"Good morning, Yamada-san," he greets you.
"Good morning too, Nakamura-san."
"How are you doing? Is your injury all healed up?"

You pat your abdomen. "I'm not ready for exercise yet, but moving like this should be fine."
"Glad to hear! Shame you couldn't join in PE later. At least you'll be keeping Rei some company."

And with that, he pats the head of the girl beside her. You didn't even notice she's standing there.

Tezuka Rei nods as a greeting to you.

>Smile and say good morning
>You go to school together, Nakamura-san?

"Good morning, Tezuka-san,"

She moves behind Eiji's shoulder, as if hiding from you. Nakamura chuckles.
"Sorry about this, Yamada-san. Rei's been shy of guys since we were kids."
"Is that so? I don't really mind."
"But, Rei, you'll need to grow out of this in the future, you know..."

She shakes her head and holds on to Nakamura's collar. "I only need you, Ei-kun."
He laughs and scratches his head. "So, it's like this..."

The three of you climb up the hill together. Along the way, Nakamura tries to make some small talk.

"It's pretty nice that we have soccer for PE, huh, Yamada-san?"
"Yes, I think it's much better than Physical Fitness tests inside the gym."
"Right?" He smiles and faces you. "Yamada-san, do you like soccer?"

>Yes, do you?

"Not particularly, no. How about you, Nakamura-san?"

"Well, I like it. I'd even like to join the soccer club, but I'm not good with my feet. Not to mention, I'm with the Research Club now so..."
You nod and wait for him to continue. Looks like soccer is one of his interests.
"Well, there isn't a player in class 2-1 to support..."
"Is that so?"
"And Ryou bugged me to help you join a club..."
"Er..."

"So, how about it?" He says with an awkward smile to you. "Why not check them out? The team here isn't half bad. Oh, you could even join the Research Club if you want! I'm sure the others won't mind."

It's honestly the perfect cover for our goals. It's not even suspicious since we can rightfully say he convinced us to do it.

We're not joining the Research Club by any means and I'm not sure if we'd want to join any club at all unless MC joins it too.

Getting involved with the Research Club puts us at risk of idiot romcom shenanigans by the other girls.

Serious question, you guys really think that this might interfere with the plan to stay at a distance? If so, I'll rescind my support for checking out a club.

Of course it will

There's probably a female manager for the soccer club which would also lead to harem shit. we just need to stoically wade through the sea of girls without even a hint of the romantic
>>
>>2145066
We don't have to join immediately. There's nothing wrong with checking out a club before choosing which one to join.
>>
Hold on, is the blue haired, childhood friend sleepy girl also in our class?
>>
>>2145077
Obviously, it's the harem club
>>
>>2144998
You have to continue your investigations regarding this world. And if what your brother said about the MC being the center of this universe is true, then the best way is to investigate his surroundings, right?
"I don't mind dropping by your Research Club, Nakamura-san."
"Oh, really? Great! How about the Soccer Club, Yamada-san? What do you think of my proposal?"

You smile and shrug. "I'm torn on that, to be honest..."
He nods. "I understand, sorry for springing it so suddenly on you."

You arrive at the lockers and change your shoes.
"However, if you're interested, there are tryouts next week. That's why I was suggesting it too."
"Is that so?" You keep that in mind. Soccer could be a good way to get an in with Nakamura.

"Well, let's go together to the Research Club later, alright, Yamada-san?"
You nod.

>cont'd
>>
>>2145075
Safer than getting directly involved with Nakamura's harem.
>>
>>2145084
I figure if we can figure out what the hell is going on fast enough things won't have time to collapse on us, we just need to avoid anything remotely romantic with the girls
>>
>>2145082
Class flies by, and soon it's lunchtime. You wonder if classes feeling so fast is an effect of this world being an anime scenario, or just because you've known of all this lessons before.
With your free time, you...

With your free time, you...

>Have lunch with Nakamura
>Investigate Harem members

You approach the cornermost seat of the classroom, by the window.
"Oh, Yamada-san!" Nakamura grins as he sees you. "Wanna have lunch together?"

His desk is combined to the table in front, Tezuka's desk. She's currently sleeping soundly.
"Pull up a chair, let's eat here."

You grab the nearest empty chair, which incidentally, is Tokomichi's seat.

>>
>>2145121
"Your friend's absent?"
"Hm? Ah, yeah. He usually is, sadly. He's a nice guy, so if you could, please be friends with him too."
"Sure, why not?"

You sit down on the table and bring out the bentou your dad prepared you. You were about to pull out your chopsticks, when you notice one of the table members is still asleep.

>"Should we wake her up?"
>Whatever. "Itadakimasu."
>>
>>2145153
>>Whatever. "Itadakimasu."
>>
>>2145153
>>Whatever. "Itadakimasu."

>>2145153

>>
>>2145153

You know...it's rude to sleep in the table, worse yet when people are going to eat in that table, maybe you should wake her up
>>
>>2145153
>"Should we wake her up?"
>>
>>2145153
>Whatever. "Itadakimasu."
>>
>>2145153
>>"Should we wake her up?"
>>
>>2145153
>Poke her in the cheek a couple times.
>>
>>2145153
"Itadakimasu."
"Itadakimasu."

Both of you clap your chopsticks before digging in to your food. You worry about Tezuka falling asleep through lunch, but it seems your worries are unfounded.
A few minutes after eating, you spy Tezuka's nose wrinkling, and she soon starts to stir.

"Ei-kun..."
"I got it, I got it."

He digs into his bag and produces some melon pan. Tezuka accepts the food gratefully, and nibbles on the bread.
...Is that all she's eating for lunch?

>Nakamura, what is your relationship with Tezuka?
>Tezuka, would you like some scrambled eggs?

>>2145174

>Nakamura, what is your relationship with Tezuka?
>>
>>2145174
>Nakamura, what is your relationship with Tezuka?

But like, not so directly man.

This is interacting with one of the harem, and as much as I like the character, I'm worried something negative is going to come from offering food. That's something thay can easily be seen as a romantic gesture to a girl like her.
>>
>>2145192
This.

>>2145174
>Nakamura, what is your relationship with Tezuka?
>>
>>2145212
That's the key thing we need to remember. Unless we Brute Force the situation, the universe sees things as binary. Romantic, or Not Romantic. Even Hanazawa, who we've managed to at least temporarily dissuade, is being forced to read stuff we do as romantic.
>>
>>2145227
I'll count this as the tie-breaker.
>Writing.
>>
>>2145174
>>Nakamura, what is your relationship with Tezuka?
>>
...oh yeah.

That's another thing we need to remember everyone. The QM DOES NOT COLLATE. Even if the spirit of two write ins are the same, they count as separate selections to him. So we need to vote on the EXACT SAME THING.
>>
>>2145230
Pretty much, so I'll admit I'm a bit pensive about asking about their relationship because it could become all,
>Oooh? Are you jealous, Yamada-san?
>>
>>2145174
"Hey Nakamura-san, what's your relationship with Tezuka-san anyway?"
"Hm?" He finishes munching on his food before answering you.

"We're childhood friends. She lives next door to me since we were 7. She's a bit of an airhead, so I take care of her at school."
"Wow, that's pretty amazing."
"Yep, we're good friends, aren't we, Rei?"

Tezuka continues to nibble on her bread.
"...Ei-kun, idiot..."

"Eh, did you say something, Rei? Wait, oi, you're getting crumbs all over your mouth...!"

He pulls out his handkerchief and starts wiping down the mouth of Tezuka. But with two tables in between the two of them, the whole affair is awkward.

"Yamada-san, could you help me with her?"

"Sure," You grab your lunch box and switch seats with Nakamura.
"Thanks. Ok, Rei, c'mere..."

As you eat your food, you watch as Nakamura helps Rei clean herself up. She struggles against him, but it's obvious she's not against his touch at all. All the time, her eyes are on him, glistening, twinkling.
"Ara, what a blatant display of public affection. Taking advantage of the brute class rep not being here, Eiji-kun?"

"It's not like that, Kobayashi-san..." he says to the woman behind him.

Sure enough, the other top 2 beauty of the school, Kobayashi Mariko, is standing behind him, holding a four layer bentou box.

"...Hm? An unexpected visitor." She soon shifts her focus to you, curious.

>Good afternoon, Kobayashi-san.
>Say sorry and sneak away.
>Write in
>>
>>2145305
No she's not, and as someone who doesn't mind her and in fact voted for certain encounters with her before the seriousness of the situation developed, I'm honestly willing to waive her off if we can come to an accord.

"Good afternoon, Kobayashi-san."
"Good afternoon to you too," she says with the elegance of a princess. Her silver hair sparkles in the sun.

"However, I'm afraid we haven't been introduced before. How did you know who I am?"

"Well, you ARE rather popular, Kobayashi-san."
She grins.
"Indeed, indeed. Of course, how could I forget my own popularity inside this school. I should be used to total strangers knowing who I am by now! Ohohohoho~"
...This woman...

Nakamura sighs. "Knock it off, Kobayashi-san..."
"It was a joke, Eiji-kun. A joke."

She returns back to you.
"I'm Kobayashi Mariko. Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you. I'm Yamada Ken."

"Kobayashi-san," Nakamura turns to the ojou girl. "Will you be having lunch together with us today?"
"Unfortunately, I would have to decline."
"We could still make some room--"
"No need, Eiji-kun. I'm actually off to eat somewhere and just dropped by."
You glance at the bentou in her hands. Seems like that wasn't the case until she saw you.

"Is that so? Well, if you say so..."
"Yes. Let's eat next time again, when there aren't any -pests- present."
He groans and massages his temples. "Kobayashi..."
"It was a joke Eiji-kun, a joke." She smiles sweetly.
"Then, Yamada-san, Eiji-kun, Rei-chan, excuse me for now."

>cont'd

>>2145461
The three of you have finished your lunch and is now just waiting for the bell to ring.
You see that Nakamura's ruffling through his coin purse.

"Looking for something, Nakamura-san?"
"Hm? Oh, nothing. I'm just going out to buy some drinks for us. Strawberry milk for you, Rei?"
"Yes."
"Alright. How about you, Yamada-san?"

Even Tezuka starts to reach for her her pocket.

You laugh and wave them off. "Don't worry about it. Consider it my thanks for hanging out with the new guy."
"Eh? I insist, Yamada-san..."
"I told you already, it's no problem at all."

A few more back and forths happen, until at last he gives up and sighs. "Well, if you say so. Thanks a lot, Yamada-san."
"Don't mention it."

Even Tezuka is smiling and bows her head.
"Thank you."

-------

"...I don't really have a lot of money left though..."

You wait as the vending machine spits out the drinks. You're running dangerously low on funds. You think about asking your mom for some money, but you have a hunch that it's a dead avenue. You'll have to follow up with Ryou on the part time job.

As you grab the drinks, a couple of students pass you by. You glance at them. First years.

Wasn't there another girl in the harem from the first year...?

The class rep was oddly stern about trying to minimize interaction with the other girls, so I say let's just ignore the harem schenanigans and befriend Nakamura

Also we should totally get that job in the arcade instead if it's still open.

You return to the classroom with the drinks.

>>2145570
Soon, school is over, and you find yourself walking down to the Clubs wing with Nakamura.
"Say, Nakamura-san, what exactly do you do in the Research Club?"
"Well...from what I know, the original purpose of our club is for the collection and preservation of research materials. Newspaper articles, online articles, papers."
"Is that so? Must be a pretty demanding club."
"Not really. To be honest, it's been a long time since anybody has done any 'research' there..."
"Eh? What do you in the club, then?"

He groans and scratches his head. "Stupid stuff, mostly...I'm surprised we haven't been shutdown..."

Probably the universe at work there, Nakamura-san.

As you walk through the clubs, you feel the gazes of people looking at you. They're...boring into you.

Nakamura notices your discomfort. "Is something wrong, Yamada-san?"

>>2145615
"Nakamura-san. I feel like we're being stared at..."
He looks confused, but then it seems like he comes to a conclusion.

"Ah, don't worry about it. It's probably from members of other clubs."
"Huh, what do you mean?"
"Well...the Research Club isn't exactly the most productive or well behaved of clubs. We get this kind of stares most of the time. You get used to it."
"...Huh."

You feel that what he's saying is correct...
And yet, at the same time, completely wrong.

"Well, here we are!"

You arrive at the door to the Research Club. This was the place where you first spoke to the class rep properly after [Reawakening]. That time, you declined her offer of coming in.

"In we go, Yamada-san."
"Yes."

This time, you're willingly going in.

The inside is a mess. It's more a storeroom than a clubroom. Along the walls, filing cabinets line the wall, as well as metal shelves filled with books. On top of them, boxes filled to the brim with yellowing papers are peeping out. Light is supplied by a cracked window, and a hanging light, decorated with a china ball.
Only the middle of the room resembles a normal club room.

There, a small table could be found with pillow cushions on the floor. A tea pot is boiling some water, and some snacks are strewn across the surface of the table.
In there, sits three girls. Kobayashi Mariko, Tezuka Rei, and the kouhai, Fujibayashi Rinko.

"Guys! I brought a friend over. This guy's Yamada Ken, he's from the same class as me. He said he wanted to check out the club."

The atmosphere is...strange. Stuffy, even if the room is well ventilated. The happy noises you heard from outside the room is...absent.
Kobayashi Mariko is frowning. Even Tezuka Rei looks uncomfortable.

Only Fujibayashi Rinko is acting normal.
"Nice to meet you, Yamada-senpai! You can call me Rinko-chan, tehe~!" She approaches you, grinning.
"Nice to meet you, Rinko-chan."

"By the way, Yamada-senpai?"
"Yes?"
"What are you doing heeere~?"

She says the question with a sweet tone, but in her eyes, it looks like she wants a valid answer from you.

"Nakamura-san asked me to check out the club earlier this morning, since I'm new around here."
Nakamura nods to support your claim.

"That so?" Kobayashi stands from the table, still sporting that displeased frown.

"Eiji-kun. I didn't know we were...recruiting. In my opinion, this room is crowded enough as it is."
"Are you joking again, Kobayashi-san?" Nakamura asks, chuckling.
"...I wonder."

"Well, Ryou asked me to help in finding a club for him, and well, I decided, why not the Research Club right?"
"Oho? So this was all that idiot class rep's scheme."

She stares at you. It's frigid.
"So, what, you asked that Hikaru Ryou to get you a good word in?"

>I'm guessing I'm not welcome here? If so, I'll leave, apologies. sorry, Eiji. Guess you weren't aware.


The tactic here is to shift concern from them vs. us to them vs. Eiji, which they will back down from. We need to ACTUALLY LEAVE, though. This serves a dual purpose- it lets us get a bit of a read on them, and makes Ryou sound better to Eiji by making them appear to be bitches.

Then they'll probably shove us out to some other club and consider that their good deed for the day, and shift things so that if we stay around, it'll be considered offensive in some manner since 'we' took Class Rep's advice, but not theirs. It doesn't make sense, but harem logic.

We need to make sure the issue is between them and Eiji, and leave ourselves out of it.

Damnit.
The entire POINT of my write-in was to avoid mentioning Ryou in any particularly major aspect, period. They're going to presume we're defending Class Rep if we mention her in any related aspect. The idea was to make it sound like we had no serious personal contact with her or major knowledge of her, and she simply was doing this as either a small favor or just duties as a Class Rep.

"I don't know what you're talking about. Class rep just wanted me to join a club, then Nakamura-san suggested this club. That's it."
"Is that so? Then might I suggest a different club, Yamada-san?"
"Oi, Kobayashi! You're being really rude right now." Nakamura has stepped forward to protect you.
"Am I? I think I'm just acting normally, Eiji-kun."

"What I think Mariko-senpai is trying to say," Rinko-chan interjects. "Is that we're uncomfortable with a new guy entering into the club. Especially since he's a boy."
"But I'm a boy too!"
"Yes, but Rinko-chan knows you. Rinko-chan doesn't know Yamada-senpai. He might be using you to get closer to Mariko-senpai and Ryou-senpai, right?"
"Wha-- That's ridiculous!"

Nakamura is getting more and more baffled. You think it's time.

"Nakamura-san." You tap him on the shoulder. He looks back at you, confused.
"I don't think I'm welcome here at all. I'll be taking my leave."

"Huh? No wait, Yamada-san, let me talk to them--"
"Don't worry, it's alright," you say, laughing it off.

"Kobayashi-san. Rinko-chan. Tezuka-san. I'll be taking my leave. Sorry for intruding."
Rinko smiles and waves you goodbye. Kobayashi stares, but says nothing. Tezuka is staring at the table, looking sorry for you and at herself for not speaking up.

You exit the club before Nakamura could stop you. You hear the sound of arguing inside when you left.
"...Phew." Maybe it's time you head home and consider another club.

As you make your way to the gates, somebody bumps into you. You feel something wet splash into your uniform.
"Sorry," the Mob girl says, but she doesn't stop her walking.

You look down on your clothes. Green tea stains your white polo. You sigh. It'll come off, you think...

-------

You were on the foot on the hill, when someone calls you out.
"Heading home, Yamada?"

You turn around. The first thing that catches your eye is the dirty blood red dye she's wearing.

Nakahara Fumi is leaning against the rail, eating. She reaches out a plastic bag to you.

"Meat bun?"

"There is. Only idiots buy things full price. Want one?"

You approach her and take one. Only idiots refuse free food, after all.
Nakahara spots something.
"Yamada. What's that?"
"Hm?" You notice her gaze is on your uniform. "Ah, a girl a while ago spilled some green tea on me."
"That so."

Nakahara crouches down and picks at the ground.
"Are you looking for something, Nakahara-san?"
"Pebbles."
"Er, why?"
"Yamada."
"...What is it?"
"I expected better from my oponnent."
"...I'm confused. What do you mean by that?"

