I Became the Companion of the Gods

168 – EP.32 Exciting board game -6

Miho, who brought a packed lunch for me, invited me to eat with him.

What do you say to Miho?

From noble mtl dot com

Let’s say you get this problem.

Then the choice given to me would probably be something like this.

[1. Good.]

[2. Okay.]

[3. OK.]

[4. Thank you.]

[5. I will eat well.]

There were only five options that popped into my head.

However, the options in this world were completely different from the options I had in mind.

[It’s lunch time. Decide where to spend your meal time.]

[Odd – Classroom, Even – Student Cafeteria]

[Result ‘6’.]

“Stop it now… ! I’m really dying like this!”

[Please go to the student cafeteria.]

Again, my damn luck forced me to decline the event with Miho.

My heart wanted to eat lunch with Miho in the classroom and live in harmony.

The game system was forcing me to move towards the restaurant.

In this way, only Miho’s lunchbox prepared for me and herself were left in the classroom.

This made me feel terrifying fear and, at the same time, heartbreakingly painful.

Although it’s a game, Miho always wants to spend her school life with me.

However, he had never been through an event so far, so he was spending his time alone.

Although they are in the same position as childhood friends, they barely spend time together.

Miho’s head was lowered while leaving the lunch box that was my portion on the desk.

‘I’m sorry, Miho.’

If I get an item in the future, I decided to use it on Miho as much as possible.

Waiting for her event to meet her someday…….

Student cafeteria.

This is a so-called soup kitchen, where students’ meals that change every day are distributed.

However, the student cafeteria in this worldview was different from the places I went to.

It was a system in which various menus that students would like were prepared and students selected and received rations.

‘It seems Yata put a lot of thought into the implementation of the meal part… ….’

Even the menus were all course meals, full of delicacies that you wouldn’t normally eat.

The options are divided into 3 categories, and the themes are divided into 6, 20, and 30.

A variety of dishes were prepared using the finest beef and pork.

Hae prepared all kinds of seafood in various variations, such as grilled fish, sashimi, sushi, and soup.

Gong made people’s mouth watering with a dish using chicken bones, ducks, and eggs.

In conclusion, quality cooking themes that look so delicious that it’s hard to choose either one.

Still, I had to make a choice in the end, so I chose the year in the end.

The reason was simply that he did not eat often.

Except for Yata, there were no pets who preferred seafood, so it was quite rare to see them on the table.

‘Even though I got sick of eel and oysters… ….’

Anyway, I grabbed a tray of seafood courses and started searching for an empty seat.

The inside of the restaurant was crowded with students and teachers.

It’s good that extras were made to give a sense of reality, but I think we made too many of them.

Though, fortunately, there was one empty seat left, so I went ahead and sat down without delay.

Certainly, making people eat while standing in the game must mean that they have given up on convenience.

Yata, who makes everything perfectly, couldn’t make a game without considering convenience.

“I will eat well.”

The time when I was about to start a full-fledged meal with chopsticks.

Someone put a tray down in front of me.

Then, naturally, I sat down in the empty seat across from me, so I put my chopsticks down for a moment and looked up to see a familiar person there.

“Hey, excuse me.”

“Uh uh… ?”

The sharp eyes and dignified voice were a bit unfamiliar, but the exterior was a sure thing.

She

And she, like the other divine beasts, took on a human form without ears or a tail.

“Could it be Kor… ?”

“What is that expression? Are you saying you forgot me?”

“Oh no! I was just surprised at how different he was from his usual appearance.”

“That’s right. Usually I was on the soft side. But as you can see, after coming here, my personality and the way I speak have changed. Do you hate me like this?”

Cor’s appearance now is the face he shows when he’s angry.

I don’t see her very much, so even though I’m unfamiliar with her, she is also my lovable companion wolf.

So I shook my head as I looked at her sullen expression.

“No, the current Cordo is attractive enough to me. So you don’t have to worry about it.”

“Is that so?”

I actually quite like the changed cor.

Should I call it a coercive yet strong sister mode?

Her mild-mannered woman suddenly swears and looks down on her opponent, which makes her shudder.

To be able to see Kor like that throughout the game is like an industry reward to me.

If it wasn’t for Miho and Tia, they might have asked to step on it lightly.

“Ha ha! Thank god. What if I didn’t like it?”

“There’s no way I would hate it if it was the same no matter what, right?”

“That is also true. I was an idiot for thinking like this, but f*ck.”

“Rather than that, did you come here to eat Cordo?”

“Right. A strange message popped up in front of me and told me to go here. So I came to see you, aren’t you right here?”

Cor grins and adds that he was lucky.

I shuddered once again at the cheerful and easy-going sister-like aspect.

If Hresbelg resembles even half of Cor now, he can sign immediately.

It’s a pity, but Hresbel’s charm is that he’s stupid.

“Anyway, that’s surprising.”

“What?”

“I thought he was eating with Miho, but I thought he was eating alone here.”

“Ah… ….”

Reminds me of the image of Miho that I had forgotten for a while, and her heart thumps again.

I feel sorry for Miho thinking that she will be eating alone in her classroom by now.

“Looks like there are circumstances you can’t avoid?”

“Yes.”

I wonder if my current feelings were showing on my face?

Cor understood my feelings and encouraged me to cheer up.

As expected, Cor was still Cor even though his personality had changed.

A companion animal that takes care of and thinks of others before itself.

I felt like I could confide in her about my current worries.

“Actually… ….”

I confided all her facts and concerns to Cor.

She said that it bothered her that she hadn’t been with Miho at all until now.

Even though she is afraid of Miho’s jealousy, she doesn’t hate her blind love.

However, currently Miho’s jealousy is swelling, but she is not receiving any love from her.

Not only Miho, but she doesn’t want me either.

That said, the game’s system was interfering with everything that I could do.

“I was in that situation.”

“So I’m dying of frustration. First of all, I think I need to somehow get an item that raises my liking and go all-in on Miho.”

“Mmm. Do I really need to do that?”

“But there is no better way….”

“This is just my opinion, but I rather think that using an item for Miho is a handshake.”

“Why?”

“You two are in the same class, so unlike the other Shinsoo, you can see each other every break.”

“Yes.”

“Then, shouldn’t we do whatever we can to increase Miho’s liking during the break?”

“Ah… !”

How come I never thought of that?

The problem was that I was caught up in the stereotype that I had to go through an event in order to increase my liking.

Forgetting the advantage of meeting Miho at any time.

“In that short amount of time, I had to increase Miho’s liking!”

“That’s right.”

There was a reason why Miho’s likeability was slightly lowered every time I saw the events with other people.

Because there was an advantage of being able to raise Miho’s favorability rating whenever there was a break.

It seems that Yata has set Miho’s favorability rating down when he sees the events with others in consideration of balance.

‘The Clever Crow… ….’

If I had known this too late, I would not have been able to complete this game.

The confirmation of the bad ending, it is not enough to say thank you many times to Kor who reminded me to avoid this fate.

“Thank you so much, Cor! Thanks to you, I’m starting to see hope.”

“Thank you. I didn’t do anything particularly big, so what?”

“No. What you just told me was a real help to me! I will definitely repay this favor someday!”

“Then there is only one thing I want right now…….”

Cor wiggles his fingers.

Even if you have a personality like a cheerful older sister, it seems embarrassing to be shy.

“Tell me. I’ll do anything I can.”

“That, then. Not Miho during this lunch break…… Won’t you just look at me?”

As soon as he finished his words, Cor, whose face turned red, looked at me and the floor shyly.

Seeing this, my third leg began to swell greatly.

As if shaking, saying that I have to wake up now.

‘…… A win, a win.’
