[Dr. Stone] Starting a Dating Sim with My Childhood Friend

Yun Yi played an otome game over the holidays. She'd heard that you could focus on childhood friends and win over the boy next door, and since she never had one herself, she loved playing childhood-friend routes.

You could choose only one love interest on each route.

Yun Yi started out as a proper true-love devotee, but as she played, she noticed a major problem.

The childhood friends on every route always came in pairs...

An Asian girl who moved to the US (the player) × the genius boy next door... and the gorgeous boy next door with an incredible fighting ability.

The heiress of a conglomerate, engaged since childhood (the player) × her sunny, cheerful childhood friend... and his timid, reclusive otaku older brother.

Yun Yi: "..."

Is this right?

At last, the third scenario...

There were still two childhood friends.

But the other one had a girlfriend, so all she had to do was win over the top student who never cared about romance.

Just as she was finally getting close to winning over the third childhood friend...

The world ended.

Not the game, but the real world she was living in.

That day, every human turned to stone.

The game didn't matter anymore.

Not knowing which hero had saved her,

Yun Qing was successfully freed from petrification. She was about to squeeze out a couple of tears and offer her heartfelt thanks,

when she saw the six childhood friends from the game standing in front of her, and fell silent.

Wait, weren't you game characters?

And why do you all look like you know each other? Maybe she should just leave.
