Trouble.
I'm in a big trouble right now.
"ーWhat type of guy do you like?"
During a break between classes, a female classmate suddenly asked me that question.
"That's right. I wonder what kind of man Shiraori-san would like."
"Oh, that might interest me too!"
She is a relatively outgoing girl.
What's more, her voice is loud, so all the love-hungry beasts swarm her.
"After all, being handsome is an absolute requirement, right?"
"After that, is it being rich?"
"No no, tolerance is the priority."
"But even if someone has a good face, if they're not funny when they talk, they're a loser."
"I understand."
"It's really pathetic when people think that being a lone wolf is cool."
"It might look cool in 2D, but if you pull that move in real life, you'll just look like an introvert"
Wow, I haven't even said anything, but they're deciding it on their own.
The boys were nervous at first, but now their atmospheres were like that of a wake.
The cool, handsome guy who was staring blankly out the window is about to cry. Tears are gathering at the corners of his eyes.
Wait, that reaction was just a part of his character, wasn't it?
"""So, what's your type?!"""
feeling intimidated by the girls who huddled around me, I replied.
"Well, let's see... I think I prefer someone older than me since they seem more reliable."
Since I can't bring myself to say something as lame as "I don't have one" I'll just play it safe for the time being.
Of course, the truth is, no matter how old he is, how rich he is, or how good looking he is, I'd say "no thank you."
Because that'd put me in a mental yaoi.
But then if it's with women instead, that'd put me into yuri.
Please understand that we want the TS protagonist to be the reader's waifu! (Tomino-style)
"Ah, of course that'd be the case."
"Yeah. Boys our age are just brats afterall."
"You should be careful too, Shiraori-san. They keep saying that your breasts are amazing or that your thighs are the powerhouse of ecchi stuff."
Stop it! The boys' lives are already 0!
I'm also imagining myself being used as a night snack too from time ti time.
I was a man too, so it can't be helped.
I know it sounds odd to say it myself, but if a girl like this was in my school, I wouldn't be able to stop fantasizing about her.
The gaze of the introvert guy is especially amazing.
Perhaps because a standard in online romantic comedy novels is "the true face of that girl that only I, a loner, know," you can sense the obsession with somehow becoming that one-of-a-kind.
That's not a main character, that's a stalker...
Hmm, even so, I can't really get into their conversation
I don't understand why they go on and on about what's great about men.
In my previous life, no one else in the world had ever fallen in love, let alone had ever had a lively conversation about love...
◇◆◇
"ーAnd so, I'm going to play a otome game."
: How did you come to that conclusion???
: What lies beyond that is basically hell.
: That's just like an otaku trying to learn about love from dating sim.
: I don't understand why you don't rely on your senpais.
: If you want to understand a woman's heart, wouldn't dating sims be better?
: It's to understand what is attractive about men from a woman's point of view.
"That's right. Well, it's true that relying on my senpais isn't a bad idea, but it's better to gather as much information as possible, right?"
I'll ignore comments saying that the source of information is wrong.
The game screen appears on the stream.
The title is-
"So, the game I'm going to play today is this! I'm going to conquer "Doki Doki Panic! ~The Goddess' Love Will Not Break~"."
: Hmm, this is...
: The smell of a trash wafts through the air
: I saw the reviews. The average rating is 1.3. That's it.
: Alphery tends to choose stupid games over masterpieces.
"The more stupid the game is, the more exciting the stream will be. Also, with classic games, the people who just keep backseating and giving spoilers are annoying."
: I understand
: People who say things like "Well," "Here it comes," "Remember this," or "Let's go to XX," I really want them to die.
: They'll do it even if the streamer posts a pinned comment.
: Even if they get told off, they don't think it's their problem.
Fufu, the same goes for you guys who are jumping on the bandwagon at this opportunity.
With that in mind, I started the game.
The screen goes dark and the logo of a company I've never seen before appears.
"'GooD GaminG' is a bold company name."
: Yet...
: Ah (I understand)
: It didn't work out for them
Then the opening music started playing...I felt like I'd heard this somewhere before.
"Isn't this a royalty-free background music!? What is going on with GooD? God!"
: lol
: It's funny how they cuts corners right away
: I remember this opening song from a Kamishibai. (TL note: Kamishibai is a storytelling with sliding pictures)
: Another person has been left behind in the Heisei era...
