"Chitoge! Chitoge, where are you?!"
While Eiji and Yumiko had taken Chitoge to the hotel. Therefore she felt grateful and had a good impression on them, especially Eiji who had carried her for quite a while along the way.
On the other side of the forest, a boy with disheveled black hair was sweating and panting from searching for the whereabouts of his fake girlfriend.
He was the protagonist of Nisekoi, Raku Ichijo.
"Gosh, why can't I find her though..."
He was sure the unconscious bear he found earlier was a victim of Chitoge's fist.
'That bear is pathetic,' he thought.
That meant Chitoge was not far away and since he knew she was afraid of the dark, he would not walk far from the bear's location.
But after searching for about an hour, Raku couldn't find her and he began to worry.
Even though his and the girl's relationship wasn't very good and if it wasn't for the fact that he knew she had disappeared from his friends, he wouldn't have given up the chance to do a guts test with the girl he liked.
Actually considering Chitoge's strength was as strong as a gorilla, Raku had thought not to bother looking for her since she was probably fine.
The proof was that she could knock a bear unconscious with just her fists. But considering Chitoge's fear of the dark that he found out by chance. There was also an uneasy feeling in his heart as if someone would steal something important to her if he didn't go searching for her.
It was strange because Raku thought he didn't even like girls who were rude and liked to beat him up like Chitoge.
Compared to that gorilla, wasn't the gentle and kind Onodera more fragrant?
"Chitoge! Oi Chitoge! Where are you?!"
Even so, his body kept moving to search for her whereabouts. He ran in the dark forest illuminated only by the moonlight and shouted his fake girlfriend's name.
Chitoge would have been moved if she saw that scene but alas— Eiji had found her first.
Raku did not know this and in the end, he returned to where the other students were gathered with a grim face.
"Ichijo-kun, don't worry. I'm sure Kirisaki-san... Ah this, you should drink first."
He did not even notice Onodera who was kindly offering him a drink and trying to comfort him.
The delicate-looking brown-haired beauty froze.
Only after his best friend Shu Maiko said, "Raku! Teacher received news that Kirisaki-san has returned to the hotel!"
"Huh? Really? Is she okay?!"
Raku immediately gripped the boy's shoulder. He did not notice Onodera who looked sad for a moment.
Shu pushed Raku away slightly because his face was too close, he was worried that the girls around misunderstood. "Ehem! Calm down Raku, Kirisaki-san is fine and I heard her leg is only sprained."
"So that's it..." Raku was relieved and his face was no longer gloomy, but he was suddenly curious about something. "You said she sprained her leg? Did she walk back to the hotel alone?"
He felt sorry for his fake girlfriend.
However, Shu shook his head. "No, one of the teachers staying at the hotel said Kirisaki-san was brought back to the hotel by a boy and girl from another school."
"Oh? Good for her. At least Chitoge didn't have to walk to the hotel by herself, those two students from another school helped her."
"Um..." Shu's expression looked awkward.
Raku tilted his head. "What? Was I wrong?"
Shu shook his head and hesitantly said, "It's not entirely wrong but Raku, you're not too possessive, are you?"
"Shu, what do you mean?"
"I mean are you okay with your girlfriend being carried princess-style by another boy?"
"Haha, Shu... do you want to say Chitoge was brought back to the hotel while being carried by another boy?"
Raku laughed because if it was just that, he wouldn't have to feel possessive. Moreover, Chitoge was only his fake girlfriend. Although in the eyes of Shu and the others, they were really dating.
It might be different if the girl being carried princess-style by the other boy was Onodera.
Raku thought that way despite the uneasy feeling in his heart, especially when Shu replied.
"Unfortunately yes, I also heard that happened to Kirisaki-san."
'But Raku, don't worry about NTR. Kirisaki-san must still love you very much...' Shu thought jokingly in his heart, he refrained from saying that to Raku.
He didn't want the boy to worry.
Still, if a girl gets lost in the forest and sprains her leg. Then, a boy found her before her boyfriend and carried her back.
The possibility that the girl develops feelings for the boy who saved her is not low.
Although Shu is not an otaku, he has read ntr manga several times in the past and that's why he...
"..." Raku's smile froze and expression was rather ugly. Although Shu didn't say what he was thinking, he felt very uncomfortable right now.
But as the protagonist in a series like this, he couldn't believe he liked Chitoge to the point of not wanting her to like any boy other than him.
She was just his fake girlfriend.
