"May I ask your name?"
She did not want to talk, but as the defeated side, she decided to respond to him.
"Yan, Su Yan."
"…"
He was stunned for a moment because he had not expected to hear such a name, but he quickly moved on.
"So, Ms. Yan, could you explain why you attacked me so suddenly?"
Despite her earlier attack, Alex is gentle with her because he knows she is a good person and not because she is a pretty girl.
"I want you to break up with Alicia."
*cough 3x
He coughed unexpectedly out of surprise.
Breakup with her sister?
She is his sister, so why did she think they were in that type of relationship?
"I believe you are misunderstanding something."
"I did not misunderstand anything. I had seen everything earlier."
"Like I said, you misunderstand—"
"As her boyfriend, you can tell she is talented. Although you are strong, she has a brighter future than us. Your presence is merely a burden for her development."
"Ms. Yan, could you please listen—"
"If you do not want, I can give myself to you."
"What? Wait!—"
"Break up with her so I can be your girlfriend instead."
Regardless of what he says, she continues to ignore him.
He is helpless, but when he heard her offer, his mind stopped working for a brief moment.
Resuming his brain system, his thought process operates like a flash.
Although she misunderstands his relationship with his sister, this is an offer he could take.
He recalls how many protagonists in the novel decline such offers because they are afraid of being caught or because their morale cannot withstand such an offer, but he is a self-proclaimed honest person.
He wanted to accept the offer, so he will do so.
"You sure about that?"
Finally, she did not interrupt his speech, but hearing his response made her face flush for some reason.
She nodded in response to his question, but kept her gaze elsewhere.
"You are now my girlfriend. Can I refer to you as Yan?"
"Y-yes."
"You can also call me by my— Oh! I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Alex."
"Alex?"
Despite knowing that she is asking for his surname, he decided to play dumb.
After all, revealing his surname will ruin everything.
They had a brief conversation to get to know each other before he decided to leave.
"It is already night, so why not continue our conversation tomorrow?"
"Do you have anything planned tonight?"
"Nothing in particular. Why?"
"Then would you like to go somewhere else?"
…
At this point, he wonders if the world is assisting him in attracting any of the beautiful women he has met.
When she said somewhere else, he did not expect her to take him to the Love Hotel.
Transmigrated to another world…
A cheat tool like a smartphone…
A too cliche plot that has been used many times by different authors but still relevant…
'Did I become a novel protagonist? After all, would not it be strange that these things happened to me?
He wanted to enjoy thinking about this possibility, but hearing the sounds of water coming from the bathroom made him nervous for some reason.
Although he has done this before, it has only been a day since he gave his first time.
He decided to escape the present moment by looking at his smartphone.

This may appear to be an information-dumping chapter, but it is actually.
Increasing the "hearts" will determine the relationship with the people he has listed on the index app from acquaintances, friends, bestfriends, lovers, and spouses.
However, hearts also have rankings.
First, second, third, fourth, and fifth.
Obtaining a heart is necessary because it is the sole currency in the heart shop app.
His previous battle with Yan demonstrates the "abilities" that he acquires from it.
1. You will have seemingly endless stamina and regeneration.
It cost 5 fourth hearts.
2. You can dodge any attack, and the longer you dodge, the better your chances of detecting your opponent's weakness.
It cost 2 fifth heart.
3. Your speed will increase by 15 times.
It cost 5 first hearts.
4. You can copy magic but the output will be 25% of the original power.
It cost 3 second hearts.
5. Your strength will increase by 10 times
It cost 3 third hearts.
This broke his pocket because he does not have anything other than the one first heart that Yan gave him today.
However, gaining hearts through interaction is not the only option.
He can also receive from his random daily reward app, which primarily gives him hearts, similar to how he purchases his current abilities.
'Now that I think about it, I forgot to receive my daily reward today. Well, I will take it tomorrow to surprise myself.'
…
The door opened, and he noticed Yan was wearing her towel.
He could not help but be captivated by what he was seeing right now.
Their distance is close enough for him to smell the soap she used.
Water dripped from her hair onto her face and body.
Her white skin shows how well she takes care of herself.
With her flushed face, he could not help but swallow his saliva at this point.
However, before doing anything he would later regret, he decided to ask her first.
"Are you sure do you want to do this?"
"Yes."
He is a hypocrite and proud of it, so despite his desire to jump her right now, he chose to speak with her.
"Are you my older—Alicia's friend?"
"No."
"Then why are you doing something like this?"
"I... I can't communicate properly. Every time I talk to someone, I push them away without intending to do so. However, some girls are always behind my back, but I learned one day that they are only with me because I can help them get a good grade. It is natural, but I am not sure why I could not find the emotions to allow me to get closer to them anymore."
Her eyes are fixed on the wall, but she is not really looking at it.
