My portable gaming girlfriend

Now that we have decided to attack at the same time... no, to test, we must formulate a strategy. Taking advantage of the break between classes the next day, I came to the rooftop to discuss countermeasures with Shen Qing again.

The targets of the test were three people, Lin Liyu, Yang Jiahui, and Bai Qingyue.

Since this game does not use "options" but "favorability" to determine the direction of the plot, the degree of freedom of the game is extremely strong. In the limited time, you can interact with female characters as much as possible to increase your favorability.

The biggest advantage of this free mechanism is that we can not attack one by one, but three people at the same time, saving a lot of time.

In reality, I would probably be hacked to death by one of the targets, but in this game it's fine.

However, Shen Qing's proposal is obviously not limited to this -

"Listen, I didn't sleep last night, and I thought of a good way."

"There is no need to sleep in the game."

"Shut up, did you mention the book of favorability before? Only you can see this thing?"

"Strictly speaking, Feifei and I are alone with one ghost."

"That's not the point, the point is that we can use the book of favorability."

Use the book of favorability? What Shen Qing said here confuses me a lot. Is there any other use for that thing besides helping me in the strategy?

"I knew someone with trisomy 21 like you couldn't think of it—let me explain it!"

"I consider myself to be above average in intelligence..."

However, Shen Qing didn't pay attention to my weak excuse...

"Listen well, one of the easiest ways to judge an awakened AI is to judge whether the AI ​​has other 'reincarnation' memories."

For the sake of convenience, we habitually refer to other archived events as other 'reincarnations'.

"But we've discussed this a long time ago, right? In fact, judging memory is very difficult, and we can't ask the AI ​​directly if you remember something..."

"Well, that was the previous conclusion, since I know you can see the favorability, I have a new idea..."

"You mean...judging by looking at the changes in favorability in the book of favorability?"

"Oh? You're not a complete idiot, are you?"

Shen Qing stared at me as if looking at something novel, damn it, do you just underestimate me like this!

"But isn't the favorability in the book of favorability related to the frequency of contact?"

"So I specifically confirmed that it is not only related to the frequency of contact, but also related to the memory and emotion of the AI ​​itself-for example, Sakura is the AI ​​in this game, and she fell in love with you after you defeated Sakura. Then because of her memory, her favorability for you will still be higher than the initial state, right?"

"Oh, I see."

Using Sakura as an example makes it much clearer...

"So, what you have to do is try to impress the AI ​​as much as possible, and then read the file again to see if the favorability has decreased."

"In the final analysis, we still need to attack."

"Because most players have the most contact with the three heroines, your main target is set on the three heroines."

It's just that the strategy is not much different from "The Story of Falling Cherry", and it shouldn't be a big problem for me with Shen Qing's help. As long as Shen Qing really helps me and Sakura doesn't mess with me...

"—By the way, the guide also said that the second week's Sunday is the ending moment, and the person with the highest sympathy with you will be killed. But I don't think you need to play until the ending moment."

No matter how you hear this, it sounds like a flag...

"The Rainy Night Killer did it, right?"

And now the beautiful girl games are so curious? In order to pass the level, the player has to fight against the perverted killer?

"You know Rainy Night Killer?"

Shen Qing seemed a little surprised.

"I saw it in the newspaper when I was waiting in the swimming pool last time. At that time, I wanted to remind you and Sakura to be safe, but I forgot..."

After all, I can't remember anything under the impact of the 20-meter slide...

However, whether it is news or urban legend, if such information contrary to the daily plot appears, it will definitely foreshadow some event.

"Tsk. The target of the Rainy Night Killer must be the woman who has the highest affection for you, and it can't be me. Your virtual girlfriend needs to pay more attention."

Obviously I said that I cared about her, but what happened to that 'tsk'.

"Is this also one of the purposes of the game's book of favorability? At least you know who to protect."

"Well, it's like a hint. If you make good use of this hint, the strategy will go smoothly."

"Although I said that, my only experience in playing love games is "The Story of Falling Cherry Blossoms"..."

