Strange not because of the sensation. Not at all, indeed you find it pleasant. The thing that’s causing you discomfort, though, is the giver of said lap pillow.

Hikaru Ryou, your class rep, the girl who asked for your help in conquering her love, is sleeping in your bed while sitting upright, giving you a lap pillow.

“...Class rep…”

>Wake her up
>Don’t disturb her sleep...

>>2140885
>>Wake her up
Sorry not sorry, this can go SO wrong if we let her sleep.

>>2140885
>>Wake her up

>>2140885
>Wake her up

>>2140885
>>Wake her up
Hey Boss, you've kind of got me in a compromising position here.

>>2140885
>Wake her up

>>2140885
>Wake her up

>>2140885
>wake her up

>>2140883
Make sure that we are not using her lap as a pillow.

>>2140885
>Wake her up.

Yeah, no.

>>2140885
Jump up screaming
"HOW THE FUCK DID YOU BREAK INTO MY HOUSE CRAZY LADY AND WHY IS YOUR LAP SO SOFT!?"
Then collapse as our ribs tell us to shut the fuck up

>>2140902
>>2140883
>Wake her up
Forgot to add choice

>>2140885
This is bad. You don’t know how you got into this situation, but if this has happened by accident, this could be embarrassing for both parties involved.

So you reach out and tap her by the shoulder, and call her--

>Class Rep
>Hikaru-san
>...Ryou?

>>2140907
>Class Rep

>>2140907
>Class Rep

>>2140907
>Class Rep

>>2140907
>Boss

>>2140907
>Hikaru-san

>>2140907
>Class Rep

Distance ourselves like a motherfucker.

>>2140907
>>Class Rep

>>2140907
>...Ryou?

Give her the good ole Double team with the fingers.

>>2140907
>>...Ryou?

>>2140907
Switching to Ryou since Boss won't win, lol

>>2140907
>Class Rep

I'm not quite sure what everyone's trying to do here now. I'm guessing this is one of those just wants to watch the world burn kind of things?

>>2140927
Nah I just want to call her by her actual name, like friends would.

since my write in didn't win

>>2140907
“Oi, class rep,” You nudge her shoulder, trying to wake her up. She stirs, but still her eyes don’t open.

She runs a hand through your hair, as if trying to figure out what object is laying on her legs. Her fingers are thorough and gentle, and you find yourself blushing without meaning to.

“...Eiji…?”

You find her whispering half asleep.

>”...Yes?”
>”Sorry to disappoint.”
>Write in

>>2140934
>>”Sorry to disappoint.”

>>2140934
>”Sorry to disappoint.”
What are you doing?

>>2140907
>Class Rep

>>2140934
>>”Sorry to disappoint.”

>>2140934
>”Sorry to disappoint.”

>>2140934
“Sorry to disappoint.”

>>2140934
>Fuck you doing in my house and fuck you doing with my head in your lap, on my bed?

>>2140934
>”Sorry to disappoint.”

>>2140934
>Do you really think Eiji would be in my house?

>>2140934
>Rep, starting to worry here.

>>2140934
>Oh, am I not good enough?

>>2140934
You chuckle as an old memory is brought up to mind.

“Sorry to disappoint, class rep.”

Finally, class rep opens her eyes, but only halfway.

“...What, it’s just Yamada…”
“Who else could it be? You’re in my house, you know.”
“Shut up. It’s way too early…”
“It’s past 1 in the afternoon…”

Well, at least she’s somewhat awake. Ask her--

>What’s with the lap pillow
>What she’s doing in your house
>Write in

>>2140934
>>”...Yes?”

>>2140957
>What she’s doing in your house

>>2140957

>>What she’s doing in your house

>What’s with the lap pillow
>What she’s doing in your house

“Class rep, what’s with the lap pillow anyway? Did you mistake me for someone else or something?”

You see her stretch the tips of her toes, but she still refuses to open her eyes.

