When I reincarnated in the world of a gal game, I had memories of all the heroines being conquered, and it turned into a chaotic situation...

“Hey, Riku-kun? What’s going on?”

“You didn’t happen to pull the same stunt on Himeno, did you?”

“What’s going on with this situation?”

I was trembling in fear.

What should I do in this situation? How can I safely navigate from this peacefully?

…No. I need to tell them the truth.

Listening to their conversation, I realized something. No matter how surreal the story may be, it didn’t concern them. Wakana and ‘Riku’ had faced challenges together and overcome dangers to be together. Yui was saved from being a captive princess and found her lost love. Himeno had her own extraordinary experience and had a fair share of love life with Riku. These facts remained unchanged, and their feelings were genuine.

But I was different. Even if I was Riku, the one they had romantic relationships with was not the same Riku. Keeping this from them lacked sincerity.

So, I decided to tell the truth.

With determination in my heart, I began to speak.

“Yui, Wakana, listen to me.”

Both of them looked like they wanted to say something but remained silent.

“The stories Yui and Wakana told earlier are a hundred percent true.”

“Wha—…”

“Wait!”

I interrupted Yui to leave the possibility of rolling away.

“Think about it. If both stories are true, isn’t there something odd about the timeline and our relationships with each other?”

To make them realize how unusual this was, I spoke the surreal truth, but Wakana spoke up in between.

“No, even before I leaped back from the future, I already knew something was strange. So, I didn’t need anyone to tell me about what Yui was saying earlier. I accepted that the Yui who returned from that world line was here and I’m angry with Riku based on that. Right?”

[TL/N : Finally the author revealed the fact about this memory lapse. They are similar to regressors, having memories of being conquered by our MC in the game.]

“Uh…”

“What? You know I’m right. I remember my future vividly, so I’m thinking the same way as Wakana. After thinking that, I’m getting angry at Riku for cheating. Since Riku didn’t deny both stories, he has memories with both of us. So, it’s Riku’s choice to date multiple girls. That’s what I’m angry about, you know?”

The heroines are really good at this…

“Hmm?”

What are they talking about? This girl is so cute.

Well, if the two of them understand, this will be resolved quickly.

“Overall, what Yui and Wakana said is true, but there’s a difference. I am a single entity, but Minori is not.”

“What do you mean?”

“Minori is the protagonist of a dating sim, and I am the player of that dating sim… Well, I’m not any different from Minori, but my memories are from the perspective of a dating sim player.”

There were question marks floating above their heads, so I clarified.

“This world is the world of a dating sim, and the three of you are the heroines of the dating sim. I am the protagonist. And my memories are from playing that game.”

“Hey, Riku?”

“What is a dating sim?”

“Me too. I don’t know what a dating sim is.”

Huh…?

These two are quick to accept the words they listen from me without any second thoughts, but they’ve never played a dating sim? Do they even know what it is in this world?

There should be dating sims in this world as well. But… To us, this is reality.

If that’s the case…

“Alright. Yui, Wakana, and Himeno, even if you can’t play dating sims today, try to look into it. Then, let’s meet here again tomorrow to discuss.”

They didn’t look happy about my proposal, but they nodded.

“Did Himeno understand too?”

“Yes. I understood. I pretty much get what’s going on. I’m going to study about dating sims too.”

“Yeah. Well, that’s it then.”

Leaving those words behind, I hurriedly left the rooftop.

Closing the door and descending the stairs, I let out a heavy sigh.

I was incredibly tired. However, this should resolve all the issues.

Once they understand the concept behind dating sims, they will realize that the Riku they loved doesn’t exist in this timeline. If that happens, their affection for me will naturally fade, and we will grow distant. Then, I won’t have to follow the path of the original dating sim protagonist.

I feel sorry for them, losing the one they loved, but the story ends here.

Now, having been freed from the role of a dating sim protagonist, I can look ahead to my life clearly.

That’s right. I’ve been released from the role of a dating sim protagonist, so maybe I’ll try to become a YouTuber and make use of my skills. It sounds easy right?

Yes, my future looks bright. With these thoughts in mind, I headed home with light steps.

☆☆☆☆☆☆

The next day on the rooftop, I was practically glued to Yui, Wakana, and Himeno, even more than yesterday.

“Hey, what happened with the dating sim stuff?”

“We played the most popular dating sim recently.”

“Yeah, I also joined the Doki Doki Manga Club with Himeno.”

“Both of you played the only dating sim you shouldn’t…”

“Oh, Wakana, you didn’t play it?”

“No, I didn’t. I played a different game.”

“By the way, what was the title?”

“Me and my Love.”

“Umm… That’s not good either.”
