Even with chuunibyou, let's learn together!

A lazy voice suddenly came from the side, and then a tall, handsome, and cultured young man walked out from the gate in the wall next to him. He greeted Sanae and walked to her side.

"what"

When Sanae saw this person, she trembled. Not only did her voice become a little stuttering, but even the dialogue box turned pink. Clearly, this person held a special place in her heart.

A written monologue also follows.

This person's name is Fumita Kojo. He was my classmate in junior high school, and now we've both gotten into the same high school. Because we live relatively close to each other, we often run into each other on the street.

He was handsome, excelled in Chinese literature, and had a gentle and friendly personality, making him very popular at school and even earning him the nickname "Prince of the Literary Forest."

Although we get along well, and he's curious about my attitude, I don't know why... I just can't seem to handle this person.

"It's best to avoid him a bit."

Sanae lowered her head slightly, muttering to herself, then gave Kojou a smile: "Good morning, Kojou-kun, are you going to school too?"

"Yes, that's right,"

Fumita Kojo smiled at Sanae, his handsome face bathed in a soft glow: "Let's go to school together."

"Boom"

Suddenly, the sound of a heart pounding could be heard from beside her; it was Sanae's unease.

"..."

She placed her hand on her chest, remained silent for a long time before raising her head and giving a forced, calm smile: "Okay."

Let's go to school together.

The camera then zooms out, the plot jumps, and the two arrive at the school.

……

Meanwhile, outside the game, Hayakawa: "..."

Is there something wrong with this game?

Chapter 408 Almost Lovers in the Game

This game is getting weirder and weirder! The character design is definitely problematic!

Let's leave aside Sanae Kawakami for now; while there's a resemblance, it's still somewhat subtle. But what's with Bunta Kojo? A self-proclaimed "literary youth," "highly popular," and even nicknamed "XXX of the literary forest"...

Who else could this be but a character created from the original work of Fumino Furuhashi?

"I'm saying,"

Hayakawa turned to Umaru with a blank expression and said coldly, "I want to ask you, where did you find this game? There seems to be something wrong with it."

Umaru was so engrossed in staring at the computer screen that she didn't even flinch. Upon hearing this, she asked without changing her expression, "What's wrong?"

"Character names, and character settings, etc."

Hayakawa pointed at the female lead on the screen without hesitation: "First of all, her name is Kawakami Sanae."

Hayakawa then pointed to himself: "And I am Hayakawa."

Xiao buried her head and didn't reply: "Just a coincidence."

"Is this also a coincidence?"

Upon hearing this, Hayakawa's lips twitched violently. Pointing at the literary boy, he said, "His name is Fumita Kojo, and he's a literary boy. Who else could it be but Fumino Furuhashi?"

Umaru still didn't look at Hayakawa: "It's just a coincidence."

Hayakawa, his clothes gleaming with anger, asked, "Is the nickname 'Forest of Literature' also a coincidence?"

"It really is a coincidence,"

Umaru finally turned around and gave Hayakawa an innocent smile: "Don't be so sensitive."

"..."

He was about to say something, but the next second Umaru suddenly spoke.

"Ah, another character has appeared."

Umaru interrupted Hayakawa's intended words and drew his attention to the game content.

The scene shifted to a school setting: rusty iron gates, a spacious playground, towering teaching buildings, and a decorative fountain in front of the buildings, its clear water flowing freely. Everything seemed so familiar to Hayakawa, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

Upon entering the teaching building, Sanae greeted Kojou and then parted ways. Just as she was feeling relieved that she had finally separated from Kojou, she accidentally bumped into someone because she was walking too briskly.

Sanae herself was fine, but the person who was hit fell to the ground, clutching his arm and groaning in pain, "Ouch..."

"Ah, are you okay?"

Seeing this, Sanae disregarded her own injury from being hit and went over to help the person in front of her up.

"Does Qi T Ba Wu Si Lu Xia VII Qi Q even watch where he's going?"

The boy in front of her complained, his tone cold and emotionless. His mechanical and indifferent manner even made him seem a bit dull. He was the kind of person you could tell was difficult to get along with just by listening to him speak.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry,"

Sanae asked softly with an apologetic tone, "Are you hurt, classmate?"

The young man stood up, stretched his arms slightly, and said in a flat tone, "There's no problem."

It was only at this moment that Sanae realized that the boy in front of her seemed to be only about 1.4 meters tall. His small face, no bigger than a palm, had delicate and cute features, and his skin was as fair and tender as that of an elementary school student. Under his long black eyelashes were a pair of clear eyes, and thick glasses on his nose covered half of his face, giving his cute face a serious and old-fashioned look.

Ah, no wonder I bumped into him by accident. It must be because he's so short that I didn't even notice him when I was walking!

"..."

As Sanae thought about it, a smile crept onto her face, but the boy keenly noticed it, and his delicate and cute face instantly turned angry.

He pointed at Sanae: "What's your name!"

"Eh?"

The girl, Sanae, was slightly taken aback, and at the same time, the first option appeared below.

A: My name is Sanae, Kawakami Sanae.

[B: It's polite to say your own name before asking someone else's name.]

C: I'm sorry, please don't retaliate against me behind my back.

