Ori no Naka - Ch. 12 - After the Dream

[danbellucci]

Yay thanks so much for the quick chapter!!

Gomi continuously screaming "AAAAAHHHHH" the first half of the chapter made me lol so much.
But Yumezora is feeling a bit like a "manic pixy dream girl" or a kind of harem lead. she doesn't feel very real as a personality or character, it's more like she's something that only exists to fall in love with the MC and the rest of her character is built around that even if it doesn't make that much sense.
Also, it feels weird her saying "let's have sex next time". Because to Gomi, Yumezora saying that she wants to have sex with him should probably activate his monkey brain and just put his hands on her and bang her right then. I mean if the most gorgeous girl you've ever spoken to says she wants to have sex with you then most men are going to be overcome with lust and worry about her being married later.
You could try and say "well Gomi calling her disgusting spoiled the mood so they probably both want an exit and not to go further" But her getting turned on and saying "lets have sex next time" and Gomi getting turned on in response shows that the atmosphere wasn't really ruined at all and they both want to bang and are alone so the thing that would make sense is for gomi to start kissing her and taking off her clothes.

But I understand that it's funnier to have him agonise for longer.

If she goes to police with that video she will be the one who goes to jail, because, unlike MC that didn't break any law( yes, what he did is disgusting, but not a crime ), she set up a hidden camera in the freaking TOILET

This. If mc wasn't so dumb he would know that such recorded footage can't be used as evidence. Also he just could sue her. She recorded him masturbating without consent - the clear case of stalking and sexual harassment. The good attorney could take something big from it. But, well...

Bro, you don't know how virgin's brain works. If Gomi comes to the real deed with Yumezora it's almost guaranteed that he won't do anything. He is clearly afraid of her. His fright + typical mature virgin's issues with 1st sex + all his secrets exposed + his issues with Yumezora being married = no sex. You saw that in earlier chapters when he was very horny, knew nothing but didn't lay a finger on her.

I know he's a degenerate for what he did, but I can't help but feel bad for him.

MIght not be used as evidence but society would destroy him either way. And he is terrified of that since the very beginning.

What society? Transfer to the other city and you'll be fine.

that's different. he held back from touching Yumezora before because he didn't know whether she wanted to be touched by him and whether she'd be creeped out or upset etc and he didn't know how to initiate having sex with her.
But now she's said "let's have sex next time" which means she's saying that she wants to have sex with him so that worry before is gone. the natural thing to think is "well if you want to have sex with me next time we meet outside of work, then you must want to have sex with me, so why wouldn't she want to have sex with me now?"
So the only thing holding him back from having sex with the girl of his dreams right then are ethical considerations.

Is he locking in or is he in copium mode? either way MC please entertain us more.

 

[rephikul]

She's fine as she is!

 

[Hootanic]

She's fine as she is!

Truth! She's basically laid it out there, "I'm awful, you're awful, we're all awful... so why not just like, make the best of it since we both have feelings for each other?" Honestly, in this fallen world, that's pretty good?

Does he really feel something for her or just being horny?

 

[ysarro]

So many stories I read and have read are enjoyable, but I can't really embrace them. They're too... "clean". They don't feel like they could happen in any reality.

This is the sort of slimy, awful story that I can really open up to. The characters are terrible people in their own ways, but not like they kick puppies or anything. They're just the sort you can comfortably look down on in some aspects.

I want to know more about them. See them rise above, or be totally debased. Or both.

Why the fuck do I keep reading this? 😑

Thanks for the upload.

Honestly.... i don't even know, whatever place this lead I'm in.

Wild ride.

He probably wouldn't be torn up about sleeping w/ her if he was just horny. He seems to really like her - told her he loved her, asked her to be his girlfriend, is now considering the "be her hero" delusional.

But her getting turned on and saying "lets have sex next time"

This is a control thing - she knows she's got him if he consciously makes the choice to seek her out again. It's a lot easier to write off as impulse if they sleep together in the moment.

Poor guy, he is just delusional. It's very virgin thing to make any women goddess, who showed even a small piece of interest.

 

[story645]

to make any women goddess, who showed even a small piece of interest.

What's interesting here is she's doing the same to him - making him her prince on a white horse. It's pretty common for folks in abusive situations.

Thanks for the translation.

Part of me knows it's trashy, but I honestly dig this toxic romance where neither of them have a moral high-ground lol.

Also, I think Yumezora might be lying about her husband, or at least not telling the entire truth. Wouldn't be surprised if Gomi is just one in a long line of guys she's fallen for in the hopes that they'll "save" her from her marriage. After all, she did say last chapter that women tend to dislike her, so maybe there's more to that than she implied.

Maybe she's done this blackmail schtick before on other guys (some of who might have been entirely innocent), and the reason she's turned on by Gomi collecting her pads is that she doesn't need to have a guilty conscience about it this time. "He's just as bad as me, and that's kinda hot!" or something along those lines.

But Yumezora is feeling a bit like a "manic pixy dream girl" or a kind of harem lead. she doesn't feel very real as a personality or character, it's more like she's something that only exists to fall in love with the MC and the rest of her character is built around that even if it doesn't make that much sense.

I mean, Yumezora is just as fucked in the head as he is lol. If we're to take her at face value, she literally fell for a guy who basically said hi to her one time and she became completely fucking obsessed with him. If a pixie dream girl is a female lead who "fixes" the MC by falling for him, Yumezora seems to be the polar opposite where she (probably) makes him worse.

As for Gomi not wanting to fuck her, well he clearly did want to before she dropped the nuke that she's married and literally recorded him jacking off into her pads lol. That's a fairly understandable reason to go "ayo hold up" imo.
