### Summary
The latest chapter shifts to a family vacation, sparking significant reader controversy with a scene where Jerry is forced into a shared bath with his older brother, Eins. This event is widely interpreted as a forced plot point driven by the game's "system" and its uncomfortable "incest routes," generating a mix of disgust, frustration, and high-strung comedic embarrassment from the audience. The scene magnifies Jerry's personal anxieties, focusing on his mortification over a lack of body hair, which he comically equates with his "man credibility." This awkward familial intimacy serves as a stark contrast to the preceding chapter's events, where Jerry vehemently rejected Fourth Prince Ilya's confession. Despite his claims of not liking men and his relief at Ilya's absence from the trip, reader comments note that Jerry is privately counting the days since their "friendship broke," revealing his unresolved feelings. The chapter effectively uses this cringe-worthy scenario to underscore Jerry's powerlessness against the game's mechanics and his own self-deception, leaving readers simultaneously amused by his predicament and exasperated by the narrative's logic, such as the wealthy family inexplicably sharing a single bathroom.
