"I want to be your first love!"

Chapter 487 This is not the romantic comedy I wanted

"Wow... my first love, so this is a first love completion plan specially prepared for me?"

"Don't get me wrong! I'm not doing this for you! It's for myself! So you should value me more, instead of that stinky snake! I'm the god who chose you, okay!"

"Although I don't remember very clearly, I do remember that my first love wasn't a tsundere."

If she were truly a tsundere, she probably wouldn't have missed the opportunity, since being a tsundere requires the other person to have feelings for her.

"I only borrowed one character from this woman's name and her identity in this world. This is my true appearance. Who told you to not even remember this woman's face!"

"Well, in my memory, she's someone from over ten years ago. If I didn't see a photo, I definitely wouldn't remember her."

"Humph……"

It was precisely because Kuroba Akira didn't remember very clearly that she chose the school background and the identity of her first love.

There are actually other scenes and characters to choose from.

For example, the junior colleague at the game company I worked for in my previous life who had feelings for Bai Yuming.

If Kuroba Akira hadn't suddenly died, he probably would have dated and married that junior.

However, she didn't want to completely become someone from Kuroba Akira's memories. It would be terrible if he rekindled his feelings and wanted to return to the original world.

That's why I deliberately chose an identity from a longer period of time, one that offered some room for development.

And if we're talking about 'regrets,' then it can only be about my first love.

After all, he did have some regrets; he wished he had been more proactive back then.

But when we talked on the phone again later, I felt relieved. What's missed is missed, and some relationships, once missed, are gone for a lifetime.

Conversely, it is precisely because of these missed opportunities that Shiraha Akira became the Shiraha Akira he is today. Those 'wrong choices' and 'regrettable experiences' shaped his current personality.

He never felt that his life was a complete waste; it was just that the ending of working himself to death was too ironic.

Isn't there a saying like that?

Imperfection is the norm in this world, and life is full of flaws.

"So this is what you originally looked like? You were actually quite cute."

Kuroba Akira is surrounded by many excessively beautiful women and cute lolis, but after they lose their virginity, they lose their girlish innocence and naivety, and instead exude a mature and alluring aura.

Therefore, girls with an innocent and sweet personality like her are quite rare.

"Hmph, you are the first human in modern times to directly face the face of this deity. Those who know my true appearance are already in their graves, so feel honored! This appearance is no less than that of those women who fawn over you!"

That smug look of hers is definitely Kuroo, though now we should call her 'Aya' (the Japanese pronunciation of Aya is aya).

"So, Aya-chan, will you go out with me?"

One sentence was enough to make the lovely Aya panic.

"Huh?! What are you doing?! Who confesses right away?! Try to increase my affection level first!"

Kuroba Akira teased with a smile.

"Didn't you want to be my first love? Then I have no choice but to confess... As for the affection level, it's already maxed out."

"Who said anything about your favorability rating! I'm talking about mine! Don't think I'm here to give you away for free! You're the one who has to please me! If you make me feel comfortable, I'll let you out when I'm in a good mood!"

"So that's how it is. Is this the purpose of your designing this world?"

Aya lured herself here to play a realistic visual novel designed with her as the 'heroine'.

"Besides, your favorability rating is based on your first love, right? When I said I wanted to be your first love, I didn't mean you should treat me as a substitute for your first love and start all over again!"

"No, I'm confessing to you right in front of me. How could my first love, whose name and face I can't even remember, be more important than you?"

"...It's been a while since I've seen you, and your skills at charming women have gotten even better."

"It's caused by eating too much of a gigolo's rice."

But this is the truth.

Kuroba Akira had long since let go of his first love and never thought of rekindling it.

But Akira Kuroba never forgot about Aya running away from home and never forgot to find her.

"Even if you don't do such things, you're the one I trust the most."

"Stop lying! Didn't you trust your suddenly appearing sister more before?"

“I believe Sister An because she preserved my memories, and I can feel her true feelings, but my trust in you is unconditional… I should have made that clear to you back then.”

"...I already knew about that."

Aya actually knew that even if Kuroba Akira didn't say it, she knew what Kuroba Akira was thinking.

Aya had seen Kuroba Akira's memories and stayed by his side, witnessing firsthand the little things he left behind in this world, and knew his character very well.

She knew that the snake wouldn't try to devour and replace Kuroba Akira, and besides, she didn't have the ability to do so.

I'm just... a little jealous.

Yes, now that things have come to this, she finally realizes and admits that she is jealous.

