This is not the date I wanted.

"Really?" Shidou simply replied, and then remained silent in thought.

"What's wrong? Shidou, is there a problem?"

"Well, it can't be called a problem..." Shaking his head, Shidao hesitated for a while before speaking: "I finally feel that Meng Yue doesn't seem to regard herself as a woman."

"What do you mean?" Kotori couldn't help but frowned after hearing what Shidou said.

"I can't really put it into words... I always have this feeling."

Kotori did not scold this irresponsible explanation, but showed a thoughtful expression: "Indeed... When Mengyue first dated Shidou, although the favorability increased, it automatically leveled off after reaching a limit. It feels like Shidou was indeed not treated as the opposite sex. And this time when she changed into women's clothes, the increase in favorability was too abnormal. I originally thought Mengyue was a yuri who preferred women. But considering the phenomenon that her emotions stabilized after changing into men's clothes just now, Shidou's statement is very likely!"

"So we're going to change the plan next?"

Reine, who was standing next to Kotori, said leisurely.

Kotori nodded affirmatively. If it is true as Shidou said, that Mengyue is not aware enough of her being a woman, then Mengyue cannot be conquered as a yuri character, but Shidou should be regarded as the heroine and Mengyue should be conquered as a male character.

Don’t think that the difference is small, otherwise bishoujo games and otome games would not be divided into two consumer groups.

"You are kidding me... I am just a boy dressed in women's clothes. Is it possible for me to become the heroine?"

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly. The female clothing he had put on beforehand was already quite a stretch. It was simply impossible for him to completely behave and speak like a girl.

"There is actually another way to play the game, which is for you as the male protagonist to let Meng Yue realize that she is a woman. But we realized it too late. If we suddenly change the route at this critical moment, it will definitely be a Bad End."

"Hmm..." Shidou was speechless. He had to admit that Kotori's analysis was quite correct.

"We will change the AI ​​settings. Don't worry! You know, Fraxinus is fully supporting you behind the scenes!"

Although sometimes not very reliable...

After complaining a little in his heart, Shidao sighed lightly, took the drink he bought, and came to Mengyue who had just completed all the levels.

"Thank you so much, Shizhi-chan." Meng Yue took a sip of the carbonated drink, a light-hearted look on her face, and then as if realizing something, she quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I played too crazy. I completely left Shizhi-chan aside."

"No...I don't care. As long as Mengyue has fun, that's all."

"But I always feel bad that I have to play..." Meng Yue did not give up because of Shidao's words. Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind and she suggested, "Next, let's go to the place where Shizhi wants to play?"

"Eh? I..."

"Shidou, the options are out!"

①Then...I want to take a photo booth photo with Mengyue.

②Go to the claw machine, there is a toy I want.

③I’m a little hungry, can we go eat?

(Author: "I have never played an otome game, please don't mind if I make any mistakes! →_→")

"Sure enough, the options are completely from a girl's perspective." With a chuckle, Kotori gave an order to everyone, "Everyone, make your choice within three seconds!"

Result ① took first place with a slight advantage.

"Shidou, choose ①. Remember to say it like a heroine!"

"Even if you say so, I've never played an otome game."

"For this kind of thing, all you need to do is believe in yourself. Imagine the heroine in a Korean drama. You can do it, sis!"

Don't trust me at this time! And I'm your big brother!

"What's wrong? Have you thought it through? Shiori-chan."

"Well, if possible, can you take a photo with me..." Shidao kept hypnotizing himself that he was the heroine, his face turned slightly red, and he pinched the hem of his skirt shyly, as if he was too embarrassed to speak. Finally, he mustered up the courage to imitate the tone of a girl and shouted: "I, I want to take a photo with Meng Yueyi as a commemoration of this date and keep it forever!"

——Peng!

It seems that some very strange sound words have appeared.

"...Shiori." After a moment's silence, Meng Yue suddenly said with a serious face.

"Yes, yes!" Shidou replied in panic, like a soldier who had made a mistake and was suddenly called out by an officer.

Meng Yue ignored the crowd around him, suddenly knelt down, held Shidao's hand, looked straight at Shidao's face, and said in an extremely solemn tone:

"Marry me! I will spend my whole life making you happy!"

