Uncle from Another World: Our Secret Nights – An Adult IF Route
One day, Takafumi finds an old videotape in his uncle Yusuke's room while he's unconscious. Playing it back, he discovers it contains explicit records of his uncle's 'secret relationships' with three heroines from the other world of Gran Bahamul—relationships no one else knows about.
The first to appear is the tsundere elf. Initially cold, she is drawn to his love for the Sega Saturn. On a stormy night, alone with him at an inn, she clings to him with a sweet voice, saying, 'Just for tonight, l
Uncle from Another World: Our Secret Nights – An Adult IF Route - Uncle wakes up, and the second tape — want to see what happens next?
The static on the TV screen felt like it was stabbing into his eyes.
Takafumi sat on the floor, unable to move. In his lap, the hand holding the remote was still trembling. The sensation of his finger pressing the stop button moments ago lingered vividly.
She'd said "Elysia."
That silver-haired elf had buried her face in Yuusuke's chest. *Just for tonight*, her voice had been hoarse. The woman who'd always kept him at arm's length with cold eyes — she'd looked like a completely different person.
(*Uncle, that was really...*)
His thoughts wouldn't come together. The core of his head felt hot and numb. Takafumi exhaled deeply and dropped his gaze to the pile of tapes scattered across the floor. The first one, which he'd just finished watching, was still sticking halfway out of the deck. The hand he'd used to pull it out was still trembling a little.
Outside the window, the afternoon sun shone down on the apartment parking lot. The sounds of reality — a distant car engine, the laughter of a TV leaking from some other room. All of it felt terribly far away right now.
On the bed in the corner of the room, Yuusuke slept quietly as always. Three weeks, and his sleeping face hadn't changed at all. But until just now, Takafumi hadn't been able to see it. Inside this uncle's head, a world like *that* was packed full. Encounters like *that* — they might have really happened.
"...You've gotta be kidding me."
His voice was hoarse.
Takafumi stood up and picked up one of the tapes from the floor. The label had "Granbahamur — Elf Arc ②" scrawled on it in messy handwriting. The marker ink was slightly faded, bearing the marks of having been handled many times.
(*The second one...*)
Watch it, or don't watch it. Reason told him not to watch. Snooping into someone's privacy was the lowest of the low. But his fingers moved. The desperate thirst to know what happened after he'd stopped the video — it surged up from the pit of his stomach.
Uncle, and that elf.
What happened after that?
The sound of the deck swallowing the tape echoed through the room, far too loud. Takafumi sat back down on the sofa and leaned his body against the backrest. The palm gripping the remote was slick with sweat.
He pressed play.
The static vanished.
What appeared on the screen was a small, stone-built room. Outside the window, it was dark, and the sound of rain was fierce. An inn in the middle of a storm — that was the feeling. The light of a lantern hanging on the wall dyed the room orange.
Yuusuke sat on the edge of the bed. He looked to be in his mid-twenties. His back was straight, and there was a strong light deep in his eyes. He was a completely different person from the stubbly, perpetually sleeping figure of today.
And beside him was Elysia.
Her silver hair, reaching down to her waist, shimmered gold in the lantern light. Long, pointed ears. Her deep green clothes were slightly damp, the area around her shoulders darkened by the rain. She was facing Yuusuke, gazing intently at him. Her jade-colored eyes, which had been so cold, were now wavering with an incredible softness.
Unconsciously, Takafumi leaned forward.
"...Yuusuke."
She spoke his name. Just a single word. But in that voice, the prickly tone from before was already gone.
She reached out both hands and tightly gripped the clothes on Yuusuke's chest. With enough force to turn her fingers white.
"Yuusuke, Yuusuke..."
She repeated it. As if calling his name was the only thing she could do right now. She leaned her whole body against Yuusuke, and her silver hair spilled down, spreading across his arm.
"Not just for tonight... forever. Become mine, and mine alone."
The low, whispered voice flowed into the room. It was a sound full of possessiveness, yet somehow tinged with unease.
Takafumi stood up from the sofa. He took a step back from the TV. His face was hot. He could tell himself that his ears were bright red.