"Is there a normal answer, a firm answer, or a cowardly answer?"

Doma looked thoughtfully at the three options and said to Hayakawa, "Which one do you think is better?"

I don't think it matters which one.

Hayakawa stared blankly at the person on the screen wearing thick glasses. The person's pitiful height, tone of voice, and reaction of anger when looked down upon all seemed incredibly familiar to him.

"...Choose B."

After a long silence, Hayakawa said that he wanted to know the name of this person as soon as possible.

OK.

Umaru chose B.

"OK.

The boy frowned, and although he was holding his breath, he still answered seriously, "I am Rito Ogaya, Class C, Year 1".

"..."

Are you deliberately playing a trick on me?

Hayakawa silently turned to Doma, his eyes filled with an eerie light, as if he were about to transform into a wild beast and devour someone.

"Ahem, where is it?"

Hayakawa's dangerous gaze made Umaru a little worried. She shifted her body uncomfortably and changed her position, then said, "It's just a coincidence. Can't there be another person in this world whose name contains the characters 'Omo' and 'Ri'?"

There are no such coincidences.

Hayakawa, having reached her limit and not wanting to get entangled with her, grabbed her shoulder and pushed Umaru aside, saying, "That's enough, I'll do it myself."

After saying that, he skipped several parts of the plot and dialogue without paying much attention. Unsurprisingly, he found a storyline where the two characters were first in their respective subjects but irrationally chose to study subjects they were not good at. As expected, the female protagonist, Sanae, was asked by the principal to tutor the two. Then, he naturally discovered that Tani's family owned an udon noodle shop and that Kojo had a conflict with his father. This series of events was completely different from reality except for the gender difference. If this game was just a coincidence and not Umaru playing tricks behind the scenes, Hayakawa would eat the computer screen in front of him on the spot.

"How do you explain that?"

Hayakawa pointed at the screen, his eyes lifeless as he looked at Umaru.

"Cough cough,"

Xiaomai blushed slightly, coughed awkwardly, and then, instead of explaining directly, shrugged and said in a defiant tone, "So what do we do? Don't you want to play anymore?"

"Um…"

Hayakawa paused for a moment after hearing this, then turned his head and said, "Then let's play."

It must be said that this game did pique his interest to a tiny extent. Although he was very unhappy about his gender being switched, he still wanted to know the details and the ending.

"I'll control it myself."

Hayakawa took control of the mouse without hesitation, while Umaru, who had been deprived of her rights, made amends by tutoring the beginner Hayakawa on how to select options.

As the affection options increase, the relationship between the three characters in the game grows closer and closer, quickly reaching the level of "almost lovers".

Chapter 409 The woodcutter's knife is a gift I gave you

However, just when the affection level finally reached the standard, the plot began to take a different turn. Even though Hayakawa Ryuu, Nizumi, Shibiba, and Yume carefully chose the reasonable options for every multiple-choice question, the subsequent game content became increasingly bizarre.

And so, amidst Hayakawa's bewildered expression and trembling hands, and Umaru's suppressed laughter beside her, the game came to an end.

"You hopeless piece of trash..."

Fumino Kojo tilted her head, her eyes empty and emotionless, holding a bloodstained dagger as she slowly looked at the terrified Sanae before her: "I will never forgive you..."

"yes,"

Beside him, Rito Ogaya carried a thick, heavy iron chain, which scraped against the concrete with a harsh sound. His little head bobbed up and down, but the cuteness of the past was gone; instead, it appeared extremely sinister and terrifying in the dim light. He raised the chain high and slowly walked forward, his mournful voice echoing like a female ghost's wail in the confined space: "An irresponsible person like you..."

"He should really be locked up in a cage in the basement forever."

He raised the iron chain in his hand and put it on, while Gu Cheng, standing beside him, lunged forward with a sharp knife.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

The game ended with Sanae's terrified scream and realistic blood splattering on the screen.

A line of blood-red text slowly appeared.

【Game over】

【Youdie】

"..."

Why did it end with a hatchet?! The atmosphere between the three of us was so good at the beginning, and I took every choice so seriously. With all my hard work, I should have had a harem ending, right? Why did they all point knives and chains at me, and in the end, I was locked in the basement and turned into a pet?!

This is so strange. I've already turned into a girl in the game, so shouldn't the bleeding endings be for the male protagonist? It's really weird that I, a cute girl, got stabbed with a hatchet.

"Ugh…"

Hayakawa stared silently at the two terrifying lines of red text in the middle of the black screen, and after a long while, he let out a long sigh.

At that moment, he seemed to see his bleeding future.

It turns out that building a harem is not an easy task.

"How was it? Was it fun?"

At that moment, Umaru, the culprit, suddenly said quietly from the side, "Do you like this ending...?"

Hayakawa turned to look at her expressionlessly: "What do you think?"

"hey-hey"

Xiaomai scratched her head, stuck out her tongue, and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Sorry, sorry, was that too scary?"

"..."

Hayakawa didn't reply. He was genuinely startled. After a while, he asked, "What's going on with this game? Don't tell me all of this is just a coincidence. If there were so many coincidences in the world, humanity would have discovered aliens long ago."

"What do games have to do with aliens?"

Doma Umaru hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, but eventually told Hayakawa the whole story.
