I Use My Skills to Raise the Police Academy Squad's Affection for Me

Upcoming novel in the author's collection: The Whiskey Group Lives Next Door to Me -- Xingye Nana, a graduate student in psychology at Tokyo University. On her birthday, she received the hottest otome game, mailed from the 22nd century by Dorami. The Love Story of Red and Black. Multiple romanceable characters and a thousand high-definition CGs! But just after she entered the game and finished drawing her character card, a hacker attack locked her in the game. System (corrupted): Player, raise everyone's favorability and get the ending where everyone survives, and then you can leave the game! Xingye Nana was speechless. "Could you stop making a big deal out of yourself?" As soon as she entered the game, someone tied her up with electrical wire and threw her into a phone booth rigged with a bomb. A young, handsome, curly-haired police officer had to make unavoidable physical contact with her while trying to defuse the bomb, but his favorability didn't budge. She tentatively said to the curly-haired officer crouching in front of her, "Forget it, Officer. Your safety is more important. Give up." The curly-haired officer, still young and hotheaded after recently joining the Bomb Disposal Unit, raised his head and looked at her with a complicated expression. "Are you saying you think I can't defuse this bomb?" System: Favorability -1 Later, Nana encountered the romanceable characters who were undercover in the criminal organization. Three of them were Scotch and Bourbon from the Public Security Bureau, and Rye from the FBI. At first, Xingye Nana poured her heart out to them as they discussed how best to serve the criminal organization. After Nana and the sniper Scotch successfully completed an assassination, she made him a cake to celebrate. Scotch smiled warmly and reached out to smooth Xingye Nana's disheveled hair. "The cake Nana made is delicious." Xingye Nana: "Then I'll make a cake after every mission we complete!" Scotch: "Sounds good." Unbeknownst to her, beyond her sight, Scotch's gaze at Xingye turned dark and murderous. While carrying out a mission with Bourbon from the organization's intelligence unit, Xingye Nana placed some confidential information in front of him. "This time, we can definitely take out that traitor!" Bourbon saw the information he should have kept concealed laid out in black and white before him. Fighting the urge to knock Xingye Nana out and take her straight to the Public Security Bureau, he pinned her against the cold wall and brushed his fingertips over her gaunt cheek. "Nana's information-gathering skills really are impressive." Xingye: This is way too intimate! At the training ground, Rye held Xingye by the shoulder, their skin touching. "Lower your arm and brace the gun against your shoulder." Xingye: This is going way too smoothly! Just when Xingye thought her progress was excellent, the System announced: Scotch, Bourbon, and Rye all have negative favorability. Player, please take your objectives seriously. Xingye was completely stunned. After analyzing things and taking the System's hints, she concluded that all three men were undercover agents! To raise their favorability, Xingye Nana maxed out her skill levels. At Asai Apartments, Xingye Nana grabbed Hagiwara's hand and ran with him out of the bomb's blast radius. "Officer Hagiwara, this isn't where your career ends." On the Ferris wheel, faced with the deadly trap set by the bomber, Xingye Nana jumped from high above with Matsuda in her arms. "Officer Matsuda, there isn't a bomb in the world you can't defuse. You can't die here." On the rooftop, Scotch's cover was blown, and he was preparing to kill himself. Xingye Nana snatched the gun from his hand and pressed hers to his chest. "Someone as kind as you shouldn't die in the darkness." During a mission, Xingye Nana was injured while saving a hostage. She clutched her wound and fell into Bourbon's arms. "Don't hurt innocent people..." When the organization moved to arrest Rye, Xingye Nana drove recklessly to draw its other members away from him. They met again at night, and she smiled brightly. "I believe the FBI can defeat the Black Organization." System: Congratulations, Player! Everyone's favorability has reached 80. Finally, the day of the final battle between the Black Organization and the police arrived. Xingye Nana used all the items she'd won by unlocking CGs earlier and successfully achieved the happy ending where everyone survived. System: Congratulations, Player! You've maxed out everyone's favorability. You may now exit and enter the game freely. Back in the real world, Xingye Nana let out a huge sigh of relief. But just when she thought her life was returning to normal, the characters she'd romanced began showing up one by one. Matsuda grabbed her shoulders. "Xingye, have you forgotten your promise to me?" Hagiwara twirled her hair around his finger. "Nana, I still have to take you street racing with me." Bourbon trapped her between the wall and his chest. "Nana, you promised you'd come work for the Public Security Bureau." Scotch held her hand, his fingertips rubbing her palm. "Nana, I promised I'd help you open a dessert shop." Rye tugged at her arm, bossy as ever. "The FBI needs you." Faced with five people demanding payback, Xingye Nana decisively chose to run. But the romanceable characters teamed up and took Xingye to the interrogation room! They demanded, "Xingye/Nana, who do you really like?" The long-silent System spoke again: Notice! The worlds have finished merging. System: Friendly reminder: Romanceable characters with a corruption level above 50 have been detected. Player, you're on your own. Xingye looked at her hands, bound by handcuffs. Boohoohoo┭┮﹏┭┮ She didn't want to choose. All she wanted now was to finish her thesis! Reading Guide: 1. A love-rivalry story. The pairing will be decided in the extra chapters (the ending is one-on-one). 2. The heroine is kind by nature, but may resort to some underhanded tactics to return to the real world. 3. Chapter One contains more detailed content warnings. 4. Hagiwara does have scenes. I just don't know where to put them in the blurb! Let me think about it. 5. The blurb has been revised, but all the plot points mentioned in the previous version will still appear. Don't worry! 6. There will definitely be some OOC. Everyone interprets the characters differently (my survival instincts are at maximum). Theme: Stand firm in your convictions and never forget your original aspirations.
