ALL NOVEL chapter 16
16. Asagi Sora’s Talent 3
“…Huh?”
Natural-born yandere maker.
“What do you mean?”
Of course, it’s a word I’ve never heard before.
“By ‘words’, I mean this is a term I coined. You know, there are women out there who ruin every man they date, like some kind of defective man-making machine. I think that’s a talent in its own way. “
I don’t have many female friends, so I’ve never seen one in the flesh, but I’ve heard stories.
“Similar to that, but with a much more potent talent, is the natural-born yandere maker. Sora-kun, you have an innate ability to make yanderes even more yandere.”
“What are you talking about…”
In my 19 years of life, this is the first time I’ve ever heard of my own special ability. It’s not like it’s some lame or funny power, it’s just a mysterious talent.
“Listen, Sora-kun. If being a yandere is a human quality, a talent, then making someone’s yandere tendencies worse or amplifying them is also a talent. Just by interacting with them, you have this amazing talent that naturally turns women with the potential into yanderes. You’re a special guy.”
“Excuse me, but I don’t really understand what you’re saying… I’ve hardly ever been popular with girls.”
“That’s because there are very few people in the world with the potential to be yandere. No matter how much you water or fertilize soil that doesn’t have any seeds, it won’t do any good. That’s why you never realized your talent until now. But when you came to this hero base, a place where many seeds of yandere are planted, your talent finally blossomed.”
Can that really be true? I can’t tell if the doctor is being serious or making fun of me.
“You don’t believe me? Well, that’s understandable. Even when I heard Akane was interested in you, I only thought it was possible. But after meeting you in person and hearing your report just now, I’m convinced. Yandere makers exist! There are people in this world with the talent to make yanderes act and speak in ways they desire, making their love even more furious. I’m so happy. You’re starting to awaken the power of their inner love. This is a great thing, Sora-kun. You should be proud. I’m glad I invited you to join Philance Blue.”
The doctor seems to be serious, judging by how excited he’s getting. But even though he’s praising me so much, I’m not conscious of doing any of those things. Listening to the doctor’s words, he sounds like a skilled host who knows how to whisper sweet nothings to make women happy, but all I’m doing is acting normally and being myself.
“You can just stay the way you are. There’s no doubt that your personality and natural qualities will make your relationships with them worse and worse.”
“But that’s bad!”
“I’m sorry, but as long as they’re trying to force their abnormal love on you, can’t you say that increasing their favorability is making the situation worse? Besides, the more they fall for you, the more out of control they’ll become.”
“So, the reason Momo and the others have been acting strange is because of me?”
That’s not a talent, it’s a curse.
“Well, yes. They were all a bit strange to begin with, but in just a few days since you arrived, their behavior patterns have changed dramatically, and at the same time, their abilities as heroes have all skyrocketed.”
“Hm? Doctor, that doesn’t make sense. I have nothing to do with it.”
I was about to get swept away by his persuasive speech and outlandish theories. But I have my own arguments.
“…Because I wasn’t here on the first and second days after I arrived. I only talked to Akane-san and Uguisu-san briefly on the first day, besides today. Even if I do have this yandere maker talent, it’s common sense and impossible for women to become abnormally attached to me after only a few words.”
I only went out for parfaits with Himawari, and I didn’t have any special conversations with Momo other than watching her hero activities. I didn’t do anything special to make them fall in love with me. Maybe the doctor is just overthinking this yandere maker thing.
“I’m sorry that you seem to be happy to argue with me… but listen, Sora-kun, yanderes don’t think common sense. Thinking that something is common sense impossible is very dangerous.”
He sighed and began to explain again.
“They have incredibly strong and extreme positive and negative emotions in their hearts. Even when they can’t see you, they can conveniently alter and distort your existence in their minds, making their love for you grow. The reason I let you stay away from the base for five days was so that they could do just that. During that time, the image of Asagi Sora in their minds would expand and turn you into someone important to them.”
“So, it’s like a delusion?”
“In a nutshell, yes. The heroes take their casual conversations with you and incorporate them into their own world, and as a result, they all end falling up for you.”
Four beautiful girls are in love with me. It sounds wonderful. For someone who has never been popular with women, it’s a feeling that makes me want to jump for joy. But even if it’s true, I don’t feel like I’m Going to have a happy harem life.
“Did you appoint me to Philance Blue because you were expecting my talent to promote yandere tendencies?”
“That’s right. When I first heard Akane’s story, I thought it was possible, so I was waiting for an opportunity. Your talent is real, and I’m glad I’ve found such a treasure. With this, our heroes will become even stronger. Thanks to their love for you.”
“Their love for me…”
I’m the same age as them, and the only love I’ve ever received is the ordinary, precious love from my parents to their only son. I can’t imagine someone else, especially a girl, having such strong feelings for me .
“You can’t feel it? …That’s right, I have just the thing in my invention.”
“Invention?”
“Yes, I’m a genius, you see. I can easily make dreams that modern people can only imagine come true.”
With that, the doctor turned on his laptop and projector. The white projector screen displayed the desktop.
“This is an invention that predicts one possible future.”
“Predicts the future!?”
What the heck, is this really a sci-fi world?
“Can it really do that!?”
“But unfortunately, it’s not as omnipotent as you might think. It only shows a glimpse of the future if a certain choice is made. That’s all it can do. It uses AI calculations to predict the future, so I have to input information about the characters and so on beforehand.”
Not all the futures you want to see can be seen, but that’s still quite impressive.
“From now on, I will analyze what kind of life awaits you if you make a certain choice and project it on the screen.”
“A certain choice?”
“Choose one of them and it’s the future where you’re bound together.”
“Wha!?”
II-In other words. I can find out what kind of couple I’ll be if I become lovers or get married to all the heroes? Seriously? Or rather, is it okay to watch such a thing? What if I accidentally cut out the middle of the couple’s activities? Wouldn’t that be a violation of love compliance?
“You’re a boy too, aren’t you? Your face is red. Does that mean you’re interested enough?”
Oops, it was too obvious on my face. Most men would go crazy with excitement if they could see a lovely-dovey scene with themselves and a cute girl. I’m not bad.
“We-well. It’s a great invention.”
“Kukukuku, you’re honest. Well, then…”
If there really was a future where we would become a couple, I should apologize for seeing it first on this day, or the fact that it was reflected in the future prediction means that I have a future where I can get married. I, who had been listening to the doctor’s story seriously until just now, had such sweet thoughts without any defense.
Why did I forget? The future lovers I’m going to see from now on are all yandere heroes with such heavy love that they can save the world.
