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

Aoi Natsuki noticed a problem with this statement. If Hoshimi led them here to become ordinary people, then why did she hide her heart? Or why didn't she retrieve her heart? If what she said was true, she would fall in love with him at first sight the moment she got the heart and become an ordinary person. This explanation had once made Aoi Natsuki blush a little. So why would she help her make Kayano fall in love now?

Isn't that a contradiction?

Were all the previous reasonings wrong?

As Aoi Natsuki thought of this, her previously inflated confidence instantly deflated like a punctured balloon. Her reasoning could only explain that Hoshimi, due to her extreme perverse sense of humor, knew deep down that she couldn't win Kayano's heart, and was ultimately forced to take Kayano's heart back for her. This idea seemed pretty crazy. Even for Hoshimi, risking punishment or the destruction of the world to make such a bizarre move, she probably wouldn't do it.

Ugh, my thoughts are stuck again.

Aoi Natsuki lowered her head, looking a little dejected. After resting for a while, she stood up again, picked up a beverage can from the table, and said, "I can't figure it out. I'd better do something practical instead."

"What are you going to do?" Uchida craned his neck and asked.

Natsuki Aoi tapped the table with her right index finger, pursed her lips, and said, "Since I have nothing to do for the next three hours, I'll go play some games with Kayano. I'm leaving now."

After saying that, he walked towards the library entrance.

Seeing this, Uchida Otsuka raised her hand, wanting to call out to him, but she didn't make a sound until he left the doorway. After staring at the entrance for a while, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she murmured softly, "Baka, you finally came all this way, don't you have anything to say to me?"

If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn't have exposed myself so quickly. Honestly.

Extra Chapter 30. Okay, then let's go on a date.

……

Four more days passed, and as planned, Aoi Natsuki went on various dates with Kayano. However, no matter what the arrangements were, Kayano was unable to develop any romantic feelings for him.

Aoi Natsuki was completely exhausted. During that time, she played bowling, live-action shooting, escape rooms, and board games. Kayano was interested in the games, but that was the main focus. Their relationship had improved, and Aoi Natsuki felt that they were now more like gaming friends. Ah, if Aoi Natsuki had met her two years ago, she would have felt like she had met her soulmate long ago. Pure gaming partners are truly rare, but unfortunately, the focus now is not on games, but on their relationship.

At this moment, Aoi Natsuki and Kayano were sitting on a red sofa in the other-dimensional space. A monitor was placed a meter away from them, and the two were playing a game together. Now, Aoi Natsuki would come over to play games with her whenever she had free time. If she had no other choice, she could only come over and stay for a while, just to increase her favorability. In front of the gods, Aoi Natsuki's favorability system was useless, so she could only rely entirely on her personal feelings, which was really too difficult.

Unlike those women who only want to pique people's interest, Kayano genuinely wants to stay here. Under these circumstances, she hasn't even felt a single stirring of affection. While shocked, Aoi Natsuki also began to deeply question her own personal charm.

It seems that there is not much time left before the divine power disappears, at least judging from the two gods' other-dimensional spaces. Kayano's situation is not much better. The originally spacious area has now shrunk to less than five square meters. So now the entire space can only fit a large sofa and a large screen in front of it.

Hayakawa would occasionally come back, but to avoid giving herself away, Aoi Natsuki had to ask Kayano to change the location of the door so that Hayakawa wouldn't suspect anything.

The two had a lot of fun playing games, but this fun was not mixed with any romantic feelings between them.

Aoi Natsuki was a little helpless. During the game, he also asked about what Uchida had told him last time, namely how to enter this world.

Under his guidance for a period of time, Kayano Karin's proficiency in some games continued to increase. She was now able to play games while chatting with him, her eyes fixed on the bright screen. She said, "My situation is similar. I suddenly discovered that my consciousness could enter this world, so I came in."

"So easy?"

"Well, we didn't encounter any obstacles."

In response, Natsuki Aoi recalled her earlier theory and said, "Kayano, don't you think Hoshimi deliberately let the two of you into this world?"

"Intentionally? Why?" Kayano Karin's eyes remained fixed on him.

“Because Hoshimi wants to become an ordinary person through you, if you can’t get anything from here, then you’ll still have to take her heart for now,” Aoi Natsuki said.

"Hmm... that makes some sense. This explanation does explain why your heart is located in such a prominent position."

"Right, but then I thought about it again and realized that if she wanted to become a normal person, she could just go and get her heart herself. Why go through all this trouble and make us go and get it?" This question has been bothering him until now. With no progress from Kayano's side, Aoi Natsuki is also very anxious.

Hearing this, Kayano pressed the pause button for the first time, slowly lowered the controller and placed it on her lap, turned to look at Aoi Natsuki and said, "Whether it's Senpai's plan or not, it doesn't affect our current progress at all. I seem to... really can't like a human being."

