Orange light streams into the room - a scene ripped straight out of an anime romcom.
Yet instead of the MC, it is you who is standing there.
And instead of the childhood friend, or the top beauty of the school, or any other wild hilarious scenario, there stood a normal girl.

Well..."normal". She's your seatmate, the [Mob Character] Hanazawa Mayumi.
She's leaning on her desk, bag clutched with both hands.
But all her focus seems to be on the doorway. Where you stand.

She nods. "Good afternoon, Yamada-san."
You have never been alone in a classroom with a girl before. You feel an uncomfortable sensation in the back of your neck. What's going to happen next?
You head over to your seat and start packing up. Hanazawa says nothing. You only feel her gaze.

With all your stuff packed, you're just about ready to go home.
Yet the girl hasn't said anything at all.

Huh you know I wonder if the MC notices when the Viewers are watching us, like if he used to all his wacky highjinks and shit and suddenly for random periods of time everything gets boring, like disturbingly suddenly terribly boring and he doesn't know why
>>
>>2124577
We don't know if she's fully Awakened, or if the world is reacting to our existence by trying to remove an unnecessary distraction.

>>2124561
>"...Could I help you with something?"
>>
>>2124561

>"...Could I help you with something?"

Hanazawa looks up at you. "...How are you feeling, Yamada-san?"
Eh? What do you mean?
"PE. You weren't with the other guys so I thought that something happened."
You laugh. "It was nothing. I'm fine now, Hanazawa-san. Thank you for the concern. I just pulled a muscle earlier this morning."
"Ah, is that so?"

...It's just idle chatter. You think that this is a good time to excuse yourself, but
"Yamada-san, where do you live?"
"Eh? Um...by the artificial river."
"Hmm...that's pretty far, huh..."
"From the school? No, not really."
"That's not really what I meant..." she mutters.

Hanazawa pushes away from her table and makes her way to the door.
"Then, want to walk together for a bit?"

Situations where the animation has gone all QUALITY and even the cabbage looks like a balloon.

If this was a light novel we wouldn't have this problem at all.

>>2124611
Maybe she's been awoken too?
>>
>>2124612
As I said in previous thread, maybe the animator knew us in our previous life as a greasy otaku NEET before we got Truck-kun
>>
>>2124611
You walk down the hallway in silence. There's a fair bit of distance between you two, something you did in consideration for her. Who knows what others will say when they see you two.
...But who will think that? Aren't all the other people in this school just Mobs?

Ahh, awkward, awkward. Think of a topic...

>Club?
"Hanazawa-san, are you part of a club?"
"Not really."
"Eh, that's surprising," You try to keep up the chat, but you don't really have much experience. "This school seems to be pretty supportive of their clubs."
"Yes, that's right. I've actually been recruited a few times now."
"And you didn't join any of them?"
"No. They don't really interest me." She laughs for a bit. "I'm not really a person who has a lot of interests."
"Ah, is that s--"

"It's been a while that I found someone interesting too."
You look at her. She's looking in your direction as well.
"Yamada-san...you kind of feel...different. It might be rude to say, but last month I didn't really get that impression, but..."

>>
>>2124708
>"Different how?"

She pauses, looks you up and down. Hanazawa keeps on walking. You follow her.
"I don't really know myself...it's probably nothing. I apologize for saying weird things."

You wonder for a bit. Maybe...?
"Hey, Hanazawa-san. Have you noticed something weird with our classmates?"
"What do you mean?"
"Like the class rep for example, or Tezuka-san."

She thinks for a bit.
"Class rep has always been a kind person, even back in middle school. Tezuka-san can sometimes be air-headed though, yeah..."
"What about their hair?"
She raises her eyebrows.
"What about their hair, Yamada-san?"

She looks like you have no idea what you're talking about.

"No, it's nothing. Sorry for the weird questions."
You resume your walking. You've exited out the right wing of the school and are heading out the gate now.
"They do have nice hair, though."
"What?"
"Hikaru-san and Tezuka-san. They're all silky and glossy, and Tezuka-san even sleeps all the time..."

You notice her tug on her pink scrunchie. She's conscious about her hair, it seems.

Is it possible that Hanazawa is a Main or Side Character already, that just hasn't become relevant yet?

"W-Well," you stammer while trying to say it. "I don't really...as a boy, I don't see your hair being that different, Hanazawa-san. Black is a perfectly fine color for hair! In my opinion, it looks good, it suits you."
She stares at you for a second before removing her gaze. You see the the tips of her earlobe glow pink.

Crap, you made it all weird now...

But before you could try to clear things up, she giggles.
"You are interesting after all, Yamada-san."
Now it's your turn to feel a bit red.

In no time you reach the bottom of the hill.
"Well, Hanazawa-san, I'm this way..."
She seems to be going the other way, so you bow your head to each other.
You turn around, about to head home, when she speaks again.

"...Yamada-san? Could I ask you something?"
You turn around. You can't see her face. Is it because she's a Mob, or is it the wind blowing on her bangs, blocking her appearance?
"When you were sleeping, and Hikaru-san woke you up...what did you say?"
She straightens up and looks you in the eye.
"I didn't quite catch it...um..."

Oh god, this is turning into a Makoto Shinkai movie.
>>
>>2124851
>>"Your name."
I thought you were trying to wake me
>>
>>2124851
You tried to deny it.
You tried to convince yourself that you don't remember.
No. You remember full well.

"Hanazawa."
"...Yes?"
You shake your head. "No. That's what I said when I woke up. Hanazawa."
Somehow, it feels like you're confessing. It feels like your heart is popping out of your chest.
She stares, wide eyed, breath held. Then,

"A-Ah. Is that so? I mean, right, cause we're seatmates right? You thought it was me waking you up. That's right. Ok. Well, see you on Monday, Yamada-san."

She quickly escapes from the scene before you could even say anything in reply.
You wonder if she got what you meant to say.
You then wonder what even it is you want to say.
You go home scratching your head.
"Girls..."

-------

You arrive home before it got too dark. Your father's already in the kitchen. The smell of fried soy sauce and spices fill the house.
"Oh, Ken-chan, good evening! We're having stir-fry tonight."
You pause. Didn't he say something about advice before...?

You wait for him to finish his cooking before approaching him.
"Oh, Ken-chan. I thought you went up to your room," he says while wiping down his sweat.
You hold your arms, unexpectedly embarassed. "Dad. I was wondering if I could ask you advice..."
"Oho! Finally seeing your old man's wisdom huh? Take a seat!"

