After their confessions were rejected, they regretted it for the rest of their lives.

[Dating simulation with a target character – Tsuruo Kurimaki]

[Development Path - Idol]

[Girl's development progress 100%]

[Confession progress 90%]

[Complete the task and receive the target reward, then unbind from the system]

There will be a downpour today; a raindrop, carried by the evening breeze, splattered against the restaurant's glass.

With a soft splash, a ring of water spread out, blurring the environment inside and outside the window.

Xia Weiyu sat by the window, watching the sky gradually darken outside, mixed with the blue light from the system screen in front of her.

This is a Japanese restaurant in the most bustling area of ​​Qingcheng.

His room was located on the second floor, in the most romantic viewpoint in the entire restaurant.

Under the neon lights of the city's rain-soaked sky, Xia Weiyu could still see two turtledoves huddled together in their simple nest in the cracks.

As the rain intensified, the water blurred against the glass.

He could see a celebrity's GG flashing on the big screens in the city streets...

"Phew~"

Xia Weiyu exhaled.

Today is a gamble that will determine his life or death.

He did a lot to try and win this gamble…

For example, you could book the entire restaurant and have someone specifically create the perfect atmosphere for your confession.

Or you can keep increasing the girl's affection level until the last day stipulated by the system.

The only problem is that Qingcheng's weather is unpredictable, with frequent rain.

But there's no other way.

[Remaining time: 2 hours and 16 minutes]

[If the host fails to establish a romantic relationship with their bound partner within the specified time, the host will die.]

Xia Weiyu had no way to avoid it, ever since he bound himself to this system a few years ago.

The countdown to the confession felt like a death knell, even before he had a girl as his target.

The countdown continues.

"I won't fail again..."

Xia Weiyu looked at her reflection in the window.

Standing at 1.8 meters tall, with a slender, model-like physique, he serves as an idol producer.

Her face is often approached by talent scouts within the industry.

This perfect appearance

There are also investors willing to spend a lot of money to "cultivate" the persona of potential stocks.

It seems simple to get a girl who is an idol he discovered and who has been living in a foreign country for half a year and has relied on him almost entirely.

However, given that Xia Weiyu had already failed twice before,

He's already been killed twice by this money-losing system.

It can't be said that the system is entirely to blame for the losses; the bigger reason is that the two objects that were previously bound to it both had some serious problems.

It's no exaggeration to say they really have some serious mental illness!

This system seems to prefer targeting teenage girls with serious mental illnesses...

Xia Weiyu felt a headache coming on when she recalled her two previous experiences of confessing her feelings to her partners and being rejected.

He just wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible.

I feel uncomfortable every time I see the "death countdown" on this crappy visual novel system.

.........

Aside from some minor details, his current world is basically the same as the original world around 2015.

If we consider the development of the anime/manga/game (2D) genre...

The "tsundere" trait is indeed very popular in the current era...

Xia Weiyu's sudden train of thought seemed rather erratic and impractical.

However, it has a certain connection with the Japanese girl it's associated with.

The sound of the door being pushed open rang out, accompanied by a pleasant but somewhat cold voice.

"Inviting me to dinner a few kilometers away from my agency, huh... you really know how to do that..."

The girl who entered had a clear voice, tinged with a hint of nonchalant dissatisfaction.

Although she grew up in Japan, her Chinese is not unfamiliar at all.

Tsuruo Kurimaki has just been freed from her busy idol affairs.

The girl wore a dark gray half-zip hoodie, looking somewhat relaxed. Her well-developed chest was enough to support the loose hoodie, revealing a slight curve in her chest.

He naturally folded the umbrella and placed it at the door.

Beneath the light gray plaid pleated skirt, legs encased in dark black pantyhose were a few drops of rainwater.

This makes the stockings fit the girl's skin better, making her legs appear slimmer and longer.

This is quite rare in Japan, where bowlegs are so common.

The girl sat down directly opposite Xia Weiyu, pouting as she looked out the window at the rain.

He could see Tsuruo Kurimaki's profile.

Her chestnut brown curly hair brushed lightly against her cheeks, her long eyelashes drooped gently, and the corners of her eyes were slightly upturned.

Her nose was small and straight, and her lips were a pale pink, but the lip line was pressed into a straight line that said, "I don't want to talk much."

The lack of superfluous expressions only accentuated her cool and refined demeanor.

【Favourability: 120】

Um...

A number that, if placed in a dating sim, would be enough to achieve a perfect playthrough and even unlock a hidden ending.

According to the standards provided by the system,

A favorability rating of 50 is enough to sustain a gradually developing romance.

At 70, one can discuss marriage.

80 basically means you can have a date, book a hotel room, and have a full-service package without any financial burden.

Generally, couples who support each other and love each other until death are only about 90% complete.

However, according to the system, if the affection level exceeds 90 and you keep delaying confessing, you should worry about being sexually assaulted.

For scores as high as 100, one must worry about the target's mental state.

Don't accidentally raise a yandere (obsessive and possessive child) who could cause someone's death.

At this level of affection, even without a confession,

The other person's eyes are enough to make pink hearts flutter when they look at you, and you'll always be surrounded by pink bubbles when you're together.

Logically speaking, for a guy like Xia Weiyu, who has excellent looks and physique, a 40+ level of favorability would already give him a high probability of success if he confessed his feelings.

But he kept pushing himself to the limit until the very last day, not because he liked to challenge himself or because he had a yandere complex.

The favorability rating displayed by the system seems like a joke!

If this favorability rating were useful, Xia Weiyu wouldn't have had to experience two failed attempts at the game.

The first time, the favorability rating was 90, but the confession failed.

The second time, the affection level was 100, but the confession failed.

Moreover, the broken galgame system is now bound to a pure, old-school tsundere.

Unlike the cute and arrogant type, who is more delicate than proud.

After spending the past six months together, he could tell that this girl had a rather twisted personality!

Looking at the classic black and brown loafers on the girl's feet, there were some water stains on the toes.

Xia Weiyu asked with concern,

"Did you come here with an umbrella?"

"Um."

The girl's gray-brown eyes were cold and aloof; when she turned to Xia Weiyu, she seemed to show no emotion whatsoever.

"I get a bit carsick, you probably know that, but since you already knew I'd come all this way in the rain, why did you still want to meet me in such an inconvenient location? It's not just to see your idol looking disheveled, is it?"

Kurimaki Tsuruo rested her chin on her hand, her eyes sparkling with a nonchalant languor, like a brown cat. Although there was only a table between them, it felt as if a smooth mountain range separated them.

"..."

For a girl with a cold and aloof personality, you definitely can't use the usual dating process to win her over and confess your feelings.

Moreover, the Kurimaki Tsuruo standing before Xia Weiyu...

From the moment Tokyo Idol Agency brought her to Japan for development, you could sense that Kurimaki Tsuruo was the type who...would never express her feelings, even unto death.
