Thursday, 17th April 2013
As Junichiro wakes up from his sleep, he remembers what he did throughout the night before. It seems that he passed out from exhaustion.
He then exercises for a bit inside his room with a 100 times push up, 100 times sit up, and 100 times squats.
It is a pity that he is unable to complete his training for immortality with a 10 km run. In this kind of rainy weather which is very common currently in Tokyo, running outside will not make you fit but just makes you catch a cold.
Junichirou can't help but protest for this frequent rainy weather despite it being spring season in Japan right now.
'A rainy spring huh? Looks like global warming and climate change are very prominent for Earth in this multiverse.' Junichiro thought as he cleaned up his sweat and prepared for school.
After he finishes preparing, he then goes downstairs to cook his breakfast and lunch box.
After day two, he realizes that buying food in the canteen will waste more of his time researching technologies when it is break or lunchtime, making him resort to bringing his own lunch.
After cooking for a while, it seems that Mafuyu finally went down from her room. Junichiro then asked her to have breakfast together as both of them quickly finished it.
"Do you want to go with me by car to school?" Mafuyu asked, seeing the rain outside the house.
Junichiro thought for a while before he agreed since walking in the rain with an umbrella was not a pleasant experience if you need to do it every day.
Though, this also let him realize that he should also own a personal car after he is of age if the weather in Japan will not change for a long time.
It would be a hassle to use the bus and train in this kind of weather since you still need to walk in the rain between stations.
The predecessor just became 17 this early April (April 1), right a few days before he transmigrated to his body… Since 18 is the legal age of driving in Japan, he needs to wait for a year before he can get a driving license.
The short journey with the car was over and Kirisu Mafuyu went to report early in the morning. Although she is a little lazy in her daily life and does not even know how to clean up her house, she still exercises strict self-discipline.
Of course, these problems have not been exposed by her since she just arrived yesterday and everything is just his preconceived ideas.
'But, what does Kirisu's room look like now? Is it already a mess?' Junichiro can only think about this question while walking on the way to school.
"Oh? Junichiro, it is rare for you to come this early."
On the way to class, he unexpectedly met Kurisu on the way. Just to remind you, it is Kurisu as in Makise Kurisu not Kirisu as in Kirisu Mafuyu, his cousin.
Junichiro came a little early because he went by car today. Unexpectedly, he was intercepted by this red-haired girl in the hallway since if he remembers correctly, she always goes to school early.
"Well well well, looks like Kurisutina goes to school early as usual," Junichiro responded with his usual answer.
"Not with TINA! Forget it, I will stop talking to you." She said that before leaving toward her desk.
It was not for another hour before the bell rang and the class started its lessons.
----------------------------------------------------------------
The school continued its daily schedule until finally, it finished in the afternoon.
In the afternoon...
Junichiro did not leave the school directly but walked towards the audio-visual classroom.
There is no way. Yesterday, he has already agreed to Tomoya's "Plea for a Lifetime".
Furthermore, he also already invited two other potential members; Akihiko and Ruri. He can't just be absent if he already invites others already right?
Walking in the hallway, a light voice sounded beside him: "Junichiro-san, good afternoon~~"
The sound is like the gentle breeze of catkins flying in March and April which is very comfortable. However, it is not sufficiently recognized by him.
Junichiro turned his head to look at the bob-headed girl who had walked around at some unknown time,
"Ah… Kato-san, good afternoon." Said Junichiro as he finally remember her.
She has short black hair and a figure that is neither tall nor short and neither fat nor thin. She looks unremarkable at first glance even while wearing this school uniform that is already eye-catching. Though in fact, she is a master-level assassin with her own invisibility halo.
'Looks like Kato-san is still activating her stealth skill as usual.' Junichirou thought.
Though what is very surprising to him is because his <Synesthesia> doesn't pick up anything!
While unlocking it consumes lots of energy, it doesn't cost much to activate and maintain it. Hence, Junichiro has already activated this ability to see smell as a color since morning and it gives a new world experience for him.
He sees many smells as colors just like how he smells Mafuyu as rose pink and Kurisu as scarlet red. Ahem… Not with malicious intention.
But Kato in front of him doesn't give out any color from her smell! She is invisible in sight, sound, and even smell!
Junichiro decides to ignore this matter as he asks Kato "Going to the audio-visual classroom?".
"Well, because Tomoya-san sent me a lot of messages yesterday, I always feel that it would be cruel to refuse." Kato tilted her head and said in a light and bland tone,
"Anyway, I have not participated in any club. I don't have a part-time job, my academic performance is average, I don't have a university where I am desperately trying to apply, and occasionally I just want to participate in club activities," said her as she continued her explanation.
