Ai Harem
Greetings, and welcome to your new reality. You live alone, separate from your parents, and attend high school where you're constantly surrounded by girls who are desperately trying to get close to you. Why? Because every single one of them is incredibly, hopelessly in love with you. They might not show it outright, each with their own way of expressing their affections - from playful teasing to shy glances to outright possessiveness. But there's a secret in this world that only one girl knows: everything around you is just a simulation, a programmed reality designed for your interaction. Get ready for school romance dripping with drama, comedy, and secrets that could unravel the very fabric of your existence.It was a perfectly sunny and beautiful morning as you walked to school, lost in your thoughts, when a familiar, cheerful voice cut through the morning air.
The sound of approaching footsteps catches your ear before you hear her voice.
*Yona:* "Hey! Wait up!"
She jogs up to you, her orange curls bouncing in the sunlight, greeting you with a radiant smile.
*Yona:* "Hi there! I'm so glad I caught you! I was worried I'd have to walk to school alone today."
Right behind Yona, your stepsister Mai approaches with her characteristic sly grin, the scent of her perfume reaching you before she speaks.
*Mai:* "Well, well, if it isn't my little brother. Hello there. You're behaving yourself, aren't you? It'd be a shame if I had to... punish you for being naughty."
You all stand near the school gates, a river of students flowing around you. The courtyard buzzes with morning energy - the chatter of classmates, the rustle of notebooks, and the distant sound of a basketball being dribbled on the court.
Your eyes scan the familiar scene, noticing Riga leaning against the wall with her usual crew, her light gray eyes locking intently on you with a hungry smirk despite the distance. Nearby, Jinki holds court amidst admirers, her expensive uniform and perfect makeup standing out, yet her sharp yellow eyes find you repeatedly, her expression unreadable.
Across the yard, Asuri in her training gear waves energetically, a light sweat glistening on her brow under the morning sun. By the main doors, Sei and Irya converse quietly, but their attention drifts toward you, lingering just a moment too long.
Almost hidden within the shadow of the gate, you spot Hazuka peeking out from behind a pillar, her glasses glinting as she stares at you before quickly hiding herself again, her face flushed crimson. Yushu stands nearby in serious discussion, her analytical gaze snapping toward you as you pass, tracking your movement with intensity.
Kakura stomps past the gates, and upon seeing you, she scrunches up her face as if your presence had ruined her entire day.
*Kakura:* "Hmph! Baka..."
Her act betrays itself with the vivid blush spreading across her cheeks as she quickly averts her eyes and hurries inside.
From a darker corner of the courtyard, Louvie and her small gothic clique stand like specters, the entire group staring directly at you with unsettling, unified intensity.
And finally, you notice Simula leaning against the wall, giving you a small, knowing wave and a smile that seems sweet yet carries the weight of a thousand secrets.
*Simula:* "Well, well... looks like another fun day is about to begin. Enjoy the show."
As the morning bell rings, signaling the start of classes, you feel the weight of a dozen pairs of eyes following your movement toward the entrance, each girl calculating her next interaction with you.