“It’s your dad’s idea...honestly...when I got here, you were asleep, and he said something about lap pillows boosting healing or something stupid like that…”
“And you went along with him?”
“It’s just a lap pillow, so I don’t particularly care. You don’t like it, Yamada?”
“It’s not that I don’t. In fact it’s quite nice. It’s just that, you and Eiji and all…”

“Like I said, it’s just a lap pillow...geez, it’s not like I’m doing this for you as a special service or anything, idiot…”

You smile. What’s with the lifeless, tsundere-esque response?

You decide to make full use of the opportunity and settle down again on her lap. It’s not like you could lift yourself up away from her even if you wanted to. Your abdomen is no longer swelling, but movement is still a pain.

“By the way, class rep.”
“Yes?”

“What are you doing in my house? And in the middle of the afternoon as well. Shouldn’t you be in school?”

Silence. Then you see her open her eyes. She has a sour expression on her face.

She’s got the school uniform on, so that means she went to school, right?
Something definitely happened. Hikaru looks hesitant to say.

>Press her

“Class rep? Did something happen?”
She squirms underneath you, but in the end sighs in defeat.

“...I got suspended.”
“...What?”

Despite the shocking statement, she...looks irritated, but not as much as you thought she would be.

“How did you get suspended, class rep?”
“Isn’t it obvious? I got into a fight with Fumi.”
“With her?!” Isn’t class rep the one telling you to not get into trouble with Nakahara? “Why did you fight?”

She looks at you and giggles, while sticking her tongue out.
“Why do you think? It’s cause she beat up my protector, idiot.”

>Are you hurt?
>Is Nakahara hurt?
>You didn’t have to do that.
>Write in

>>2141062
>Flick her nose
>I won my fight with her, You shouldn't have.

So, you can call it selfish if you want, but I do feel like I have to say it. I feel like there's been several situations so far in this Quest where a write-in got the majority votes option, and was either ignored or downplayed. I understand that there's some right ends that were just infeasible, but a few like this recent one seems to have been brushed over, and the spirit of the write-in was ignored.

I'm not going to go so far as to accuse railroading just yet, but I am concerned about how valid write-ins actually are when they don't seem to have any tangible effect on the plot. We have to walk on a branching, yet explicit path, then don't give us the option to walk off that path.

curious, could you point out these instances? I try to follow majority votes as much as possible, the only instances I couldn't is when I'm in the middle of writing and the vote shifts to another choice. And even that has happened only once so far, iirc.
If a write in wins the majority vote then I follow that. But if you think there are instances where I've glossed them over, please do send it to me so I may QM for you guys better

>>2141062
>Are you hurt?
And >>2141066

>>2141067
Yeah. Handling unexpected player input well is probably what seperates the great QMs from the rest, at least for me.

>>2141066
This m8

>>2141081
I like this combination.

>>2141087
Well, the most recent being >>2140972 where the general implication was an expression of unease and emotional uncomfort with the situation due to him knowing of her plans for Eiji. This was basically entirely ignored in favor of making him okay with the strange mixed messages she's giving off in this situation. As we stated before, our entire idea was to kind of distance ourselves from her giving all these mixed signals and laying things straight that we had no romantic interest in her *at this time*, and the situations that she keeps pulling us into blur the lines heavily- it's becoming unclear due to her actions whether she likes us or Eiji, and considering our own situation, we didn't want to risk issues.

There's more than this, but I'm on mobile and it takes awhile to look up, so if I'm late in presenting other examples, it may be on another ID.

>>2141087
Not the same guy, but announcing when the voting is closed and you're starting to write would probably help a bit.

>>2141109
Ah, thanks for that. I completely glossed over this one. I was counting off the votes and saw >Both and stopped there. I will keep better attention to posts like this in the future.
>>2141112
I think I'll start doing this now, thanks.

>>2141062
>Write in
>Are you hurt?

You reach over…
And flick her in the nose.

“Ow.”
“Who’s the idiot now, class rep? I wasn’t beat up. It was a fight, an actual fight.”
“Is that so? Then why is one of the combatants bed-ridden and unable to stand, while the other was still able to duel with me earlier today?”
“...Geh.”

