I Became a Genius Swordsman in the Pretty Girl Game

‘I’ll take responsibility for all of you.’

The bold and thrilling declaration of Jin Yuha!

His harem announcement was so daring and exhilarating that people couldn’t help but exclaim, ‘Wow, that’s so cool!’ Regardless of age, personality, or the number of people, seven in total! It’s amazing that he can embrace and accommodate all tastes on his own! We can’t even imagine doing what he’s doing so casually! It’s thrilling! It makes us admire him!

Of course, such a reaction was to be expected.

After all, it was an accident caused by the curse of the Affection Demon, who manipulates the emotion of ‘love’.

Even after the Affection Demon was defeated, an unknown group of reporters appeared out of nowhere and surrounded them.

There, Shin Se-hee nodded and said,

‘It’s true that I was cursed by the Affection Demon. I should have been more careful, but it was a mistake.’

By officially acknowledging this, the situation became even more chaotic.

At this point, the outside world was trembling at the possible downfall of Utopia.

But what were the members of the Utopia party doing?

“Ugh… I think Yuha noticed.”

Lim Ga-eul banged her head on the desk in frustration.

“Yes, it’s just a hunch… but I’m 100% sure.”

“If he really had been deceived, he would have been angry with us there. He would have asked why we went to defeat the Affection Demon without consulting him.”

“This operation was unlike Se-hee. It was too sloppy.”

Ichika’s sharp remark made Se-hee bow her head.

“Ugh, I had no choice! We had little time to investigate the Affection Demon, and there was a possibility of unexpected situations… and you all agreed that this was a great opportunity to create a gap in Jin Yuha’s ethical standards.”

Se-hee, uncharacteristically, rambled on.

Yoo-ri looked at the comments on the articles on her phone and said.

“Well, at least the people seem to be accepting it.”

At first, people couldn’t believe that Utopia, who had easily dealt with even the demon race, had fallen victim to such a weak demon like the Affection Demon.

However, there were testimonies from the hunters who had been taken by the Shin family Guards.

In other words, the hunters who had been taken to the American Hunter Association as fugitives.

The Affection Demon was a formidable being, with all other abilities being inferior but with a terrifying power.

No defense or immunity could withstand it.

It was revealed that it could control people’s hearts just by looking at them.

This led to the creation of public opinion that viewed this incident as an unfortunate accident.

Among the fugitives who had been affected by the Affection Demon were some well-known hunters, which made the argument even more convincing.

So, people were worried that Utopia might fall apart due to internal conflict.

Instead, they actively supported the bold choice of Jin Yuha and the party members becoming ‘joint lovers’.

This was quite an unusual situation.

Generally, people expected hunters who conquered the Gate and protected them from monsters to have high moral and ethical standards.

In other words, one of Se-hee’s plans,

‘To gain public acceptance of our special relationship,’ was successfully achieved.

However,

“What’s the point of that…?”

The problem was Jin Yuha.

Jin Yuha had declared that he would take responsibility for all the party members, but

After returning home, he said,

‘I need some time to think. I’ll contact you later. Just give me some time.’

and went into his room, not answering anyone’s calls.

As a result, the party members couldn’t help but feel anxious.

‘Just give me some time.’

That’s usually what people say before making a bad decision, isn’t it?

Could it be that he accepted it at first, but then changed his mind and decided to reject it?

What if they become awkward with each other?

Could they bear it?

It was more comfortable when Jin Yuha was insensitive and oblivious.

At that time,

Even if we were a little more aggressive and initiated skinship,

Huh? Phew, doesn’t he know? Really? Let’s see how long he can keep pretending.

It was almost like a runaway train.

But now, Jin Yuha seemed to have noticed everything, so they couldn’t approach him first.

“Haa… Why isn’t he answering my calls… He’s not even replying to my texts.”

Lim Ga-eul banged her head on the desk and sighed heavily.

“Maybe he’s angry.”

“Angry?”

At Sophia’s words, Lim Ga-eul slowly raised her head.

“Maybe he’s angry that we deceived him, and this is his way of expressing it.”

