A friendly heads-up: the male lead is the super-cute Mikoshiba ο(=·ω<=)☆ I want to try writing in first person!!
:>
On the weekend, I was happily browsing the streets and shopping for merch.
Though that's what I say, my first love in otome games was written by a scenario writer who was better at the classic loyal-dog type. When she wrote the red-haired, tsundere big-cat route, she overdid it so much that I was left shivering.
Whatever. A few flaws don't spoil the whole, my first love is a god, and I gobble up every price increase with gusto.
I turned around with a basketful of men and accidentally bumped into someone.
My earbud fell to the ground. So did his.
A merch shop, and he's holding a cute little sister figurine. Ah, a standard otaku...
He hurriedly picked up the earbuds. But when he took off his mask and hat, I froze in place: red hair, earrings, and, on closer inspection, an outfit with a bit of a punkish little-devil vibe.
Standard otaku (crossed out) ☆He·is·so·cute☆
He's exactly my type!
He listened to each of the earbuds in turn, then furrowed his pretty brows. "Sorry, I think yours might be broken. There's this really strange noise..."
The next second, his face turned bright red. He hurriedly shoved the earbud back into my hand. "Aaaah, what are you listening to?!"
It was an otome audio drama with ear-licking sounds, but I knew that if I told him the truth during our first meeting, I would never unlock the shy, flustered tsundere route. So, without batting an eye, I said:
"Maybe you know what a mukbang is?"
Mikoshiba: ...What kind of mukbang involves panting while you eat?!
:>
The girl whose earbuds had been knocked to the ground tilted her head. "Hmm, a catgirl."
Mikoshiba followed her gaze to the figurine in his arms.
That's right. Lately, he'd abandoned the school-life games where the beautiful heroines kept dying, and started playing a healing romance game.
The secretly geeky boy's face grew hot with embarrassment. "Ah, um... yeah."
The girl in a super-sweet little dress rummaged through her ita bag, pulled out a matching pair of animal-ear headbands, and put one on. Her honey-colored eyes curved into a smile. "There's a kitty here, too!"
Mikoshiba: "..."
Mikoshiba covered his mouth and took two steps back. "…"
Help, she's... she's so cute...!!
