An Anomaly's Life Inside A Galge is Seriously too harsh for me!
---------------
Gray/Matsuri POV:
[Some...one...]
a lonely voice of a woman...
[Any...one.....]
shrill and Cold...
[Please.....come...]
filled with despair...
[Save...me...]
Sadness...
[Help....me...]
pain...
[I'm....Lonely....]
anger...
"what's happening!?"
I, [Gray De Bernardino] In a world filled with darkness, looked around left and right but everything I could see was all pitch black
Except for what's straight ahead, I see a White bird cage far away in the distance from me
with it, having Gold and Gemstone decorations that you can tell at first glance that it definitely is very expensive and noble-like just by looking at it
[Please...]
I then walked on the Road that was dyed in a crimson red color in this Pitch Black void to head towards the said cage
[help...]
I walked...
and walked.....
and walked.......
As I continued on walking closer, the Crimson dyed road shook and became more Violent
but as I walked, the voice's became more clearer to hear
[Someone...Finally]
"?"
I stood rather clueless and dumbfounded at the beautiful voice that I was hearing now that I was up close
[You...A Hero...]
"Me?"
[A...Hero...who...can...save...]
Me? Save? Wait what would I save?
[This...poor...Cannary...That...is...stuck..]
As I was now In a really close distance with the cage that I could touch it's white metal bars, I started to reach out my hands but-
[in...it's...cage]
The world cracked like glass, right before my eyes
[My Hero, I will wait...]
I desperately reached out to the cage and see something blurry
but I Could tell
That it was something or rather, someone there in the shade of red
[No matter How long, It will take...]
"Wai-?!"
[Farewell, For now...]
"Ga-hk!"
as I immediately Opened my eyes, I was Gasping Heavily and sweating buckets, my hands were already reaching out on the ceiling, while still lying down on my bed
"It was...a dream?"
*ding dong ding*
"ah! School!"
I immediately prepare for school while still wondering what was that dream about
"Nunyu!?"
"Wha?!"
as tofu tackled me on the face, I fell and landed on the bed
"Pyon!"
he jumped off my face and pointed his paws on the mirror beside my bed
"Ah! My necktie! it's all wrong!"
"Pyonyu!"
as tofu nodded a couple of times like it was satisfied with me fixing my tie
he held my face with both his hand and slapped me weakly making a pan* sound with which afterwards he procedeed to rub my cheeks
"Y-owch!? Hwey!"
Then again, with a satisfied expression, he went to the door and opened it, like he was telling me to go to school already
"Alright, thanks for the slap tofu! I needed that"
Honestly, Sometimes he's like a parent figure to me
"Pyon!"
Today was the Duel, and I need not time to think of other things
Now then, As I left some food for tofu to eat and proceeded to go to the Academy, I step out of my room and braced for the events which would happen today.

Princess Beatrice Un'de Giallo (3rd person) POV:
"Ugyaaaaa!!!!"
In a certain room, on the women's dormitory
"Uwahhhhhh!!!!!"
The first princess of Topazio Kingdom, Beatrice Un'de Giallo was still laying on the bed, kicking the air wildly and crying while biting on her handkerchief
"Jeez Princess...stop crying...it's morning already..."

said her maid, who was also a 1st year student of Lemuria Academy
The maid was one of the people who she trusted and was closest to the most, she was also her roommate in the game.
She had long natural Brown hair with a light orange tint that reached her back, tied to a curly sidetail on the left side of her hair, she had sparkly orange eyes, She wore her uniform like a gyaru, tying her orange sweater on her waist, she wore orange slouch socks that reached her knee calves, she was also extremely pretty that her beauty wouldn't lose out to the princess she serves, with a tightly waist and sexy body and a slightly more bigger voluptous pair of breasts than Beatrice,
"uu- He Hates me...I don't want to Live anymore Uwahhhhh!!!"