You sit down, and upon being motioned to continue, you tell the whole story. Waking up, saying her name, the walk back from school, and the scene from the bottom of the hill.
Your dad stares at you with an exaggerated look of disappointment.

"X."
"...Hm?"
"Fail! 0 out of 10! NG! Strike out~!" He motions like a referee throwing a player out. "What the hell is that, Ken-chan?! You have no game at all!"
"G-Game?"
"Listen. You've only been seatmates with this girl for a month, and now you're saying her name in your sleep? You don't need to be a girl to see that's creepy, Ken-chan!"

He shakes his head. "Really, Ken-chan, you need to do better than that..." He pouts, and scratches his head while thinking. "Well...maybe if you were more handsome it could've worked..."
Oi.
"The thing is, right now he doesn't see you as a potential. The best thing to do right now is to maximize your male appeal."
"Male appeal?"
"Everyone likes a guy who's got something going on for him. Well, right now, you don't have a club, you have the body of a stick, and you lack something creative."
"Creative?"
"Well, even guys should be creative, don't you think! Makes them look more feminine to the girls too. Maybe pick up an instrument, drawing, something like that."
"How about cooking?"
"Cooking? Ehh, well, I could teach you some, but the kitchen will always be my domain! Hahaha!"

He removes his apron and heads for the door.
"Well, I'm headed to drinking with my buddies. Eat the food while it's still hot!"
Before he leaves, though, he ruffles your head, smiling.
"Good job though, son. But you need to think for the long term. You have nothing to offer to this girl right now. Make her think different."
She leaves you behind in the dining room, waving his hand.

"...If anyone can catch a girl like mom, it's definitely this guy," you say to yourself.
>cont'd
>>
>>2124996
Don't think he caught her, as much as she wrangled him.
>>
>>2124996
You wake up by yourself at five in the morning. Shouldn't your dad have woken you up by four?
You climb down, and see the explanation. Your dad is sprawled on the couch, sleeping soundly. Knowing your mom, she probably kicked him out of the room seeing him drunk.

>Go an actual jog this time, instead of your dad's crazy sprinting routine.
Well, after asking for your dad's advice yesterday, it'd be pretty stupid not to follow it, right?
You change into your exercise clothes and head out.

Unlike last time, the sun is actually up this time, and there are a few people with you as well. Some are walking their dogs, some delivering the mail, some jogging as well.
This would've been a perfectly fine time to jog before school. Why in the world does your dad need to wake you up at four then...?

You follow your fellow joggers, trying to feel out a good route. You discover a few places you didn't notice before, like a playground, a place to buy drinks, and even a little pagoda to rest in.
The joggers stare at you first, surprised by the new presence of this guy with an awkward jog, but eventually they return to their routine. They seemed to have accepted you.

Upon returning to the riverbank, it seems you've figured out a nice routine for yourself that goes through all the landmarks you've discovered. You think you could go another round as well before heading back.

As you jog, you spot her again.
This jogger seems to be an amateur like you as well, more dragging her feet than running. She also has way too many layers of clothes on, for a jog in May.

You pick up your pace, until you reach her side. You glance to see it's a girl wearing really thick glasses, all fogged up due to her panting.

You slow down and try to follow her pace, maintaining your distance so it won't seem like your outright following her.
She doesn't even seem to notice your presence there, though. You both continue your jog in silence.

Matching her pace is a bigger problem than you thought. Slowing down is a different challenge altogether, you find. Nonetheless, you follow her lead and jog on as usual.
Coincidentally enough, her route seems to be exactly the same as the route you came up with. Though it took longer than what it would've taken if you jogged alone, you eventually loop back to the riverbank.

This seems to be a good as time as any to depart.
You jog away from her, deeming that saying farewell when you haven't actually spoken at all will just be misunderstood as creepy.
Instead, you say it in your head. Goodbye, miss Mob jogger.

You arrive back at your house, satisfied with your work out.

Dad's already awake, cooking in the kitchen. And for some reason, wearing a pair of sunglasses.

You go and take a shower first, and upon returning, see that has breakfast has been prepared.
"Um, dad?"
"Hmmph?"
"Isn't katsu in the morning kind of a bit...?"
He stares at you over his sunglasses, eyes bloodshot red.
"If papa doesn't get frying oil in his system right now, he's gonna start tearing this house down."
And with that, he pours a ton of gravy over your breaded porkchop.

You sit and eat your food obediently. You try not to think of what your mother will do when she wakes up later and sees this "breakfast".

-------

So it's the weekend. With your cellphone confiscated, you can't really plan a meeting with anyone (as if you have anyone to call). And without a way to contact you, it's probably better you don't leave Yumegawa first.
So you have multiple options in your mind.

"Dad, I think I'll head over to town for a bit."
"Harrumph."

Well, with that sorted, you leave the dining room and start to change into your casual clothes. Maybe you could do some setting investigation while you're at it...

>cont'd
>>
>>2125120
As with most small towns like this, most of the fancy and upscale commercial stuff could be found by the train station. Though you've been here before, you're still surprised to see such a sleepy small town with a mall, different cafes, shops, and restaurants. How convenient for the MC...
You went all the way here with the intention to investigate, but...
"Hmm."

The whole place is not at all different to the "normal" world. No weaponsmiths or seedy, suspicious bars, nothing. It's just a small town commercial complex.
You find yourself standing in the plaza with nothing really to do for the rest of the day.

With your funds running low as it is, it might be a good idea to get on that part time job your mother is talking about.
You look for interesting stores to apply for. You spot two that pique your interest: an arcade and a family restaurant.

I feel like we'd end up meeting with mc at the Arcade anyway.
>>
>>2125162
>Apply at the family restaurant

You head for the family restaurant. Ideally, you'd want something like a waiting job, though you're not that opposed to working in the kitchen either.
The glass doors automatically slide open. A girl wearing a cute waitress outfit greets you.

"Welco--ara? If it isn't Yamada-kun."
The waitress smiles and sweeps back her lavander hair. "Class rep? What are you doing here?"
"Working. Hang on, could you wait for like ten more minutes? We could have lunch together when my shift ends."
"Actually, I wasn't--"

Buzz!
"Ah, a customer! Take a seat first Yamada-kun, I promise, just ten minutes!"
And there she goes, off to serve a table.

...What kind of scenario did you end up into now...

That's how you ended up eating lunch together with one of the top two beauties of the school.
"Yamada-kun? What are you thinking of getting? The curry here's really nice. Ah, but the salisbury steak's great too...and we have to get the parfait later..."
Isn't this just like a--

You slap yourself.
"Yamada-kun? Is something wrong?"
"Nothing. Just bad thoughts."
She looks at you confused, but in the end shakes her head and looks at the menu again.