"You idiot, do you really think that I will let you explore on your own? My time is also very precious, and I don't have time to waste here—so I, a hardcore GALGAME player, will personally guide you, and you are responsible for being obedient."

The guy in front of him didn't know what he was confused about, and he looked arrogant. I really don't know what the real students would look like if they knew that she claimed to be a GALGAME hardcore player...

"Tsk."

"You must be dismissive because you think I'm boasting?"

"Where, not at all."

"You must be thinking, 'This guy has such a low ranking in the game, what right does he have to boast about being an old player?', right? Hehe... just this time I will show you my plot prediction ability."

"...What the hell are you talking about?"

Then, Shen Qing spoke on her own——

"...First of all, you must be gentle and considerate when dealing with girls in love games. It is not considered success until they open their hearts to you. According to my observation, Lin Liyu never talked about what happened in these years, and combined with her subtle expressions Something dark must have happened, perhaps abused or not."

"Yang Jiahui seems to be very difficult to communicate with, but as a high school student, she does not hesitate to be late every day and has to work in the bakery, which is enough to show that her family situation is not very good, and her parents have no time or do not want to take care of her. Generally, such a role in love games In fact, they are rebellious on the surface and gentle on the inside—especially like children or small animals.”

"As for Bai Qingyue, a girl who is very enthusiastic about you from the very beginning is very easy to push down. Pay attention to pushing down rather than attacking. Because such a person has probably suffered some kind of emotional injury and is very distrustful of men. In her eyes Maybe you just look like her ex."

"As for a mature sister like Han Yaqian - a little virgin like you is a very interesting plaything to tease in her eyes, and she will be very happy to see your innocent reaction."

"..."

"How, did the 18-year-old virgin find this?"

After listening to her words, I admit that I lost. These days, I don't remember anything except the names of the heroines...

If this guy Shen Qing were Lily, he would definitely be a very scary person.

"Is this what you have observed in the past few days?"

"Of course there are reasons for investigating the strategy. But I didn't read the spoilers about the characters - anyway, the characters in this game are similar, and you can know the origin just by looking at them. Besides, I don't want this game to change even if it's a mission. Boring, you must know that interest is also one of the reasons why I came to this organization.”

Is this the dignity that Shen Qing insists on as a player——Shen Qing who said such words is inexplicably handsome.

I seem to have a new understanding of Shen Qing. Although her usual attitude is always very arrogant, she is unexpectedly serious about the task (except for forgetting to tell me Feifei's identity).

At the beginning, I was worried that she would not want to join this task, and would be passive and wait to see my jokes. Now it seems that her attitude may be more serious than mine.

"—Although I feel that finishing with you has been delayed, and the level of fun has also been reduced a lot."

really! Whether it's the waning moon on the Internet or Shen Qing in real life, this guy's personality is really bad!

"Sorry for the delay, but I have one more thing to ask."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

She probably just showed her abilities just now, so her attitude today is extraordinarily kind.

"You said you played a lot of GALGAME, right? Then you play the game as the 'male protagonist'?"

"yes."

Shen Qing said it as a matter of course.

"So—may I ask what you should do if you encounter an H plot?"

Then, I saw Shen Qing's face slowly changing from expressionless to angry...

"...Why did I tell you this kind of question! You pervert!"

I really shouldn't have asked this kind of question, she was kicked away so hard, it's still my stomach! it hurts!

It has been decided to use the exclusion method, and we set the first character to be excluded as Bai Qingyue. There is no other reason, but Shen Qing thinks her strategy should be the simplest.

It's Wednesday of the second week.

"Senior sister, can we go to have an appointment...to have dinner together at night?"

"Huh? Shi classmate invited me to have dinner together? Hmm...that's really rare, even if there is a meeting of class leaders, I must refuse it!"

"Then let's meet at the school gate after school."

"Oh, don't you have to wear this ugly school uniform? No, my house is very close to here, classmate Shi, why don't you come out after I change clothes."

Bai Qingyue seems to be a little happy about my invitation, and paying attention to how she dresses shows that she has a great affection for me. As expected of a character with an initial favorability of more than 50, no, it should be said that I am worthy of being the hero of the game with a halo. If it were a woman with such a high initial favorability for me in reality, there would not be a single woman.

