Don't make any recommendations, and let him choose for himself
After receiving Sora's request for help, I hesitate momentarily but fail to say what is on my heart in the end. To try and max out your Affinity is the most basic way to clear romance games, so I can't say that his choice is wrong.
After seeing my silence, Sora thinks for a long time before he eventually chooses the option to not confess.
Fireworks filled the dark night, scattering sparks everywhere and reflecting people's smiling faces with its fleeting brilliance.
Sora's eyes linger on the girl for a long time, but he doesn't say anything in the end and enjoys the splendid fireworks peacefully.
["Ryuushi"]Ichinose, I...
Boom— Fireworks bloomed at an inopportune moment, covering "Ryuushi's" words.
["Sora Ichinose"]Huh? What did you say?
["Ryuushi"]You... idiot!
[???]What's this? A gentleman must never make a girl angry.
A slender hand passes a tissue to "Ryuushi," and the owner of the hand looks at "Sora" reproachfully.
["Sora Ichinose"]...I don't know what happened. "Ryuushi" just started crying for no reason.
[???]Eh, I suggest that you don't say anything right now.
["Sora Ichinose"]?
The girl who had just stopped crying stomps her foot and turns to leave in the darkness, ignoring the confused "Sora."
A bright red dialog box appears. Your Affinity with "Ryuushi" has decreased.
[player]Who is this person who suddenly appeared?
[Sora Ichinose]He's the protagonist's university roommate. Based on how the events unfold, you can also call him the secondary male character.
[player]Hold on, why is there a secondary male character in a romance game?!
[Sora Ichinose]This is part of the hidden story. Also, the heroine has quite a high Affinity with him. Hmm... I have a bad feeling about this.
Students wearing academic dresses have gathered here in groups of two and three. They wear smiles on their faces and are laughing happily, filled with the exuberance of youth.
Sora is waiting anxiously with a love confession letter in his hands.
["Ryuushi"]Sorry, I'm late.
["Sora Ichinose"]It's okay, I just got here too.
["Ryuushi"]Sora, why did you ask me to come here?
["Sora Ichinose"]I... I want you to have this.
Sora hands over an exquisite envelope to the girl and anxiously watches her reaction. The girl freezes for a moment before reacting quickly.
["Ryuushi"]Thank you for feeling this way about me, but I can't take this. I already have someone I like.
Background music starts playing leisurely. The screen becomes colorless for a moment as "Ryuushi" walks past the protagonist and disappears into the background.
Two big words, "Game Over", appear mercilessly on the screen as the previous events are saved.
[player]Bad premonitions are always more likely to come true than good ones. Who would have thought that the heroine would gradually alienate us in the subsequent story, that our Affinity with her would keep dropping, and that she would end up with the secondary male character instead.
[player]Even though we maxed out all the values, we still failed to win over "Ryuushi." What went wrong?
[Sora Ichinose]*Coughs* It seems that this is yet another failure sample.
Compared with me who is feeling annoyed, Sora seems to have accepted this bad ending a lot faster. However, the sad gaze in his eyes exposes his true feelings. He isn't as calm as he appears.
I don't think anyone can keep smiling after dozens of consecutive failures. For Sora, this might be the most difficult puzzle he has encountered so far.
I can't bear to see his disappointed expression any longer, so I pat his shoulder to comfort him.
[player]We were so close. If we try again, I'm sure we can clear the game this time.
[Sora Ichinose]Yeah.
After selecting "Start Over" with the joystick, Sora and I are brought back to the alley at the very beginning. With our previous experience, we should have no trouble clearing the game this time.
[Sora Ichinose]Huh? Why did the Affinity decrease even though she said she wasn't angry?
[Sora Ichinose]This is strange... The heroine invited us on a date on Wednesday, but she said she was busy on Wednesday before when she turned us down.
[Sora Ichinose]What? So when the heroine says "I don't mind anything," that means she doesn't want deep-fried food, seafood, barbequed food, or foods that contain flour? Did I miss something?
[player]...
Despite his previous experience, Sora's questions didn't decrease at all. His data has become meaningless in the face of something as complicated as love.
It looks like you still have a lot to learn before you can clear the game, Sora, don't you think?