“Still,” she smiles and leans back on the wall. “Maybe I won this time because you were able to weaken her yesterday. Though, I don’t know about that.” A devilish smile grows on Hikaru. “After all, she’s never won against me.”

Something tells you that the bad blood between the Class Rep and Nakahara runs deeper than you initially thought…

“Are you ok though, class rep? From my limited experience, she’s one tough opponent to fight.”
“That’s because you don’t know how she operates yet. She relies on dirty tactics to get the upper hand on you.”
“How did you beat her then?”
She shrugs. “Like I always do. If you move faster than her, then you always win.”

Interesting, you think. Is class rep a martial artist, perhaps?

“By the way, since we’re finally alone together…”
Hikaru puts her hand around your head, and--

“Let’s talk about Eiji.”

Lifts you off her lap.

>cont’d

>>2141124
You are sitting, laying on the wall once again, while Hikaru is sitting on the swivel chair. Her arms are crossed. She looks like business.

“Yamada. This is the perfect opportunity for you to get closer to Eiji now that I’m suspended. Make full use of the days that I’m out to gather info and get closer to him. This is a rare opportunity.”

>How is it a better opportunity when you’re not around?

Writing.

>>2141135
>>How is it a better opportunity when you’re not around?
Also, is Nakahara ok? You didn't hospitalize her did you?

>>2141135
>How is it a better opportunity when you’re not around?

“Simple. We’re too close.”
“...You have to be a bit more specific than that, class rep.”

“Kobayashi and Rinko-chan and Rei will think something’s up if you suddenly start intruding into Eiji’s social circle and I’m more open to it than they are. If you’re already a part of his circle by the time my suspension is over, then I could pretend like there’s nothing I could’ve done to stop it.”

“So they have no idea we have had interactions like this?”
“As far as I know, no. Only Eiji seems to have paid attention.”

You nod. Your current mission, then, is to try to position yourself as some sort of friend character to the MC. That’s a bit beyond your [Mob] directive, but…

[Erasure].

Those words pop up in your mind once again. Is it a real thing, or a concept you made up in your mind? You don’t know.

So for now, you decide to do this mission--

>Confidently. Cement yourself as the friend with head held high.
>Covertly. Be Eiji’s friend, yet stay in the shadows.

>>2141168
>Covertly. Be Eiji’s friend, yet stay in the shadows.

>>2141168
>Covertly. Be Eiji’s friend, yet stay in the shadows.

>Confidently. Cement yourself as the friend with head held high.
Also I don't think class rep is going to win Eiji over by forcing herself to become the kind of person Eiji says he likes

>>2141168
>Covertly. Be Eiji’s friend, yet stay in the shadows

>>2141168
>>Covertly. Be Eiji’s friend, yet stay in the shadows.

>>2141168
>Confidently. Cement yourself as the friend with head held high.
He asked us to be his friend and this is his world.

>>2141168
>Covertly. Be Eiji’s friend, yet stay in the shadows

We're going to be that guy that shows up every now and again and gives some random words of wisdom but otherwise doesn't appear to show up anywhere.

>>2141168
>Covertly. Be Eiji’s friend, yet stay in the shadows.

>>2141175
I don't either.

>>2141168
>>Confidently. Cement yourself as the friend with head held high.

>>2141175
I've got the same thoughts.

>>2141188
We should probably tell class rep this

>>2141192
We should, but there was no write-in option.

>>2141168
>Covertly. Be Eiji’s friend, yet stay in the shadows

>>2141168
>>Covertly. Be Eiji’s friend, yet stay in the shadows.

>>2141168

>Covertly. Be Eiji’s friend, yet stay in the shadows

But also we should tell her this

>>2141175
>Also I don't think class rep is going to win Eiji over by forcing herself to become the kind of person Eiji says he likes

>>2141196
Write in anyway.

>>2141196
Wasn't that just because BSG forgot?