After school, I came to the business district where I bought underwear with Sakura last time—it was the only business district on the map. I was waiting for Bai Qingyue in a cafe, and by the way I was doing nothing to watch the huge posters of various clothing stores outside the glass window...

"Student Shi~ I kept you waiting."

Turning around, I saw Bai Qingyue who greeted me with a smile. Sure enough, she was well-dressed——she changed into a white shirt and a green retro-style long skirt, her hair was tied and then hung from one side to her chest, the complicated necklace and gems on it were shining brightly, and the belt The design makes her waist very slender.

Overall, it feels like a lady.

"Uh... not too long, where are we going?"

Damn, it's still hard for me to date a girl, I don't know what to do...

I also asked Shen Qing this question, but I only got her rolling eyes...

"Hmm... I'm listening to my classmates~ By the way, there are still 2 hours before the meal time."

By the way, the time is now 4 o'clock, and I have made a reservation for the western restaurant on the top floor at 6 o'clock. By the way, the location of the restaurant was also provided by Shen Qing, who said it is the most suitable place for dating in this game...

But what to do now really stumps me, I don't know what girls like to do at all.

Since this is a patio structure, and we are standing directly below the patio, I can see most of the shops in this mall just by looking up.

Most of them are clothing stores, in addition to dessert shops, game halls, cinemas, KTV...

Calm down, although Bai Qingyue said so, there must be someone she likes more, right? So which one does she want to visit...

I watched her quickly out of the corner of my eye. She seems to be waiting for my answer, but I have already seen it. Her eyes are focused on... the KTV over there!

Oops! As a tone-deficient person, if you go there, you must be killing yourself!

Hurry up and decide on one!

"Well... let's go to the game hall!"

"Hey? Is that so? I've never been there, okay~"

Bai Qingyue was slightly taken aback, then smiled and agreed to my proposal. It's so nice not to have to go to KTV...

The game hall here is located on the second floor, and the holographic game consoles are a bit old in my opinion. After all, in the era of mature VR equipment, even holographic games have almost disappeared. I only learned about it through movies.

There is a huge dynamic billboard at the entrance of the game hall.

"Exchange points for prizes? If you collect 10,000 points, you can exchange them for a huge plush toy. Hurry up and participate?"

'Giant plush toy'? You're talking about that giant teddy bear that sits on a glass case in the middle of the hall? It's really huge, I'm afraid this one is as tall as me...

"Hey, that bear is so cute..."

"I know! I'll try!"

Since it is a compliment, the bear must want to take it? She has already lived up to her desire to go to KTV and must not relax here! The holographic game is too simple for me who played the video game superbly for the first time in "Sakura Story"!

——So when she said this, I thought I understood what she meant. It took me more than an hour to collect 10,000 points...

"Congratulations, you can take that teddy bear!"

When I was exhausted from the shooting game equipment, the usher handed me the teddy bear.

"I won the bear, please accept it..."

It feels like my whole body is shriveled when I say this... But, it's good that she can be happy...

"...Thank you, but classmate Shi—I'm allergic to plush toys."

Although she was smiling, her tone was full of helplessness...

"..."

What? ! She thought she would be happy to win the plush teddy bear easily, but the other party said she was allergic? !

"However, I thought classmate Shi worked so hard to get that teddy bear, but I didn't expect it to be given to me. It would be nice to have this kind of intention."

"Why?"

She actually... always thought I wanted that bear? By the way, in order to surprise her, I didn't say that I earned points for bears to give to her. Did this result in such a misunderstanding? !

So this game arranges a plush teddy bear and a girl who is allergic to plush toys why on earth!

"Ah, it's almost time for dinner ~ let's go there!"

While I was dazed, she was already walking towards the elevator and beckoning me...

"—Your black truffle steak, please enjoy it slowly."

Not long after we came to the restaurant and sat down to order, the waiter gently placed two signature black truffle steaks in front of us. Fragmented black truffles are sprinkled on top of the steak, served with a tender mushroom sauce - if it wasn't for the game, I would never have had the opportunity to eat this kind of food.