"Ugh your high-, Hahh. Girl you're like seriously really annoying right now, It's time for School!"
and despite their differences in Social Status, they had a relationship like they were as close as real sisters already
"Don't wanna! Uwehhhhhh!!!!"
"Princes--"
"Why are you calling me princess again! I said you should call me the name you always say to me when We're alone!"
"Urghh my Salary isn't enough for this..."
"I'll double i-"
"Deal!"
The maid cuts off Beatrice without Heistation
"You're too true to your Materialistic Desires!"
Retorts Bea while shouting
"I know, ufufu~"
Mumbles the Maid while Counting her gold coins one by one on top of each other making a tower of it while smirking
"Haa. I Guess I'll be a little late coming to class today"
As Bea got up from her bed She walked towards the window and opened it with the window making a woosh sound.
as the fresh morning wind and sunshine gathered towards her Cross Shaped Earings that started to shine
She stretched her hand up and looked at the Lemuria Academy's Bell tower from the dormitories
(Gray-san uu~ you Stupido!)
even though she knew that it wasn't his fault, she couldn't stop herself from blaming the person she loves
(but...If only I had the courage to tell you that it was me. Flavo, How different would things be right now...)
This was a side of her's that she herself hated.
---------------
Gray/Matsuri POV:
"I Apologize for my Attitude and Wrong's yesterday!!!"
While apologetically crying and with a smooth slide over the floor I shamelessly bowed my head- not.
like hell I'll do a dogeza!
but It's quite problematic right now
The truth is I've never once apologized to anyone sincerely in my previous life and in this one
In my past life, since I was a child, I would often get praised and surrounded with adults and people that always sucked up to my Ass. so I couldn't hold a proper conversation even once.
Any mistake that I did were just Immediately pushed aside by the people that surrounded me due to the excuses of "It's okay, you're a prodigy" or "The rich need not Apologize to the poor"
Even when I was openly doing wrong things, those words were just repeated again and again
To be Honest, I thought of myself as really Arrogant and Boastful back then, maybe I'm still a little bit of both until now.
I didn't really interact much with people, much more in girls.
So I grew up in a pretty conceited Environment where the standard normal conversations were only question and answer types that could only be Answered with a yes or no that doesn't even last for a minute
Advertisement
I'm gonna explain it in 3 simple words-
"My Parents suck"
behind that sentiment is where all my feelings of scorn and snare are
I just learned how to interact properly because of my one online friend who introduced the world of Eroge to me
Me interacting with people in this world normally throughout the years is all thanks to the Hundred's of Eroge's I have played in my past life
Maybe it's also the reason for why I act childish at certain times, but...I like this me...this new me in this new world.
Someone completely different from the old me, A Hitose Matsuri that is now free from his chains
"Haa."
Putting everything aside, I wonder how that friend is doing now...we didn't know each others Identity or anything of the sort.
we were just two people having fun with each other conversing about Eroge's and Dating sim's
Moving on, As I pass over the Gate of the men's dormitory
I see two Women waiting up ahead
One had long black hair wearing a white ribbon which serves as her identity in the Otome game counterpart while energetically swaying her hands up
And the other One had long purple hair with a slightly pointy ear, with her arms crossed on her chest
Yes they were Latina and Levi
I'll just apologize to them sincerely as I can...
As I walk towards them, I immediately bow on a 45 degree posture, then intentionally stutter like a coward-
"S-s-s-s-sorry!"
I did it! I apologized like how the protagonists apologize when accidentally seeing a naked heroine on the bathroom
"The f*ck?"
was what Latina said, I took a peek at her facial expression without moving my posture and what I saw, was a face that a reverse harem game protagonist shouldn't make. Ever.
"Haa. Master why are you apologizing like you've Accidentally seen one of us naked in the Bathroom..."
Wow Levi is actually spot on, It's a little scary to be honest
"Hahh. Screw this..."
I immediately fix up my position and apologized again. this time on my own way
"I'm sorry you two, For the wrongs I did yesterday!"
"G-Gray-kun, it's okay we should apologize too! We didn't side with you even though we've already known each other for so long..."