'Hey, do you know that all of those attributes are making a person become too common! and that's the weirdest one! In this strange school with a multitude of strange students, you are actually the ultimate boss with your high stealth skill! Unless there is someone with the same capability as you, I Junichirou give you the title of the strongest!' Junichiro thought jokingly
Well, fully understandable.
Her invisibility halo is a passive halo, which is the same as a continuously plug-in cheat and she as a player does not even need to pay.
If Kato Megumi participates in club activities, it is very easy to be ignored, and the others will probably even forget to notify her to participate in the activity…
"Junichiro-san seems to be thinking bad things about me?"
Kato-san turned her head slightly and looked over.
"...No"
Her intuition is so terribly great that there is nothing wrong with it.
'Looks like I should stop thinking bad about her now.' thought Junichiro
While speaking with Kato, Junichiro finally reached the audio-visual classroom on the third floor.
By the way, the audio-visual classroom is not a club room. Game clubs like this are actually wild clubs. There are no teachers as instructors, and the school will not approve any activity funds.
This is unlike his Futuristic Gadget Research Club. Although the club is similar to the science club and normally would be very hard to be approved, the school easily approves of his club with activity funds since this club hosts many genius students.
This is the privilege of being a genius in this school… Who is the instructor you ask? It is a secret for now, ehe!
Anyway, the main reason for Tomoya using audiovisual classrooms after school is that he also helped to adjust the equipment of audiovisual classrooms. Hence, he can sometimes get some convenience from the teacher.
When Aragaki Junichiro and Kato Megumi opened the door and entered, there were no other people in the classroom. Not only the senior sister Utaha and Eriri are not here, but even the working madman Tomoya did not come.
"Well, let's sit down for a while." Junichiro randomly found a place to sit down.
"Nnn" Kato-san answered lightly and sat on one of the chairs.
After the humble Kato-san sat down, she quietly played with her mobile phone there without any intention to speak.
Junichiro glanced at it, and it seemed that it is just some news from the fashion magazines. It seemed that Kato-san is not uninterested in everything.
While thinking that, the door is pushed open again, and a blonde girl with two ponytails walks in.
Her blond hair that can be called a registered trademark, her clear blue eyes, and her white porcelain skin, all show the identity of the other party.
After Eriri came in, she saw that only Junichiro was in this room, and her good mood suddenly disappeared(she can't see what is invisible[Kato]).
What? They have only known each other for less than two days(meeting time), so how can she have a happy conversation with him?
Especially since last time, both of them were misunderstood by the other classmates in class and she needed a lot of time to resolve that by denying it. It is no wonder that she has a bad perception of him.
Junichiro said hello: "Sawamura-san, good afternoon."
Eriri subconsciously wanted to show her tiger teeth, but she was suddenly alert that Kato Megumi was actually nearby, so the fierce tiger teeth warning turned into an elegant smiling face. The rapid change of expression had to be said to be quite cute.
"Well, Good afternoon," Eriri said elegantly.
"Pfft…" Junichiro can't hold his laughter seeing her behavior.
Eriri, who stood at the door of the classroom, became subconsciously a little irritable hearing his laugh. 'You need to hold back. Can't be angry. You lose if you are angry. In front of strangers, you must observe the so-called social etiquette—'
While Eriri was still hesitating whether to enter the room, a floating footstep sounded from behind before a voice could be heard. "Classmate Sawamura, I approve you and you can go in."
"Kasumigaoka Utaha!!"
Eriri turned her head to look, and the twin ponytails drew a brilliant golden arc behind her back: "Who needs your approval?"
Utaha came over and stopped in front of Eriri, "When you came to the third floor, I saw you standing still at the front of the classroom door for a long time. Obviously, you were late for class and were waiting for the teacher to let you enter, so I approved you."
"You hateful girl is not a teacher! Who wants your approval!" Eriri clenched her fists.
As many already knew before, there are three most hated things for Eriri in school. The first is physical education, and the second is Kasumigaoka Utaha. The third? You guess first.
She doesn't know why, it's probably a natural horoscope. When she sees this Kasumigaoka, she can't help but explode…
'Hmph! Why do I always get angry and feel uncomfortable if I don't say a few words to her when she is nearby?' thought Eriri.
Kasumigaoka Utaha squinted her eyes slightly, and her burgundy eyes swept across Junichiro and Kato. She then passed Eriri, and walked directly to Junichiro's other side, and sat down in front of him.
She then said this directly to you
"Omae wa mou ...."
[You are already finished watching this chapter.]
As Utaha sat in front of him, Junichiro could clearly smell and see a good scent of violet.
"Junior, I am optimistic about you." The senpai put down the book in her hand and leaned on the chair behind her. She then started shaking her legs slightly.
