Good and evil will be reversed due to different perspectives.
Now, I’m tired enough to have philosophical thoughts run through my head that I usually don’t even think about.
My mental strength continues to be weakened… I have been expressionless for several hours.
I really want to lie down on the bed immediately and spend time on my favorite manga and animation. Or play a more masculine game.
As a person who has already entered society, I’m playing an Otome game with a pair of dead fish eyes.
Also known as a dating sim, a game that is similar but opposite to the Galgame played by men.
The main character is a girl. Because the target of the strategy is a man, it is an otome game. On the contrary, if the protagonist is a boy and the target of the strategy is a woman, then it is Galgame.
Yep, that’s not the kind of game a grown man should be playing in broad daylight during his holidays.
If I liked Otome games then it’s a different story, but I like Galgames.
“Why do I have to start raising the bastard’s favorability early in the morning?”
Even seeing the cheeks of the male character turn red in the picture doesn’t make me happy.
The strategy characters that appear in the game are basically all beautiful.
Debut characters designed by popular illustrators and dubbed by famous voice actors. If these were female characters…or a Galgame, I would be very happy, but hearing the sweet voice of a male, I can’t be happy at all!
I blankly turned my gaze to the nearby cell phone.
Because I have no motivation at all, I have to rely on strategy information to play.
I looked at the shining screen, and after selecting the option, the two-dimensional character moved and posed with the sound of a notification to increase the favorability.
She poses with her hair brushed up, and her cheeks are slightly flushed.
“You are not like those ordinary girls. Say your name.”
The other party was the Crown Prince—a character who was set to be the target of a raid in the game, but also a very popular male character in the academy. What I’m seeing now is the scene where the main character meets the crown prince by chance and treats him as an ordinary person because she doesn’t know that he is the crown prince.
Since I played the second week, I can’t say anything about this scene of meeting for the first time, except complaining.
“It’s a lie. Someone who doesn’t know the crown prince of her own country is definitely lying. A scheming bitch. The protagonist is a scheming bitch.”
The crown prince didn’t seem to see the protagonist’s scheming attitude.
“…You’re blushing and you’re happy. What a blind guy.”
My rare weekend off was all wasted on Otome games.
It’s Sunday noon. I’ve been playing this otome game since Saturday. Obviously, I’ve been really busy recently, and it’s really been a long time since I’ve had a weekend off.
At this time, an electronic tone came from my phone.
After I picked up my phone to check, I found out that it was a message with pictures from my older sister.
“I am traveling overseas with friends~”
…After seeing my older sister’s smile, I immediately felt furious.
In the pictures there are pictures of my older sister having fun with her friends at the beach or in a hotel.
I responded right away.
“Are you kidding me! Damn you, didn’t you say you were very busy, so you forcibly threw the game to me!”
I’m currently playing my older sister’s otome game.
On a Saturday morning, my older sister who was a college student living in my hometown suddenly visited my room where I lived alone.
Just when I thought it was a strange thing, she forcibly threw the game at me.
She said with a smile on her face: “Brother, you seem to be very idle, so I will allow you to get an all-pass on this.”
All-pass means Complete. Pictures, animations, scenes, etc., as long as you have seen it in the game, you can look back no matter how many times. And she was telling me to complete all of that.
You bastard, go play by yourself! Of course I said so.
——But my sister replied.
“Huh? Is it really okay to say this kind of thing? After I go back, I won’t clear up the misunderstandings of my mother and the others. I can buy souvenirs, so I will ask you to pass it~. ※If I don’t have a pass before I come back, I will put something worse in your room. To my lovely brother.”
I yelled, fighting the urge to slam my phone to the floor as I read the increasingly agitating messages.
“Damn it!!”
I also want to refuse this kind of thing.
However, my sister who lives in my hometown – she has a lot of her own books hidden in my room. They’re all the kind of books that rotten girls like. Then my mother found those things while cleaning and misunderstood that I had that kind of hobby.
