Reincarnated in a depressing erotic world but living a normal life (right?)
Free day and expansion

Hello everyone!!

"Mmm~... I feel great!"

After celebrating my birthday and having partied like there was no tomorrow almost all night, I'm back to 100 percent! And I already know what you're wondering: do you remember everything that happened last night? To that, I'll answer with a resounding yes! Honestly, it feels good to come home, have fun, and not have a mysterious time lapse in your memories about what happened the night before, after so long.

"Although the house was quite full..."

"What did you expect after you increased the number yourself?"

".... Mom?!"

What is Mom (possessed) doing in my room at this hour?!

"Why are you reacting as if you saw a ghost? In case you haven't noticed, it's already noon."

"Huh...? Is it that late?!"

I can't believe I overslept! I need to hurry and get everything ready now!

"Where do you think you're going?"

"To get up?"

"Of course, we agreed you were going to rest all day today, yesterday, remember?"

"....."

Now that I think about it, I vaguely remember agreeing to something like that while trying to devour the gigantic ice cream Sara had prepared before Echidna.

"Well, with that said, enjoy your day off."

And with those words from Mom (possessed), she left after ruffling my hair with a smile...

"It would have been a nice and emotional moment... if she hadn't been naked..."

Yep, throughout the entire conversation, Mom (possessed) was naked as usual, I guess, but if she was going to do something like that, she should have worn some clothes! Doesn't this kind of ruin the mood?!

Haa... Forget it. In fact, I'm already quite used to that state, so maybe it's not a problem? What's more, that just means everything's back to normal!!

"But... just to be sure... I'll take a look around the house..."

<"If you're going to do that, remember to ask for a guide.">

"Do you really think I need a guide to be at home, Echidna? I mean, this house isn't a mansion or anything like that!"

<"You're right about that, after all, this place is my divine territory.">

"What...?"

.... I think I heard something important just now, didn't I? (escapism)

"Hey Echidna, just to confirm... What did you say?"

<"Mmm.... I said this is my divine territory.">

(PAN SMASH!)

"Are you doing this on purpose?!"

('WE ARE EXPERIENCING TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES PLEASE WAIT A MOMENT')

Ahem... Sorry for that small interruption, so let's continue!

After a bit of "discussion" with Echidna, I discovered the shocking truth that Echidna, using her power, took control of this area, turning it into what she called her own "divine territory." And before you ask what that is, I'll explain. You see, a "territory" seems to be a space that deities create or designate where they manifest their powers and existence with greater force, and where different rules apply than in the world!

With that information, I know you'll wonder why Echidna placed one like that in my house. And well, the answer to that, according to her own words, was...

To expand the number of concubines!!

Yep... Just as you heard... Haaaa... Well, that explains why the house felt bigger on the inside than it looked from the outside...

"You could have told me you were expanding the space all this time!"

<"What are you talking about...? I told you!!">

"Huh...?"

<"I told you on multiple occasions, remember?">

"......"

At that moment, I concentrated, looking into the past in an attempt to remember...

"It never happened?!"

<"The first time I told you I was recovering my powers and how I could soon extend my territory, but your response was: 'Just a second, Echidna, I'm almost getting the armor of darkness for Raina!' While you were playing!">

"...Well, that... I was a little distracted..."

<"Then I told you I was placing it, only for you to ignore me saying: 'Stop, Darcy, you have to take a bath!' while you kept chasing her.">

"I was obviously busy!!"

<"So what about the last time, when I told you in the dungeon while you were considering whether or not to take the ones you called commanders, when you only replied: 'Burning things is so fun~!' while whipping and burning that human in your training?">

"......."

Okay... Looking back, I have to admit that maybe... I forget the world around me when I'm doing something... However!

"All those examples were from situations where I was busy!"

<"In that case, what's your excuse for that time when I told you directly to your face?">

".... You did?"

<"Yes, while you were hiding, watching what you called a 'romantic comedy' in real time on your school's rooftop, only for you to tell me to shut up, saying: 'Not now, Echidna, I think they're finally going to kiss!' while eating popcorn.">

"I AM SO SORRY FOR THAT!!"

... I'm not going to defend that last one. I waited a whole damn year to see that scene and I don't regret it!

"...How about we pretend nothing happened?"

<"Before that, I think you're aware of the retribution, right?">

".... Inhale, exhale... Okay... Please use Brian (the pan) to do it..."

<"You named it too?">

"I name every pan I meet."

<"........">

"What...?"

<"Nothing... Well, I guess I'll enjoy doing this.">

"I just ask that it be quick and maybe painless!"

<"I won't promise anything.">

(PAN SMASH!!)

"Argh!!"

('We are experiencing technical difficulties, we apologize for the inconvenience')

For the first time since I was born into this world, I finally understood the pain of being hit by a frying pan...

"I think I'm enlightened..."

<"I'm sorry I overdid it!">

"...No problem, it happens to me often."

<"Now I can understand why you're so addicted to doing it.">

That's how Echidna joined the (newly formed) faction that promotes hitting people with frying pans, and we mutually forgave each other... But why do I feel like I'm forgetting something...?

<"By the way, when are you going to read the diary?">

"I remembered!!"

It was only when I heard Echidna that I remembered why the hell I entered that literary world in the first place! With everything that had happened, I had forgotten!!

Haa... But should I waste my day off reading it...?

"Mmm... I've decided! I'll leave the answers for later. For today, I'll relax by taking a stroll around the house!"

Procrastinator? No, no, no, no! I'm just taking things easy before I have to deal with more problems! Besides, knowing the house is bigger than it looks, it's not a bad time to explore it!
