 minutes to get this far.

After carefully tending to her skin, Shiori got dressed, picked up her smartphone, and sat back down on the bed.

"One..."

Next, Shiori began reviewing tomorrow’s lecture.

She had checked this before playing "Fantasia World," but she wanted to double-check and make sure that there hadn’t been any sudden class cancellations.

"Ah......?"

And so she was fiddling with her smartphone.

Suddenly, Shiori’s smartphone began to ring.

The following was displayed on the screen: "Hazuki"

She was Shiori’s friend.

Therefore, Shiori answered the call without any hesitation.

"Hello, what’s up...?!"

"Shiori... Listen to me...! I had another fight with my boyfriend!"

The moment she opened her mouth, Shiori heard the sound of crying.

Therefore, Shiori instinctively moved her phone slightly away from her ear, then brought it closer again and began to speak.

"Again? Hazuki... You just said you made up the other day, didn’t you?"

Shiori’s tone of voice became more polite, but this wasn’t because the person she was talking to was her friend, Hazuki.

In reality, Shiori was a well-behaved, gentle student who always made an effort to speak politely to everyone she spoke to.

"Uh... yeah, that’s true, but... he threw away the cream puff I’d been saving to eat! Isn’t that awful?! Isn’t it awful?!"

"That’s... a terrible boyfriend."

After hearing Shiori’s reply, Hazuki, still crying, began to explain the reason for the fight.

Shiori responded as she heard this, but... she didn’t seem to be listening very seriously.

"I know I’m partly to blame for leaving it there for so long! But, you know! There are things I want to say! Right?!"

"Well..."

Shiori had pretty much stopped listening.

But this didn’t mean she disliked Hazuki.

It was such a common occurrence that she couldn’t be bothered to worry about it every time.

That’s because Hazuki and her boyfriend fight all the time.

No, to be precise, it was more often that Hazuki jumped to conclusions about something and started crying.

But they usually make up pretty quickly and start being affectionate with each other again.

Because this whole cycle happened so often, Shiori no longer had the energy to worry about it.

"Yes, yes... I’ll comfort you properly tomorrow. But first, you should get into bed and sleep. I think you’ll feel better once you sleep."

"Uhh... I understand... Goodnight, Shiori..."

Therefore, Shiori urged her to quickly end the call.

Hazuki fell for the trick easily and quickly hung up the phone.

"...’I’ve kept it for so long...’ she said, so I guess it was probably past its expiration date and he threw it away..."

"And perhaps after he threw it away, her boyfriend tried to buy a new cream puff, but... Hazuki found out before he could go out to buy it."

"So... I guess after this, her boyfriend will buy her some cream puffs and apologize again. Hazuki will be happy to see them. And they’ll make up... I’m sure tomorrow she’ll report that they’ve made up."

Shiori reasoned this, holding her smartphone after the call had ended.

Incidentally, that deduction proved correct, as when she ended the call, Hazuki and her boyfriend were eating cream puffs and starting to make up.

"...A boyfriend, huh... Well, I’m still okay."

Incidentally, Shiori herself wasn’t thinking about getting a boyfriend at that time.

This was partly because she wasn’t particularly interested in the concept of a romantic partner, but more importantly, Shiori absolutely hated the idea of being "cuckolded."

This can, of course, be viewed as a work of fiction, but the thought of doing it herself was awful. It was something she didn’t even want to hear about.

However, if that’s the case, then if she were to get a boyfriend, and she fantasized about being raped just like she would during her usual masturbation, it would automatically turn into a cuckolding scenario.

She absolutely hated the idea of that happening. At that point, Shiori wasn’t even thinking about getting a boyfriend.

"Well... shall we take a break?"

Although the bombardment of calls from Hazuki disrupted her plans slightly, once Shiori had finished all her preparations, she got into bed and started to rest.
