A reversal of fortune and victory in a world hated by all girls!

I agree.

Several girls offered to help, even though it was their first time dating. They spoke as if they were seasoned dating experts.

Please, get this straight. If we're talking about experience, then my experience with Aoi Natsuki is what makes me a pro. The dating games he played were truly hellish from the start...

The marriage mentioned earlier was just something Hoshimi casually brought up, and Sakurajima egged her on. Aoi Natsuki now realized that although these two had subtle differences in their nature, they were very similar in personality. They both loved to stir up trouble. She was only nineteen, and the last person she had dated had only been dating for a little over half a year. Talking about marriage before everything was even stable was something only the two of them would bring up.

"Aoi-kun, why do you look so gloomy? Cheer up!" Hoshimi Hitomi said.

Aoi Natsuki let out a long breath and said, "What you just said really scared me. Please, in the future, when you have an idea, can you consider the situation first before saying it? Not everything can be done without prior consultation."

"Yes, Aoi, you're right. I'll remember that." Hoshimi Hitomi nodded in agreement, but the more obedient she seemed, the more Aoi Natsuki felt that she was secretly plotting something.

A few seconds later, Hoshimi Hitomi continued, "What do you think about arranging for everyone to get married?"

"Everyone!" Ayano exclaimed, her eyes immediately lighting up.

It's started again.

Aoi Natsuki rolled her eyes at her and said, "What happens next is a matter for later. It's too early for you to ask me now."

“Oh, Aoi didn’t refuse, which means she’s also looking forward to this day. Sakurajima, you were right.” Hoshimi Hitomi turned to look at Sakurajima and said.

Sakurajima Anne's smile remained as mysterious as ever. Aoi Natsuki was startled, and a sense of pressure surged up. If Hoshimi had said these words, it would have just been a joke, but it was different when Sakurajima said them. What she said was what she truly thought, and she would actually act on it in the future!

Isn't Sakurajima's "wait and see" approach a bit too fast?

What's so great about everyone getting married? Everyone, everyone... Speaking of everyone, Aoi Natsuki actually fantasized about that scene for a moment. As a man, it's normal to fantasize. The image gradually appeared in his mind: one by one, girls in white wedding dresses walked into the hall, and he stood in front of the priest, looking at their slightly shy expressions. That scene...

He was brought back to his senses by a tickle in his waist. He glanced to the side and saw that it was Xingjian who had secretly pinched his waist.

Aoi Natsuki composed herself and returned to her previous indifferent demeanor when facing Hoshimi.

"Aoi-kun, you need to speed things up, time waits for no one."

“I understand. In this respect, I feel I’m more nervous than you,” Natsuki Aoi said.

"Really? Are you really trying to find a solution? I don't think you're tense enough." Hoshimi Hitomi took another step closer, her voice gradually lowering until only Aoi Natsuki could hear her. She said in a deep voice, "Don't forget, my heart is the last resort. Once I get a heart implanted, I'll stick with you forever from now on. Aoi-kun, are you ready?"

When these words reached Aoi Natsuki's ears, his body trembled instantly.

Ok……

The plan to make Kayano fall for him is now urgent!

Side Story 25. Can meeting Hoshimi be considered a date?

The girls each had their own thoughts on love. They sat around the coffee table, discussing how to help Kayano understand the true meaning of love. Kayano put down the controller, looked around, and prepared to listen to their advice.

"I think falling in love is something that should happen naturally. Minister, have you never liked a boy since you were a child?" Hayakawa asked curiously.

Kayano shook his head after hearing this.

“I understand, I understand. My sister has only ever liked Natsuki since we were little,” Ayano immediately raised her hand and spoke up.

"Ayano!" Takahashi Mito called out to her, embarrassed and annoyed.

Ayano shrugged, unconvinced.

"And you, Ayano? Have you always liked Aoi's type?" Kayano asked.

"Huh?" Ayano was taken aback for a moment, then waved her hands repeatedly and laughed, "No, no, well, how should I put it, at the very beginning, Natsuki was not my type at all. My type used to be like Mackenyu, a handsome guy, while Natsuki was more like Masato Sakai. It was mainly because a lot of things happened later that I slowly came to like Natsuki."

