A world only known by the God of Lost Love

"...travel through time? God of strategy?"

Hearing this shocking statement, Suzuki Ren, whose nerves were numb due to the unexpected incident, not only burst into laughter.

"Since you have such a powerful ability, why don't you attack those girls yourself?"

"Because I already have a clear lover, so I can't act unfaithfully to her."

Faced with Ren Suzuki's rhetorical question, Keima Katsuragi's answer was surprisingly firm.

"Even if it's just a 'fake' relationship, it's absolutely not okay."

"Already have a lover? This reason is surprisingly valid."

After hearing this surprisingly normal reason, Suzuki Ren accepted it very easily.

At this time, he no longer regarded the two high school students in front of him as simple chuunibyou or liars.

"Saving the world is doubtful, but your investigation of me is indeed beyond what ordinary people can do..."

Ren Suzuki stroked the watch strap and asked the two of them:

"Then, let me first hear how you specifically need my help. Are you going to wear this watch to get close to the girls who are parasitized by expelling souls, and then conquer them?"

"To put it simply, it is true, but... the way to approach them may be different from what you imagine."

As Keima Katsuragi said, he pointed to his wrist:

"If you decide to become our assistant, then please say the command [Start Strategy] to that watch. At that time, the navigation will guide your next move."

"...So smart."

Suzuki Ren raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"What if I never give the order?"

"Then the Exorcist Soul will continue to exist in the world, and the world will also move toward destruction step by step."

"...The consequences are really exaggerated."

Suzuki Ren shook his head.

"I'm so lucky that you would entrust me with such an important task..."

"If it's you, there's absolutely no problem. This is also the clear conclusion I've reached after my investigation."

Keima Katsuragi's tone was filled with incomprehensible confidence.

"On this, I can stake my dignity as the God of Strategy."

"Ha, ha... Anyway, all you need to do is give the command?"

Although he had no real understanding of the so-called saving the world, out of curiosity about this strange watch and a desire to verify the two people's statements, he still raised his wrist and whispered softly under the expectant eyes of the two. Those four words——

[Start the strategy]

click-

An unnatural mechanical sound suddenly sounded in his ears.

[Instruction received, start navigation. 】

Following Ren Suzuki's order, the text on the panel began to change. Then, the whole world suddenly turned completely black and white, and everything entered a state of stillness.

Faced with this scene, which was like being attacked by a substitute, before Suzuki Ren could react further, with the sound of metal friction of gears turning, his consciousness instantly fell into a blank...

........................

"Ah...Mr. Suzuki has already set off, Onii-sama."

Looking at the empty front, Ellie couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But then, a trace of worry appeared on her face again.

"But...is it really okay? If we fail to succeed in the end, something really big will happen..."

"Don't worry, if I am the 'God of Strategy' in the Two-dimensional, then Ren Suzuki is the well-deserved 'God of Broken Love' in the three-dimensional."

Keima Katsuragi showed a confident smile.

"I have seen the ending. Next, we just need to quietly watch his active and heroic appearance."

"...Ha, onii-sama, having confidence is better than anything else."

Elsie sighed slightly, and then turned her gaze again to the place where Suzuki Ren disappeared.

"I hope everything goes well for you... Mr. Lovelorn God."

........................

My consciousness is like riding on a high-speed train, and my vision, hearing, thinking... and even the whole world have become blurred.

And in that chaos, a few words still reached his ears clearly——

[It’s because of you by my side that I have the courage to stand here! 】

【From now on...your existence is the reason why I pick up the paintbrush. 】

[If it were you, I would be willing to accompany you to the ends of the world. 】

【Your happiness is everything to me. 】

(These are...whose voices are they?)

Vague consciousness is not enough to support thinking.

The flowing noise disturbed the already shaky memory.

In the end, Ren Suzuki completely lost consciousness...

Chapter 1: Navigation system and strategy objects

Click-click-click.

The originally chaotic metallic sound gradually became slow and orderly until it disappeared.

And Suzuki Ren's consciousness became clear again with this gradually orderly sound...

[End of navigation]

The panel of the Soul Expulsion Navigation System appears again.Let Suzuki Ren instantly recall what just happened.

"What on earth did those guys do to me..."