The stuffed teddy bear, now relegated to the side seat, is watching us with its round plastic black eyes.

It's embarrassing...

It was dark outside at this time. From this height, you can just see the orange sky in the distance, and the little lights of this small town are like stardust scattered by the orange afterglow.

"It's such a treat to have dinner here, the sunset view here has such a peaceful beauty."

She propped her cheek with one hand and looked out the window quietly.

"Thank you for inviting me today, it was a pleasure to play with you... If possible, come out more often in the future."

Well, although there was an embarrassing teddy bear incident, since she said so, it means that my strategy today has not failed, right?

"OK."

She suddenly showed an intriguing smile——

"However, girls don't always take the initiative. You should seize opportunities more often, classmate Shi~"

"That's the way it is."

The next day, that is, the Wednesday of the second week after entering the game, I found Shen Qing again to explain yesterday's situation. The location is still the same rooftop.

"So it looks like she's personally interested in you... she's such a fickle woman. Well, it's good for our mission."

However, at noon, I read the book of favorability, and found that the favorability has changed to 63...that is to say, it has increased by 5 points? !

Did I increase by 5 after one day of raiding?

"Do you think it's so easy to chase girls? Even if it's a love game, you think too much."

"Leaving that aside, what did she mean by 'girls don't always take the initiative'?"

"It's tiring to explain such idiot questions to virgins..."

She spread her hands. I am used to this level of ridicule, so I did not refute but listened patiently to her opinion.

"Girls are reserved. Even if she has a crush on you, if you don't take the initiative to find her, don't expect her to take the initiative to find you."

"But Sakura keeps pestering me every day?"

"Well, your virtual girlfriend is indeed an exception... She is a self-aware AI, she was rescued by you, you are her only bond in this world, and she may be a little insecure , so I will pester you every day. It is a wrong idea to look at Sakura itself with the common sense of ordinary girls."

"Well, is that so..."

"There are so many 'virgin' questions, it's annoying."

I have to respond appropriately to Shen Qing's ridicule...

"Why do you always use the word 'virgin' to express your contempt for me? Is there something wrong with being a virgin, or are you no longer..."

"……go to hell!"

As a result, today's discussion ended with me being kicked in the stomach.

In fact, what Shen Qing said was correct, Bai Qingyue's favorability for me just rose to 63 in the Favorability Book.

If it is described in a qualitative way, it has probably entered the level of "good feelings between men and women" instead of the previous "good feelings between ordinary friends". According to Shen Qing's speculation, if the favorability reaches 80, the confession will have a high chance of success.

A date can only increase the favorability by 5 points, and the efficiency of the strategy is low.

——Then my complaint got Shen Qing's response of "hehe, if it was in reality, the beautiful girl would not even agree to date you"... Why did you tell the reality of the bloody forest, this guy.

Fortunately, our purpose is just to test her, and we don't need to reach 80 favorability.

Under the strong strategy of stalking and stalking guided by Shen Qing, Bai Qingyue's favorability finally reached 72 on Friday.

"72 is barely okay, read the file back to Wednesday, and check the favorability immediately."

According to Shen Qing, every day as an NPC in the game is extremely boring, so she just hopes that I will finish the mission quickly...

I went back as promised and found Feifei...

"Hey? It really went down! Only 58!"

I tentatively approached Bai Qingyue and asked her if she remembered the date and stuffed toys. She really looked blank. If she said it was a fake, she could even go to select the best actress award. She even asked me why I knew she was allergic to plush toys, but I used an excuse that I didn't believe.

Not 100% reliable, but the best way to rule it out in the current situation. The experiment with Bai Qingyue successfully proved this point, that is, the favorability will be cleared after loading the file.

Although there are still doubts in the book of favorability, it is Lin Liyu's high favorability that has never changed. However, according to the current plan, the next test target is Yang Jiahui.

Yang Jiahui is working off-campus, and I have been buying cakes at Xingyuan Cake Shop, but I haven't had any additional communication with her, and the favorability is only 30 so far...

