Dual System in Daily World

[Kasumigaoka Utaha ultimately gives in during your stare-down. Her defiant posture softens, and she turns her head away, mumbling] 

"I was wrong back then. If you're still angry about it, I apologize."

[Your response to her apology is…]

[1. "If an apology could solve problems, then what's the point of having the police?"]

[2. "Alright, make me feel better, and I'll forgive you."]

[3. "Do you know how much it hurt for a thirteen-year-old boy to be stood up by someone he cared about?"]

The options provided by the simulation are indeed devious. The three choices each have a different tone.

The first option is a clear rejection of the apology, a tough response. Considering the situation, this choice doesn't seem optimal.

The second option seems too straightforward. 

Revealing your inner thoughts so quickly might not be wise.

Kasumigaoka Utaha might get angry and leave, becoming more guarded and making it harder for you to succeed.

It's strange how his thoughts have become so twisted.

Suzumiya Chisato notices this but doesn't dwell on it, finding an excuse that an excessively realistic game can indeed lead to such thoughts.

Not spending too much time deliberating, he chooses the third option.

The reason is that he senses Kasumigaoka Utaha still feels some guilt about the past.

She's showing such a weakness, there's no reason to miss the chance to press the advantage.

[You are an evil person who understands the strategy of attacking the heart without needing to be taught.]

[Since Kasumigaoka Utaha feels guilt about the past, your next step is to make that guilt even bigger.]

...

Inside the student council room.

Kasumigaoka Utaha's expression turns from frustration to a mix of embarrassment and resignation.

[You begin to speak with a seemingly sincere expression.]

"It might seem trivial to you now, but you have no idea how much harm your lies did to a thirteen-year-old boy like me."

[The atmosphere becomes charged with tension as you recount the emotional impact of your encounter with her.]

[You describe how meeting her was like a beam of light piercing through the monotony of your life, turning it vibrant and full of hope.]

[You continue, explaining how your initial excitement and belief gradually transformed into self-deception and eventually despair as you waited for her, only to be let down.]

"I…"

Kasumigaoka Utaha tries to speak, but her words falter as she sees the pained look on your face.

[Your masterful manipulation of her guilt continues to deepen her remorse. After a period of silence, she finally says,]

"What's done is done, and I know that no amount of apology can undo the hurt I've caused you. Do whatever you want with me, but please, don't hurt the people around me."

Her usually composed and proud face disappeared, showing her fierce determination to protect those she cares about.

[Seeing this, your heart races with a mix of excitement and anticipation. You decide…]

[1. "Does it not matter what happens to you? Fine. Then, you must remain in a relationship with me until you graduate. Of course, that means we'll be doing everything a couple does."]

[2. "You're teaching me how to do things? I'll destroy everything you care about, make your friends and club suffer, and make you feel the pain I endured."]

[3. "The time isn't right yet. Let her go for now and devise another plan."]

Rationally, the third option seems most prudent. However, the intense and alluring presence of Kasumigaoka Utaha, combined with his inclinations makes him choose the first option.

[You smiled meaningfully and say.]

"I can agree not to target Tomoya Aki and your club, but you'll need to stay in a relationship with me until you graduate."

"And, of course, that means we'll engage in all the typical couple activities."

Kasumigaoka Utaha takes a step back after hearing your request, her beautiful face flushed with a deep crimson.

She wants to protest, but the guilt she feels and the leverage Suzumiya Chisato has over her and her loved ones prevent her from speaking out.

After a struggle, she finally let out a deep sigh and answered.

"I understand. I'll agree to your terms…"

Her voice trembles as she adds, "Just... please, keep this between us."

"Of course. That's also my intention. So. from now on you're my girlfriend, Kasumigaoka-senpai!"

Suzumiya Chisato deliberately stressed the words "senpai" as he spoke.

"Now, let's get to know each other and figure out how we'll be interacting from now on."

He pulled Kasumigaoka Utaha's hand and hugged her waist with a firm grip, ignoring her closed eyes and resistance. 

He leaned in and forcefully kissed her lips without any hint of tenderness.

...

In reality, Suzumiya Chisato sat up on bed, touching his lips.

Just now in the simulation, he had used a first-person perspective to steal Kasumigaoka Utaha's first kiss.

Her lips were incredibly soft and moist.

Despite her resistance with her teeth clenched tightly, she had ultimately been powerless against him, allowing him to break through her defenses and invade her territory, leaving her helpless as he took what he wanted.

The realism of the sensation and awareness felt as if he had truly experienced it himself.

It was… so exhilarating!

The simulation continued.

[Kasumigaoka Utaha pushed you away, her lips tightly pressed together, her eyes reddened as she ran out of the student council room.]

[However, you remained indifferent, satisfied with the sense of accomplishment from her submission.]

[You had Kasumigaoka Utaha under your control. Although she was unwilling, she had no way to resist you.]

[You understood this clearly. All the preparations you made earlier were for this moment of enjoyment.]

[The next day, during lunch break, you, as the student council president, conducted a tour of the various clubs in the school.]