(Beware of) Anticlimactic Endings Quest.

>>2125297
A soul-killing quest that is surprisingly relevant. Short read, if you want to look it up.

Yeah we're boned. Everything is just fuck.

>>
>>2125299
It'll be an "Ore Monogatari"-type situation where the MC tries to ship us and the class rep while we try to make him realize she likes him.
>>
>>2125251
seems pretty evenly split, let's do all three

"How long have you been working here, class rep?"
"Hmm? Since back in first year, I think. It's a pretty hard job, but I think helping people seems to be a forte of mine. And aren't the uniforms cute?"

Her waitress uniform is indeed cute, but even in her casual clothes, she looks stunning. The eyes of the other customers seems to always glance at this table.
"I'm surprised he's not against it."
"Who's not against it?"
"Nakamura-san."
You take a sip of water. When you look up, you notice her face has turned darker.
"...Why'd you bring up Eiji, Yamada-kun...?"

Ah crap. You almost forgot. She's a tsundere. She actually thinks she's hiding her emotions well.
"And anyway," she says, angrily sipping her iced tea. "Even if he said that it suits me, i-it's not like I started waitressing because he said that. Idiot!"
For a split second, she breaks the class rep character to mouth off the MC, like any good tsundere would.
"Yamada-kun, why are you grinning?"
"It's nothing, ignore me."

She sighs and slumps back to the leather seats. She's looking off to some direction, probably thinking about the guy again.
For some reason, you had an impulse to break that reverie.

"Actually, class rep..."
"Yes?"
"I came here because I was looking for a part time job."
"Ah, really? Well, what job are you looking for?"
"I was considering waiting tables as well..."

She frowns.
"As much as I'd like to help you on that regard, Yamada-kun, I'm afraid we're full up for waiters."
"A-Ah, is that so..."
"However, if you're comfortable working on the kitchen, I'm willing to talk to the manager for you."
"Is that so? Thank you so much, that really means a lot to me."

She smiles and winks. "Hey, I'm your class rep. Didn't I say to approach me when you needed any help?"
You nod and say thanks again.

"I could even help you in that regard too."
You raise your eyebrows as you take a sip of water. What does she mean?
She grins and leans closer. For a second, that smile looked really, really mischievous...

"Ha. Na. Za. Wa. San~!"

You do a spittake.

>>2125319
>Play it off
"Oh, sorry about that," you muster the straightest and most serious face you could. "I just thought you were Hanazawa because she sits next to me."
She looks at you, rubbing her chin, unconvinced. "Really?"
"Really."
"It's not because you were dreaming of he--"
"Denied. That's really all there is to it, class rep."

She frowns, but then in the end sighs and shrugs her shoulders. "Aw, you're no fun at all, Yamada-kun."
You shrug your shoulders too. To be honest, you yourself don't really know what you feel about her yet.
Suddenly, she perks up and faces you again smiling.

"Then prove it."
"Prove what?"
"Prove that that's just it and there's nothing else there."
Your brows furrow. "How exactly am I going to prove that, class rep?"

She raises her hand, and point to the entrance of the restaurant.
There are two [Mob Characters] standing there, talking to a waiter.
You recognize the pink scrunchie of one of them.

Noon. The meals are placed in front of you. The class rep, Hikaru Ryou, continues to smile mischievously.
"Prove it then."

You can't remove your gaze from the plates. It's as if you were suddenly afflicted with a stiff neck.

Behind you, you hear the voice of a familiar seatmate talking to a waiter.

You're facing away from them. No way have they seen your face yet.
But Hikaru-san is watching your every move.

You--

You turn your focus on appearing as inconspicous as possible. You start digging into the meal, hoping maybe that those two foot steps approaching are not theirs.
"...Yamada...kun?"
Your blood freezes. Your head turns slowly, neck made of rust.
There stood Hanazawa, alongside with her Mob friend.

She's gripping the straps of her purse tightly. The emotions in her eyes are unreadable.
She moves her gaze to the other side of the table.
"And...class rep."
The way she said that last statement, sounded...venomous.

"Yo!" The class rep raises her arm to them while smiling and nibbling on a toothpick.
Read the mood!

"Eh, Yumi-chan, you know these two?"
Her Mob friend interjects. Hanazawa, on the other hand, still has her eyes on the class rep.
Her Mob friend snickers, and whispers something that you barely heard.

"Shouldn't we leave them alone? They're on a date..."

"Er, actually, I was just looking for a job...And, Hikaru-san just happened to be working here, so--"
"You're having lunch together?" Hanazawa's voice, though trying to sound normal, oozes of suspicion.
Class rep seems to be eating all of this up.

"Anyway," says Hikaru, "Why don't we eat together, you guys? We could share the booth between the four of us."
You and Hanazawa seems to be against it, but

"Sure, sounds fun! Right, Yumi-chan?"
She looks a bit shocked, but faced with this sudden question, it seems she can't come up with any objections.
"I-I guess..."

"That's settled, then!" Says the class rep. "Well, as for the seating arrangement..."

>Sit beside the Mob

You end up in the corner of the booth, with Hanazawa's friend beside you. In front of you is Hanazawa, an orchestration made by the class rep.
The Mob is...well, she's about as unremarkable as they get.

"You're Yumi-chan's class rep? Thank you for taking care of my friend! But wow, you're so pretty Hikaru-san! !re you a model?"
"No need to be thankful, taking care of my classmates is part of my duty as a class rep...and I'm really not that pretty, you just caught me in a good hair day."
"Wow, you're so cool, Hikaru-san!"

Even her statements are your typical cliche Mob replies.
Hanazawa is sipping on her drink while staring out the window. She stays quiet.

What's with the long face?

>>2126807

She glances at you, before returning her gaze to outside the window.
"...I didn't ask anything, Yamada-san. Why are you acting so defensive?"

Hikaru almost chokes on her food. Though she's talking to the Mob character, it seems one of her ears is on both of you.
You have to convince class rep that nothing's going on between you two, right?

So--

That's right you need to explain the whole situation to "her" first.

"Oh, would you look at that, I need to go to the comfort room." You say to no one in particular.

The Mob lets you out of the booth. You try to ham it up and pretend lost.

"Ara? Where's the comfort room, I wonder?"
With this, you could have a private conversation with "her"...
Her, in this case, being--

Not really, answer Hanazawa, when class rep goes "so you like her kyaaa" we can still pretend we don't by saying we dont want any misunderstandings to happen that would put gossip about her in the mouth of everyone. EZ deflects.