I also wanted to clear up the misunderstanding, but the more I opened my mouth to explain—the more I was suspected.
…a nightmare.
Whether it was the matter of being misunderstood or knowing that my older sister was a rotten girl, it was all a nightmare.
Then, it should be said that it was bad luck or something else… My sister is more trusted by my parents than me. Her appearance is also very good in the eyes of my parents, and her grades are also excellent. She is often said to be smart and gentle.
In fact, she is good at pretending to be good, and always makes me suffer.
As can also be seen from her playing Otome game, the character of my older sister can be said to be rotten.
That guy has concealed her hobbies, no matter how much I defend myself in front of my parents, they will only believe what my sister says.
I almost cried when I was worried about my mother calling. By the way, this is also the moment when I remember in my heart that I want to take revenge on my sister.
Resisting the urge to go berserk, I turned my gaze back to the monitor screen.
I picked up the controller again, only thinking about clearing the game to clear up the misunderstanding. Although very unwilling but my parents only trusted my older sister.
Then the older sister put the condition of clearing the game 100%, and only after I fulfilled it would she help me solve the misunderstanding.
…I was left with the cruel path of clearing the Otome game 100%.
It is very heartwarming that the old girl is quite eloquent. On Saturday morning, on the basis of overthrowing my rebuttal, she also asked me for funds for the trip-that is, she confiscated my pocket money. It was too embarrassing for me to give her money under threat.
Obviously, even if I fought seriously, I have no chance of winning.
However, I must take revenge. While increasing the favorability of the jerk on screen, I’m also working on a plan.
“I definitely want you to regret offending me.”
My sister has been shrewd since young.
She also knows that she is cute, how should I put it, she and I are two completely opposite existences. The weak point of that guy probably is that she has the hobby of rotten girls which she hides from the people around her.
After continuing the game with a feeling of unwillingness, I frowned again.
“…Stuck here every time.”
The otome game my sister threw me.
Since this is an otome game made with the goal of being big, the requirement for completion was ridiculously high. Since my sister also aimed to be an illustration and a voice actor, she immediately bought the first limited edition.
However, the problem was that this is obviously an otome game, but it still had elements of role-playing games, and even strategic simulation elements were added.
As expected, it was a work produced by a manufacturer that had only worked on male-oriented games so far, and it was slightly biased.
This stage of the game was a fantasy world of sword and sorcery.
This was a world where people lived on islands floating in the sky.
I thought this was a world where there were royal families and nobles, and the level of civilization was not high, but it turned out to be a world where airships were flying all over the sky, and knights were fighting in battles wearing armor that looked like power suits.
In this world, the protagonist attends a noble academy.
The protagonist herself is a girl from the countryside with a sense of simplicity. Although she is not a noble but a commoner, she is a special student who is specially allowed to enroll.
Because of her special position, she was bullied by some noble girls in the academy. On the other hand, she met princes or heirs of nobles in this kind of academy, and at the same time, she was involved in various incidents, and even had a connection with the war.
All in all, this was the first school love game packed with adventure and war.
At the same time, this was a “very convenient world for women”.
My older sister also wanted to clear the level on her own at the beginning, but it seemed that she was not very good at playing with masculine elements anyway, so she gave up.
Thanks to this I was in a situation where I had to work hard. What did you actually say, “Brother, you have played a lot of these games, it must be very easy?”…
Well, it’s true that I like games, but even I find this difficulty difficult.
“Speaking of which, no one would pursue such elements in an otome game.”
While complaining, I looked at the screen and operated the controller.
Airship troops lined up on the screen.
Ship-shaped, rugby-shaped… all kinds of airships were facing each other.
The battlefield used a hexagonal coordinate grid line, and the ship of one’s own side was moved in a turn-based system. If you attack after moving, the airship will fire the cannons lined up on its side at once, and the knights in armor will fly in the air and attack the enemy, but——
“Fuck it! What the hell is the enemy’s ability to activate at that time! It’s ridiculously difficult! Make it easier for me to clear the level.”
