[Requests Accepted] [プラリネ] あなたの事を好きと言わせて [VJ013841]

■Story Would you like to play the role of a boyfriend? The protagonist, Kousuke Wakamiya, was born as the son of a prestigious family and raised without any hardships by his overly indulgent parents. He enjoyed an ordinary student life without doing anything in particular... However, he is now in a lot of trouble. He suddenly received a shocking message from his grandfather! It was, in fact... "What do you mean you don't even have a girlfriend? What a disgrace! When I was Kousuke's age, I was quite the ladies' man!" "Kousuke must live a poor life and train himself until he acquires the qualities to attract women!" Such outrageous demands. Naturally, Kousuke strongly protests. But his grandfather, the absolute authority of the Wakamiya family, ignores his protests and kicks him out of the mansion. Kousuke, expelled from the mansion, finds himself at a loss. He can't stay dazed forever, so he manages to reach a single-family home that will be his new residence, where he finds the bare minimum of furniture set up, and a maid informs him, "Your personal belongings will arrive later." It became clear that his grandfather was serious... Determined to acquire those "qualities" his grandfather mentioned, he heads to school. Upon arriving at school, Kousuke quickly explains his situation to his friends and seeks their cooperation, but they struggle to come up with concrete ideas. The only advice offered is that if he were to get a girlfriend, he would naturally develop those qualities. However, Kousuke has never had a girlfriend, let alone any experience dating girls, so it seems impossible. But then… a girl who had been listening to their conversation steps forward and offers, "If that's the case, I can play the role of your girlfriend." This girl is none other than Yuki Fujikura, who just transferred last month and has become the school's idol! "Even if it's a lie, you want to have a girlfriend, right? Then how about we play the role of a couple?" --- **Characters** **Playing the Role of a Girlfriend** - Yuki Fujikura (CV: Ichigo Momoi) She transferred to the school the protagonist attends. From her first day, her beauty became a hot topic, and now, a month later, she is treated as the school's idol. She is beautiful, kind-hearted, and excels academically, earning her the nickname "Takané no Fuji" among the boys. However, she is not arrogant or haughty; rather, she has a very friendly personality. Contrary to her elegant appearance, she is carefree and unpredictable. She has no hesitation in doing entertaining things. When Kousuke expressed his desire to have a girlfriend, even if just for show, she surprised everyone by saying, "Then let's play the role of a couple." She often leads the conversation with an older sister-like demeanor, making Kousuke flustered. Having taken various lessons since childhood, she is skilled in activities like violin, tea ceremony, and flower arrangement. Her hobby is taking walks, and she enjoys watching the sky turn red at dusk. While she loves fun activities, she dislikes being overly noisy and sometimes wishes to be alone. "Make sure you don't let go of my hand, okay? If we're a couple, being shy about this much is unacceptable." --- **Playing the Role of a Girlfriend** - Nanako Kiba (CV: Aya Saotome) She has been a friend since their first year. Kousuke and Nanako live close to each other and commute to school together almost every day. She has a plain but gentle and kind personality, secretly popular among boys. Her academic performance and athletic ability are average, making her an ordinary girl. Her family runs a flower shop in the shopping district, and she helps out whenever she has free time. Her specialties include cooking and knitting, and she makes her own bento. Her hobby is visiting botanical gardens, where she takes notes on beautiful flowers to order for her family's shop. Kousuke and Nanako became close friends when they both joined the greening committee in their first year, and now she is the closest person to him at school. "Kousuke-kun, that's not good. You're wasting your precious youth on something unproductive." --- **Playing the Role of a Master and Disciple** - Isuzu Tachibana (CV: Saya Hirayama) A third-year student and captain of the kendo club. Though she is thought to be strong because her family runs a dojo, she is actually not that strong. She has been working hard since she was born, but it seems she lacks the natural talent, and her skills are only on par with or slightly below those of other club members despite her practice. However, she has strong leadership abilities as a captain and shows her dedication, earning the trust of her club members. Still, she has a strong desire to become stronger and begs the protagonist to be her "master." She has a younger sister who is strong enough to win national tournaments, and she views her as a rival as a swordsman. She practices kendo not just because her family runs a dojo but because she genuinely loves the sport. She is afraid of dogs to the point of trembling even before puppies, yet for some reason, dogs seem to like her. She doesn't think highly of Kousuke, who is playing a soft role as a boyfriend. "You are my master. Come at me without