Currently, Yutsuki was resting on a bed in the infirmary of Raizen High School.
Although it was class ti right now, it seed Shido had told everyone about her accidentally getting a hangover after eating too many alcohol-filled chocolates.
Out of concern, Kotori suggested letting Yutsuki go rest in the infirmary using feeling unwell as an excuse. Since the first class for Yutsuki's class was Yoshino's English class, it was very easily approved.
Actually, when Shido carried Yutsuki near the school, her drunkenness from last night had almost completely faded. However, regarding the content taught in classes these past few days, Yutsuki had heard it repeatedly until calluses were about to form on her ears. So she just went along with everyone's intentions and ca to the infirmary.
The health teacher in the real world seed to happen to be taking sick leave these past few days due to not feeling well. Reine, who temporarily took her place, didn't enter the ga world. So at this ti, only Yutsuki was in the infirmary.
Although Miku made a fuss about wanting to co take care of her, feeling a sense of danger in another sense, Yutsuki decisively chose to politely decline.
"I actually feel like I'm skipping class..."
In the empty infirmary, Yutsuki said feeling slightly guilty.
Laying on the hospital bed staring blankly at the ceiling, a long ti passed, but Yutsuki didn't feel the slightest bit sleepy.
Staying here is boring with nothing to do. Yutsuki sighed, feeling slightly bored. Even so, Yutsuki had no interest in returning to the classroom to deliberately listen again to a lesson she already knew by heart.
Getting up from the bed, Yutsuki walked out of the infirmary, strolling boredly down the hallway.
Because it was class ti, Yutsuki didn't see any other students in the stairwell or hallway at this ti.
"What is going on? Explain it clearly to ! Itsuka, this beautiful girl Maria who just transferred here actually told she lives under the sa roof as you, and even specially prepared breakfast for you. Here we go again?! Here we go again?! Having a cute little sister and excellent won like Kurumi, Origami, and Tohka-chan isn't enough!? Do you still want to expand the power of your harem!? Show so consideration for the feelings of us ordinary people, you scum ahhhhhhh————————!"
When she walked to the floor where her class was located, she could hear the heart-wrenching roar of a certain male student coming from Shido's classroom from far away.
Geez, here we go again—Ryougi Yutsuki spread her hands, showing she was used to it.
To explain, this plot actually happens in every cycle. Itsuka Shido kidnapping the newly appeared peerless beautiful girl to his ho—although this ti it happened on the first day, and she's a transfer student instead of an observer. However, basically the trope is almost the sa. Yutsuki basically knew the ending without even looking.
Amidst the classmates' gossip like "Making a move even on a newly enrolled transfer student," "The sphere of influence of the Itsuka Harem expands again," "A beast who only thinks with his lower half," "Rumor has it anyone male or female from age seven to fifty is within Itsuka Shido's hunting range," "Looks like we need to make a move on Itsuka's backdoor sooner," and then Itsuka Shido hurriedly explained.
"Who said that last one!? Wait—don't misunderstand! Maria is... she's the daughter of a relative of my parents! She's staying at my house because they're on a business trip overseas! I'm not wrong, right, Maria?"
"...It's just as Shido said."
Although it was obviously a reason thought of on the spot, after Maria confird it, it beca much more persuasive. The atmosphere in Class 2-4 wasn't as tense as just now.
"It looks like there's no need to worry."
Leaning against the outer wall of the classroom, after confirming the commotion had subsided, Yutsuki sighed in relief and quietly left.
Then, dodging the teachers' patrols and the students' attention, Yutsuki wandered around the campus like exploring a maze.
[Yutsuki... can you hear ?]
Just as she arrived at the physics prep room, Yutsuki suddenly heard the voice of Murasa Reine, who should be on the airship in the real world right now, coming from the speaker of the computer originally on standby.
"Mhm, I hear you, Reine."
Yutsuki didn't show a surprised expression, speaking with a calm face.
"How are things in the real world?"
