Because her family is poor, Yuki Yuki drops out of school right after graduating from middle school.
While working part-time to save money, she unexpectedly receives an offer for a full scholarship at a school. But on the day she enrolls, she discovers she's been tricked!
The school has pitifully few students, and every teacher and classmate is deep in the throes of chuunibyou!
The white-haired teacher wears an eyepatch in broad daylight to look cool, strikes poses at every opportunity, and calls himself "the strongest in humanity." Her classmates are just as bad: one is the prince of rice-ball fillings, another is a spiritual panda, and yet another shouts at an imaginary friend named Rika...
Maybe she should just drop out.
But... Yuki glances down at the countless zeroes after the scholarship amount and finally closes her eyes, accepting her fate with a heavy heart.
Fine. It's just chuunibyou. She can play along, can't she?
And so, the teachers and students at the technical college, unaware of the truth, witness the following with their own eyes:
On a mission, they encounter a cursed spirit far above their grade. Yuki throws herself into danger to save her juniors, unleashing the mysterious technique she has never shown to outsiders: Martian Curse Script.
"Thou who harmest my juniors, I shall make every last one of you pay!"
At the sister-school exchange event, Yuki curls her toes into the ground in embarrassment, then transforms dramatically in front of the entire school.
"I am Yuki Yuki, Ice Mist Love, Snow Dream Moon Cherry Blossom, Phoenix, Wound Tear Spirit, Blood Sixteenth Night, Nicholas... Her Majesty the Queen."
Mere mortals, get on your knees!
After enduring several indescribable years, she finally makes it to graduation. Yuki Yuki tosses away her special-grade student ID and bolts.
Goodbye, technical college! I never want to play along with your cringe again!
The truth is, chuunibyou makes her break out in hives!
[Blurb for the forthcoming novel, My Dad Summoning Simulator]
After work, overworked office worker Sakurai Azuki enters a prize draw and wins a [Jujutsu Kaisen Simulator]. Before selling it to a secondhand shop to recoup her losses, she figures she might as well give it a try. Then she discovers...
The money she earns in the simulator can be transferred out and added to her real-life bank balance! Wow, what a deal!
Heart pounding, hands trembling, Sakurai Azuki taps the button to enter the simulator. But she's so excited that she runs out of the beginner village without learning any skills and bumps into two monsters in the middle of eating people.
Ugh! Help! Why are the simulator's special effects so realistic?!
Just as she's about to be eaten, she frantically mashes the skill button and summons a beast...
The one who appears is Toji Fushiguro, dead for many years. Huh?
Sakurai Azuki points at the cursed spirits charging toward her, eyes brimming with tears. "Summon! Get rid of them!"
Toji Fushiguro turns and walks away.
You've got to be kidding. Who does she think she is, ordering him around...
Why are his fists moving on their own?
After a series of twists and turns, Azuki finally figures out her cursed technique, [Limited-Time Comeback], and starts earning money with her summoned beasts. But after spending a while in the simulator, she realizes that its world seems different from the one she originally knew, full of dangers and darkness ordinary people can't see, and...
The more dangerous the dirty work, the faster the numbers in her bank account climb!
Yahoo!
Once she lets go of her morals, Azuki's wallet gets so fat she can afford to add two chicken drumsticks to her lunch. The people she summons, however, are left feeling conflicted.
The former Heavenly Restriction user, forcibly brought back to life to work: What kind of bizarre mechanic-monster summoner is this?!
The former first-grade sorcerer, who opens his eyes in the cycle of reincarnation only to be told to go back to work: ...Thanks for asking, but work is total crap!
The former technical college teacher who died in the final battle: I've been dead for ages, and there's a technique that can yank a resurrection card straight out of the underworld?!
[More summonable characters to unlock]
Now a master of the simulator's secrets, Sakurai Azuki exploits game bugs to make money. One day, she finally breaks the simulator. But she doesn't care: she's already financially independent, and confidently returns to the office to resign. Then she discovers the company has been acquired, and her new boss looks awfully familiar...
Help! Isn't that one of her former summoned beasts?!

Reader's guide:
1. This story could also be called [Me, Who Can't See Any Special Effects, and All of You, Who Are Nothing but Special Effects].
2. Not a wish-fulfillment story, and not a typical everyone-loves-the-heroine story. The author writes whatever comes to mind.
3. There will be lots of old-school tropes.
4. Please don't say negative things about the original characters in the comments. I'll quietly delete them, sorry.
Theme: Hold your head high and face life with a smile.
Yuyu can copy the curse spell by painting the curse lines on his face, so what if one day he sees the mark on Hu Pi Nuo's face and draws it on a whim [Loading]
Yuri: The chuunibyou in this school turns out to be a rich person. Why do wealthy families often suffer from chuunibyou? (Welcome to Entering Science).
Hahahaha Yuri: What should I do if my classmates and teachers all have chuunibyou? Students who witnessed Yuri's high school second grade quotes: What should I do if I have a second grade student disease at the same time as the special grade?
According to the behavior and character of the heroine, what kind of high school is a reliable "mother"? She has a gentle personality, is good at taking care of children (sister), has strong abilities (invalidation), and is always the first to do things. He cares about his companions very much. In order to protect his companions, he will restrain his former tenderness and go crazy to fight off all enemies (beating the oranges to pieces). She is so reliable, she has been everyone's mother since childhood. And she's not the perfect, inaccessible type, she also has flaws (can't see spell spirits, bad physical skills). And often such shortcomings make people feel that she needs me and we are the same. I just don't know what the people in Kyoto think? Sister school exchange scene: "Holy crap, let's fight two specials? Really or not?"
Although my toes are digging into the ground, to be honest, Yuri is so handsome😳
It's so painful to laugh. I've eaten [Orange Candy].
Yuri: Do rich people have chuunibyou now?
[Orange candy] I got it [Orange candy] I got it [Orange candy] I got it [Orange candy] I got it
Yuri: What do you mean? Squeeze out the poor?
It's okay, go find Nanami and ask.
