Chapter 1

"That'll be 130 yen." A young man said. "A 130 yen?! It was only 100 yen last week! Are you trying to scam me?!" The young man continued to smile calmly. "That item has been very popular lately, so the manager increased the price." Suddenly the customer grabbed the young man by his collar. "It. Is. Only. 100. Yen." The customer growled. "..." The young man went silent but the smile on his face remained. "Please pay the current price if you wish to purchase this item." SLAP!  "Screw this! I'm going to another store!" The customer exited the store. The young man sighed. "Well, that hurt." 

"You're fired." The young man turned to the source of the voice, eyes wide. "Huh?" It was none other than the manager of the store. The manager glared at him. "We lost a regular customer because of you. You're fired." "Huh- But-" 'You were the one who changed the price.' He thought to himself but didn't say anything. "Leave." 

...

...

...

"Sigh... I can't believe I got fired..." he shook his head. "no, let's stay positive! there's other work opportunities! It'll be fine—" BEEEEEEP...! "?!" A truck drove rapidly, unable to stop. BEEEEEEP...! 

...

...

The sound of chatter and sirens. "Hey! Hang in there, dude!" "Someone call the hospital!" "The poor young boy!" "Waaaahh!" "Get help...!" 

'Ah... It hurts...' He laid on the ground, a pool of blood forming rapidly underneath him. 'What did I do... to deserve this...?"

...

He closed his eyes.

...

...

Kiritani Sora, at the age of 18, passed away due to an unfortunate accident. 

On the day he was born his parents had sent him to the orphanage. He would always help out in the orphanage. Even though he wasn't biologically related to anyone there, he though of everyone in the orphanage as his family. So despite being abandoned he had a happy childhood. 

But one day, he was late to arrive back to the orphanage after his classes ended because he was saving a cat from a tree. And when he arrived the orphanage had burned into ashes. 

He didn't have that much money so he dropped out of school to focus on working. Whenever he had extra money to spare he would buy cat food to feed stray cats. He would volunteer in things and help his neighbors with whatever they needed. He was a kind young man. But fate was a cruel thing and his life had ended.

Chapter 2

The wind breeze brushed against Sora's face. He slowly opened his eyes. "?!" He sat up. "What the—" He looked at his hands. "I'm... alive...?" He looked at the scenery in front of him. It made his eyes widen even more. It was different. How could Tokyo change in a day? He stood up. "What...? Where am I...?"

...

...

The sound of people laughing and chatting happily, and the scent of all different types of food stalls. There were no large buildings anywhere, the country looked straight out of a fantasy movie. Everyone spoke in a language he couldn't understand. What in the world was going on?

He bumped into someone making their bag of groceries fall. "Sorry! I didn't see you there!" He quickly apologized and knelt down to pick up the fallen fruits. The person he bumped into knelt down in front of him and began to pick up the fruits as well. Sora looked at the person wearing a hood. His eyes widened. "Don't worry, it's alright."  Her voice was soft and gentle, it sounded like music to his ears. She was beautiful, with her pale skin, big round eyes, and that smile. But that wasn't what shocked him. What shocked him is how he instantly recognized her.

He used to work at a shop that sold video games, and he studied all about different types of games in order to better assist his customers. And this girl was... A character from a video game...?

Chapter 3

"My First Love", A dating sim game about a girl who gets transported to a fantasy world and has to save that world from the demon king and his army. But during the process of mastering her magic powers she gets together with one of the "love targets". Her name was Nishimura Chiharu. The girl right in front of Sora.

"I haven't heard anyone who speaks my foreign tongue for a long time." Chiharu smiled. "What's your name? I'm Nishimura Chiharu." "Kiritani... Sora..." He said slowly, still in shock. "That's a beautiful name. How long have you been in this village?" They both stood up. "Just now, actually." He rubbed the back of his neck with a smile. "Does that mean?! You teleported to this world from Japan just like me?!" She held his hands, but Sora didn't mind. "I guess so. I wonder what I should do now?" "How about you come with me to the castle? I'll figure out how to get you back home, don't worry!" Chiharu said determinedly.