She didn't care about the women around Kuroba Akira because she felt that it was perfectly normal for humans to reproduce, not to mention that those humans could provide her with faith. Naturally, the more women like that, the better.

But Kuroba An, that yokai who was once the head of Orochi, is different.

That was a being similar to her, and the fact that she was parasitizing the body of her chosen agent made her very uncomfortable.

It feels like my own agent has been taken away.

That's why she threw a tantrum and ran away from home.

What changed her mind was what happened during the group camp trip.

She wasn't there, but she knew what had happened to Kuroba Akira.

Although she hated it, she had to admit that if it weren't for the snake's arrangement, Kuroba Akira's crazy sister would have succeeded.

She felt ashamed that she, as a god, had been unable to help Kuroba Akira in the slightest.

Although I haven't accumulated enough faith yet, if I don't cause trouble and go with them, I can at least be of some help, right?

This became her regret, and then it became a knot in her heart.

Just as Akira Kuroba mustered the courage to call her first love and resolve her inner conflict, she also needed a similar experience to resolve her own inner conflict.

Otherwise, he will eventually turn into a mad god due to his obsession.

Aya, who had never apologized before, didn't know how to start the conversation. Besides, she was the one who had thrown a tantrum and run away from home first, and now she had to come back and apologize. It was a bit embarrassing for her.

So, on the advice of a certain fox, a place for reconciliation was designed.

But in reality, the moment they met again, they were already on the same page, and that little bit of conflict was completely insignificant.

"Is this a gift designed especially for me? To be honest, it brings back a lot of memories."

"...You probably don't want to go back, do you?"

"Even if I could go back, I wouldn't. I'm having such a great time here, and so many people love me, why would I go back?"

Aya knew that Kuroba Akira was deliberately speaking in a flippant manner to reassure her and to make her feel less guilty.

She had never hesitated for a moment before to use her powers, but now she wondered if bringing Bai Yuming into this world because of her own willfulness was also a form of persecution against him.

Did he ever blame himself?

After all, dying a worthy death is a kind of liberation for humanity.

Perhaps Akira Kuroba didn't care about the second life he was given... He was the type who would accept his own death with equanimity.

However, Kuroba Akira simply smiled and extended his hand to her.

"And all of this was given to me by you. Since you brought me into this world, you should at least take responsibility for it to the end. So come home with me, Kuroo."

"I told you not to skip any parts of the walkthrough..."

But she still took his hand despite her reluctance.

This was the first time she had shaken hands with him in human form. She had previously borrowed Qingxia's body and had physical intimacy with him, but at that time she was just an ignorant god no different from other gods.

Originally, emotions, as part of faith, were merely a necessity for the gods' survival and a source of power; the meaning that emotions themselves represented was never taken into consideration.

But now... she seems to be able to understand human emotions.

This is actually the most precious thing.

"But since we're already here, let's take a look around. I really miss the beef and potato stew that the cafeteria lady used to make. Speaking of which, this place should be pretty safe, right? Maybe we can bring everyone in too. It's much cooler here than outside."

It was summer, but Kuroba Akira's high school was in the Tohoku region. In August, the temperature had already started to cool down, and it was quite cool indoors. At least you wouldn't break out in a sweat without doing anything.

"Well... I should be quite safe within my territory. Those monsters outside can't get in. I have more faith than I can ever spend!"

She used to look down on a certain nouveau riche fox, but now she herself has become a nouveau riche.

"By the way, the NPCs around us haven't reacted at all since the beginning. What's going on?"

"Because we were talking about things that didn't fit their worldview, they automatically filtered out that content and ignored our existence."

"Oh ho? That's quite interesting. It really does sound like an NPC's reaction."

It's a bit like a role-playing game; you have to play a specific role.

"Brother, are you finished talking?"

Xiao Guang, who had been watching his brother flirt with girls from the doorway, saw that the easy-to-handle god had been basically won over, so he went into the classroom and said.

"While you were flirting, something seemed to have happened outside the school."

"It wasn't flirting!" "What happened?"

Xiao Guang pointed to the window and said.

"You'll know when you look outside."

Kuroba Akira went to the window, and the surrounding NPCs also returned to normal, gathering together at the window.

An unreal scene is unfolding on the playground outside.

A student in a school uniform, with half of his face covered in blood and flesh, and dark red liquid hanging from the corner of his mouth, lunged at the other students around him in a bizarre and incongruous manner.
