There is something wrong with my dating simulator

For the sake of easier understanding, let's call her Karasuma Chitose here.

In the game, Karasuma Chitose is a girl who likes to spend her youth and sweat.

"So at this time, you should cater to their interests and choose to join a sports club."

In real life, Karasuma Chitose also got into the mood while playing.

However, the track and field club in the game can only be joined in the first semester, and Lin Yuanshan was still training hard at that time.

So now the only option is to join the "Baseball Club".

"According to this logic, between Chitose-chan's invitation and the baseball club's activities, I should choose the baseball club activities, right? After all, Chitose-chan likes motivated boys."

"It seems to be right, but I always feel like something is not right..."

"Next is this. The baseball team has made it to the Kanto Tournament. There's no reason not to participate in the training camp at this time, so the fireworks festival with Chitose-chan during the summer vacation..."

"Woo---For the dream of my senior, the memories of a summer vacation are nothing!"

Karasuma Chitose, who had already entered into the role, seemed to have returned to a dream in a trance.

Kaguya and Hayasaka, who were observing from the side, started a private chat channel.

Hayasaka: Do you feel that Lin-kun seems to be becoming a bit weird?

Kaguya: Its true colors are about to be revealed. In my dream, that devilish succubus was also like this!

Meanwhile, in the game.

"Chitose-chan, I'm sorry, our baseball club made it to Koshien, so our trip to the beach with you has to be canceled!"

"Woo---A mere trip to the seaside is nothing. For the dream of my senior, I am willing to do anything!"

Hayasaka: This is so scary. I feel like Chitose-chan is being controlled by something. Could it be hypnosis?

Kaguya: This is the method used by the evil succubus. He will lead you by the nose without you even realizing it!

in the game.

"Chitose-chan, since I've already made it to Koshien, you should work harder and try to make it to the national meet in track and field, right?"

"I...I will try my best!"

Hayasaka: It's begun. This scene seems familiar!

Kaguya: The style of painting is becoming more and more weird, but what is going on with this game? The direction of the plot seems a bit wrong, right?

in the game.

"Chitose-chan, what do you mean by those tears? Do you think you can make it to the national tournament just by crying? Cheer up and run another hundred laps!!!"

"My body has exploded!"

Then, the plot that popped up in the game was:

Chitose-chan died suddenly during your devilish training.

Lin Yuanshan put down the mouse and said dissatisfiedly:

"Chitose-chan's body, after all the hard work, isn't that fragile... Ahem, the human body is really fragile. Overtraining is not a good idea."

I always feel like... he was possessed by something strange just now.

However, the story does not end here.

The death of Chitose-chan allowed Lin Yuanshan to turn his grief and anger into strength, and he led the baseball team to win the championship in the subsequent Koshien.

At the end of the game, there is a photo of the bald protagonist standing on the podium wearing the No. 1 jersey.

The message at the end seems to come from the producer---

"So love is not all there is to youth. Enjoy the rest of your youth with passion, young man!"

"What did you put in the dating game? No wonder it was hidden! There are too many private goods!!!"

Lin Yuanshan's fierce complaints finally dispelled the doubts of the two girls in the room.

Kaguya: Come to think of it, this game is the most evil one, right? The producer doesn't believe in school love at all.

Hayasaka: I heard that this producer really likes evil and dark elements, so after making this game, he was assigned to design the story of Yu-Gi-Oh cards.

Kaguya: So did we misunderstand Lin-kun?

Hayasaka: It seems...right?

Karasuma Chitose made a summary complaint:

"We should send this kind of thing back to Konami and seal it away forever."

In this way, Lin Yuanshan once again avoided the crisis of identity exposure in reality.

But the pace of simulation will not stop there.

[Name: Lin Yuanshan]

[The subjects of this simulation: Sawamura, Spencer, Eriri]

[Introduction to the simulated object: A mixed-race English-Japanese student who attends the public Toyosaki Academy. A textbook tsundere character with a strong loser vibe. Just getting close to her may turn you into misfortune.]

【Simulation starts】

["Touka Kotori's Blessing" has taken effect. You have acquired the skill --- Paper Making Level 4 (Paper Master)]

This time the skill is surprisingly normal, and is related to Eriri's field of "painting"!

The simulator has finally changed!

[You used Hayasaka Ai's blessing]

[You replaced Lock Picking lv3; Dark Domination lv4; Dark Emperor Studies lv3; Slacking lv4]

[You have acquired the following skills: Electroplate engraving lv5; Fake painting lv5; Intaglio printing lv4; Color-changing ink modulation lv4]

Although this time's skills sound a bit weird, they are all related to painting!