holding back!" --- **Playing the Role of Siblings** - Shione Mizuki (CV: Miru) A junior in the literature club to Izumi. She is timid, quiet, and not very talkative, so she doesn't stand out much when she is around. She lost her mother at a young age and was raised in a father-son household. Her father is apparently getting remarried soon, which itself is not a problem, but she is anxious about whether she can get along with her new family due to her extreme shyness. She is particularly worried about having a brother, as she is not good with the opposite sex. She fears that she might ruin her father's remarriage if she can't get along with her brother. Her hobby is writing long novels. "Um, I’m really sorry... am I bothering you?" --- **Playing the Role of Newlyweds** - Kiyoka Akikawa (CV: Miyami Arisugawa) Kousuke's homeroom teacher. Her subject is modern Japanese. Though she is approaching her thirties, she looks like she is in her early twenties and is quite beautiful. She serves as the advisor for the discipline committee and is known as a strict teacher regarding school rules. Among the rules, she is particularly strict about relationships between boys and girls, possibly due to personal grievances, and enforces them rigorously. At school, she maintains a disciplined demeanor, but when she drinks alcohol, she transforms into a sweet, dependent person. Her family has been pressuring her to get married, and while she is open to the idea, she gets nervous around men she finds attractive and tends to make mistakes. She has never even held hands with a man, and with the approaching deadline of her thirties, she is anxious and troubled about what to do. Having grown up in a very strict household, her knowledge about relationships is still at a textbook level. She quickly changes the channel when there is a kissing scene in dramas. Her hobbies include baths and hot springs. When she gets into a large bath, she feels the urge to swim, reminiscent of her days as a swimming club ace. "Discipline yourself to avoid foolish behavior. Do you understand?" --- - Shizuka Onose (CV: Haruka Tōmi) A maid serving the Wakamiya family. She is calm and speaks little, but her abilities as a maid are high, and she efficiently handles cooking, cleaning, and laundry. Though usually taciturn, when she does speak, she can be quite sharp-tongued. As a servant, she shows no hesitation in speaking to Kousuke, her master. She has high physical abilities and appears intelligent due to her dignified demeanor, but she struggles academically. Her level of difficulty is beyond common sense, and Kousuke genuinely worries about her future because of her poor grades. She can barely do basic addition and subtraction, which allows her to manage shopping. While she is usually calm and collected, she gets flustered when her demeanor is pointed out. "Please come to the dining hall before breakfast gets cold. If you're not going to eat, I will have to take it into my own stomach." --- - Izumi Takano (CV: Miya Serizawa) Kousuke's classmate and Nanako's best friend. She is serious, excels in both academics and sports, and is the class representative who adheres strictly to rules. She is beautiful, but her sharp tongue and tough personality have earned her the nickname "Lone Hawk," and she is avoided for different reasons than Yuki. She can perfectly handle any task alone, but because of this, she often looks down on those who can't keep up, leading to conflicts. She is aware of this tendency and tries to reflect on it, but her innate disposition makes it hard to change. Her friendship with Kousuke is primarily through Nanako, so they are not particularly close. In fact, they often have arguments regarding Kousuke's flippant attitude. She serves as the president of the literature club. An avid reader, she is addicted to books and cannot feel satisfied unless she reads at least one book a day. "I can't understand what you're saying at all. Please explain logically and concisely." --- - Tomisaburo Wakamiya (CV: Taro Naru) Kousuke's grandfather and the current head of the Wakamiya family. He usually resides in a local mansion known as the main house, but he has come to check how robustly his grandson, Kousuke, is growing as the next head of the family. Compared to Kousuke's overly lenient parents, he has a much more stubborn and strict personality. Thus, he firmly declares that Kousuke, who has been raised too softly, is not suitable to become the head of the Wakamiya family in his current state and forces him to live a poor life for his physical and mental improvement. He is strict with boys but sweet to girls, and if he finds someone to his liking, he quickly becomes affectionate. "You haven't trained enough! Add a thousand dry rubs to your routine!!" --- **Protagonist** - Kousuke Wakamiya A second-year student at Kajinohara Private Academy. As the legitimate son of the local prestigious Wakamiya family, he is friendly and easygoing, earning the affectionate nickname "Waka" from his classmates. He doesn't particularly like being called "Waka" and asks them to stop, but they rarely listen. He is generally kind to others and expresses his opinions clearly. He doesn't have any specific hobbies or skills. "Ah... another peaceful day has passed."
