*I know that this even in-game takes place when Shujin is walking back home, but... meh. I'm flipping it for this chapter.*


With a yawn, you stretched your stiff arms and rolled your neck. Another day was starting. It was still weird having to get used to the fact that your life revolved around the game so much- you could go through 'normal' days just fine, but you currently could only have 2-3 interactions before feeling completely wiped out (what would've counted as an event back in your old world, when this was just a game you were playing.)

Breakfast was a mundane affair; a bowl of cereal and a banana later, and you were out the door!

Today was going to be special, you could feel it! Well, more special than yesterday.

You were heading down the street on your way to school at a light jog, and decided to take a shortcut across town by heading through the local park.

There weren't many people out, as everyone your age was on their way to school, but there was one other girl here at the park. She had her back turned to you, so you couldn't quite make out too many details about her, but you could see her short uniform skirt swishing about her hips as she walked.

Something tingled in the back of your mind.

'Narrator? Any input?'

Your 'spirit companion' stayed silent, though you detected a distinctly amused air from him.

Fine, if he wasn't going to give you any advice, you'd just have to trigger the event and go in blind.

The girl wasn't Hotaru or Ava; her hair was too dark. She was also way taller than either of them. Taller than Kiyoko too, you observed, as you drew closer to her. There was maybe 30 feet/10 meters between you now.

Not as tall as Ai, but you were willing to bet that no other girl at your school was as tall as the soccer stall.

There was something else about her that stuck out.

Blue hair. Short, dark blue hair, with a red ribbon.

Wait.

You knew that hairstyle.

Was... was your mouth going dry? Your pulse felt like it had abruptly skyrocketed.

You could see two humongous bulges jutting out from the girl's uniform shirt; so massive that you could even see their rotund bulk when her back was turned to you.

If you didn't have the context, you might've assumed that she was carrying something large and heavy.

But you DID have context.

This was, without a doubt, Izumi Aoyama.

Fate was smiling down on you.

As you approached her, your only thoughts were of how to talk to her and introduce yourself as a cool, suave, confident gentleman! You'd raise her affection through the roof and be on your way to having the hottest, bustiest girl in school as your girlfriend!

You would miss getting the wonderful experience of crashing into Izumi's overinflated airbags, but the benefits down the line would pay off; you remembered that she was more than willing to give Shujin in the game a feel once their relationship progressed to the point where she was comfortable getting a little physical with you.

Which was great on one hand, because Izumi was absolutely your ideal girlfriend. But more important was because you'd played the game; and you knew what Izumi wanted out of life. And you were willing to go above and beyond to see to it that she and all the other lovely ladies of Harem Protagonist achieved their dreams!

Of course, fate and fortune had other plans for you. Rather than easing into a conversation with Izumi as planned, you miraculously managed to trip over nothing! A startled yelp left your mouth, and Izumi turned in surprise at the noise from just behind her...

*BWUMPH*

For a brief moment, the park was completely still, the silence broken only by the muted sound of your face squishing into Izumi's chest, the pillowy surface indenting as you sank up to your ears in her glorious, blessed bosom!

...The 2.5d game didn't do this justice. The scene had been comedy mixed with some light erotic elements, but this?

Getting a face-full of Izumi's boobs in the flesh? Feeling the texture of her shirt around your face? Smelling the faint lavender scent of her body wash? Hearing her heartbeat rippling through her doughy bosom?

This was a bonafide religious experience!

"Agh! Get off of me, you pervert!"

And then the moment was lost as Izumi shoved you out of her chest. Light flooded back into your eyes now that those huge boobs weren't greedily swallowing up your field of vision.

Okay... you'd intended on avoiding the canon introduction to Izumi, or at least partially. That had completely failed. At least you hadn't dug yourself deeper by pulling the classic anime ecchi protagonist gimmick of landing with your hands on her boobs as well.

...Izumi probably would've knocked you out cold if that had happened.