Lin Yuanshan, who was completely unaware of the potential crisis, felt that the simulator had really changed its nature this time!

[You happily circled the relic, merit +1]

[You used the blessing of the Great Cute God to temporarily upgrade the fake painting level 5 to level 6]

This time, there is no need for Shibasaki Manye's blessing, and the skills obtained from the simulator are all very useful.

In my memory, Ying Lili is an R18 artist. In the last simulation, she wanted to transform and get on the shore.

With this set of skills to help her, why should she worry about not being able to achieve her goals?

After achieving his goal, why would he, a master of dream building, worry about not winning her heart?

Lin Yuanshan felt that this simulation would definitely be stable!

There has never been such a wonderful start!

【Simulation starts】

[With confidence, you arrange to transfer to the public Toyosaki Academy]

[You used the blessing of the Yamada Fairy]

[You learned Eriri's secret: she once drew a perfect original painting before she fell ill, but after she recovered, she could not reproduce the state at that time. She wanted to become the world's top original painter through her own efforts.]

[You suddenly came up with an idea to help her become a top original artist]

[You think that there is only one protagonist among a million people in the world, and the protagonist is someone who can reach the pinnacle, but first you have to find the right stage. Ying Lili fell into a trough just because she didn't find the right direction]

[As long as the stage is right, Eriri's dream of becoming the world's top original artist will definitely come true]

Chapter 82: Money means you can do whatever you want

The summer comic market is the world's largest doujinshi sale held in Neon Tokyo, and is also jokingly called the "holy war" by industry insiders.

Generally, those who can get fixed stalls are often large-scale doujinshi clubs. However, as the doujinshi industry has become increasingly commercialized in recent years, some small clubs that are purely motivated by interest are finding it increasingly difficult to survive.

For today's fan industry, the prosperous times created by the short-lived "three miracles" are just like the Tang Dynasty after the An-Shi Rebellion. It is difficult to restore its former prosperity.

However, even if the quality of the works is getting worse year by year, it cannot stop the enthusiasm of the majority of comic fans, especially those of R18 works, for Xia Comic itself.

Many foreigners traveled across the ocean to Japan and queued up all day just to bring a doujinshi back to their hometown.

Therefore, doujinshi should be regarded as the national treasure of Japan, just like special effects dramas.

In the crowd, Eriri, who participated in the fan festival as the famous R18 work painter "Hakata Eri", was just an insignificant part of this event.

At this time, she welcomed an impressive guest.

"Teacher Kashiwagi's R18 works are still delicate. Give me ten copies first."

At first, Eriri thought that the boy with the mosquito-coat-shaped round-frame glasses was just an ordinary fanatical fan.

But when the boy picked up the trial version of the work suitable for all ages placed next to the stall, his aura suddenly changed.

"What's up with this half-baked stuff? Unskilled storyboards, clichéd plots, and character designs that don't capture the essence of the story at all. Is this the work of a junior in the club? I suggest you don't list it here, Mr. Kashiwagi, so as not to affect the sales of other works."

The boy left this sentence and left.

When we met again, it was on the podium of Class G, Year 2, Toyosaki Academy.

"Hello everyone, my name is Lin Yuanshan, and I am an anime geek who loves all kinds of anime works. If you have the same hobby, you are welcome to communicate with me."

The new transfer student, who was wearing thick mosquito coil-shaped glasses, used his strange habit of speaking to reveal the truth that Eriri had been afraid to say since she entered school.

As soon as he entered school, he generously expressed his hobbies.

But as we all know, in high schools in Japan, once you become associated with "anime otaku", you will basically have no chance of living a real life.

If a person calls himself an anime otaku and is in a high school that does not place much emphasis on further studies, he or she will encounter another level of trouble.

Until the end of school that day, no so-called "like-minded people" came to find Lin Yuanshan.

Eriri might be one of them, but she has always maintained the persona of a "young lady" in the academy and will not abandon her persistence at this time.

In Japan's high school campus, if you actively portray yourself as a "herbivore weakling", then unless you really find a lot of people who share the same interests as you, your high school life will probably be unhappy.

The newcomer Lin Yuanshan is the ironclad evidence.

After school.

"Hey, you brought something weird to school, didn't you? I saw it, take it out."

"???"

Facing the tall blond delinquent and the two watchmen behind him,

Lin Yuanshan once wondered if he had transferred to Suzuran High School.

But the bad guy on the opposite side ignored him and snatched his schoolbag directly and poured out the contents.

Mixed in between the textbooks are doujinshi works from the famous R18 artist Hakumu Eri.

And there are three books in total.

The blond bad boy flipped open a doujinshi and showed the large-scale LR scenes in it to all the classmates who had not left the class yet.
