The official handling naturally couldn't just be killing the troublemaking player; too many ordinary people witnessed that scene, so a memory modification was also necessary.
The official four-person team went to deal with all of this, without mentioning anything about Kisaragi Rin reporting his identity.
Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at Kisaragi Rin, clutching her pounding heart, and also left the area.
Beneath the dust, Kisaragi Rin picked up the book.
Item - Galgame Project Plan
Description: Take your plan, and rewrite a new one for me with overtime and late nights!
Effect 1 - Script: An excellent Project Plan will assist you in creating an excellent script.
Effect 2 - Characters: The characters in a traditional galgame can, of course, only be one male protagonist with multiple female characters. The more distinct the character traits, the more power the item can unleash.
Effect 3 - Reasonableness: The more reasonable the plot created in the script, the more power the item can unleash, and make it a reality. This is very reasonable.
Effect 4 - Miracle: When a perfect galgame is successfully created, you can swap your own fate with that of a character in the game.
Bonus: None
Usage Conditions: Possess an unparalleled love for galgames, activate Effect 4, and voluntarily relinquish your own fate.
"Swap fates?"
After reading the description, Kisaragi Rin was a little relieved that this guy was about to lose control. If he had been hiding in the shadows and meticulously handling the plot step by step, who would have thought that the harem he built was just a wedding dress for someone else?
However, judging by Aki Tomoya's desperate attempt to swap fates with Kisaragi, and then immediately losing control, perhaps even he couldn't have achieved all of this by creating a perfect ending.
Kisaragi Rin opened the Project Plan and flipped through the sections Aki Tomoya had written earlier, which roughly contained the following:
Monday, Aki Tomoya took the item and began observing Shiina Mahiru, attempting to create a perfect galgame with her as the female protagonist.
Tuesday, Shiina Mahiru appeared in the Service Club and issued this request.
Today, Kisaragi Rin was targeted by Aki Tomoya and set as the male protagonist of the galgame.
Multiple branching storylines involving Yukinoshita Yukino, Sawamura Eriri, and Kasumigaoka Utaha launched their attacks under the item's influence.
And Shiina Mahiru was the backup main storyline Aki Tomoya left. In the Project Plan's 'Reasonableness' judgment, as long as Shiina Mahiru confessed, it would definitely succeed.
The reason for such urgency was, firstly, that he was already close to losing control; he had no time to wait after obtaining the item on Monday. Secondly, he didn't know Kisaragi was a player, nor did he understand Kisaragi's personality, so he didn't expect such an active girl-chasing-boy scenario to fail.
During lunch break, ten minutes after Kisaragi Rin rejected Shiina Mahiru's confession, Aki Tomoya was discovered by Kisaragi and a battle ensued. After another failed attempt at the Angel route, a desperate Aki Tomoya completely lost control.
"Besides this item with such strange usage conditions, all I got was Sawamura Eriri's panty color. It's really too much of a loss, isn't it?"
Kisaragi Rin felt a little sad.
Spider Mother, acting as a narrator, shouted in his ear: "Collection +1!"
Kisaragi Rin angrily rubbed Spider Mother's spider head and said unhappily, "Monitor Chiba thoroughly for me. If there's a next time, you'll be trampled under Hanako's foot."
Of course, this was just a joke, and Spider Mother, being understanding, feigned a scared expression.
The reason Aki Tomoya was hidden in the container and not found by Spider Mother's small spiders was because he had written, "Before the galgame is completed, the author needs to stay in a dark room and will not be disturbed." The ordinary spiders used for searching automatically ignored this place.
The unexpected incident was resolved satisfactorily. The problem now was how to handle Shiina Mahiru.
Because of the Project Plan's influence, Shiina Mahiru, who appeared on the battlefield, was not noticed by the players, and was later taken away by Black Sun.
Spider Mother realized what Kisaragi Rin was thinking and began communicating with Black Sun through her ability.