If the enemy launched some special skills, and the attacking party may suffer a large amount of damage instead.
Conversely, when one’s own party is attacked, it will receive the enemy’s attack face-to-face, and then sink… Obviously, it also had skills and abilities far superior to the enemy, but the random element was too strong. In the final analysis, even if you have won the advantageous position and taken the most appropriate action in a strategy game, it will be subverted by random elements.
No wonder my sister gave up directly.
“Ah, it happened.”
The airship that could never be sunk—the airship on which His Highness the Crown Prince was riding was bombed and sunk.
The words GameOver appeared on the screen.
“It’s coming again! It’s too outrageous to lose after watching the strategy game!”
I really want to go all out and say to my sister, “You’d better give up the full pass.” Or “Go to the Internet to download the clearance data.”… But this game has a setting that will call the protagonist’s name after winning. So my sister put her own name in.
She seemed to want popular voice actors to call her own name softly…
Therefore, the method of downloading customs clearance data could not solve the problem.
I had to support myself.
“This is the first time! Your Royal Highness, you are sinking too fast! Do you want that? Do you want my krypton gold? Do you want me krypton gold so much?”
No wonder it was a stand-alone game, but there were all kinds of paid props. Did it respond to the voices of players who couldn’t clear the level, or was it calculated… There were many items that could make the battle easier.
Although he didn’t want to spend more money for the old girl, the reason why my time was taken away was undoubtedly because of the combat and war part.
Other parts were the same as Galgame. As long as you don’t choose the wrong option, you’re fine. So, I interrupted the game and started looking for paid items.
A large number of commodities were displayed on the screen.
These were basically sold at a price of about 100 yen each, but the prices of airships and armor that could be used in combat were particularly high.
Three hundred yen or five hundred yen. There were even 800 yen items.
“…It’s just playing tricks like this, and the evaluation will get worse.”
Although this game was a high-profile super masterpiece at the beginning, it was now criticized on the Internet that it was impossible to pass the levels without krypton gold.
Thanks to this, the originally strong price design was re-evaluated and lowered in less than a month.
Even so, the men’s swimwear sold in the merchandise section was quite expensive.
“It’s disgusting to see men in swimsuits.”
What was sold was a special item that allowed male characters to change into swimsuits.
I was stunned when I saw it.
But, if it was Galgame and it looked like a women’s swimsuit, I’d definitely buy them all.
“It doesn’t matter whether you are a man or a woman, what you should do will still not change.”
I, who was mentally damaged, laughed weakly.
Just imagining a female gamer surrounded by jerks in swimsuits made me sick.
“Women feel the same as me when they see the harem, right? Forget it, it’s all good.”
If it is said that a man surrounded by women is a harem, then on the contrary, a woman surrounded by men was a reverse harem. Just as a reverse harem is nonsense from a male point of view, the so-called harem is also subtle from a female point of view.
I’m really tired too, thinking about these things seriously. Anyway, just think about ending the game for now.
“So, which one can you buy to end immediately?”
No matter which one was charged, it was very powerful.
There were also male character-specific weapons and protagonist-specific equipment for sale here.
In other words, I still want something that can be used in the war part, so I didn’t buy these. As the game progresses, there are ways.
“……This is?”
What came into view was a battleship with the highest fee.
I could ignore the troublesome status data such as supplies, in short, it seems to be able to get a very strong airship.
“It’s more like a spaceship than an airship.”
Its appearance was made of metal, and it was completely different from all the airships that appeared in the game. Its design was said to be a space battleship, but it was more acceptable.
The performance worth 1,000 yen was also impeccable.
After I looked at the setting, I found that it said something from ancient times… In short, it is a spaceship with a very powerful setting.
“…It’s really a spaceship! Could it be, is this a typo?”
Didn’t I mistake the explanatory text and input it as a spaceship? I thought about it, but it’s fine if I can clear the game, and everything else is fine.
The important thing is that it makes the game easier, so buy it.