"Boom boom boom!" The sound of celebratory gongs and drums rang in Shidao's ears, symbolizing the beautiful marriage of Shiori and Yume... Pah! The upper limit of favorability has been broken!

At this moment, Gokawa Shiori... cough cough! Shidao was facing the person who was proposing to him for the first time in his life, and should be the last time (?), so naturally, he was completely dumbfounded.

PS: Although you may not believe me in this situation, I didn’t intend to write that Shizhi (♂) married Guan Meng (♀) →_→…

04 Strategy failed?

==============================

At this time, it was evening again, and on the same platform again.

"How's it going? Shiori-chan! The scenery here is beautiful, isn't it?"

"Yeah~"

Enjoying the breeze blowing from time to time on the high platform, Shidao and Mengyue looked at Tiangong City which was already bathed in red clouds, with a little emotion on their faces.

Come to think of it, Tohka was sealed on this platform as well.

Shidao gently stroked his messy wig, feeling a faint sense of nostalgia in his heart.

That day, under the reflection of the setting sun, the beautiful girl with long night-colored hair showed an unprecedented brilliant smile under her desperate and lonely expression.

Suddenly I felt my hand being covered. I turned around and saw Mengyue turning her head away shyly.

"Holding, holding hands is okay..."

Seeing the brown ponytail swaying restlessly as if due to the owner's nervousness, Shidou chuckled and took the smaller hand into his own.

I saw a reassuring aura emanating from Mengyue, and her pretty face was slightly flushed, perhaps because of the setting sun.

Tranquility - the feeling of the two people at this moment can only be described by these two words. The two people quietly held each other's hands, without any words, just silently admired the Tiangong City under the sunset, enjoying a period of quiet time

Gradually, time passed and night began to fall. The Tiangong City, which was originally as tranquil as a painting, was now brightly lit, giving people the illusion that it was like the starry sky on the earth.

"It's evening now..."

Meng Yue spoke quietly.

"Yeah..." Shidao slowly let go of Mengyue's hand, looked at Mengyue who had calmed down with a complicated expression, and said with some difficulty, "Is it okay then? Mengyue."

Although Shidao did not remove his voice changer at this time, his tone made it clear that he was a man.

Shidou refused the proposal at the amusement center, saying, "I'm not mentally ready yet!"

Although the tourists around him were urging him to agree, Shidao actually knew that it was impossible for him to agree.

Moreover, Shidao felt that even Mengyue herself vaguely expressed that she did not want him to agree.

Because, the Gokawa Shiori she loved was just an illusion created by Gokawa Shidao. No matter what the outcome of this date was, the only one she had to face was the young man who could seal the power of spirits - Gokawa Shidao.

This was a daydream, a dream that fulfilled Guan Meng's wish.

When night falls, it is time to wake up from the dream.

Meng Yue closed her eyes for a long time before slowly opening them. She had returned to her original appearance and smiled bitterly, "That's really too much, Shidao boy. Can't I have a sweet dream for a while longer?"

"Dreams are not reality. One day you have to wake up, right?"

"That's true..." Meng Yue sighed a little with some regret, then smiled as if she had let it go, "Okay. Stop playing like an artistic boy. Didn't Shidao want to seal my spiritual power? If I'm facing Shizhi-chan, I think there should be no problem with my favorability!"

Shidou nodded and whispered to Kotori for confirmation. Kotori said that although her favorability had dropped a lot, there was still no problem with the seal.

"No problem..." Shidou took a deep breath. Even though he knew the procedure, it was really embarrassing to say it out loud.

"Please kiss me!"

"……Eh?"

Seeing Shidou lowering his head and pleading like this, Mengyue made an unintelligible sound, and then said with a little dissatisfaction.

"Shidou-kun, we should be talking about serious matters now. Please don't interfere with my personal wishes, okay?"

"No! No! You misunderstood." Shidao waved his hands hurriedly and explained, "This is a necessary process to seal the spiritual power. Didn't Mengyue read the information?"

"No... I was halfway through watching it when Yui and Yakuya came over, so I didn't finish it."

