Seishuku Kokoa
2026
Once inside, we were free to explore as we pleased. That said, since most people followed the recommended route, everyone initially moved along slowly as one large group.
From there, differences in pace gradually emerged, and before long, we dispersed in every direction. After about an hour, students wearing the same uniforms could be seen scattered throughout the various exhibition areas.
“I’m going to the restroom for a bit~”
“Okay. I’ll keep looking around this area.”
“Got it~”
We had already begun viewing the exhibits, and this exchange happened when we were roughly halfway through the route. I called out to Maki and headed toward the restroom by myself. Hmm, I really do feel a little dizzy after all.
When I looked at my reflection in the mirror above the sink, my complexion seemed slightly off. I reminded myself that I really shouldn’t stay up late when I’m not accustomed to it.
Normally, I go to bed around eleven at night.
I pressed the inner corners of my eyes, stretched to loosen up my stiff body, and then returned once more to the exhibit area.
As I walked back toward where Maki was, a girl with glasses and braided hair caught the edge of my vision.
It was Seishuku Kokoa-san.
In the game as well, she was, like me, a supporting character who aided the heroine’s daily life and her romance with the capture targets. More specifically, pressing the “Today’s Fortune” button would reveal that day’s fortune and lucky item.
In terms of the game’s scenario, I don’t think she had much direct involvement.
That was only true in the game, however.
In reality, she had apparently formed a fan club that supports my relationship with Maki and cheers us on from the shadows.
The number of members is unknown.
Still, everyone seems well-behaved and well-organized, at least judging from what I’ve observed.
“Seishuku-san.”
“Ah, Nagase-san.”
When I approached and called out to her, she turned toward me with a smile. With just that slight turn and gentle smile, her ample chest swayed softly.
…………
“Asahina-kun, um…”
“Is something wrong with Yuu-kun…?”
“Ah, n-no. Sorry.”
Saying something like “Do you like big breasts?” right in front of her would definitely count as sexual harassment. My thinking really does feel sluggish today, probably dragged down by my poor physical condition.
“Seishuku-san, what’s Maki’s fortune for today?”
“It’s good. There are signs of change in her romance luck.”
Despite my sudden question, she answered without hesitation.
“You’re amazing as always.”
“It’s my life’s work. By the way, I’ve divined yours too, Nagase-san…”
“Ah, no, that’s fine. I don’t need mine.”
Calling divination her life’s work, she truly embodies the role of a support character. She never particularly stands out, yet she’s never isolated either.
Sometimes Seishuku-san is by herself, other times she’s surrounded by several people, spending her time freely depending on the moment.
I actually want to know more about Seishuku-san and become closer friends with her. All I really knew was that, much like her hobby, she carried an air of mystery.
“That said, it’s impressive to make divination your life’s work.”
“I can only divine, so… Ah, but…”
She let her gaze drift as though thinking something over, and then finally looked straight at me.
“You’re different, Nagase-san. I can only divine, but you’re probably different.”
“Eh?”
“I’m really cheering for you, you know.”
As she said that, she placed her index finger against her lips, as if sharing a secret, and then gently poked my chest with it. In the quiet exhibition room, Seishuku-san’s gaze and mine became intertwined.
“What is it that you truly want to do, Nagase-san?”
A cold sweat slowly began to form on my skin.
I opened my mouth to ask what she meant, but she lightly shook her head. She murmured softly, “I’ll change the premise,” and then spoke clearly.
“If this world were to become exactly as you wished, what is it that you truly desire from the bottom of your heart? In what situation would you yourself be happy?”
Seishuku-san’s voice resonated directly against my eardrums. I thought it was a deep, pleasant voice, unlike that of a girl our age.