"Master I'm also sorry that I didn't side with you in the class, but this time, No matter how wrong you are, I shall always be with you"
That just sounds so wrong!
Wait. Hold up, why are they also apologizing? I thought they were just against me because of me feeding tofu a single piece of lollipop!
"O-oh uh yeah, Sure"
I just play it cooly and wipe my Unexisting Imaginary sweat on the forehead
"Gray-kun Im so Glad!"
"Bghuk!"
Say's Latina while half crying with both her hands beating on my chest in a Rythm
Her punch is...a lot painful than I thought...But I'll bear with it
"I was planning to do that first! Hng~ Why am I like this..."
and Levi at the side was pouting and was saying something while being all dere
"Phew~ What a relief"
this is what I truly felt. from the bottom of my heart
After talking with Senpai about women last night, I didn't fully notice until now but, I guess these two really are In love with me
And because of that, I'll always treat them both better from now on.
*Ruffle*
i reached out my hand on top of Levi's head and proceed to give her a headpat
"Fu-eh?!"
she was flustered like crazy, An onee-chan type of beauty was really red right in front of me
"I understand why you always act so Mature but, It's ok if you want to be more daring and attentive sometimes"
Now, not just her face but even her ears were red, she was smiling wryly while blushing hard and Latina was also poking fun at her
With things cleared up we proceeded to go to the classroom.
"next up, the boys"
-----
"S-s-s-s-sorry!"
with me doing the same bullshit I pulled earlier, I bowed in a 45 degree angle and Intentionally Stutter
"Aniki..."
Nino looks at me worriedly
"Gray..."
Takeru had an awkward expression on his face
"The f*ck?"
While the Cute Isabella had a face that I would not rather describe for...certain reasons
"Oh, Deja Vu"
"B-but we're the ones who should apologize to you!"
"Yeah!"
"That's right!"
says Nino and the other 2 behind him who were nodding rapidly
"So Aniki...we're sor-"
"I refuse!"
"""We refuse your refusal!"""
I cut Nino of by refusing him but the 3 of them immediately declined in a chorus while shouting.
Damn, why are all people in this world so stubborn!
"Alright then if you guys want to Apologize...will you keep being f-"
---------------
3rd Person POV:
Inside the Classroom, Everyone was looking at Gray who was Apologizing to his friends
"Alright then if you guys want to Apologize...will you keep being f-"
"F?"
Everyone in the classroom was wondering what that f where he stopped was meant
as Gray was stuttering, he didn't have the courage to speak out what he truly felt but he didn't want to waver
So he gripped his upper uniform's bottom part and looked down
"F-F-Friends..."
"?"
Everyone was clueless and tilted their heads from what he said because he was mumbling
then he looked straight at his friends, in the eyes-
"If you guys want to Apologize...will you keep being F-Friends with me!?"
"EEEEEHHHHHHHHH?!"
at that time Everyone was thinking
'What's with this cute creature?!"
Because Gray, the Honour Student of the 1st years.
The One who was Emitting a Murderous pressure yesterday.
*Sniffle*
was crying like a little kid
'No seriously, who are you?!'
Everyone who saw the Cool-Handsome type Gray crying didn't feel like laughing at him nor disgusted
Because that Image that he was now portraying was seriously really cute
Beatrice, Latina and Levi who were with the other girls in their class were flustered like crazy just from looking at his innocent crying face
While the boys, including the 3 turned away covering their mouths while thinking 'Damn that's cute'
"G-Gray-san! of course were friends! I would be Happy to be your friend!"
The first one to reply was the protagonist of this world, Anjou Takeru
"R-really?" *sniffle*
"Mmh! Mmh!" follows up the other two while desperately nodding
as Gray wiped his face that was filled with tears, he turned back so no one saw his face that was being wiped by himself
After so, the class now had a positive impression of him
---------------
Gray/Matsuri (3rd Person) POV:
(It really worked fufufu~)
on the other side of the wall, was a grinning Gray who wanted to laugh right now
(But still, I didn't think that would really work)
yes for he, Hitose Matsuri has all planned this from the start when he entered the classroon
of course he wasn't scum that he didn't want male friends
He just wanted to fix the class atmosphere that was disrupted by his Violent Behaviour yesterday
No ulterior motives...