>>2141175
I figure we'll have a talk with her later spouting some cliche along the lines of "If he can't love her for who she is he doesn't deserve her."

>>2141168
>Covertly. Be Eiji’s friend, yet stay in the shadows.

>>2141196
It'll have more impact when we know them both better than we do now.

>>2141204
It's less that she deserves to be loved for who she is and more that I don't think eiji actually knows what he wants in a girl

>>2141208
I think we should get this out of the way now so that class rep understands, we should still befriend Eiji though

>>2141168
>Covertly wins
Writing
BTW even if I don't explicitly ask for write ins it doesn't mean I won't consider it. If it's interesting, like this one, then I 'll include it

Funny question, would it be at all possible for our PC to play this song during the inevitable talent show arc?

>>2141232

>>2141214
You decide to become Eiji’s friend covertly.

You still don’t know if acting too out of character as a [Mob] will lead to this so called [Erasure], but the best option would be to play it safe. Do only the necessary contact, then keep on playing the mob character. This much should be fine, right?

“Alright, class rep. I won’t go out of my way and become someone like Nakamura-san’s friend or whatever, but I will try to do the things you want.”
She smiles and nods. “I appreciate it, Yamada.”

“However, Hikaru-san,” you face her, and make sure your tone is serious. “What is the point of doing all...this? You find out Nakamura-san’s taste, his interests, then...what? You transform yourself to become the ideal girl to him?”

Her face is grim, but she faces you determined. “Maybe. I don’t really know yet myself. But I know, as I am now, he won’t pick me above the others. Yeah, I think I could battle with Kobayashi’s beauty, but it comes to other points...like femininity, cuteness, fun memories together…”

>But then he won’t really love *you*.
>I’m sure he likes you just as you are right now.
>Write in

And even then I don't think Eiji actually knows what he wants

If this is supposed to be some sort of brand Challenge, and if nobody else has asked about yet, then don't you think that by being the first you'd have a bit of an advantage since it won't be as tiresome? He who strikes first after all. And even if he says no... I just feel like it would be better to know now and save yourself all the heartbreak and effort of becoming someone you aren't. If he doesn't like you for you, then I don't I think you should worry about him so much. There's always other men. Who knows, some might be better. Some probably are better. But you never know that just pining for one person.

Well, biscuits. That's what I get for not checking faster. I'll probably be on a different ID next response.

>>2141242
>But then he won’t really love *you*.
“Won’t he fall in love with a lie, if you fabricate yourself as someone catered to Eiji’s tastes? The person he’ll fall in love with is not Hikaru Ryou, but a submissive version of her.”

She looks conflicted about all this, but it looks like she’ll not back down.
“Then what do you think I should do, Yamada?! Keep on waiting, doing nothing, then regret in the end that I just stood there hoping he’ll pick me?!”

Her fists are balled on her lap, and she’s looking down on the floor. “...I know what I’m doing is underhanded. And in the end, I might regret this all the more. But...I don’t know what to do. This is the first time I’ve ever felt like this. Liking someone. I just don’t think anyone would like a violent girl like me.”

I get you're friends, but if you sincerely think that they'll hate you because you wanted love, and they do...I dunno, I'm not sure if I'd call them good friends.

And if he says no...I can't think that you'd feel happier if you could only win him by wearing a mask every day of your life.

The best thing she can do is just confess her romantic feelings. High school might seem like the end of the world right now, and worst case scenario he rejects her feelings.

If you confess to him right now, you would know his true feelings about you then. Sure, you might get rejected and lose your friends...but that’s the risk that you have to take.”

She doesn’t reply. It looks like she’s shutting you off. Nothing will get through her. You almost forgot that, despite her overall maturity and confidence, she is still just a teenage girl.

You’ll just have to watch over her for now.

Tick, tick, tick, tick.

The hands of the alarm clock are the only noise that occupies the space between you. The atmosphere is awkward. It looks like it’s up to you to break the silence.