This favorability can be said to be an ordinary classmate who doesn't even have friends, so it is completely impossible to invite her on a date. If I want to increase my favorability with her, I may need an event or an opportunity. Judging from the experience of Mina Mizuhara's concert in "The Story of Falling Cherry", generally this opportunity is a crisis. If I can help her overcome this crisis, then the favorability will increase very quickly. Even if it didn't help her overcome the crisis, the shared experience would lead to an increase in liking.

But where to find this crisis?

"—Stupid Ayuan!"

I don't know when the tradition of idiots like to call others idiots was passed down, but I have to say that this child, Feifei, can help me relax my spirit very well.

"What strange name are you calling me again? Don't want to eat the cake?"

It's just that every time I want to read the book of favorability, I need to bring a cake to this silly cuteness, which makes me tired of running a lot of errands...

"You're an idiot, what's wrong with calling you an idiot—it hurts! Don't pull my braid!"

Anyway, no one can see bullying this stupid ghost. Only I can see how pitiful it is. Interacting with her more is the only thing I can care about her as a player. After all, she is different from Sakura...

"Will it be troublesome to make a cake?"

After being educated by me, this silly boy finally learned to sit on a chair honestly.

"It will be very troublesome. It will take a long time to make a cake."

"But I heard a few people say that they need to order a lot of cakes for the party, and they don't know where to order them. I really want to recommend the cakes from Xingyuan Cake Shop to them."

"What does this have to do with me... Wait!"

No, there is often a close connection between seemingly unrelated things... So, the relationship between this matter and Xingyuan Bakery and Yang Jiahui is ready to come out.

"Feifei! You are such a genius!"

Since she was acting as a guide, the suggestiveness of this unintentional small talk was obvious. What I want to do is to recommend them to Xingyuan Cake Shop, and once the bakery takes over this business, it will have to make a lot of cakes.

The cake shop will be short of manpower, and as long as I apply, I will have the opportunity to make cakes with Yang Jiahui...

"Eh? Although I don't know what idiot A Yuan means, but of course I'm a genius! Ugh! Put me down, don't hold me up like a child! I'm not... not happy at all!"

Feifei, who was lifted up by me, didn't seem to understand how much help she had helped me, but it didn't matter that at this moment, in my opinion, this silly look was even cuter than usual, so cute that I could hold it without any scruples. She held up high and turned around...

"Today's panties are cute too!"

"Stupid Ayuan! You, where are you looking! Put me down, don't peek at other people's underwear!"

Feifei, who was broken, finally realized that she had been exporting benefits unconsciously, and for a moment forgot that she was struggling to hold down her fluffy skirt with all her strength.

"Where are the people you mentioned?"

After turning around intimately like this for nearly five minutes, I put down Feifei, whose eyes almost turned into circles. I must not miss this opportunity, and I still want to ask this child about the serious matter.

"I heard it's a student union... lah... I'm so dizzy..."

It was beyond my expectation that there would be a student union in a school with such a background, probably because of the needs of the plot.

"Good boy, I will bring you a cake next time!"

——Leaving Feifei, who was elated because of the promise of the cake, I found the student union without much trouble.

It really is a task for the players. After so long, they still haven't discussed where to order the cake...

I easily pretended to be an enthusiastic passer-by and successfully recommended Xingyuan Cake Shop to them.

Immediately after school, I waited near the bakery, only to discover something extraordinary. Yang Jiahui was talking to some young men and women in the alley next to the bakery.

The tattoos and costumes of several young men and women clearly told me that they were the legendary bad youths.

It's not the first time I've done eavesdropping. I quietly approached the alley from the side——

"——Why bother? To grab some lucky money for elementary school students and junior high school students, isn't it better than you earn more by working hard here?"

The voice of an unknown youth.

"I've said that I won't do those things again, so you should stop as soon as possible."

And this is Yang Jiahui's voice.

"It seems that you are no longer the Yang Jiahui we knew, and you forgot the old days in a blink of an eye."

"What, do you want to do it?"

There was no trace of fear in Yang Jiahui's tone.

Obviously this is a sudden incident that urgently needs me to come forward, and it involves the dark history of the heroine-but will it appear idiotic to jump out now?

The answer is yes.

