A “homewrecker dog” refers to a guy who forces his way between a yuri couple.
The legendary homewrecker–Yuta Okkotsu–was a man heavily criticized ever since the completion of the Jujutsu Kaisen manga for breaking up two major fan-favorite pairings: the Zen’in sisters and the Yuta/Rika ship.
However, in this timeline, the female Yuna Okotsu and Rika Orimoto were childhood sweethearts.
Rui Tachibana had no idea how drastically this modified their dynamic.
He only knew that he was about to take up the mantle and become a proud, NTR-style homewrecker himself…
Otherwise, Rika was going to chew him up like a piece of gum, and it probably wouldn’t take her much effort either.
[Novice Quest completed.
Distributing rewards…] [Current available simulations: 1.
Current simulated targets: Satomi Gojo, Megumi Fushiguro, Yuna Okotsu.] [Would the host like to enter the simulation?
Yes/No] “Simulate, hurry up and simulate!
Choose Yuna Okotsu as the target!” The moment Rui spoke those words, Rthi–who had been moving so fast she was a blur to the naked eye–instantly froze in place.
Beside her, Yuna Okotsu looked as if someone had hit the pause button, completely frozen in mid-air.
“Phew…
That scared the crap out of me.” Rui’s heart was still pounding.
He hadn’t been sure if the system’s simulation included a time-stop feature; he had just taken a massive gamble.
Luckily, the system turned out to be pretty reliable.
[Loading simulation.
Drawing Heavenly Restrictions and traits…] [Traits drawn successfully.
Please choose two of the following traits as your talents for this simulation.] [Peerless Potential: You possess potential as immense as Megumi Fushiguro’s.] [Devour Me: You gain a massive boost to your cursed energy, but your flesh and blood become irresistibly enticing to Jujutsu Sorcerers.
The greater your cursed energy, the stronger the temptation.] [Playboy: The probability of triggering chaotic love-triangle/harem drama is increased.] [Binding Vow of Ultimate Sacrifice: You have one, and only one, chance to self-detonate, sacrificing your life to briefly unleash overwhelming power.] [Core of Cursed Energy: Your probability of landing a Black Flash is slightly increased.] [Jujutsu Succubus: Your attraction toward female Jujutsu Sorcerers is increased.] Choosing two out of six traits…
Rui didn’t hesitate for long.
He immediately selected “Devour Me” and “Binding Vow of Ultimate Sacrifice.” Even though he didn’t know if his real-world self would inherit these traits after the simulation ended, “Devour Me” was the only option that could instantly convert into raw combat power.
The system description promised a massive boost to his cursed energy, so surely Rika wouldn’t be able to swat him like a fly on the side of the road now, right?
As for the “Binding Vow of Ultimate Sacrifice” trait, Rui figured that the simulator’s final rewards might scale based on achievements unlocked during the run.
If he could use a self-detonation to take down a major villain in the simulation–like Kenjaku–he’d probably rake in a ton of points.
Hell, maybe he could even step up to Sukuna, slap him across the face, and yell: “Innate Technique Liberation: Desperate Binding Vow!
See ya later, brat, you’re the challenger here!” Man, that would be incredibly satisfying.
[Traits confirmed: “Devour Me” and “Binding Vow of Ultimate Sacrifice.”] [Commencing simulation.] [Simulation Target: Yuna Okotsu.] [Initial Status: Filled with Guilt.] *Filled with guilt?* Rui thought about it.
It was probably because Yuna couldn’t control Rika, causing the cursed spirit to attack him.
Given her hyper-introverted, self-deprecating personality, it wasn’t surprising she’d internalize it like that.
[You open your eyes to find Yuna Okotsu staring blankly at you.
Rika, who was on a rampage just a second ago, has also stopped moving.] [Though you don’t know why, you decide to seize this chance to run away and call Ms.
Gojo from Jujutsu High to handle this.
Whether the vengeful spirit in front of you is a Grade 1 or a Special Grade, it’s clearly way out of your league.] Rui frowned, sensing something was off.
“Hey system, does the ‘me’ in the simulation not know who Rika is?” [Replying to host: The simulation suppresses the host’s memories regarding the Jujutsu Kaisen manga and the system itself.
All deductions are driven by the host’s innate personality.
