Bab 163: Yuzuru Hanyu
[Eriri (Level 8, Stage 5): In the end, it's always up to me. Little Skirt, take care of it.]
[Ruri Gokou (Level 2, Stage 9): Wait, wait! I haven't watched it yet! Can't you delete it after I finish?]
Ruri Gokou had originally planned to savor the newly uploaded memory images after school. However, she hadn't expected this turn of events. If the videos were deleted, she'd miss out on watching an entire series!
But it was too late to regret. The moment she sent the message, the system notification arrived.
[Ding, the memory images 'High School DxD Season 1/Season 2/Season 3/Season 4' have been successfully deleted.]
[Ruri Gokou (Level 2, Stage 9): …]
[Rias Gremory (Level 2, Stage 8): Finally, I can breathe easy. Thank you, Eriri-sama.]
Rias opened the memory image list and confirmed that the High School DxD entries had been removed. She finally let out a sigh of relief. Although most group members had already watched the videos, at least the rest (specifically Ruri Gokou) and future newcomers wouldn't see her embarrassing moments.
On the other side, after watching her own memory images, Haramura Nodoka Haramura learned about the girl named Saki Miyanaga, who would be crucial to her future. She also discovered that her former friend Toki Onjouji from Nara Prefecture would participate in the national mahjong tournament.
Seeing the strange abilities displayed during the mahjong matches, Haramura realized how naïve her previous thoughts had been. Compared to those so-called "monsters," her current strength was far too weak. If not for Saki Miyanaga, they wouldn't even stand a chance of breaking out of the regional tournament.
Checking the time on her phone, she saw that class would begin in a few minutes. Haramura decided to approach Saki Miyanaga after school and recruit her to the mahjong club, preparing in advance for the upcoming national tournament.
Having learned about Saki's inner struggles from the memory images, Haramura believed that, with the right approach, she could convince her to join the club and aim for victory.
[Eriri (Level 8, Stage 5): Haramura, I've always had a question in my mind. Could you help me with it?]
[Haramura Nodoka (Level 1, Stage 2): Of course, if it's something I can answer.]
[Eriri (Level 8, Stage 5): So... are you wearing a bra and panties? Curious.jpg]
[Haramura Nodoka (Level 1, Stage 2): Huh?!]
[Arifureta (Level 4, Stage 2/Group Leader): Yeah, I'm curious too. Neither the anime nor the manga ever showed any underwear lines on the girls.]
[Haramura Nodoka (Level 1, Stage 2): Of course, I'm wearing them! Honestly, what a question...]
[Rias Gremory (Level 2, Stage 8): Seems like you're also a victim, huh? Pat pat.jpg]
[Haramura Nodoka (Level 1, Stage 2): …]
After finishing lunch, Eriri tossed a laptop to Jibril. After teaching her how to use it, she left Jibril to explore modern knowledge on the internet by herself.
As the screen displayed endless amounts of information, Jibril couldn't help but drool slightly at the prospect. Thanks to the chat group, she could effortlessly read texts from any world, so nothing hindered her ability to absorb knowledge.
On the other hand, Lala, a genius inventor, was intrigued by Schwi. Creating a sentient robot wasn't a challenge for Lala, but the concept of an Ex-Machina fascinated her. She even had the urge to take Schwi apart for research.
Fortunately, she stopped herself in time. After all, Ex-Machina were more than just machines—they were a form of life. Still, Lala began analyzing Schwi's data with great enthusiasm.
Since it didn't harm Schwi, Eriri didn't mind Lala's curiosity. Moreover, Schwi cooperated willingly. She even made friends with Lala's head-mounted pet robot, Peke. Learning that Peke had consciousness and emotions, Schwi expressed a desire to gain emotions herself, hoping Lala's research might help her achieve that.
After making sure the two were settled, Eriri returned to school. None of her classmates realized she had been gone for several hours—except Arifureta, Shea, and Megumi Kato.
"Eriri, welcome back! Did everything get resolved?"
Feeling a gentle touch on her back and hearing Megumi's soft voice, Eriri turned and smiled.
"Of course, all sorted out. Once summer break arrives, I'll take you all on a trip to another world."
"Mm, it's a promise."
A week had passed since various nations discovered the existence of superhumans. The number of people awakening extraordinary abilities continued to grow like mushrooms after rain. Although the chances of awakening were slim, the world's population numbered in the billions, so there were still a significant number of superhumans.
At first, governments had tried to conceal the truth, but as the number of superhumans increased, it became impossible to keep the secret. Fortunately, these superhumans had only just awakened and couldn't yet overpower national forces. Many superhumans had even joined the ranks of military organizations, ensuring that societal order didn't collapse immediately.
But this was only temporary. Once the hidden superhumans became powerful enough to ignore conventional weaponry, some would surely start using their abilities to cause chaos.
Not far from Yumenosaki Academy, in a small, rundown apartment complex.
A girl dressed in simple clothing sat at a computer desk, her slender fingers sliding along the mouse wheel. Her eyes were glued to the screen of an old laptop, her expression extremely serious.
She had long, sleek black hair cascading like a waterfall down her back, and her brown eyes sparkled with intelligence, as if they could speak. Her small, delicate face resembled that of a porcelain doll, while her petite frame, barely standing at 140 cm, gave her a fragile and sickly appearance.
This girl was Yuzuru Hanyu—or rather, that was her current name.
Yes, she was one of the many who had transmigrated. She had been in this world for two days already.