She stands up and dusts off her knees.
"You've been sloppy."
"What?...If you're talking about the green tea, the girl was the one that bumped into me--"

You were cut off by Nakahara throwing a stone at you.

>cont'd
>>
>>2146025
Probably.

Also:

In one fell swoop all of those girls' standings have DROPPED LIKE A ROCK compared to Ryou's. The question now is, how to proceed without making ourselves too much of a target. They're not going to take this lying down, and chances are they're going to try and rectify that mistake and improve their standings by TRYING to do nice things for us to 'make up for it'.

Don't fall for it. Let them stew in the sewage for a bit. Wave if off and just smile and walk off like 'nah, they're/it's not worth it.' But, we can take the time to observe their actions and see what they're trying to do to attract Eiji.
>>
>>2146025

That's No Mob, That's the Stalker interest.
>>
>>2146041
Yeah, they kinda fucked themselves by being visibly catty to the point that even Eiji noticed it.
>>
>>2146039
You didn't even have enough time to react. The only thing you could do is close your eyes and cover your face.
You wait for the pain.
It doesn't come.

You hear the zoom of the stone as it flies past you. It would never have hit you.

You follow the trajectory of the stone. It hits a bush.
"Agh!"

A boy stumbles out of the shrubbery, and runs away before you could say anything.

Nakahara stands there, tossing a stone on one hand, while eating a meat bun.

"You've been careless, Yamada Ken."

(TO BE CONT'D)
>>
>>2146056
Yeah, it's a delicate dance we have to do- and that means that we CAN'T be seen around Eiji too much, else they'll cotton on. We've gotta split with him for a couple of days, and let them hang themselves more with their efforts at damage control.

I'm guessing we aren't the only ones who have been making shadowy alliances with harem members.

>>2146032
>It's the universe driving us away from there.
It could also be an in-universe set-up. Mob characters sent out by the oujo to harass us into leaving Eiji alone or something along those lines.
>>
>>2146069
Man this is some 4 dimensional chesspoolpoker BS goin on right now. We need info on glasses bro STAT.
>>
Oh, the girl must've used green tea to mark us as someone to follow. Then they sent someone to track us. Interesting, but who could be the one following us? I'm betting the Ojou wanted someone to keep an eye on us.
>>
>>2146069
Holy shet, Maybe we can ask to Nakahara to interrogue this little spy. Nothing too violent, but enought to make him speak.
Also, thanks for this fun session QM. I had a lot of fun

...Excellent. I'm all for some more players in this game. I've been having a lot of fun coming up with these little plans so far. I always DID enjoy strategy games.
>>
>>2146069
First, we should thank her.
I'm guessing the green tea wasn't an accident, it was to mark us as the target for... something.
Maybe one of the harem girls put them up to it? Likely the oujou.
Also, we're Nakahara's rival AKAher potential Love Interest
>>
>>2146104
Lead us to glory StrategyAnon
>>
>>2146117
I'm pretty sure he's just role playing that or the QM is getting even more meta
>>
>>2146141
Why not both?
>>
We're a mob character with no distinguishing features, so it'd make sense for someone to mark us with something so that they know who to follow. Clever, but it makes me wonder if the one who ordered it did it for the sake of the spy(i.e. you don't know how he looks like, use green tea to mark him) or for meta reasons(he's an indistinguishable mob character, use green tea to give him a distinguishing mark, albeit temporarily).
>>
>>2146091
>>2146094
Yup, you were right, it was definitely a setup.
Ojou might have been planning this since afternoon because she couldn't have lunch with Eiji. The fact she kept quiet and didn't react while we were leaving could mean she didn't want to be seen through.

>>2146141
>it's actually our brother driving our actions through write ins
>>
>>2146155
Could we delete our brother from existence by reporting him?
>>
>>2146155
We need some counterattack on the ojou.

Class rep is on red right now so our chance of info is the kouhai and delinquent.

Better make our own A-team harem
>>
>>2146141
I'm actually not. The spoilers was just me being cheeky.

I took a bit to shower and came up with some plans for the next day. I won't spoil them all.

But we should look into bringing green tea for lunch for the next few days.

Making a harem might trigger a bad end, we really need to confront our mom about what the bad end is so we actually know what might set it off

Guys.
Instead of fucking with the harem, lets just hang out with Hanazawa san for a while. We ccan get some of the pressure off us from the universe/the harem girls who dont like us/whatever. She said she wants to date us, but we are busy doing investigations on some stupid shit. Instead lets start dating her and put investigating the harem as a side priority.

We can date Hanazawa once we know it's safe, let's not waifu anyone until we know what's going on
>>
>>2146212
Won't work- the universe is all about attraction, period. Any girl we hang out with, regardless of harem affiliation, runs the risk of being attracted to us and vice versa, and cause massive issues.

We need to hold off on dating ANYONE or even showing remote signs of attraction until we can figure out how to better manipulate this universe.
>>
>>2146199
Maybe we should lay low for now?
Perhaps try to keep contact with Eiji to a minimal, just enough to learn more of him.

>>2146168
I look forward to your plans, anon.

>>2146209
>>2146212
I do like Hanazawa a lot but Nakahara is definitely a valuable ally. I don't think Hanazawa will be happy if she finds out we've been associating with her.
>>
>>2146212
t. Ojou who wants MC-kun all to herself
>>
>>2146228
We've got to avoid romancing nakahara though until we know how the universe works, I don't know if we can thread that needle while still getting her as an ally
>>
>>2146227
>>2146224
It seems to me that getting near harem girls causes problems. Mob characters form couples fairly often in harem shows, Hanazawa should be fine to go for.
>>2146228
What does Nakahara have to do with us not involving ourselves overly much with the Harem?
>>2146236
Why do you want to romance the delinquent? Hanazawa is clearly the best girl who already wants to date us.
>>
>>2146212
We don't know her or Nakahara well yet.
Let's cross that bridge when we get there
>>
>>2146238
Just trying to ally with Nakahara might trigger a romance, personally I don't care about the waifus though
>>
>>2146228
Maybe we should try to awaken whoever we ally with? Bro was lying when he said him and us were the only people awakened in universe since mom knows about bad ends, he might be lying about awakening others as well
>>
>>2146238
Nakahara could help us with information about the lives of the harem girls outside of school, like if they have a part time job or something while we try to learn more about Eiji.

>>2146251
I wonder if they would zero sum like in TES lore and phase out of existence. They'd probably call us crazy though.
>>
>>2146258
We can test it with randos on online chat boards
Also if possible our eventual waifu should be awakened
>>
>>2146270
We should definitely explore the internet of our world when we get home.
>>
>>2146270
Don't worry, Nakahara is clearly waiting for us in some capacity.
So it should be fine until she loses her patience
>>
>>2146055
>THIS
>>
>>2146270
>>2146275
Explore the internet of this world is an excellent idea.
>>
>>2146270
but arent we doing this? chatting an online board?
>>
>>2146114
Yamada is the person only Nakahara will defeat, or be defeated by.
>>
One thing we absolutely should do before we romance anyone is to see if there are any other students dating in the school. Maybe the universe doesn't allow students other than Eiji to date.
>>
>>2146315
We could start a thread on in universe /x/ trying to convince people they're in an anime
>>
>>2146212
Support. By openly dating someone/having a girlfriend, we can can reduce the risk of romantic shenanigans when interacting with others. Putting it off will just dig ourselves deeper people...
>>
>>2146212
How about no.
>>
>>2146889
I agree with romancing Hanazawa but we still need to get closer to Eiji while we do so. I feel like staying away from the majority of the harem is a good idea though after that encounter. My gosh I could feel the hate they had for Yamada through my phone.
>>
I can already see ojou taking advantage of the situation and inviting us back to the club too look like the good guy
We need to avoid her at all cost and have class rep take advantage of the situation
It would provoke extreme passive aggressiveness from the girls and would let us mold the situation like puddy
>>
>>2147453
That's basically what I expect, as well, should this be the case. I'm not confident we should be so skittish should the girls show up- but at the same time, I don't think we should be around Eiji too much either, simply due to the fact that they may begin to see us as an intentional obstacle to get in their way. As of now, they're not sure if we're allied with anyone or not- but considering that someone might've tried to put a tail on us, then they're at least suspicious. We need to ring up Ryou, tell her she has an opening, and that we need to CUT OFF CONTACT for several days as she makes her move.

This will give us time to investigate the world, and we'll be able to work on figuring out the harem as they try to approach us to make amends with Eiji (not us, EIJI). We need to be careful to not look like we're snubbing them- rather, we need to just act like they're nothing special and not worth messing with, a lot of 'nah, I'm good, thanks', with the occasional confused or 'innocent' statement, maybe. A lot of the ideas I have in mind are dependent upon the next day or so to see what direction the harem will be going in in order to make it up to him- for example, if they decide to just write us off entirely, the plan changes.
>>
>>2147708
For the moment it seems you have a solid plan, I really like the first part, by the way we have the phone number of Ryou?
>>
Running in an hour

>>2147708
Same ID here, just for reference. Not at my usual computer.

>>2147790
I think so.

You make your way home, being way more vigilant than you have been. Every streetlamp looks like a shadow, every bush a hiding spot.
But despite your awareness turned to max, Nakahara on the other hand, is walking without a care in the world.
"Yawn..."
It's true that it wasn't her that was being followed, but she really is just lazily strolling after all that's happened.

"You seem really lax, Nakahara-san."
She glances at you, but returns to her casual stroll.
"It's cause they're amateurs. Your follower probably took initiative on his own, rather than being ordered. There won't be more for today."

"However, we've really done it now." She says grinning. "Things are just gonna get worse from here on out."

"What do you mean by, 'worse'?"
"Exactly that. You've made enemies, Yamada."
"With whom?"
She smirks. "With the collective."

...What the hell is that suppose to mean?

"Look." She stands still, and you listen for what she has to say.
"You've been careless. And now, some people are out there to wage war on you."
"War?" That's a big word, but she seems serious. "What makes you say that?"
She walks up to you and points to your chest. The green tea stain.

"I've seen this all before." She looks up at you. "This is just the beginning."
She steps away from you.

"You'll need allies."

"And why would I need allies, Nakahara-san?"
"Because what you're heading into is a war of attrition. Being alone is exactly how they want you to be."

You frown. "You keep on saying 'they'...or 'the collective'...why are you being so vague?"
"I'm not." She shakes her head. "It really is 'you' against 'them', Yamada."
"I still don't understand."
"You'll understand it eventually." She kicks the sidewalk. Something tells you she knows about 'them' firsthand.

"...Then, why are 'they' coming for me?"
"How would I know? You acted out. You did things you shouldn't. Talked to the wrong people. That's usually how it goes."

You remember the stares of when you were heading to the Research Club with Eiji. Is that...?

"Well, whatever. As far as I see it, you'll either need powerful allies, or allies to hunker down with and wait it out. Up to you, I don't really care."
She's being awfully helpful, for someone who beat you up only a few days ago.
You try to push your luck.

"Well then, Nakahara, will you be my ally?"
She raises her eyebrows in surprise, but then,
"...Ha! Fuck off, city shit. I'm not your friend. After all this blows over, you still owe me a rematch."
"And what, you're gonna use a box cutter this time?" You taunt her.
"Who knows? Now you're pissing me off. I'm out."

She turns around, but before she leaves, she tells you something.
"If you want to ally with me, two things.
"One, prepare to beg.

"And two, prepare to lose everything."

You arrive home soon after.
"I'm home."
"Oh, Ken-chan, welcome back! I'm just preparing dinner."
You hear your dad shout from the kitchen. The smell of meat cooking wafts through the house.

You immediately dump your stained clothes on the washer and change to your casuals.
Tomorrow's the weekend, which means you could relax.

...Or that's what you wish you could do.
You have decided to continue your investigations. You'd like to ask your mom about [BAD END], but she isn't home yet. So for now, tonight's mission will be--

Collective, huh? That's interesting. I got a hunch as to just what this Collective is, but I wonder if we can't get a little bit out of the neighbor.
>>
>>2148607
I wonder if our mom and dad might give us combat training, they seem like the kind of people that have the potential to have kicked some form of ass. Of course this is just a guess but it wouldn't hurt to ask them.

Tokomichi Endou.
The man closest to Nakamura Eiji.
Something has always been tripping your warning bells when he's around. Why?

"Dad, I'm just going to check something out outside."
"Don't be long!"

You walk out, thinking about how you're going to spy on him. Climb to his house? Casually enter and introduce yourself as the neighbor?
But as you were thinking that, you see that your worrying is not needed.

Tokomichi is looking out his bedroom window, staring at the moon. He has a thick cover on, and around him are crumpled up tissue papers, used. He pulls another tissue out of the box and blows his nose.
"...So he was sick after all..."

You notice that he's shivering with the night air, but he still stubbornly stares at the moon. Indeed, it's a beautiful full moon tonight.
He sighs, smiling, and then closes the window and curtain.

"A man of simple tastes, huh, Tokomichi..."
You shake your head and walk back to the house.
It isn't him. He wasn't the stalker. You would've been able to tell, his goofy look stands out too much.

You head in as your dad calls for dinner. Now that you mention it, the lights in his house are all closed bar his room. Is he home alone sick?

>cont'd
>>
>>2148630
We could also ask about the collective
>>
>>2148653
Tonight's dinner is salisbury steak.
"Let's dig in!" Your dad roars.

Your mom still hasn't got home, so it's just a dinner between you and your father. Once again, it's delicious, but right now you have something else in your mind."

"Dad."
"Yes, Ken-chan? More meat?"
"Actually--"

Really just want to double-check my hunch real quick.

If this Collective is what I think it is, fighting won't help us much.
>>
>>2148688
What's your hunch?
>>
>>2148688
Is the QM running a parallel quest where the people in that thread have a different best girl for the mc?
>>
>>2148688
If you share your hypothesis you might get more supporting votes.
>>
>>2148688
Maybe not, but being able to quickly take down opponents will help us get away faster without them chasing us down.
>>
>>2148693
Well, think about it. She said that what we did was 'talk to the wrong people'.That's a fairly short list.

I think we're dealing with Fanboys/girls. People who want their particular girl to wind up with the boy. In short.

An in-universe ship war.
>>
>>2148697
If he is, it's not on /qst/. that would be a good gimmick for a quest though
>>
>>2148688
Is it the harem, or the anime directors?
>>
>>2148666
"Dad, could I ask about you and mom before?"
"Ahaha!" Your dad laughs and takes a sip of his beer.

"It's a wild story, Ken-chan. And as much as I'd love to tell you our stupid tale, your mom will be mad at me."
"Mom? Why?"
"Cause it's more her story than mine." He says smiling. "It's a story with a lot of skeletons, Ken-chan. Best not bring it up until your mom says it's alright."

You want to protest, but your dad moves fast. He brings an arm around your shoulder, and starts ruffling your hair.
"But, oho~! Our Ken-chan is finally growing up and getting curious about love! Hey, just between you and papa, are you pursuing any of the girls from the other day?"

>Yes
>No
>>
>>2148709
I think the collective is one group though and it would be weird for there to be universal agreement on best girl. I think it would be more likely that there's a conspiracy to deny Eiji happiness so as to preserve the world. That or we're actually in an urban fantasy setting and it's just now reared its head

Was mom a Shoene hero?

>>2148723
>Maybe, I dunno, it's complicated

>>2148725
No, my idea is that the collective is a group of fans that simply want him to fight over there selected individuals, and anyone who runs the risk of interfering in that fight needs to be removed.

"Er, no dad."
"Ehhhh?" Your dad looks disappointed. "You could tell your dad, you know? I'm actually pretty good at keeping secrets."
"Again, it's not really like that..."

Your dad sighs and leans back on his seat. "Well, if you say so. Just remember, your dad is ready to give you love advice anytime you need it, alright?"
You nod. "I'll keep it in mind."

You return to your meal.
"Ken."
"Yes, dad?"
"This is just a guess, but...your mom asked you to cut off contact with them, right?"

You almost choke on your food. Your dad just smiles.
"Thought so."
"H-How did you--"
"Ahhh...that woman. Do forgive your mother sometimes, Ken-chan."

His smile is melancholy. "She might be more competent than your father, but Akane's actually pretty clumsy in her own way. When she said that, she probably didn't mean to cut off all contact *literally*. Well, maybe she did, I don't know with her sometimes, haha!
"So, don't be too hard on her okay? She's your mother after all."

You hear the front door open.
"I'm home..."
Your dad puts up a finger to his lips and winks. He stands up from the table to greet her.
"Welcome home, dear."

>cont'd

>>2148816
After dinner, you ask your dad if you could use the computer.
"...Eh?" For some reason your dad looks baffled.
"Is there something wrong, dad?"
"Nothing, but...well, it's in the garage."
Garage? You wonder why it's over there, until you see the device.

"...What the hell is this..."
It's a box computer. Probably made sometime in the 1990's. There's no way you could check the internet with this piece of junk.
"...How in the world did this family survive without a computer..."

But, well, being a past NEET, a computer has always been standard. You wonder if for normal families, that isn't the case...

-------

"Ah, you wanted to check the internet, Ken-chan?"
You nod. Did your family live under a rock before you [Awakened] or something?
"Well, if I wanted to search something on the net, I just use my phone."
"...So that trash is our only computer in this house, huh..."
"I mean, why would you need a computer if everything you need is on your phone already right?"

You sigh. Normies...

Things we need should think about stocking up on over the weekend based of SoL 'Them' types.

- heavy duty cleaners for when "They" vandalize our desk.
- rubber bands and noise makers to set up elaborate boobytraps on our shoe locker
- pocket mirror to surreptitiously monitor our surroundings
- a length of chain to hide around our arm under our cloths for worst case scenario and a direct confrontation occurs.

Actually, I wholeheartedly back each and every one of these preparations. Heck, I forgot to mention the pocket mirror myself.

>>2148853
You've decided to ask your mom for your phone back.
You find her sitting in the living room, reading some papers.