"Didn't you see that she was unwilling? Don't force her."

I pretended to be deep and walked out, although the school uniform on my body took away a lot of my momentum.

"Who are you?! An idiot?"

"It seems to be from the same school as her! And alone!"

"A high school student dares to stand out? Are you sick?"

"I said... what are you doing here alone?"

Yang Jiahui looked at me impatiently, just like a little girl...

"This is the helper you found? Three good students, right? Do you want to smash us to death with textbooks?"

"Not my helper, shut up!"

Obviously, Yang Jiahui couldn't help showing her fiery temper for a moment... shouted at the bad young people in front of her.

"That's good, we have sympathy for you, but it's really unnecessary for this inexplicable kid."

"Hehehe, after talking nonsense for a long time, I have been waiting for a long time, so if you want to do it, come!"

It's not the first time I've been beaten in a game, anyway, it can't cause any harm to my body in the real world, so I'm not afraid of the scene in front of me.

"You are not allowed to do it."

To my surprise, Yang Jiahui stood beside me.

"I came here this time to order cakes for my friends in the student union, and they actually arrived soon."

It’s fine if I get beaten by myself, but I can’t just watch the girl who wants to attack get beaten together too...

I thought about it for a while. In fact, most of these unhealthy youths are just trying to use their words, and they don't really know how to do it. Even many of their subordinates are just friends of friends, called to support the scene...

If I want to avoid doing it, I have to scare them, and student council members are a good choice.

"Look, here they are."

I pointed to a group of chatting and laughing teenagers and girls wearing Bailu Middle School uniforms by the side of the road...

Really said Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived! Regardless of the combat effectiveness, we must win in terms of numbers.

The unscrupulous young man looked at us with an unkind expression, then looked at those students, then left without looking back after a few harsh words...

"Huh, finally left."

I deliberately breathed a sigh of relief in front of Yang Jiahui...

"You're pretty smart."

Yang Jiahui looked at me with a complicated expression. This is a good thing, at least it shows that I have left an impression on her...

"Hahaha, what I said is true! It is indeed I who recommended them to come here to order cakes, but I didn't know that they would come here by such a coincidence."

"... Forget it, thank you today."

"It doesn't matter, if you have any questions, just come to me!"

Anyway, there will be places that need my help soon... As I thought, the middle-aged proprietress of the bakery has a sad face.

"Hey... suddenly there is such a big business order, and we can finish it with just the two of us. But those people are also members of the student union of Bailu Middle School. If they will continue to cooperate frequently after taking over the business - I must trouble you to stay Let’s make cakes, overtime pay will be calculated separately.”

The proprietress said the second half of the sentence to Yang Jiahui. She frowned and thought for a while, and finally agreed to the proprietress' request.

"But this is still insufficient manpower, we have to make it to 12 o'clock in the evening..."

"That won't work, I have to go back and take care of grandma."

What, if I heard correctly, Yang Jiahui said to take care of grandma?

I looked at her again—even though she was wearing an apron and a hat with the bakery logo on it, she was still the girl with long purple hair and a cold face.

Did such a girl have a grandmother? Don't these three beautiful girls have superpowers and magic to resist creatures from other worlds alone? What's more, I just heard about her dark history...

But now is not the time to complain about that.

"If you need help, I can come and work for a day..."

The proprietress and Yang Jiahui turned to me at the same time.

Although the people from the student union have sent them away, I still stay here waiting for the opportunity to attack.

"Are you a student of Bailu Middle School?"

"I am Yang Jiahui's classmate, and I am also a frequent customer who comes here to buy cakes every day."

"Yang Jiahui, do you know him?"

Yang Jiahui looked at me for a while with a complicated expression, then sighed.

"……know."

"That's great, this young man is reliable at first glance! If you can come to help, you can also finish the cake and go home earlier. That's it, let's make the cake tomorrow!"

The proprietress repeatedly patted me on the shoulder, are you the uncle of the weapon shop or the owner of the ramen shop who traveled through some hot-blooded manga?

But baking cakes together means we have a chance to overcome a shared crisis. Even if I am the opposite sex with 0 EQ, I can increase my favorability, right?
