**Day 28 Morning Inn White Weirdo Pervert Meeting**
Haruka-kun already left to go out.
We need to hurry with the meeting—emergency resolution time.
"So yeah, Haruka-kun's target is definitely the pheromone ring. The maybe-raises-opposite-sex-favorability ring! Therefore—let's destroy the dungeon!"
"""No objections!!""" Everyone cheered.
It was decided. Dungeon demolition. Unanimous. Full consensus. Dissent not tolerated!
"No, we can't destroy it!"
"We'll get yelled at! The guild will yell, the town will yell!"
"Eh? Why would a ring make us destroy the dungeon?"
Tch! Oda-kun and the others—who usually never join meetings—are suddenly opposing.
"Ah… come to think of it, Haruka-kun once said the reason he gets yelled at even when he's not doing anything wrong is because his opposite-sex favorability is too low. I think."
How can he still believe he's innocent after getting yelled at that much? Why would that connect to opposite-sex favorability?
More importantly—what is he planning to do if he raises it even higher?
Build a harem?
No, definitely not.
Because he ran away from a cave that was basically a twenty-girl harem situation and chose to live alone in a tent.
When I got close to that tent, he backed himself into the wall corner…
Above all, he's already dominating five people. He can order them to do anything. Beautiful high-school girls. But he does nothing. Absolutely nothing. Has zero intention of doing anything. Still doesn't remember anyone's names. Doesn't even try.
What does he even want?
For what purpose…? Necessary?
Could it be… is he seriously, earnestly, genuinely convinced that the reason he gets yelled at is because his opposite-sex favorability is too low!?
He probably is. He has to be! He's definitely thinking "I'm not doing anything wrong?" and "They yell at me? Guess I'll go get that ring? Kinda?"!
How can he put everyone through so much worry, make everyone cry so hard, drive everyone to despair, then come back with a completely normal face, make everyone burst into tears again—and still think he won't get yelled at?!
For now, at least he probably won't do anything sketchy.
Definitely nothing shady.
But giving it to Haruka-kun is dangerous. Dangerously dangerous.
At this rate, everyone could end up dominated.
Not forced domination—self-domination.
In reality, we're already basically his believers… Everyone has survived up to now by believing in Haruka-kun.
If he raises favorability even more in this state, it'll be catastrophic.
No good. Absolutely can't let him have it.
The most dangerous part is probably that he himself hasn't noticed the danger.
He doesn't know what everyone went through while he was gone.
He doesn't know what everyone was like the night he came back.
He doesn't know that this inn, this town—everything—was on the verge of flooding from everyone's tears.
If Haruka-kun had stayed gone…
Our tears would have flooded this whole world.