"Mom."
"Yes, Ken?"
"Well, I've been grounded for a while now...And I've properly reflected on my actions on skipping school...so, er..."

She looks up at you, before returning to what she's reading.
"So you want your phone back."
"Yes, mom."

She puts her hand in between her cleavage, and pulls out your phone.
"...Moooom..."
"Don't be mistaken. If it were up to me, I'd be keeping your phone for longer. But I'll be out of town for a while, so I need a way to contact both you and your father."
She tosses you your phone.

You're surprised to find it's a flip phone from who knows how long ago. Some of them have internet capabilities, right?
"Don't spend too much time playing with your phone, even if it is a weekend."
You don't think this thing even has games...

Before you head up to your room, there is one thing you have to ask your mother. There might not be a chance for a while.
"Mom."
It looks like caught the seriousness in your tone. She turns and faces you.
"What is [BAD END]?"
She looks at you with unchanging expression. Then, she sighs and fixes the papers she's reading.
"If you want me to tell you..."
As she passes by, she says her condition.

"You know what needs to be done. Burn all your connections."

do we really think we can get useful intel from this line of questioning? So far whenever we get info from others its been suspect or partial and we've been riding this rail of rubbing our nose right on the main story-line. We should go back to being a shadow gather Intel ourselves rely mainly on [Mob] contacts maybe build up a relationship with our neighbor, although that is also a construct of the setting since he moved in next door right after we did.

Wait...what if this [Bad End] is ending as a NEET again?

>>2148952
"How the hell do you connect with this thing..."
You've been fiddling with the flip phone for a while now. It's been ages since you've had one.
You were about to give up when your phone rings.

You look at the caller ID. Your blood runs cold.
You answer.
"...Hello?"
"Yo, Aniki! I heard you got your phone back. Thought I'd check up on ya, you know?"

>How are you doing?
>You were lying to me.
>>
>>2148968
>You were lying to me. that or you were somehow wrong
>>
>>2148968
>Thought you knew what I was doing already.
>So, what's up with you?
>>
>>2148968
>>You were lying to me.
>>
>>2148968
This >>2148975

Let's try to keep a casual conversation.
>>
>>2148968
>How are you doing?
>>
>>2148968
>>You were lying to me.
There are more that are aware.
Give answers.
You already know the questions.
What is the [BAD END], and why don't we have a quality computer?
>>
>>2148952
does that include [Mob] connections
>>2148967
Unlikely since for her to tell us about it would be to become NEET and She doesn't seem to be a fan of [BAD END]
>>
>>2148968
>How are you doing?

He wasn't necessarily lying but he likes the persona of devil and thus probably took a deal of enjoyment giving us partial info.
>>
>>2148968
>You were lying to me. that or you were somehow wrong
>>
>>2148975
For the record, this is basically

>How are you doing?

With a more casual air.
>>
>>2148968
>How are you doing?

No point in demanding answers from someone who considers themselves the devil.
>>
>>2148983
who else is aware?

We broke our [Mob] role, we don't know who the They are yet but they are a common trope in anime school settings.
>>
>>2148968
I only just now saw the influx of how are you doing votes, sorry about that.

"You were lying to me, Kei."
"Geez, not even asking me how I am? Well, whatever. I'm doing fine, by the way. So you think I was lying?"
"That, or you are wrong."
"Aw, Aniki, I didn't know you've had so little faith in me all this time. It kinda hurts."
"Well, I don't know if you'll believe me when you already mistrust me this much, but I guess I'll try anyway.

"Listen, Aniki. I have not lied or misled you in any way so far. All that I have told you is the truth."

You are taken aback. What...is he saying?

>[BAD END]?
>Only one [Asleep]?
>Why are you telling me all this anyway?
>>
>>2149028
>>[BAD END]?
Tell me what you know, fuckboi
>>
>>2149028
>[BAD END]?
>>
>>2149028
>>Only one [Asleep]?
This then
>[BAD END]?
>>
>>2149028
>>[BAD END]?

Also, when are you coming home to hang out with your Aniki?
>>
>>2149028
>What do you know about Mom, then? What's this [BAD END] you both fear?
>>
>>2149031
Maybe he has been telling the truth, but only the part that was true at the time, rather than all of it?
>>
>>2149028
>[BAD END]?
>Only one [Asleep]?
He did also say that us and him were the only people awake though
>>
>>2149028
>>[BAD END]?
How can I hear the damn brackets?!?
They don't say brackets or do air quotes, but I know the things they say are related to how this universe works. How does this work?
>>
>>2148968
How are you doing?
>>
>>2149028
>>[BAD END]?
>>Only one [Asleep]?
>>
>>2149028
>[BAD END]?
>Fuck is with the [brackets]
>>
>>2149028
>[BAD END]?
>Only one [Asleep]?
>>
>>2149028
>[BAD END]?
>Also what the fuck is up with the [Brackets] and how can I hear that shit?
>>
>>2149038
>>2149028
>why tell me all this anyway?
>When are you coming home? Shit gets boring.
>>
>>2149028
"B-But...what is [BAD END], then?"
"It's not what mom thinks it is, is the answer."

You are shocked. How does he know...?
You hear him giggle in the other line. "Why do you still doubt me, aniki?"
"Then, how does she know about it?"
"It's because of my relationship with her. She's the [Meta Character]'s mother. She's aware of some things, but being just a character in this universe, it's flawed. That's why."
"So she's not [Asleep]?"
"I already told you, right, Aniki? You're the only one."

You still find it a hard pill to swallow. Should you doubt him? Believe him?

"You still sound conflicted, aniki...tell you what, why don't I give you proof that I'm on your side?"

>Alright
>No thanks
>>
>>2149071
>Alright, tell me about The Collective
>>
>>2149071
>Alright
We shouldn't trust him though
>>
>>2149071
>No thanks
>>
>>2149071
>>Alright
>>
>>2149080
>>Alright, tell me about The Collective
And did you have a girlfriend while you were in my spot?
>>
>>2149071
>Alright
>>
>>2149071
>And that would be...?
>>
>>2149071
>>2149089
Seconding
>>
>>2149080
I'll back this. Also, back home again.
>>
>>2149071
>Alright, tell me about The Collective
>>
>>2149080
>>2149089
We should also ask about [bad end]
>>
>>2149081
>>2149080
saying alright means "Give us what you offer" and thus trusting him. same as asking for his input. let him rub his hands in the background all he wants he fucked off to tokyo because he didn't want to play the game and that caused us to get dragged into it. He only got back in because hes an ass and is trolling us.
>>
>>2149099
We can choose not to trust him, I say we let him "help" us and then draw our own conclusions from there
>>
>>2149071
>It's because of my relationship with her. She's the [Meta Character]'s mother. She's aware of some things, but being just a character in this universe, it's flawed. That's why
So that means our dad has meta knowledge too, like our mom
>>
>>2149120
Unless he's lying
>>
>>2149071
>Sure, and how the fuck do I access the internet on this phone?
>>
>>2149108
except BSG has a tendency to run with threads outside of player intent and by saying Sure we trust you will have our character trusting him even if a hand full of people said they didn't want to.

On top of that Hes a [Meta Character] the fourth wall doesn't exist for him and hes reading this thread.
>>
>>2149133
>hes reading this thread.
Crap
STOP BEING A SHIT [Meta Character]
>>
>>2149149
There's no proof of that, it is a possibility though
>>
>>2149124
I kind of believe him when he said he didn't lie, Devils in most incarnations are known for being dishonest with complete honesty.
>>
>>2149071
"So, you're going to tell me what the collective is?"
"...Eh? Well, I have a different thing in mind actually. But if you want to know, telling you isn't really any problem."
"Then, please."
"...Well, er, I don't really know what you want. It's already pretty self explanatory, right?"

You raise your eyebrows. That's almost the exact same thing Nakahara said earlier.

"Anyway! I promised you something better, aniki. Proof that I want to help you."
"...Alright, then. What is it?"
"Great! I'll send it over. Oh by the way, please don't call me everytime you have a question, alright? It's annoying, and I probably won't help you anyway. I shall be the one calling you...woah, saying that is kinda cool huh! Well, bye."
Click.
"...Hello?"

You check your phone. He's gone.
Your phone vibrates again. It's a message from your brother.
It's a phone number, with a simple message attached.

TECH SUPPORT :)

>>2149191

>>2149168
You dial the tech support number.
"...Hello?"
"Ah, yes, good evening. Is this tech support for XXXXXXXXX? I don't know if you still support this model, but I've got a problem conn--"
"Yamada-kun?"

You freeze. You didn't even realize you know the voice.
"...Hanazawa."

>cont'd
>>
Okay, so this is just one big-ass game. Interesting. Everyone's a player with a part to play, and we're trying to flip the script.
>>
The collective is pretty self explanatory so long as there isn't an extra-dimensional spin to it.

Options are
-Eiji fan club, we threaten the perfectly balanced harrem with all of them providing just the right counter to the others leaving him technically single
-Oujos guard(if females) Oujos Knights(if male) they see you as an interloper getting to close to their Oujo-sama
-fan club of any other of the Harem, less common but not unheard of
-Social order police. Nippon doesn't like standouts and the tallest blade of grass gets cut.
-[Mob] antibodies, we stepped out of our role as a [Mob] least bullshit of the extra-dimensional fuckery that could potential happen and we know there is said fuckery since [Erasure] has [Brackets]

>>2149215
Warned you guys
>>
>>2149215
Heh, Hanazawa's part time job is tech support?

Explains why she's doing programming too.
>>
>>2149215
An awkward silence on the line. She's not speaking, which makes it even harder for you to say anything.
...That bastard Kei...

"So..." Somehow, your hearing has become super sensitive. You could hear her twirling her hair on the other line. "I don't recall giving you my number, Yamada-kun."
"S-Sorry, I'll--"
"Don't hang up." You hear her spinning on her chair. You're positive that that should be impossible. "I'm just wondering how you got it. I'm not mad."

"I...got pranked. I didn't know it was your number, honestly."
"Yeah, I guessed so. You thought I was...tech support?"
"Yeah. I'm having trouble connecting to the internet with my phone."

"Hmm. That is a problem, huh." You hear the clacking of her keyboard. Is that a mechanical? "I'm afraid that company shut down some time ago, too."

>So it was just a stupid prank, after all.
>Wait a second...Kei's a genius.

"Hanazawa, could you search the web for the model..."
You were never getting a tech support number, since the company has shut down long ago. So instead, Kei gave you the number of your most technically competent acquaintance.

"Sure, no problem." You hear her clacking away on the keyboard again.
"Where are you searching, Hanazawa?"
"Hm? Oh no, I was actually going to a board to ask..."

"...You even know about boards...?"

After sometime, she returns to you.
"Thanks for waiting. And...well, sorry. From what I got, it seems to be a model that could only send e-mails and make calls."

...Nevermind, Kei's an asshole. He could've just told you that instead, that bastard.

"Well...Yamada-kun, what are you going to do now?"

That's more on the universe than on Hanazawa

"I don't really know...Hanazawa, do you have any suggestions?"
"Well, if you only need a way to surf the web then of course a mobile phone would be more affordable. But then, you can't deny the usefulness and power of a laptop, especially if you don't have a personal computer yet. Ah, but mobile phones nowadays are powerful in their own right..."

You couldn't help but let out a chuckle.
"...Yamada-kun?"
"Nothing, just ignore me. I just thought that doing tech support might be a good calling for you after all."
"...Is that so?"
"Yes. You have a nice telephone voice."
"Hmm..."

You hear her finger tapping on the table.
"Then, dear customer, I think that warrants you to be fathered into the extended service."
"Extended service?"
"That's right."
You hear her take a deep breath.

"Front of the station at 11."

I dunno, she got jealous at first but seems to have calmed down quite a bit. Didn't even get suspicious of us with the class rep in our house.

Although admittedly, I do find a pinch of possessiveness cute. I would be warded away if she got mad about us hanging with Eiji since it meant we were all around a bunch of other girls, but I don't think she'd do that.
>>
>>2149349
Hanazawa is one smooth tech support operator there.

I almost expect her to do a SHAFT headtilt.

>>2149352
this also seems like a viable option, unless the mob is hers. also possible wrinkle is she is a false Oujo. You know the one who was super rich but now her dad is under investigation for embezzling and she is just putting on airs hoping no one notices. Ultimately making the MC of an acceptable social strata and the one to come to her aid and support her financially in the happily ever after scenario.
>>2149369
Hes the MC, We should stop getting involved with the main arc We are inside a [Mob] and people have taken notice which is a bad thing.
>>
>>2149349
In a surprising twist of fate, you wake up at 10:30 in the morning.
"Oi, Ken-chan, slow down!"
"Can't dad, I'm gonna be late!"
You sprint out the door before hearing what else your dad has to say.

You wonder if this is a part of your little brother's scheme, after all...

The station is some ways away from your house. You feel the vibration of your phone in your pocket. You know who it's from, which makes you run even faster.
By the time you arrive at the station, it's 11:20.
Hanazawa stands under a tree, phone still in hand, twirling her hair.

"...You're late, Yamada-kun."
"S-Sorry..."

You wonder why you somehow or another, you always apologize.
And why she always responds by smiling and shaking her head.

"It's ok. Sorry for acting mean."

>So, what did you call me here for today?
>As a guy, you should take the initiative
>>
Funny thing? I don't feel like this impacts my plans much yet. The general idea ALL still seems to be the same.

-Keep away from Eiji and Ryoufor a couple days
-Keep ourselves in a position where the harem feels the need to make amends to us
-Investigate the world.

Just now we've added on
-Watch out for the Collective

onto that. Hell, I'm wondering if there's a way we can't turn this to our advantage if we play our cards right. Just need to know EXACTLY what 'The Collective' IS. Not educated guesses, the official word.

it means progress her route, this is a bad thing because it makes her a more violent landmine that can pop up at any time when we are alone with another female character. which means we would need a write in with every such encounter to counter the worlds love for relationship hi jinks.

Remember how it was completely undone because we didn't mention our Dad in that write in?

if we waifu Hanazawa we will need to have a write in that specifies how to deal with Hanazawa every time we are in any situation that she might take as threatening our relationship.

"So, Hanazawa," As a guy, you need to take up the initiative here. That's what you stayed up late for, right?
"There's a good movie showing, I've heard that the ratings are pretty good...ah, but if you're hungry right now, there's this nice italian place that opened recently...um..."
Hanazawa looks surprised at first, but then she giggles.

"...Hanazawa?"
She steps forward and fixes your bangs. She likes doing that, you noticed.
"I was actually thinking of going over your options on what to buy."
"O-Oh..." You feel your face growing redder by the second.
She grins and pulls out several sheets of paper from your bag.

"I forgot to ask for your budget, so I searched for cheap options as well as value for money ones. I have several choices for both laptops and phones, too."
"...Uh-huh."
She looks up from the papers, smiles, and goes on her tip toes to whisper in your ears.
"I'm free for whatever afterwards, though, Yamada-kun."

"H-Hanazawa!" You glance around. "Too close...someone might see you..." You swear that you saw some classmates earlier, too.
"That so?"
"Yeah..."
"I don't really mind, though?"
"...Eh?"

Her smile has not disappeared at all. "Well...if you don't like it, we could always call this whole thing off."
"What are you...oi, Hanazawa, wait for me!"

You start to chase for Hanazawa.

"At least, let me buy coffee for you as an apology."
"OK. Thanks, Yamada-kun."

You see where this leads, for now.

>>2149492
We just have to get them to realize that we're with Hanazawa and her being the class rep's friend is the only reason we ever interacted with class rep and Eiji's crew. Once they think it's all incidental and that we're taken they'll ease up.

except those die hards that just want someone to shit on but there's no chance of getting rid of them at this point anyways.

>>2149473
You decide to pass through the small park to find a vending machine.

"Here you go, Hanazawa."
"Thank you."

She accepts your apology with a smile. You try not to worry about the sorry state of your wallet for now.

"Actually...could you excuse me for a second? I just need to just fix myself up."
She nods, sipping on the can.

You go to the nearest comfort rooms in the park. You wash your face and fix your hair in front of the mirror. That was embarassing, you think, you need to make up for that.
"...Might as well go while I'm here..."

Just as you turn around, the urinals are occupied by two guys. You make your way to the stall to take a leak.

Flush.

You push the door out the stal--
Er, you pull the door--

The door's stuck. Just as you were about to curse your bad luck, you see two sets of feet outside the door.

"You sure we got the right guy?"
"Yeah, it's him."
"Alright. Hold it down."

No, the key here is to not panic. Be ready, yeah, but don't panic. Depending on what they're here for, we might be able to trick them. I doubt they'll listen to reason, but we might be able to get some info out of them before we make our move. Or, possibly, we could get on top of the stool, and hop the barricade if there's no one in the others, and get them to talk a bit, or just run.

I told you, this could have all been avoided. What are we carrying on our person? How tall is the stall? We need to formulate the most efficient route. Bust heads first ask questions after.

I would like to point out that there's lots of hard surfaces in a public bathroom, and that the air dryer makes a nice club to wield. Also don't be afraid to slam skulls into toilets.
>>
Regarding the future sessions:

-So far, we've been doing a regular 1:00 to 5:00 UTC run almost daily. As much as I'd like to continue that, it's looking unlikely on my end.

-Expect the next few weeks up to around mid to late January to have an inconsistent schedule. Not just on start times, but on days we're running as well.

-The most I could commit for now is 2-3 sessions per week (subject to change) Start times could also vary as well.

-Possible start times: 16:00, 20:00, 21:00, 1:00 (UTC)

-------

I would like to say, thank you so much for reading Mob Character quest. Your write ins and reactions are what keep me motivated to continue writing. My commitment is that there will be a proper end for to this quest no NTR or BAE shit, I swear

No run on Sunday. Monday is 50/50. Tuesday is a definite run day, though.

You ever see that ninja warrior show? Do you think we can replicate the spider man wall climb thing then elbow drop from above.