Originally Meng Yue thought that the so-called sealed spiritual power was like the Five Elements Seal, Evil Sealing Seal, and Eight Trigrams Seal in Naruto, which were usually sealed with some special techniques, and the so-called favorability was just an additional condition for its use.

I didn't expect that this method requires kissing. It's really worthy of being a harem anime, full of malice... If I had known this method was going to be this way, I would never have agreed to it from the beginning.

"Shidou! Meng Yue's favorability has suddenly dropped and is now below the minimum requirement for sealing."

As Kotori's anxious voice came to her ears, Mengyue said to herself apologetically: "I'm sorry... Shidou boy. I can't kiss you..."

"Eh? Mengyue, didn't you already agree?"

Shidao's face was full of confusion. Meng Yue looked at Shidao's women's clothing with a little obsession, but finally shook her head, lowered her head and muttered a little embarrassedly: "Because... kissing... isn't it a vow that can only be made when getting married..."

(Author: "I would like to explain that although Guan Meng started watching anime when she was young, she hated harems. She only watched those innocent anime, and since the endings of such works are basically that the lovers kiss each other after they get married, she gradually developed the value of "only men and women who are going to get married can kiss" - setting.")

After hearing Mengyue's answer, Shidou and Kotori were speechless.

"Why do I have to feel so girlish in a place like this..."

Kotori whined in distress, holding her head with her hands.

"Maybe... I should have agreed to Mengyue's proposal just now." Lingyin said a little depressed.

Considering that Mengyue's attitude at the time was too serious, and if they really got married it would affect the mental state of other elves, after the discussion, Kotori did not deny Shidou's refusal.

"It's too late to say this now."

Kotori was feeling like a baseball player who had hit a hit and returned safely to home plate, but was called out because he accidentally forgot to step on the third base.

This date (date/war) to capture Liang Yi Meng Yue ended in failure.

"Didi——!"

"Commander, there is a strong random field reaction one hundred meters away from Shidao!"

At this moment, Kawagoe suddenly reported in panic.

"What did you say!?"

Kotori stood up hurriedly, supporting herself on the podium with both hands, a look of panic on her face.

……

"I'm sorry, Shidou-kun. I understand your good intentions. But please forgive me for not being able to accept your request. Take care!"

Seeing Mengyue gently lowering her head towards him, Shidao's heart was filled with resentment and self-blame.

Shidao was right at the time, Mengyue did not want Shidao to accept the proposal. But he did not expect Mengyue to only kiss the person he married, which made the strategy fail.

This is the reality. Even though you have tried your best to consider every factor and do your best, there will always be some irresistible and unpredictable factors that lead to failure.

"Wait! Meng Yue..."

Just as Shidao was about to say something, Mengyue's eyes suddenly became sharp, and she kicked Shidao in the lower abdomen, sending him flying dozens of meters away.

"Ah...!?" Shidou let out a ridiculous sound due to the sudden kick, and fell into a small bush nearby. His whole body was entangled in the messy branches. After trying to free himself from the clothes that were entangled with him, Shidou shouted.

“What are you doing——”

But the blame could not be brought to the end.

A fierce ray of light suddenly fell from the sky at an oblique angle, with enough power to distort the surrounding scenery, and swallowed up the place where Mengyue and Shidao were.

Sensing the sudden attack, Mengyue gave up precious time to respond and sent Shidao to a safe area.

"Divine Power Spiritual Outfit. Second Part (Yod)"

In the billowing smoke, a powerful airflow suddenly surged in all directions, dispersing the fog and revealing Meng Yue, who was wearing a black windbreaker and Tokiwadai girls' school uniform, surrounded by blue and white electric light.

The Divine Spirit Armor is Meng Yue’s most powerful and solid fortress when fighting.

Gently brushing off the dust on her body, Meng Yue looked into the distance and said calmly, "What a rude way of greeting! I never thought the British were so uneducated."

"Is this really not enough to deal with you? Hacker."

As she spoke, a woman with light blond hair wearing a silver-white mecha called Pendragon appeared in front of Mengyue.

——Alan Mira Mathers. The most powerful magician in the human race that DEM is proud of.

"Mengyue! Leave quickly, that guy is very dangerous."
