"Yuki-kun~"
"Gah, Haruno... What are you doing? No, why are you here? No, how can you be here?!"
"Mou, you're so mean~... Even though I kindly came to you in this area. Look, at least people won't think you're single~"
In the shopping mall, the two of them could be seen chatting like a couple.
Seeing the two people—a male and a female—happily talking, everyone walking around could only click their tongues.
Of course, the "lonely dogs" there were the most obvious in showing their hatred toward the male figure, whose arm was currently being hugged by a woman with those big assets!
Meanwhile, the women looked at her with clear hostility.
"Why does she have such a great figure, and her face is also pretty?! God is unfair!!!"
Feeling all this negative energy, I, Yuuki Hayama—a simple reincarnator who will soon enter the second year of high school in Japan—could only sigh tiredly!
"Are you satisfied now?" I asked her calmly.
"Well~ that's better! Although I never get bored of their expressions over there~"
She gently released my arm and looked around with a cheerful and beautiful smile.
This woman's name is Haruno Yukinoshita, the eldest daughter of the richest family in Chiba, and you could say, my childhood friend who is two years older than me. If you call her beautiful, then she indeed is a beautiful young woman.
With shoulder-length black hair tipped with purple dye and those beautiful slanted blue eyes...
Haruno is a very cheerful person, easy to befriend and socialize with.
She's often considered amazing even by people who meet her for the first time.
Whether it's her personable nature, her stunning appearance, or her achievements throughout school up to her current career stage...
You could say she's a perfect woman!
As for me?
I am the eldest son of the Hayama family, which is a business partner of Haruno's Yukinoshita family.
In terms of looks, it seems my family has good genes.
Even my younger brother has a handsome face with blond hair and blue eyes just like me.
In terms of strengths, I'm superior.
Because my entrance exam scores for high school were the highest in the nation, which could be said to be nearly perfect.
I am also skilled in sports, programming, and have some written works.
And yeah, she is my childhood friend... and I've always been with her, from elementary school, middle school, to high school...
Even though she is a senpai, and I am a kouhai in all of them...
Although she's sometimes a bit annoying, I can still tolerate her.
As a childhood friend, my immunity to her is very high!!!
By the way, she has a younger sister who is three years younger than her and one year younger than me.
Her age is the same as my younger brother's, who is one year younger than me.
"Haruno, what are you doing here?" Because we're outside, I call her by her first name directly.
But if it's in front of someone we know, then "-senpai" plays its role...
"I should be the one asking, what are you doing here?" Haruno asked.
"As usual, looking for references for game and novel development."
"Fufu, as expected from our Ghost Shadow-san. Even though I don't like light novels, if it's games, it should be decent."
"Wait, Yuuki, didn't you say you were going to send that game to STUUE for review and then sell it?" Haruno suddenly asked.
STUUE is the most widely used game platform in this world.
It's a comprehensive online game platform that integrates publishing, downloading, trading, and game reviews.
Not only is it used by more players, but because game releases are relatively fair and the platform's share is low, it's also a paradise for independent game developers.
For example, I, under the name Ghost Shadow, have released several small games on this platform.
Even though the games are simple, they're all relatively unique.
They've received many likes, and although the overall STUUE scores aren't high, they are very popular among players.
This time, the game I released is very different, and my smile immediately widened. "I already sent it yesterday and am just waiting for the evaluation!"
"Oh oh oh, truly worthy of a genius. By the way, Yuuki..." Haruno hugged my arm again, raising her head with watery eyes. "There's a new bag that's really beautiful over there..."
"Fine... let's buy it."
My family is wealthy, but my income from selling games isn't bad either! For a beautiful woman, even if it seems I'm being taken advantage of, it's worth it!!!
As the two of us walked with Haruno hugging my arm like a lover, I just kept quiet.
Even though my height has surpassed 188 cm, Haruno, who is much older than me, can still act like a little girlfriend at this moment.
Japanese people are perceived as short, but fortunately, my mother is a foreigner, and my mother's good genes have all been passed down to me and my younger brother.
This world is beautiful, yet strange.
I still remember when I was one year old; because I reincarnated, my memory wasn't like a baby's.
No, that's not a big problem.
It's just that at that time, I read news on TV that the richest family in Europe, the Gremory family, held a grand party for the birth of their first daughter, Rias Gremory!
Surprised! At that time, I could only shout, "Where is the Gremory devil I know?! That's fake!!!"
But all that came out was a baby's cry~
When I was six years old and started being allowed to surf the internet under my mother's watchful eyes, I became even more surprised!
"The world's smartest researcher, Azazel, has discovered..."
The news headline was accompanied by a photo, and I immediately recognized him and shouted!
"Damn! Why has the perverted teacher Azazel, who fell from heaven because of oppai, become the most respected researcher in the world?!"
"What kind of damn media is making this news!!!!"
"Sitri Company has discovered..."
There appeared the figure of a beautiful woman, and my hand immediately hit the computer screen, only for my own hand to hurt!
"Why is it, like before, there's a photo of someone I know very well—Serafall Leviathan—showing a peace sign!!!"
"Damn! What world is this?!"
There's also the case of the British royal family in England, which is very harmonious, including the crown prince and the first, second, third princesses, and others...
"Calm down... that's still acceptable, but when I saw CC's figure there, I immediately hit the computer again!"
"The eldest sister of the British royal family, no one knows her name except her own family members. A genius but known to be lazy, Miss CC..."
"Where is my eternal witch?! Where is my pizza-loving witch?!"
"Where?! Media, I will kill you if you're lying!!!!"
There are still many other cases, such as...
"The Fraxinus technology organization developed the world's first VR, but it only met with failure. It is said..."
"Damn! Since when is the organization called Fraxinus?!"
"That's the name of their ship! And where is my cute elf?!"
"Cat slave, glutton king, crybaby loli, where!!!!"
There were many more that made me almost seem crazy to my mother at that time...
"Where is Bill Gates?! Where is Mark Zuckerberg?!"
"Hey Elon Musk, Mukesh Ambani, Warren Buffett, where are you?! Why have they all disappeared!!!"
"Jennifer Lawrence, Leonardo DiCaprio, where are you? Brother, who's acting in Titanic, I don't know!!!!"
"Even though there are still some figures I know like Scarlett Johansson, but damn! There are so many I don't know!!!"
In essence, this world looks like the original world, but it's not. It looks like a mix of anime, but also not.
It's just a strange world that's been twisted!!!