As it was, you were left standing in front of the girl, who was attempting to cover her chest with her arms as she leveled a red-faced glare at you. You knew your own cheeks were probably a bit pink right now; who could blame you after getting such an experience? Accidental or not, motorboating the biggest sets of tits you'd ever seen was a life-changing experience!

...Izumi was hot even when she was angry.

Too bad that anger was leveled at you. Hopefully you could diffuse the situation peacefully.

"What kind of guy do you think you are, running straight into a girl's chest like that?! You can't go falling into my boobs like they're a pair of pillows for you to play with!"

"I-I'm sorry! It was an accident, I swear!" The words might've been a spot-on match for one of the lines from the game, but it didn't change the fact that they were how you honestly felt. You held out hope that you'd hear the telltale sound of fabric stretching, maybe see the buttons on Izumi's tight-fitting shirt start to pull apart, but no luck. Fair enough, considering how tense the first meeting with her was, you were willing to bet that it would be pretty hard to raise her affection here. You knew from experience that it was possible, but you'd have to be careful to not lose affection with Izumi instead!

Though...

Odd. In game, Izumi had shot your apology down pretty quickly. Here, though, she was biting her lip, her glare having turned into a stern frown. Was... was she actually considering accepting the apology?

"Well... you did look pretty out of sorts, at least from the glimpse I got of your dumb mug when you were falling. So... maybe you didn't do it on purpose! BUT! That still doesn't prove that you aren't a pervert! Why were you walking so close to me, anyways, Mr 'Mountain Climber?'

That was a plus; Izumi was still clearly unhappy but she didn't seem like she was about to clock you over the head. As for what she just said... Mountain Climber? What?

It was your turn for your face to go red as the meaning dawned on you, and despite the situation, you saw a smug smile start to form on Izumi's face.

There was a sudden sound, so faint and soft that you almost missed it. Maybe it was the sound of fabric being pulled tighter by a minute amount; maybe it was just a trick of the wind. Either way, you didn't see any noticeable increase to the twin marshmallows jutting out from Izumi's torso.

"Oh ho... Looks like that got your attention. That just proves that you enjoyed getting up close and personal with my boobs, you perv!"

"I'm not a pervert! Anyone would have a... a reaction to something like that!" You responded, trying to keep the stutter out of your words. You needed to present a confident image here; if Izumi walked all over you then you really would look like just another horndog student to her.

"Hrm... maybe, maybe not. What's your name, then? Unless you want me to keep calling you Mr Mountain Climber," Izumi smiled down at you, and for some reason you felt rather like a mouse in the paws of a playful cat. Also, you were write about earlier- Izumi was tall. No Ai levels of tall, but you definitely had to look up to meet her in the eye. There were a good several inches between the two of you.

"It's Shujin. Shujin Kou." You said, gathering your wits about you.

The blue-haired bombshell was silent for a moment before responding.

"Izumi Aoyama. Judging by your uniform, we go to the same school. Well... behave yourself around me, and maybe I won't have to sock you into next week. Got it? I might not be so merciful next time you get lost in the Aoyama mountain range!" Izumi smiled slyly, and your heart practically skipped a beat at how gorgeous she was when she smiled.

Izumi evidently mistook your awe for intimidation, chuckling softly.

"Oh, you don't need to look like a dear in the headlights, Shujin. I'm pretty good at reading people, and you don't seem like most of the guys at school. At least when you got a feel of my boobs, it was accidental, unlike the crap some of those jerks try and pull."

Man, you didn't know why, but you were ready to get down on your knees and thank every god out there that Izumi was in such a good mood this morning. That was the only reason you could think of for why she'd been so accepting of your apology, and for how quickly things had turned around. The gain to her bust had been minimal, maybe a single centimeter at most, but what mattered here was that you hadn't lost any affection with her. In other words, you'd avoided the more negative start of the canon game.

But... maybe there was still time to try and bump up your 'score' with Izumi? The event technically hadn't ended yet, she was walking away from you with her wide hips swinging distractingly, almost like she was purposefully teasing you...

Shaking your head to clear your thoughts (and focus on something other than Izumi's broad hips,) you made a choice.