"So you're saying that your criteria for choosing a partner can change depending on the situation?"

"Well, I guess so, but I don't usually pay much attention to men. Natsuki, he's the first one." Ayano said this without any shyness, which made all the girlfriends around her, including Aoi Natsuki, feel a little embarrassed.

"Wow, you two alone are so much better than all the couples I've tried to set up before..." Kayano murmured softly. Seeing Ayano's puzzled look, she waved her hand and said, "Actually, I've never had any romantic feelings for men before, and I don't even really know what those feelings are like. I'm taking this opportunity to come and understand. Aoi must have some precious qualities that attract you all, since he has so many excellent girlfriends like you. So, as soon as I had a break, I thought I'd come and stay for a couple of days, hoping to experience what love really feels like."

Kayano's attitude is very polite now. Different girls have different perceptions from their own perspectives. Most people would want to help her, since she is on vacation and has time. Moreover, it would be a real pity if she had any relationship problems.

"You've never had feelings for boys, but what about girls?" Sakurajima asked abruptly.

As soon as the words were spoken, the group of people who suddenly realized what was happening, especially Takahashi Mito, who had been sitting very close to Kayano just now because she felt the same way, immediately moved twenty centimeters to the other side, her face filled with horror.

“Of course I don’t feel anything anymore,” Kayano said calmly.

The crisis was averted, which was quite a scare.

The group continued their discussion. Takahashi Mito had never had a crush on anyone because she disliked men. Kayano's situation was somewhat similar. However, according to Takahashi, her feelings for Aoi were also a sudden development. The less she saw him, the more she wanted to see him. She struggled with her feelings for a long time before finally revealing them to Aoi.

The other girls were in similar situations; they didn't have much of a feeling for Aoi Natsuki at first. Only Hayakawa developed some affection for her because Natsuki chatted and laughed with her about anime despite her disheveled appearance the first time they met. The others gradually grew to like her after some time had passed.

"So, if you spend more time with Aoi, you'll gradually be attracted to his good qualities?" Kayano said.

The others nodded, seemingly agreeing with the point.

"So, Sakurajima, when did you become interested in Aoi?" Kayano continued.

Sakurajima Anne was fiddling with her nails, the afternoon air making her a little languid. She rested her cheek on her left arm, and when she heard someone mention her, she raised her head slightly and smiled, saying, "I've been interested from the very beginning."

"So that's love at first sight? Sakurajima, have you ever cared about other guys like that before?"

Anne Sakurajima yawned softly and murmured, "There are none left alive. My current boyfriend, Aoi, is my first boyfriend, and he will be my last."

"Wow." Ayano's mouth dropped open; this was the perfect time to ship the couple!

Aoi Natsuki's cheeks flushed slightly; she was quite happy to hear this.

"Anyway, we'll do everything we can to help you, Minister. It's a real shame if you don't know what love is!" Hayakawa continued enthusiastically.

"Is it really that interesting?" Kayano had seen some couples in love before, but seeing them didn't stir any emotion in her. She even wondered if her heart had been taken away. But as she came into contact with more and more other gods, she realized that this seemed to be a phenomenon of the general environment. Almost all the gods were like this. As creators, they didn't understand what emotions were.

Her gaze fell on Hoshimi Hitomi across the table. She vaguely remembered that day when her senior had spent countless efforts to complete the framework of the world, and that realistic worldview had planted a small seed of longing in her heart.

It was a world completely different from those distorted worlds, a truly vibrant world with flesh and blood. That's why she wanted to stay here. Life here was fulfilling and leisurely. Even if it was just to stay here, she had to try to change something.

To become an ordinary person who thinks like a normal human being, and to experience love as a human being.

……

“Yes, I’ll arrange for Kayano to do a different activity with you every day for the next few days, trying to make her fall for you in a short time. That way, the world won’t collapse, and I won’t have to become an ordinary person.” Hoshimi Hitomi handed Aoi Natsuki a white paper that had been revised twice.

