The World I Was Supporting Was Real

Episode 35. Found

* * *

――Clap clap clap clap.

The sound filling the room is applause.

A unique, crisp sound that only someone who is so overwhelmed that they must stand up can make, coming from deep within their heart.

“Tore it apart…”

This was my impression after watching this episode.

Eirene von Einzberg. I liked her from the moment she appeared.

A well-ripened figure, a chest so large it draws attention, a neat yet very s*xy look with asymmetrical blonde hair tied up and one side falling down.

What is reflected in her blue eyes is a hidden innocence within coldness. The grand journey of someone who did not know love, who did not believe in love, until she came to trust someone.

Others might say otherwise, but I could declare it here.

’36 years old… a beautiful age…! A sufficiently beautiful age! Not a chicken coop! Well-ripened!’

Eirene-chan! You’re not old yet! You’re still young enough!

In fact, what does age matter? As long as you’re pretty, with firm skin and a big chest, that’s enough.

In reality, Eirene looked young enough to be believed to be in her early twenties.

Let’s create sweet and sour memories together! Even from now on!

I’ll always be watching over you, Eirene-chan!

―Sniffle.

Tears welled up again, pathetically.

I cried when Igun died at the end too.

Strictly speaking, he didn’t actually die. They said something plausible about a piece of God… but that’s me.

The author created a service character based on my face.

Because I liked Eirene, they made Igun appropriately as a favor for the money they received.

‘Haa…’

Was it thanks to the character Igun?

My level of immersion felt different from the stories so far.

Until now, it felt like- the feeling of an absolute being orchestrating the world. That is, the feeling of looking down from the perspective of a god, helping the characters on their journey.

Even when I saw Erin praying every day, thanking me, or when I saw Luca deciding to walk forward despite the harsh fate that lay ahead of him— I felt like my support made them happy. In other words, there was a sense of fulfillment from feeling like an absolute being.

But Eirene was different.

Blushing at a character with the same face as mine, asking to be petted, and thinking about what it would be like to have a baby…

To be honest, it felt like I was dating Eirene.

When she laughed, I couldn’t help but giggle along with her. When she cried, it felt like my heart was being torn apart.

And when she said she loved me—it’s silly, but my heart really did start pounding.

I admit, it’s a story that invites ridicule.

But isn’t it true that people who love comics and novels are the type who easily get overly immersed?

Especially when the author creates a character with my face and wraps it in a ripe wine romance—how could I not fall for it?

The part where she crushed the enemy with a “thwack-thwack!” at the end was funny, though.

My brain almost turned into “thwack-thwack.” Thwack-thwack… Thwack-thwack hates sweet potatoes…

[ Igogodon: Author, author ]

[ Igogodon: This episode was so good ]

[ Igogodon: But was the “thwack-thwack” at the end because I paid for it? ]

[ PleaseGiveMoney: Yes ]

[ PleaseGiveMoney: The will of the gods is absolute ]

[ PleaseGiveMoney: Whatever it is, as long as it’s possible, it must be done ]

[ Igogodon: What kind of trials would I have faced if I hadn’t paid? ]

[ PleaseGiveMoney: I can’t say for sure as it’s an unobserved part, but… ]

[ PleaseGiveMoney: I cautiously predict that Eirene would have been captured, and her faith would have been continuously betrayed, shaking her belief in the keyword ‘faith’ ]

[ PleaseGiveMoney: Of course, she would overcome the trials in the end ]

[ PleaseGiveMoney: Looking at the result, it seems that the current method was more suitable for Eirene’s faith corruption. As expected, you have a keen insight, Igogodon ]

That development would have been a bit boring, for sure.

Not just boring, but frustrating to the point where I might have whined.

I acknowledge the kind-hearted rat.

[ Igogodon: Anyway, this episode was so delicious ]

[ Igogodon: Ah… I love Eirene so much ]

[ Igogodon: Honestly, at first, I thought about asking to make her two years younger by introducing the concept of full age ]

[ Igogodon: But 36 is fine… It means Eirene has 36 years of accumulated existence, right? That’s great ]

[ Igogodon: But author, I feel like I have to say this ]

[ PleaseGiveMoney: What is it? ]

I took a deep breath.

And after confidently typing “tudadada,” I hit Enter with a click.

[ Lee Guo-guodun: Given that we’ve made this much progress, I think it’s only right that there should be a pure love s*x scene with Ailene. ]

Let me clarify, though—this was in no way my personal desire.

It’s just the heart of a reader hoping the author will enhance the narrative’s overall completeness.

Because of Ikeun, Ailene came to trust people for the first time. She came to understand what it meant to know a man and to love him.

So, wouldn’t it be logical to wrap things up with a pure love s*x scene?

A scene where, after trusting each other, they connect even more deeply and passionately as proof of that trust. Shouldn’t that naturally be there?

Whether Ikeun looks somewhat like me or not is undoubtedly a secondary issue.

[Give me some money: When you say “pure love s*x,” are you referring to s*xual intercourse? ]

[ Lee Guo Guo Deon : Yeah, yeah. ]

[ Ikeun: Wouldn’t it be possible to draw a pure love s*x111 scene, where Ikeun shows Ailene, the 36-year-old woman who doesn’t know men, what it means to be with a man? ]

[Lee Guo-guodun: I think all the plausibility has been covered. If it’s not too difficult, I’d really like to see it. ]

Of course, I was also planning to prepare some funding.

How much would be needed, I wonder?

Since I’m asking for a rather explicit scene, I’d probably need to provide quite a bit.

At the time I was checking how much “ammo” I had loaded up.