[But your real goal was to visit the club that Kasumigaoka Utaha frequently went to during lunch breaks.]

[You politely declined the wrestling club's invitation from a burly guy and left, arriving at the entrance of the visual novel club.]

[First-person perspective can be enabled. Would you like to activate it?]

It must be enabled. 

After that kiss, Suzumiya Chisato has completely tasted the sweetness.

Since it's happening in the simulation world, why not enjoy the benefit of being close to a beautiful girl for free?

His vision blurred for a moment.

When he came to, the scene in front of him had turned into the sliding door of a bright white multimedia classroom.

The quiet bedroom had turned into a noisy hall.

There were the competition practice tunes of the orchestra, the crisp sound of baseball bats hitting balls, and the excited and high-spirited cheers of the cheerleaders.

All these combined made the school feel lively and full of youthful energy.

He knocked on the door but got no response.

Suzumiya Chisato didn't wait and directly pushed open the door to step into the cool multimedia classroom from the bright sunshine in the corridor.

There was only one person inside.

Kasumigaoka Utaha sat by the window with a novel spread out in front of her, but she wasn't reading.

From her unmoving posture facing the window and her lack of reaction to Suzumiya Chisato's entrance, it was clear she was daydreaming.

Suzumiya Chisato gently closed the door and locked it.

He walked over and sat next to Kasumigaoka Utaha, then placed his left hand under the table, resting it on her thigh covered by black stockings.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was startled.

When she turned and saw it was Suzumiya Chisato, her face immediately showed her displeasure without any attempt to hide it.

She pushed his hand away, deliberately showing a fierce and unapproachable expression.

But the cunning Suzumiya Chisato saw through her façade and paid no attention to her forced calm.

He leaned in close to her neck and lightly sniffed her fragrant hair.

"Don't do this. I agreed to your request, but that doesn't mean I have to endure your harassment all the time."

"You haven't forgotten our agreement, have you? We're in a relationship now, so showing affection between couples can't be called harassment."

"…!"

Hearing this, Kasumigaoka Utaha's pale cheeks flushed even more.

She wanted to turn and leave just like she did yesterday, but the situation now was different from yesterday in the student council room.

If she wanted to leave her seat now, she would have to pass in front of Suzumiya Chisato.

But would he be kind enough to let her leave like that?

"You seem to dislike me." Suzumiya Chisato stopped his actions.

Kasumigaoka Utaha, feeling her thigh burning from his touch, turned her face away in anger.

"Do you really expect me to have any good feelings for you after you do something like this?"

"I wasn't that naive, but threatening you with the club and friends wasn't my intention. I only did these things because I like you so much."

"Ha." Kasumigaoka Utaha snorted and remained silent.

Suzumiya Chisato smiled casually, too lazy to explain further.

"Since things have already reached this point, my initial thoughts don't matter anymore. Now I just want to make up for my past regrets. I don't care how you feel, as long as you behave as a good girlfriend and satisfy me."

[Lunch break is short, and having already experienced Kasumigaoka Utaha's soft lips once, you don't want to waste more time with her.]

[You once again bring up the club and the school rules that Tomoya Aki broke, hinting that she should behave.]

[The effect is significant. Under your mischievous smile, Kasumigaoka Utaha, though extremely reluctant, sits obediently in your open embrace, wrapping her arms around your neck and looking up to face what she doesn't want but can't avoid.]

[However, just as the third round begins, a sound unexpectedly comes from the door of the multimedia classroom…]

"Click, click…"

Suzumiya Chisato looked up and towards the door. Voices were coming from outside.

"Strange, didn't Kasumigaoka-senpai come here for lunch today?"

Sitting in Suzumiya Chisato's lap with tearful eyes, Kasumigaoka Utaha instinctively clamped her thighs together as she looked terrified when she heard the voice.

The voice was unmistakably familiar to Kasumigaoka Utaha.

It was from her junior in the club, the one who helped promote her novel and whom she had some fondness for—Tomoya Aki.

"Don't worry. I locked the door, and the only key to open it is with you. He can't get in."

Suzumiya Chisato comforted the beauty in his arms and once again, ignoring her protests, leaned in closer.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was very unwilling but was afraid that her non-cooperation might make Suzumiya Chisato unhappy and cause a sound that might alert the person outside.

So she had to endure and let him do as he pleased.

"It's obvious. That woman must be sleeping somewhere in the classroom or on the rooftop. Don't worry about her. Let's go."

A cheerful female voice was heard.

The conversation outside gradually faded, indicating they had moved away.

However, before Kasumigaoka Utaha could relax, her phone rang again. The caller was the just-departed Tomoya Aki.

[When Utaha took out her phone, looking panicked and ready to hang up, you, who was driven by some twisted amusement, answered the call before she could.]

[Watching Utaha stumble through the conversation with Tomoya Aki, you couldn't help but smile in satisfaction.]

[You leaned in close to Utaha's ear and whispered, just loud enough for both of you to hear, that there was enough space under the table for someone to crouch.]

[Utaha glared at you with anger but slowly followed your instructions as you pretended to make a move.]
