If only I had a childhood friend.
This thought often crossed Asaba Yui's mind.
Her family was wealthy, and her parents were away most of the year. Yui longed for companionship, but her extreme social anxiety and sensitivity kept her from making friends.
If only I had a friend I'd known since childhood... Maybe I wouldn't have turned into such a useless person...
She thought about it in despair. Then one day, a System calling itself the "Childhood Friend Simulator" appeared.
In her first playthrough, her childhood friend was named Oikawa Toru.
He was handsome and great at volleyball. Though he could be unreliable at times, Yui loved him because he was the first person to make her feel that she wasn't alone.
One day, her childhood friend, who was very popular with girls, confessed his feelings to her.
The oblivious Yui panicked and chose to reload and run away;
In her second playthrough, her childhood friend was named Akashi Seijuro.
He was handsome and great at basketball. Though he could be a little cold sometimes, Yui knew he was actually very kind.
One day, her childhood friend developed a split personality, and his suffocating need for control spread from the team to her.
The shocked Yui panicked and chose to reload and run away;
In her third playthrough, her childhood friend was named Atobe Keigo.
He was handsome and great at tennis. Though he could be dramatic, Yui knew he was reliable and serious.
One day, she overheard her childhood friend discussing an engagement with her parents, who had temporarily returned to Japan.
Yui reloaded and ran away again.
...This was too strange.
Why were her childhood friends all like this?
Yui was getting tired, but the Childhood Friend System urged her to try one last time.
All right. Yui agreed.
But this time, it seemed she'd gotten twins.
Yui stared at the two boys, who looked remarkably alike, and said their names.
Itoshi Sae, Itoshi Rin.
Reader's Guide:
1. The heroine is still a Mary Sue, beloved by everyone. No need to say more.
2. Third-person narration, with a timid, avoidant heroine and a little dark angst.
3. A crossover of sports anime, with no other world settings. She'll meet them again while retaining her memories, and there'll definitely be a childhood-friend rivalry over her. (The plan is already in motion.)
4. This blurb was saved on 2025.7.13 and may be adjusted later.