: Heisei is great
: Heisei is great
"Heisei is great. Even if you call me a nostalgic person, that was the most fun time. Anime songs had no rights except for Cruel 〇gel's Thesis and Aqu○rion though."
: Heisei is great
: That's right.
: Is Hare Ha〇 Yuukai no good?
: No.
: No way~
: Do you want to be burned at the stake?
: Back then, the otaku backlash was like a storm.
: My, my magic trap...!
: That's a different storm.
"Well, then, let's get started... Let's start with the name of the main character. I think I'll let the listeners decide on that. Everyone, please write your surname in the comments section first."
Various surnames start to flow, such as Sato, Tanaka, Hasekura, Satori, and Tsushima.
"Then I'll use the decision arrow... now!"
After repeating this process twice, the protagonist's first and last name were decided.
Her surname is Tenchikaitentenjotenkayuigadokusonin.
Her name is Hanako Mk-II.
ー So it's Tenchikaitentenjotenkayuigadokusonin Hanako Mk-II.
"Yea, this is a disaster."
: That's what I thought!
: I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I never thought I'd be chosen...!
: There's a war criminal!
: Do we really have to empathize with this protagonist? (Despair)
"Well, what's been decided can't be helped, so let's go with this. Let's start the main story."
Black screen.
The next thing that was on screen was a clear blue sky and an ordinary house that could be found anywhere.
There was the sound of a girl's scream.
Hanako Mk-II
『Ahhh! I'm late! I'm late!』
Wow, this vibe is very much that of the Heisei era.
I did say that Heisei is great, but I might need to reconsider.
As I was thinking about this, the conversation switched to a monologue.
《Tenchikaitentenjotenkayuigadokusonin Hanako Mk-II! Fifteen years old! 》
"This is tough."
That thought came out of my mouth without me thinking.
《An ordinary high school student who inherited the memories and powers of the goddess who gave birth to all the gods in this world! I have mastered the supernatural powers and fighting strength of the characters that appear in the "Strongest Characters in All Genres Discussion Thread"! From now on, praise me as the strongest??? Anyone who defies me will be punished by the gods☆》
" What kind of misconception of 'ordinary' Is this?"
: What's with this character picking a fight with the thread folks?
: Don't underestimate us
: What is 'ordinary'?
Hanako Mk-II
『Kyaa!』
There was a loud bang and the view changed to blue sky.
It seems she bumped into someone and fell.
Hanako Mk-II
『Ouch! Be careful now!』
???
『Huh? You're the one who should look ahead while running, you ugly!』
Hanako Mk-II couldn't bear it any longer and yelled, but it seems the other person was feeling the same way.
A harsh response came back.
Hanako Mk-II
『Wh, what did you justー?!』
《How rude of him to a lady! I wondered what kind of boy he was and questioned the education his parents had given him, but when I looked at his face, my heart unexpectedly began to race.
Wow, he's so cool...///》
"Can you stop expressing embarrassment with slashes????"
: Guaaaaaaaaaaah!
: I understand...I understand...!
: I, I can feel myself cringing...!
: Why are these people suffering?
: A dark history that beginner authors of online novels in the Heisei era often do. It was mainly mainstream in fan fiction during the era of personal websites. Similar works include Nikopo and Nadepo.
: O-o-o-o-o-o!! (Wriggling)
: There was something like that
: Protagonist: "(Nico)" Lovers: """Pooooo/////"""
: Gyaaaaaaaaaa
: This exchange was really popular. Now that I think about it, it’s really a mess.
: It's the era when everything can be sold out.
: Young people today would never understand this exchange.
《I was so entranced by how cool he was that I got carried away and saidー!》
"Oh, choices."
① Who are you calling ugly?!
② You are my destined partner...!?
③ ーPerish...
"In a situation like this, the only option is ③."
: There's only ③!
: I know that ③ is a complete joke. But aren't ① and ② pretty bad too?
: ② makes her sounds crazy, and ① doesn't fit the context.
: Is it even possible to understand a woman's heart with this?
"You have a point."
On the screen, the main character picks up a racket and a tennis ball and serves.
The impact of the bullet caused the Earth to collapse.
The aftermath spread faster than the universe itself, even crossing the boundaries between parallel worlds.
While destroying the entire universe and all dimensions, the story still reaches a bad ending.
Stupid game lol.
After that I started over from the beginning and had a happy ending with one of the targets, but in the end I still didn't understand a woman's heart.
By the way, the protagonist's last line is "I finally understand how human feel." So, which part of any of this is 'ordinary'?