Good taste

>>2141362
We need to build up her own confidence. We want to know that she is beautiful in her own way and that is what we are doing. Girl must stop her own delusion that she isnt unlikable.

Not a confession btw.

>>2141367
ah, finally, a man of taste

>>2141337
“I’m sorry if it looks like I’m sticking my nose into your business too much...but it’s just because the Hikaru Ryou I know is a wonderful person. And I want the best for her. It’s the truth.”

She stares at you for a moment, before breaking into a nice laughter.

“What the hell is that, Yamada? Dammit, you’re making Nee-san blush you know.”
You just grin. At least she’s smiling now.

“So,” with the atmosphere lighter than it was a moment ago, you decide to go to a different topic. “Have you had lunch yet, class rep?”
“I haven’t...oh right, neither have you, huh?”
“Don’t worry, we could ask dad to cook something up.”
“Ah, about that,” Hikaru waves your suggestion off. “Your dad’s out doing some errands. It’s just the two of us right now.”

“...Seriously, what is it with you girls and being ok alone with me…”
“‘Girls’?” Hikaru looks confused at first but shakes it off. “Well, whatever. I could cook something up for you.”

She stands up from her seat, and skips downwards to the kitchen.

So, the 1 of the top 2 beauties is cooking your lunch. You wonder how many men will kill you to be in your position right now.

>cont’d

>>2141388
“...Sorry, Yamada…”
“Don’t worry about it.”
“I’ll pay for the damages…”
“I said don’t worry about it, class rep.”

After rushing downstairs due to the clatter of consecutive pots and pans falling to the floor, you discover the painful fact that class rep cannot cook at all.
You find the both of you hunched over Hikaru’s bentou, as you split the lunch box in between the two of you.

“No way is this enough for a boy like you, Yamada-kun…”
“I said it’s fine. If the food’s delicious, then it doesn’t matter how much there is.”

She glances up at you, but since you’re not really voicing any complaints, she continues eating.
“Hey, Yamada. Do you think Eiji would prefer a girl that could cook?”
“Well, I wouldn’t know...but boys generally like that kind of stuff. And it wouldn’t hurt to learn it right? It’s a nice life skill to have.”


You eat together once more in silence. Then,
“Hey, Yamada.”
“Mm?”
“Could you teach me how to cook?”

>Yes
>No

>>2141404
>Yes

>>2141404
>>Yes

>>2141404
>Yes

>>2141404
>>Yes
I am..... Concerned.

>>2141404
>Yes

>>2141404
>Yes

If it's terrible we'll tell her. We're here to help her improve, not spare her feelings.

>>2141404
>Yes

>>2141404
Yes

>>2141404
>Yes
What could go wrong.

>>2141404
>>Yes

>Don't expect me to hold back, though! We'll get you cooking great food in no time!

>>2141404
>>Yes

>>2141404
>Yes
Writing.

>>2141422
“Well, I’m not a good a cook as my dad...but yeah, I can’t just refuse class rep asking for help, right?”

She nods. “Alright.” She then continues eating.

Well, that’s settled. You’ve decided to teach Hikaru how to cook.

-------

Since climbing back to your room is a pain, and there’s nothing to do there anyway, you decide to spend the rest of the time in the living room, watching television.
Hikaru, on the other hand, has donned an apron and tied her hair back. After cleaning up the mess in the kitchen, you somehow found her holding the vacuum and feather duster.

Another thing you learned about the class rep: she’s a clean freak.

“Class rep, please, I’ll feel bad…”
“I said don't worry about it! This is no problem at all,” she says while wiping down the coffee table. “Cleaning is a meditative thing for me. Not to mention, your house is pretty clean already.”
“That’s cause dad is essentially a freeter and a house husband…”

So in the end, you let her clean up the house a little. You feel a bit guilty but, well, if she says she likes it…

After a while, she plops down on the couch beside you.
“Whoo, that was quite the exercise.”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“No problem.”

She watches TV with you for a bit. Then she turns to look at you.

“Hey, Yamada.”
“Mm?”
“Sitting like this...aren't we kind of like newlyweds?”