Fuck that, just leave

>>2149611
So what you're saying is we should murder them quickly and with as much less mess as possible.
>>
>>2149611
That's implying we sick around long enough for that to matter
>>
>>2149611
It's a public restroom out in the park, all we have to worry about is cctv and the police being able to identify us.
>>
>>2149614
You're in the wrong anime for that.

>>2149617
If it comes to a fight, and it probably will with how small a restroom is, just don't break anything. We haven't even got a job yet.
>>
I say that, as quickly as we can, just crawl straight under the stall door and make a run for it. Like it or not, we're outnumbered and without a weapon.
>>
>>2149625
Seriously, fuck that. If the store tries to make an issue of it, sue them for not providing adequate security in their store. This is Japan ffs, you can bully businesses for any little thing.
>>
>>2149630
We aren't in a store! It's a public restroom in a park! There's no one around to get mad!
>>
>>2149627
Maybe so, but it leaves the question of whether or not We're really able to outrun these two. At least with the Assault Blitz we'll have the advantage of surprise. Of course this is if the [Universe] isn't gonna fuck us over by having these two be ultra good at kicking ass AND running.
>>
>>2149625
its two on one, and even though we aren't our old fat NEET self we still aren't in fighting shape. Alpha strike is key here. The only reason Nakahara didn't win with her fight with us is she didn't immediately follow up after her opening strike. Our only objective is to get out of here and have them fucked up enough to seriously question a follow up and to spread the word to the collective.

We arn't some samurai, we arn't some main character, we are an extra-dimensional creature wearing a [Mob] as a skin suit.
>>
>>2149625
>Implying you couldn't pull that off IRL
I've seen some miraculous things friend. Ever lay witness to a 350 pound man do a back flip?
>>
Alright. We're caught in a public bathroom by 2 guys who are probably bigger than us. This is no bueno, but by no means unwinnable.
First things first, we need to gather our bearings. These guys seem like they're waiting for someone or something to come get us, so I doubt they'll try and break in, giving us a good amount of time to figure out a plan. With that in mind, I suggest we:
>A- Take the toilet seat as a weapon and go full retard.
Once we break out, it'll be pretty hard to stop us considering they'll be surprised to see us. Initiative is key here, just be sure to wipe down the seat first.
>B- Use the walls and climb over the top - parkour style.
While we won't have a weapon on us, we could probably hold out after the initial assault long enough to either grab a towel bar or get the fuck out. That said, this approach is the most versatile since once we got up on the wall, we'd quite literally have the drop on them. ba dum tss
>C- Sneak out the bottom into another stall.
Once there, we can go for them at another angle, provided they don't see us of course. I'd say this plan is mostly for escape though. We have a chance of sneaking away if they expect plans A or B.
The thing is, once we decide a course of action, there isn't gonna be a chance to go back. These guys are gonna go rat us out if we don't outright kill them, but if we escape we have to protect Hazanawa if there isn't a rule against hurting other [MOBS] or [MAIN CHARACTERS]. I'd say trying to escape is our best option as of now. We could try and lose them in the park or head into a store with Hazanawa if we can't shake them.
>>
Also if Hazanawa is part of the collective and was luring us here all along I will be a very sad man
>>
>>2149690
I would not be surprised, but it would be a revealing experience and be proof that We should NOT TRUST A DAMN MOTHERFUCKER IN THIS WORLD.

Its a little fishy now you mention it, I'll put faith in her until we see proof though.

I mean, if she is, well, all i'm saying is, aside from a nut shot, we could over power her... god if she turns out to be a secret agent for the mob collective... i may make rash write-ins... but if our brother is to be believed its not like she's a real person so... god damn, this feel i'm feeling feels feely

We must believe in her, we must believe in our Hanazawa

Just call or text dad or some shit. Given his powers as [The Meta's Dad], he's probably right around the fuckin corner anyways. How do you think we kept running into him so 'coincidentally'?

Better yet, call the police.
Thast would be a completely unexpected move.

That's just asking for the police to arrest us on false pretense.

If We do call the cops, our best chance is that they either end up having guns on their person that we can swipe and use on the bad guys or use them as disposable distractions.

“Hold it down.”

You back away from the door. A trap. The guys who came in and occupied all the urinals are now holding the door shut.

There’s a gap on the top, but the door’s tall. The door also has space in the bottom, but it’s going to be a tight fit. Not to mention, it’s wet with ‘liquids’.

“Where’s that piece of…”

It looks like they’re waiting for another guy. You’re not going to wait to find out why.

>>2155392

You ram the door down with your shoulder.
“Shi--!”
The door budges a little. You caught them by surprise, but not enough. They push back, shutting you off again.

You start kicking the door. But there isn’t enough room to gain momentum. The most you could do is push the door, but with two guys behind it, it’s not going anywhere.
“Pipe down, hothead!”
The two guys are laughing, but you sense that they are a bit shaken up.

You climb atop the toilet and jump to the stall.
“Wha--”
“Above us, above us!”

Indeed, the two [Mob]s that came in earlier are the ones on the door. One of them reaches for an object at the corner of the comfort room. A bucket.
He hooks the bucket closer to him. He grabs it, and swings.
“Ngh!”

He hits your temple. You lose grip of the door and fall awkwardly on the toilet.
“Ha! Nice hit!”
“Serves you right, idiot! Sit there and wait obediently!”

>”Who are you?!”
>Start screaming for attention
>Call someone on your phone
>>
>>2155469
I've got a better idea, start attempting to drag one of them in through the bottom.

>Grab one by the legs.
Writing.
>>
At the very least if we can get one and pull him, he'll crack his head on the tile.
>>
>>2155469
You lay on your chest, ignoring the wet sensation. You grab on one of the guy’s legs. You’re not going down without a fight.
“Oi!”

You pull him down. You almost pull him in but he uses his other leg to stop himself being dragged. He fell down hard, but he comes to quick.
“You little…!”

He starts kicking you in the face. The best you could do is hold on. He’s kicking like a wild horse, battering your face.
“Hold on, I’m here! I’m here!”

You hear someone shouting from outside the comfort room. Who--

You look up.
A rain of black liquid splashes all over you. Sewage.
The cold seeps into your bones. You let go of the leg.

“Fucker got some on my pants…!”
“Let’s beat him up, teach him a lesson.”
“No, no,” the third one speaks up. “Beating up the guy’s gonna get the cops on us. Besides, I don’t want to dirty my shoes on this garbage.”

You stagger to your feet. The smell is overwhelming. But it’s not the cold, nor the thrashing on your face that’s making you dizzy.
It’s the repeating question in your mind.

Why? What did I do to deserve this? Why? What did I do?

“Let’s bounce, man.”
“Alright, alright.” A final kick to the door. “See ya later, Gomasuri-kun!”
“Ha! Gomasuri-kun! I like that! Hahaha!”

The three shuffle out the comfort room. The stall door opens with no resistance. They’re gone.

Gomasuri-kun, they called you.

‘Ass-kisser’.

>cont’d
>>
Time to ask Papi how to kick ass better.
>>
>>2155547
Well while we got Sewer'ed, We still pushed them to the point of almost wanting to kick our ass.
This means we should train and learn to hurt people.
>>2155553
This in spades. Also We really need to learn how to fight like a hardcore motherfucker.
>>
>>2155547
You stagger out the comfort room. All the people in the park are staring at you. Some whisper to each other, some jeer. Some children laugh at you, holding their nose while waving their hands. Some cry, terrified.

“Yamada-kun? Yamada-kun!”

You see a familiar face running up to you. That’s right, you were with Hanazawa a while ago.
She stops within a few steps from you, and pulls out a handkerchief.

“Yamada-kun, what happened?!”

That's assuming the bucket hittingus actually cut us at all.

>>
>>2155584
“There were several guys...I think they saw me enter the comfort room, and followed me and--No, Hanazawa don’t do that.”

You stop her and step back as she tries to wipe you with her handkerchief. “I’m going to ruin that if you use it on me.”
Her eyes widen, then narrow with resolve. She grabs you by the shirt, and starts wiping your face.
You watch as her white hankie gets blacker with filth.
Now, more than ever before, you notice how beautiful black and pink eyeliner suits her, especially when they’re concentrating hard like that.

“Did anything happen to you, Hanazawa?”
“...Some guys approached me.”
“Loiterers?”
“No. Third years. I don’t know them personally, but...”

She tries to fix your hair matted with sewage.

“They said you left and called today off.”

>I’ll never do that
>Thanks for believing I didn’t

>>2155651
Yeah that is a pretty good question. This would have been an event that could have gone either way.

>>2155653

>>2155689
And that proves your point... how? A baseball bat would be enough to put even tough boys out of commission, if you got hit in the gut out of nowhere.
>>
>>2155653
“Well...thanks for believing I didn’t.”

The hands working on you stop.
“...Hanazawa?”

Her hands fall to her side, balled up into fists. She isn’t looking at you anymore, but at the ground.
“But I did.”
“But you did what, Hanazawa?”
“I did believe them.”
“...”

Her hair covers the emotions on her face. The only thing you could see is her biting her lip, strong enough to almost draw blood.
“...But what matters right now is you’re here. You came back for me. Thank you.”

You try to calm her down. But something tells you that the conflicts here lie deeper than you realize. So for now--

>Let’s get out of here, Hanazawa

While it'd be funny to one-up them by going about our day, it'd draw a lot of attention.
>>
>>2155686
There was a reason I brought up specifically aiming our kicks around the latch/lock, because that's usually what stops the door from opening, and with enough time and focus that lock would be broken due to damage the door took. Fucking hell teaching you how to kick a door open is one of the things that they teach firefighters.

>Let’s get out of here, Hanazawa
Our dad probably has a personal gym at home and he did get in a lot of fights
>>
>>2155701
Also backing >>2155708 and>>2155710, we need to shower.
>>
>>2155701
“Let’s get out of here, Hanazawa.”
She doesn’t budge. She seems to be lost in a dark place.

You sigh and grab her by the hand. The stares at you are intense. You don’t care. The only thing in your mind is getting her and yourself out of this place.

At first, she lets herself be dragged. But eventually, she matches your pace, until she’s walking by your side, grasping your hand, ignoring your stench and the filthy texture of your palms.

-------

“Ken-chan, you’re ba--gah, you stink!”

For some reason, you’ve dragged her all the way back to your house. Until now, you haven’t let go of her hand, and neither has she.

“Um...no offense Ken-chan, but is this some sort of kink play I don’t know about?”

You let go of each other.

“Dad...Hanazawa and I aren’t like that.”
“Ah...that so…”
“Anyway, could you show her the comfort room? I’ll just borrow the hose for awhile.”

“Sure thing. Come here, Hanazawa-chan.”
She leaves your side, glancing at you, before following your dad inside.

“Uh, no offense, Hanazawa-chan, but might I recommend a shower for you too?”

You head for the garden hose.

>cont’d
>>
>>2155737
You wash yourself with the hose fully turned on. This would have been a nice way to cool down in the summer, but it’s the middle of spring. You shiver as you try to clean every inch of your skin.

“Ken-chan, hand me that.”

Your dad pops back out in the yard and takes the garden hose from you. He washes you down the same way he does with your mom’s white car.

“...Ken-chan, are you being bullied?”

>Yes. Teach me how to fight back.
>No. There’s nothing to worry about.
>>
>>2155746
>Yes. Teach me how to fight back.
Also, try to carry an improvised weapon with us at all times.
>>
>>2155746
>Kinda? I got the attention of what I can only assume to be a VERY enthusiastic fan club...or the child mob. Not sure really. Pricks locked me in the bathroom. And I know who they are.
>>
>>2155746
>Bullying implies I care. I just need to put people in their place.
>>
>>2155746
>"Yes. Teach me how to fight back."

We need to lrn2fight. And we can't take no for an answer.

>>2155752
I second the improvisation of weapons.
>>
>>2155746
>Yes. Teach me how to defend myself.
>>
>>2155752
Seconded about the weapons.

>>
>>2155766
problem is we still dont know if any of the girls are necessarily involved, could be like inception where the [Mob] characters start acting as an involuntary defense.
>>
>>2155746
>Yes. Teach me how to fight back.
This all could harken back to us feeling watched while walking with Eiji to the club rather than relating to Kobayashi and the other girls.

>>2155752
Something like a kubotan or long key chain maybe?
>>
>>2155754
This.
>>
>>2155746
>Yes. Teach me how to fight back.
>>
>>2155771
I think it's been made pretty clear whenever we asked who "The collective" were by the sarcastic 'who do you think they are' responses we get
>>
>>2155752
I oppose carrying a weapon. It'll only lead to unfortunate questions either when someone discovers it or after we've used it.
>>
>>2155773
A literal padlock can work well enough as a punching weapon. One for each fist, and it's VERY inconspicuous.
>>
>>2155787
Lets become the delinquent we were always meant to be.
>>
>>2155746
>>Yes. Teach me how to fight back.
>>
>>2155787
The problem is that we're being targeted and we're not stronk enough it seems to not need one to kick ass, so we're gonna have to be pragmatic as fuck to get a leg up over the competition.
>>
>>2155794
I support this wholeheartedly. Fuck the system, and fuck everyone in our general vicinity that isn't Class Rep, Hanazawa, Eiji, Jogger Buddy, or Delinquent-chan.
>>
>>2155794
Clearly it's the only way if we wanna win this war and get the MC!
For the Class Rep of course.
>>
>>2155787
Like I said, improvised. Carrying around a knife? That'd be stupid. But a stack of coins or a padlock? It'd take someone special to think we're DEFINITELY using them as weapons.
>>
>>2155807
Think we could get away with a multitool? It'd be pretty useful if we got locked somewhere again or need to get into something/somewhere.
>>
>>2155815
Plus, a screwdriver is a handy shank.
>>
>>2155815
I'd say that'd work. If not, lockpicking is a useful skill.
>>
>>2155746
>Yes. Teach me how to fight back.

Teach us based dad
>>
>>2155746
“I don’t know if I’d call it bullying it yet but...dad, at least teach me how to fight back.”

He frowns, before turning off the water.

“Ken-chan. You see this?” He then takes the opportunity to flex his left bicep. “You know how I got this?”
“...Beating the next city’s bancho?”
“No. Carrying boxes of meat and produce to the grocery. And this,”
He then flexes his right bicep.
“I got from working part time at construction sites. What’s my point, Ken-chan?”
“Get a part time job?”
“...Ok, that too. But my main point is I didn’t get to where I am right now by beating my way up the hierarchy. Yes, I fight when I needed, but only then. I think every high school kid has gone through what you have in some stage of their life. You know how I got through it?”

He leans against the wall and crosses his arm.
“By not being bully-able.”
“Bully-able?”
“That’s right. I became the bigger man. Any of the people who tried to look down on me I considered as people having nothing better to do. Because that’s what they are in the end.
“If you fight back, you’re just letting them know they’re getting to you. And you could have all the fighting ability you could get, you’ll never defeat sheer numbers.”

“So what do you suggest I do? Nothing?”
“Not nothing. Become un-bully-able. Cultivate your body. Live a better life than them. The best fighters need not hit to strike.”

>Alright. How do I become un-bully-able?
>You’re wrong. I need to fight.
>>
>>2155830
>Alright. How do I become un-bully-able?
>>
>>2155830
>>You’re wrong. I need to fight.
Sorry dad, but capitulation doesn't work these days.
>>
>>2155830
Welp, dad's useless, no wonder mom was the main force of nature in the relationship. Hopefully he'll at least help us get stronk.

>Alright. How do I become un-bully-able?
>>
>>2155830
>>You’re wrong. I need to fight.

I thought we had a cool dad, mom must really have his nuts in a vice for years to whip him this bad.
>>
>>2155830
>Alright. How do I become un-bully-able?
Let's listen to what he has to say, but I'm still not gonna follow it. Quite frankly, it'll be quicker than arguing with him.
>>
>>2155830
>Alright. How do I become un-bully-able?
We can fight on our own time, they will escalate pretty soon when they notice we don't break. Like asking a certain delinquent for training.
>>
>>2155843
This is how I'm viewing it, cause at least this way he'll 'hopefully' give us a regiment.
>>
>>2155830
>>Alright. How do I become un-bully-able?
Ask mom for fighting advice later.
>>
>>2155830
>Alright. How do I become un-bully-able?
>>
>>2155830
>Alright. How do I become un-bully-able?
At the very least he'll have advice for endurance training. We can practice fighting on our own time.

Little condescending though, seeing as we'd have sewage dumped on us whether we fought back or not.
>>
>Alright. How do I become un-bully-able?
Writing.
>>
>>2155830
“Alright, dad. How do I become un-bully-able then?”
“Isn’t it obvious, Ken-chan? You gotta learn how to fight!”
“...Eh?”

“Gahahaha!” He slaps his knees. “Well, how will you not be bullied if they find out you punch like a radish? You need to show you’re no pushover. I just don’t want you out there looking for a fight, because in the end it would end with all of you dead, physical or metaphorical.”

You nod. Your dad smiles, and ruffles your wet hair.

“I’m only teaching you for your self defense, Ken-chan. Everything that I said earlier is still the best way of handling things. Get a club, get fitter, get a part time job, everything that a normal high schooler should do. But most of all,”

He gives you a thumbs up. “Rely on your pals. They’re the ones that’ll get you through this. Remember the ones who love you, instead of the ones who don’t.”

They said the same thing, Nakahara and your dad. You guess that’s the wisdom of the battlefield.

“Or get a cute girlfriend. That works surprisingly well actually.”
“...Is that how you dated mom?”

He winks.

>cont’d
>>
>>2155899
>Is that how you dated mom?

