(((Holy shit.)))
'Narrator? Where the hell have you been?! Do you know how much I could've used your help earlier? I was talking out my ass! I have expected Jouko and Haruko to both turn on me!'
(((First things first, kid. I wouldn't have been any help there. Second... HOLY SHIT!)))
'I'm getting the feeling that I did something that has surprised you.'
(((Surprised? Kid, that wasn't a surprise. That was a freakin' miracle you pulled off! You broke the game! You weren't supposed to break the game!)))
'Uh... what do you mean I broke the game? That sounds... really, really bad.'
(((Oh, it's not, trust me. It's good! You just did something completely unexpected! You've gone off the rails of the game!)))
'Explain.' After such an action-packed scene, desperately hoping one of the two brawling beauties didn't turn you into a smear on the ground, you weren't really in the mood to here the Narrator give anything less than a complete answer.
(((Okay, I"ll be level with you. What you did wasn't supposed to happen. You were supposed to pick a side- Jouko, or Haruko. You'd lose all chance of being friends- or more- with one while the other would see you in a more favorable light. But instead, you somehow bullshitted your way into a peaceful solution! A genuine 'golden ending!' You ended the scene with not just both girls, but that bodacious babe of a school nurse all thinking highly of you!)))
Huh, so the 'canon' or whatever event you'd supposed to have been following was to essentially lock yourself out of either Haruko or Jouko's 'route' while furthering your 'reputation' with the other.
...Yeah, screw that.
You were the goddamn Harem Protagonist, and you weren't here to break hearts!
(((Well... regardless, I think it's time you checked your stat screen, Shujin. I think you'll like what you find.)))
Your stat screen... oh right.
That whole 'Haruko vs Jouko' thing had definitely counted as a game event, i.e the things you needed to get through to gain exp to level up.

New Achievement Unlocked (2)
>>>>><<<<<
Damn! You'd gained 2 whole levels from that event. It really rang true with what the narrator said- some events were worth more than others. Especially ones like this where there had been an actual threat to your health. You'd also gained a level with your esper- not that it had done much. You assumed there would be a bigger jump when you made the jump up from F rank to EEE rank. As it was, going from a FFF to an F rank still meant that your ability was firmly in the 'trash' category.
You had 4 points to spend on heroine information, not to mention 2 secret points as well.
And you'd gained an achievement. Sweet.
Well, you weren't going to wait around, you wanted to see what it was you'd gotten an achievement for.

Achievements
The Golden Path: You seek out hidden routes, additional scenes, and other happenings that wouldn't otherwise be part of the story, all for your benefit. Effect (Lvl 1): Increased chance of discovering hidden/bonus scenes and events, very rare chance of discovering scenes with bonus/hidden characters
Silver Tongue : Silence is Golden, but speech is silver. Against all odds, you talked your way out of a situation that would've otherwise ended in disaster. Effect: New passive stat screen unlocked for all heroines (Reputation.)
>>><<<
Damn.
Both of those achievements (and there corresponding perks) were very, very good. As a gamer, there was never a time when the possibility of discovering Easter eggs and other bonus content wasn't a good thing, while the other perk... you needed to see how this worked right away!
Opening up your stat screen, you maneuvered to the 'heroine' hub... and there it was!
>>>Heroine Reputation (Lvl 1)<<<
*System Note* Heroine Reputation can be displayed for all heroines at once, or individually.
Jouko: Liked (Part of her gang or not, you're a junior companion of hers, and someone she sees as a friend.)
Mio: Neutral-liked (Doesn't really know you, but still sees you in a favorable light.)
Aki: Liked (A polite young man who tries his best to help others... though he needs to be more careful.)
Ruu: Neutral-Liked (She doesn't really know you, but you seem like a nice guy.)
Satomi: Neutral-Liked (She's always happy to welcome new members to the cooking club... as long as they take it seriously!)
Haruko: Neutral (She can't quite put her finger on it, but you remind her of someone...)
