How to Play the Strange Healing Character Game

Updated irregularly, powered by love~

[Pairing undecided, and there might not be one even by the end. First-person POV]

The early chapters are a little wordy, so I recommend starting with Chapter Two.

Blurb:

I'm a middle school student, bored to death during summer vacation. Luckily, a buddy helped me out, and I started playing a healing game.

I opened the game, and the settings popped up.

[Please choose a character template:

Black Mud Monster

Bitchy Cat

Mr. Orange

Narrow-Eyed Guy...]

I don't know much about anime, but after weighing the pros and cons, I decided to pick a man named Satoru Gojo. He looked well-behaved and handsome, the description said he was powerful, and it was obvious at a glance that he was a gentle, lovable kitty.

A kitty! That would definitely be really healing! It fit the game's theme so well!

I muttered under my breath: My buddy said narrow-eyed people are all monsters...

After I made my choice, another box appeared.

[Please choose your first person to heal (Note: You must complete ten healing targets to finish and enter the next world):

Narrow-Eyed Guy (Recommended)

Black Mud Monster (Choose with care)

Kind Russian Rice Ball (Choose with care)

Mr. Orange (Recommended)

Smoking High School Girl (Recommended)

Smart Detective (Recommended)

Bitchy Cat (Unavailable)

...]

...Looks like the Black Mud Monster and Kind Russian Rice Ball are really difficult. They aren't even recommended.

That was what I thought after looking through the list.

I should probably pick Narrow-Eyed Guy. For some reason, he just seemed like the right choice. The Kind Russian Rice Ball looked like a good person, with his gentle smile, but my Chinese teacher always says, "Listen to advice and you'll eat well!"

Absolutely not. I couldn't pick him! I tapped "Narrow-Eyed Guy" and moved on without hesitation.

Another box appeared right after.

[Please choose your starting world:

Bungo Stray Dogs

Jujutsu Kaisen (Recommended)

Kuroko's Basketball

Demon Slayer

Detective Conan

...]

...This was a little tough. Pick the recommended one... No, I had to be rebellious!

In the end, with my buddy's help, I picked Bungo Stray Dogs and set a bunch of other things. At last, I entered the game.

[ World: Bungo Stray Dogs

Player character template: Satoru Gojo

Healing target 1: Narrow-Eyed Guy

Healing target 2: Locked

Healing target 3: Locked

...]

And then I saw----

[Purebred Fragile Black Mud Monster

Healing difficulty: ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆…]

Me: ...Is there really no limit?

[Passing Kind Rice Ball

Healing difficulty: ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆…]

Me: ...Could it be like this for everyone?? Forget ten, I can't even handle one?!!

[Good Samaritan Mr. Orange

Healing difficulty: ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆]

Me: ...Oh (sniffle)... an angel!!

[Your best friend has left you, and you are devastated. Please choose:

A Have a good cry, then choose a new target

B Yell: "You jerk!! I can live without you!!"

C (Smirks seductively): "Hmph! You have successfully caught my attention, man!" ]

Me: ...Is this really a healing game? Or is it some kind of stupid comedy?

And another thing!! Why did the Dazai I worked so hard to raise turn dark so easily, huh!!!

This garbage game is doomed!!!

Summary: [You are the gift fate gave me, and I am the salvation that came too late]

Theme: Ah, this wretched inspiration~
