“What’s up, freshman? You look pretty.”
“Hello, senior!”
Thinking that if I'm going to play this game, I might as well do it perfectly, I bowed to the male protagonist with a prettily raised eyebrow. Then, suddenly, the pink school uniform vanished, replaced by a neat and pretty black uniform, and the backdrop transformed into the imposing school gate.
And then, with a flashing light above the male protagonist's head, the stats screen popped up again. It was a bit... bullshit.
“No... what the hell. Half-human, half-beast?? Who the hell came up with this kind of setting? This is fucking ridiculous.”
As the stats window popped up, the background turned black and white, and time stopped. Looking at the stats window, I clutched my hair with both hands like a madman and swore. Meanwhile, the light above the head of the half-wolf, half-beast named [Kim Seok-jin] transformed into a pretty heart.
[Currently measuring favorability.]
“…Wow, this is driving me crazy.”
I became the heroine of Miyeonsi
Episode 2
First Strategy - Kim Seok-jin (Half-Human, Half-Beast)
🌷
[ Kim Seok-jin's current favorability rating is 26%.]
“… This really sucks.”
The female protagonist, who just laughed and swore at the lower-than-expected favorability rating, was left with a protective shield around her that disappeared like pixels, and the black-and-white world was filled with color again.
"Isn't that Kim Yeo-ju? Judging by your black tie, you're a freshman. I'll take you to the main building. The school is large, so it might be a bit difficult to find your way around."
When Kim Seok-jin offered to take her to the main building, Yeo-ju didn't refuse. To be precise, she liked it. I'll definitely increase my favorability rating this time!! She thought, a 17-year-old single. ... However, Kim Yeo-ju knows more about dating and flirting than anyone else. She openly walks next to Kim Seok-jin, occasionally bumping hands and speaking shyly.
“Can I call you oppa, senior?”
A gaze that seemed as if she couldn't look at his face, slightly flushed cheeks (Kim Yeo-joo had a blush vest). The back of her hand lightly brushed against his. Then, a gust of wind blew, and she carefully brushed back her hair, finally glancing briefly at Seok-jin.
Kim Yeo-ju suppressed her pounding heart and looked at Kim Seok-jin's face, thinking, "Wow, if I don't get excited even when I look at this, I wonder if I'm human." Did she try to be disappointed by Kim Seok-jin's expression, which seemed completely indifferent?
“…Do whatever you want.”
Kim Seokjin's ears were burning red as he quickly walked forward, past the female lead with a resounding affirmation. And more than anything, the heart floating above Kim Seokjin's head began to distort, his favorability rating rising.
[Your favorability rating has increased by 15%.]
[Current favorability rating: 41%]
What is it, Kim Seokjin? It was more of a slap in the face than I thought.
Kim Seok-jin, who looked like he could make many women cry, was surprisingly vulnerable to verbal attacks. He also seemed awkward around women. The female protagonist thought he had a pretty good chance of winning.

“Thank you for bringing me here, Seon.. Oppa.”
“Okay, be careful on your way. Don’t get lost next time.”
Wait a minute, we're not really breaking up like this, are we?
The female protagonist was startled by Seokjin turning his back on her when she thanked him, so she quickly grabbed Seokjin's sleeve and said with a smile.
“I… Oppa, thank you so much, I’ll buy you dinner!!”
“Huh? How can a first-year student afford to buy food?”
“…”
I rejected this, now.
With my favorability rating quite high, I strangely assumed Seokjin would naturally accept, so I asked him out on a date. As you can see, he was rejected. I tried to be subtle, but Seokjin's words were a clear rejection.
So, when I turn around with a dejected expression and say, “Okay,” I hear a sweet voice in my ear again.
“Instead of eating, how about taking a walk in the evening?”“It’s the full moon today. I’ll give you a ride on my back.”
Shi-hair. So this is how a half-human, half-beast asks someone out on a date, Mom. If it were real, I would have fainted immediately at the words Kim Seok-jin would have said, but thankfully, Kim Yeo-ju remained conscious.

“Brother, did you have to wait long? Sorry…”
The female protagonist, who was about five minutes late for a dinner date, apologized and greeted Seokjin, who smiled at her. Naturally, time stopped and the stats screen reappeared. "Still, why bother stopping time while I'm talking?" she grumbled, but the female protagonist seemed to have gotten used to it and checked the stats screen.
“Wow-… This might be a bit difficult.”
The heroine tilted her head and rolled her tongue at the event where she had to hear "pretty" three times. But what can I do? If you're going to criticize, you have to criticize. I don't want to die again.
.
.
.
“I didn’t wait that long. By the way, your clothes are pretty.”
“…Oh, thank you!”
As soon as the event began, the heroine was surprised to hear the comment, "Pretty." She quickly replied, "What? This is going to be easier than I thought."
*
As I was walking along the road, I came across a beautiful forest, and a mossy sign read [Festival]. I asked what it was, and turned my head from staring at the sign to look at Seokjin. Seokjin, as if he had been waiting for me, answered.
"Oh, if you run through this forest for about ten minutes, there's a festival going on. It's a year-round festival, so not many people come these days."
What the heck? Why does that sound to me like you want to be alone?
Kim Yeo-ju interpreted Seok-jin's words, as he bashfully swept his large hand over the back of his neck, as "there aren't many people" to mean "I want to be alone with you." Of course, it wasn't wrong.
In the slightly pink atmosphere, Seokjin spoke first.
“···It’s going to be pretty cold since I’m going to be running with it on my back.”
“So, cover your clothes with mine.”
“..You don’t have to do that..”
“No, I thought you might be cold. I’m going to change anyway.”
“Then… thank you.”
I took Seokjin's coat, which had a refreshing and fragrant scent, and put it over my body. When I wasn't looking, Seokjin had already transformed into a wolf.
This date seems like it's going to be a bit exciting.
