"Sure," You nodded, "I'll sign anything that's for a good cause."
"Really!" Kiyoko's face lit up, "You'll do it?"
"Of course, that place is special to me after all." You flexed one arm, showing off...your astounding lack of muscles. "You're looking at the monkey bar champion 7-years running. There's no way I can let my title go to the dogs now, can I?" You tried not to cringe at your own words while you added your name to the petition. It was the closest thing you could remember from Kiyoko's intro but honestly, who actually says something like that? You seriously wondered how the original Shujin managed to pull off such cheesy lines without banging his head against the wall.
"Aww, that's adorable." Kiyoko giggled as she took the clipboard back from you. "Well, thank you champ, you don't know how much this means to me. It's a really big help... now, if I could get more people to sign it." She mumbled the last part, but you managed to hear it despite the noisy hallway.
"Oh? I'm not the first person you've asked?" You already knew the answer, but it was still puzzling to see a lack of signatures on the petition.
"No." Kiyoko shook her head, her expression crumbling. "I've been doing this for most of the morning, and I thought the people around here would be more sympathetic, since most of the neighborhood kids still play there. It's just... they don't seem to care at all. Most of the people I've asked are too busy to bother even listening, either they're rushing or looking down at their phones, ignoring me. It's just so frustrating, almost like I'm invisible or something." She growled, stamping her foot.
You blinked and gave her a thorough once-over.
'No, definitely not invisible.'
Kiyoko was a very beautiful girl, scarily so, which made it somewhat difficult for you not to stare at the twin bulges resting atop the clipboard pressed against her stomach.
Damn.
You've said it once before, but you'll say it again; the live 2D had nothing when compared to the real thing. And if a pretty girl like her asked, you doubted any man here would be able to resist doing whatever she wanted.
Which made her petition problem all the more bizarre.
'Unless this is one of the world's correctional forces at work.' Thinking about it now, Kiyoko shouldn't have that problem in the first place given her popularity. It would've been simple for her to collect signatures, at least from her fans in the school's male population. So, the fact that she hasn't been able to acquire any signatures would be the strangest part here. It must be because of Shujin! Since he's the Harem Protagonist, events would be designed for him to make the strongest impression on the heroines. So, by being one of the few people to sign her petition, he'd wind up in her good graces.
That would explain it, though it was something of a dick move to Kiyoko.
(((Shujin, stop. You're staring too much.)))
Huh?
Blinking, only now you realize that Kiyoko was standing a little further away from you, shifting uncomfortably from one foot to the other. Probably because you'd been staring at her like a lovestruck idiot the whole time you were thinking.
'Whoops.'
Definitely not a good sign if you wanted to get on her good side and if Kiyoko had been anything like another particular big-breasted girl you were into...
'Note to self. Do not stare at Izumi like that if I want to avoid having my teeth kicked in.'
(((Noted.)))
Anyways, you needed to get the conversation back on track.
"I seriously doubt it's because of you Kiyoko, just more like you picked a bad time." You gestured around at the busy hallway, "A lot of people are rushing in the morning, heck I was one of them, so I don't think you ought to be fraught about it." And to score some more brownie points, you added. "And just for the record, a pretty girl like you will never ever be invisible to my eyes."
Kiyoko's cheeks pinked at your words, so hopefully you managed to up her affection for you.
Score one for the Harem Protagonist.
"T-That's nice of you to say Shujin." Kiyoko blushed, but you were more than happy to see that she wasn't backing away anymore.
"No. I'm serious. You're really a beautiful girl, Kiyoko." You pushed.
Kiyoko's cheeks burned even redder, but now she was smiling. "Oh, stop it. If I didn't know better, I'd stay you were trying to ask me out." Before you could answer, she shook her head. "Nope. Sorry, Shujin. You're a nice guy and all, but I'm just not ready to be in a relationship yet."
"Darn." You chuckled playfully. "Struck down again."
'Well, I can still try to connect with her over our mutual love of harem manga. At least that's one thing I'm well-verse in.
Again, Kiyoko's eyebrow twitched but you didn't notice.
Just as the conversation began to lull, you had a vague feeling in the back of your mind that you had forgotten something very important and right as you were homing in on it...
"Um, Shujin. Have you considered joining a club yet?"
"Huh?" You dumbly replied. "A club?"
"Mhmm." Kiyoko nodded, pointing to a small badge on her lapel. It was a miniature version of a newspaper, pieces of white stone twined together with gold. "Most clubs like mine provide pins for their members. It's to help make it easier for fellow club members to identify one another. In which case..."
You held very still as she suddenly walked right up to you and leaned forward, her large breasts barely hanging a centimeter away from your chest.
"Since I don't see you wearing a pin, you're not in any clubs right now, are you?" She coyly looked up from her position, presenting you a very ideal view of her face and boobs, which you tried desperately to ignore as your brain tried and failed to come up with something better to say other than "Boobies!"
"I-I'm...ah, actually in a c-club with H-Hotaru." You sputtered, which grew worse as Kiyoko smirked and brought her face closer to yours. That and her perfume did little to help your scrambled thoughts, though you did manage to spit out, "I-It's n-not official though."
"Oh really. Interesting." Kiyoko muttered then hopped away, giving much needed space to try and get your thoughts back in order.
"Well then, Shujin." She raised her pin, "If you're ever interested in joining a club, the newspaper club is always looking for new members that are looking for a good story. So stop by if you get bored with Hotaru's club or if you have a juicy story you just can't bottle up. I'll be waiting."
"I-I'll think about it."
Oh, come on Shujin. Don't get tongue-tied by her.
Kiyoko giggled for some reason then looked up at the clock. Her expression widened as she gave you a quick wave then took off like a bullet. What was her hurr-...
TRILLL!!!
The bell ringing for the start of next period answered your question.
"Oh shit! I'm late!" You yelped and took off.
You can honestly say that being late to class for the second time in a row wasn't an ideal start to your new life.
It was more of a moral issue for you than anything else, but given since last night, you've met people who only existed within the screen on your laptop, you'd be excused for being a little distracted. Thankfully, you were cut some slack as your next teacher was far more laid-back than Matsuno-Sensei.
And far less involved.
His lesson basically boiled down to looking at the map, finding a prefecture, and then listing five or so ways it's different from the surrounding ones. It was so mind-numbingly simple that you finished it in less than 20 minutes, which left you the rest of class to check out some things.
"Open status." you whispered.
Shujin Kou
Title: N/A

Just as you thought.
After completing Kiyoko's intro event, you earned enough exp to level up though you missed the announcement since you'd been preoccupied.
I'm already level 3 now.
In gaming terms, that wasn't anything to brag about, but it still meant that your level was three times higher than it was when you started last night. If you could keep up this pace, then you'll be a high-level stud in no time at all. Not to mention, from what the Narrator said, there were many, many new faces in this world now. So that meant you'll have plenty of opportunities to meet new heroines and grind your level.
And speaking of grinding.
<-4>
You used your remaining points to alter your appearance once again. Nothing blatant like turning your hair neon green, but more subtly changes such as your eye-color and adding an inch to your height. But unlike this morning where the changes were momentary, you were going to test how long you can maintain them. Hopefully, this will net you more exp while conserving your daily charges.
And you still had most of the day left too.
Plenty of time to explore and learn some more about this world.
