"The sea! The beach! Swimsuits! I can't wait to be surrounded by beautiful girls!"
By the sea in Izu, the salty, humid sea breeze entered his lungs with each breath, washing away the stale sweat and overpowering perfume from the long bus ride.
Looking at the beautiful girls in swimsuits walking around in front of him!
The handsome boy's low chuckle escalated into an uncontrollable, triumphant fist pump. At this moment, his expression was wild, as if he were the king of this world!
"Mommy, is he a bad guy?"
"Don't look! He's a pervert! A pervert! You must walk around him if you ever see one again, understand?"
A cute mother and daughter walked past him, and the boy's foolish behavior was reflected in the beautiful mother's eyes, and she mercilessly labeled him a pervert.
Honestly, everything about Izu is great, except for the strangely dangerous people.
It's a real shame that someone so good-looking could be a pervert!
"Ah... damn it! Was that too much? But it doesn't matter, just a 'Mama-san' with her daughter, not my target!"
An arrow made of 'pervert' was suddenly forged and pierced his chest. Miyazawa Yu's body hunched and froze on the spot, and he spat out imaginary blood.
But there are so many beautiful girls in Izu, what's it matter if a passing 'Mama-san' saw him venting his frustrations? It's nothing to worry about for his dream of building a harem, right!
Miyazawa Yu comforted himself, wiped away the non-existent blood, and proudly lifted his head, assuming a carefree, disdainful look.
"Okay! I know, Mommy. Bye-bye, Mr. Pervert!"
Unable to understand her mother's warning, the cute little girl didn't know what the word 'pervert' meant.
She just thought that the handsome-looking Miyazawa Yu was very interesting!
So, even as her mother pulled her away, she insisted on turning back to say goodbye to the 'big pervert brother'.
Little did she know, her seemingly lighthearted words were like a kick after the fact, twisting around to once again pierce Miyazawa Yu's psychological defenses.
"Pfft— It's... a combo attack!"
Pierced by two sharp swords named 'pervert,' and hitting the exact same spot in his heart, Miyazawa Yu suffered double the critical damage.
His rigid body was completely shattered, and invisible blood flowed all over the ground.
His legs could no longer support his heavy body. The transmigrated boy, who was determined to find his own fish pond in Japan, was shattered into pieces in a corner where no one was paying attention.
"Wuwu... Damn it! Why is this world so cruel! Is loudly shouting out your wishes destined to be scorned by others?"
[No, Host! With the assistance of the Strongest God of Fighting System, you are destined to conquer Japan and stand at the pinnacle of the world!]
"Liar! Beautiful girls like cool guys who play musical instruments! Don't you understand that excessive muscle-building only attracts other men?!"
He slammed his fist on the ground!
Miyazawa Yu was speechless, with only two lines of clear tears slowly falling down his cheeks and melting into the soil of Izu, which was filled with the scent of beautiful girls.
In the beginning! In the very beginning, he was actually quite popular in high school!
The logical next step should have been to build a huge harem, get entangled with a bunch of beautiful girls, and then inevitably face a love triangle and get "chopped by a cleaver," with his head ending up floating in a lake.
But fate is unpredictable. Just as he was having a blast building his harem, this 'God of Fighting System' suddenly appeared and, without a word, gave him the bloodline of the Wu clan.
In just half a month! His height shot up from 180cm to 181cm! (Guys who say 180cm are definitely exaggerating; those who say 181cm are definitely underreporting!)
His physique also changed from a balanced teenage build to a muscular V-shape, the kind where if he stood in a school hallway, no one could walk past him!
The rest, as one could imagine, was history. Beautiful girls liked lean, handsome guys with abs, but they couldn't accept a boyfriend who was a massive muscle-head. His harem completely fell apart in a matter of minutes.
"System! Forget about your 'God of Fighting'! Can you focus on helping me build a harem? Please, I'm begging you!"
[Received. This system is dedicated to fulfilling all of the Host's reasonable requests. Please feel free to use it!]
Upon receiving the system's promise again, Miyazawa Yu showed a relieved smile and gradually escaped from the torment of being critically hit by the cute mother and daughter.
That's right! This is an everyday world, and there are countless beautiful girls.
Although his dream of a high school harem was completely ruined, college would be a brand new start!
It wasn't for nothing that he had begged his parents to send him to this place, so far away from Tokyo. No one here knew him! No embarrassing history of tearing off his clothes! As long as he was willing, a new life was within his reach!
Thinking this, Miyazawa Yu suddenly felt a shadow fall over him.
He looked up, and like God creating Adam, a beautiful lady in a sun hat, bathed in a holy light, extended her hand to him.
"Hello, why are you lying here all alone? Are you not feeling well?"
"No, my beautiful lady. I was simply so enchanted by this land. Miyazawa Yu. It is truly my honor to have met a lady like you!"
