An Extra’s Rise in an Eroge

"Kyaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!"

Arthur was jerked awake by a piercing scream.

His eyes snapped open as he instinctively reached for a weapon—only to realize he was completely naked.

Sitting up, he blinked groggily, trying to locate the source of the noise.

And there it was.

Eveline was curled up, a blanket wrapped tightly around her, her face twisted in shock and outrage.

Alicia, rubbing her eyes beside him, groaned, clearly just waking up.

She blinked at him in confusion.

"Good morning, Arthur…?" Her drowsy voice trailed off as she scanned the room. Then her gaze dropped to his bare chest.

Her eyes widened.

"...Why the fuck are you naked in my room?!"

Then, she turned and saw Eveline, equally naked, looking just as bewildered.

"Eveline?! Why are you here?!"

"That's what I want to know!!" Eveline snapped, hugging the blanket tighter around herself. She turned her glare toward Arthur, her expression a mix of anger and horror.

"Arthur! What is the meaning of this?! Why did I wake up naked beside you?! What did you do to me?! And why the hell does my lower body hurt?!"

Alicia froze. Her sleepy brain finally processed something very, very wrong.

She glanced down.

Realizing she was naked too, her face twisted in disbelief.

Slowly, her gaze rose back to Arthur, her voice now low and utterly disappointed.

"I did not expect this from you, Arthur…"

Arthur felt his eye twitch.

"The hell are you talking about?"

Alicia crossed her arms, shaking her head like a disappointed mother.

"When you said you could make the saintess fall for you in a week, I didn't think you'd choose… this option."

"Wait, WHAT?!" Eveline snapped her head toward Alicia.

"Make me fall for him?! What do you mean by that?!"

Arthur finally had enough.

"SHUT UP!!!"

His voice boomed, making both girls flinch.

"Will you let me fucking explain first?!"

A tense silence filled the room.

Arthur took a deep breath, pinching the bridge of his nose.

This was going to be a long morning.

"First of all, why don't you guys get dressed first?" Arthur said, rubbing his temples. "It's… kind of distracting, you know."

Alicia and Eveline exchanged glances before looking around.

"Where are our clothes?" Eveline asked.

Arthur awkwardly pointed to the floor, where a mess of discarded clothing lay scattered.

Alicia sighed, recognizing her shirt. "Of course," she muttered before standing up to retrieve it.

Eveline followed suit, but as soon as her foot touched the floor, she winced in pain.

She stumbled, nearly falling—Alicia quickly caught her.

"Careful," Alicia murmured, steadying her.

Eveline frowned in confusion at the sudden ache between her legs. Then, instinctively, she glanced at the bed—her gaze froze on the bloodstain.

Her breath hitched.

Silence.

Alicia followed her line of sight. Her eyes narrowed. She glanced at Arthur, who was calmly buttoning his shirt, seemingly unbothered.

A deep sigh left her lips.

'If he doesn't have a damn good explanation for this…'

Even if she loved him, if he had forced himself on the saintess, that might be unforgivable.

Fifteen minutes later, they sat in tense silence in the living room.

Alicia and Eveline sat together on one side, watching Arthur warily as he leaned back against the couch.

Arthur exhaled. "We have classes in few hour, so I'll keep this brief."

The girls nodded. "Alright."

Arthur's eyes sharpened. "First—tell me the last thing you both remember from yesterday."

Alicia tapped her chin, frowning. "Hmm… Eveline and I went to the slums to check on the laborers we hired."

Arthur nodded. "Go on."

Eveline spoke next. "On our way back, we got ambushed by some lowlifes—"

"—but before anything could happen, you showed up and saved us," Alicia finished.

Arthur's expression remained unreadable. "And after that?"

Alicia squinted in thought. "We got into your car to return to the academy. You were driving."

"Yes," Eveline agreed. "I even remember talking to Althea on the way."

Then her brows furrowed.

"…But after that, it's all hazy."

"Yeah, me too. From the middle of the journey onwards, my memory is all hazy," Alicia admitted.

She turned to Arthur, eyes narrowing. "Did something… happen?"

Arthur sighed. "Yeah. But first, I need to ask you something."

"When those scumbags attacked you, did they feed you anything? A potion, some kind of liquid?"

At his words, realization dawned on their faces.

"Wait… yeah," Eveline muttered, her brows furrowing. "I was handling them easily, but then one of them threw some weird liquid on me."

Arthur's eyes darkened. "And after that?"