Out of concern for his life safety, Ren Suzuki shook his heavy head as if he had just woken up, and then quickly checked his physical condition.

"The heart rate is normal, the body temperature is normal, there are no open wounds, and there is no pain anywhere in the body. Except for a slight heaviness in the brain, there are basically no other adverse... symptoms..."

……

"what?"

Looking at the unfamiliar high school uniform she was wearing, Ren Suzuki couldn't help but make a sound of surprise.

"Where does this... school uniform come from? I'm obviously wearing regular uniform on the street... eh?"

Full of surprise, Ren Suzuki quickly found the mirror in the room and carefully looked at herself in the mirror——

"is that a lie……?"

The short black hair that has been treated with hair wax, the delicate and upright appearance, and the facial features that can be seen as underage at a glance...

The extremely familiar face in front of me is exactly what Ren Suzuki looked like when he was in high school.

"No, it's not just about the appearance... why did I find the mirror in the room so naturally just now? This is obviously a strange room to me..."

While Ren Suzuki was still confused by everything around him, a lot of inexplicable memories emerged in his mind——

【Intervention completed】

The panel popped up again, and with it came memories that had been integrated.

[Suzuki Ren, 15 years old, is a first-year student who is about to enter Xiuhua High School. 】

[I am an only son who lives alone. His parents work overseas all year round and will regularly send him living expenses. 】

[Birthday is June 178th, blood type is B, height 65cm, weight [-]kg. 】

"...This is simply who I was in the past."

Looking through past experiences in his mind that were almost identical to those in the real world, Ren Suzuki couldn't help but smile wryly and rubbed his brows.

"Travel through time? Parallel world? Or is it just a simple hallucination?"

The too surreal unfolding filled Suzuki Ren's heart with anxiety about the unknown.

However, immediately after, the next panel that popped up from the navigation system directly pointed out his next action——

[The target range for the strategy has been locked, please go to Xiuhua High School to confirm. 】

"...It really feels like a 'navigation'. All the subsequent actions have been planned for me."

Taking a look at the schoolbag that had been packed on the desk at some point and the clear commuting route in his mind, Ren Suzuki sighed slightly, then picked up his schoolbag and embarked on this familiar yet unfamiliar route. commute road.

........................

The more surreal the development of the situation, the more it confirms Keima Katsuragi's statement.

Looking at the completely unfamiliar scenery around him and the extremely clear word "Tokyo" in his phone's location, Ren Suzuki began to accept this outrageous setting.

"That is to say...if you can't fall in love with your target, will the world really be destroyed?"

That nonsense that sounds ridiculous seems to be gradually turning into a real crisis.

That being said, however, he still couldn't easily accept this sense of nihility without actually encountering danger.

"But no matter what... let's meet the capture target first."

They come, the security.

Now that we have arrived in this strange world, it is better to adapt as soon as possible and collect more information than to stand still in a panic.

And for Ren Suzuki, who has a mental age of 20 and is studying at the Department of Medicine at Kyoto University, he is not nervous about returning to high school.

not to mention……

"Hey, look at that boy... he's so handsome!"

"And he's also wearing Xiuhua's school uniform! Oops, is he a freshman this year?"

"Wow! It's true! I'm starting to look forward to the rest of my high school career!"

"Me too!"

It is embarrassing to say that he, with his outstanding appearance, has been a "Brahmin" in the campus caste system since the past.

Even if he suddenly returned to the past, there was no reason for him to feel uncomfortable.

Putting aside the compliments and comments he was used to hearing, Suzuki Ren walked towards Xiuhua High School with a slightly hasty pace.

........................

Although they attend different schools, things like the opening ceremony and class placement are not that far apart.

With a feeling of great nostalgia, Ren Suzuki passed through a group of freshmen taking photos with their parents at the school gate and walked to her classroom.

1-D

"Wow! It's the handsome guy I just saw at the opening ceremony!"

"It's actually in our class!"

"So lucky!"

As soon as he entered the door, there were cheers from the girls.

"Wow...it's Chi Noodles."

“The campus capstone of the future appears.”

"What a complete defeat..."

The boys also cried out and complained one after another.

However, for Ren Suzuki at this time, these noisy sounds could not enter his ears at all.

Because the moment he walked into the class, the navigation system panel popped up in front of him——