Young and beautiful! A two-piece swimsuit! No suspicious little kids around! Miyazawa Yu felt he had already seen his new beginning!
He scrambled to his feet instantly. He pulled his system-issued jacket—which could completely conceal his V-shaped physique—tight and placed a hand on his chest to express his gratitude to the beautiful lady.
"Is that so? Thank you for the compliment. My name is Nanaka Kotegawa. If there's anything you need help with, please don't hesitate to ask."
A strange boy—that was Nanaka Kotegawa's first impression of Miyazawa Yu.
However, the boy wasn't looking at her with rude, lingering glances, nor was he trying any tricks while shaking her hand.
And he had a suitcase with him, so he was probably just a lost traveler who wasn't good at socializing.
With that final assessment, Nanaka Kotegawa smiled gently and offered her help.
An angel!!!
Miyazawa Yu felt the holy light around Nanaka Kotegawa shine even brighter. In comparison, his own sordid harem wish felt utterly despicable!
But is this where it ends? No! Even if she's an angel, she's one of my targets!
His gaze instantly became firm. However, he decided it was not wise to rush when pursuing beautiful girls, so Miyazawa Yu did not immediately launch his offensive.
"Yes! Sister Nanaka. Actually, I'm a student here for school. A senior in the freshman group chat invited me to visit the club, so I came here as soon as I got off the train. Do you know where 'Grand Blue' is?"
'Just as planned!'
He kept a straight face on the surface but was secretly giving himself a thumbs-up for his brilliant maneuver.
Asking for directions would not only seem less abrupt but also naturally lead to getting her LINE ID. Then, he could use the excuse of 'thank you' to treat her to a meal, and the opportunities to interact would double just like that!
If he continued this way, Ms. Nanaka's favorability toward him would definitely skyrocket!
As long as she wasn't a lesbian, the rest—whether it was confessing or dating—would surely go smoothly. His harem would welcome a powerful new member!
"Eh? Grand Blue? That's my home! So you're a freshman coming to meet the Pab club! Come with me!"
Nanaka Kotegawa gasped and covered her mouth in disbelief. She remembered Ryuujirou mentioning that a freshman would be coming to Grand Blue to meet them today. She never expected to run into him on the way.
It was perfect. She had just finished swimming and was about to go home to change anyway, so taking Miyazawa Yu back with her wouldn't be any trouble.
"Huh?"
Stunned for two seconds, Miyazawa Yu was pulled forward by Nanaka Kotegawa as his brain went into a frenzy.
This wasn't right! This plot development was a little different from what he had envisioned. Was meeting her family on the first meeting too soon?!
Without a foundation of feelings, if the angel's parents didn't approve of him, he wouldn't even have a chance to turn things around!
But reality didn't allow Miyazawa Yu to think too much. Just as he was about to pull his hand away and change his story, he found that Nanaka Kotegawa's grip was surprisingly strong. He couldn't break free without tearing his clothes!
"Impossible! She's just a girl..."
"What's wrong, Yu-chan? Are you shy about meeting someone from the internet for the first time? It's okay, Ryuujirou and the others are all very nice people!"
Sensing Miyazawa Yu's resistance, Nanaka Kotegawa, who was well aware of Ryuujirou's desperate need for new members, wouldn't let this willing junior get away easily.
Taking two steps at a time, he was pulled by the angelic Nanaka to a magnificent diving equipment shop. Miyazawa Yu hesitated at the entrance, a little afraid to push the door open. After all, he was about to meet her family, and his current outfit seemed a bit too casual.
"This is it! Grand Blue Diving Shop. You go on in! I'm going to the changing room to get changed!"
Having led him there, Nanaka Kotegawa gave Miyazawa Yu a gentle push and some words of encouragement. She then shook her wet hair and headed toward the back door of the changing room for diving equipment.
Her long hair brushed his neck, and Miyazawa Yu subconsciously reached up to touch it. His palm was wet and carried the scent of sea salt.
'If I open this door, I can swim, or even dive, with the angelic Nanaka, can't I? How exciting!'
He secretly chuckled at his cowardice. For an angel, how could he surrender without a fight and retreat so easily!
So what if he's meeting her family?! So what if it's the diving club Pab?! What is there to be afraid of?!
He looked up again, the timidity in his eyes gone, replaced by the confident smile of a youthful boy.
He placed his hands on the doorknob and no longer hesitated, pushing the door open with all his might, for beyond that door was his new world!
"WAAAAA!!!! OutSafe, Rock-Paper-Scissors!!!"
The moment the door was opened, it was as if some demon sealed for a thousand years had broken free.
A black and red aura, accompanied by the over-the-top roars of male hormones, rushed out together. The powerful air current even blew Miyazawa Yu's hair into a slicked-back style.
His head was buzzing. He looked at the men inside, who were raising their glasses, their expressions anxious, and all of them were making Araki-style faces while either completely naked or half-naked. The light in his eyes gradually faded.