Certain branching paths will be left to the host in reality to decide.] *Ah, got it.
It’s a text-based visual novel with branching paths.
Pick the right option, and you get to unlock special CGs.
Total gal-game mechanics.* “Carry on, system.” [Just as you prepare to flee the scene, Rika’s massive silhouette suddenly vanishes from your line of sight.] [A pair of invisible, massive hands pin you down.
You realize Rika has moved behind you at supersonic speed.
Her inhuman, monstrous strength leaves you utterly unable to move.] [*I’m gonna die*–just as this thought crosses your mind, Rika strangely makes no further move.] [Instead, Yuna Okotsu, who had been dazed a moment ago, comes staggering toward you.] [Under the dim moonlight, you see her slender body trembling slightly.
Her pale, almost sickly face is flushed with an unsettling, feverish crimson.] Uh…?
What’s the meaning of this?
[The effects of “Devour Me” have been triggered.] [The primal temptation of the “food” has temporarily overwhelmed Yuna Okotsu’s consciousness.
This desire is so intense that it forces the normally uncontrollable Rika to become entirely submissive to her whims for the moment.] [Right now, she only wants to open her mouth and consume you.] [You feel a sudden dampness on the side of your neck.
Something soft and warm glides gently across your skin, sending a wave of goosebumps down your spine.
You try to turn your head to look, but your vision is blocked by Yuna’s messy, long hair–she has buried her face entirely into your neck.] [Immediately after, a hard sensation presses against your skin.
You know exactly what that is–teeth.
Yuna is biting into your neck…
If this continues, you really are going to be eaten alive by a high school girl you just met.] [But Rika’s endless cursed energy pins you down completely.
No matter how much you struggle, it’s entirely futile.] [Do you wish to use Binding Vow of Ultimate Sacrifice?
Yes/No] “Right off the bat, you want me to pull a Megumi and go ‘With this treasure I summon’?
I swear, system, you’re just Fushiguro reincarnated.” Rui hesitated for a moment, deciding to hold his ground for now.
After all, a bite to the neck wasn’t immediately fatal for a Jujutsu Sorcerer.
As long as the wound wasn’t too deep, he could use cursed energy to staunch the bleeding.
If he really needed to fight for his life, it wouldn’t be too late to blow himself up once she actually started tearing flesh.
[However, the anticipated pain never comes.] [You turn your head again to look at Yuna Okotsu…
Just like when you first saw her in the classroom, she is crying.] [It’s a suppressed, agonizing sob, laced with deep terror, as if she’s desperately trying to hold onto something.] [While maintaining her position of lightly biting your neck, her tears stream down continuously.] [“I’m sorry…
I’m sorry…
I, I can’t control myself…
It’s all my fault.
I ruined you, and those people hurt by Rika, it must…
it must all be because of me…”] [“So…
please, stranger…”] [She points at the short cursed tool dagger strapped to your waist.] [“I already…
no, I must have been born cursed.
My existence is nothing but trouble for everyone, and I can’t bring anything good to anyone.
Even right now, I’m biting you and I can’t let go…
So I beg of you.”] [“Right here…
please kill me.”] [Your choice?
Act / Do Not Act] “Well, obviously I’m choosing ‘Do Not Act.’ That’s how gal-games work; you gotta build up the heroine’s affection level to trigger her hidden backstory event.
Anyone who kills the heroine right at the start is playing a horror game.” Rui waved his hand dismissively.
[However, before you even have a chance to say anything, a deafening explosion echoes right beside your ear.] [It’s a sound that is entirely too familiar to you.] [“Cursed Technique Reversal: Red!”] [The Rika behind you is instantly blasted away by the repulsive force, crashing violently into a nearby wall.] [This particular “Cursed Technique Reversal: Red” seemed to hold back a tremendous amount of power; otherwise, even a Rika with boundless cursed energy would have been severely injured.] [You look toward the source of the sound.] [Under the clear, star-draped night sky, the Child of God–no, the Goddess of God–hovers in the air.] [The Goddess casually takes a bite out of a zundá-and-whipped-cream-flavored Kikufuku Mochi, looking down at where you are…
before her movements freeze, and with a loud *pfft*, she sprays the pastry right out of her mouth.] [“Huh?!
Rui, what the hell are you doing cuddling on the floor with a girl you just met?!”] —