After Aoi Natsuki took it, she looked at the entire page covered in black pen corrections. It seemed they really cared about this matter this time.

The two sat by the window in a family-run restaurant at lunchtime, having a meal together.

"It looks good, but something feels off." Aoi Natsuki couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong.

"Is there a problem with the plan?" Hoshimi asked.

Natsuki Aoi stroked his chin, deep in thought. A moment later, a waitress brought over a fruit drink, and he suddenly realized what was going on. His eyes widened, and he immediately said, "By the way, why am I eating here with you? If it's something like this, why didn't you just have someone send it to me? Why did you make a special trip?"

"Mo~ Aoi, don't you want to have dinner with me alone?" Hoshimi Hitomi puffed out her cheeks and asked.

They look really cute.

But Natsuki Aoi remained unmoved, pursed her lips, and said, "Haven't we seen each other much lately?"

“That’s different. If we’re having dinner, it’s more like a date. You keep me company, and I’ll keep you company, right? Neon, Aoi-kun, I’ve already put all my last bit of divine power into that key card. Can’t you see how I feel?” Hoshimi Hitomi said, while turning the glass of juice with her slender fingers. As the glass turned, water droplets slowly dripped down the glass.

Dating……

Aoi Natsuki never felt that meeting Hoshimi was a romantic encounter. Although the access card was indeed very convenient, he also learned from Kayano that the access card contained all of Hoshimi's remaining divine power. Hoshimi was now just an empty shell of a god, but given her cunning nature, Aoi Natsuki always remained vigilant when meeting her.

"Business is business, and personal is personal. I don't feel like I'm on a date with you," Aoi Natsuki said bluntly.

"That's so unfair, Aoi is so cold~ I feel like once I get my heart back, I'll fall hopelessly in love with you."

"Please don't, I just want to live a normal life." Aoi Natsuki picked up the A4 paper in her hand, waved it around, and said, "I will try out this plan step by step. When everything returns to normal, I hope you can keep your promise."

"Hmm? Which one are you referring to?" Hoshimi asked, tilting her head slightly.

"From now on, don't bother me anymore. Be your god and continue looking for your next dating game partner. Don't come looking for me unless it's absolutely necessary." Aoi Natsuki folded the plan paper. Just then, his omelet rice arrived. He picked up a spoon, scooped up a spoonful, and started eating.

There was no sound from the other side for a long time. Aoi Natsuki thought she was acquiescing, but when she looked up curiously, she found that she was looking at the outside of the glass window with a worried expression. Her lower lip, which was being bitten by her teeth, was slightly pulled out, and she continued to sit there without saying a word.

Aoi Natsuki was quite hungry and had been eating quickly, but when he saw Hoshimi's appearance, he became more attentive and his eating speed noticeably slowed down.

"In your heart, Aoi, have I always been someone you resist and reject..." Hoshimi Hitomi murmured, then lowered her head slightly, her right fingertip brushing aside her bangs. When Aoi Natsuki first met her, she had dark green curly hair, but now her curly hair had long been straightened and simply tied up with a hair tie.

She seemed quite unhappy. Aoi Natsuki was the type of person who responded better to gentleness than force. Seeing Hoshimi like this, even though she knew that Hoshimi was mostly putting on an act, she had known her for so long and Hoshimi had never really harmed her. Especially now that Hoshimi was slowly transforming from a high and mighty goddess into a human woman, would she experience a significant emotional drop?

He recalled a sentence that Kayano had once told him: this world was created by his predecessors with a lot of effort. It seemed that the worlds created by different gods were all different. So far, Aoi Natsuki had not felt that this world was any different from his original world. If it could achieve such realism, then Hoshimi was definitely not just the mischievous god who only knew how to cause trouble and seek fun, but should have many more aspects.

"It's not that serious. I'm sorry, I was biased in my expression just now. Can you just pretend I'm fine?" Aoi Natsuki sighed. He knew how the other person would react after he said that, but he didn't care. Whether it was sincere or just an act, Hoshimi's appearance just now really frightened him. So he decided to leave it at that for now.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Hoshimi Hitomi's two sorrowful eyes immediately lit up with joy, her lips slightly upturned, and her eyes glistened with tears as she looked up. Was it really necessary to be so exaggerated?

