One day, a dating sim mysteriously appeared on Miya Atsumu's phone. Its goal was to romance the male high schoolers from a sports anime.
Driven by curiosity, Miya Atsumu opened the game and discovered it was an incredibly immersive VR experience.
[Your name is Kido Iha. Today is your first day of high school. Please choose who you want to pursue...]
Miya Atsumu glanced at the options and curled his lip in disdain. Who were these guys? They were all ugly as sin. He wasn't pursuing any of them.
[Congratulations! You have unlocked the Harem King 1VNOE route.]
[Your target makes fun of you for being stupid. What do you do...?]
[A. Put up with it in silence and cry on the inside.]
[B. Glare at him and insult him back.]
[C. Get physical.]
Miya Atsumu: Hell no! Who could put up with that?! Max out the strength stat and beat the crap out of him!
[Your target's health -10, affection +30. Congratulations! You have unlocked the hidden title: Boss Lady, Master of Taming Dogs.]
After a year of Miya Atsumu's playing, his character had maxed out her strength, stamina, and speed, and even developed a special skill: women's boxing.
Just as Miya Atsumu was having the time of his life and clearing the first-year chapter, a message suddenly popped up in the game.
[Congratulations on completing the first-year chapter. You are about to enter Inarizaki High School. Please choose who you want to pursue...]
[Kita Shinsuke, Miya Atsumu, Miya Osamu, Suna Rintaro.]
Miya Atsumu: "Huh?" Was he seeing things? Had the game invaded reality? Or had the apocalypse finally arrived?
That day, he saw Iha, the pretty little character he'd raised with 100,000 yen of carefully saved money, standing right in front of him.
Then she pinned him against the wall and said the line he'd chosen: "Atsumu, wanna date?"
[Miya Atsumu's affection +100, heart flutter +10000]
The game hadn't invaded reality, and it wasn't the apocalypse. The pursuit system had simply linked to the wrong person.

Kido Iha was an ordinary high school girl.
Then one day, she discovered she couldn't control her own body, and she could hear a strange voice, too.
[Your name is Kido Iha. Today is your first day of high school. Please choose who you want to pursue...]
Kido Iha understood the general idea. She'd read light novels like this before, but where were the options?
Her next-door neighbor, Oikawa Toru, had loved teasing her since they were little. To cheer her up, he jokingly called her an idiot.
Kido Iha was about to smile sweetly when an untimely voice rang out in her head.
"Who could put up with that? Beat him up!"
Before she could react, her fist came down.
Kido Iha: "...!!!! OHHHHH! Oh my god! What did I just do?!"
So she hadn't been linked to the System. She was the character being controlled in the game.
Well, that certainly made life more interesting :)
Her classmate Kageyama Tobio had no tact and said she was weak.
Before she could say anything, the voice in her head answered for her. "Hell no! Join the class competition! Take first place and rub it in his face!"
That day, weighed down with a pile of medals and exhausted to the point of feeling like she'd ascended to heaven, she stood on the podium and flipped Kageyama Tobio the bird.
From then on, she stopped drawing and took up boxing; she stopped studying and took up volleyball. She successfully transformed from an ordinary high school girl into a fiery, outrageously cool boss lady.
Kido Iha: Yeah, she was certain the person controlling her was a total attention-seeker.
But when the game reached her second year of high school, it seemed to suddenly break.
[You looked at Miya Atsumu. His affection increased by 100.]
[You gave Miya Atsumu some chocolate. His affection increased by 200.]
Kido Iha: "...Is this game broken?"
She looked up at the tall senior standing before her. The blond boy's ears turned red as he lowered his head and muttered to himself, "This wrapping really is too tacky. I should've picked the pink one. It would've looked so much nicer!"
Read Before You Start:
[This is not a character-selection story. The pairing is Miya Atsumu, with other characters harboring one-sided feelings for the heroine.]
[Lots and lots of headcanon!]
[This is probably a comedy...]
[Apologies for any out-of-character moments!]
[To keep the story flowing, some dialogue may not match the blurb exactly!!!]
