… Several hours later.
Tadano had a helpless smile on his face.
"You know? This guy just wanted to give my goddess a good experience, but how did we end up here? Moreover, my shy and kind goddess turned out to be a hungry, insatiable demon who fought with me for several hours without wanting to let go until she passed out... I don't know whether to feel lucky or conflicted," he thought to himself.
Ding
[The Arrow That Pierces Hearts] has used a significant amount of divine authority to activate system notifications.
Beep
[Notifications online]
Beep
[The Lady of Luck warmly greets you.]
Beep
[The Corrupter of the Sacred charmingly greets you.]
Beep
[The Demonic Judge of Fire nods in your direction.]
Beep
[The Trickster of the Void is tied up and gagged in her seat with a Guilty hat, she cries in your direction and begs for your help.]
Beep
[The Musician of Paradise cheerfully greets you.]
Beep
[The Arrow That Pierces Hearts] demands that the host open the gift boxes for winning the love of the girls.
Beep
Tata: "Insensitive human! I've been waiting a long time for you to open them, but you seem to have forgotten! This goddess is very unhappy!"
Beep
[The Lady of Luck warns [The Arrow That Pierces Hearts] to stop using her authority or she will be kicked out of the room.]
Tadano: "..."
Shinomiya: "I thought it was strange that they were so quiet for so long... looks like something happened."
Tadano: "Come on, give me a break..."
…
After a while, Tadano understood the situation.
Apparently, in a moment of boredom, Loki [The Trickster of Chaos] decided to mess with the system interface.
As a result, the notifications and communication between him and the entities were interrupted. Although they could still see what he was doing, they couldn't talk to him. Only The Lady of Luck, being the strongest, could occasionally communicate with him.
This didn't bother the spectators much, except for Tata [The Arrow That Pierces Hearts], who felt powerless watching the gifts for winning the love of the heroines, in which she had put a lot of effort, being left aside for so long. True to her character, when she couldn't bear it anymore, she threw a huge tantrum. She took advantage of this moment, when Tadano was surrounded by Shouko's love, to exert her authority and forcefully activate communication again.
Tadano: "Alright, I get it... can you calm down a bit now..."
Ding
[The Arrow That Pierces Hearts] says that as long as the host understands...
Tadano: "..."
…
Putting all the commotion aside, Tadano looked at the holographic screen in front of him.

Shinomiya: "Happiness falls from the sky?"

Tomoya: Stares
Tadano: "..."
Shinomiya: "Hurry up, even I'm curious to see what you'll get..."
Sigh
With an exasperated sigh, Tadano decided to begin.

[Divine Musician]: "Complete mastery with any instrument your hands touch."
The young man had hundreds of questions swirling in his head, but at that moment, a violent surge invaded his body and began making massive changes within him. The young man's skin reddened, visible cracks appeared all over, and steam began to emanate from him. Tadano felt his body heat up, and pain started to invade every fiber of his being. Knowing what was about to happen, he quickly ran to the bathroom in the room and closed the door.
A few minutes later, Shouko woke up, feeling that the warmth from the young man had disappeared. Her drowsiness quickly faded when she didn't see him nearby. When she stood up, and before she could panic, she saw the bathroom light on. With a bad feeling, she knocked on the door.
Knock
Knock
Shouko: "Hito-Kun?" she asked, her chest filled with worry.
What met her was silence.
Not receiving a response, the uncomfortable feeling in her chest began to worsen. But before she could knock again, the door opened. When Shouko saw the young man's appearance, she was stunned. Her heart started racing wildly, her cheeks flushed, and she felt her senses dulling.
Tadano, still somewhat dazed from the change in his physique, didn't notice the girl's odd reaction. Suddenly, a red notification invaded his vision.
Beep
[Warning! Warning! The effect of the title [A Normal Being] has broken; current stats are reflected at 100%. Please take precautions!]
Before Tadano could wonder what precautions he should take, a figure jumped on him. It was none other than a frenzied Shouko. Her eyes were unfocused, her breathing was heavy, and he could feel something wet soaking his clothes.
Tadano: "Oh! Shit!"
At that moment, a wild atmosphere filled the room. Shouko pounced on Tadano with savage abandon and madness; the gentle girl had turned into a wild tigress whose ferocity only grew with every passing second. It wasn't until Tata [The Arrow that Pierces Hearts] taught him a method to control his aura that Shouko seemed to wake from her trance and collapsed without strength.
Tadano felt guilty for what he had put one of his girls through and, frustrated, asked his observers.
Tadano: "What the hell was that!?" he roared in anger.
The system beeped solemnly.
Beep
[Tata: "Simple mortals cannot handle the full power that has been infused into your body. As a consequence, when exposed to such power, they enter a psychotic frenzy that clouds their judgment. You haven't had problems until now because your change was gradual, and the effect of your title repressed any leaks, but now that it's gone and considering that your stats have doubled, well, this is the result."]
Tadano: "So, what am I supposed to do now…?" he asked worriedly.
Beep
[Tata: "Oh, either you round your points and activate the title effect again, or you put into practice what I taught you and learn to repress your aura. Personally, I suggest you learn to repress your aura because you never know if this will happen again."]
Tadano: "… "
Shinomiya: "I think she's right, and looking at it from another perspective, this is a good opportunity to practice the [Multi-Tasking] ability, plus it could be useful to use this aura effect if we have to fight a powerful enemy."
Tadano: "… I understand. I just hope not to hurt the girls like this again," he said with guilt while looking at the girl resting on the bed.
Beep
[Tata: "You can always pay off your guilt by taking her out, like today. Love is always the best medicine, and… GUUUUGHHH!!!"]
Before the Goddess of Love could continue speaking, a sound of interference was heard.
Ding
[Intervention time has ended… As [The Arrow that Pierces Hearts] has exceeded her authority and interfered multiple times with the system, she will be penalized with 3 months of silence…]
Tadano: "… "
Ding
[The Lady of Luck says not to worry; [The Arrow that Pierces Hearts] will be fine. Although she has been silenced, she can still watch your journey. This is just a penalty so she doesn't interfere too much with the system.]
Tadano: "If you say so…"
Shinomiya: "But she's interfered in other instances too, and…"
Ding
[The Lady of Luck smiles widely as she watches the host.]
Gulp
Shinomiya: "I didn't say anything…"
…
Author's Note: "Here's the chapter. I apologize for the delay, but I had to reread some things to remember certain aspects of the system. If I forgot anything, please remind me in the comments. By the way, don't underestimate these abilities. While the MC is strong, if you know who Momoyo is, you'll understand. Also, I want to emphasize that the fic will focus more on the romantic and playful interactions with the girls rather than pure action. With all that said, remember to drink plenty of water, and I love you all very much. Sincerely, your favorite depressed author."