After all, the girl he likes is the girl who promised to marry him in the past and if he never finds her, his only option is Onodera whom he has had a crush on since junior high school.
There's no way he'd fall for a gorilla like Chitoge!
...
The next day.
Eiji walked out of the hotel with his girls. With the other students and teachers, they were now planning to visit other attractions on Enoshima Island.
For example, the Shinto shrine named Enoshima Shrine, Enoshima Iwaya Caves and Enoshima Sea Candle. Those places were on the list but Eiji wasn't interested and just went along to have fun with his girls.
Remembering his encounter with Chitoge last night...
He didn't forget to remind Miss System to give him a reward. The woman sounded a little reluctant but still did her duty as System.
[Ding! It was detected that the host has changed the plot of "Nisekoi".]
[Successfully changed the plot by 17% by stealing protagonist Raku's chance to find Chitoge who was lost in the forest. You also made Chitoge have a bad impression on her protagonist and made the future where they get married even more distant.]
[You're very cunning, host.]
'Was that last part necessary?' Eiji complained in his heart.
But speaking of Nisekoi, he suddenly remembered that last night was not the first time he learned of the franchise's existence in this world.
A few months ago Miss System had given him a quest like most systems out there. The content of the quest was to obtain protagonist Raku's pendant because it contained SSS-level random items.
But instead of completing the quest itself. Eiji at that time told Alpha to complete the quest for him because he was busy with other plots. After opening the contents of Raku's pendant, the system gave him a notification that he got the World Tree which was his Shadow Garden headquarters now.
It had been a long time so Eiji was a little surprised that he still remembered it.
[I'm also surprised you still remember it, host. There's usually something wrong with your memory.]
'How rude.'
[To answer your question earlier, yes. You deserve to be the Netori protagonist.]
'Thanks I guess?'
[You're welcome to take that as a compliment.]
Having a sarcastic system like Miss System was the luck of his life.
Therefore the reward this time would definitely be outstanding and wouldn't disappoint her host, right?
[Complimenting me in this situation won't get you any good rewards, host. Did you forget that every reward from the System is random?]
Hearing the word 'random', Eiji was numb. The method of sucking up to Miss System to get good rewards didn't work, he seemed to only be able to rely on other methods.
What method was that?
It was easy, he just needed to hold the hand of one of his women. And it just so happened that the one of them closest to him at the moment was...
"Eiji, don't be naughty. We're in a public place right now. Are you still not satisfied with last night's exercise?" A girl with long black hair and a face as beautiful as a fairy, Yukino glared at her fiancé.
However, the students not far from them could see the blush on her cheeks. To make the ice princess of the famous 2-J class blush like that, Eiji was truly extraordinary.
At least in the eyes of the girls.
As for the eyes of the boys? Many of them cursed him with envy and wished he would explode!
"Yukino, I just want to hold my beautiful fiancée's hand. Do you think I'll do naughty things like I did to you last night?" Eiji said and he couldn't help but remember that last night— he didn't just fuck Yumiko. After they returned to the hotel, he teleported to his girls' bedroom and chose to exercise with Yukino in front of the others.
"What are you saying?! Eiji, don't say that here... What if other students and teachers hear it? You..." Yukino panicked and was eager to shut up her fiancé's mouth.
Despite not saying it explicitly, others who heard Eiji's words would probably guess what he did to her last night.
Right now Yukino even still felt something warm churning inside her stomach. That's right, last night they had sex and as usual, they did not skip anal.
If she took off her skirt and panties now, the students walking behind them would see her gaping butt hole.
'Eiji, you're so perverted!'
Yukino complained in her heart and bit her thin lips.
However, there was also a sweetness in her heart when the boy chose to hold hands with her instead of Lala and the other girls.
"Don't worry, I made a soundproof barrier around us."
"Is that so? That makes me relieved." Yukino sighed even though she could neither see nor feel the so-called soundproof barrier.
But considering the various abilities her fiancé had, she believed what he said and let him hold her hand.
His hand was so big that it made her hand seem small, but it also gave her a sense of safety.
Yukino's cold expression melted away and she smiled, her smile was so beautiful that the men on the street who saw her were mesmerized.
Ignoring the envious and spiteful gazes around him, Eiji was finally ready to get his reward from Miss System.
'Let's continue.'
[Let me be clear, what you do now does not affect what reward you will get.]
'That means my reward is not random and has been determined by you, Miss System.
[No, it's random.]
Miss System refuted her host stubbornly.
Eiji didn't believe her and in the end—
[Congratulations host, you got 1 Plot Revision Card.]
