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...

The heroines sitting in front of me were all exchanging glances that seemed to scatter spark between them. Even though it was still daytime, it was early April, and despite the wind blowing in, the rooftop, which should have been chilly, was enveloped in a blazing heat, making it feel hot rather than cold.

As soon as I stepped onto the rooftop, I quietly opened the door and went back inside the school building.

This was the day after we had decided to gather after researching gal games. In the morning, there was a guidance session for the upperclassmen, and in the afternoon, there was one for the underclassmen. So, we had gathered on the rooftop just before noon. But things had taken an unexpected turn.

I had expected the heroines to come to the rooftop looking downcast, having lost their beloved Minato Riku. However, what I saw was the same scene as yesterday. Why? Hadn’t they looked into gal games prosperity now? No, there must be another reason.

I had no choice but to ask them directly. Without knowing the reason, I couldn’t make any plans.

I retraced my steps up the staircase I had unknowingly descended in fear and opened the rooftop door.

“Oh, Riku-kun!”

Himeno noticed me and rushed over, but in a reflex, I tried to turn and escape. However, she wrapped her arm around my neck and hugged me tightly, rendering me immobile.

“Kuh… Himeno!”

“Himeno got to him first!”

The other two also hugged me, one on each arm.

It was a full-blown harem situation, and I was completely surrounded by Yui, Wakana, and Himeno, with Himeno clinging to my back. They each had their own sweet scent and soft touch, but it wasn’t comfortable at all. Instead, I felt rather uneasy and queasy.

“…Hey, what happened to the gal games I talked about?”

I managed to ask in the midst of my discomfort, and Yui and Himeno replied.

“We’ve been playing the most popular gal games lately.”

“Yeah, like Himeno, I’ve been playing the Doki Doki Manga Research Club.”

“Both of you played a gal-game you shouldn’t have…”

“Oh, so, Wakana, did you play it too?”

“Yeah, I didn’t play it. I played a different one.”

“By the way, what’s the title of that game?”

“Me and my Love”

“Um, that’s also a no.”

I understood the cause of this situation. The games they had played had meta elements. In these games, the player, rather than the protagonist, was involved in the heroines’ romantic pursuits. And what I had said yesterday was, “Minato Riku is the protagonist of the gal game, and I’m not the player, but I have the memories of a future where I was a gal game player.” In other words, those titles they had played might have led them to think, “The real person I loved is here behind the screen, not Minato Riku.”

More than that, they might think I tried to “capture” them or something, even if I didn’t have feelings for them, due to my memories as a player.

“Hey, Riku? If this is indeed a gal game world as you said, and you’re the player behind the screen, trying to tell us that I’m different from the Riku I loved, right?”

I flinched but replied, “Um, well, yeah, but…”

“But if you said your future memories are those of a player,” Yui continued, “that means you’re still the same Riku, right? So, the Riku I loved and the Riku who played the game are one and the same, right?”

I could only nod at Yui’s words. My future memories were just the memories of being a player. It was similar to reincarnation, but I wasn’t being possessed or having my personality taken over. I was still Minato Riku.

“So, that means you’re the Riku I love, right?”

“Well…”

“And if you said you were a player, it doesn’t change the fact that you’re the Riku I fell in love with. Right?”

“Um, yeah…”

“Then it’s settled. It doesn’t matter if you’re a player or not; you’re still the same Riku, and there’s a future where you’ll be in love with me, right?”

I could only agree with Yui’s words.

“Riku likes me doesn’t he? I mean…. Even if you had no memories of it, I can just try our best to make you head over heels for me. There is no escape route for you, Riku-kun.”

“Well, that is…”

“Riku, does that mean you will love me?”

“Riku-kun, you want to be with me for the rest of eternity, right?”

“…Riku is only mine.”

Seeing their heavy feelings, I lost control of my body and collapsed on the spot.

When I looked up, I saw three bewitchingly beautiful girls with dark expressions on their faces.

The scene brought nothing but tears for me.

Hey, Riku-kun. Just tell the two of us that it was just for fun.”

“Huh? Don’t you realize that it was Wakana and Himeno who were being played with?”

“It’s sad. I’m the only one who likes Riku.”

I can’t say it. Of course, since it’s a game, all three of them can’t say they dropped it just for fun…

However, they are looking at me and threatening to kill me with their eyes alone, if I don’t say something.

Uh, I can’t think of any good ideas to get through this. In that case, I have no choice but to say it.

“I don’t love you all as much as the old Riku does, who was probably in love with you all, but I will do my best to resolve this situation…”

“I see…”

But… My words were interrupted by Wakana.

“I don’t care about all the messy stories and who I like anymore.In short, all I have to do is drop Riku-kun again so he doesn’t attract attention to other women.What I like about you, Riku-kun hasn’t changed at all.”

The two of them nodded at those words.

“That’s true. It doesn’t change the fact that I’m deeply bonded with Riku-kun.”

“Well, I see. Riku is my Riku, so I just need to make him fall in love with me again.”

Ah, What’s with this weird flow? The most important thing will be… Am I forgiven?

“If that’s the case, it’s clear. You’re my beloved Riku, and I can still pursue you, right?”

“Yeah, you are not wrong.”

“Alright. Riku is my Riku, and I can finally pursue him again.”

I felt relieved. It seemed like I was forgiven or the situation was resolved… For now that is.

“Riku?”

“Yes, what is it?”

“We’ll let it slide for now, but I won’t tolerate infidelity, okay?”

Himeno chimed in, “Yeah, Riku, I expect you to stay the same as before,” and Yui nodded as well.