I don't want to fall into the first girl trap.

Hell, I'm under suspicion that Hanazawa is actually a trap laid out by the director to try and reign us in.
>>
>>2126898
"Er, Hanazawa-san, would you happen to know?"
It seems she got the cue instantly, because she stands immediately up without a word. Class rep lets her pass by, but before you turn around, she smirks. Better fix this fast, she seems to say.

You both make your way in front of the comfort room, away from the view of the booth.
Upon arriving, she faces you with crossed arms. She's waiting for what you have to say.

Because she likes us after we said that she was the first name that came to our mind after waking up in a suspiciously awkward way of confessing. Remember anime rules.

>>2126935
>"Why are you so angry, Hanazawa-san?"

You know, on a side note, I've noticed just how much the class rep has been interacting with us. Now, it may be just coincidence, but what if all this interaction is her trying to actually escape her current role?

>>
>>2126977

I have literally nothing to apologize for, dude.
>>
>>2126980
Could always be playing that up for the audience. As a main girl, she's more likely to have the spotlight on her at any given time, so she'd have to play it more carefully.
>>
>>2126977
YES
>>
>>2126971
We could check if she's awakened discretely
>>
>>2126979
You're pretty lost then pardner. Basically in every anime the interactions between 2 peeps obv in love is usually awkward and indirect. They never go "do you wanna date me?" like normal people, instead they try to find abstract and absurd ways to confess hoping they'll get the meaning behind them (which usually the dense protagonist does not). There you go, crash course.

Backing,

We really don't, yeah. Talking to another girl is something no sane girl should immediately get upset over.

Hey, maybe we should do that. Just be the 'common sense' person.

>>2126992
Sure but you don't passive aggressively ask her why she's mad
>>
>>2126935

This >>2126949
>>
>>2126984
When we interacted with her I don't think it was an audience moment. I mean it'd be weird for the audience to be staring at the girl and a mob in the middle of a hallway or whatever. Then again I dont know anymore.

>>2127001
It's not passive aggression, I just want her to tell us directly.

Ah geez, man. I'm sorry. Scrolled too fast.
>>
>>2127007
I can get behind that, I'd probably ask her in a different way though

That's assuming we're still a basic mob character to the audience. I'm leaning towards we are at a level similar (maybe slightly higher) to Hanazawa in the character tree.

>Apologize for this misunderstanding

"Look, Hanazawa-san...there seems to be some sort of misunderstanding. I'm only here to get a job, and Hikaru-san just happened to be working here. That's it. There's nothing going on in between the two of us."
Silence. She then sighs, and looks at you. "It's not about that, Yamada-san. I just don't know why you keep on apologizing to me."
"It's because you're mad, Hanazawa-san."
"I'm not mad."
"Yes, you are."
"No, I'm not."
"Yes, yo--"

"Ok, so what if I am?!" Suddenly, her voice raises. "You told me yesterday about saying my name in your sleep. And now you're romping off with the class rep?!"
"Like I told you, I'm just asking her about a job..."

The emotions in her face are conflicted. You wonder when did you start seeing these small subtleties of her, despite being a Mob.
"You're right, Yamada-san. Sorry. It's just..."

She inhales, as if readying herself.
"Tell it to me straight. Yamada-san."

"Do you like me?"

Bro, I'm telling you why she's acting the way she's acting. I'm not telling you what we're supposed to do you dense fucko.

It's not that we don't like her. It's that we barely know her.

All these people saying "I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU LOL" are fucking retarded. We have no idea how far we go back before we awakened, so if your goal is to make us look like a complete tard then keep your vote as is.

>>2127088
Just because you want a romance doesn't mean you have to throw it to the first female presented to you.

Also we're secretly in our 30s
>>
>>2127103

We're the transfer student, remember?
>>
>>2127096
I think we can try to normalize but the thing I want people to realize is that they're not insane by choice. If you want to get any decent relationship you're gonna have to meddle quite a bit with them and set the normal pace yourself, rather than just go "not good, next".


Side-note: I hope the fucker that put captchas in 4chan dies a slow fucking death in his sleep.

FUCK YOU MOOT

I vote yes! Let's jump in to this head first!

>>2127103
We transferred in a month ago, and I would guess we weren't that social able.

>>2127107
We still don't know how long we've been here.
>>
>>2127103
Considering she had no opinion on us until we awakened we didn't have a prior relationship
>>
>>2127103
Were we not the new transfer student. Unless the writers have suddenly make Hanazawa our old childhood friend we haven't seen for over a decade, we seriously should not know her.

>>2127131
YOU FOOL! That's how bad harem coms START!
>>
>>2127019
>I don't know, I barely know you. I wanna know more if that means anything.

"Everything's happening so fast. We don't know each other well enough yet, I think. But I do want to get to know you more, Hanazawa-san. I'm sure of that."
She pauses. And then, Hanazawa-san sighs. "Yeah, you're right. Sorry. I was getting all caught up in my emotions too."
"Emotions?"
"It's because of what you said, yesterday, idiot! You made me go all doki doki and stuff."

You both laugh at how you've been acting the past few minutes. The tension in the air lightens up after what seems like a long time.
"So," you say. "I hope we learn more about each other in the future, Hanazawa-san. Let's be friends."
She smiles and nods. "Same to you too, Yamada-san."

You were about to return to your seat when a question pops in your head.
"Say, Hanazawa-san."
"Hm?"
"Since you asked me, I think it would be fair to ask back. How do you feel about me? Do you like me?"

She turns around, smiles, and steps towards you. So close you could smell the shampoo she used this morning.
She reaches out her hand smooths out your bangs. The soft sensation of her fingertips brush against your forehead.

"Who knows?"

She leaves you behind as you stand there, stunned.

>>2127132
One, I don't have any strong interest in any of the girls currently cause we have barely interacted with any of them.

And secondly, what cucking would there be if we went with the class rep at this time? She isn't actually in a relationship with the MC. Non of the girls are. So cucking would be impossible.
>>
>>2127141
True, personally I would like to slowly build up a romance even though Hanazawa is currently my favorite girl in the quest

You don't watch much SoL romance anime, huh?

First highschool crush is basically equal to a lifelong happy marriage in typical animeland.

Since we're not the harem MC (at least, not at the moment) that means we've probably already found out soulmate or some shit.

Inb4 we bankrupt the studio and the anime is canned.

The heavy atmosphere of the table has lifted. Hanazawa became a bit more sociable after the private conversation we had, and that seemed to relax everyone in the table, including yourself.
You have a nice lunch together. The parfait was indeed delicious.