He just thought that crying shamelessly would work, and which it really did
at his past life when he first played his first eroge which was also a Battle Academy Fantasy themed
"Power of friendship? ewww no thanks"
was his first impression of it
and even though he was really talented in many things at real life he sucked at video games, interacting and raising flags so in order to win-
"Kyahahahah Power of Money truly is the best~"
he just started and yet he already went to the 'pay to win' side of the game
in which after completing the whole game, he felt empty
and so, he restarted again and again playing with his own will and determination
he repeated playing more than a hundred times with his skills alone but he always ended up using money due to his frustrations
and when he finally finished the game without the use of money, he finally understood the whole game and even learned some lessons from it
"In conclusion, the power of friendship still sucks but with wealthy and powerful friends and allies that you flirt, help, inspire or show a sign of weakness like the moment the protagonist cried here, you can defeat the last boss?"
He had ulterior motives...
"Like seriously? you just picked up this one girl's eraser and now at the boss fight she's all 'Ever since that day I liked you'?"
"And you just complimented your childhood friend on how her father's sweets was but she blushes as if she made it her own and says that she can make her father do this for you everyday if you would like? Like hell I'd want an old man's Leftover Valentines Chocolate!"
"And this one dude who I picked the choice of 'stand up loser' on his dialogue boxes is now suddenly feeling power surging within him like he can now suddenly beat a thousand people at once? what the f*ck!?"
but even though he had many complaints he still enjoyed playing Galge's the longer he went on and as time passed
He now Understood that utter nonsense and bullshit would always exist in Dating sims but despite it all
"This is...actually fun!"
His past life Aside, he then learned many things about real life Interactions as he played more and more which leaded to who the person he is now
With a *Clack* sound, The sliding door to their Classroom and Entered their Class Advisor, Ursula of Barnaby
All the students then nervously seated themselves
---------------
Gray/Matsuri POV:
"Now then Children, Since we have 6 Apprentices Absent today, there will be 23 pairs of fights that will happen"
The Absent students seemed to be the five delinquents yesterday and another seat that was next to me which was empty since yesterday
If you look at it with the teachers perspective the class had a cut in the middle making the room have 25 seats on the left and right side 5 seats vertically and 5 seats horizontally per side
In the room Takeru has the Rom-com protagonist seat at the left side of the class by the window and I was right next to him
Isabella was in front of Takeru and in his right was also Nino who is also in front of my seat
[Theodore Foe Rouge], the Red haired second favorite capture target from the otome game was on the right side of the room at the 1st row in front
While Beatrice was on our side at the left she occupied the seat number 1 in front of the class
And behind Beatrice was Latina and Levi seated next to each other
"Time to pick your Partner~"
is what our greenhead teacher playfully said but by partner she meant who we'll duke it out with
after drawing the lots from the box, there were 4 Groups
Group Alpha, Beta, Constantine and Delta.
Those in Alpha, Beta and Constantine needed to win 6 matches while the Delta group only needed 5 to proceed to the finals because of there consisting of only 23 pairs
On the Alpha Group was Beatrice vs Takeru at the first round
On Beta was Levi, Nino and Isabella with different opponents but if Nino and Isabella win their first matches then they would both fight at the next round, and the winner between them would have to fight Levi for the semi finalist spot
I was at the Constantine group where I would fight with my other classmates
Delta had Latina vs Theodore as the first round
Wait, is this really just a coincidence?
both the Galge and Otome Game Protagonists and their capture targets were fighting each other...
I guess maybe it's like the natural law of this world?
"Okay Everyone! Chop Chop we're going to the Colloseum~"
And so, It begins
~Chapter End~
