Stardew Valley, but It’s a Jujutsu High Story

[This story is even more fun when read with the chapter comments~ The preview of my upcoming story is below~] [I saw your New Year’s wishes!! My heart melted when I opened the messages. Awww, thank you all!] A new student transferred into their second year at Tokyo Jujutsu High. Their recommender was unknown, their identity unknown, their name incomplete, and their cursed technique a mystery. They looked suspicious from the start. After the three classmates each tried to sound them out in their own way, they still learned nothing about this normally taciturn student. But as time went on, they gradually discovered Why does the new student go to the back hill every day to chop down trees? And why do they keep passing out outdoors at two in the morning? Why does the new student keep rummaging through trash cans? And why does time stop whenever they eat? The new student’s health bar is almost empty after getting hit by a curse! What? When did it refill completely? Why is the new student’s home full of barrels of liquor? How can they just pull giant objects out of nowhere? Why is the new student standing right outside their door... Under everyone’s puzzled gaze, Ren walked over and handed them edamame cream Daifuku / cold noodles / beer, one after the other. ·You don’t know what Ren is up to, but you like her more and more. ※ The heroine is playing a certain game set in Pelican Town’s 627 Valley. Everything she does is a player’s action. In-game, she’s an incredibly powerful agent of chaos, the type to max out everyone’s affection level (friendship only, no bouquets or confessions). ※ The early and middle parts take place in the game. The heroine causes trouble, while the main cast provides commentary, and canon goes off the rails. In the late game, the worlds merge, and multiple characters develop one-sided crushes. ※ After a heated vote, Toji was chosen as the pairing. Everyone else is platonic in the main story; the pairing route will be in the extra chapters. ※ In real life, the heroine is a hardworking office lady. ※ I’m trying for a comedic writing style and will do my best to make the jokes understandable even if you don’t play Stardew Valley. Please stick around, I’m begging you. *Upcoming Story Preview "I’m the Heroine of an Otome Game? Huh... Seriously?" “I understand the pain in your heart, Young Master Joshua. I may be a commoner, and my concern may seem insignificant, but please remember that no matter what happens, I’ll be there quietly watching over you and wishing you well!” “...” The handsome young man in front of me stared at me without expression. After a moment, he crossed his arms and replied in an odd tone, “I’ve never heard anything so cringingly sentimental in my life.” My smile faded, the light in my eyes slowly dying. In just a few seconds, I went from a young, innocent girl to an elderly woman on her last legs. I replied lifelessly, “It’s just the player’s quest, Young Master.” “Knowing that player, she’ll be spreading her attention around today and raising the affection levels of the Temple Knight, the High Priest, the Second Prince, and his aide as well as yours.” “...That sounds rough.” “Rough doesn’t begin to cover it.” My body was being controlled as I left the room. Before I went, I turned back and grumbled helplessly, “Just thinking about how this stupid game is going to control me until one of you falls in love with me makes me want to jump into the moat right now.” “You...” “Sorry to bother you today, Young Master Joshua! See you at school tomorrow! And, um... what happened today is a secret between the two of us, okay~” “...” The main story is written in third person. I had an idea and started writing on impulse; the title and protagonist’s name haven’t been decided yet. There will probably be more romance options than the ones in the preview. Theme: Love and peace
