[Character: Kujo Alisa]
[Potential: B]
[Favorability: 57]
[Status: Expectant]
Expectant?
Expecting what?
Shiro couldn’t figure it out, but the Protagonist’s Corner was gone.
He settled for the next best thing and sat down next to Alisa.
A person in a favorable position gains the advantage.
Since there was a character from the illustrated guide here, he definitely had to stay close.
“Hello, my name is Shiro.”
“Erisa.”
The reply was very brief, and her tone carried a chill, as if she wanted to keep people a thousand miles away.
But Shiro saw that Alisa’s status was still ‘Expectant’; clearly, she was hoping for further conversation.
With this attitude, however, it was hard not to suspect that she had developed negative feelings toward his attempt to strike up a conversation.
“Alisa? You’re a foreigner, right?”
“White hair, blue eyes, and very fair skin. You’re so beautiful, just like a doll.”
Alisa’s lips curled up imperceptibly: “I’m a mix of Russia and Island Country. Your name, Shiro, doesn’t sound like an Island Country name either.”
“Yeah, but I grew up here, so it’s about the same.”
“I heard that people in Russia really like drinking black tea…”
“And also, do Russia’s matryoshka dolls really have that many layers?”
This happened to be Alisa’s area of expertise, and Shiro provided maximum emotional value.
Amidst the stream of praise, Alisa’s status changed to ‘Joyful,’ and her favorability soared to 70.
However, her expression was like an emotionless Q&A machine, radiating a natural coldness.
No wonder she was nicknamed the Ice Queen.
But thinking about how this Ice Queen would look after his ‘training’—passionate only toward him—
A unique sense of accomplishment flooded Shiro’s heart.
White hair, white over-the-knee socks, and ‘headlights’ that were on par with Yumi.
He wondered what it would feel like to ‘train’ her.
“Eh? Is winter in Russia really that cold? You have to drink vodka?”
“Mhm! Eighty percent of Russia people drink it, otherwise they simply couldn’t survive.”
Hearing the name ‘Alisa,’ she paused slightly and tilted her chin up: “How cunning.” (Russian)
“Alisa-san, what did you say?”
“I said I don’t.”
Shiro was proficient in multiple languages and knew exactly what Alisa was saying.
With the internal monologue and the visual status updates, the conquest would become much simpler.
So he didn’t plan on revealing this secret.
Wait until after the ‘physical connection’…
heehee.
“Excuse me, is anyone sitting here?”
A girl with blonde hair and red contact lenses came up to Erisa.
“No!”
Alisa’s answer was very blunt, like a gust of wind in the dead of winter, nearly freezing all of Kitagawa Marin’s hair off.
The scene she just saw wasn’t like this at all!
Could it be that I approached her the wrong way?
But she really is too beautiful.
If she did cosplay, she would definitely blow up the cosplay circle immediately.
No, even without cosplay, if she just put on a Gothic-style dress, she’d be discovered by a talent scout instantly.
“I absolutely must be friends with her, and also with the person next to her.”
Kitagawa Marin sat down in front of Allie, filled with a beautiful aspiration.
“My name is Kitagawa Marin! You can call me Marin.”
Kitagawa Marin was the type of person with a bright personality; no one could dislike her.
And having been influenced by the culture of the island nation since childhood, and having been involved in cosplay and modeling, Kitagawa Marin even struck a pose during her self-introduction.
Her fingers formed a peace sign next to her half-open eyes, and a slightly playful smile hung on her lips.
She was very lively and full of energy.
She was the complete opposite of Allie at that moment, and the contrast was stark.
“Character: Kitagawa Marin”
“Potential: A”
“Affection: 60”
“Status: Excited”
Shiro, having seen the message, took the initiative to introduce himself: “My name is Shiro, you can just call me Shiro.”
“Our class has so many foreigners! Marin, your golden hair is really beautiful, you have the aura of a model.”
“Shiro-kun, you’re so good with words. How can I compare to models in magazines? And Shiro, your image isn’t bad either, I’m sure many talent scouts have approached you.”
“No, no, I don’t even have a girlfriend, I’ve been single since birth.”
“Eh, that can’t be!”
“Eh~!”
Both Kitagawa Marin and Allie heard Shiro’s statement.
Kitagawa Marin: “That shouldn’t be!”
Shiro smiled indifferently: “What’s impossible? If things like Monsters, demons, and Cursed Spirits can appear, I think anything is possible.”
“That’s true. I heard there were Monsters active near my home, so I’ve been very careful these past few days.”
Kitagawa Marin didn’t dwell on the topic of boyfriends and girlfriends, instead talking about herself.
“You really should be careful, Monsters are very dangerous.”
Shiro expressed his concern: “By the way, let’s exchange email addresses. That way, if anything happens, we can look out for each other.”
Shiro took out his phone, and Kitagawa Marin also pulled hers out.
“Let me join in too.” (Russian)
Ever since Kitagawa Marin appeared, the topic of conversation had shifted.
Allie had just moved from Russia and wasn’t familiar with her surroundings, so she couldn’t join their conversation.
And with her personality, she wouldn’t have been able to interject anyway.
However, Shiro was paying attention to her, so he handed his phone to her first.
“Allie, you should exchange too. Oh, and remember to take a picture, I’ll use it as my avatar.”
Upon hearing “take a picture,” Kitagawa Marin’s eyes lit up.
“Alisa, me too, me too…”
The three exchanged email addresses, all feeling satisfied.
Just then, an unexpected character sat down in front of Shiro’s seat.
She set down her school bag, a wooden sword stood beside her seat, and an aura of strength emanated from her.
“Character: Saeko Busujima”
“Potential: S”
“Affection:???”
“Status: Hesitant”
Saeko Busujima?
No way!