Upon leaving the family restaurant, Hanazawa and her friend are walking in front of you, chatting. To your side, the class rep.
"So, class rep. What do you think?"
"Hmmph." She's not happy. "I still think you and Hanazawa-san are a good fit."
"Is that so?"
"Stop acting so smug! Well, whatever. My work is done for now, I guess."

She waves to the both in front. "Girls, I still have something to do, so I'll have to take my leave here."

"Is that so? Take care, class rep."
"Take care, Hikaru-chan!"

She turns around, arms raised. And just like that, she disappears into the crowd, despite that eye-catching lavander hair.

"Actually, Yumi-chan, me also..."

"Ah is that so...?"

And with that, the two of you are alone again.
Though the atmosphere is much better, there's still an awkwardness in the air. You still feel Hanazawa's hands on your forehead.

>Walk in silence
>"Your friend's kind of weird..."
>>
>>2127207
Wouldn't the authors realize we're forcefully changing the show?

>Walk in silence

You decide to walk together in silence. There's really not much to say after all that has happened.
You walk through the plaza, enjoying the cool spring breeze. It's May, and soon enough summer will arrive in Yumegawa. It's nice to take a stroll while the weather's still close like this.
Hanazawa walks by your shoulder. Though there's still an air of unremarkability about her, you could now easily distinguish her from all the other [Mobs].

Aside from her pink scrunchie, you now notice something like the pink and black eyeliner that she wears. Though aside from that, the makeup she has on seems minimal.
And despite all that, she's still a cute girl.

"Yamada-san."
"Yes?"
"I have to apologize for my friend earlier..."
"Yeah, about that. Is it just me, or she wasn't talking or paying attention to me at all?"
"Well, you have to understand from her point of view, Yamada-san,"

"I mean, she's the one who took your photo in St. Agace."

Good idea, lets do some reminiscing.
But try to keep the hurtful memories at bay.

>>2127307
We might have been a draw or write fag if even a bad one, we might also have a college education depending on when we started the neet life
>>
>>2127273
...Eh?
You freeze. But how is that possible? She's a Mob Character. No way should she have any agency to take your photo right? It's impossible.
You're also a hundred percent sure she's not a main character. You're even starting to forget how she looks like now, only a few minutes later.
"Yamada-kun?"
"Hanazawa-san. Are you sure about this? That she's the one that took my photo?"
"Eh? Yes, I'm pretty sure. She sent it to me personally as well..."

So she's the aforementioned friend of Hanazawa that took your photo. But...she's a Mob.
She shouldn't have been able to take your photo.

5 AM, Sunday morning. You're jogging your normal route. Your dad, already enamored with another project, has decided to leave your work out up to you. Typical.
Your mind is still on the mysterious Mob character who had the agency to take your photo.
Once again you're matching the pace of Jogger Girl. Though her pace is improving, her endurance is still shot. She's already wheezing by the first lap.

I just thought of something. Are harem cliches a commonly known thing here? What would happen if he joined the literary club and wrote a light novel series starring a dense MC and his harem of strange girls.
>>
>>2127336
>Encourage her to take another lap
"Um," you just realized that you haven't actually talked to this girl before. You just matched her pace thinking it would encourage her.
"Er, Miss...I know you're tired...but I think, if we could push through one more lap, we're going to, er..."
You realize you're really not cut out for this motivational talk thing.

"...You could do it, Miss."

You observe her. She's looking at you, face blocked by loose strands of her brown hair and her humongous thick glasses. You thought she was going to trip from sheer exhaustion, but instead, she nods and even matches your pace.
You jog with her on your shared route. And somehow, you even finished it without stopping. It looks like it's just a mental thing.

Upon reaching the spot where you separated yesterday, you raise your hand again.
"See you, miss, this is my stop!"

You jog away, waving your hand. From the corner of your eye, you also see her raise her hand hesitantly.

You arrive home, sweaty and tired. Your mom is sitting in the living room, a rare sight. She's reading a newspaper.
"I'm home, mom."
"Welcome back. Say hi to Kei, Ken, he's in the kitchen."

You nod. Looks like your brother's home from Tokyo this weekend.
You head into the kitchen, and see him behind the refrigerator, looking for food.

"I'm home, Kei."
"Oh, aniki! Welcome back. You want anything?"
"Maybe some water or some milk? I'm thirsty."
"Sure...Hm?"

It seems he's surprised about something.
"What is it Kei?"
"You seem different, aniki."
"Different how?"
You don't really know how you acted before around your little brother.

"I'm not really sure...ah, I got it!" He stands up from the refrigerator and closes the door.

"Hm, well, I'm not really a devil. I'm as much as a devil as I am an angel. But saying it sounds cool, right?"
He says this while munching on a Gari Gari Kun popsicle.
"I call myself a devil because I'm the antithesis of the God of this world."
"...and who is the God of this world?"
"Isn't it obvious? It's the Main Character."
"But what about the higher beings?"
"Higher beings? Ooh, sounds intriguing! Do explain, Aniki."

"Well...isn't this an anime universe? So then the one's who control this world should be the authors...or the viewers..."
"Interesting theory. But you're wrong. This universe was created to serve one purpose and one purpose only: the main character's happiness. The Main Character is the highest being."

we're going to be asking him all the questions btw

>Ask about himself
>Ask about parents

"Who are you really, Kei?"
"Like I said, I'm the [Meta Character]."
"What's your role in this whole thing then?"
"Well...what are meta characters usually used for? Comic relief? Have you ever wondered why our parents are so interesting, aniki?"
"Now that you say it..."
"It's because they were supposed to be my parents. Hot mom and goofy dad." He frowns. "Until you showed up."

>Until I showed up?
>Are you no longer the comic relief?
>>
>>2127570

>>
>>2127570
>Until I showed up?
He nods. "I shouldn't have an aniki in this world. You just suddenly appeared as my brother, and that's why you have such interesting parents."
You just suddenly appeared? Then does that mean the reason why your memories are jumbled are because they were all manufactured?
"Ah, but don't be mad, aniki! I'm really glad to have you now as a big brother."
"Then, is that the reason why you've fled to Tokyo?"
"Well, I fled to Tokyo 'cause I don't want to be *just* a comic relief. To be blessed with such knowledge and only used as the MC's servant...sigh. Though, now that I think about it, me going to Tokyo might be the reason you exist now."

>cont'd
>>
>>2127598
>Ask about [Mobs]

He sighs and leans on the table. "By the way, Aniki, I'm disappointed with you."
"And why is that?"
"Were you some sort of psychopath in your previous life or something?"
"Wha-- No!"
"Then why do you treat Mobs like that, Aniki?"

