CH 1

Chapter 1: I remember a lot.

It was then I realized I love Yuri. Not the flower, but the genre, the genre where girls love other girls. Furthermore, the relationship does not have to be romantic. Whether it’s simply friendship, rivalry, jealousy, or envy. It’s all okay as long as strong feelings from women collide. If anything, I could still enjoy it even if it is an unrequited love.

Despite being a girl, I love Yuri more than eating. 

It was a week before I entered the new semester of my second year of high school that I remembered the memories of my previous life. My cringy life as a serious Yuri otaku with a painful desire to see it all.

The trigger was watching a late-night anime on TV. An anime that I don’t often watch, but it showed a particular event. At the moment I saw a kissing scene between two girls it all came back. The dirty information rushed into my head. As expected, being a serious yuri otaku was really revolting to remember. But why then, does it feel so right.

However, that doesn’t matter at this point. The problem is something I noticed with the knowledge of my past life.

“. . .No way. I’m, “Shiori Sugimura(杉村詩織)!””

I absorbed yuri from all over the world! In my previous life, I ravagedly pursed Yuri words regardless of medium. 2D, 3D, anything, but my favorite work is called “Fragmented Rhapsody(未完成ラプソディ)”

The protagonist is “Aoi Shinamoto 島本葵“(Obviously a girl). She enrolls in Yurinomiya Girl’s High school(百合ノ宮女子高校) and could fall in love with her childhood friend, or a Senior in Club Activities, or a mixed race girl from another school. It’s a pretty standard plot for a dating simulator.

Although it was a doujin game, it had as good of quality as any commercial work. You could enjoy multiple endings where likability fluctuates depending on choices and the story changes based on the flags you set. Moreover, the art is cute. It’s amazing.

And the name of the senior in the club is. . .Shiori Sugimura. Aka me.

She belongs to the art club in Yuri Nomiya’s Girl’s High School. Barely a Second Year Student. Long Half Up fluffy black hair, and a well kept appearance. A clean face, and large breasts. She was the mischievous older sister character.

“No no no no no, this is too weird! What am I a character in a video game?!??! I mean, I have memories of my previous life until it suddenly stopped at the age of 26, but when did I die!? Did I really devote my life to Yuri and die without even falling in love?”

After graduating from a decent university, I became a math teacher at a prep school while also working as a tutor as a side job. . .Why! Geeze, it wasn’t that I wasn’t popular at all, but did I live until I was 26 and die without even falling in love. That’s so disappointing.

“But if this is really the same game world, then I will meet the protagonist in the near future. And there is a possibility that a coercive force of the game world will happen and force me to fall in love with her? That’s a little. . .”

In my previous life I loved yuri, but I wasn’t gay, and I’ve never seen a girl in that light. I had few crushes, but I wanted to one day fall in love with a gentle handsome man.

Above all, the main character is a strong guardian character, but I don’t want to get involved at all.

Oh yeah, the Protagonist’s childhood friend and the main heroine of the game. Her name is “Koharu Wakashima 若島こはる” a character who has knew the protagonist since childhood.

If the story goes as normal then it’s highly likely one of the three Koharu endings will happen. The other two are normal types, a happy ending and a bad ending, there is also a true ending. But there is a significant gap in the contents of the endings.

It almost always appears when the other heroines have conflicting love flags raised. They break each other and alter the story. So they are often called “Flag Crushers” or “Iron Defense.” Among fans. Most are light hearted bittersweet. However, Koharu. She is Aoi’s stalker.

There is a bad ending in which Koharu, who has become full yandere, pulls a knife and attacks the beautiful mixed girl form another school “Fujioka Sara藤岡紗良”. This happens when Koharu’s love score is high while doing the Sara route.

There is also a bad ending with Shiori and Koharu. But both end with a normal friendship ending. For some reason only with Sara does it end bloody. Why! Sara was my favorite!

Koharu is the demon-like guard. In my playthrough I was enjoying the story, Little by little as Sara was getting closer, a murder event happened right after I thought it was going to be a happy ening. My heart nearly stopped at that time.

I thought Kaharu’s obsession with Aoi was huge, but who would have expected the gentle homely character to be a Yandere? More over with the picture of crime. It’s ridiculous! Who would want that!

“I don’t want to be inadvertently close to Aoi and be stabbed by Koharu out of resentment. I’ll leave Aoi’s so her partner will be Koharu, and I’ll keep my peaceful life.  . .But is there a possibility that Sara would be stabbed by Koharu?”

