Meanwhile in Nowhere...
"Looks like the game is getting started"LOVE giggled
"The boy is still naive, but I think he'll do just fine"FATE looked at the tablet broadcasting May waiting for Eren
"How about we make this game more interesting?"FATE told LOVE
"Oh, you mean that? Ok just don't get carried away. We don't want our toys being broken, right?"LOVE agreed as FATE unwind a bit of her ribbon and drops it in the tablet causing it to glow blue a bit.

Central Park, 3:40 pm
May is waiting at the park entrance. "That idiot is late as always" May grumbled, "That's why l always wake him up all the time"May thought as she starts to remember their first meeting together.
...
"You should n,t hurt people weaker than you!" 8-year old May defending 8-year old Eren from the bullies.
With May's surprise, Eren punched May's back.
"Hey! What are you doing you idiot! Don't you see I'm trying to prot-"May was cut off short by Eren saying.
"Who said I'm weak?"Eren said with a cheeky grin as he punched one of the bullies and May was speechless as she also joins in the fight.
In the end, both children are walking home full of bruises and scratches.
"Um, thanks"Eren said to May,"For what?"May responded
"For being brave even if your scared"Eren said. "How did he know that?"May thought, "No one stood up to me like that since forever. So thanks for being brave for me" Eren said with a smile. May lightly blushed in response but she tried to hide it away by saying "W-well, you better explain these bruises to my mother when we reach at my home " May said in a typical tsundere fashion. "Sure" Eren said "I'm Eren by the way", "May, my name is May" May said to Eren.
...
"May!" Snapping May out of her daydream. She saw Eren running towards her. "May, I'm here. I'm not late right?"Eren gasping for air. "Your late for 10 minutes, dummy!" May said. "S-sorry" Eren apologized. "Come on, let's get in already," May said as she walked inside the park.
"You're maybe an idiot, but your my idiot" May said to herself as she smiled.
-o-o-o-
[May is happy, +10 affection]
Eren received his notification "At least, this power is useful in some ways" Eren said to himself.
"Eren, let's buy some ice cream!" May pointed at an ice cream van parked at the side of the park.
"Okay, what flavor do you want?"Eren asked, "Vanilla, vanilla is my favorite!"May said happily.
[You learned May's favorite flavor,+2 Intelligence]
The 2 bought their ice creams then sat down a nearby bench. Eren looked at May licking her ice cream cutely. "She looked like a cat" Eren blushed.
A drop of her ice cream suddenly dripped between her breast alerting Eren. But May remained oblivious to the drop of ice cream. Eren continued to stare at it as the drop deeper between her breast. Eren started to panic, "Okay Eren, you need to warn her without you getting killed by May" Eren thought nervously.
May noticed Eren's gaze, "What are you looking at-" May stopped and her face turned red and an angry face formed.
"W-WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT, IDIOT!!!" May screamed. "May!Wait!"Eren braced for impact.
Time froze...
Please choose a response
A-[Nothing!}
B-[Sorry!]
C-[At your melons of course]
"What kind of unfair choices are these?! All of them are bad!" Eren complained.
"What idiotic entity would make these choices?!!"Eren said cursing the unknown.
Meanwhile in Nowhere...
FATE and LOVE both frowned at Eren's response
Back to Eren...
Time suddenly unfroze without him choosing a response, "What"Eren sees a hand hitting his face with an angry May.
SLAP!
A loud slapping noise was heard around the park.
[Achievement Unlocked: Insulting the Unknown: You shouldn't have said that]
[Achievement Unlocked: Like the Sun: You stared at boobs for too long]
-o-o-o-
"Geez, then tell me next time!"May wiping off the ice cream that fell down her chest still with an angry face.
Eren still holding the side of his face that May slapped. "Putting aside that, let's continue our date" Eren said making May blush by reminding their "date".
"F-Fine, let's just go already. I'm g-getting bored anyways!" May running the opposite direction, "May, wait up!" Eren followed her.
The remaining date went normal. They wandered around the park admiring the greenery. They played with the kids they met in the park. This kind of experience really melts your stress away.
It was late afternoon now, the 2 sitting on a beach looking at the sunset.
Eren enjoyed the date and May did too. He looked over May still looking at the sunset. Her hair flows with the wind and the orange tint of the sunset creates an afterglow around her.
Eren would be lying if he didn't say she wasn't beautiful.
"Hey Eren, can I ask you a question?" May suddenly asked snapping Eren out of his trance.
"Uh, sure" he said
"Do you hate me?"May said still looking at the sunset.
Time froze...
Please choose a type of response
A-[Tell her the truth}
B-[Lie]
⚠️Warning: Choosing the wrong choice can permanently lock the route of Heroine May!⚠️
"Warning? This is serious, what do you mean permanently lock the route?"Eren thought.
Did he hate her?
No
...
Did he love her?
I don't know
Telling the truth might hurt her but lying will do nothing but create more misunderstandings.
Eren chose to... tell the truth. *SAVED, Timeline Selected
Time resumed
"You're violent and short-fused and most of the time you vent your anger to me. Plus you are so un-lady like and I can't understand why you're so popular to the entire school" Eren said bluntly and coldly as possible. May felt her heart crack a bit.
"I-I understand, I should go now" May said as stood up the bench. Trying to hold back her tears, "I'm an idiot, of course he'd hate me after the way I treated him" May thought.
But she felt a hand wrapped around her wrist.
"But, I don't hate you. Despite all of that, you stayed the brave girl I met years ago. The one who puts others before herself, and to me that's really cool" Eren said.
May blushed in response to Eren's response.
"You're special to me" Eren smiled. May blushed even redder.

