The comments section all think I'm a really good person.

You've chosen your look, and then you just randomly pick an outfit.

You have received the [Default Samoyed Doll Costume].

This Samoyed costume is almost entirely white, consisting of a headpiece and a bodysuit. Once you put it on, you can't see the face, and it makes the dog look a bit chubby.

You have no objections.

Guided by the system, you finally entered the game.

You open your eyes and find yourself in a clean and tidy student dormitory.

Your character, "Olive Saki," is lying on her dorm bed.

……Wait a moment.

Why was the art style normal when I was choosing my character's appearance, but after entering the game, both myself and the scene... have turned into pixel art?!

Why does this look so much like a game called "Star Valley"?

You've fallen into doubt and started to think the game's art style is incredibly deceptive.

You control your character to move under the bed, and all you see is the character dressed in a Samoyed costume jumping off the bed and standing on the floor under your mental control.

You had just gotten out of bed when you heard footsteps outside the room.

A figure in black walked in.

Because the characters are pixelated, you can't clearly see what they look like; you can only tell they're girls from their long black hair and skirt.

【？？？】：“...You're finally awake.”

【？？？】：“You suddenly fainted a couple of days ago, and everyone was very worried.”

【？？？】：Why the dazed look on your face?

【？？？】：“…Hey, do you even remember who you are?”

The character is talking to you, but you can only hear a high-pitched, guttural sound; you can't tell what language it is.

It seems you've triggered a main quest, as options have appeared in front of you.

1/ Who are you?

2/ Of course I remember who I am, my name is "Olive Saki", who are you?

3/ Nice to meet you, please marry me.

You think only someone with cerebral palsy would choose the third option.

Between options one and two, the second option includes both a self-introduction and a question-and-answer session, so it should be correct.

So you chose the second option.

You: "Of course I remember who I am. My name is 'Olive Saki'. Who are you?"

【？？？】：“…”

【？？？】：“…………………”

【？？？】：“……………………………………”

The other person's pixelated eyes widened slightly by about a third, and the ellipses seemed to indicate that she was thinking about how to answer.

【？？？】："...It seems your brain is damaged more severely than I thought, Ms. 'Olive Saki'."

【？？？】：“I am Homura Akemi. From now on, you must remember every word I say to you.”

The question mark in parentheses should be replaced with "Akatsuki Homura".

[Homura Akemi]: "You're not feeling well right now, but we have to keep working. We can't stop now."

Homura Akemi: "You are our leader, the leader of the Silver Garden. Due to your mistake, most of the members suddenly fell into a deep sleep. In order for your plan to proceed as scheduled, you now need to gather resources, awaken them, and make them work for you."

[Akatsuki Homura]: "Did you understand? I've slowed down the pace, so you can ask me questions now."

Three options are presented to you:

1/The Silver Garden? What's that?

2/ What resources do I need to collect? How do I collect them?

3/ I understood everything, thank you, Homura-chan.

According to Homura Akemi, the Silver Garden is a newly established film and television company, and the members who have fallen into a deep sleep are your actors. You are the director and behind-the-scenes manager of the Silver Garden, and many things need to be done by you alone.

You: ...Help! What kind of heartless company is this? ...Wait, is this my company?

The resource you need to collect to activate the members is called "fuel," a type of energy determined by the audience's popularity. You'll need to collect it through various tasks.

You: Oh, that's easy to understand.

This is an option that can be asked repeatedly, so you get the answers to the first and second questions, and then end with the third option.

You: "I understood everything, thank you, Homura-chan."

Homura-chan, that's such a cute nickname, don't you think?

Homura-chan himself looks a bit of a headache, with black lines appearing above the pixelated figure's head.

Homura Akemi: "Alright, now that we have a basic understanding of the situation, let's get to work. Now, you can use the remaining fuel to wake up the second member."

The main quest has begun.

——————————————【Preschooler's Original Perspective】————————————————

Homura Akemi asks you to awaken the second member besides her.

You feel familiar with this process and follow the steps the black pixelated figure tells you in a daze.

You first open your backpack, and while checking the items inside, you also see your personal status.

Name: Olive Saki

Gender: Female

Age: 10 (Childhood)

Birthday: 12.25

Place of birth: Unknown

...A very brief personal file.

So how exactly is one's birthday determined? I didn't fill in my birthdate...

Okay, let's just assume it's the system's default birthday.

Is it a little odd that someone is born on Christmas Day...?

You can't understand it.

Although you've lost most of your personal memories, some common sense hasn't been forgotten by your obviously malfunctioning brain. But now, considering how rather unserious this game seems, you decide not to delve any deeper and instead follow the beginner's guide—that is, Homura Akemi—to take the next step.

There are some strange things in your backpack. Homura Akemi suggests that you use the token placed at the front to awaken the second member.

[Nana Oba's Keepsake]: A stack of bloodstained photos with knife cut marks, seemingly mementos of Nana Oba and her friends. Using this keepsake will grant you access to Nana Oba, a member of the Silver Garden.

[Unknown videotape]: It is damaged, and the label on it is blurred, but it once carried dreams.

Nana Ohba... that should be the name of the second member to be awakened.

You take out Nana Ohba's keepsake from your backpack, intending to look at the image on it, but you find that in the pixel art style, neither Nana Ohba nor the faces of the other people in the photo are clearly visible; you can only see many pixel blocks.

You have no choice but to give up and choose to use it.

[System: Use Nana Ohba's keepsake *1?]

You select "OK".

Before you, a golden light accompanied by a rainbow fills the entire screen. When the light fades, you see a new pixelated character standing in front of you.

Her hair was golden, her green beady eyes blinked, and she wore a magnificent white and gold outfit, with a red cape with fur trim on her shoulders that looked quite imposing. Her most striking features were her banana-shaped twin ponytails and the two swords she held in her hands.

As soon as the opponent appeared, the background music changed to a slightly depressing melody.

It was as if on a dark stage, the spotlight shone solely on Nana Ohba, drawing all attention to her.

【Nana Oba】: "The abundant fruits borne on the stage".

[Nana Oba]: "But everyone is too tender."

【Nana Oba】: "Someone must protect us."

[Oba Nana]: "99th generation student, Oba Nana!"

[Nana Oba]: "I will protect you forever, no matter how many times!"

She not only has a prize, but also sings lyrics on stage. It looks very high-class, and she is definitely a very capable employee.

After Nana Oba made her entrance and struck a pose, she spun around on the spot, and her gorgeous clothes turned into specks of light and disappeared, transforming into a gray school uniform.

Her green beady eyes widened slightly, and red lines appeared on her face indicating embarrassment. A speech bubble with the number “…” appeared on her forehead.

Click the dialog box to talk to her.

[Nana Oba]: "...Director, what is this...?"

Before you could answer her, Nana Oba turned around and started talking to Homura Akemi, who was standing next to her.

The conversation between these two was supposed to be an explanation of the current situation, but it was all truncated by the system into a series of "...". You could only hear gibberish and had no idea what they were saying.

understood.

You understand.

Is this a cutscene?

Thinking this, you still couldn't find the skip button, so you decided not to do anything and just waited for the cutscene to end.