"Shiina Mahiru was taken to the school by Black Sun."
Spider Mother whispered, and then began to teleport Kisaragi Rin back through Infinity Castle.
With a shift in vision, Kisaragi Rin was already standing at the entrance of the Service Club. Pushing open the Service Club door, because lunch break hadn't ended yet, Shiina Mahiru, Yukinoshita Yukino, and Yuigahama Yui were all still there.
As for Sawamura Eriri, that guy, after shaking off the influence and remembering what she had done, would probably be too socially mortified to appear for a short while.
Kasumigaoka Utaha also didn't appear here. She had guessed her player identity, and Kisaragi would arrange for Spider Mother to contact her.
Not to take her under his wing, but at least to investigate her situation and not expose his own information.
Shiina Mahiru looked at Kisaragi Rin with concern, then remembered her confession at the stairwell corner, and blushed, lowering her head again.
Yukinoshita Yukino, seeing Kisaragi Rin unharmed, also relaxed and asked, "Is the matter resolved?"
"It's resolved."
Kisaragi Rin sat in his seat. Yuigahama Yui next to him showed an expression of exasperation, which made Kisaragi Rin feel utterly bewildered.
Yukinoshita Yukino brought over another cup of black tea. Of course, this time it wasn't spilled.
She began an encrypted conversation with Kisaragi Rin on her phone.
Yukinoshita Yukino: I told Yuigahama Yui that Shiina Mahiru confessed to you and was rejected, and then it was the scene she saw. Her later disappearance was because you were mediating this matter.
Kisaragi Rin: The reason you found makes me look like a scumbag.
Yukinoshita Yukino: Doesn't that just fit your nature?
Kisaragi Rin: What strength do you have?
Yukinoshita Yukino: "..."
"What are you two talking about?"
Yuigahama Yui's voice rang out nearby. Kisaragi immediately put away his phone, which made Yuigahama Yui make a sad emoji expression of being isolated by her companions.
Then she was about to break character and grab Kisaragi Rin's collar to shake him, but then she thought of Shiina Mahiru nearby. Yuigahama Yui still gave up on that idea and gestured with her eyes to Kisaragi, indicating that he should pay more attention to Shiina Mahiru's condition.
Kisaragi Rin looked at Shiina Mahiru. She also happened to look up and steal a glance at Kisaragi Rin.
"Don't worry about me, being rejected is a rare experience after all, since I'm usually the one rejecting others."
Shiina Mahiru blinked, then threw herself into Yuigahama Yui's embrace, snuggling against her. Her cute appearance made Yuigahama Yui break into a silly smile.
Kisaragi Rin didn't say anything more, but instead took out a notebook and started sketching.
"If only one drop of water can be released, why do you think it's called 'Heaven's Downpour' and not 'Water Drop'?
This was what Shimohira Reika told him.
It must be said that feeling Japan official's 'Heaven's Downpour' up close indeed startled him.
Space was sealed, and attempts to enter the Workshop became sluggish, taking about twice as long as normal entry. The uncontrolled entity dissipated into dust, as if it had never appeared.
"As expected, it's because I've been a player for too short a time, lacking sufficient experience."
Kisaragi Rin thought for a moment. Excluding the time spent in the Paradise, he had been a player in the Main World for less than two weeks. He decided that he needed to be more cautious in the future.
...
Afternoon classes still had to be attended. Kisaragi Rin and Shiina Mahiru walked together.
That Yuigahama Yui, although going the same way as them, was very perceptive and decided to leave later, staying in the Service Club to bother Yukinoshita Yukino.
"About earlier..." Kisaragi Rin looked down at Shiina Mahiru beside him.
She suddenly quickened her pace, her school uniform skirt swirling with the light, and walked a short distance in front of Kisaragi Rin, turning her head and whispering with her hands behind her back:
"About earlier, Ms. Black Sun told me that I was being controlled by someone."
"This time it doesn't count, Kisaragi-san."
