DokiDoki Love Sorcery Battle Conquest Game

[A little plug for my upcoming Haikyuu!! fic, Ordinary Passerby A. Blurb at the end.]

Usuda Arisa opened a full-dive romance game advertised as "the most heart-fluttering romantic experience."

An utterly ordinary daydreaming romance prodigy, she was sure she'd breeze through it before she even started.

[Target One: The Golden-Haired Heir of the Zenin Clan]

A sharp-tongued beauty, gravely wounded and on the brink of death, encounters the player.

She has superhuman strength, punching a tree clean in half.

She's devious, brewing strange potions from the livers of cursed spirits and snake gall.

She's outrageously bold, threatening him and shaking him down for a hefty sum.

Zenin's young heir: "..."

He endured the humiliation, swallowed his anger, and glared at her murderously.

He decided he would eliminate this menace once he returned to Kyoto.

Sell her off! Sell every last one of them!

He got his wish and finally ditched her.

Then he noticed the Heavenly Restriction Tyrant had joined her side.

Zenin's gaze turned gloomy. Gritting his teeth and swallowing his pride, he tugged at her sleeve.

"...Stop looking at him. Look at me."

[Target Two: The Black-Haired Cursed Spirit Manipulator]

Young Geto encounters the player.

She has a box of cookies and forces them into his arms, getting his name wrong, yet claims she wants to be his best friend.

The cookies are awful, but kindhearted young Geto still decides to be her friend.

But at some point, a white-haired Six Eyes suddenly appears between them.

Childhood friends become someone else's childhood friends in the blink of an eye.

Young Geto: "...Wait, does this make any sense?"

Then they enroll at Jujutsu High.

That summer is unbearably hot and bleak.

Instinctively, the boy turns to her as a refuge who will indulge his every whim.

"Will you comfort me?"

His fox-like eyes droop as he presses his face fondly against her soft belly. His weary, fragile expression makes him look utterly pitiful.

[Target Three: The White-Haired Six Eyes Prodigy]

The player meets Gojo, now a teacher.

He stands tall and straight, like frost clinging to trees in a forest. When he smiles, his eyes curve into crescents, and he looks effortlessly refreshing.

With a system item in her pocket that supposedly guarantees a 100% success rate at starting a relationship, she decides to go all in.

"I really like you, so I want to be your girlfriend."

"Are you going to choose to become my boyfriend of your own free will, or do I have to make you?"

Things go fairly smoothly.

...But strangely, the previous targets have started looking at her differently.

[Reading Guide]:

1. The pairing is undecided, and the original story's plot will be changed considerably.

2. OOC warning. There are a great many personal interpretations.

3. Not a wish-fulfillment story. A silly, cheesy Mary Sue romance.

Upcoming Book

Haikyuu!!, but I'm Just an Ordinary Passerby:

[This is sudden, but in short, you're about to die!]

You: ...Huh?

*

You're a fragile, unlucky high school girl, an utterly ordinary passerby in a manga world.

The day you were hospitalized with a concussion after being struck by a volleyball, you bonded with a glowing orb called [Romance Simulation Dream Workshop].

The System tells you that in half a month, your terrible luck will get you hit by a runaway truck and killed.

And your entire appearance in the manga amounts to a tiny scribble in the appendix:

A very brief background news report.

Looking back on your unlucky life, you can't help but feel overcome with grief and weep on your hospital bed.

Fortunately, the System shows you a way to survive:

Complete its romance simulation mini-games, earn Heartflutter Points, and exchange them for a chance to stay alive.

Sobbing, you open the simulation system.

Round 1:

[After school, you go to the volleyball club to see your boyfriend, the setter.

Unfortunately, the moment you open the door, a stray volleyball smacks you right in the face and knocks you down. Your blond boyfriend rushes over and asks if you're okay in a Kansai accent.

You decide to, ]

Looking up at his tall frame, you clutch your dizzy head and say shakily:

"Your killer volleyball is awesome, just a little hard on the life expectancy."

Round 2:

[Today is your one-month anniversary with your boyfriend.

Usually lazy, and interested in nothing but volleyball and games, he takes the initiative and suggests going on a date.

Looking into your boyfriend's catlike eyes, you decide to, ]

You search for nearby tourist attractions, then point at a shrine on a mountain with thousands of steps:

"I heard this place is really powerful. Let's climb the mountain."

*

Good news: You've got a chance to survive.

Bad news: You're a romance idiot.

Theme: Live optimistically and keep striving forward