And so, they both arrived at the castle. "Welcome back, Chiharu. Did you have fun?" "HEY! WELCOME HOME, CHIHARU! LET'S PLAY THIS NEW GAME I BOUGHT!" "W-Welcome home, Chiharu..."

"You're late, idiot."

Sora and Chiharu were surrounded by handsome men, none other than the love targets. "Hm?" They all said as they glanced at Sora.

"My, my, Chiharu. Is that a new friend of yours."

"HEY! WHO IS THAT GUY?!"

"W-Who is he?!"

"Tell me who he is right now!"

All the men were looking at Sora menacingly. Even though the tallest one was smiling he still had a menacing aura. Sora sweated nervously. "Um, I'm..."

The heroine hugged Sora's arm. "This is my new female friend! Sorana!" Chiharu said with a big smile. "Female? But that's clearly a—" The loud one said but Chiharu interrupted and with a pout said, "Don't be mean! Sorana is a girl!" Every one of the love targets gasped. They were lovestruck by Chiharu's pout.

"It's nice to meet you, Sorana. Please, make yourself at home."

"NICE TO MEET YOU, SORANA!"

"I-it's nice to meet you, Sorana..."

"Hey."

The menacing aura vanished in an instant. 'Wow, the power of a heroine.' Sora thought.

Chiharu whispered to him. "They're a bit overprotective, so you'll have to pretend you're a girl until we figure out how to get you back to Japan. I'm trying to figure out how to get back as well." 'A bit overprotective?' Sora thought. 'Hm?' Sora noticed a figure upstairs looking at them. It was a young female. She looked furious.

And she was none other than the villainess of the game who would keep on harassing Chiharu until eventually getting killed in the story for her actions. Aika Ayumi.

Chapter 4

'It's the villainess! Oh?' Ayumi walked down the staircase her arms crossed under her chest. "You're late." She glared at Chiharu. Sora looked at Chiharu to see that her face had gone pale. "S-sorry! I..." "I bumped into her." Sora said, blocking Chiharu from view. "Since when did I give you the permission to speak to me?" Ayumi's gaze of fury was now set on Sora. "Well, actually, I'm not from this world, so this world's social hierarchy dosen't involve me." Sora said casually. He wasn't trying to argue with her. He was just stating a fact.

But that made Ayumi even more furious. She stepped closer to Sora. And once she was right in front of him, she grabbed his chin and brought it close to her face. The look in her eyes was menacing. "What did you say?" Sora was about to repeat what he just said when he noticed something. He cupped her cheek and brushed his thumb against it. "?!" "How dare you lay a hand on my—" "Got it!" "What?" Sora knelt down and placed an ant on the floor. He looked up at her with a smile. "There was an ant."

"..." Ayumi went silent for a few moments. "Hm?" Sora's smile was still bright. Suddenly the tallest love target spoke, "Ayumi." "!" Ayumi turned to face the tallest one, the fury on her face completely vanished replaced with an excited smile. "Yes, dearest?" 'Oh, that's right. Ayumi is his fiance.' The tallest one continued, "You and Sorana will be sharing the same dorm." "Huh?!" Ayumi looked disgusted. "What?" Sora looked surprised. They looked at each other. Ayumi's glare returned. She took a deep breath and turned back to face the tallest target and said, "Why you aren't going to let your fiance share the same dorm with a guy, are you, dearest?"

"Sorana is girl." The tallest one said with a bright smile. "What?" Ayumi looked at Sora with a questioning look and Sora turned his face away awkwardly. "As Sorana is Chiharu's friend I'd liked her to be close by for Chiharu." Ayumi tensed. The glare on her face intensified more than before. She muttered but Sora managed to hear her, "It's always her, it's always about her." Then Ayumi looked at the tallest target and said with a forced smile, "But aren't there other places for her to stay?" The tallest target replied, "You're the only dorm who doesn't have a roommate." Ayumi clicked her tongue. She stared back at Sora with absolute hatred. What would become of these two?

Chapter 5

After Ayumi reluctantly showed Sora around the school as her fiance told her to, they arrived at the female dorms of the academy. "Get in." Ayumi commanded. They both headed inside.