Dad is a smooth motherfucker...literally.
>>
>>2155899
The real question is if the girls trying to date the MC are the cause of this, or if its the world reacting to our actions.
>>
>>2155906
kek
>>
>>2155920
At this point it's probably safer to just assume both.
>>
>>2155920

But they did say 'kiss ass'

to whom? Who did we kiss ass'd with?

is it because [mob] know that they cant interact with MC?

an immunity response then...

our cheeky brother might be a wildcard for this
>>
After washing off all the sewage, your dad instructs you to head to the shower immediately.

“Dad, where’s Hanazawa?”
“In our room. Expecting something, ero-Ken?”

And with that, he kicks you inside the bathroom to take that shower.
You wash yourself down with soap and shampoo.
“...Ngh.”
The shampoo stings as it drips from your hair. You look at yourself in the mirror.

Your face is marked with light bruises. Your glad that the bucket didn’t leave a gash at your head either. You keep staring at the mirror and looking at yourself.

Despite all the injuries, you still look as forgettable as ever.

-------

As you change into your clothes, you climb down to the living room to meet Hanazawa. She’s sitting there, reading a magazine, looking a bit red.

And for some reason, she’s wearing your clothes too.

“Y-Yamada-kun.”
She stands up, and you see her outfit in full view. The shirt she’s wearing is way too big for her, reaching down to her thighs. She fidgets with the corner of the shirt. Avoiding your gaze.

“I-I tried your mom’s clothes, but they were too big, so your dad gave me your shirt...um…”

>”How’s my shirt?”
>”Are you alright now?”
>”What do we do now?”
>>
>>2155950
They could of been hired thugs from that Ojou-sama bitch, since she thinks we're helping Ryou, and Ryou being the Class Rep, one could consider us helping her as "Kiss Assery"

>>

>”How’s my shirt?”
>>
>>2155973
“How’s my shirt?”
“Well...it’s pretty boring.”

She stretches out the shirt to look at it.
“Er, sorry.”
“Don’t be.” She giggles. “I’ve come to associate these kinds of shirts with you, somehow.”

She then faces you, smiling, arms behind her back. “Besides, it’s got your scent on it.”
“My scent?”
“Yes. Right now, I’m filled with you.”

“Y-You haven’t eaten lunch yet, right, Hanazawa?”
“Now that you mention it…”
“Well. if you still have the appetite, I could cook something up for the both of us.”
“I’d like that a lot. Thank you.”

You make your way to the kitchen.
“By the way, Hanazawa…”
“Yes?”
“You have to watch how you say things. They could be misconstrued by, er, someone else you know?”
“Is that so.”
“Yeah. I mean, it’s ok if it’s someone who knows you a bit, like me, but--”
“Even if I’ll only say those things around you?”
“E-Er…”

You decide to ignore her statement and make your way towards the refrigerator. Since your dad loves to cook, it’s usually filled to the brim with all sorts of ingredients.
Right now, though, it’s near empty.

“Whoa.”
“What is it, Yamada-kun?”
“Did you see dad around?”
She shakes her head. “He left a while ago. Maybe he went to buy groceries?”

You sigh and close the door. “Well, what do we do for lunch then?”

“Ken-kuuuuuun! I came over to plaaaaaay!”

“I saw your dad on the way here and...ara?” Ryou walks into your house as if it’s her own. And now, she’s staring at you, Hanazawa, and the outfit she has on, almost letting go of her white plastic bag in the process.

“M-My bad, Yamada-san. I shall be of--”
“Ryou. Hold on a minute. You’re misunderstanding.”

You told her about why she’s wearing your clothes, but you decide to dance around the sewage issue for now.

“Hmm...so basically, her clothes got dirty, you asked her to come over, and the only shirt that fit is yours? How about your mom’s, Ken?”
“Ah,” Hanazawa says. “I tried them on, but they were a bit roomy in the chest area.”
“...I know what you’re trying to say, but that’s still my mom, Hanazawa…”

You then turn to the class rep.
“What brings you here anyway, Ryou?”
“Hm? Isn’t it obvious?” She raises her plastic bag. “Cooking lessons.”

“Uh, sure. Great timing actually, dad went out to go shopping since we’re out of food.”
“That so? Yeah, I met him on the way here. I bought enough ingredients for four people.”
“Four?”
“Yeah. I was thinking of cooking enough for your whole family.”
“I appreciate the gesture, but you need to learn how to cook first, class rep…anyway, my mom will be out for a while too.”
“That so? Then it’s nice that we have Hanazawa-san with us today, right?”

Hanazawa nods. She’s staying pretty quiet amidst this conversation.

“And class rep, while we’re cooking…”
“Yes?”
“There are some things you might need to know.”

-------

You tell her everything that has happened so far. The stares, being kicked out of the clubroom, being stalked, and finally the earlier incident. As you tell more and more of your story, her expression gets darker and darker.

“Ken...why are you telling me all this?”
“Why? Because--

Eiji wanting to be our friend will set him against those targeting us over interacting with him, which'll make anyone else standing with us look better.

“I was thinking this might be your chance to step in and get closer to Nakamura-san. With the girls having a disagreement with him, he’ll be able to see you in a better light.”

Silence. The sound of chopping of carrots. Then,

“Idiot!” Ryou starts waving the knife at you. “Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!”
“Oi, stop flailing that thing around, Ryou!”

She soon realizes what she’s doing, but with anger not yet passing, she stabs the knife straight into the chopping board.
“Look, I know it seems a bit underhanded, yes, but--”
“Idiot! You want me to think about me and Eiji when you here are getting sewage dumped on you, followed, and called terrible names?!”
“Yeah, but now’s your chance--”
“Oh, so it’s my favor that’s caused all this? Then I’m calling it off. I’ll even give up on Eiji.”
“Ryou…”
“If that’s what it takes to show you how serious I’m worrying right now, then so be it.”

She’s breathing rapidly. The fire in her eyes have lit up. There’s that determination again.
“...You’re worrying about the wrong guy, class rep.”
“I’m not. I’m scared for Yamada Ken.”
“...Alright. I know how serious you are now. You don’t have to call it all off.”

Ryou’s breath is coming down but she’s still glaring at you.
“It’s your fault, anyway…”
And with that, she turns her head and returns to chopping carrots.
“What do you mean?”
“I told you not to associate with the other girls! Now they’re after you.”

There it is again…’they’.

“Who is this ‘they’, class rep? The collective?”

“They, the collective, whatever you want to call it, it's all the same.”

“Listen, Ken-kun. You’re not going against just a group. You call it the collective, and you're right. Because that's literally who you're up against. EVERYONE.”

She stops her chopping and faces you.
“Think about this for a moment, Ken-kun. Nakamura Eiji is the guy that somehow got the 2 top beauties of the school to fall in love with him, the cutest kouhai among the first years, and has an innocent beautiful childhood friend that makes you want to protect her. He’ll be the most envied guy in the world in any other school.”

You nod. The enviers are present even in a different universe from this altogether.

“And yet there isn’t much chaos about him. Why? Since a balance was established. Eiji’s a nice guy, friendly to everyone, and dense as a brick. Most guys just say that at least it’s Eiji kun and leave our group alone. And now, in their eyes, a Gomasuri like you has come in to get a piece of the pie.”

“How about Tokomichi?”

“Tokomichi-kun? From what I know, he and Eiji are childhood friends. To their eyes, it’s alright since they’ve been friends for so long.

“But you just transferred in. And now you’re trying to get into the Research Club, something that’s considered as a sacred ground or something to them, I don’t really know. They think you’re getting all chummy cause you want to get closer to us girls.”

No. It's stupid, but I'm not like...angry. It's just baffling.

Logically, if they're all annoyed that someone is around him, then that means he'd have like, no friends at all expect that one kid and the girls. Everyone would be too incensed otherwise. What's more, it basically means that everyone who even talks to the guy should be suspect. There's no way he hasn't noticed that no one else talks to him much if that's the case- or at least, it's got to be something in the back of his head, dense though he might be.

The other thing about it is that it means that, I feel, if that's the case, then it would be almost pathetically easy to destabilize this little stalemate now that we know what the issue is. All we need is a recorder and one of the harem who's mouth is bigger than her brains.
>>
>>2156481
>So if I managed to convince everyone I wasn't interested in any of the girls in the research club they'd leave me alone?
>>
>>2156537
Maybe that's our next game plan then?
>>
In FACT, this whole shitburger of a situation is more telling than anything, because it means that everyone sees Eiji not as a person to be friends with, but either an insurmountable obstacle everyone's jealous of, or a trophy to be won- as much as I hate to say it, Ryou being willing to give up on Eiji so quickly, I think, is proof of that. Well, that and the fact that she's got some common human decency, which ironically probably makes her the best candidate to actually BE with Eiji.

So, actually, though, this STILL doesn't cause any deviation from the intended plan. We were ALREADY going to lay low for a while to let Ryou do her thing while the others try to recover. If Eiji approaches us, we can easily beg him off, citing 'us 'not wanting to intrude upon the girls territory'. When he inevitably retorts, well...

And yeah, we'll likely get accosted by one of the girls sooner than later- so yes, we just need to carry a recorder with us- and bide our time.
>>
>>2156537

A recorder is a wise investment

>Yet you sent me, knowing full well this is going to happen

You know, We should build our own Conspiracy Theorist hideout just so that We could have someone stumble upon our crazy scribbles and our corkboard of people's connections to eachother.

Which will hopefully push this genre into the abyss and add on a thriller/mystery genre.
Hopefully it'll also awaken the person that stumbles upon it, because it'll be tiring to take on this mystery alone and interesting to see their reaction to the revelation.
>>
>>2156560
Just be sure to keep up a polite facade at all times. If one of the girls approaches us we appologize again for overstepping our boundries and say we didn't mean to intrude on their club and keep pouring fuel to the guilt trip train.
>>
It's amazing, because this ENTIRE SITUATION- this whole cold roiling underground armistice- has exactly ONE point of failure.

Nakamura Eiji. If he clues into the fact that not only the entire male student body are jealous of him/hate him, and there's an underground war between the girls he considers his friends, and someone can verify proof of it?

EVERYTHING COLLAPSES.

I have no idea how the entire school student body has kept it under wraps for so long, but maybe that's just the anime-isms working.

Although, this does raise a concern.

[Happiness]. I think it's very clear now that, should we do this, that WHOLE 'Pick a girl to get with him to grant him happiness' thing is shot to hell. Which might cause [Erasure]. In fact, I could see a result of this being 'Eiji switches schools because fuck everyone here,' and should we live, we'd probably be tortured the rest of our days. But honestly, the more I learn about the situation, the more I'm convinced that none of the girls, even his so called best friend, would make him truly happy- especially not if he ever discovered just what sick depths they'd go to to make him theirs. It's a...dicey thing.

Anywho, I think that's as much analysis as I can dream up for now. Will need more info later.
>>
>>2156604
Basically. We'd have to word things carefully to see if they say EXACTLY what we want them to say, but that's the general idea.
>>
>>2156481
“That’s just stupid, if that’s what they expect. It was even Nakamura-san that asked me to come in the first place!"
“I agree,” Ryou adds.
“However, why is everyone against me now, then?”

“Well...for now it’s not everyone. It’s probably the fanclubs.”
“Whose?”
“All of ours.”
“‘Ours’? You have a fanclub?”

She turns and winks at you. “Aren’t you just the luckiest guy then, having me cook for you?”
“You can’t even cook.”
“...I’ve killed over lesser insults, but I shall look over that for now.
“Though I say fanclub, we’re talking about a large majority of the school body. All of the first years love Rinko-chan. Kobayashi has suitors from both students and teachers alike. Even Rei is extremely beloved in her niche. I guess people started to think that we’re untouchables just because we like Eiji?

“Basically, you’ve acted out of the norm. They think you’re different. And they don’t like that, so now they’re targeting you.”

You mull for a second over what she’s saying. A thought pops into your head.

“So when you say everyone, you just mean within the school, not like the [Mob]s in general right?”
“...Mob? Like, Yakuza?”
“Nevermind.”

You’ve confirmed two things. One, this isn’t the universe’s way of rejecting you just yet. And two, Ryou is not [Asleep] or anything like that.

“So--”

>>2156612
“Couldn’t you ask their leaders of the fanclub or something to stop this?”
“...There aren’t any leaders, Ken-kun. The way you put it - ‘the collective’ - sums it up nicely. It’s not an organized effort, more like a universal agreement of sorts. And even if me and Eiji stand up against them, they won’t even listen to us. They’ve never listened to us. Not to me, not to Kobayashi, nor to Rinko-chan, to Rei-chan, nor Eiji.”

You quietly resume your cooking.
>”They’ve never listened to us.”
You wonder if this has happened before.

Among all this discussion about the collective, as well as focusing your attention on teaching Ryou, you almost forgot that Hanazawa’s with you. She was in charge of the salad, but you notice she has stopped working.

“Um, Hanazawa, what do you make of all this?”

She turns towards you, eyes wide open.

”...[Mobs]?”

Now, I have an idea, a sick one, but an idea nonetheless.
The world exists for Eiji's happiness, and it seems to stay in a state where, when he reaches the climax of it all, the entire house of cards comes down.
Now, what if we could prevent this by ripping something away that's most dear to him? Preventing him to ever reach that point because of this dragging him away from that final point?
Honestly, we shouldn't give two shits about his, and his harem's feelings, we can have five people suffer or existence as we know it is completely gone.

She was always [Awakened], and at this point we should not trust our brother, he has been so misleading that we should just not take his word at all, [Erasure] could mean anything so lets assume it means nothing.

I doubt she is Meta, one of the key defining traits of Meta character is their interesting character, as for Hanazawa...

>But then you frown as you realize that she’s also just a [Mob Character] in this world. Her face has that same trait of being almost forgettable, like characters in a manga where they don’t sketch the eyes.

However, looking through, there is one thing I have notice about Hanazawa...

>You try to dig up the name in your head. One pops up. Hanazawa. Hanazawa Mayumi.
>“…Hanazawa-san.”

>She nods, before returning to her bag. You straighten up yourself as well, wondering in the back of your mind if Hanazawa really was her name, or if you just spoke it into existence…

We lost our memories of pretty much everyone, not even knowing the way to the classroom, our own family, or anything else. However, we somehow knew the name of some random [Mob] next to us.
>>
>>2157227
Interesting, could it be possible that [Awakened] can subtly sense other [Awakened] even if they are not aware of their faculties?
>>
>>2157227
>Her black hair tied back into a ponytail with a pink scrunchie, she’s cute in every definition of the word.

---
>Aside from her pink scrunchie, you now notice something like the pink and black eyeliner that she wears.


She is defiantly a mob character, but I think she might have been [Awaken] for a while. The only feature that we identify about her is from her accessories. I have a theory she is purposely trying to stand out from the mobs with such accessories.
>>
Didn't Hanazawa start wearing a red scrunchie and more distinctive clothing after we started interacting with her?
She's gaining awareness because we spend time with her.
>>
>>2157242
No, she had the pink scrunchie before we met her, I find it funny you just posted that right after I posted about it.
>>
So, seema our Dad gave sage advice again judging from this. If we date Hanazawa publicly, it should clear all this up

We should probably listen to him more often, his advice has so far not really gone bad. Unlike our brother.

>>2157261
Phoneposting so couldn't be arsed to check.
>>
>>2157239
>>2157249
You know this brings up a question I have had since you posted this theory.

If We are [Awakened] and Hanazawa is [Awakened] and/or slowly being [Awakened], does this mean that there are other [Awakened] outside of our brother, if there are then We must remain extremely careful with who we interact with in the near future even moreso. If there are not anymore [Awakened] (Which I'm starting to doubt) then what makes a [Asleep] person [Awake]?
>>
>>2157276
My Theory:
To become [Awake] you must [Awaken] from being [Asleep]. Since meeting brother the first time, it is impossible for Hanazawa to [Awaken] or to be [Asleep]. Base on us, [Awaken] is an instant process, as soon as we notice something was wrong we gained all of our [Meta] knowledge, there was no slow process transition. Meaning Hanazawa [Awaken] some time between before we [Awoke] up until right before we meet brother.

Quick question for you anons
Why the fuck do you keep voting for aggressive options? Playing it cool and smart will win, not rash action. Stop trying to fight niggers, lay low, and utilize meta and mob properties as an advantage.
>>
>>2157513
I honestly think people seem to keep thinking we're going to be in a shonen/SOL anime or maybe they just watch too much shonen anime and presume that's how all of it works.

Alternately, they just want to fuck something up and watch the fireworks because they'd rather go down laughing and happy that they did something aggressive than be satisfied with patience and planning working out.

That might sound more dickish than I'm trying to make it seem, honestly.

It feeds a darkness deep inside me, is it still Schadenfreude if you want to BE the cause of pain to another? or is schadenfreude a more passive experience?

So why would Ryou's portion of the Collective be fine with her coming over to our house to cook? Or really, with any of the friendly behaviour she's shown us - including literally getting herself suspended over us. Hell, when we were first looking at club rooms and spying on the Research Club, she invited us in.
>>
>>2157638
Didn't she initiate first contact? Maybe that's a factor in the reaction of The Collective(s).
>>
Just caught up the thread. Sadly i never participated but from what we can surmised i propose this plan for anons to choose to

A. Allies
1. Ryou is out of the question since she is one of Eiji harem but we can ask her as a supporting advice like in MGS except there is no radio. She knows the universe more than we ever know.
2. Nakahara is the wild card here and either she is like batman who will save us on some deep shit or something and make her owe us. Instead forge friendship if we ever saw her being ganged up we can jump and become a force multiplier and make her owe us. But mainly we need her as a strongarm (purely optional)
3. Hanazawa and us should stick together but the anon in me is afraid that she would be targeted by the collectives and im not keen about it. But other collective seems that she was ignored pretty much but we need some back up.
And after this blows up when the spring cherry blossoms wil bloom Ken should confess to One True Waifu just like my Clannad Anime
4. Other Meta Awakened Character: BEWARE they may have unkown parameters but i would safely say that in this town there are some oddballs around here like a blacksmith in the middle of the city or a consiracy theorist on /x/chan (seriously we need to check the internet) but i would heavily discourage this

Lets do this the VISUAL KEY ANIMATION way we can do this and aim for True ending.
>>
>>2157638
because we declined and thus did not disrupt the balance. If we accepted then the collective will paint us a target early on.
>>
>>2157664
The Visual KEy way is the utsuge way. Let's not do it.
>>
Did we tell her they called us "gomasuri"? Why would she know that nickname when it sounded like those guys thought of it on the spot?
>>
>>2157743
We told her.
>>
Y'know, if we just made a commitment to Hanazawa and made our relationship, and how it was really getting going before interacting with the research club, public knowledge that would take a lot of heat off our back.