"...What do you mean?"
"Well, think of it like this. There are two kinds of Mobs: let's call them Alpha Mobs and Beta Mobs.
"Alpha Mobs are important to the story in one way, but they don't contribute enough to be [Side] characters. They're the ones who point the right direction to the dungeon, or the shopskeep.
"Beta Mobs are there to fill an image. Or dragon fodder, you get the idea.
"But that doesn't mean that they're only Mobs! They have families to go home to, they have the free will to make decisions, in other words. They're normal humans. So far, you've been treating them as if they're some sort of sub-human..."

"So, when that girl took a picture of me in St. Agace..."
"It's because she chose too. Though the world revolves around the MC, that doesn't mean Mobs have no free will or identity."
He leans in and winks. "If you want proof, might I refer you to a certain Hanazawa Mayumi?"

Okay so how does he know this shit? He's been gone!
>>
>>2127625
Meta priveleges?
>>
>>2127625
He just got a new brother out of nowhere of course he's been watching us
>>
>>2127625
He probably has powers as the [Meta Character]
>>
>>2127625
He's the Meta character. You can't beat the Meta character.

>>2127634
We're from outside anime world, we might be able to do something

>>2127613
>Ask about [Awakening]
"Now that you've mentioned Hanazawa--"
"You can't."
"...I can't what?"
He leans on the table and smiles. "You can't wake her."

Your breathing stops. "What do you mean?"
"Well, one would have to be [Asleep] to be [Awakened]. And, well, you're the only person in the world who was [Sleeping]."
"Then--"
"Can I ask you something, Aniki?" He interrupts you. "Why is it that you want to wake her up? Is she not good enough as she is right now? Can she not be your friend, your ally, as she is?"
He closes his eyes and beams at you.
"Can you not love her unless she's [Awake] too?"

You stay silent. Kei opens up another packet.
"...'Love' is way too big a word to use right now."
"S'that so?"
"How do you even know about her, anyway?"
He smiles as he munches on a cookie. "I'm [Meta]. Its got its perks."

>cont'd

>>2127642
>"Well, one would have to be [Asleep] to be [Awakened]. And, well, you're the only person in the world who was [Sleeping]."
WHAT DOES IT MEAN
>>
>>2127642
THE LOREEEEEE
>>
>>2127644
We're this world's Cthulu. MC is God, Bro is devil and we're the outsider. Special but not. Other.
>>
>>2127642
So if she's not awake or asleep, what is she? Is she human? Are we?
>>
>>2127642
Looks like no waifus for us unless he's lying
>>
>>2127642
Oh thank god they really are people then.

Hey does he know we where acting this way? Or just that we did. Also was his past life comment because he knew we are reincarnated or just a phrase?
>>
>>2127653
We can still have waifus
they will just never understand the world like we do
>>
>>2127644
>>2127650
I suppose she was made that way, she's just a normal person inside a story, a part of it.
Since he said we were [Sleeping] I guess we really are an outsider.
>>
>>2127655
We should check this without revealing to him that we're from "reality"
>>
>>2127655
The obvious answer is he knows because, like he just explained, he's 『META』. Likely, he already knows where we're from, though wether or not he knows anything about there is another question.
>>
>>2127642
>Ask about the [Main Character]
"So, the Main Character..."
"Ah," he says while brushing off the crumbs off his shirt. "He's the beginning and the end of this world. This whole universe was formed for his one desire."
"Which is?"
"[Happiness]. Once the Main Character achieves [Happiness], this world ends."
"So then, if the harem is fulfilled--"
"Well, you can't really say, since a relationship is not always the key to [Happiness]...but since this is a harem romcom world, then yes, that would be a safe assumption."

So once Nakamura Eiji chooses, does that mean you die again?

"Which leads to the question, Aniki." He pushes away the chair he's sitting on and walks to the doorway where you stand. But before he exits, he puts a hand on your shoulder, and talks in a low tone.

"What are you going to do now? Are you going to prevent the happiness of a person, just so you could live a few years longer? Or are you actually going to support the harem's fulfillment, and do something noble with your life for once..."
He grips your shoulder strongly. It hurts. You look at him. He has an evil smile on.

"...You filthy, past life NEET?"

You push him away. He dodges your arm easily and smiles.
"Well, there's always the third option."
"...Which is...?"
"Live your life as you see fit. Work for your own [Happiness]. It doesn't mean that you were reborn as a Mob, Alpha or Beta, that you have to bend to the MC's whims. The same way I didn't become just a comic relief."
He pats you on the shoulder before exiting to the living room.

"It's your choice, aniki. What do you want to do?"

(TO BE CONTINUED)
>>
>>2127672
>He dodges your arm easily
We need to up our combat.
Also if we convince the MC that fighting would make him happy does this anime become a battle series?
>>
>>2127672
Wow, this is getting good. Props to you author!

Anyhow guys, what do you think we should do? Maybe we should try to work for our own happiness?
>>
>>2127672
>"It's your choice, aniki. What do you want to do?"
Why do I feel like he's trying to pass the devil role off to us
>>
>>2127672
Fuck it, let's just fulfill the harem. In these quests the MC always ends up getting it despite our best efforts. Might as well just do something good so we get reincarnated into something cool next life. Maybe we can pilot mechs.
>>
>>2127672
I have a boner from how fucking great this is holy shit what
>>
>>2127680
I don't think we can trust him, also why doesn't he know what would make the MC happy?
>>
>>2127677
Wait if we get the MC to enjoy literally anything else more than romance we can do anything we like. I support trying to mold the world through the MC.
>>
End the world and not to see the protag happy.
Fuck, we're bound to get a much better world afterwords
>>
>>2127672
I have a better idea. Lets do a Pleasantville (1998) and free this world from its tropes and devices.
>>
>>2127692
Sounds good to me.
Supporting.
>>
>>2127692
Apparently we can't awaken people according to our brother, he could be wrong or lying though
>>
>>2127692
We can't cause everyone knows only this. We can't change these people. We can only change the world through it's God, the MC
>>
>>2127692
supporting also
>>2127696
we can die trying
>>
Thanks for reading everyone! We're already past 750, that's insane. So new thread starting tomorrow it looks like!
We usually run at 01:00 UTC, and I try to post in the thread an hour before starting.
You could keep yourself updated by following the twitter as well - https://twitter.com/bisugoQM
>>
>>2127672
Okay, what I want to do is to make the story more fun. Hear me out, guys.
We are now acquainted with Eiji. We are getting in shape. We have an in with his group in Class Rep, and we have a burgeoning romance with Hanazawa, so we aren't a threat.