"Is it my fault?" Natsuki Aoi asked with an awkward smile.

"No, Aoi, it's actually my problem. From birth until now, the ideas I've been instilled with are fundamentally different from those of humans. Emotional fluctuations are not only my problem, but none of the gods I've ever seen have ever mentioned them. This has led to the punishment of those gods becoming almost a legend, known only to some gods who have lived for over a thousand years. Perhaps I will never become an ordinary human being. I never knew that liking someone was such a difficult thing. But, Aoi, although I don't understand what liking someone means, I am willing to acknowledge you as my friend, at this stage."

"At this stage?" Natsuki Aoi asked doubtfully.

“Yes, once you obtain your senior’s heart and he becomes an ordinary person, the crisis will be over, and I will naturally become a god in this world. At that time, this feeling of friendship may disappear at some point. So, I can only tell you very clearly that it is at this stage.” Kayano Karin’s unusually serious demeanor revealed Aoi Natsuki’s attitude to her unwavering confidence.

Kayano made it very clear that he could no longer like her, and with little time left, he might as well go and retrieve Hoshimi's heart.

Hitomi Hoshimi becomes an ordinary person...

Aoi Natsuki then put down the controller, tilted her head slightly, and recalled that scene... Ah...

Unlike Sakurajima, Hoshimi is a real schemer, the kind who can trick you with a smile. Thinking back, I remembered how we sat next to each other and were best friends for over a year, and how I told her everything on my mind! I really don't know how she could resist secretly laughing at me when she saw me get the short end of the stick!

"Your senior is just a bit eccentric, but he's actually quite nice to you. You told me that so confidently when we first met, don't you remember?"

"I haven't forgotten... but if I really have to turn Hoshimi into an ordinary person, then my future days will be..." Aoi Natsuki looked embarrassed.

"It's not that bad. You wouldn't want your girlfriends to just vanish into thin air, would you? Besides, a senior who has become an ordinary person and lost their divine power shouldn't be any worse than before," Kayano Karin comforted her. She never imagined that one day she would actually put herself in a human's shoes to comfort someone.

Kayano's words made sense. Aoi Natsuki fell into deep thought, sighing three times in a row. Helpless, he had no choice but to do this so that the world could continue smoothly.

"Alright, but let's postpone the heart transplant for a couple more days. I need to go see Hoshimi again to avoid any problems."

"okay."

……

"What? You've decided to take back my heart? Aoi-kun, weren't you still working on Kayano's side? What? You've given up?" In the conference room—no, it can't even be called a conference room anymore—the space that could fit six speakers a few days ago is now only enough for four. Aoi Natsuki climbed in and felt cramped. After the LED lights on the ceiling shone for a while, he felt his left cheek start to burn.

“This is the result of my discussion with Kayano. I can sense the change in Kayano. She said she wouldn't like a human, but her attitude towards people has clearly improved in daily life. I believe that after some time, she will place more emphasis on being human, and liking someone is only a matter of time. It's just a pity that there's too little time now, so…” Aoi Natsuki coughed lightly, pursed her lips, and then her tone rose as she said, “I'm out of options! I'm at my wit's end! I can only do what we agreed on before: if Kayano fails, we'll retrieve Hoshimi's heart. Can you… do that?”

Aoi Natsuki swallowed hard, glancing at Hoshimi. He was terrified that she would say no, or he would have to give in completely.

Hoshimi Hitomi looked at the boy in front of her, glancing back and forth between his tense left and right eyes. With thousands of years of experience, she no longer needed to rely on any telepathy, especially with someone like Aoi, who could often understand the meaning with just a glance.

The next second, Hoshimi Hitomi's face lit up with joy. She straightened up and nodded repeatedly, "Of course!"

Phew... a close call.

"Thank you. When I first arrived, I bet you'd have a 90% chance of reacting this way, and it seems I was right," said Aoi Natsuki with a helpless smile.

"What about the remaining 10%?" Because the space was too small, Hoshimi only needed to lean back to rest against the wall.

"The rest depends on whether you suddenly have a relapse, after all, it's you."

"Oh ho ho, it seems you know me quite well, Aoi." Hoshimi narrowed her eyes and said in a low voice.

"Alright, it's settled then. When can we set off to retrieve the heart?"

"Wait a minute."

"Stop." Aoi Natsuki immediately interrupted Hoshimi, knowing all too well what was to come. Rather than letting her make demands, he decided to strike first. He turned to Hoshimi and continued, "We previously agreed that you could visit me every now and then, but now... once a week is fine. As for our relationship, I hope you won't overthink it. What happened between us before..."

"If I become an ordinary person, are you going to abandon me, Aoi-kun?" Hoshimi pouted and looked at him pitifully.