Violence is usually the answer.

We must become the big pig apocalypse, the boar who twists the sky. The bancho of this school who the MC must defeat to gain happiness. But he never will for we know the truth, that his victory would end it all, and when we fight we fight so that others may live.

>>
>>2158112
It only works wonders for shonen MCs.
>>
>>2158112
>>2158120

We just need to get Eiji to believe violence is the answer, then we can set this world on the manly paths it needs to tread.

We can set ourselves up as the rival, the violent friend the MC must match no matter what, beat no matter what, keep from dominating everything else not matter what, then never give him that final fight. We just abstain from the final climax and keep anyone else from settling things and this can be drawn out for a hell of a long time.

>>2156605
Eh, it's not to hard to believe seeing as prior to our arrival, no one had tried to interfere with the balance since they all had an interest in maintaining it.

>>2157638
They've not been aware of it for the most part as it has occured outside of school and in all other cases it has been in her role as class rep she's acted, meaning that we weren't getting special treatment.
>>
>>2158174
Class rep, she's closest to us and the most readily available. She'll also be not-so-secretly happy about Eiji and us fighting over her.

“...[Mobs]?”
Your brother said. He said to you that there are no one else [Awakened] in this universe.

Yet Hanazawa looks at you wide eyed at the mention of the word.
Does this mean--

“Ow!”
“Oi, look where you’re chopping--hey, wait, you’re bleeding! Ken-kun, where’s your first aid kit?!”

Who knew that between you and the girl who can’t cook, you’re the one who was going to cut himself today?

“On top of the refrigerator…”
“Ok, I’ll go grab it, hold that under running water!”

She jogs off towards the fridge. As she does so, you make over your way to Hanazawa, who still looks surprised.

“Hanazawa. Stay over later. We need to talk.”
She nods.

>cont’d
>>
>>2158479
“It’s still bleeding, Ken-kun…”

You are sitting with the class rep on the dining table. She applies pressure to your wound with a gauze. You underestimated just how sharp your dad keeps his knives, and cut your finger open that easily.

“Honestly...as if it weren’t enough that your face is all battered up already. Maybe you’re an airhead after all, Ken-kun?”
“What exactly makes you say that, class rep?”
“Well, Rei-chan always gets scrapes and cuts like this as well.”
“She’s not exactly hounded by the fanclub of another guy’s harem, now is she?”
“Harem’s a big word, Ken-kun...but yeah, you’re right.”

She raises your hand up and inspects the wound. She stares at the cut with a morbid curiosity.

“Hey, Ken-kun. Does it hurt?”

>Nah, this is nothing
>It stings a bit, yeah

“Nah, this is nothing. I’ve had worse wounds.”

She looks up at you, while caressing your hand with her two palms.

“Ken-kun.”
“Yes?”
“When you try to hide your pain like that,” she brings up your hand.

“I hate it.”

She puts the cut index finger in your mouth and starts sucking on it.
“O-Oi, class rep…!”

You try to pull away, but she has a firm grasp on your hand. You feel something roll over the wound. Her tongue.

She lets go of you.
“Cough! Cough!”
And looks at you a bit red.

“What the hell, it’s bitter…”

“...I-It’s blood, what did you expect? And I don’t think you were supposed to lick it. I think you were just supposed to suck off the excess blood.”
“Is that so? Sorry,” she smiles. “It’s my first time.”

Dude why? Hanazawa best girl.

Also, the whole narrative has been twisting our actions to make us fall for her. That is a path we cannot take. Just, don´t. We will get lynched or repeat BAE all over again.
>>
Guys, I have just realized a thing. Narrative has been pushing us, going as far as making our decisions having no repercussion at all. What s its objective?

Why would [Fiction] want to get a girl out of the Harem? Is she the MC an we are supposed to adore her? Or is the story about how we end up falling for her?

She has some kind of [Meta] knowledge since she reacted to the mention of [Mobs] so that adds a few points in my book.
>>
>>2158619
Or maybe because all the other girls are cliches who might get us Erased if we interact with them too much or are reality bending to make themselves look more attractive to us?

Excepting the fighter one. That might be second best.

“Ryou...I know you’re just being friendly and all, but…”
“Do you hate it?”
“It’s not that I don’t. You’re really beautiful, yes, but--”
“I’m beautiful?”
“...Look. The point I’m trying to make is that you shouldn’t be acting this friendly about me. I might misunderstand your intentions.” You lean back on your chair, and mutter. “What would Nakamura-san think…?”

Ryou is surprised at first. But then she bursts into laughter.
“...What’s so funny, class rep?”
“Hahaha! What is that way too serious face, Ken-kun? C’mon, it’s just skinship, skinship!”
“...Skinship?”

“...Er, am I alone in thinking we’re buddies, Ken-kun?”
“Not at all, class rep.”
“Well, it’s just my way of being friendly. I don’t have much friends, aside from the guys at the Research Club, so when I’m around you Ken-kun I... I’m sorry if I’m being too overly familiar.”
“No need to apologize...I just think class rep should consider that I’m a guy.”

“But I do?” she frowns. “Is there some sort of misunderstanding? I thought you and Hanazawa were a thing now. She’s even walking around the kitchen in your shirt…”

“Indeed, there’s a misunderstanding, Ryou. Me and Hanazawa are not a ‘thing’.”
“Oooh, is that so? She doesn’t seem to be against you though...what’s keeping Ken-kun from taking her? She’s cute, right.”
“She is...er, that’s not the point. There’s just a lot of extenuating circumstances recently, so…”
“Ah, if you say so.” Ryou nods.

She leans in and whispers. “Just remember, if ever you need any help, Nee-chan is here to provide assistance, alright? Wasn’t that part of the original thread?”

“Yes, but you need to stop doing things that will cause misunderstandings, class rep. You need to be more careful.”

She leans away and laughs. “Isn’t the whole problem we’re facing because of me asking you to get me together with Eiji?

“The way you talk, it’s as if you think I’ll be Hanazawa’s rival or something.”

You finish making lunch late, the wonderful smell of curry making your hunger worse by the minute.

Your dad still hasn’t come home, probably from some sort of misplaced understanding for your sake.

At last, lunch is served, and the three of you dig in. It’s not as good as your father’s, but knowing that literal blood and sweat were shed in the making of this, it becomes all the more delicious.

Ryou takes this opportunity to return to the earlier conversation.

“You’re entering war, Ken-kun,” Ryou says. “This little lunch we have is already pretty risky as it is. I don’t think they hate you enough yet to start attacking your house, but if anyone saw me, who knows what could’ve happened? Therefore, in the future, I’ll try to come over stealthily.”
“...Why not just suspend it if it’s that risky…?”
“Because I believe that this whole thing shall pass eventually. And the last thing I want after all this has happened is for me not to have improved myself in anyway. I’m sorry for being a bother, Yamada-kun.”

You shake your head. “Not at all. Just be careful.”

“Alright, thanks. Then let’s go to the biggest problem. You.” She leans forward on the table. “The most important thing you need right now is allies.”

“Like Hanazawa, or Nakahara?”
“Fumi? No, I forbid you from teaming up with her.”
“Why? She seems like a competent person in these types of situations.”
“...I don’t know how in the world you could say that about the girl who hit you with a bat, but whatever. You teaming up with Fumi is like solving a rat problem with a nuclear missile. You annihilate everything in the process.
“If you ask for her help, you will follow the path of the delinquent, Ken-kun. You won’t be bullied, yes, but you’ll forever be a pariah. And I…”

She looks at you with sad eyes, before continuing.
“As for Hanazawa-san...no offense to you, but Ken-kun is going to be under a lot of fire in the upcoming days. Maybe even weeks or months. And if they find you’re close to Yamada--”

“If I bow out here now, then I don’t deserve to be Yamada-kun’s friend. I might not be able to protect him, but I will stand by his side always. I know Yamada-kun, and they have no right to bully him for whatever reason.”

You and Ryou look at each other and nod.
You catch the message she’s saying in her eyes.

-Protect her, Ken-

“I won’t be back for another week...I might be able to stabilize our classmates, but that still depends on how bad this whole thing gets.”
“Do you have a suggestion on who to ally with then, Ryou?”

“I do. Kobayashi Mariko.”
“Geh.”
“I know. The girl could be a pompous bitch sometimes, and downright cruel in others, but she’s a good person, Ken-kun. Please consider it.”

You fidget in your seat, and finally sigh.

“I’ll think about it first. For now, why don’t we talk about meeting places?”

>cont’d
>>
>>2158774
Ryou nods. “You’re right. I’m pretty sure they won’t be dumb enough to ambush you in your home base, but this place could soon be a hot zone. We’ll need an alternative.”

Hanazawa raises her hand. “We could use my place.”

“Thanks, Hanazawa-san. My place is also available, if that helps. What do you think, Ken-kun?”

“If both of your places are available, then why not do a rotation system of sorts?”

The two look at each other and nod.
Seeing this, you then put both of your hands on the table and bow.

“Look...to be honest, this was all my fault for not being careful like class rep said I should be. Now, I might even be putting the two of you in danger. Sorry, but I’ll be relying on you from now on.”

Hanazawa pushes her chair away from the table and goes to you, kneeling, trying to push you up.
“Yamada-kun, please raise your head.”
“Hanazawa…”
“We’re not doing this out of some sort of obligation. It’s because we’re friends that it’s alright. You’ll be doing the same if we were in your position, right?”

“...Yeah.” Friends, huh?
You wonder if you had friends in your past life, and what they think about your death.

“That’s right. Thanks Hanazawa, Ryou.”
They nod.

“If you have any other questions, Ken-kun,” Ryou adds. “Now might be the time.”

>>2158921
Tbh, long as we didn't lose Hanazawa or Ryou in the process it's cool with me.
>>
>>2158921
Being a pariah is more than just not being friendly with people. It's actively being on the outs with them, and people both passively and actively trying to make your life worse. It's needless to suffer through it. And Ryou hinted that she wouldn't be able to be seen with you anymore dude her own social standing were you to do that.

That, and it's petty to do.

“Ryou, about the part time job…”
“Oh, right. I already told the chief about you. Just drop by anytime at the family restaurant so he could get a good look at you first.”
“Alright, I’ll keep it in mind.”

“Um,” Hanazawa interjects, “Just an idea, but couldn’t we also hold meets there?”
“Oooh, good catch, Hanazawa-san! It might be a public place, but if both of us are employees, maybe we can get you Hanazawa into the backroom.”

Looks like you have another meeting place to add to the rotation.

-------

You clean up the dishes, asking the girls to rest instead. As you quickly make a stopover at the bathroom, upon exiting you see someone secretly tying their shoes.

“...Ryou?”
She jumps, then turns around grinning like a caught kid.
“Y-Yo! I was actually thinking of going ahead…”

“Without saying goodbye to me or Hanazawa?”
“About that…”

She asks you to come closer.
“Actually, Hanazawa was the one who asked me...seems like you were planning on having a…’talk’...”

She leans away and smirks.
“Know how it is now?”

at this rate I sincerely wonder if she'll just wave the white flag in the Eijibowl. I think it would be good for her to take a step back and realize that sometimes you just gotta know when to fold em.

She deserves a lot more than this rat race.
>>
>>2158956
“Thanks Ryou. I owe you one.”
“Don’t mention it. Use protection, ok?”
“...Class rep…”
“Haha! I’m just kidding.” She slaps your shoulders. “But seriously, you two...you suit each other really well. Nee-chan approves. I wish you two end up together.”
“...Thanks?”
“Ken. If you make her cry, I’ll kill you.”
“Of course. That’s only natural.”
“That’s why be gentle for tonight, okay?”
“...We really are just going to talk, Ryou…”

She laughs. “I know, I know. You think the class rep would leave you two alone if she doesn’t trust both of you?”
You smile. “Thanks for understanding, Ryou. I owe you one again.”
“Don’t worry about this one, this is nothing. Hope your talk ends well.”
“Me too.”

She leaves your house, stopping midway to look back and wave at you. You smile and watch her until she’s out of sight.

You make your way back to the living room, to find Hanazawa sitting there waiting for you.

Her breaths are calm, yet somewhat expectant. She fixes your shirt she has on. Because of Ryou’s teasing earlier, now you find the whole gesture erotic…

“Hanazawa."
"...Yes?"
"Let’s talk upstairs.”

>cont’d
>>
>>2159009
You make your way to your room and let Hanazawa in.

You watch her as she marvels at the room’s design, or lack thereof. The white walls, the standard desk, even the plain sheets, she touches and looks at it all. But despite all that, she seems impressed.

“Sit wherever you like.”
Hanazawa nods and makes her way to the bed, smoothing out the hems of your shirt as you sit down. You grab your chair and sit in front of her. Her breaths are hot, and heavy. They’re waiting. You’re waiting. A game of who will break the silence first.

“...I didn’t know.”
Hanazawa starts.
“I thought I was the only one…"

“But looking at your room, I’m...to be honest, I'm still not sure. So I’ll ask you straight. Please answer me.

“Yamada-kun...are you an otaku too?”

“Ye--I mean, wait, what?”

Hanazawa asks you a weird question. Does being [Awakened] have something to do with being an otaku in the past life?

“I’ve always thought I was the only one, Yamada-kun. I had suspicions you were one before, but when you said [Mob] I knew for sure then.”
“Ah. Thank god. You really are [Awake]...”

But just as you were about to sigh out in relief, you catch Hanazawa’s puzzled look.

“...Awake? But I’ve been awake with you since earlier, Yamada-kun. What do you mean?”

...Eh?

“But just now, you knew about [Mobs]...”
“Of course. They’re the background characters in anime and visual novels, right? Didn’t you make a joke or something earlier, and class rep just didn’t catch it? I recognized the term though.”

Hanazawa thinks your an otaku like her. She’s right, yes, but it seems she’s not aware of this universe’s scheme.

“Hanazawa.” Maybe if you point her attention towards the similarities…

“Have you ever, like looked at Nakamura-san and all the girls around him and thought, isn’t that weird? Like something ripped out of a harem anime?”
“Eh? Not really...isn’t it because Nakamura-san is just a kind person, and that’s why Hikaru-san and Kobayashi-san and the others like him?”

“Yes b-but...I mean the hair! Have you ever noticed anything about class rep’s hair? Like, the color?”
“The color? It’s just normal, isn’t it?”
“No, it’s not! It’s...it’s…”

You slump back into the chair, arms on your knees.

“...It’s no use.”
You thought she was someone like you.
You thought you could wake her up if you tried.
But your brother is right. She can’t be awoken. There’s nothing to wake after all.

“...I’m sorry, Hanazawa. It was all my imagination.”
“...Yamada-kun…”
“Remember the novel I was talking about? I was basing it off of Nakamura-san, and I guess I got reality and fiction mixed up. That’s really all there is to it.”

Silence. Deafening. Heart breaking. Isolated. Alone.

“Yamada-kun.”
“Yes?”

“I like you.”

I swear, the way people react, it's like they want to feel sad and in emotional pain.
>>
>>2159200
You look at her, dumbfounded. She’s red, really red, and laughing.

“Yay, I said it~” She says, while wiping a forming tear.
“Hanazawa…”

“I’ve always thought that I was nobody special. I never even thought of myself as normal. I was average in every way, but I had no special interests.
“I call myself an otaku but...I don’t really have a favorite anime or video game. I like them, and I’m familiar with the really famous ones, but...there really isn’t anything that I loved with a passion.
“Have you ever wondered why my hobby is programming? To be honest, I’m just average at it too. But the reason I picked it up was because the future market is good. They pay good money for programmers. I thought, if I started early, then eventually I’ll get there, and I won’t have to worry anymore about money. I could do whatever I wanted to do. But I have none.

“That is, until you came along, Yamada-kun.”

“I thought, no guy would ever fall for a bland boring girl like me. And yet somehow, even if you’re so close with such a beautiful girl like the class rep, you always apologize to me. You’re so kind, Yamada-kun, and that’s why I like you.
“When you told me you dreamt of me, and said my name in your dreams, at first I was surprised. And yet slowly, more and more, I catch myself looking at your direction. Wondering where you were at lunch time. And sometimes even seeing you in my dreams too.

“Maybe, I’m just a shallow girl after all. Falling for a guy so fast, to the first guy that ever paid attention to her. Maybe this is all a mistake.
“But I like you, Yamada Ken. Despite logic, despite reason, I can’t deny when my heart beat rises when you come close, when my finger runs through your hair, when the smell of your clothes wafts into my senses.”

“That’s why,” she’s no longer hiding it. Tears are streaming from her. “When you looked so down like that...as if you were expecting something from me that I couldn’t provide...as if I was not good enough...I just had to say it. Because that’s the only thing I have right now. My feelings.”

“I know I’m not good enough, Yamada-kun. I’m sorry. But this no good girl loves you. Could you please give her an answer?”

>>2159262
“Hanazawa…”

You leave the chair and sit beside her. Before she could react, you put her into an embrace.

“Y-Yamada-kun…!”
“Don’t say you’re no good. If you say that, then what does that make me?”

Her frame is so small. You could feel the bones poking out on her shoulders. Her hair tickles your cheek as you stroke it with your other hand.