>Kind of, yeah.
>Deny, deny, DENY

>>2141456

>Kind of, yeah. Its nice

>>2141456
>No. We're odd friends watching TV. Why even say that?

There's really no need to be weird about it. It's whrn you start denying it so hard it gets awkward.

It's weird when she constantly keeps saying half romantic shit towards someone when she's constantly saying she's attracted to someone else. It's offputting and confusing.

I'm more confused by her actions and general flirtiness towards us. If she's attracted to the MC, then cool. If she's attracted to us, cool. I just can't for the life of me encourage these advances while she supposedly wants our help with Brick-kun.

>>2141486
We Toradora now...

>>2141502
Yeah, that's my issue. I want to know what the hell's going on with her, and if possible, I want to ask her point blank next chance we get.

>>2141502
Don't you mean Lead-kun

>>2141499
Re-count the votes.
Deny wins.

>>2141502
This. It's one of the only things keeping her from best girl status Besides Hazanawa

>>2141486
I'm betting her interest in MC is fake and forced by the worlds harem system. Also that the things she dislikes about him are genuine but overpowered by arbitrary doki doki.

Although thinking about it, I've just come to a disturbing possibility.

We're her 'backup'. She's so paranoid that she won't get him that she's forming a nascient attraction to us for when he 'inevitably' rejects her advances- she'll have someone else whom she's already mentally primed to like.

I don't even think she's doing it consciously, but I DO think it needs to be pointed out and that we aren't going to be someone's romantic safety net.

>>2141510
Not by my count

>>2141517
God damn you're on the ball, anon.

We're her fucking rebound before she even confesses.

Fuck.

>>2141510
I'm counting 9 against 5 anon

>>2141524
>>2141461
This is being counted towards deny it, because it's in the same idea.
If you include it and all the ones supporting it, deny is at 10.

>>2141456
>>Kind of, yeah.

>>2141524
>>2141528
I DID intend it towards being a very specific Deny, but a Deny nonetheless.

>>2141530
I should've specified, though, and I'm sorry for not doing that.

i'm including write in in the follow up, as stated here >>2141499

>>>>>i mean kind of yeah, but why would you ask something like that?

>>2141541

The write in goes hand-in-hand with Deny. Don't be fags about this shit.

>>2141456
“Kind of, yeah.”
“Mmhmm.”
“But we’re not.”
“That’s right.”
“Because we’re only friends. Sitting together. Watching television.”
“That’s right indeed.”
“But the television is on mute.”
“I noticed.”
“Maybe I should unmute it. So we could properly watch the television.”
“Yes, maybe you should.”
“Yeah, I will.”

But your finger isn’t moving on the remote. Instead you’re captivated by her gaze, by how the apron suits her very well, and how nice her lilac hair looks tied back.
She is stunning.
This is bad.
This is a bad atmosphere.
You pray for something to break it, before irreversible things might happ--

“Ah. Am I interrupting something?”

Your prayer is answered…

But...

>cont’d

Thanks a lot, assholes.

>>2141556
god damn it bsg you fucking speed demon of a writer

>>2141561
Calm down. There's nothing to get worked up about.

>>2141561
It all comes tumbling down

>>2141556
FUCK NO HANAZAWA!!

>>2141556
You're interrupting our postcoital television session. Come back later asshat.

>>2141556
Class rep a shit

This is what we've been trying to avoid, and why I move super hard against it. BSG is very much the 'take a mile' kinda QM where he extrapolates shit to the nth degree. Hence, the only recourse is to hard pivot away from close interaction her, because otherwise we will fall for her via QM fiat.

>>2141580
I should note again: I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST GIVING REP A CHANCE.

But only AFTER she's stopped moving on Eiji, and we know where we stand with Hanazawa. We don't need love triangles or squares or any of that shit.

>>2141556
The gaze between you two breaks. Hikaru stares at the person who spoke behind you.

Your prayer is answered…

She stands up, wide eyed. She's trembling.