This kind of rhetoric...

Aoi Natsuki's face froze. Hoshimi's sacrifice was indeed enormous, but the thought of having to take care of Hoshimi in the future seemed incredibly unbelievable to him.

"Can't you like me?" Hoshimi seemed to sense his hesitation, and then leaned forward, getting closer and closer to Aoi Natsuki.

"It's too close." Aoi Natsuki simply extended one finger and pushed Hoshimi away again. "At this point, I definitely can't accept it. How about this, you can come over twice a week from now on, is that okay?"

"Aoi-kun, are you blushing?" Hoshimi asked curiously, staring at his cheeks.

"No, not at all." Aoi Natsuki looked away. In a small space, it's easy for some inexplicable emotions to arise.

"Haha, Aoi, you're not only very gentle, but you're also easily embarrassed," Hoshimi chuckled, covering her mouth.

"Can we get back to the main topic?"

“Of course, but before that, I have one request,” Hoshimi said.

The light shone on her cheeks, and her delicate skin showed no flaws whatsoever. Knowing that she wouldn't give up so easily, Aoi Natsuki had no choice but to nod in agreement.

"Speak, what are your requirements?"

Upon hearing this, Xingjian's face lit up with joy, and the upturned corners of her mouth hinted at the importance of this request. She stared at the dividing line between the two speakers and slowly said, "You've never done anything for me before. I think it's time now."

He then looked up at Aoi Natsuki and said, "Aoi-kun, let's go on a date!"

"Huh, huh? Huh???" After a while, Aoi Natsuki's brain was filled with question marks. A date with Hoshimi, this, this...

I had eaten alone with Hoshimi before, and we've met many more times like today, but every time Aoi Natsuki came with a purpose. A date is different. If I agree to a date, it means that the two young people are ready to get to know each other and develop their relationship.

Me and Hoshimi...

Dating……

Aoi Natsuki was stunned for a long time. When he came to his senses, he looked at Hoshimi and found that her gaze was fixed on him without wavering.

She wasn't joking.

Sigh, there's nothing we can do now.

"Okay, so which day are you planning to meet?"

Sin ah.

……

Going on a date with a goddess girl, the goddess who was once high and mighty, has now taken human form and is preparing to go out on a date with her. This is something that Aoi Natsuki never expected. The date is scheduled for the weekend. It had rained last night, so the weather was not hot.

Before leaving home, Aoi Natsuki told her three girlfriends about what had happened that day, and surprisingly, she received unanimous praise from them. Even Takahashi Mito, who was the most jealous, acknowledged Hoshimi's existence. Over the past year, Hoshimi had managed to train Takahashi to be exceptionally obedient. It's unclear whether this could be considered a form of verbal manipulation.

Natsuki Aoi took a deep breath and took the train to her date with Hoshimi. She had never felt nervous before, but now she was starting to get nervous.

Arriving at a store, I found it to be a cooking kitchen where families or couples could take cooking classes together. Cooking together is a great way to strengthen a relationship, and I'm really glad Hoshimi came up with that idea.

He stood at the door and waited for only five minutes before seeing three couples holding hands pass by him. After a while, several couples gathered in front of the small sign with the event slogan, and the men and women began to discuss interesting things about cooking.

Aoi Natsuki felt like an outsider. Come to think of it, he wasn't a handsome guy or a celebrity. He stood in front of the store, a little stiff, looking towards the street corner. Just then, Hoshimi Hitomi's figure finally came into his sight.

She was carrying a small bag and walking slowly with an elegant posture.

One of the people in front of the standee turned around and noticed the girl walking towards them, and immediately froze. As Hoshimi got closer, one by one, the people in front of the standee began to have a chain reaction. Upon seeing her, they were all attracted by her stunning looks and perfect figure.

Natsuki Aoi stared at her.

The dark red vest, with an orange belt cinching the waist, accentuated Hoshimi's exceptionally slim waist, creating a visually striking effect. It's a versatile piece that pairs perfectly with a simple denim skirt.

Her tall figure and elegant demeanor immediately captivated everyone present.

Just seconds later, the stunningly beautiful girl approached an unassuming boy, gently hooking her arm around his. Her warm smile remained unchanged as she tilted her head slightly, a strand of hair falling to the side, and she parted her thin lips to say, "Have you been waiting long? Can we go in now?"

Damn it! How does this guy manage to get such a great girlfriend?!

Extra Chapter 31. I can't stop worrying about you.

"Does it have to be this way?" Aoi Natsuki looked down at the arm that Hoshimi was holding and said in a low voice.

Hoshino raised her right eyebrow slightly, her eyes behind her gold-rimmed glasses narrowed slightly, revealing a meaningful smile. Then, she gently pulled his arm and leaned closer, saying, "Let's go in quickly."