You chuckle. “I...have a lot of secrets, Hanazawa. Maybe some of them, I’ll never be able to tell you. Which is pathetic, as a guy. How can I not share everything to the person I love?”
“...Eh? Yamada...kun…?”
“Ah, that one secret I could share to her though…”

You put her in arms length and stare into her those eyes, the pink and black eyeliner you fell for. She is beautiful.

“I love Hanazawa Mayumi. I’ve never been able to say it ‘til now because I’m no good as well. I even made you feel not good enough, when it is me that is not good enough for you. So please give me a chance to make things right, Hanazawa. I’ll make sure that you’ll become the most special girl in the world.”

She’s shaking. Sobbing. But her smile is the sun. In the two lifetimes you’ve lived, this has been the happiest you've ever been.

You feel two thin arms go around your neck. You feel her pull you in closer. You close her eyes and take her in.

It was a messy kiss. It was wet, and she dragged you too hard unto her, causing you two to topple over.

But her lips are so soft. You could feel her smile on your own. She smells of spring, of sakura blossoms. Of something new and exciting.

Congratulations. You are now Hanzawa Mayumi’s boyfriend.

The problem here is that Universe or no, we're on way too many people's radar right now- like I kept saying, the plan for the next week or so was to ease off and let things settle down for a bit. This just gives a perfect excuse to do so and keep to ourselves while we do a bit more research and prep further.

IF you absolutely must phrase everything in violence, then what I consider this is the equivalent of a boxer rearing back from a counter punch, and using their momentum to strike back himself.

Just need to keep eyes on the prize and keep things calculated.

But even then, we'd just turn the harem anime into a drama harem anime with a twist, either ending with the MC and a few girls left, or the MC dead which then either creates ANOTHER MC to take his place or has the entire universe end because where else can you take the show from there?

Even if we get off of this chess board, we'll just be leaping into another board game to become a piece to. Our cycles of guilt will never end.

Hell, even if this universe does end, what's to stop us from being dropped into another of similar design?

Man, get caught up in life stuff, and now we're dating best girl, and getting a battle plan ready, for, well, teaching Ryou to cook, and befriending Eiji. I wish people weren't so eager to avoid Eiji though. I think if we just go join the soccer team with him we wouldn't get in too much trouble. That said, could certainly take a day or so to gather our wits, maybe try out for that soccer club at the last day they have available, and until then maybe spend some time with Hanazawa. Try and watch some anime together at some point.

Black Company Quest, specifically.
>>

Actually I just really like the idea of our guy who looks like a nobody end up becoming a murder machine, although I should dial it a bit back on the enthusiasm. Also I really don't mind how Black Company Quest is turning out since it's appropriate for all the shit that Prince and the gang go through.

>>2159354
So.
The first sex scene in a VN can occur in two places:
1. In the ending;
2. Right before shit hits the fan and everything goes pear-shaped.

I dare you to guess which one this is.
>>
>>2159501
The school doesn't hate us for getting close to Eiji though, they hate us for trying to get close to the harem. And honestly, fuck the harem, they all such except for based Class Rep.

If we just hang with Eiji by himself, and excuse ourselves whenever the harem shows up, we should be okay. That might not be easy, but we could probably make it work. Openly dating Hanazawa should help dispel the idea that we're interested in the harem too, maybe.

Have we considered getting to Eiji through Tokomichi? We're neighbors, right? Maybe we can use their connection to sidestep the harem a little, play up the "comedy relief best friend duo" angle

Some of my proposition

Lets go make a real novel around Ken (with the subtlety of hitting the whole collective) and the best setting is probably the fantasy one.

Remember Dad advice. We already slashed one (Hanazawa BF) Work some more and we will be unbulliable and leave us alone

Things to do with Hanazawa
Date in cafe (no not on Ryou cafe)
[Handholding]
movie nights ("anime")
beach episodes
make a VN (based from our novel too)
lewd.....lots and lots of lewd but no really pls dont we are still highschool

Anons, if done right the Calendar Method is one of the most effective "natural" (ie. non-barrier) contraceptive methods available. Sure there are a lot of caveats, chief among them is that the female must have a regular cycle, but you're complaining about something that actually works, and actually happens.

...Were last night’s events a dream?

You wake up to that question in mind.

You’re tired, and a bit sore…
Yet fulfilled and refreshed.

You wonder how much of last night is true, but there’s one thing you know for certain.
The image of your very cute girlfriend will forever be ingrained in your mind.

You smile in satisfaction, before scrambling out the bed. You’ve been so exhausted that you didn’t even wake up in time for jogging…

-------

Though the time was a bit later than usual, the walk towards the school remained the same as always. Friends chatting, some students biking up their way to the hill. The usual anime-esque scenery unfolds around you.

Yet the difference in the air is malleable.
You feel the stares on your body, despite catching no one looking. You hear muttering and whispering, not loud enough to hear the contents, but enough to make you aware that they’re talking about you.

As you’re walking, you feel a figure approach you from behind. You try to take a glance.
“Keep staring forward.”

An unfamiliar voice, muffled by what you think is a face mask.

“Walk to the alleyway.”

>Oblige.
>Run away.

Gangland Beatdown. Remember, the entire school is against us, and this includes teachers and faculty.
>>
>>2163194
You walk to the alleyway. You feel the figure behind you follow close behind.

“Deeper in, Ken-kun.”

You sigh in relief, recognizing her usual voice. You walk until you reach a part away from the main walking route, and turn to face her.

“...You do know that you look even more suspicious right now, class rep?”

Ryou stands in front of you, wearing thick shades and a face mask. She pulls out her cap, and out tumbles her expertly hidden lilac hair.

“It doesn’t matter if I look suspicious, just that I don’t get recognized talking with you.”
Indeed, you have to give her props. She looks like a different person underneath all the disguise.

“So why did you call me out this morning, Ryou?”
“About that...first things first. How did things between you and Hanazawa go?”

>Tell her about your relationship
>Keep the relationship a secret from Ryou
>>
>>2163275
>Tell her about your relationship
>>
>>2163275
>Tell her about your relationship
>>
>>2163275

>>
>>2163298

>Tell her, but keep it simple and succinct.

>>2163275
>Tell her about your relationship
>>
>>2163298

>>
>>2163275
“Things went...great.” You scratch the side of your head, a stupid grin forming without you meaning to.

Ryou stares at you, confused. Then,
“...Eh? Eh?! EH?!”

You smile and nod. “Yeah.”
“Congratulations, you two!” She grabs your hand and shakes it fervently. “I told you Nee-chan’s great at matchmaking, right?”
“...You didn’t really do much, Ryou…”
“And who was the one that kept saying you two go well together? So? So?” Her eyes are twinkling. Isn’t there something else we should be talking about? You try to keep it as brief as possible.

“Well...I’m happy to be with her. And I hope she is too.”
“Did you kiss?”
“Class rep…”
“Nee-chan needs to know, Ken-kun!”
“...”

You decide to tease her a bit.
“We’re a bit beyond kissing, now…”
“...EH?!”

She suddenly starts slapping you.
“O-Oi, class rep, stop…!” You say in between laughs.
“L-Lewd! Ken-kun, pervert! Hanazawa-san is a pure girl, you monster!”

You finally get to calm her down. She’s blushing deep red.
“...At least tell me you used protection.”
“Well,er…”
“Beast!”
“W-Wait, Ryou, stop!”

It took another while to placate her.

“Listen, Ken-kun,” she says, after recomposing herself. “It’s great that you are a thing right now, but do you plan on telling anyone else?”
“What do you mean?”
“Though I don’t know the feeling personally, the general consensus seems to be that it’s like a secret that’s bursting from your chest.”
You nod. You understand what the class rep is saying. You just want to brag about your girlfriend to the whole world.

“Well, sorry to keep you hurting for a bit more Ken-kun. Please keep your relationship a secret for now.”

>No problem.
>Why?
>I refuse.
>>
>>2163371
>why
Im more willing to trust dad on this than you ryou, sorry
>>
>>2163371
>>No problem.

>>
>>2163371
>"Yeah, I don't want Hanazawa to be bullied for associating with me."
>>
>>2163371
>No problem.
>Why?
>>
>>2163371

“I don’t see a problem with that, class rep.”
Ryou nods. “In your current state, you getting a girlfriend would do you more harm than good. If they discover that the Gomasuri they’re bullying somehow got someone as cute as Hanazawa, that’s going to breed even more contempt. You’re putting yourself and her in danger.”

“Alright. I have no problem doing anything to protect her.”
“I’m not asking you to keep it a secret forever, Ken-kun, don’t worry. Just until you have a bit more positive light on you. When you get to that point, knowing that you have a girlfriend means someone actually tolerates you, therefore pushing the narrative in your favor better.

“Think of it like a multiplier. If people have a neutral or positive opinion of you, Hanazawa will cement their trust. But if the number is negative, then a multiplier will only make it worse, right?”

“I understand. So what you’re saying is wait it out, right?”
“Exactly.”
“I got it Ryou, leave it to me. Now, about the reason you called me…”

“Ah, that. It’s just me asking for a favor, Ken-kun.”

“Please don’t let Eiji get involved in all this. He'll try to, but please turn him down.”

>Alright.
>Why?
>I need his help, Ryou
>>
>>2163449
>Why?
I'm just curious, I know some guys didn't care but I actually wanted to brefiend Eiji. Him getting involved would definitely make it worse.
>>
>>2163449
>>Alright.
She did say they won't listen. This has probably happened to someone else before.

What if these assholes are the reason our "bro" abandoned his place?
>>
>>2163449
>>Alright.
Wasn't Ryou the reason we interacted with him in the first place?
>>
>>2163449
>Alright.
>Why?
>>
>>2163371
Damn it Ryou know that best waifu is pure. Truly best bro tier
>>
>>2163449
>>Alright.

Being seen with Eiji will make people think we're still trying to get close to the girls or something.
>>
Well I'm happy we could tell class rep about Hanazawa, at least we have one friend.
>>
>>2163449
“Alright.”
“Thanks. And sorry.” Ryou bows her head. “It’s selfish of me to ask, when you got here because of my request.”
“No need to apologize. It’s my misstep that got me to where I am now.”

She smiles, but Ryou keeps her head down. “It’s just that Eiji likes getting into the middle of things...even if it hurts him. It’s what makes him such a great person, but sometimes…”

With the expression on Ryou darkening, you try to raise her spirits by putting a hand on her head.
“I understand. I’ll make sure Nakamura-san doesn’t get involved.”

She nods. The soft silk of her hair glides on your palm as you pat her head.
“Thank you, Ken-kun. And, by the way…”
“Yes?”
“You have a girlfriend now. I can’t ask you to do stuff like this.”
“It’s fine right? Put it another way, since I have a girlfriend now, there’s no need for you to worry about simple stuff like this.”

She giggles before removing your hand from her head.
“...so you haven’t heard of my reputation before.”
“You have a reputation, class rep?”
“Yeah.” She smiles sadly. “I also used to be in your position before, you know. It was Eiji that saved me. But my reputation still stuck. That’s why my fanclub isn’t as big as the others.”

She walks away, waving her hands in farewell.
“Thanks, Ken-kun. Visit the family restaurant if you still want that job.”

“Hey, wait.” You try to stop Ryou before she turns the corner. “Is it alright to ask what your reputation was, class rep?”

She turns around, then smiles kindly.

“It was ‘Man-stealer’.”

Despite waking up late and the chat with Ryou, you still arrive in the classroom early. You were just about to settle down in your seat, when you hear approaching footsteps.

“Yamada-san.”
You turn around to see a familiar face.
“...Nakamura-san. Good morning.”
“Good morning. Could I speak with you for a moment?”

He seems serious.

>Accept. He won’t back down, from the looks of things.
>Reject. Ryou warned you about this.
>>
>>2163546
>Reject. Ryou warned you about this.
Sorry Eiji, poor guy.

>>2163566
This is about what I would say. Don't turn him down flat, but try to wave him off in a way that makes it seem like we'd still want to be friends, but social dynamics prevent it. Which is pretty much the truth.

This was part of the plan, remember.
>>
>>2163546
This >>2163566

Also apologize and say it's fine. Maybe try to ask about something else.
Let's be nice to Eiji too.
>>
>>2163546
“Er, sorry man, I can’t…”
You try to reject him as carefully as you can.

“Huh? Why not?”
“Just...it’s hard to explain. Maybe some other time…”

“No. It has to be now.”
“If it’s about what happened the other day in the clubroom, then don’t worry about it. It was my fault for trying to butt in.”
“...Eh? No, I mean, yes it’s about the other day, but I’d rather we talk about it outside...”

He’s being way too insistent. Ryou already warned you, but even so…

>Relent.
>Stand your ground.
>>
>>2163629
>Relent.
If he’s that serious about it....
>>
>>2163629
Hmmmm. I won't lie that I'm curious. Maybe we can at least hear him put partially. It's a bit of a risk, though...

>Maybe we can find somewhere private to talk, then?
>>
>>2163629
>Relent.
>>
>>2163629
This one >>2163643
>>
>>2163629

>>2163629

>>
>>2163629
This >>2163643
>>
>>2163643
This, since relenting is winning. Us walking ahead to dissuade any rumors we're following Eiji.

Should've probably found out about getting involved in his business, not just him in ours.
>>
>>2163629
Something tells you he’s going to do something drastic if you reject him once more. Not to mention, he seems really insistent on talking with you.

“...Alright, fine. But let’s keep it quick, Nakamura-san.”
He breathes out a sigh of relief. “Thanks, Yamada-san, it won’t be long.”

You head out for a one on one talk with Eiji…
...Or at least, what you thought was a one on one talk.

You arrive at the rooftop to find two other people waiting for you.

“Yamada-senpai! Good morrrrning!”
“Ara, Yamada-kun. I didn’t know you were the type to make women wait.”

Rinko-chan and Kobayashi are standing in the middle of the roof, one waving her hands enthusiastically, one with arms crossed, tapping her feet.

Eiji leaves your side to approach the two girls.

And in a surprising turn of events, give both of them a noogie.

“Senpai, noowowowow!”
“Don’t you dare Eiji--eeeek!”

The scenario ends with Nakamura Eiji standing over the two of them, steam coming out of his nose, while the two girls are on all fours.

“...Sorry for the other day, Yamada-senpai…”
“...Sorry, Yamada-kun. We were out of line…”

>It’s fine.
>Do you realize what situation you put me in?
>I’ll need a better apology than that.
>>
>>2163683
>Do you realize what situation you put me in?

>>
>>2163683
>>It’s fine.
>>
>>2163683
>It’s fine.... Also, Nakamura-san, don’t worry about what happened yesterday. I don’t blame them on their suspicions of me.
>>
>>2163683
>It’s fine.
>You didn't want me around, and I get that. Now more than ever. Just how things are.

Plan. Remember.
>>
>>2163683
>It’s fine.
We should be amicable, class rep said that Kobayashi can be a helpful ally for us.
>>
>>2163683
>It’s fine. I'm sorry for intruding on your club.
>>
>>2163629
>Stand your ground.
Noh means Noh.
>>
>>2163683
“It’s fine, you two. I also have to apologize, it’s also my fault for intruding in your circle. Could we let bygones be bygones?”

“Y-Y-Y-Y-Yamada-sama!” Rinko-chan crawls on the floor, crying, and hugs your feet.
“Thank you for being so gracious, Yamada-sama! Even though Rinko-chan called you an insect and told you to die in a fire, you still forgave me! I shall be forever grateful!”
“...Er, I don’t think you called me an insect the other day, Rinko-chan…?”
“...Ah, crap. I didn’t say those things aloud, huh.”
“What was that?”
“Thank you, Yamada-samaaaaaa…!”

Kobayashi, on the other hand, dusts her knees and stands up once more. She doesn’t say anything else.

“Well,” Nakamura starts. “I’ve talked with the girls, and sure enough, they agreed to let you into the Research Club if you still want to. So, what do you think?”

>No thank you
>Why not, right?
>>
>>2163749

The idea behind the write in was simply to affect a phrasing and tone of voice that made it clear that while we formally accepted the apology, we understood full well that it was given under duress.
>>
>>2163749
With Rinko crushing your ankles and Kobayashi giving you a death stare, do you really have any other answer?

“I-It’s alright now, Nakamura-san, thank you. I was thinking of getting a part time job instead actually…”
“But then, you still won’t have a club, right?” Eiji still looks a bit worried.
“I could check out the soccer club, if that will ease your mind.” Getting into a club will also get rid of a reason for Eiji to bug you.

“...Hm, that actually does, Yamada-san, thanks. I’m sure Ryou will also be happy to hear that.”

He grabs Rinko from your feet, who is still muttering gratitude, and heads out for the door.
“Sorry for taking your time, Yamada-san! Do drop by the Research Club if you still want to hang out!”
“Haha...unlikely…”

Nakamura exits the door with Rinko-chan in tow. Kobayashi follows, but then stops when she’s shoulder to shoulder with you.

“...Have you been in talks with the class rep, Yamada-kun?”

Good response, but we need to act more incredulous. Like we're completely baffled about her line of questioning. Launching an answer like that immediately would be somewhat suspicious I think.

“Talks?”
“It’s just that I’ve been hearing rumors about a certain ‘ass-kisser’ around the school, and knowing the class rep, she would’ve reached out to the poor bastard to help.”

She doesn’t seem to know you’re working for her so far.

“She probably even asked Gomasuri-kun to ask for help from me.”

No point in denying it at this point. You nod.

“That Gomasuri bastard sure is in deep trouble now,” you say.
“Indeed.”
“Then, are you going to ally with him, Kobayashi-san?”

“I’m not as noble as the class rep as to help out every bullied boy in existence. But, having false accusations with my name involved is a problem in itself. I will not be against helping him out, is what I’m trying to say.” You sigh in relief.

“However,”
Kobayashi turns to you, arms crossed. “I won’t be enough.”
“...What do you mean?”
“It’s a bit out of my and the class rep’s hands now. If you want to turn the opinion, you’d need someone better. You need an ace in the hole.”