[Honestly... the progress is fast to the point of exceeding my understanding... Even so, considering the ti flow rate on your side... I should say sorry for keeping you waiting.]
"Not at all, not at all—although I've had quite a few NTR experiences, fortunately, I haven't reached the point of deriving pleasure from it."
Yutsuki casually said sothing that sounded quite terrible. After a mont of silence, Murasa Reine considerately said to Yutsuki, "Good work."
[So, do you want to bring Shido and everyone back now?]
If Shido and the others were present right now, they would definitely be very surprised. The biggest problem that had been troubling them and Maria—how to leave the computer world—was as simple as dialing a phone number in Reine's words.
However, hearing this, Yutsuki didn't show any particularly surprised or happy expression.
"No—forget about it for now. We finally—made so progress. If we choose to go back now, everything will be abandoned halfway."
Yutsuki gently shook her head and refused.
[Is that so...]
To Yutsuki's answer, Reine didn't show any opposition either.
[Why are you doing this... I won't ask for the reason. After all, you made this decision after securing foolproof guarantees... Oh right, let tell you one thing. Although it looks like loading a save file, actually the data in the ga is indeed changing in the direction you expect, Yutsuki. Then... it's about ti...]
Saying that, Reine ended the communication with Yutsuki. But before hanging up, Reine's words caught Yutsuki's attention very much.
"My expectations..."
After muttering softly, Yutsuki suddenly rembered. From the very beginning of this cycle, Maria and Shido had been calling each other's nas very naturally.
Clearly, on the first day in the past, Shido would call Maria Arusu. Thinking of this, a complex yet gratified smile appeared on Yutsuki's face.
Even if mories and emotions are reset, there is indeed sothing important being slowly accumulated.
Confirming this point, Yutsuki felt her mood instantly lighten a lot. Clenching her fists, she said with full motivation.
"A hidden character finally unlocked after conquering all conquerable characters. If I don't achieve full CG completion, it's an insult to my dignity as a veteran Galga player."
...
After school, in the classroom, Shido asked Maria how she felt about school life.
"A truly aningful day. Self-studying and growing as a student feels very fresh, and being able to understand the feeling of looking at things from everyone's perspective is also a very interesting experience."
While answering, a cheerful smile very suitable for a young girl appeared on Maria's face.
She's gradually changing... Shido's mood right now was as gratified as watching a daughter who has beco sensible. Before he knew it, Maria had turned from that Q&A doll seemingly made of 100,000 Whys into a cute girl who could talk, laugh, and knew how to read the room.
Hm? Before I knew it... why does this phrasing feel like I've been watching over Maria for a long ti...
"But... this isn't enough."
"Maria?"
Temporarily putting aside the doubts in his heart, Shido looked at Maria sowhat puzzled.
"In order to understand love, there must be further action. So, I hope Shido can choose one person, spend special ti with her, and the two of you be mutually attracted. And then..." Halfway through, Maria seed a bit shy, but still continued with a flushed face, "That chosen person, could you include ...?"
"Maria..."
The girl looked at Shido, her pale blue eyes revealing a bit of unease and expectation.
With such an obvious hint, even Shido wouldn't fail to understand Maria's aning. After slightly calming his sowhat excited heartbeat, he looked directly into Maria's eyes and said.
"Maria, let's go on a date."
"—Yes!"
Maria responded with a cheerful smile.
...
"So, go on a date with this afternoon, Marina-chan—!"
"I refuse!"
In Tengu Park, Marina was sitting on a tree branch, enjoying the shade. She looked down at Ryougi Yutsuki, who suddenly ran here after school and made an inexplicable request to her. Without even hesitating, she refused.
"..."
Yutsuki indicated her fragile heart had been heavily damaged and wanted to find a place with no one around to have so quiet ti.
Original Author's PS: Let explain here first. In the original ga, Maria is a character who can only be conquered after all other characters are cleared, while Marina is an unconquerable character. Because the starting conditions are different, there's such a difference—I feel a bit sorry for Yutsuki.
