"Would you like to have all the chocolate parfait you can eat, or play pachinko all day? Or have the latest issue of JUMP every single day?"
"Get a character's affection to 100%, and everything will go your way. You might even win a mysterious grand prize!"
When Gintoki Sakata, the owner of the Odd Jobs Gin, comes home drunk, he picks up a game console. The dating game's description displays the words above.
Gintoki Sakata: "This is definitely some new scam by a con artist. I've seen this trick more times than the stubble on the dumpling shop owner's chin. There's no way I'll fall for a promise of chocolate parfait, pachinko, and JUMP."
And then.
Gintoki Sakata opens the dating game.
*
Meanwhile, other players gradually discover the dating game too.
Inside the game.
A girl in a school uniform appears before the players as a pixelated character. They have to win her over.
Their reactions:
Members of the diving club, Iori and his upperclassmen: No problem! We're great at these kinds of games!
Chiyo from the art club: Huh? She's so cute! Is this a new pet-raising game? I've never played one before.
High school psychic Kusuo Saiki: Good grief. A game that can't be spoiled, and that even psychic powers can't interfere with.

Shiori Ori, an utterly ordinary high school girl and gaming fanatic, finds her uneventful daily life suddenly changing after she takes part in a street survey called "Would You Like to Become a Game Character?"
For example.
She goes shopping at the supermarket and somehow finds several boxes of sweet coffee jelly in her cart, along with some vinegar kelp.
Wait! Can you actually eat this stuff?
For example.
She comes home after school and finds the fridge stocked with strawberry milk.
Hey, that's way too sweet!
For example.
When she's thirsty, a cup of oolong tea mysteriously appears on the table.
? Why is your cup of oolong tea flammable, you idiot!
...And when the hopeless artist checks her school supplies, she finds a bunch of paints and brushes, as well as a complete collection of romance manga.
Shiori holds the survey report in her hands and stares at the conclusions reached by the game company, sinking into speechless silence.
Until
Her egg fried rice turns into a horrific bowl of red-bean rice! A bowl of mayonnaise rice that appears out of nowhere gives it a run for its money!
Shiori Ori: Help! What kind of sick food is this? I'd rather eat vinegar kelp! And what the heck is that black mass next door?

[Red-bean rice warning]
* A slow-burn, lighthearted daily-life story that somehow turns into total chaos;
* A crossover with Gintama, the Sea of Exaggerated Faces (tentative), high school girls, Monthly, Saiki Kusuo, and other ridiculous anime;
* Aside from the designated canon pairings, all other relationships are platonic. Long live friendship!
* The main world follows the idle daily life of a high school girl;
* The characters belong to their original works. Any OOC behavior is on me;
* Most likely Gintama-focused, so I'm giving the Gintama style a try. Expect nonsense, wild jokes, and me going off the rails. Read at your own risk ^^
Theme: just we is just we, neither great nor humble.
I'll give you the coldness that Gintama should have. Please write more. Just in case, if you can, I'll do it if you only write about Gintama. You really won't be able to get anything (tears)
I just watched The Bold Party now. It turns out this is the plot. It's really backward. I