It was a convincing theory, but it didn’t provide a clear answer.

“I wish he would just get angry directly… Why is he ignoring us? Ignoring us!! Haa, I wish Yuha could go back to being a normal senior and junior.”

Not knowing what Jin Yuha was thinking made them feel frustrated.

Just then, someone’s phone lit up, and a clear bell rang.

“Huh!? It’s Jin Yuha!”

Everyone’s eyes turned to that person.

.

.

.

Scratch, scratch—

I was sitting alone at my desk, scribbling with a pencil.

‘Hmm, I guess I was too hasty with the sudden acceleration.’

When I realized that the party members had noticed my feelings, I couldn’t help but accelerate.

Well, I don’t regret saying that.

My mind is clear.

I’m not the type to backtrack on a decision once it’s made.

I just needed to plan more thoroughly.

Yoo-ri, Kang Do-hee, Shin Se-hee, Baek Seol-hee, Lim Ga-eul, Sophia, Ichika, and Alice.

They all have beautiful and vibrant personalities.

In the past, even in my dry and boring life before this, they were my only refuge.

When I was thrown into this strange land for the ridiculous reason of playing gacha, and became the trash character Jin Yuha, they filled the void and eased my anxiety, becoming even more precious to me.

Indeed, I couldn’t bear to give up on any of them.

My promise to take responsibility for everyone was not an empty one.

So, what am I doing now?

“Now, I have to focus on both the game and our relationships.”

I frowned as I organized the upcoming schedule on my notebook.

This world is destined to end.

To ensure a happy life for everyone, we must prevent that destruction by all means.

Otherwise, there will be no future.

However, without considering this, I rashly declared that I would take responsibility for everyone.

Now, I have to focus on our relationships while also clearing the game.

So, I thought about backing out and choosing to confront them properly after everything is over.

“Hmm, but it doesn’t seem impossible… In fact, this might be more efficient.”

Currently, our party is in a rather unusual state.

Well, how should I put it?

We didn’t roll any gacha,

We didn’t switch characters,

We have weak artifacts,

And without any character growth items, skill selection tickets, or trait selection tickets, we’re relying solely on our physical strength to break through.

Moreover, we’re on a no-death run, clearing each chapter without a single party member dying.

In gaming terms, our account is like a pool of oil that has gone rancid.

Of course, in the process, we achieved unbelievable growth.

I discovered rare characters that weren’t even available in Velvet and recruited them as companions.

I changed the gloomy story that was supposed to be unchangeable.

I achieved several first-time achievements that are rarely seen.

“It’s time for a proper upgrade. Let’s see, the second Demon World Gate opens in a month, right?”

The first Demon World Gate was like a tutorial.

In other words, the difficulty increases exponentially from the second gate onwards.

The situation seems to require our full attention,

‘But this is a dating sim, so it’s not that simple, is it?’

What I’m thinking about now is the ‘personal stories’ of the characters.

In Velvets each character has their own personal story.

From lighthearted daily life to heavy dilemmas, these personal stories focus on the characters’ desires and concerns.

Successfully clearing these personal stories can earn you useful skills or traits.

Well, I’ll have to think more about the cases of the Master, Ichika, and Alice, whom I didn’t know before.

In terms of gameplay, it’s more efficient to clear personal stories in the latter part of the game.

This is because the rewards for personal stories increase as the character’s affection for the sponsor increases.

So,

If I maintain deep relationships with everyone while clearing their personal stories?

It might be possible to achieve an even higher score than the game itself.

‘In the game, I was just a distant sponsor, but now I can directly help from the sidelines.’

So, the first person I’ll approach is…

The girl I met first in the party.

Despite her unfortunate situation of having to clear dungeons to pay off her family’s debt, eating instant meals every day,

She never loses her light and raises her shield with trust and belief.

She is our reliable tank.

Yes.

It all started with Soup.

‘What’s the difference between a date and clearing a personal story together?’

I chuckled and picked up my phone to text Soup.

[Soup, do you want to go on a 1-night, 2-day trip with me?]
