Another sudden philosophical chapter
Harem Protagonist: CHYOA
Chapter 24
Damn, what a day. Your first day in your new life as an anime (hopefully) harem protagonist had not been a boring one. You'd met multiple beauties, fiddled around with a basic but budding honest-to-God superpower, and conversed with a metaphysical voice in your head.
Oh, and you'd gone to school like a regular teenager, too. That kinda paled in comparison to all the other stuff.
And this wasn't going to be a one off thing either, no- this was going to be your life from now on!
Well... maybe as time went on it would be less meeting bodacious beauties and simply interacting with them. If you truly were the Harem Protagonist, then did that really mean that if you made certain choices you could end up with a whole lot of loving girlfriends? That was... that was an intimidating thought. But not one that you were going to back down from! You'd made your wish to live in this world, and damn it you were going to do everything you could to be the perfect harem protagonist! You weren't the Shujin Kou from canon, you were... well, your name was still Shujin Kou. But you were better than the original- you knew more about the canon heroines than he did, and even more importantly, you were a self-aware ecchi anime protagonist. Which meant you were going to do everything you possibly could to avoid falling into the classic pitfalls that stereotypical romcom protagonists got caught in.
No getting smacked around by overreacting tsundere-types or moronically trying to peep on girls you knew can (and would) kick your ass for it!
But of course, you'd be lying if you said you wanted to completely avoid everything that happened to ecchi anime/romcom protagonists.
The 'lucky idiot' events, for one. Stuff like tripping and falling right into a girl's well-developed chest, or seeing a girl's skirt flipping from a sudden strong gust of wind...
The kind of thing that you could reasonably explain to a (probably irate) beauty as you just being in the wrong place at the wrong time. You weren't going to go around looking to cause trouble, but you definitely wouldn't object if it fell right into your lap!
Now that you thought about it, you'd actually experienced a few of those 'lucky idiot' scenarios today! Mio's shirt popping open had been glorious, those massive mountains of soft, supple flesh getting partially exposed in front of you (even if it had hurt a bit getting nailed in the eyes by her flying buttons.)
And Ruu had given you a similar sight, though her (still very large) chest was definitely smaller than Mio's massive pair.
But did it still count when you'd engineered both events?
Eh... you weren't going to think on it too hard. Part of you having this size-changing power in the first place was, per the Narrator, to use in situations like those. To open up new possibilities and outcomes that the original Shujin Kou would never have been able to see!
The world was your oyster! And if you acted smart (or at least, not like a drooling horndog), you had a very likely chance of befriending (or more) the many beauties of this world!
You'd scene some real knockouts today, your new acquaintances Ruu and Satomi (it seemed a bit too early to label them as friends, but you hoped that would change in the next week or two.) Then there was Mio, the kindly, caring, mega-busty student council president. Jouko, the bodacious, beautiful booty-full yakuza princess.
And then there was her.
Aki Nijou. She'd damn near stolen your breath away when you'd first met her, and even thinking of her now your heart felt like it was beating harder against your chest.
Her sensual voice, gorgeous, angelic face- a mature beauty which the other girls, all within a year or two of your age, simply didn't have. And then of course there was the fact that proportionately she had the single biggest set of boobs you'd ever laid eyes on!
Seriously, those melons of hers were huge! Hmm... that didn't do the size of her chest justice. Earlier, you'd compared Mio's pair to being like a pair of volleyballs ballooning out from her chest (which was probably an exaggeration, you'd been pretty excited at the time.) In all seriousness, exaggerations aside, Mio's chest- that was, each breast- was still roughly the size of her head. Which put simply, was enormous.
And Aki was even bustier than that- the simplest, bluntest way to state the facts here was that Aki Nijou, one of your school nurses- had tits that were slightly bigger than her own head! That was crazy- back in your old world, you'd never seen a woman with such outrageous curves!
You were so caught up in your thoughts, thinking about the curvy hotties you'd met today that you almost bumped into someone.