[Please give me money: I’m sorry, but that’s difficult. ]

To my surprise, I received a rather firm reply.

[Lee Guo-gwon: Oh? So, is it difficult to depict such a direct scene? Well, if you don’t want to, I won’t push you. ]

It’s a bit disappointing, but from the author’s perspective, asking for everything just because I’m offering money is a bit much.

It’d be rude to keep pressing the author who’s creating such a delicious comic for me, right?

Feeling unnecessarily apologetic, I gulped down some cold water in silence when—

[Give me some money: That’s not it. Ailene is the woman you love, isn’t she? ]

[ Please give me some money : And Ailene loves you as well. ]

[Please give me money: Ikeun is a piece of God, a fragment of the divine. In some ways, he’s like a god. But, he can never become a true god. ]

[Give me some money: I believe Ailene’s first time should, of course, be with you, the one she loves. ]

Pfft!

Started by the author’s absurdly deep immersion in this world, I accidentally spat water on my monitor.

[Lee Guo-guodun: What the hell, hahahahaha, what kind of nonsense is this hahahahaha]

[Lee Guo-guodun: How am I supposed to take that, hahahaha]

Author-kun, it’s impossible to actually meet a manga character!

[Please give me money: I’m serious.]

[Please give me money: As an observer, I want to respect both Miss Eirene’s feelings and Mr. Iggoden’s feelings.]

[Please give me money: Therefore, I think it would be difficult to induce such a situation.]

[Iggoden: Haha, how am I supposed to get in there? Hahaha.]

[Please give me money: Why do you think that?]

Huh…?

[Please give me money: If there is divine power, nothing is impossible.]

[Please give me money: It may be difficult right now, though.]

I suddenly got chills, wondering what kind of nonsense this was, but— it was only for a moment.

‘The author is probably just saying that to avoid flat-out rejecting me, since it’s a bit awkward.’

Late 20s.

Having reached an age where I could understand the author’s true meaning was no hard task.

If they outright said, “No matter how much money you give me, I can’t draw explicit scenes. I’m sorry,” wouldn’t the world we’ve been immersing ourselves in completely collapse?

The author was a pro. A proper pro.

It was easy to see now how they would carefully dodge and refuse, speaking in a roundabout way, in a manner fitting the world they had immersed themselves in.

[Iggoden: Haha, okay, I got it, no need to worry too much.]

[ Please give me money: With that in mind, I’d like to ask… ]

[ Please give me money: If Mr. Iggoden would like it,]

[Please give me money: Shall I observe Miss Eirene’s bath scene and send it to you?]

[Iggoden: Huh?]

[Iggoden: A bath scene… you mean, her getting in the tub???]

If you draw it, I’d be thankful.

I did watch those 5-10 minute cuts repeatedly, because it turned me on so much, but just as I was thinking that…

[Please give me money: Of course, I will remove the steam.]

[ Please give me money: I’ll make sure to provide it from enough angles so you can enjoy Miss Eirene fully.]

!!!!!

Remove the steam… ?

Are they offering me an ‘uncensored Blu-ray edition’ right now?

[Iggoden: Wait… is that even possible??]

[ Please give me some money: As you can see, Lady Eirene’s body and heart belong entirely to Lord Igguigidon. ]

[Please give me some money: Lady Eirene wouldn’t have any objections, so I believe it’s not impossible. ]

[ Please give me some money: What do you think? I will act according to Lord Igguigidon’s wishes. ]

Thump, thump.

Suddenly, my heart began to race wildly.

No, get a grip! This is just a comic! It’s just an animated character!

Even if they say that, it’s just them asking, “If you’re that interested, should I give you a picture?”

But why do I feel such a sense of betrayal?

Why… Am I feeling this tense?

… … gulp.

I swallowed dryly, took another sip of cold water, and after taking about three deep breaths, I cautiously…

[ Igguigidon: ㄱ ]

That night.

I finally came to understand women.

* * *

Somewhere.

Crunch!

Crunch!

—The divine power.

Always sweet, the divine power.

—Ecstatic, the divine power, no matter when experienced.

I almost became strange due to the sudden influx of support, but…

Still, somehow I managed to handle it and move on. This too must be the grace of Lord Igguigidon.

Lord Igguigidon was satisfied.

—Lord Igguigidon loves our world.

The only love of the divine.

—A warm-hearted figure who embraces a world that everyone else has turned away from.

Igguigidon!

—Everything is for Lord Igguigidon.

They slowly gazed after satisfactorily devouring the ‘divine power’.

The more they consumed the power, the clearer their forms became.

They could think more deeply and do more things.

They did not yet have eyes. But they could gaze.

That is the divine power. Making the impossible possible.

―Observing an undetermined future is a difficult task.

Observing the future of Eirene, who is being re-educated, was extremely difficult for them as well.

If they attempted it recklessly, they would lose their existence.

―But it is something that must be done.

Handling time is, in other words, handling dimensions.

―It is something that must be done to realize the words of Lord Igogodon.

The fragment of God spoke.

「Let’s meet again when the moment God manifests in this world comes」

The words of the fragment of God are the words of God.

The words of God have power in themselves.

―The words of Lord Igogodon.

Something wobbled and moved.

The will of God filled their mental world.

「Honestly, at first, I thought about introducing the setting of being ten thousand years old and making it two years younger」

The terms used by God.

The sentences used by God.

The media that God is exposed to.

They fall into thought.

Using the remaining divine power, they dare to investigate the realm of the great Lord Igogodon.

It was a task that required an enormous amount of time for beings who merely used the divine power… but it had to be done nevertheless.

Because the words of God gain power in themselves.

… … Found it.

Is it you, Igwogwodon?
