Although Iruka's goal was to become an actor, he never expected his first job to be so outrageous.
Looking at the stunning girl in the mirror, Iruka was speechless for a moment.
Her glossy black hair was styled into two low ponytails resting on her chest, adding a touch of maturity to her elegant and charming demeanor. Her wine-red right eye seemed to possess the power to attract souls and captivate the mind, while her draped bangs concealed her left eye, making her appear even more mysterious.
She was wearing an ordinary student uniform, making her look like a local high school student, but even the plainest uniform perfectly accentuated her curvaceous figure. Black stockings encased her slightly plump legs, every curve flawlessly perfect.
This girl was familiar to him; she had even held the record for a full year on his "Wife Ranking List," which usually changed every three months.
One of the Spirits from date a live, Kurumi Tokisaki.
There is an illustration here, which can be viewed after the version update.
"What kind of mess is this?" Iruka covered his face, unable to accept reality. "Why did I turn into Kurumi Tokisaki?"
Although he was asking in self-pity, he did have some idea about the reason.
Iruka, who had just graduated from university and was actively searching for a job, suddenly received an employment email asking him to role-play a character from date a live.
Although he didn't know why it was a date a live character, he didn't think too much of it, assuming it was some fan group creating a live-action secondary creation or something similar. He wasn't suspicious.
Iruka thought he genuinely possessed the aura of a two-dimensional light novel protagonist, and playing Shido Itsuka wouldn't be a problem, so he clicked the agree button.
Then, after a dizzy spell, he arrived here.
Not only had the location shifted, but his entire person had also undergone a sex change.
He changed from Iruka into Kurumi Tokisaki.
"Well damn, although Kurumi Tokisaki is a character from date a live, I'm a guy! Wouldn't most people assume they were going to play Shido Itsuka?"
Just as Iruka sighed toward the heavens, an artificial voice of indeterminate gender sounded in his mind.
[We are pleased that you have accepted this role-playing mission. System Number G7, at your service.]
"Should I thank myself for reading so many Infinite Flow novels a few years ago? I'm not surprised at all..." Iruka rubbed his forehead and asked, feeling quite a headache. "In any case, please explain the situation first."
[Because the Host has accepted the role-playing mission, from now on you must play the roles of ten Spirits from date a live. The Spirit you need to play will be different in each world.]
[The Spirit the Host needs to play will be randomly selected. You cannot choose which Spirit to play, and the world you travel to each time is also determined randomly.]
[Whenever you arrive in a different world, the Host will be given a Main Mission, Side Missions, and Random Missions.]
[The Main Mission is mandatory. Failure to complete it successfully will result in a penalty. Side Missions are tasks to be completed if possible; completion is up to the Host. Random Missions will appear during the Host's role-playing process; completion is also up to the Host.]
[When all Main Missions are completed, the Host's role-playing skill level will be assessed. The amount of reward depends on the quality of the role-play and the number of missions completed.]
[When the ten Spirit Maidens have been played one by one, the Host's mission will be completely fulfilled, and you will return to your original world.]
[As compensation for the work, the Host will randomly receive one ability from each Spirit Maiden.]
"Ooooh! I'm fired up!"
Iruka, who had originally been somewhat unenthusiastic, instantly became excited, as if injected with adrenaline, upon hearing that he could return to his own world after the job was finished and even gain any skill from the Spirit Maidens.
Those are the abilities of the Spirit Maidens!
Even if he only gained one, he would be able to live smoothly and successfully after returning!
Although he didn't know where the System came from or if its words were credible, Iruka chose to believe the System.
Are you kidding me? It already transferred him to another world and changed him into Kurumi Tokisaki. If the System has that kind of power, why would it need to lie?
Just believe it and get it done.
In any case, Iruka had nothing else to do. After graduating from university, he never thought finding a job would be so difficult, but now that a job had come to him, offering compensation that no normal person could refuse, he certainly couldn't reject it.
Although his first acting role was a female character, and he might have some psychological barriers, as long as the rewards were sufficient, mere shame was not a problem.
"It's just playing a Spirit Maiden! I'll show you!" Iruka grinned mockingly. "Although it's an embarrassing past, the old me put a lot of effort into researching the settings and character designs of Date War just to write fanfiction for it. I never thought I'd have a chance to use that information now."
As Iruka's gateway anime, date a live held unique significance for him; otherwise, he wouldn't have specifically gathered information to write fanfiction.
He could pound his chest and guarantee that no one in this world understood Spirit Maidens better than him... well, maybe.
Writing fanfiction was a long time ago. Although he vaguely remembered the general personality, habits, hobbies, and preferences of each Spirit Maiden, many memories had become blurred.
The first role he needed to play was Kurumi Tokisaki, which was good news for Iruka.
Compared to the other Spirit Maidens, his impression of Kurumi Tokisaki was the deepest.
After all, she had been his "wife" for a whole year, so naturally, his understanding of her was richer.
Furthermore, among the ten Spirit Maidens, Kurumi Tokisaki was one of the easier roles to play, and the psychological pressure he needed to overcome was not great.
He didn't need to play a moe-selling loli like Himekawa Yoshino, or an autistic girl who gave up thinking in space like Hoshimiya Mukuro, or a "Umu Monster" who was cool on the outside but an airhead on the inside like Yatogami Tohka... For a beginner, Kurumi Tokisaki was not an unsatisfactory choice.

Seeing the light screen displayed before him, and the missions written on it, Iruka took a deep breath.
For Iruka, these were impossible missions to complete.
But for Kurumi Tokisaki, completing these missions was not difficult.
For the first role-play, he had to be in his best state.
"From now on, I am no longer Iruka."
The girl slowly exhaled the stale air in her chest, entering the role-playing state.
"I am Kurumi Tokisaki, the true Kurumi Tokisaki."