May remained speechless then she raised her hand and hit Eren at the top of his head.
BONK!
"Ow! What was that for?!" Eren complained
"That's for insulting me" May said
"You-" he said but he was interrupted by May kissing him in the side of his cheek.
"And that's for being sweet" May flashed a smile full of joy
Her smile was amazing as the sunset rays makes the scene even more beautiful. Eren was speechless
Suddenly, time froze and took a picture of the scene

⚠️ [Important Event Triggered!]⚠️
-o-o-o-
Eren and May are walking home beside the street. "Did you enjoy the date?"Eren asked. "Yeah! It was really fun!" May said with a smile.
"May Reed"
Age:18
Relationship: Crush Crusher
Affection Points (0/100)
Eren looked at her and smiled also. "She's so happy. I'm glad that she had fun too" Eren thought.
Without a warning, a sudden gust of wind blows behind them causing May's ribbon to unravel and carried by the wind.
"My ribbon!" May chased after it. "May, wait!"Eren followed her.
The ribbon settled down in the ground. May crouched to pick it up.
HOOOOOOOOOOONK!!!
A bus appeared at full speed going straight to May. May's eyes widened as she realized that she was in the middle of the road.
"MAY!!!"Eren shouted
Eren was represented by the usual 3 choices. But unlike the other times. Time slowed with a timer at the top instead of being frozen. With the bus almost hitting May.
5...
Please choose an action
A-[Warn Her]

"Wait, WHAT?!!" Eren exclaimed

"Why didn't time freeze?!!"Eren yelled
3...
"Okay, Eren think! You have only a few seconds to act!" Eren said
2...
"Shit! The bus is already too close to May!" Eren said
1...
"Screw it! I'm going for it!", Eren chose Option B *SAVED, Timeline Selected
Time seemed to slow down as Eren ran after May to save her. May remained frozen in shock.
But no matter how hard he tries. There's simply isn't enough time to reach her
May's smile flashed inside Eren's mind
"But, I don't care because all I want is to PROTECT THAT SMILE!!!"Eren screamed as he ran
[ skill activated]
Suddenly, the bus' front wheels hit a bump in the road causing it to move right. Giving Eren a small amount of time to save her.
CRASH!!!
The bus crashed into the side of the road as Eren tackled May in the middle of the road. The 2 fell down the other side of the road.
"May, are you okay?!"Eren inspected her for injuries
"Eren" tears formed in May's eyes
"Eren, I WAS SO SCARED!!!"May hugging Eren crying on his shoulder. Eren just hugged her back trying to comfort her as people started to surround them.

"FATE, did you do that?" LOVE questioned FATE with anger in her voice.
"I told you, I'll make this game more interesting" FATE just said with no emotions in her voice.
LOVE glared at FATE for a few seconds before bringing back her attention to the tablet. "Whatever" LOVE said as they continued their game.
