6 Main Heroines Who Absolutely Want to Monopolize Me - Volume 2 Chapter 1

It’s not a majority decision, it’s Shinichi’s decision.

As the Season 2 rule explanation begins, at rooftop pool at Roppongi Sky Tower.

Former Idol Meguro Ria sticks out her tongue in response to the declaration made by the host of the love study abroad, Juujo-san.

“So soon!? Rii is going to get tired of this heat!”

“It’s incomprehensible. If that’s the case, you should immediately separate yourself from Onii-chan. Just watching makes me feel suffocated and uncomfortable.”

When my right arm is wrapped around Ria, my stepsister Hirakawa Maon points out with a skeptical look,

“That’s right, Ria-chan? You don’t like being close to Shinichi either, right?”

And my childhood friend, Shinagawa Sakiho, pops her head out from my left side,

“But Shinagawa-san, you’re hardly one to talk about being attached to someone’s left arm, right?”

Sakiho’s comment is met with a smile from the actress Kanda Reona,

Honestly, it’s true that it can get overwhelming, especially with these two… Huh?

I notice that the usually most talkative girl is not saying anything. I shift my gaze towards her and find her looking at me with a perplexed expression.

“What’s the matter, Yu?”

“N-Nothing at all! …Let’s get back on track, Juujo-san!”

Youtuber Shibuya Yu turns her attention back to Juujo-san, urging her to continue with the rule explanation. I wonder what’s going on with her.

“The rules for Season 2 are as follows: ‘Let’s choose the same option as Shinichi-sama! It’s the ultimate two-choice game that will determine our lives.'”

“Wow, that’s quite the title call from Juujo-san! ♡”

“It’s incomprehensible. What’s so exciting about it…?”

“Well, let’s get back on track… Sakiho, could you please keep these two quiet for a moment?”

“The way you say… What’s with that title in the first place…?

Ignoring our banter, Juujo-san continues with the explanation.

“Season 2 starts with group dates, and those who make mistakes will be eliminated. The way to stay on the date is to ‘choose the same option as Shinichi-sama.'”

“Choose the same option as Shinichi?!”

“Yes. The option chosen by Shinichi-sama will be the correct choice. It’s not a majority vote, but rather a ‘Shinichi-sama decision.'”

“Shinichi-Sama ketsu…Shinichi-kun’s butt?” (tln : Ketsu is slang for butt in Japanese , also mean decision :kekw:)

“What are you talking about?”

Also Ria, please don’t casually touch my butt like that.

“During Season 2, everyone will be presented with two choices repeatedly through their smartwatches. We call these choices the ‘Fateful Decisions.'”

“Fateful Decisions…?”

“Just the words alone don’t give a clear understanding!”

Indeed. Then, let’s see it in action. Everyone, please look at your smartwatches.”

“Our smartwatch…?”

Juujo-san snaps her fingers, and a blue translucent window appears in the air above my smartwatch.

“What is this? It’s amazing!”

“It looks like a status window from an isekai story.”

It seems that windows have appeared in front of everyone as well. Not only Yu but even Maon is looking at them with sparkling eyes. It really gives off a futuristic technology vibe, and I can’t help but feel a bit excited!

“This is Hirakawa’s aerial display technology. Take a look at the screen. When faced with a Fateful Decision, it will appear something like this.”

The window displays the following text:

===

[Fateful Decision]

Where would you like to go?

A: Mountain

B: Sea

===

There’s a clock mark in the upper right corner, counting down from 3 minutes to 1 second.

“Does everyone else see this too? Rii, only I see mine…”

“Yes, it’s a highly directional screen, so it can only be seen by those directly in front of it.”

“A highly directional screen…?”

Mmmmm, Ria says as she puts her face between me and the window. She pulls back a little, i ended up smelling a faint sweet scent from her swaying hair.

“I can see it! Now I understand, it means you can only see it if you’re directly facing it!”

