My Childhood Friend Is a Cursed Speech User

[Currently revising the story. Not recommended for new readers.]

I, Tsujimura Toru, got into big trouble on the very first day of high school.

"A boyfriend? Of course I have one!"

To fit in, I couldn't help lying.

Just then, my childhood friend, whom I hadn't spoken to in years, unexpectedly messaged me.

This is the perfect solution!

So I immediately called him.

Me: "Can you be my boyfriend?"

Inumaki: "Salmon roe!? (Huh!?)"

Me: "I just mean pretend for one day. Please!"

Inumaki: "Dried bonito flakes. (In that case, I refuse.)"

Me: "Are you deciding what to eat on our date? Okay, okay, I'll write that down!"

In the end, he became my fake boyfriend, and not long after, he was promoted to the real thing... Huh??

Promoted to the real thing???

When she was young, frail Tsujimura Toru spent several years at her grandmother's home in the countryside.

That's where she found herself a childhood friend next door.

But her bargain-bin childhood friend was always taciturn, and the words he said most often were comforting ones: "You'll get better."

Tsujimura Toru: "You're so young, and you're already spouting cliches!"

But when her health improved, she had to return to the city. Before leaving, she went to the big house next door once more, smiling brightly. "I'm leaving!"

Inumaki took her hand. His was just as soft, but his eyes glistened with tears, shining and wet

"We'll be together forever."

"All you have to do is become a ray of light in his life."

"I know, the light of justice, right?"

"No, no, Host, don't hit him! You have to heal him with love!"

"Oh, no problem. I'll heal him with the iron fist of society."

Luan Wei transmigrated into the heroine of a redemption story, complete with a System.

The original male lead, Gu An, was a brilliant young man, but family upheaval and an unhappy childhood eventually led him down the path of crime, until he became an enemy of humanity.

The System told her that her mission was to redeem the high-IQ criminal Gu An and set his values straight.

But after failing for two full rounds, Luan Wei flipped the table.

(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻ I'm done being the heroine of this redemption story!!

Seeing this, the System panicked and tried to reason with her.

Luan Wei: Heh.

[Advance notice for a short novel] I'll Struggle to Survive by Drawing Scripts

[Old-school transmigration story]

The summer after the college entrance exams, at the peak of your intellectual powers, you transmigrated.

Right after arriving in this new world, you had the bad luck to run into a curse in an alley.

The twisted monster approached step by step, like the Grim Reaper coming for you.

Then a white-haired boy with a pair of clear blue eyes descended like a god and saved you.

And in the very next moment, you heard a voice in your mind

[Beginning script draw...]

[Script acquired: No Escape ~ A Love Beyond Compare with the Six-Eyed Genius]

You: !? (Eyes shaking with shock)

But that was only the beginning.

Later, you met the arrogant heir of the Zenin family. His eyes full of scorn, he said, "I really don't know what Lord Gojo sees in you."

You: Heh. Don't blame me if I draw a script.

[Script acquired: This Is Love! The Emotionless Girl and the Tsundere Fox Boy]

As time went on, you became more and more skilled at drawing scripts.

[Script acquired: Dokidoki~! Even Curses Fall in Love!]

The human-shaped curse, who had been smiling dangerously just a moment ago, suddenly changed expression. Curiously, like a child, it cupped your face. "So this is what it feels like to like someone?"

*

You rely on your special ability to struggle through this dangerous world, while also looking for a way home.

Then one day, you brushed shoulders with a man wrapped in bandages.

Your special ability stopped working

Your former boyfriends and fiancees(?) all came looking for you. It seemed your old lovers had recovered their memories.

The human-shaped curse smiled brightly. "You look a lot like her."

You: "..."

*

The Zenin heir gripped your chin with a nasty smile. "It's only your face that looks like hers."

You: "...?"

*

A certain head of the Gojo family took off his blindfold, revealing his clear blue eyes. "So it was you, "

You: "...!?"

Your special ability stopped working, but not completely.

Only later did you realize that they all thought you were a stand-in.

You excitedly slapped your thigh

I'm an expert in stand-in romance!