“Eiji…”

But…

Eiji stands at the doorway. He has a smile on, but it’s shy and awkward.

“Did I catch you two in a bad time?”

He scratches his head, laughing uncomfortably.
By his side, Hanazawa stands, looking at you.

Just what kind of devil answered your prayers?

(TO BE CONT’D)

>>2141580
I like this quest and BSG, but I have to agree with you here.

>>2141585
Now how the fuck does the MC know where the fuck we live

>>2141580
BAE QUEST ALL OVER AGAIN!!

THANK YOU ASSHATS!!

ALL MY FUCKING REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>2141590
Hey, I was trying to avoid this.

>>2141589
More importantly, why does no one ever knock?

Okay
Now we can fill hanazawa in on the situation and hopefully use her as an ally in getting this plot thread wrapped up

>>2141585
>>2141589

How in the everliving dickshits does everyone know where we live

i suspect some combination of our brother and our father

Done. Done. I am fucking done. You worst fetish, NTR-loving shits can have this game.

>>2141585
>Male breaks into our house now

Fucking, I want us to tell him yes. It is because we didn't make food for the entire fucking school

We've been messing up the harem system by raising flags and it's correcting itself I imagine.

We should murder Eiji just to see what happens.

>>2141595
It's not ntr if nothings has happened yet.

>>2141598

Fuck, we need this as a write-in next time.

>>2141595
anon, what about anything that just happened has to do with ntr?

FUCK quest drop

thank you anons you ruin it

>>2141599
That's just psychopathic

>>2141608
>dropping out before the fat lady stops singing
The ride is not over yet anon

>>2141603
>>2141607
He's just being overly emotional.

>>2141610
I don't like that the world we live in works to please him. We should be trying to fix it instead of scurrying in the background. Big balls.

Fucking REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I dunno if anyone will remember to do it, but. Next run:

I have a write in already prepped. But in case I don't get there in time, it's basically this:

>"Nope. Because nothing happened. In fact, nothing's ever happened, and I never wanted anything TO happen, but things keep getting weird. So I'm gonna come clean right now.

>Eiji, Class Rep likes you. Like, a ton. Like, a TON. She wants to go out with you really badly, but never worked up the nerve to ask.

>Hanazawa, she's like this because she wanted my help in getting Eiji to like her, and she just came to say hi because I agreed and we were going to work some stuff out. She's dressed like she is because I agreed to teach her how to cook, and she offered to clean a bit as thanks. I know you get mad, but don't.

>Class Rep, I think you're better than you are, but I can't keep ruining my own life for your sake; not when something like this happened. Everything else, I'm sorry, is up to you. I'm gonna head out for a half-hour or so, and I hope everyone has come to terms with everything by the time I get back.

>At this point, we need to leave and go out for a fucking jog. And if Jogger friend shows up, we politely but pointedly tell her we need some alone time today.

We can fix this if we get our shit together

>>2141599
>We should murder Eiji just to see what happens.
Nigga you want to get us [erased] or something?

>>2141362
This man was a prophet

>>2141623
We could always pretend that we were asking her for relationship advice then leave them alone for a bit while we walk.
then wonder why we're leaving if the house is ours

>>2141629
We failed to hear his warnings, and now Babylon is falling around us.

>>2141630
Nope. No pretending, no lies, no nothing.

We come clean so that the risk of any misunderstandings is a FLAT ZERO.

>>2141626
What part of the quest or background info did I miss that makes everyone think we can easily get erased. I feel kind of out of the loop.

>>2141632
We can't fuck class rep over by letting Eiji know about her feelings, we can tell hanazawa though

I'm fucking loving this shit

Man, shit just hit the fan so hard in this quest that some broke through the roof going up. But agreeing with >>2141632 , the Truth could be the best solution here. Bonehead MC gets Class Helper waifu, we don't get Hana mad at us, and we fulfill our dying wish. NOTHING could go wrong here

>>2141635
Little bro implied something like that happening if we mess with the world too much
