You're an introverted shut-in who's never been in a relationship. By chance, you're pulled into a so-called heart-pounding romance game. Hoping to change your personality and find love with ease, you begin your gaming adventure.

[Man Bun, Weird Bangs: Contact Information]

You eagerly prepare to enjoy a romance, but the moment you open your eyes, you find yourself in a room full of people with no faces.

It's as if their faces have been covered with a layer of skin. Not one of them has any features.

You tremble with fear on the spot, but no matter what you do, you can't quit the game.

What kind of romance game is this?

How is this supposed to make your heart race?!

"I've never dated anyone before, but this is obviously a horror game!"

"According to the System, over the course of three games, your heart rate has surged five times. At its fastest, it reached 150 beats per minute, and your face flushed three times. Your highest heart rate was when you were beside your target..."

The System paused, then spoke as if making a major announcement: "So there was absolutely no blushing or heart-pounding, as you claim."

Hearing that, you were so angry you almost laughed.

You: So the blushing and heart-pounding came from being scared, and that's why it's called that?

System: The mere-exposure effect, so you can get closer faster and develop feelings for each other.

You: ...

[Sunglasses Cat: Request to Date]

You look at the pitch-black school in front of you and nearly burst into tears.

Do you really have to date in such a creepy place?

Please note:

A crossover primarily featuring Jujutsu Kaisen and Bungo Stray Dogs.

For various reasons, I have my own interpretation of curses. I hope you'll understand.

The main story alternates between second-person and third-person narration.

Love triangle, with a one-on-one pairing in the extra chapters.

OOC warning.

I'll delete negative reviews from readers with no record of subscribing to the free chapters. You don't need to tell me if you're dropping the story. A novel is a product, after all, and choosing a story is a two-way process between author and reader. I hope everyone finds something they like. Thank you!

Coming soon: Daily Life at Jujutsu High with a DK Sandwich

"Kiss me." During a break, you corner a certain Sunglasses Cat against the wall and say.

"What?" The unbitten piece of Kikufuku in the boy's hand is crushed without him realizing it. He seems not to understand what you mean, and turns to ask you blankly.

You point at the broken dessert in his hand. "You already accepted the thing I gave you, so you should agree to my request."

"W-what are you even talking about? How could there be a... a deal like that?"

A second later, it finally dawns on him. His ears turn red, and he excitedly blurts out, "So you've actually had feelings for your classmate all this time? You really did fall for my face, huh? But how could I possibly agree to something like that just for one Kikufuku..."

You look at the Jujutsu High student, who's rambled on and on but still hasn't given you a clear answer, and understand.

He must be turning you down.

You should go find the gentler Suguru instead.

He's so considerate, he'll definitely help you with this tiny little favor.