She sniffed, pouted slightly, and said, "Please stop playing with my feelings, okay, Aoi-kun?"

"Saved my life..." Aoi Natsuki didn't know what to say. He knew she was faking it, but seeing her sad and upset expression, he still couldn't stand by and watch. He used to be prejudiced against Hoshimi, thinking she had pretended to be his good brother and spent more than a year with him. But as they got to know each other better and met again in college, Aoi Natsuki had long forgotten about that incident. Or, thinking about it again, without Hoshimi's help, he wouldn't have met Sakurajima or Hayakawa, and thus wouldn't have been able to improve his relationship with Takahashi. He also wouldn't have met his girlfriends like Ryuzaki and Ayano. Hoshimi often said that he surprised her, but Aoi Natsuki thought about it for a long time and realized that Hoshimi had always been guiding him to make the right choices, just in a somewhat special way.

"You've been the one making fun of me all along." Aoi Natsuki's voice softened, and she let out a soft sigh.

Hoshimi Hitomi grinned, leaning forward with her ample breasts pressed against the edge of the table. She covered her mouth with her left hand and whispered in a voice only Aoi Natsuki could hear, "Wouldn't this make us look like a young couple?"

"Hey! You can't just say things like that!" Aoi Natsuki's sudden reaction drew the attention of the surrounding customers. Many people had already noticed this side. Such a beautiful girl, chatting so enthusiastically with this guy who was only considered good-looking, made many men envious. He felt the gazes on him, and then his high shoulders slumped down, his brows furrowed slightly, and he glanced at Hoshimi.

Hoshimi Hitomi changed her previous worried expression, shook her head, and her smooth hair swayed from side to side. The next second, she used both hands to remove the hair tie that was holding her hair in place, and then skillfully held her hair with one hand and tied it up with the hair tie again. The whole action gave people an ethereal atmosphere. Aoi Natsuki's gaze only lingered for a moment before immediately looking away.

I would rather not have such a blessing.

Hoshimi continued to prop her chin up with her hand, staring intently at him. She pointed to the table with her left hand and said, "During our break time, a man and a woman meet alone at a family restaurant. To others, we should look like a couple, right? Look, look! At a 45-degree angle to your right, that guy is so angry that he's stuck his fork into his drink. Haha, isn't that funny?"

"..." Natsuki Aoi's brain gradually shut down. He didn't listen to what Hoshimi said afterward because he had just made a terrible assumption in his mind for a moment, and he couldn't forgive himself for the thought that had just occurred to him.

If I were to meet Hoshimi alone for a meal, would that count as a date...?

P.S.: The extra chapters will be completed at the end of the month, so I will be adding more chapters. Listen, the writing superman is coming back! I'll write 40,000 words in the last few days.

Extra Chapter 26. For me to fall for you, do I need you to fall for me first?

……

The next day.

Because of the limited time during the holiday, Aoi Natsuki immediately arranged to meet Kayano according to the schedule on the plan sheet. According to Hayakawa, if the two of them want to make a good first impression on their first date, their attire will be a big plus. The beautiful atmosphere is a feeling that Hayakawa has been trying to create for the past few years, which is to give others the first impression of "Eh? This girl is quite cute".

Before leaving, Hattie specially came to the house, bringing a few decent outfits for the date. She pushed Aoi Natsuki upstairs to the second-floor bathroom and began to groom his face. Aoi Natsuki had never imagined that one day his face would be as smooth as a peeled egg. Hattie used to be an idol, so after a long time of makeup, she was very skilled at skincare, makeup, and fashion. After washing his face, she first applied a face mask to him. Aoi Natsuki was a little at a loss. At this moment, he could hear the voices of girls talking downstairs.

Half an hour later, Aoi Natsuki met all of his girlfriends downstairs. Yes, all of them. A group of them were sitting on chairs in the dining room. Hearing the sound, they all turned around to look at Aoi Natsuki. Ayano was the first to exclaim in surprise, praising Hattie's outfit as very good.