"My mana—it went completely erratic. I couldn't control it at all. And then… my body started heating up, acting strange."

"Same here," Alicia added, her expression tense. "They forced me to drink some potion. I felt weird after that."

Arthur nodded. "Good. That makes this easier to explain."

He sighed before continuing, his tone serious.

"I think you were both drugged with an aphrodisiac."

Arthur rubbed his temples. "Midway through the drive, it started kicking in. You two were all over each other in the backseat—kissing, groping, tongues entangled—"

"KYAAAAH!!" Eveline screamed, her face turning bright red.

"T-That's enough!!" Alicia added, burying her face in her hands.

Arthur cleared his throat. "Ahem. Anyway… in that state, I couldn't take you back to the academy without causing a massive scandal. So, I brought you here—one of the Ludwig family's private estates."

Silence.

Then, after a few seconds, Eveline's voice trembled.

"…That still doesn't explain why you took my innocence."

Arthur leaned back, crossing his arms. His voice was calm, but there was a hint of irritation.

"Hey, don't pin this on me. It wasn't my fault."

Both girls stiffened at his words.

"You two jumped on me first. And as a healthy man how can I keep my calm in such situation."

Eveline's face twisted in disbelief. "Liar."

Arthur sighed and pointed at her. "Oh really? You don't remember grabbing my cock the moment we got to the bedroom?"

Eveline gasped, her cheeks turning red. "T-That never happened!!"

Arthur then turned to Alicia. "And you? You were the one who started giving me head."

Alicia's eyes widened, and her face flushed crimson. "W-Wait… I—"

Arthur smirked. "Oh, but that's not all." His gaze flickered back to Eveline. "And you, Saintess, don't act all pure and innocent now. I've seen your true colors."

Eveline clenched her fists. "Y-You're making this up!"

Arthur leaned in, his tone dropping to a teasing whisper.

"You were clinging to my arm while I was fingering you—practically sobbing for me to go deeper… to add more fingers."

"SHUT UP!!!!" Eveline shrieked, her whole body trembling from embarrassment.

Arthur rolled his eyes. "Oh? Suddenly, you're the victim?"

Eveline gritted her teeth. "I—I would never do something so shameless!! You must have taken advantage of my intoxication!"

She pointed a trembling finger at him. "I heard Alicia earlier—claiming you could make me fall for you in a week! You must've seen this as an opportunity and—"

"—And what? 'Defiled' you?" Arthur interrupted, his voice sharp with irritation.

Eveline flinched.

"Alicia, you believe me, right?" Arthur asked, turning to his girlfriend.

Alicia hesitated, biting her lip. "I… I don't think Arthur would do something like that."

Eveline scoffed. "Of course you'd take his side! You're his girlfriend! Getting fucked by him is normal for you. But for me—"

Arthur exhaled loudly in frustration, rubbing his temples.

Arthur sighed, rubbing his temples. "I can't believe this. How can you accuse me of something like that?" His irritation was evident.

Then, with a smirk, he muttered, "If I had known this would happen, I would've recorded everything… you begging to be pounded senseless."

The room fell silent. Eveline flinched, her face burning with embarrassment.

And then—

[Well, you actually could.]

Arthur stiffened as Sol's voice echoed in his mind.

'…Do what?' he asked, puzzled.

[Show her.]

'Show her…?'

[How vulgar they were acting last night.]

Arthur's eyes widened. 'Wait—how? Are you serious?'

Sol giggled. [Of course. Everything related to a system mission is recorded. And last night's 'activities' fell under the mission: [Purify the Saintess].]

Arthur's lips parted in shock. 'Wait, wait—so you're saying…'

[Yes. The system recorded everything. Normally, it's for system evaluation and reward calculations, but I can send it to you—for a small cost of 10,000 EP.]

Arthur's smirk widened. 'Do it.'

[Transaction complete~ Enjoy.]

Arthur stood up without a word. Eveline and Alicia watched as he walked into the bedroom, grabbed his AetherPod, and came back, sitting down with a completely new expression.

Confidence.

Smugness.

Vindication.

He placed the AetherPod on the table, tapped the screen, and smirked.

"I just remembered something. I actually did record last night—fearing exactly this kind of situation."

Eveline's eyes widened in horror. "W-Wait… Y-You… recorded?"

Arthur pushed the device towards them.

"Why don't you check for yourselves… and see exactly who took advantage of whom?"

Alicia swallowed hard. Eveline, her face pale, hesitated before slowly reaching for the screen—her fingers trembling.

And then—

The video started playing.
