Chapter 1

In the quiet corridor.

A boy wearing the uniform of Touji High School looked out the window at the cherry blossom tree.

A month had passed.

However, Yuki Snow's affection for him was only a pitiful ten percent.

This level of affection was equivalent to the relationship with a classmate whose name you only knew, and it could even decrease.

He had been a member of the Volunteer Club for a month.

At the beginning, when the affection system was activated, he confidently went to the Volunteer Club because the first female protagonist in the system was Yuki Snow.

Su Yu could only see her affection level last month.

Each month, rewards were settled based on the affection level; if it exceeded thirty percent, he could receive an A-level reward.

Below thirty percent, it was a B-level reward, which was essentially a consolation prize.

Yuki Snow was the character Su Yu was most familiar with and once liked the most.

Now? He couldn't say he liked her, but he could say he admired her.

As the high and mighty flower of Touji High, being in the same club room with her, although the atmosphere was a bit quieter, Su Yu didn't dislike that quiet atmosphere.

Occasionally, when he looked up at her, Su Yu felt very happy.

However, when she noticed him, it was a bit awkward.

Yuki Snow's characteristic cold gaze, like that of an ice mage, could chill one's heart.

Because of this, he didn't even have the chance to talk to her.

"Good shot!" A cheer came from the soccer field.

Su Yu came to his senses and glanced at the soccer field. It was probably Yamaizumi Hayato playing again.

Based on his casual observations, when Yamaizumi Hayato was on the field, the number of girls around increased significantly.

Especially his classmate, Miura Yumiko, whom almost everyone thought was a couple with Yamaizumi Hayato.

"As long as I don't get Miura Yumiko, I should be able to get an A-level reward, right?" Su Yu muttered, claiming the B-level reward at the end of the month.

"Congratulations, host, for obtaining the memory enhancement ability." A voice echoed in Su Yu's mind.

He was taken aback, feeling that this ability seemed quite useful?

Then, he looked at the virtual screen in front of him.

The page with Yuki Snow's information flipped over, and a new page slowly appeared.

When Su Yu saw the name clearly, he felt terrible.

Miura Yumiko!

...

On the way to the Volunteer Club.

Su Yu had a disappointed look on his face.

Even if he got Hirono Hime, he could at least try to get to know her.

Why did he get Miura Yumiko?

Was this making him approach the popular group?

Miura Yumiko's attitude towards boys other than Yamaizumi Hayato could be described as ruthless.

Although Su Yu was confident in his appearance, as a transfer student, it was difficult for him to integrate into the popular group.

Moreover, fundamentally, he, the former otaku, least wanted to deal with the popular group.

"Ah." Su Yu sighed.

"Do you have any troubles, Su Yu-kun?" A cool voice suddenly sounded in front of Su Yu.

He stopped and looked at the black-haired girl in front of him.

Yuki Snow, the high and mighty flower of Touji High, the first female protagonist in the affection system.

Her face was perfect, even without light makeup, surpassing most girls.

Her black hair was very smooth, and when the wind blew, it didn't affect her at all, but rather added a different kind of beauty.

Although her figure was somewhat disappointing, the absolute territory between her knee-high socks and the school uniform skirt...

That glimpse of whiteness made one want to touch it.

"Su Yu-kun, although I am beautiful, staring at me like this is impolite." Yuki Snow said calmly.

"Sorry, Yuki-san." Su Yu quickly shifted his gaze.

"Tell me, what's troubling you." Yuki Snow flicked her hair and looked at Su Yu.

"Can I sit down and talk about it?" Su Yu felt the corridor wasn't a good place to discuss things, and he hadn't decided what to say yet.

Yuki Snow didn't say anything more, opened the door to the Volunteer Club, and walked in.

Su Yu hesitated for a few seconds before entering the Volunteer Club.

Yuki Snow sat by the window, quietly looking at Su Yu.

Su Yu knew that Yuki Snow might really be looking for something to do, or perhaps she was genuinely expecting someone to seek her help.

He slowly sat down.

His seat was opposite Yuki Snow, with a long table between them.

"I've fallen for a girl. She's a member of the popular group in our class. Could you tell me where I should start to get closer to her?" Su Yu thought for a moment and said.

"What kind of person is she?" Yuki Snow asked.

"Her name is Miura Yumiko." Su Yu paused and said.

"I see, I understand. However, she likes Yamaizumi Hayato. For you to make her like you, it's almost impossible. Unless you can surpass Yamaizumi Hayato in every aspect, in which case she might notice you." Yuki Snow gave her answer.

"Is there any other way?" Su Yu didn't think he could surpass Yamaizumi Hayato in a short time.

"There is." Yuki Snow was silent for a moment.

"Huh?" Su Yu was taken aback. There really was a way?

"If Yamaizumi Hayato doesn't like her." Yuki Snow said slowly.

Su Yu was stunned for a few seconds, then stood up.

At that moment, he remembered that in the anime, Yamaizumi Hayato said he liked someone, and it definitely wasn't Miura Yumiko!

According to many experts' analysis, it seemed to be Yuki Hina?

Thinking about this, Su Yu looked at Yuki Snow.

Could it be that Yuki Snow knew Yamaizumi Hayato liked Yuki Hina?

Thinking about it carefully, this seemed quite reasonable.

Yuki Hina was very perfect and mature, possessing a quality that ordinary girls didn't have.

In contrast, Miura Yumiko...

Su Yu thought for a moment and sat down again.

What did Yamaizumi Hayato think of Miura Yumiko?

The answer seemed simple. Because of Miura Yumiko's existence, he wasn't bothered by most girls. He only needed to maintain his relationship with Miura Yumiko to avoid a lot of trouble.

In other words, Miura Yumiko was Yamaizumi Hayato's shield!

"Thank you, Yuki-san." After thinking about these things, Su Yu said to Yuki Snow.

"Do you really like Miura Yumiko?" Yuki Snow looked at Su Yu.

"Does liking someone require a reason?" Su Yu countered.

"The reason you joined the Volunteer Club was to pursue me, but I observed for a month, and you didn't make any moves." Yuki Snow's tone was very confident.

"I just admire you. Sometimes, I can't control some bad thoughts, but most of the time, I think Yuki Snow is a very beautiful existence, not just in appearance, but also in spirit." Su Yu said after a moment of silence.

"Su Yu-kun, I like your evaluation. That's why I kept you in the Volunteer Club. Your gaze isn't that unpleasant, and people who like reading books are usually good people." Yuki Snow smiled lightly.
