Meanwhile, at Alistair's house.
After decisively fucking Akane Nanao, Alistair and Mina sent her home. However, Alistair had used his ability to "awaken" her. Although her actual consciousness wasn't entirely lucid, she was indeed "conscious" and obedient to Alistair's every command, possessing a limited capacity for thought—enough to fool her parents.
Though he did this, Alistair wasn't sure of the exact cause. He could roughly guess that the spray Tōzō (Coach Tōgō) had used on her combined with Alistair's [Pheromone] ability, causing an unknown, strange reaction that gave rise to something akin to a "second consciousness."
This second consciousness took priority in controlling her body over her original one. The fact that she could move freely but was constrained by Alistair's commands proved this, although her facial expressions were not governed by the second consciousness.
Furthermore, the second consciousness could take over and fully control the body when her original consciousness was asleep or unconscious.
However, Alistair used the term "akin to" because it was a bit slow-witted. Still, it retained memory and a certain level of logical thinking, otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to fool her parents.
"Alistair, Mom is coming back the day after tomorrow. What are you planning to tell her about Liliana staying here?" Chiaki looked at Liliana across the dinner table and asked Alistair.
Though she didn't know what good fortune Alistair had encountered today—he looked delighted—she still had to pour a little cold water on his mood. It would be difficult to explain the situation when their mother returned and saw a stranger living with them.
After all, having a new person suddenly appear in the house after being away for a few days would upset anyone.
"Hmm? That... that does pose a slight problem..."
Alistair heard Chiaki's question and thought about it. Yes, it was a bit awkward, but not a huge issue. While the situation was sudden, a simple conversation would likely resolve it.
Speaking of which, Liliana was currently living with Alistair. Inevitably, things might look a bit messy when their mother returned. Should I find Liliana a new place to live?
If so, where? His current apartment building was practically full, and he couldn't exactly kick anyone out. I should check the neighborhood tomorrow. There were several high-end apartments nearby, although Alistair's place was more luxurious for the same price, which was why his apartments never lacked tenants.
"Actually, I can discuss a shared apartment with the resident next door. I've gotten quite familiar with her these past few days."
Just as Alistair was pondering, Liliana, as the person concerned, offered her suggestion, attracting the attention of both Alistair and Chiaki.
"You got that close after just a few days? You already trust her character after only meeting a few times? Will you take me to see her tomorrow?" Alistair said with curiosity and a hint of bewilderment.
Alistair realized that since he had transmigrated, he rarely interacted with the surrounding residents. He only knew that Anna Komiya's family lived in this apartment building because of his past tracking activities.
The Komiya family was one of the few plot characters Alistair remembered, as his golden finger hadn't enhanced his memory, and the items he drew were all sorts of weird things, with not many useful ones.
"Yes, okay. I'll take you to meet Ms. Annette tomorrow." Liliana agreed with a smile.
It was already seven or eight o'clock, which was really not a suitable time for a visit, especially in Japan.
"Ms. Annette...?"
Alistair repeated the name Liliana used for the neighbor. It sounded familiar, but he just couldn't recall where he had heard it.
Ugh~
Every time this happened, Alistair wished he would draw something that could enhance his memory or deepen his recollections.
If he had that, he could be one step ahead with girls and storylines he only vaguely remembered or had completely forgotten. He could essentially claim the girls first.
Or know some key strategies for seducing girls... Wait, girls in adult visual novels don't need seduction; you just need to fuck them senseless, right? Oh, never mind then...
After dinner, Liliana went to wash the dishes, and Alistair returned to his room.
His earlier thoughts reminded Alistair of Anna Komiya's family. Her sister, Lina Komiya (he vaguely recalled the name), had a weakness that was easy to exploit.
Alistair dimly remembered that girl being discovered for doing suggestive, revealing live streams, though the level of exposure wasn't extreme—mostly intentional wardrobe malfunctions. Also, was she an tsundere or an M?
Recalling a few things about Lina Komiya, Alistair opened his computer.
Alistair only knew Lina Komiya did revealing live streams but wasn't sure which platform she used.
Suddenly, after opening his computer, Alistair didn't know where to look. He decided to just check a few suggestive websites, thinking there might be a live stream room there.
Thinking this, Alistair skillfully typed in a few websites, opened a separate page for each, and began to flip through them one by one.
As a man, it was normal for Alistair to find a few suggestive websites during his break, right? Besides, this was Japan, one of the most developed countries for this kind of business. Finding such content was easy.
After all, you don't even need to be an adult to get married here...
Click.
"Alistair-kun, come eat some fruit."
Liliana walked in with a plate of fruit. Seeing Alistair on his computer, she walked over to him and placed the plate on the side of the desk where Alistair could easily reach it.
"Alistair-kun, are you playing a game? Is this... a defeat?"
Liliana leaned down slightly, looking at the black and white interface and the downed character on the screen, asking curiously.
Alistair covered his face, his expression unknown. Seeing Alistair like this, Liliana thought he was upset about losing, so she said no more and quietly backed out, closing the door behind her.
In reality, Alistair wasn't upset. His mood was quite complicated.
The game character on the computer screen had died long ago. Alistair had been searching suggestive websites for live streams, and while he had seen many good ones, he hadn't found the one he was looking for.
Then Liliana suddenly walked in. Out of habit, he immediately and swiftly closed the web pages and switched to the previously opened game interface.
It wasn't that Alistair was afraid, but, how to put it, it was probably the lingering influence from his previous life. Still, it wasn't entirely bad; this kind of content wasn't exactly suitable for open, casual entertainment.
"Huh? Did I use the computer to open a website a couple of days ago?"
Alistair opened his history and found a few days' worth of browsing records. But if Alistair remembered correctly, he hadn't opened his browser for days.
Should I check?
Deciding to act on the thought, Alistair immediately opened one of the historical entries. It was another suggestive website, primarily focused on live streaming, and at first glance, it was full of girls in revealing outfits.
"Is that... the ace track and field member from Seika Girls' Academy?"
Alistair squinted, looking at one of the smaller windows on the screen.