Blinking, you realized that you'd walked all the way back to the school gates! The person you'd almost bumped into was a rather short brown haired girl, cute enough and modestly curvy, but not someone who stood out in anyway. Just another one of the infinite background characters who'd show up in any romcom set at a school.
Now that was an interesting thing to think about- your school was a huge place, but counting yourself and however many heroines there were, you doubted that even amounted to one percent of the school's population. Hell, if this school for Espers had a population as big as Aki had indicated that it did, then you and the heroines probably weren't even one percent of one percent of the population! Which meant that for every one heroine there was probably well over a hundred 'background characters!'
(((Well, duh. That's just that kind of logic that goes unspoken. We can't spend every chapter describing every single classmate in detail, the story would never go anywhere. Think of it this way- every anime- the romcoms especially- have plenty of nameless background characters. Now, the guys might be drawn pretty diverse, but when was the last time you remember watching an anime where any of the female background characters were ugly?)))
That was an interesting question. And one that you genuinely couldn't answer.
(((That's right- it's an unspoken rule of anime- unless she's story relevant, and thus likely has a glow-up later on, almost no female background characters are ugly. So at a school like this you'll see hundreds, if not thousands of girls and women that are cute or hot... but not so much that they take your attention away from the heroines.)))
'Huh... but isn't calling them background characters kind of mean?'
(((Shujin, think of it this way- every person is the protagonist of their own story. Just because this world was... *ahem* 'tailored' for you, that doesn't mean that it revolves around you. If you got turned into roadkill by a bus tomorrow, the world wouldn't suddenly cease to exist. Life would carry on like normal. And that's how it is for everyone your brain labels as a 'background' character. They have their own lives to live, their own dreams to pursue. But because they'll rarely come into contact with you- or only talk to you in passing- they'll never be more than a background character to you. Seriously though... don't go playing in traffic. I don't want to be out of work this early.)))
You just rolled your eyes at the Narrator's comment. Still, the rest of his lecture had been interesting. Eyeing the girl in front of you (not in a creepy way, you just quickly scanned her. She couldn't tell, seeing as she had her back turned to you.) Unassuming in every way. Brown hair that wasn't quite shoulder-length, clothes that were a perfectly normal, unmodified school uniform. A face that you couldn't see at the moment but had caught a brief glimpse of- cute, but in a, well... a normal way.
This had been an interesting conversation, and one that was long enough you were glad that everybody's attention was squarely away from you. Whatever was going on in front of the crowd had to be pretty attention-grabbing. Not that you were complaining, it would've been awkward for people to look at you and wonder why you'd (apparently) been staring aimlessly into space for a whole minute.
This was real life, not an anime- that fact had been pounded into your head several times today. In real life, there were no 'background characters.' All these people who, in a proper anime, would've had non-speaking roles, or one or two lines at most, were other thinking, breathing human beings!
What a heck of a first day. If you hadn't been meeting some legendary beauty, you'd been experiencing a mind-altering revelation.
Hopefully tomorrow didn't throw any more philosophical curve balls at you.
In other words, she was just a normal girl in an anime universe. No crazy plot to follow, ecchi shenanigans to take part in, super powers (beyond whatever her esper trait was) or supernatural occurrences to explore.
She was part of a big crowd standing near the front gates. There were a few taller people in front of you, and you couldn't see past them. You could hear some kind of commotion coming from the gates, and it sounded like... female voices? Raised, possibly angry...
What was going on?
1) You've spend enough time debating complex matters with the Narrator- back to the story! Squeeze through the crowd to see what's going on in front of the gate! (RESERVED)
2) Not wanting to deal with the crowd, you head for one of the other gates to the school (there's more than one because of it's size.) Maybe you'll run into someone else there?
3) Have some fun at Miss NPC's the brown-haired girl's expense. How rude, she has a name, you know! Use up ALL your remaining Mind points for the day on her... body, not her clothes!. Hit and run style- swell her curves/increase her height then stealthily sneak away!
