6 Main Heroines Who Absolutely Want to Monopolize Me - V1 Chapter 3.1

Idols, Actresses, and Influencers at the Amusement Park 1

“Reserved?! It’s the best!!”

As if declaring this place to be the center of the world, the influencer Yuu Shibuya is shouting while recording a video.

“Looking cheerful, Shibuya.”

“You’re wasting calories, are you hungry?”

Actress Leona Kanda, dressed in a school uniform for a study abroad, has a relaxed smile on her face, while former idol Ria Meguro, wearing the same uniform in a more disheveled manner, has a sly smile on her face.

“If you think that kind of aloof attitude is cool, you better change it right away. This study abroad is full of extraordinary experiences! You’ll regret not having fun! Right, Shin?”

“Sure…”

As the camera is pointed at me, I avert my gaze elsewhere.

“Hey, you look all sweaty. What’s wrong?”

“Oh, don’t worry. It’s just hot.”

…Of course, it’s not just the heat.

This sweat is the result of extreme tension.

First of all, as a student at an all-boys school, going on a date with three girls is already quite a burden.

Moreover, this is Disney Land.

This place boasts the size of approximately 11 Tokyo Domes, making it Japan’s largest amusement park. It can be the gate to success for dates or the gate to hell——it’s a cursed theme park.

There is a rumor that couples who have their first date here will break up.

It is the place where communication skills and compatibility with women are put to the ultimate test.

Maybe that’s why Juujo-san chose this place…

Of course, my task here is not simply to enjoy a carefree date.

I’m here to find a partner whom I can spend my entire life with, without getting divorced as the president of Verite and, ultimately, the top of the Hirakawa Group.

In other words, while on a date, I must identify the partner with whom our interests align.

“Shinichi-kun, do you need a towel?”

A pure white handkerchief was offered to me as I was sweating profusely.

When I looked at the person offering it, Ria was looking up at me with a million-point smile.

As expected of the idol who captivated 100 million people!

“Thank you.”

“Oh, your face is red. Are you feeling feverish? ♡”

“Wha…?!?”

With a completely natural gesture, she pressed her forehead against mine, leaving me dumbfounded.

However, Ria herself seemed not to mind such a thing and chuckled.

“Rii doesn’t know if you have a fever or not, Rii’s just as hot as you♡ Hehe.”

My head was already about to boil over, making a kettle-like sound.

My brain sounded alert, thinking that if I were attacked any further, I might get heatstroke.

At that moment——

“Oh, Juujo-san!”

The goddess of salvation, Juujo Kumi, appeared seemingly out of nowhere.

After exchanging greetings, she cleared her throat and coughed.

“Now, without further ado, let me announce the content of today’s challenge here at Disney Land.”

“I’ve been waiting! It must be an exciting challenge, right?”

“I hope it lives up to your expectations.”

Juujo-san smiled a little.

“I wonder what it could be? It would be nice if it were something like ‘The cutest person wins.’ “

“Ahaha, that’s a good confidence. But with that, there wouldn’t be much meaning in coming to Disney, would there?”

Juujo-san cleared her throat with a light cough and announced the challenge’s content.

“Today, the challenge is to see who can generate the most of Shinichi-sama’s happy hormones.”

“Happy hormones…?”

Kanda frowned and tilted her head.

“It’s about the hormones that give a sense of happiness to the human body. It’s said to be three: ‘serotonin,’ which is secreted when you feel at ease and stable, ‘dopamine,’ secreted when you achieve something; and ‘oxytocin,’ which is brought on by connections with others.”

“serotonin, doipamin, oxytocin… No matter how many times I hear it, I don’t think I can remember it.”

Ria furrowed her brow and folded her fingers.

“Anyway, just remember that you need to put Shinichi-sama in a state of happiness. The smartwatches we’re providing all of you are our prototypes, capable of measuring the secretion of happy hormones.”

“Oh, a prototype! No wonder it looks different from what I’ve seen before!”

Yuu exclaimed as she pointed the camera at her own right arm with the smartwatch.

“When the smartwatch given to Shinichi-sama detects the secretion of happy hormones, the person closest to him will receive points corresponding to the amount of secretion. The person who accumulates the most points by 6:00 PM will be the winner and will earn the right to an additional date.”

“The person closest to him means the distance between these smartwatches, right?”

Kanda asked, and Juujo-san nodded, saying, [Exactly.]

“So, does that mean the person standing on his left is at an advantage because Shinichi-kun has the smartwatch on his left arm? It feels a bit weird that the score would change based on whether you’re on the right or left.”

Ria said as she clung to my left arm.

My heart didn’t seem to get used to this soft feeling at all.

“To prevent such unintended discrepancies, we will consider anything within 1 meter from Shinichi-sama’s smartwatch as the same distance. If two or three people are within the same distance when the happy hormones are secreted, the points will be distributed equally among those two or three people.”

“Hmm? But then, being close to Shinichi-kun all the time is the most advantageous, right? ♡”

“Generally, that’s the trend, but there’s one point to note.”

Juujo-san raised her index finger.

“When stress hormones are secreted, negative points will be given to the person who was closest.”

“Sutoresu horumon… what’s that?”

“If you do something unpleasant to Shin, you’ll lose points. It’s reasonable. For example, if Ria were to say,『It’s a service, you know ♡』and lick Shin’s eyeball, you would lose points due to stress.”

“Yuu-chan, you have quite an imagination! Rii wouldn’t do something like that, okay!?”

“I wonder?”

Yuu grinned, and Ria puffed her cheeks in annoyance.

What do you even mean by eyeballs…?

“Now, let’s move on to the task. Around 3 PM, we’ll have a mid-point presentation on the park monitors. As long as you follow the rules we explained earlier, you can do whatever you like.”

While listening to the rule explanation, I was contemplating what I should do on this date.

There are two significant things I need to assess with the first-time encounter group on this date, which are: ‘the authenticity of each person’s intentions’ and ‘whether those intentions will last indefinitely.’

This so-called happy hormone is likely something that is secreted due to temporary excitement or joy.

It might be possible to gauge whether someone is enjoyable to be with or not based on this.

I understand that it is an important aspect for lovers and is somewhat essential for married life too.

However, marriage is not just entertainment. It shouldn’t be solely about temporary enjoyment.

So, while leaving the judgment of whether it’s fun or not to the happy hormones and such that come from my body, I want to focus on getting to know them better as individuals.