We are free, guys. We can do anything we want to, barring making the MC too miserable. Let's actually enjoy life, laugh at the harem antics, and maybe find love ourselves. The world could end at any time, but what's the use in worrying about it when it isn't in our control?
>>
>>2127672
I wonder how and why the [Main Character] became the center of this world.
Well, I guess we should just try to attain our own happiness, although it might be hard because of our awareness of how the world works.
>>
>>2127699
Maybe we could work something out if we figured out how we were reincarnated in the first place, I feel like there's a higher power than the mc
>>
>>2127701
What if we set it up so that the world ending would make the MC unhappy?
>>
Yeah im throwing in my vote for own happiness
Even our own world could just end at any time
Worrying about isnt going to fix anything and probably just make it worse
>>
>>2127707
I'm kind of curious what would happen if MC learned he was God, if we provide enough evidence to prove it
>>
>>2127710
Oh god we're in The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. And we're the Kyon.
>>
>>2127714
>I'm kind of curious what would happen if MC learned he was God, if we provide enough evidence to prove it
I'd rather not trust any teenager with the powers of god
>>
>>2127613
So... [meta character], eh? Does that mean I am now, too?

I won't get [DELETED] if I, say, make a harem of my own?

>every good manga has a spinoff series
>>
>>2127701
This. Don't go ridiculously out of the way to help the MC, but let's stop avoiding him like we've been doing. Let's hang with Hanazawa and try to learn more about her, join a club like our mom told us to, make some friends, keep running and try to get in shape and befriend the thick glasses running girl. Get a job at the arcade for some extra cash.
>>
>>2127711
I say we try to meta a solution out, we're not supposed to exist but we do, we may as well spend what time we have trying to make this world a better place
>>
>>2127719
Would you trust a kid to be the devil?
>>
>>2127734
...
I didn't really think about that
>>
>>2127734
Would you trust this kid to not end the world with a drill sword?
>>
>>2127743
no but it would be pretty sick
>>
Yamada-kun, denwa...
>>
Wait wait wait wait. Are we really going to trust the first awakened guy we come across? I can almost smell his scheming nature from here. Lets take his words with a grain- no handful of salt here.
>>
>>2127777
Only, apparently.
>>
>>2127777
Quads of truth
Wouldn't hurt to see if he is wrong besides sounding insane
>>
We are right now an easy target to manipulate in his eyes. A noob not knowing shit about how the world works yet.
>>
>>2127692
Supporting
>>
>>2127783
I guess we start running experiments to see if he's lying, apparently he can watch us so he might try to stop us or something if he's manipulating us
>>
>>2127780
We don't really know that yet do we? Might be someone else out there. Even if he is, we are mighty vulnerable right now. Think about it, a guy reliant on you to show him the ropes how easy would it be to manipulate him
>>
>>2127792
His meta powers could also be feeding him false info even if he seems to know a lot, I'm surprised he knew we were a neet in a previous life
>>
>>2127795
It just makes me even more paranoid. Creepy fucker has no concept of privacy
>>
>>2127798
He could also just be genre savy enough to know what isikai is and figured we were a neet
>>
>>2127798
If he was manipulating us, why would he encourage us to just find our own happiness? What good would that do him?

Unless he's hiding our true purpose in this world or something and everything will go to shit if we do nothing haha.
>>
>>2127804
He could just be wrong, there has to be a higher power than the mc for example, how else would we be here?
>>
>>2127801
Still a creepy fuck, would not trust him any further than we could throw him. I suggest we forge our own path, if the bro wants to make mc unhappy then he could do it himself rather than use us. Go be happy by ourselves, awaken others if we can, whatever.

>>2127801
The way he says it makes me think he hopes for us to prolong this world. Hes a scheming type I think.
>>
>>2127804
Thing is, you don't just casually drop the"world is gonna end" bomb for no reason
>>
So are we just going to independently investigate the rules of the setting or what?
>>
>>2127813
Sounds more sensible than blind trust to me
>>
>>2127808
That is a good point.
>>2127809
>>2127811
He did make it seem like a very selfish path to take if we were to pursue the preservation of the world, though, by taking away the happiness of another person. He did ask if were going to do "something noble with your life for once" and help a bro out. Again, not saying we shouldn't do independent research, but I really don't think there's much manipulation, unless he wants us to let the world end.
>>
>>2127815
So do we continue to try to awaken Hanazawa or do we go straight to the mc and see what he knows about the setting?
>>
>>2127816
Didn't he consider mobs to be people, won't they die when the world ends as well?
>>
>>2127816
Call me paranoid on this but what if he was using reverse psychology? I mean, dropping the world ending bomb and the telling us not to stop it... There was a saying, something along the lines of: people are more likely to do things you tell them not to?
>>
>>2127820
It does seem like the world ending is going to be an inevitability, and everyone dies in the end anyway. Hell, we died. Though, we're not really certain what happens when the world ends, right? Who knows if we all die, or if we all go to a different world, or whether the kid is just being an overdramatic bitch and the main story ends but life goes on basically like normal?

The most important thing, in both this quest and life in general, is to just enjoy our time together in this world. That's the most we could hope for, honestly. Everything comes to an end eventually, whether it be the happy highschool days, or life itself. Let's make the most of our time and help everyone and ourselves find happiness.
>>
There's a number of ways we could read it. I think we can kinda float the middle for a while. Play trickster a bit but not interfere too much.
>>
>>2127832
This I support
>>2127830
This also sounds like a the voice of reason compared to my paranioa or trusting the sketchy dude. You have my support
>>
>>2127829
Eh, I guess. But, in the end, his advice is just advice anyway, and we can either take it at face value, imagine that he's manipulating us, or whatever. It doesn't really matter what he advises us to do, since we'll do whatever the fuck we want anyway.
>>
>>2127830
I'd still do investigation on the side, I don't want everyone dying because we decided just to be happy
>>
>>2127840
Again, not saying we shouldn't learn everything we can. But, I'm just saying that we shouldn't fear the inevitable, and should instead just make the most of our time in helping others and ourselves. At least then, we'll all get happy endings.
>>
>>2127848
Fuck that, accepting inevitability isn't what anime preaches. If this world is ruled by tropes, then its vulnerable to [Subversion]
>>
I don't think its this guy's first rodeo. He's most likely been through another cycle.
>>
>>2127853
Accepting and not fearing the inevitable are two different things, but I do see your point. Honestly, I'm just here to make everyone happy. If we can extend this world's time so everyone gets to live happy full lives and die of old age, I'm all for it. If we can't, at least we enjoyed the ride, however brief it was.
>>
>>2127848
>>2127862
Cannot agree more. This guy said everything I was about to say
>>
>>2127862
Honestly if for mc-kun to be happy hundreds of people have to die, then I don't see anything wrong with keeping him unhappy
>>
>>2127853
Alot of very good anime are about acceptance as well. We arent an anime character, nor are the mobs faceless mobs. Death irl is inevitable, it comes when it wants to come. We should maybe treat the world as less of a anime world and a bit more realistic maybe?
>>
Do you think he learned stuff about us by looking into our dreams, that's neat right?
>>
>>2127865
But to keep him forever unhappy is a long time. He might even accept it and somehow become satisfied and end the world anyways, bro kun might be lying and the world might not end either
>>
I think we need to find out what the MC would need to achieve happiness, and only interfere if it's immoral. Otherwise, let it run its course.
>>
>>2127882
We should first find out if the world would really end in the first place.
>>
>>2127865
Ah, sacrificing the few for the greater good and all? I understand where you're coming from. But, see, the thing is, the MC will be happy eventually, unless we kill him or something, and I think that'd open up a whole other barrel of worms. One could argue that he's happy right now. But, in all honesty, we don't know for sure what happens when the world "ends".