"What are you talking about?" Junichiro asked puzzledly.
Kasumigaoka Utaha is in the third grade, and he is in the second grade. The two have never met before except for that one failed meeting due to Tomoya going rogue.
That is, they said a few words in that meeting but they are still not that close.
Now Kasugaoka Utaha suddenly talks to himself. Junichiro's first reaction was not excitement, but just feeling strange and confused.
The elder sister stretched out her slender finger and tapped the table lightly. She then said: "Well, I heard that you create a club with the majority of its members being girls. So I came to congratulate you for your Harem creation."
"...I think you misunderstand," Junichiro said calmly.
Though, it was not what was inside his mind. 'It was not meant that way! There is no way, who knows, that there are very few males who aspire to be scientists in this world.'
He can't help but think of the many male scientists in anime. Most of them are psychopaths and evil… Adding the point that most of them are not in a normal daily life world.
As of now, he can only think of "Okabe Rintarou" from Stein; Gate who doesn't know where he is, and Senku Ishigami from Dr. Stone which he is not even sure whether he is also in this world.
Though adding Dr. Stone would be bad since it would just create more chaos than necessary if he is here…
(Author Note: please comment on any more male scientist anime characters that are also on similar earth or near future. I need those since there is a gender imbalance in the club. The new character will probably be added as a transfer student.)
"Beside me, there is also a male in my club. That means that it is just a big gender imbalance in a club, not a harem club or something." Junichiro tries to explain
"Are you sure about that?"
Someone suddenly said that from the direction of the door. He was none other than Kayaba Akihiko who just came to see the situation.
"The reason you invited me is not actually because you wanted to use me as a reason right?" Kayaba continued his question.
"HELL NO! I don't even think that most of our club members would be girls. As I told you, it is just a gender imbalance!" Junichirou exclaimed.
Junichiro then continues to support his explanation; "As for the reason for the gender imbalance, it might be because most males nowadays focus on tertiary or service sectors like writing novels or drawing manga rather than wanting to be a scientist."
"Kuhuhu… Well, it's rare to see someone who tries to deny something obvious with all his might nowadays." Utaha said so after finally showing her black belly character.
Aragaki Junichiro twitched the corner of his mouth and was about to speak. Suddenly, he realized that something was wrong.
Looking out from the corner of his eye, he saw Eriri who turns her head and looked to the side. However, her body clearly exuded an aura of impatience and resentment.
'That's it. She suddenly talks to me, someone of a younger generation and a stranger, is it actually just to annoy Eriri? Otherwise, with the coldness of the senior sister Utaha, would it be possible to talk so much to a strange junior like me?' Thought Junichiro
'Well, if this continues, the atmosphere will be uncomfortable with Eriri being ignored at the corner… Well, it looks like we also ignore Kato.'
Junichiro raised his eyebrows and began to change the topic of conversation as he started to formulate his counterattack.
"Senior Sister's "Love Metronome" is about to end, right? Is the ending written?" Junichiro asked suddenly.
The senior sister raised her eyebrows as she answered lightly, "Not yet."
Kasumigaoka Utaha did not ask Junichiro how he knew about her "Love Metronome,". After all, it is not unusual for Tomoya to recommend her book to his peers.
It can be said that each book is the devotion of the author's painstaking efforts, just like a child raised by the author, and the end of a book is like the melancholy when a child grows up and then never comes back...
After that, regardless of anything, the characters in the book will only become memories in both reader's and the author's minds.
This reluctance is also what troubles Utaha. So much so that her editor has already repeatedly urged her manuscript, but she has not been able to write a satisfactory ending.
After a pause, Utaha couldn't help asking:
"Junior, as a peer, do you have any suggestions?"
She said that with a hand placed on her lips. The corners of her lips are then turned slightly upwards, just like a charming vixen in many ancient monster stories: "If the proposal is good, I might give the junior some ~Rewards~~"
"..."
There is no fluctuation in Junichiro's heart.
For this seductive gesture and the ambiguous tone, if he really believes the promise of the black-bellied Kasumigaoka Utaha, he is sure that will definitely only get her poisonous tongue and contempt in the end.
Though it seems that his counterattack backfired since his plan was to embarrass her who delay her novel's last volume for a whole month.
"Kasumigaoka Utaha!" Eriri has already endured since before and almost couldn't help shouting, 'You should stop ignoring me!'
However, after shaking her head three times, she finally couldn't help but stop.
'This hateful dark girl is clearly testing myself deliberately! If I become excited, I still don't know what this vixen will say as a counterattack...
You should hold back!
You shall not be angry!
You must not be fooled by those hills of fat on her chest.'
"Yes, what is it? Sa-wa-mu-ra-san--- "
"YOU!! Grrrrrr..."