The inside of the dorm was simple. One bed on each side, two desks, and two closets. On the left side was the door for the bathroom. "Your bed's on the right." "Oh, okay." Sora sat down. Ayumi stared at him. "Hm?" Sora smiled. "You're stupid." "Huh?" Ayumi sighed and ran a hand through her hair before sitting down at her desk and crossing her legs. "Come here." Sora walked over to her. "Yes?" "Kneel." Sora kneeled. "Uh, sure?"

"I don't care if you're from another world, if you refuse to obey me, and if you treat me as if you're on the same level as me, I'll make you regret it." Ayumi looked at him, her voice filled with absolute hatred for Sora. "..." Sora was unfazed. He was bigger than her so looking at her was like looking at an angry cat who thinks they're the boss. "But I want to be friends with you." Sora said. "Huh?" She looked at him in disgust. "Why in the world will I be friends with someone like you?"

Sora had a plan. To become the villainess' friend and prevent her from harassing Chiharu and getting killed in the story. Her actions towards Chiharu weren't nice, but Sora still didn't want her to die. But how was he going to make her his friend? "!" Then an idea came to mind. "You love your fiance, don't you?" "Without a doubt." Ayumi said immediately. "Then I'll help you and your fiance get together. In exchange, let's be friends." Ayumi paused. She thought for a few moments. "Acquaintances." "Alright." Sora smiled. Then he offered his hand to him. "let's be acquaintances." Ayumi scowled and didn't touch his hand. "I'm not touching you." "Okay." Sora grinned happily. "You're really weird."

A few days later...

"Get me coffee!" "Carry my bag!" "Find this book for me in the school's library!" A few days had passed since Sora had transported to this dating sim. And for the past few days, Ayumi had been bossing him around as if he was her slave. "I finally found the book you wanted!" Sora said. Ayumi didn't thank him. "Give it to me." Sora handed the book. "I don't want you here while I'm reading. Get out."

Sora walked around the school's garden all alone. Chiharu and the love targets were at a vacation house. And no one wanted to be his friend because he was acquaintances with the villainess. Sora sighed. "So tired..." He sat down at a nearby bench and fell asleep. And while he was asleep the clouds formed in the sky and, PSSSHHHH! It rained heavily. But Sora, after studying without sleeping for the past few days so he could catch up in his academics, was so tired that he didn't wake up.

Chapter 6

"Hey, wake up." Sora slowly woke up from someone kicking him with their shoe. He looked at the figure. It was Ayumi. "Ayu... mi...?" "Since when did I say you could call me by my first name?" She glared. Sora sat up. "Wasn't I outside?" He looked around. He was back in his dorm. "Did you bring me here?" "Ew, I rather not touch someone like you." "Then who-" Then as Sora's sleepiness faded away he noticed Ayumi's shoes. "What happened to your shoes?" Ayumi's eyes widened before she looked at him pissed. "I said I didn't touch you. Don't make me repeat myself. Anyways," "Don't worry I'll clean them." Sora smiled. "..."

"Why are you like this?" "Hm?" Sora tilted his head. Ayumi walked closer to him and leaned close. "If you're sick then act like it." "Sick? I feel fine though." "Do you think I'm an idiot?" She tapped her forehead against his. "You're forehead's hot." She pulled back and flicked his forehead with her fingers.

"From now on when I sleep you sleep. No more doing anything. Is that clear?" "Okay." Sora said with a smile. "Sorry for worryi-" "When you lie you smile with your eyes closed." Sora's eyes widened. "I really feel-" "You're doing it again." Sora paused. Ayumi ran her hand through her hair and sighed. Then she grabbed his face and brought it close to hers. "Stop lying to me. Do you think the people who care about you would rather you suffer quietly instead of telling the truth? If you want to say something then say it. If you want to get mad and yell then do it. Don't overwork yourself. In the end, you'll lose your mind and would no longer be the same. And the people you care about will get hurt."

"So if they're going to get hurt anyways don't let it happen because they lost you. Hiding the truth won't be something you can do for a lifetime. All the things you've hidden will eventually be known. Now tell me the truth. How do you feel?" Sora looked into Ayumi's eyes. He felt like he couldn't defy her. "I..."

".... Don't want you to leave."