Death is something that comes around to us all eventually, but happiness, happiness is something rarer, and doesn't happen to everyone. If we can give everyone a happy ending, then, I'd say, our goal was accomplished. Death doesn't necessarily have to be a sad thing. Sure, it'd be great to be able to live for a few more years, but think about it this way. Would you rather live a shorter, but happier and more fulfilled life, or a longer life only able to be lived through causing suffering for one poor human being? If we can give everyone a happy ending, then, whenever the end comes around, at least we'll have no regrets, and we'll all have lived happily.
>>
>>2127882
Maybe explain to as many people as possible that if the mc is satisfied the world ends and then let them make the decision. Ethically everyone should get to decide what happens not just us. The only problem with that is that if bro was telling the truth about not being able to awaken people then that's pretty much impossible. Maybe we could provide solid proof that we're in anime land that would be enough to convince people even if it technically doesn't [Awaken] them
>>
>>2127886
I mean who's says mc gets to kill everyone to be happy, also I'm interested in how you pointed out how the mc isn't currently "happy" since depending on what actually triggers the world to end we could come up with something
>>
>>2127888
>>2127886
Or all of this could be false and bro is lying. Our plotand priority will shift very drastically if this was the case.
>>
>>2127888
And say we did so. What then? Some would want him to be happy, others would want his life to be suffering, and either way, with all the fights over his happiness and shit, he'll be unhappy, and everyone in general will be unhappy. The world would continue to spin on, until the MC died unhappily, and everyone would be worse off, unhappy, and having been stuck in perpetual fighting until their final days.
>>
>>2127893
Hell, 'lil bro might even expect us to somehow try usurp the MC role by raising our own importance. I mean, how can the MC truelly be the MC if it ends up all revolving around us plotwise?
>>
Guys, lets figure out if we need to make the choice in the first place. If the world isnt ending then our actions and worries will be pointless
>>
>>2127895
If we usurp the mc we could keep ourselves eternally unhappy to keep everyone alive
>>
>>2127898
woah...
>>
>>2127898
Dayum son, sounds more convoluted than my anus
>>
>>2127892
I mean, the MC killing everyone isn't a requirement for him being happy, but him being happy would cause the world to "end", probably. Maybe I'm just tired and spewing out random bullshit, but I honestly think that happiness, for everyone, is both a more noble and a more meaningful goal. At least we'd have made the world a better place, and everyone would've enjoyed their time here. In face of the inevitable death that comes to us all anyway, whether of old age or the MC being happy, I think that happiness is the only thing that truly matters.

>>2127893
Research, research, research. We gotta look into this more.

>>2127895
>>2127898
Interesting ideas. Though, we have to define what [Happiness] even is.
>>
>>2127898
Aye. Bump MC's plot down to a subplot and travel eternally to keep to world alive. We'd still need to know what happens if an MC travels away from the settings location. Would it dissapear or would it go on without us?
>>
>>2127906
What I think we should do is turn the world into batlle shonen. These things just don't end.
>>
>>2127672
>"...You filthy, past life NEET?"
Even if he was just being Isekai genre savvy, this motherfucker can not be trusted.
>>
Angel was more appropriate.

The meta character is always the authors mouthpiece. See how he decided to verbally rip us a new one instead of... I dont know... anything a normal human being would do?

On top of that hes clearly pushing us in a direction. He WANTS us to interact with the MC. We should be asking WHY.

We also didnt ask him about why people are dropping in out of no where, and why they are gaining details when we look at them.

We know basically nothing else now actually. He just told us stuff we already expected.

Also. We should totally give him a Noogie.
>>
guys, the obvious end goal that presents itself is to become mad scientist and initiate an ascension to the higher planes. Or mushrooms.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evs0nFCufNM
>>
God damn, it's been a while since I've been on a crazy quest.
>>
I think it's pretty clear, we need to put MC in a coma.
>>
>>2128150
What if escaping his harem makes him happy.
>>
>>2128150
And then aliens invade Earth, turning this harem rom com into a mecha series?
>>
>guy calls himself "devil"
>trusting anything he says
>>
>>2127902
>>2128150
What if we make him believe he should always soar higher?
I mean, he could definitely be happy by getting a girlfriend, but wouldn't marrying her be something to be more happy about? And then there's children, seeing them graduate and getting on with their lives. We should make mc live until he dies of old age.
I guess it's an option but a risky one.
>>
>>2128214
>Turn MC into Goku
>Be stuck in Dragonball for eternity
Not sure about this desu
>>
>>2128204
I think the fuckboy is just another awakened trying to meme it up but I could be wrong. Either way I'd rather have our character do his own thing than having him interject in some MC's harem or whatever.
>>
>>2128204
>Calls us a sociopath for not seeing mobs as full humans
>Chastises us as a loser NEET neet should we bother to try to stop the world from ending because one asshole wants to play out a harem anime to achieve happiness
what does he mean by this?
>>
>>2128526
Or are you actually going to support the harem's fulfillment, and do something noble with your life for once..."
He grips your shoulder strongly. It hurts. You look at him. He has an evil smile on.

"...You filthy, past life NEET?"

Sounds more like he's pushing us to fulfill the harem.
>>
>>2128600
Or... does he perhaps want us to join it?
>>