Perhaps she had caught onto the trend of being hit by trucks, as in her previous life, she had been a school beauty, though secretly an otaku, when a runaway truck hit her while she was walking home. Upon waking up, she found herself in a strange world, in a different body.
Her former self had been an orphan. Her parents had died in a plane crash, leaving her a sizable inheritance, which made life comfortable but lonely. At school, she had kept her distance from others, preferring to return home quickly after classes to watch anime or play video games. Consequently, she had no close friends.
Therefore, transmigrating to another world wasn't something she found hard to accept.
And of course, as a proper transmigrator, a "cheat" system was essential. Upon waking, she had been greeted by the so-called "Strongest Literature Goddess System," which was meant to help her walk the path of a literary genius, or as she saw it, a "plagiarist."
Due to her soul transmigrating, Yuzuru had inherited the memories of her body's former owner and learned that she was in the world of Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend. Moreover, she was supposed to be a new first-year student at Yumenosaki Private Academy, although she hadn't yet reported to school.
In her past life, Yuzuru had watched Saekano as an anime, recognizing it as a typical slice-of-life story with no supernatural elements.
This was good news for her—at least she didn't have to worry about being killed or kidnapped and used as a lab subject.
She had also learned that the body's previous owner had died by suicide due to depression, which allowed Yuzuru to inhabit it without issue. The system had even repaired the damage caused by the suicide attempt, restoring her health.
The previous owner's life had been tragic. Like Yuzuru, her parents had died in an accident, leaving behind a considerable inheritance. But unlike Yuzuru, she had been conned out of her wealth and home by distant relatives she had never even met. With no financial security left, she had been forced to live off the small amount of money she had saved over the years.
Under the weight of these dual tragedies, the original Yuzuru had become withdrawn and developed severe depression. For months, she had lived in a rented apartment, scraping by on what little money remained, her mental state deteriorating by the day.
Two days ago, she had ended her suffering by taking her own life.
When Yuzuru transmigrated, she discovered that only about 100,000 yen (700$) remained in her account—barely enough to survive. If she didn't figure out a way to earn money soon, she would starve.
Luckily, she wasn't too worried. She had the system, after all. As long as she could plagiarize famous novels from her previous world, money would come easily.
The first step, however, was to buy a computer. Though the system could provide her with all the literary works from her past, she would still need to manually type them out.
Typing on a phone wouldn't be efficient enough, so Yuzuru had decided to buy a secondhand laptop online, which had cost most of her remaining funds.
Just recently, the laptop had been delivered.
Since the original owner never kept up with the news or joined any social groups, Yuzuru's memories held no information about current events.
Once she had set up her internet connection, instead of diving into her literary career, Yuzuru spent some time browsing the web, trying to figure out how this world compared to her previous one.
What she discovered left her utterly shocked.
"System, what's going on? Isn't this supposed to be the world of Saekano? What are these superhumans I'm seeing in the news?"
"I checked just now, and it seems this world has undergone some sort of 'spiritual energy revival,'" the system replied in a playful, feminine voice, as if it were a living person rather than a machine.
"What?! That's way too absurd… Did my arrival trigger this?" Yuzuru slumped back in her chair, arms hanging limply as she sank into despair. "I'm so weak… how am I supposed to survive in a world with superhumans?"
It was clear that something had drastically altered the world of Saekano. She wondered if her transmigration was the cause.
Suddenly, she remembered stories she had read about other transmigrators whose systems had granted them supernatural abilities. Her hopes rising, Yuzuru sat upright in her chair.
"System, can you give me superhuman powers?"
"I'm a literature-themed system, not a combat system, so I can't help you become stronger. However, I will be by your side to support you no matter what. Stay strong, host!"
"Worthless system, why do I even need you then?" Yuzuru grumbled.
"Ah, but I can only move on to another host if you die, so if you want to be rid of me, well… You know what to do."
Yuzuru winced. "Why do you have to be so sarcastic?"
"I assure you, Host, it's all in your head! You're imagining it," the system replied, its voice still lighthearted yet somehow mocking.
"Don't worry, Host. I'm on your side! You can plagiarize novels and make tons of money. Once you're rich, you can even hire some female superhumans to protect you! If all else fails, you could always seduce a rich girl. Living off someone else can be quite nice too!"
Yuzuru was taken aback by the system's words. While it was true that she liked cute girls, the way the system phrased things felt… strange.
She was confident in her looks. Though her current appearance differed from her past life, she was no less beautiful—a top-tier school beauty for sure.
In her previous life, she had been a voluptuous older-sister type, but now she had a delicate, frail, and petite frame.
"Wait, why do you assume I'd seduce a rich girl?"
"Because I'm a die-hard fan of yuri! Trust me, Host, I know what's best for you. I wouldn't have chosen you if you weren't into girls."
Yuzuru was left speechless. The system's reasoning was disturbingly accurate.
Now that she knew she was supposed to be a first-year student at Yumenosaki Private Academy, Yuzuru decided she should befriend Eriri and get close to her. Having Eriri illustrate her plagiarized novels was one thing, but it didn't hurt that Eriri was also a rich girl. Clinging to Eriri's well-shaped thighs seemed like a solid plan.
In her past life, Yuzuru had always liked and felt sorry for the proud, tsundere Eriri. She was determined to change Eriri's fate this time and ensure she found happiness.
As for who would be responsible for Eriri's happiness, it definitely wouldn't be the original protagonist, Tomoya Aki. That green-tea guy wasn't worthy!
No, the person who would make Eriri happy would be none other than Yuzuru Hanyu herself!