It was a really bad awakening. If things move according to the game, it’s Sara who is stabbed, not me, that’s still really dangerous. I want to help if I can, and I’m also curious to see the real Sara.

“I don’t know if it will even happen, but it’s a good idea. Alright I’ll do my best to help!”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Sara Fujioka” a so-called Kuudere character. At first she was expressionless, and wanted nothing to do with the main character. Still, the protagonist doesn’t give up, and by increasing her likeness, she gradually opens up her heart. And when she smiles for the first time! I made it my wallpaper without a second thought. The art in the game, so good. . .

Her personality is calm and gutsy. She was shy and cold at first, but she is really kind inside. She cooked her food and ate by herself in a cold house where she lives by herself. She is beautiful, kind, and great at cooking. Truly a perfect package.

Such a girl is so appealing, so she is easily loved by the main character. But if that happened wouldn’t that mean enraging the love rival where she could be slaughtered? 

I want to save Sara from such a tragedy! I want her to be happy!

However it’s easier said than done. A good start is keeping Aoi and Sara from meeting each other.

The encounter between the two goes like this. A sudden heavy rain happened on Aoi’s way home from the entrance ceremony. She prepared an umbrella however, so she wouldn’t get wet. As she walks home she sees a shivering Sara taking shelter from the rain. That’s where they meet when Aoi presents her an umbrella.

If this never happens, then it’s unlikely two people from different schools would ever get to know each other. Fortunately I know the scene’s background so I can estimate the location it occurs. It wouldn’t have been possible if it was a plain place, but luckily I noticed it should be that large bookstore three stations away. For major books, a local bookstore is sufficient, but if you want a large assortment of books, you have to go to a large bookstore or rely on mail order, so I’ve been there many times before.

“I’m off on the day of the entrance ceremony, so I wonder if I should wait at a cafe where I could watch for Sara..”

–  –  That’s why I’m drinking coffee at a cafe near the site. It’s far from raining yet, it’s a blue sky and there are almost no clouds. Will it really rain like this? Well, if Aoi and Sara don’t appear because it doesn’t rain then that’s fine!

I began to doubt my memory. I looked down at the book I bought at the nearby store. The title read “She and my Chocolates Days.”

. . . Well, Yuri is interesting. It’s a genre that I wasn’t interested in until now. It’s all because of the influence from my previous life. I was completely addicted to them. I haven’t read many books so far, and there were only a few manga’s and magazines on the bookshelf in my room, but that has increased considerably in the past week. At this rate, I feel like there is a crisis where I will devote my life to Yuri again.

The memories that returned last week became familiar to me, it’s as if slowly it melted into me. Other than the fact that she liked Yuri’s work, I wonder if my sensibilities and values have grown a little closer to her. Except for the Yuri obsession, my personality has always been similar to my past life, so even if her personality is mixed in there are few changes, but it’s barely noticeable. However, what surprised me was how much my academic ability improved. In particular the mathematical field she expertised in. I’m now at the level where I can take the entrance exam right away. Thank you for studying so hard previous me!

While thinking about it, I looked out of the window as gray clouds gradually covered the sky. I never would have seen it coming after watching the blue sky a minute ago. I can sympathize with Sara who will soon become a drenched dog. I couldn’t have predicted this rain without already knowing the weather forecast.

“ . . .It’s time to move.”

I was nervous about whether this game theory was even real. I left the cafe and headed towards the bookstore, by the time I arrived it had already started to rain hard. In the blink of an eye, large raindrops fell like waterfalls. In the sudden heavy rain, as people rushed for shelter or brought their umbrellas out, I scanned for Sara.

The half Japanese half Swedish girl had a prominent appearance, so if I’m close to them I should know immediately. I was getting impatient. I have to find her before Aoi. It was then as I was looking around, A person rushed to the spot I was taking shelter at. 

—Sara!!!

White skin, and light caramel colored hair that is far from Japanese hair. Dressed in her soaked but brand new uniform and breathing while holding her shoulders. She was as beautiful as the ingame art.

Her height is about 163 cm(5’4), a little taller than me? Her face is small and her limbs are slender, despite it sticking to her she still looked like a model with her straight hair slightly longer than her shoulder. She exudes a ladylike atmosphere. She was 15 years old in the game and was already an adult beauty. She noticed my gaze and our eyes then met.
