Story blurb:

[One-on-one pairing with Scaramouche] In progress.

Second-person POV.

1:

You've heard a certain game is really popular lately, so of course you have to give it a try.

Trying it is all well and good, but you wake up in a hellish situation.

Because you're so scared, you put every skill point into attack. Eyes open or shut, all you do is gather materials, level up, gather materials, level up.

Once your attack is maxed out, you're the only one who gets to wreck other people.

Kill the monsters, kill the demons.

Until you deliberately run into someone who calls himself the Fatui Sixth Harbinger, Scaramouche.

Under the dim lights, a bunch of Aranara hide behind the bushes and peek at the two of you.

You corner the boy in a cramped, awkward space, your eyes flashing with anger. "Give it to me!"

His hair is disheveled, and you've wrinkled his sleeves. But with your maxed-out attack stat, all he can do is turn away in frustration and spit out, "Huh? Who are you barking at? I told you, I don't have that thing called the 'Empty Walking Bell.' Stop following me around like a mad dog."

Scaramouche regretted saying that the very next moment.

At your first meeting, you left the Sixth Harbinger with his clothes in disarray and his face flushed.

"Huh? You really don't have it? But it clearly says it's on you."

You scratch your head and leave Scaramouche behind.

The boy trembles with rage, unable to stop wondering: Damn it, which of us is the villain here?

He swears you'll be enemies for life.

But every few days, you come back and interrogate him about whether he has the Empty Walking Bell. The boy patiently explains over and over that he really doesn't have it.

He explains it perfectly. You don't believe him.

So you knock him down again and again. "I'll come back tomorrow."

Scaramouche grits his teeth and swears he'll tear you to pieces one day.

Until, much later...

The puppet falls from a great height, and at last he understands what you want.

He closes his eyes. He said such cruel things to you, and hurt you so badly.

Even now that he has what you want, will you still come back?

A heavy object falls from the sky.

You, who only know how to max out your attack, clumsily catch the falling puppet. The tremendous impact knocks you unconscious, since you have barely put any points into defense.

Damn it. You farmed materials and got yourself killed.

But then you remember the look in the boy's eyes, the flash of light in his purple gaze, like a lamp shining in the dark.

Suddenly, you don't want that light to go out.

2:

The Wanderer really doesn't want to admit that he's fallen for you.

A man.

Behind Nahida's back, he secretly reads all kinds of books, like How to Date Someone of the Same Sex, How to Pursue a Straight Man, and 108 Ways to Win a Man's Heart. Blushing furiously, he reads about love between two men.

When he finally works up the courage to put what he's learned into practice, his whole worldview shatters.

--Great. Just great.

He spent nearly a month getting over his psychological hang-ups, and finally worked up the courage to top for love,

but you tell him you're actually a girl.

And the thing is, everyone else already knows you're a girl. He's the only one who's been kept in the dark.

#Do you dare say that one more time? What's your gender?

#Help, I forgot to tell Scaramouche I'm actually a girl

■■Important points■■

1. The female lead is emotionally clueless. All she knows is farming materials, stacking attack, and getting stronger.

2. This is a fun story about #which of us is actually the villain#.

3. The female lead is adored by everyone but doesn't realize it.

4. A girl disguises herself as a boy. My take on a sweet romance, no angst.
