I, Uesugi Fuutarou, used to have this punk phase in my life, but ever since I met her, I wanted to improve myself. I wasn't well off in the least and I was studying to be able to provide for my family. I always felt like meeting her again, but I haven't. Right now I'm in highschool and the best in every subject. I'm number 1, but it never really seemed like it was enough. I bought my food and went over to my super special, completely empty, table. The thing is a red-haired girl with star accessories in her hair put her tray down at the exact same time. That's when it all started.

"That seat over there is empty. I was here first." I didn't recognize the girl for a second until I got a brief glimpse of a memory of mine.

Welcome to the Dating Sim System, here you will make five girls fall for you. You will make choices and play minigames to try and increase their affection towards you. Failing to do so will result in money loss, or in extreme cases…..death. 

'You have to be kidding me! I have to make 5 girls fall in love with me or else I will lose money and or possibly die!' 

No, you leave. I always sit here. 

Sorry, but I always sit here and I didn't mean to intrude on such a beautiful girl such as yourself.

Go to hell. I always sit here, so why don't you do us both a favor and move.

I'm sorry, but I sit here. We could share the table. A beautiful girl such as yourself wouldn't mind, right?

'What the hell! Welcome to….Dating Sim….great just great. Okay then, Itsuki Nakano. That's her name. A and C seem rude, even if I kind of want to say those to her. B is kind of creepy, the only somewhat normal one is D.' I pushed option D and the words came out without me needing to actually make an effort. 

"I'm sorry, but I sit here. We could share the table. A beautiful girl such as yourself wouldn't mind, right?" Her face turned red as we both sat down. I started to review my exam and study since it would be even more awkward if we just stared at each other...like she's doing right now. 

"I-I guess that you m-must be a bit bad in academics, if you're reviewing during lunch. H-How about we study together?" She took my exam without asking. Yeah, she is not in for a very nice surprise. Her face became even brighter, I could say confidently that it could light up a room.

"100%! You can tutor me! Fuutarou, please at least teach me a bit!" Everything stopped like before and I was left with four options.

I can try, but I'm going to need something in return for my time.

Of course, that'd be lovely. 

No, piss off. I have a lot more important things to do.

[Act like she didn't say anything]

'So this is my life now…...she does have a lot on her tray. She's probably pretty well off, so I guess I can do it as long as she pays me.'

"I can try, but I'm going to need something in return for my time." It felt weird hearing my voice without actually feeling like I'm saying it.

"O-Oh o-of course." Why is she turning red? 

"Money, I'm talking about money." She calmed down and ate lunch as Raiha, younger sister, sent me a message. Itsuki had introduced herself and even shared a bit of her meal.

"Hello? Really, a well-off family wants me to tutor for….that much! Thanks, we'll be able to eat normally now. Bye," Itsuki seemed a bit strange after my phone call.

"So who was that? Your girlfriend?" Oh her affection meter is pretty high now.

"No, it was my younger sister. She was telling me about a tutor job that my dad found for me. Anyways, we have to get to class." I headed over since I could still hear the whispers from other people. There would definitely be rumors by the time we made it back to class. The thing is, Itsuki followed right behind me. There was talk about a new transfer student, but it couldn't be her….right? I was wrong and so wrong indeed. Raiha told me that the girl I would tutor would be in the same grade and that she was in the same school. It was Itsuki Nakano, wasn't it? I went with Itsuki to tutor her since she wanted to get started right away. She must be pretty studious so why does she need a tutor?

"Are you following our sister?" Another girl that looked exactly like Itsuki with a stoic face grabbed my shoulder.

"No, I was hired as a tutor and she asked me to tutor her. My name is Uesugi Fuutarou, it's nice to meet you." I brought out my hand only for it to be slapped out of the way by another girl that looked like Itsuki with butterfly accessories. 

"We don't need one, so stop following Itsuki." She doesn't like me.

'You have got to be kidding me! Nino and Miku….okay so their triplets.'

I am only here to do my job.

I am only here to help out a friend.

I want to help out a beautiful girl that, so graciously asked me.

Piss off, I'm here to do something, so I'll be doing it.

'A and B seem a bit weird. Would saying those two drop Itsuki's affection score? D is a no go.