“Ria-chan, could you step away from Shinichi for a moment? Also, didn’t Juujou-san mention that from the beginning? Was it really necessary to stick so close? Was it necessary to test it?”

“Ugh, Sakiho-chan, you’re so annoying!”

“It’s your fault, isn’t it?”

“Well then, everyone, please choose between A and B.”

Juujo-san interjects, urging us to make our choices.

During Season 1, we waited for the conversation to settle, but it seems that approach doesn’t work. Juujo-san seems quite irritated underneath her stoic expression…

“Shinichi-sama too, right?”

“Ah, yes. Sorry.”

Oh, I’m annoyed too…?

Anyway, when prompted, I pressed “A: Mountain” in the aerial window, and the color of that button changed.

＝＝＝

Continuing the date by choosing ‘A: Mountain’ along with Shinichi-sama:

Sakaho Shinagawa

Yu Shibuya

Ria Meguro

These three individuals.

＝＝＝

“I see, so if we choose the same as Shin, we can continue the date,” Yu smiled and understood,

Reona Kanda raised her hand.

“In that case, what happens to Maon and me if we choose differently from Hirakawa?”

“Both of you will no longer be able to enter within a radius of 10 meters from Shinichi-sama. If you do enter within 10 meters, Shinichi-sama’s smartwatch will sound an alert, and an electric shock will be sent to the smartwatches of the eliminated bride candidates—Kanda-sama and Maon-sama, in this case.”

“Electric shock!?”

The voices of the six of us overlapped.

“It’s a low-frequency current equivalent to the maximum output of a massaging device, so it won’t cause any significant harm to your health, but it can be quite painful as a penalty. It’s best to avoid it if possible.”

“Isn’t it a waste of technology to add YouTuber-like functions to such advanced smartwatches? Isn’t it a misuse of technology?”

“Hey, Ria, are you making fun of YouTubers?”

“Not really~ ♡”

Ria and Yu clashed. The dynamic of idol versus YouTuber is still there… Or rather, Ria, don’t start a fight from all sides.

“I have a question,” Maon raised her hand.

“If this were the real deal, would Reona-san and Maon be permanently expelled from Season 2?”

“No. During the period, you can reset as many times as you want—meaning, you can come back.”

“Oh, that’s a relief,” Kanda breathed a sigh of relief.

“At what point we can come back?”

“After repeating the ‘Fateful Selection’ and reducing the number of people until it becomes a one-on-one date, the ‘Fateful Selection’ will still occur. If the opinion of the remaining person differs from Shinichi-sama’s, it will start again with everyone participating.”

“I see.”

It seems that this will be repeated multiple times during the period.

“And this is the final rule.”

Juujo-san pointed her index finger towards the sky.

“There are two types of ‘Fateful Selection’: one that is determined by the management and one that is chosen by Shinichi-sama.”

“Can I also choose?”

“Yes. You can decide both the question and the options, or you can decide only the question and leave the options to the management AI, or you can decide only the timing of the transmission and leave the content entirely to the AI. Well then, since this is a special occasion, let’s have the first ‘Fateful Selection’ transmitted by Shinichi-sama.”

“Huh, it’s already the real deal!?”

“Yes. Shinichi-sama, please.”

Prompted by her, I operated my smartwatch, and a button appeared that said ‘Transmit the ‘Fateful Selection’.’ For now, I pressed it, entrusting both the question and the options.

＝＝＝

[Fateful Selection]

How will you travel to the uninhabited island?

A: Helicopter

B: Cruise ship

＝＝＝

That was displayed.

At the same time, Pirorin♪ , the smartwatches of the five bride candidates chimed. It seemed that they were also shown the same question and options.

The time limit for this round is 15 minutes.

“As long as it’s within the time limit, everyone can change their choices as many times as they want. Of course, Shinichi-sama as well.”

“I see. Well, then…”

As the girls watched me make a choice, there was a moment of silence.

Then, each of them began to move, following their own thoughts.