>>><<<
It honestly made your heart sing a bit to see that your reputation was highest with Jouko and Aki of all people. Jouko was... well, a pleasant surprise, but not a huge one. From what the game had told you, she was the type of girl to where her heart on her sleeve. Piss her off and she'd be up in arms to smash your face in. But give her a kind word, befriend her? She could very easily become a steadfast friend of yours.
As for Aki? She was an unknown, and...
One that made your heart race. You didn't know why. You'd never felt anything quite like it. Seeing Aki- and not just her amazing, out-of-this world curves- but her beautiful, angelic face. Her smile. That ability of hers to slip from the kind, gentle nurse to the stern figure of authority that she could be.
She was... enchanting.
*Cough*
Well... you waved the image of Aki's smiling face out of your mind. You needed to be getting home. It wasn't too late in the day, but you needed to see if there was anything in the fridge in your apartment. If not, you'd need to find whatever grocery stores were close by.
Oh, but before you forgot... you had points to spend!
>>>Heroine Information<<<
Haruko Amaya
Age: 19
Height: 167 centimeters
Hobby (1): Practicing Kendo
Well, that wasn't difficult to figure out. She'd been wielding a shinai- a bamboo sword commonly used in kendo- in her fight with Jouko. Not much of a stretch to assume that she'd be deep into kendo.
Jouko Shiri
Esper: Underworld Queen: The authority of a true leader, one who is looked up to, respected, and obeyed by all.
Hmm... okay, you weren't sure what you'd been expecting, but it sounded like Jouko's esper ability amplified her natural charisma. To what extend, you didn't know.
Satomi Beaumont
B/W/H: B/W/130
Damn... Satomi, to put it bluntly, was thicc as fuck. Of course, proportionately her butt wasn't quite as big as Jouko's, but... the sheer height Satomi was packing combined with the overpowering girth of her hips was not to be underestimated. Jouko had some competition when it came to the question of who had the most junk in the trunk!
Ruu Kurokiya
Cup-size: G
Yup, that sounded about right. Ruu was a big, busty girl no doubt... If you hadn't met several other girls who were, quite frankly, much bustier than her, you would've been even more impressed by that cup size. As it was, it was still very impressive.
Mio Jinguuji
B/W/H: 106cm/W/H
Damn, 106cm beat out Jouko's huge pair... and in terms of sheer numbers, she even beat the great Aki herself!
Haruko Amaya
B/W/H: 103cm/W/H
Huh, so Haruko had the same bust measurement as Aki did (though she was probably a cup size down from Aki.)
This new information gave you plenty to think about as you finished your walk home. The Narrator remained silent, seemingly content to let you mull over the events of the day. And what a day it had been- you'd met six different, diverse beauties, each one head-turning and unique in their own right.
It was hard to believe that so much had happened in a single day... honestly? You hoped that tomorrow would be at least a little more laid back. You'd almost met your maker at the hands of Jouko's yakuza goons this morning, and if things had gone bad enough when the yakuza princess had briefly fought with Haruko at the end of the day, you very well could've met your end then too.
'Here's hoping that tomorrow doesn't bring anymore life-threatening situations...'
(((Heh, it sure was interesting to watch, kid. You kept your head high the whole time through! Don't forget what they say- the higher the risk, the higher the reward!)))
You weren't sure if that was really the case here, but... well, you were a genuine harem anime main character now. You'd have to push your limits now and then if you really wanted to reap as many rewards as possible.
Returning home, your apartment was as sparse as it had been this morning. Not a huge deal, it didn't feel too comfortable living in, honestly, but the way you saw it you'd barely be spending any time here anyway. You'd rather spend time exploring the town and getting used to your romcom Isekai life than stay in your little apartment playing video games all day. That could come after you'd met a whole bunch of beauties.
The rest of the evening passed uneventfully- you did in fact have some games for your PC, as well as a console. Where it had come from, you had no idea. As this morning had shown you, you had no memories of having parents in this world, and you didn't have a part time job... so where had the money to purchase all that stuff come from?
Oh well, those were questions for later. Right now, you wanted to get some sleep in. Tomorrow couldn't come quickly enough... who knew what knew adventures (and beauties) the next day would bring!