(*Wh-what is this...*)
It was even more intense than the end of the first tape. Even more raw.
On the screen, Elysia slowly raised her body. She stared intently into Yuusuke's eyes, then reached a hand toward her own shoulder. Her slender fingers pinched the ribbon that fastened her deep green clothes.
The ribbon came undone.
The cloth slipped from her shoulder, revealing white skin. Her silver hair tumbled down, cascading around her collarbone. Elysia's cheeks flushed slightly, but she didn't avert her eyes, continuing to gaze at Yuusuke.
Yuusuke placed a hand on her cheek. Their faces drew closer.
Takafumi covered his face with his arm.
"I can't watch this..."
But he couldn't completely close his eyes. Through the gaps in his arm, he kept stealing glances at the screen. The sound of rustling clothes. The faint sound of cloth falling to the floor. A sweet, sigh-like voice from Elysia flowed from the speakers.
Deep in his chest, something tightened painfully.
(*I'm jealous.*)
That emotion, far more clearly than before, struck his chest like a heavy weight.
Uncle was wanted this much. In another world, by a beautiful elf like that, having her clothes taken off. Just by talking about the Sega Saturn, he'd opened her heart that much — could something like that really happen?
It would absolutely never happen to him. Even though he was sure of it, he couldn't tear his eyes away. He absolutely couldn't pull his gaze from Elysia as she undressed on the screen.
Yuusuke's hand touched her bare skin.
The footage approached its most vivid scene — at that very moment.
"...Nngh."
Takafumi jumped.
From the bed behind him, a stupid-sounding voice had come. He spun around. Yuusuke, who hadn't moved a muscle in three weeks, had raised his upper body. His stubbly face was staring blankly up at the ceiling.
"N-no way..."
His voice cracked.
Yuusuke slowly turned his head and looked around the room. Then, looking at Takafumi's face, he spoke in a hoarse voice.
"It's been a while, Takafumi."
Then his gaze shifted to the TV screen.
The image of Elysia was still playing on the screen. It was the scene where she was baring her shoulders and trying to embrace Yuusuke.
Takafumi frantically grabbed the remote and pressed the stop button. But it was clearly too late.
Yuusuke, still with his just-woke-up face, raised the corner of his mouth.
"You were watching."
"N-no, this is, uh..."
The words wouldn't come. His face was bright red.
Should he be happy? Was he going to get yelled at? Before any of that, how was he supposed to explain this situation — his mind went completely blank.
Yuusuke sat on the edge of the bed and stared intently at the frozen screen. Stroking his stubble, he grinned.
"...Do you want to see the rest?"
Takafumi's mouth opened and closed wordlessly.
"N-no, not really..."
A lie. His face gave everything away.
Yuusuke chuckled quietly, then his expression suddenly turned serious.
"All of that really happened."
Something stabbed into Takafumi's chest.
"It's not a dream or a delusion. Granbahamur exists."
It was a shock. Maybe even more than when he'd watched the footage. Reality or delusion — the man himself had just answered that question.
"If you want to hear it, I'll tell you. About Elysia, about Noel, about Siena — everything."
Takafumi clenched his hand tightly in his pocket.
"...Who'd want to hear it?"
Even as he said it, he pulled up a chair and sat down facing Yuusuke. The hands he placed on his knees were still trembling.
Yuusuke poured water from the pitcher by his pillow into a cup and took a sip. Then, slowly, he began to speak.
"When I arrived in Granbahamur, the first person I met was Elysia. Right in the middle of the Fortesia Great Forest. Seeing me lost, the first thing she said was—"
Takafumi picked up the label of the third tape from the pile.
*Granbahamur — Elf Arc ③ — The Forest of Fortesia*
Yuusuke gestured with his chin.
"Play the next tape. The third one. Our first meeting is all on there."
Takafumi stared hard at the tape in his hand.
(*Why only Uncle...*)
Deep in his chest, jealousy and longing mixed together into a tangled mess. His hands trembled. Inside his ears, the sound of his heartbeat pounded noisily.
On the bed, Yuusuke smiled quietly. The static on the TV screen flickered in the corner of the room.