“If you had that ace right now, then you wouldn’t even be in this position in the first place. You’re hated because they think you’re a commoner who’s trying to climb the ladder.

“Listen. What you need is someone with status. Someone with say. Someone who ranks high in society, someone whose opinion is listened to. And you need that someone to have a good opinion of you.”

“I don’t understand.”
“To put it in simpler terms, you need to find someone who has as much sway as me or the class rep. We’re too involved in this, and that’s why they’ve never listened to us before. But, if you find someone of the same social ranking as us that is not involved in this whole ass kissing debacle, then I think that’ll be enough to change the tide.”

Someone with as much social power as Kobayashi Mariko or Hikaru Ryou?

You return to the classroom just as the bell rings. As you slide open the door, you find Hanazawa who is just arriving as well.
“Mayu--”

You remember the conversation you had earlier with Ryou.
“...Hanazawa-san. Good morning.”

She seems a bit surprised, but she quickly recognized what you’re trying to say.
“Yamada-kun. Good morning.”

You enter the door together. In the brief second your shoulders touched, she grabs your hand and gives it a squeeze.

You apologize to Hanazawa in your head. You promise to make up for this in the future.

Upon arriving to your seat, you notice your notebook on the table. Strange, you haven’t taken any of your stuff out…?

You open it, to find it’s ruined. Your notes are torn apart, the remaining are covered in sketches of buttocks and shit.
One word is also repeated throughout the notebook.

This is bound to happen frequently in the near future... we might have to set up a secret camera to capture these guys in the act. Blackmail them and we’ll have our connections in the collective.
>>
I just can't find myself to be angry at them. I just pity them. If this is what their lives revolve around, I shudder to think what they think will happen once everyone graduates and moves on with their lives. Will all these fans just suddenly lose the desire to live now that their Idols aren't around them most of the day? Will they transfer their Obsession to someone else, since they seem to desperately need someone to revolve their lives around? Whatever the answer is, it doesn't bode well for them in the future. Even faculty is worthy of pity- to be controlled so thoroughly by a young boy and some girls who look pretty and nice, that tells you that their lives have to be rather shoddy and sad in comparison that they would let all of this happen just to keep their object of affection around.

I can't hate them, but I can sure as heck laugh at them and feel sorry for their sad states of existence.

>Hide it.

>>2164071
You’ve decided to hide it from her. The last thing you want to do is worry Hanazawa more and more.

You smile and shake your head. “No, it’s nothing.”

Before she could ask anymore you sit down and hide away the notebook. This is your fight, you shouldn’t involve Hanazawa in all this…

-------

Lunch passes by.
You stay in your seat in fear of your things getting vandalized again.
Murmurs and laughter echo through the room. Most of the conversation seems to be turned on you.

‘What the hell, does he have no friends to eat with?’
‘You’d think an ass-kisser would be able to find company so easily!’
‘Geez, guys, knock it off. He’s just resting from puckering his lips so much! Hahaha!’

You’re just glad Hanazawa ate out with her friends.

-------

Dismissal. You can’t risk Hanazawa getting involved. You wait ‘til she’s gone before you grab your things.

You open your shoe locker to find it filled with rubbish.

“Ah, Ken-kun!” Ryou is outside, sweeping some leaves that fell on the sidewalk. Seeing you arrive, she jogs over, smiling.

“Yo, class rep. Good afternoon.”
Her pace slows upon getting near you. “...Ken-kun? Did something happen?”
You try to laugh it off. “It’s just been a tiring day…”

She seems to understand the meaning behind your words. “So it’s begun, huh...Hanazawa?”
You shake your head, smiling.
“That’s good...girls are fragile when it comes to things like this. It’s time for you to prove your manliness to her.”
“I don’t really care about that. I just want to protect her.”

She smiles, and in a reversal of roles, she reaches out and pats you in the head.

“You’ve been brave.”

>girls are fragile when it comes to things like this

That’s right...you remember the class rep has been through something like this before. You wonder if that’s why she’s so nice and comforting to you right now.

You also wish that there was someone at that time, to comfort her and call her ‘brave’ as well.

“Fully charged? Let’s meet the chief.”

You enter through the employee’s entrance at the back of the restaurant.
“We don’t have anyone from school working here, so feel free to relax.”
“Why is that?”
“Well…”

Just as you were chatting, a small man wearing a really tall chef’s hat approaches you.
“...And what is this thing you have here, Hikaru?”
“Ah, chief!” He approaches the guy, whose head is just barely over the class rep’s waist level. “He’s the guy who I was talking about, the one looking for a part time job.”

“I was under the assumption it was a girl.” He says, glaring at you.
“Geez, chief, what made you think that? Hahaha!”
“Maybe since you avoided any sort of male pronouns when describing him?”
“...Sorry, chief.”
“Need I remind you that every ‘trustworthy guy’ you’ve brought to this place has turned out to just try and flirt with you?”
“But Ken-kun has a girlfriend!”
“That didn’t stop three or four of them, now, did they?”
“Geez, chief!” He goes behind him and starts pushing him toward you.

“Oi, Hikaru, let me go--!”
“Once you interview Ken-kun you’ll see that he’s a good guy, I promise!”

Ryou lets go of the head chef smiling, while the chief is growling like a rabid dog.

“Er, nice to meet you, I’m Yamada Ken…”
“Cut the crap, boy. What are you here for?”

“...I’m short on cash. Anything’ll do, really.”

Even the class rep is surprised by your brutally honest answer.

“Oho, this is new…” He looks up at you, grinning. “You aren’t like those push overs this Hikaru always brings in.”
“I don’t bring pushovers...they’re just shy guys, chief, geez…”

He ignores her and try to size you up.
“Alright, kid, where do you wanna work in this family restaurant?”

“I think that the waiting staff of your restaurant is excellent already, and I’m not as brash as to think that I could just come in and become a cook. However, I think I have enough experience cooking that only being a dishwasher would be a disservice to my abilities. Please let me be a kitchen hand, chief. Let me show you what I can do.”

Ryou is a bit stunned, but then she claps her hands, impressed with your professional answer.

“Alright then.” The chief smirks. “Show me. Work your way up from food prep and cleaning, and maybe I’ll even let you turn on the stove once.” He laughs, before hobbling away back to his office.

Looks like you have a part time job.

>cont’d
>>
>>2164427
Your job so far is preparing the ingredients for the salad, peeling potatoes for the curry, cleaning up spills in the kitchen, even washing the dishes.

“Newbie, over here!”
“Newbie, could you help?”

Despite being just hired, the other staff of the family restaurant, all college aged and older, have come to rely on you already.

“I’m on my way!”

Cleaning, organizing, even grabbing order sheets, you seem to be doing everything behind the counter. You didn’t even get to see the class rep in the middle of all this.

Soon, dinner rush slows down, and the orders of your superiors start to slow down as well. You were storing crates inside of the freezer when you feel a tap on your shoulder.

“Ryou.”
“Good job today. My shifts over, wanna walk home together?”

You smile, and bow apologetically. “Chief asked me to clean up, so I might not be off ‘til later. Go on ahead.”
“Alright. See you.”

It took another hour before the Chief finally found your work satisfactory. You head out the back, even more exhausted than you were earlier. But, you find getting your body moving has gotten your mind off of the events of today.

“...C-Cold!”
You yelp as a cold can is placed against your forehead.
“Tehe~” Ryou, who you didn’t even notice was standing there, reaches to you a can of coffee.

“It’s been an hour, Ryou...sorry for making you wait.”
“No need to apologize, I told you I was going ahead too.”

You open the can of coffee, and Ryou smiles.

“I was just lonely, so I waited for you,” she says.

>>2164506
I hope no one knows we're there, we could perhaps disguise ourselves or have Ryou disguise herself if we decide to walk her home.
>>
>>2164458
“You’re lonely?”
“Well, only sometimes. It depends on the day. The suspension doesn’t really help too, so recently I’ve been feeling a bit lonely.”

You walk, and Ryou follows you. She’s looking on the ground while gripping the handles of her bag.
“You saw the other guys, right? They were much older than us. Those our age are from St. Agace. It’s a bit hard to socialize with them.”
“Why aren’t other people from school apply there, then?”
“Well, you already heard what the boys do when they apply here, so chief is especially brutal on them...as for the girls…”

She smiles, though under the streetlights, you could see a tinge of sadness on them.
“There’s no way Kobayashi or Rei-chan or Rinko-chan could handle this kind of work...and other girls...they don’t like me much.”

MAN-STEALER MAN-STEALER MAN-STEALER MAN-STEALER

You could somewhat guess why.

“That’s why thanks Ken-kun.” She beams, much happier. “Walking home like this...I guess it really is nice, huh?”

You nod. “This is nothing. That’s what friends are for.”

“Really?”

Actually, should we just ask what the hell is going on right now? Because that kinda shit running through your head 24/7 doesn't sound healthy for a friendly relationship, if you're constantly freaking out about some aspect of them in your head.

No, seriously, we need to nip this shit in the bud. She mentioned it and now it's starting to color all of our interactions with her. Let's just clear the air ASAP before this actually retarded shit festers.

>MAN-STEALER
GUYS IT'S NOT JUST A REMINDER THAT SHE WAS BULLIED OR AN ECHO OF HER TORMETORS

“Actually, no...In fact, I’m new to the whole dating thing. I don’t even know where to start.”

Is the fucking universe actively rewriting her brain to activate man stealer mode whether she wants to or not?

Either way, I REALLY hope we have the opportunity for Yamada to say no. We'll practice having a girlfriend with our actual girlfriend, I mean, we may or may not have already done some pretty intimate stuff, so I think we'll be able to manage without messing up too horribly.

I mean all that said, I'm thinking of how to approach this from a different angle, and I wonder if it'll work or not, but I'm not going to say anything until the opportunity strikes since, frankly, I don't trust BSG to not try and counteract it early.
>>
>>2164575
I've been meaning to ask this for a while now, but you said this quest is based off of something your wrote? When this whole thing is over I'd love to read it. This story is flipping amazing.
>>
Really, though, what it comes down to is that BSG- and this quest by extension- isn't a typical modern 'Telling a story with the players' quest. He's an old-school 'Players vs. Quest Master' QM. He's not trying to tell a story with us, he just wants to outmatch us. This is an adversarial quest, not a collaborative one.
>>
>>2164575
Wait... didn't >>2164531 win?

I'm confused, >Lets do this from time to time, i don't think ever surpassed it?

Is this some Meta-fuckery i'm not getting?
>>
>>2164621
Sounds like We got to stay on our toes then.

>>2164634
YUP, We're getting ultra meta fuckery in new and wondrous ways, like finding out that the Man-Stealer is reactivated in the presence of a male getting laid and in a relationship.
Which means we gotta figure out what the others are known as amongst the fans to use to out advantage.
>>
>>2164634
I can only presume BSG didn't like it, so he decided not to use it. I'm not trying to be mean or bitchy when I say the things I do, it's just what I've come to presume about the situation.
>>
>>2164634
>Is this some Meta-fuckery i'm not getting?
Yes.
The man-stealer comments aren't in Ken's head.
>>
>>2164634
Basically, if a write-in is too 'sane' or will otherwise ruin a typical VN-style drama point, he'll dismiss or downplay the write-in's intention.
>>
Which is why I no longer feel like it's safe to state my intentions out loud, as he'll likely mentally prepare himself to try and plot out a route to counteract them.

So all I can ask, for now, is for you guys to have faith in me on a few of these write-ins that I've got something in mind down the line.
>>
>>2164637
It's less a matter of staying on our toes- think of it more like a chess match. You have to think several steps ahead, because if you make a reckless move, the opponent has all the time in the world to figure out how to counteract it. Hence, again, calling out what our plans are will prove...inadvisable.

Unless, as the viewers, the voices in her head are what we think of her, and our opinions are warping her original personality and steering her decisions in that direction.

After all, it's not like she help herself.

She's not [Awake].

>>2164649
Well either way it looks like dumpsterfire is on the horizon. And I feel fine oddly enough.

>>2164652
>>2164661
And then it turns out that the Awakening is more of a entity than a effect and we end up playing as Ryou for the next five threads.
>>
>>2164661
That doesn't makes sense, though- we were all 'Ryou is a cool girl'.
>>
Nah but on a more serious note, this is the most paranoid and by extension most invested I've been in a quest since the /tg/ exodus. It's nothing compared to the Shadow Quest snowstorm surrounding the aged up daughteru-waifu. It pales in comparison to the betrayal of the waifu cheating on the protagonist in Psion Quest. Still, it feels good to actually care about the outcome.

Christmas party tonight, so there might be no run tomorrow (or even the day after tomorrow for that matter)

I don't like pulling back the veil much, so hover at spoilers at your own risk.

>>2164614
The 'original' mob quest was a 11k word draft (i think i stated it was 16k before, but i just checked rn). Half of it is unreadable because it's not in English (English is my second language), there are no names since if you've ever wondered why there are so many similar names (rinko/mariko, nakahara/nakamura) it's because I use a random name generator. im terrible with names., and it basically ends at Ryou's official meeting. If there's interest, I might post it on a pastebin or smth.

>>2164634
Full transparency, I messed up this one again. I even flubbed it the same exact way I did the last time. Basically, I grouped in the write in to the choice "time to time" thinking it was the same thing at first glance.

im really sorry about that. if you think i ignore write-ins because i dislike them, believe me, i dont do it in purpose.


i, however, am guilty of spinning badly worded write ins :)

>>2164953
Ah dang, I was really hoping you had the whole story written out. Still, this could make an amazing book once it's all finished.

Honestly the main question in my mind is "Does Ryou have control of herself? Because it feels an awful lot like near the end of that last post something got switched and she went from trying to ignore the yellow text and be Yamada's friend, to clearly trying to do something underhanded while the yellow text switched from a rude, accusing tone to begging her to stop.

I feel like that, and any other questions I have, are all major spoiler territory though. I'm just starting to get freaked out cuz thus far, with Hanazawa mistaking [mob] as otaku talk, and the collective just being jealous classmates, for a while it's been like a bunch of curveballs where we think some natural force of the world is pulling the strings only for it to turn out everything is still normal and people are just people, but then something like this happens where it's like Ryou is being forced to fill out a character role and there IS some natural force in this world keeping things a certain way.

For a while I figured a lot of things were caused by Eiji's subconscious, like a subconscious defense keeping the harem members from wanting or being able to form connections with other guys that could lead to anything romantic, but Eiji seems like a cool guy with a silly wish of having an anime harem, and subconsciously forcing Ryou to try and steal any man dating someone else doesn't fit him at all, which implies there's an even greater force at work and even Eiji isn't fully in control, consciously OR subconsciously.

Maybe Eiji caused the creation of this world, but whatever actually created it and enforces it isn't under his control? Maybe Eiji being satisfied with his life and obtaining [Happiness] will cause the wish that gives this other being its power to stop working, thus ending the world? Maybe our brother is this entity, trying its best to misdirect us, or maybe he's simply some other part of Eiji's mind trying to help us out as directly as he can without drawing the thing's attention?

All my guesses feel like shots in the dark. I have no idea what's going on but I'm loving every twist and turn in this story.

Just please tell me we don't accept Ryou's offer. I don't want to break Hanazawa's heart. And please tell me we didn't sleep with her already, that just feels waaay too sudden even if we're secretly 30-something years old.

>>2165090
I think it would go like this
>Hahahaha Ken that was a joke
>But im really open if you are willing though

something like that
>>
>>2165029
This caused me to think about something, why are we here? Is this really just an abstract sort of personal hell the anime devil concocted for us, or are we a variable thrown in to change the world?
we should've at least waited for the third date

Also, I think it's appropriate to slap Ryou in the face and ask her what the hell she was thinking.

And we still need to pick up those padlocks.
>>
>>2165255
Hell for all I know slapping her in the face could be useful in getting her to regain control of herself. I really don't know if the Ryou asking if we'd like to practice with her is actually the Ryou we befriended.
>>
>>2164575
Even if it's to be conted

>I could but I won't. I have too much respect for you and won't risk you getting you involved. Any tips however would be nice

Is it bad that after all this I still wanna find a way to make a threesome playout?
Can't steal a man if both women are with him.


In all seriousness though we gotta pull the breaks on Ryou ASAP cause we start doing stuff with her NOW before we even grow our relationship with Hanazawa properly we're headed for a School Days ending with no breaks.
>>
I was thinking that we needed to bro fist Ryou just as that shit came up.

I say we act confused and pretend we didn't hear her the first time. Giv her a chance to backtrack and say something else. If she continues with it... well...

This

>>2166315
This reminds me of an old /tg/ screencap. I won't be able to find it now though.
In brief, it told about a Dark Heresy game where one of the PCs was courting an NPC, and it all had all the bearings of a comfy romance... And after the PC confessed and the NPC said she likes him back, the NPC adds that she wants to include in the relationship another guy she also likes. The player was hurt and appaled, and the general consesus of the anons was that the GM was a cunt for doing this.

What I'm saying is being on the other end of a harem ending is unlikely to feel nice.
>>
>>2167046
We shall carry the holy waifu through these dark times. Not only will this not be the last time we are approached by the breeder of deceit and mother of prostitutes that is Ryou, but surely others who hold interest in the MC will come upon us.

Think about this potential outcome: through our continued interactions with Nakamura, we in turn interact with the other females. We hold his same qualities but lack his naivety and idiotic demeanor, and can offer them what he cannot: attention and the potential to love and be loved. Even if we were to succeed in denying his route to a harem ending, what is to stop the others from turning their attention to Ken? Desperation will take hold. We must not give in and stay true to our one and only waifu.
>>
>>2167418
Then perhaps a discussion about it with all parties involved or wishing to be is in order.
In any case, I think we can all agree it's much to early to be diving into a 3-way relationship, correct?