Plot Revision Card?
The reward this time was disappointing even though Eiji was sure Yukino's luck wasn't bad. But after he checked the description of the card, he suddenly realized that it wasn't so bad.
The Plot Revision Card was just like its name, it allowed him to revise the plot of any franchise to his liking. Although there were exceptions such as plots that had already happened could not be changed, but Eiji found that he could also add a plot.
For example in the past Chitoge and the other heroines of Nisekoi not only made a promise to the protagonist Raku and when they met again as adults— they would fulfill that promise including their promise to marry him.
When they were young and childish, they also made a promise to a blond boy who was very handsome and his name was...
Eiji laughed and felt amused in his heart.
[Should I use it for that? Hm...]
The heroines: Using what? Eiji, you're suspicious.
[Forget it. I can save it for the future but if it's Nisekoi, I'm still confident in my good looks and charm, there's no heroine who won't fall in love with me.]
You're so narcissistic!
The heroines including Yukino who was looking at Eiji flatly thought like that.
However, there was also a beautiful girl with blonde hair tied in a ponytail style with a red ribbon who ran towards their group from the direction of the beach.
She was wearing a dark blue school swimsuit that not only showed off her fair skin, but also her super model curves.
She seemed to be a girl from another school.
Right now, the male students and even the protagonist like Hachiman could not help but look at her with admiration.
But when hearing someone's name coming out of her mouth...
"Eiji, wait a minute!"
Eiji? Why that bastard again? Do they know each other?!
The male students who were almost in love felt their hearts clogged and depressed instantly.
Many of them even began to think there was no beautiful girl in this world who didn't know Eiji.
"Chitoge, what a coincidence. Your leg seems to have healed... I'm glad to see it." While ignoring Yukino who was pinching his palm, Eiji looked at Chitoge's figure especially her long legs and thought it was beautiful.
"It's thanks to the medicine you gave me last night, Eiji. Thank you."
Last night Eiji and Yumiko didn't just take Chitoge to the hotel. Before leaving, the former gave her a medicine produced by Mitsugoshi Company.
It was actually a miracle medicine but Chitoge didn't know because Eiji was in no hurry to tell her about his superpower.
Still, hearing the conversation about the healed leg and the medicine between the two of them. The male and female students who had enough imagination, they couldn't help but misunderstand and think Eiji and Chitoge had done something last night.
That's something perverted!
"You're welcome. Are you and the students at your school done with your camp activities? You're now wearing a swimsuit that looks good on you." Eiji didn't care at all about the misunderstanding that the people around him thought.
"Ah, yes... It's just a school swimsuit and because of what happened to me last night, the teachers at my school decided to stop our camp activities. Now we're having fun at the beach."
Chitoge didn't realize the misunderstanding that existed in the minds of the people in Eiji's group, she was happy and a little embarrassed that Eiji complimented her swimsuit.
That means he thinks she's pretty, right?
Although she was curious who the beautiful girl was holding hands with Eiji, she didn't think too much because now she had other more important things to ask.
"By the way Eiji, can we exchange LINE ids? I owe you a favor and want to treat you or something but not now."
"Oh, sure." Eiji happily took out his cell phone and exchanged contacts with Chitoge.
Last night they had forgotten to do so although in his mind, it was easy for him to meet her again afterwards since he had smuggled one of his shadow soldiers into her shadow.
That was the equivalent of planting a tracking device.
...
Looking at Chitoge who was talking and laughing with a blonde boy in the distance, Raku's focus was distracted and he felt a little pain in his heart.
He wondered if it was the boy who had saved Chitoge last night?
Even so, why did Chitoge look happy and smile like that when talking to him?
Did she forget she already had a boyfriend? Even if it was a fake boyfriend, she still had to maintain their image in front of the public!
Raku was dissatisfied, he didn't realize he was angry and even jealous that Chitoge was seen close to another boy.
In the original work he never felt that way because none of the boys were his love rivals. But in this life?
"Raku, watch out!"
*Bang!*
"Ugh..." A volleyball crashed into his face, Raku groaned in pain and covered his face with his hands. His nose might have been broken.
"Kyaa! Ichijo-kun, your nose is bleeding!"
He heard Onodera's worried voice, he was usually very happy even though he was in pain.
However, he was now very sad.
Chitoge didn't even glance at him despite Onodera's quite loud shout, she was still busy talking to another boy.
Why?
Does she not care about him?!
Protagonist Raku roared in his heart. From Eiji's point of view, his face was green.
