The shadowy Spider Mother moved, breaking open Aki Tomoya's front door.
However, everything inside was quiet; no one was found. Kisaragi Rin walked to Aki Tomoya's desk and saw several A4 papers there. The first one he picked up was titled "Galgame Game Proposal."
Galgame, short for girl and love game, refers to bishōjo games, a type of electronic game where players can interact with animated bishōjo…
He turned to the second page, which had some basic settings briefly written in black marker.
Angel Route, Shiina Mahiru: Absolute heroine, truly too beautiful, a perfect two-dimensional feeling.
Club Route, Yukinoshita Yukino: Doubtful, she almost called the police on him.
Senpai Route, Kasumigaoka Utaha: Simply because of her long black hair and pantyhose; a normal galgame must have a formidable older sister character.
Blonde Loser Route, Sawamura Eriri: A loser character always brings more fun and virality to a game.
Gyaru Route, Miura Yumiko (crossed out): She actually watched him get beaten up. His game doesn't need this kind of woman.
The subsequent pages contained plotlines Aki Tomoya had devised, all old tropes, copied from who knows where.
After flipping through the proposal, Kisaragi Rin sighed with some emotion, "There really isn't any role for Yuigahama Yui. I truly feel bad for her. But shouldn't a good galgame add a girl-next-door route like Yuigahama Yui?"
However, it was also thanks to Yuigahama Yui not being chosen that when they gathered, Kisaragi Rin suddenly realized something as he looked at Yuigahama Yui.
"The only one unaffected, Yuigahama Yui, isn't the school beauty!"
Yuigahama Yui had some renown in her class, considered a top student, but her fame was slightly less when considering the entire school.
What kind of person would specifically come to affect the school beauties of Soubu High?
Or a peculiar person who only cared about the school beauties and ignored all other girls.
It was only possible to be the cute, innocent students of Soubu High.
But Kisaragi Rin had already reviewed the student roster of Soubu High, and Spider Mother had completed its checks on each household, finding nothing amiss.
Seeing Yuigahama Yui, Kisaragi Rin suddenly recalled Kato Megumi's last conversation with him.
"Except for Yuigahama Yui, everyone else is a top-ranked school beauty at Soubu High."
"I feel bad for Yuigahama Yui, but what's with the school beauties? Does Soubu High even have such a ranking?"
"It's a strange student named Aki Tomoya who made it: Angel Shiina Mahiru, Ice Queen Yukinoshita Yukino, Fire Queen Miura Yumiko, Blonde Fairy Sawamura Eriri, Perfect Senpai Kasumigaoka Utaha…"
Aki Tomoya?
Kisaragi Rin had not seen the name Aki Tomoya, mentioned by Kato Megumi, in Yukinoshita Yukino's list.
Yuigahama Yui answered the question.
Aki Tomoya's creation of such a ranking had caused dissatisfaction among Miura Yumiko, or rather, all the girls and some of the boys. Later, he inexplicably showed up at their homes, asking the school beauties he had chosen to become the heroines of his game.
Naturally, no one would agree to such a thing. Miura Yumiko was especially furious, and Aki Tomoya was also taught a lesson by the boys.
Later, Aki Tomoya suddenly dropped out of school, and that was last year's news.
Since Aki Tomoya had already dropped out, he was naturally not mentioned in Yukinoshita Yukino's Soubu High student list.
Then Spider Mother's home visits missed him, and Kisaragi was conveniently delayed by Shiina Mahiru and the others' actions…
"Excellent, Tomoya-kun. So, where are you now?"
Kisaragi Rin held his proposal in one hand and Nakime's Single Eye in the other.
Sekido once again merged into Kisaragi Rin's body, and the Demon King state manifested.
［Strength, Constitution +5, Agility +2, Charisma +3, Intelligence +1］
The Banner of Demons also appeared beside him. All the evil spirits absorbed during this period cried "Hallowed be thy name" and surged towards Kisaragi Rin, bringing even more terrifying enhancements.
［The Banner of Demons has granted you temporary Intelligence +5, estimated to last one hour］
Kisaragi Rin glanced at his stats: Intelligence: 35!
His vision extended from the room, covering the entire Chiba.
—
［Kisaragi Rin rejected Shiina Mahiru's confession］
"Why… why did it fail?"
"Not a single route succeeded… Did I reach a bad ending?"
Looking at the text appearing in the proposal, Aki Tomoya pounded the ground in anger, but his strength dwindled, and he eventually fell to the ground, twitching.
…
Aki Tomoya had been a player for over a year.
In the first game, he acquired a Skill called Goblin Transformation and even upgraded this Skill to Lv5, unlocking the form change to Big Goblin.
Since he couldn't keep up with the game's progress, Aki Tomoya gave up on further leveling and began purchasing other, more powerful Skill equipment.
Until one day, upon waking up, Aki Tomoya discovered with horror that his fingers were beginning to thicken, and his nails were constantly growing longer.
This was a premonition of Goblin Transformation activating, and now, he hadn't even used it, yet the Skill activated on its own, completely uncontrollable.
"Is this… loss of control?"
Aki Tomoya had seen loss of control happen before.
Starting from the fingers, the flesh turned into thick soup, like stringy cheese when he lifted his hand. Then it was his face, his features began to dissolve, viscous black liquid dripped from his body, blooming into flowers on the ground.
After a few days of confusion, he inexplicably joined another game.
Relying on the distorted power that came from being on the verge of losing control, Aki Tomoya not only received a much higher rating than before but also unexpectedly drew this item.
…
"If only I had more time, I could definitely create a perfect work."
All the rewards from the last mission had been exchanged for Evolution Stabilization Potions, but stabilization wasn't reversal.
Enduring until now was already his limit. Looking at his wrinkled green skin and other equally restless Skills and bloodlines, Aki Tomoya knew there was no chance to drag it out any longer.
"Kisaragi-san, why did you refuse?"
Resisting the dizziness coming from all directions, Aki Tomoya struggled to open the book and check what had happened when Kisaragi Rin refused.
［The basic settings for Kisaragi Rin as the male lead have been changed. Please revise the proposal.］
"The basic settings have been changed?"
Aki Tomoya was a bit dazed. What were the basic settings for the male lead in the proposal?
Gender, appearance, race, even fetish…
"Why would it change? Is he a player?"
As soon as this thought appeared, a piercing loud noise erupted, and sunlight streamed down, illuminating Aki Tomoya. Looking up, he saw Kisaragi Rin's eyes, as black as ink.
His face showed the joy of seeing an old friend, and he said warmly, "I found you."