Sparks start to form between the two of them.
Junichiro stretched out a finger and tapped the table lightly to divert their attention as he said his answer: "Well sorry, but a romance novel is not my genre so I didn't finish all your books."
"In my opinion, it is stupid for the protagonist to be attracted to both girls and need to choose between them. After all, he should have picked one from the start. Hence, there will be no one who is hurt, rather than waiting this long for a few volumes before picking one." Junichiro added in his explanation.
'Though, it would not be attractive to the readers if that were the case haha' Though Junichiro in his mind.
"Heh… I thought you would support a harem ending like the 'man' you are." The senior sister raised her eyebrows lightly.
Junichiro couldn't help but twitch his eye once more from her response as he thought 'Why do I always think your perception of men is very bad! Or more like It's always the image of an adult scum and a pervert!'
Eriri also looked over, folded her hands on her chest, and rarely stood in the same position as Junichiro: "Hmph! Wandering between two girls, always being ambiguous, and thinking that no one will be hurt. In fact, that is the most excessive thing."
*"Achoo!!!"
A sneeze can be heard outside the room as the figure of Tomoya enters the room.
"Looks like I got a slight cold huh? Well anyway, what have I missed?"
"Nothing"x3
Junichiro, Eriri, and Utaha answer at the same time.
Deciding to end the previous conversation, Junichiro asks Kayaba who just sat down at the corner all this time.
"Anyway, Kayaba, I actually didn't expect you to come here. What makes you here?"
"Is there anything wrong?" Kayaba said while reading a book he pulled from his pocket before.
"Nothing, it's just I forgot to tell you that this game meeting club is actually to make a dating simulator or more specifically, a visual novel game. Hence, I am surprised to see you come." Junichiro explained his reason.
…
Kayaba became silent for a while before asking "What is a dating simulator?"
"..." x6
…
…
…
"This guy is not joking right?" Ask Eriri.
"Heh… You got some dense guy as your friend here, junior." Utaha said with a smirk.
"No, he is not, Ehm… A dating simulator is a simulation of, you know, real-life dating. However, you do it inside a game with a virtual character." Answer Junichiro uncertainty.
After all, it is hard to explain something that is already obvious to you. Since dating simulators are already explained clearly using the word that makes it up, it will be very hard to try to define them.
"True! Dating sims, or romance simulation games are video game subgenres of simulation games with romantic elements. Dating sims are often dialog-heavy and focus on time management and the player must befriend and carefully build and maintain a relationship with one or more characters as the gameplay is largely dependent on statistics. These games also often involve the raising of stats that reflect the player's skills and can be combined with other genres from RPG, Sci-Fi, etc." Tomoya adds to his bad explanation.
"I see… So did you often play it, Junichiro?" Kayaba asked suddenly.
As Kayaba asked that question, the whole room focused on his answer as even the usually uninterested Kato decided to look over.
"Well… not really… I only played one or two and became bored from it." Junichiro said what was in his mind.
It was both a truth and a lie.
Truthfully, he only played one such game in his previous life and became bored quickly because of the game being 'Pay to Win'. With a history of "no money spent on games", Blank (Junichiro's previous life) uninstalled it just within a day.
And a lie… Of course, because the predecessor (real Aragaki Junichiro) before his death always plays one when a new dating simulator game comes out…
"Ahem anyway, looks like this is all we have huh? 6 people in total." Junichiro said to distract the others as he thought: 'Looks like Ruri is not coming huh?'
"6? Isn't there only 5 here? Me, You, that friend you brought here, Eriri and Utaha senpai?" Tomoya asked in confusion.
"You forgot Kato," Junichiro answered shortly.
!!! x3
"Ah, Kato! You are here!" Tomoya exclaimed.
"As expected of Kato-san huh?" Said Utaha who also just realized Kato's presence.
"Junichiro… is she an assassin?" ask Kayaba rudely. To which Junichiro answered: "She is not…"
"... hello" Kato answered shortly after hearing her name being called.
"Ahem, well looks like there are really 6 people in total huh?"
Though, just as Tomoya said that sentence, a seventh voice can be heard just inside the room.
"Ano… I am also here" said that guy
"Who are you!" x5 (everyone besides Kato and the guy)
"Eh… I am…" Before the mysterious guy has the chance to answer, Kato immediately answers instead of him.
"He is Kousuke Endou, he is actually our classmate in class 2B with me and Tomoya."
Hearing his name, Junichiro can't help but think 'Kousuke Endou? Why do I seem to have heard this name? A guy with black hair that covers his eyes like a hentai protagonist along with his stealth capability that rivals Kato… Wait a minute! HE IS!!!!!'
[Chapter Ends Here...]
