---
Ryo sat in his room, staring at the new mission reward.
---
[Ding! New Business Opportunity Unlocked – "Start Your Own Clothing Brand."]
---
"...A clothing brand? Seriously?"
He expected the system to make him a martial arts master, a billionaire investor, or a legendary warrior.
But fashion?
How was this reted to getting stronger?
---
[Ding! Because money = power, and power = girls.]
---
"...I can’t even argue with that."
Ryo leaned back, thinking.
If he was really gonna do this, he needed:
? A name.
? A logo.
? A product to sell.
But first—he needed money to start.
---

"...A million yen? You really love pushing me, huh?"
---
[Ding! Do you want to be a background character? Or a protagonist?]
---
"Alright, alright! I’ll do it."
Ryo cracked his knuckles. Time to make money moves.

Later That Day – School Courtyard
Ryo was busy researching business strategies on his phone when he heard an argument nearby.
He looked up.
A guy from the soccer team was bothering a girl.
Ryo’s protagonist senses tingled.
Third heroine encounter detected.
He walked over.
"Yo. She’s not interested. Leave her alone."
The soccer guy, who clearly thought he was hot shit, turned to him.
"And who the hell are you?"

Ryo smirked.
"Just a guy who’s about to kick your ass."
---
Fight Start!
The soccer guy swung first.
Ryo dodged effortlessly.
Then—counterattack.
BAM!
Ryo punched him straight in the stomach, making him double over.
---
[Ding! Strength +1.]
---
Soccer Guy staggered. "W-What the hell…?!"
Ryo cracked his neck. "Is that all you got?"
Soccer Guy, now pissed, charged at him.
Ryo sidestepped, grabbed his shirt, and threw him to the ground.
BOOM.
Soccer Guy y there, groaning.
Fight over.

"That was too easy."
Ryo turned to the girl he just saved.
And that’s when he realized something.
She was gorgeous.
Long, flowing silver hair. Deep blue eyes. A calm, elegant aura.
---
[Ding! Congratutions. You have unlocked your third heroine: Mei Arisaka.]
---
Mei looked at him with curiosity.
"You… fought for me?"
Ryo shrugged. "More like, I just wanted to punch that guy."
Mei smiled slightly. "Still… thank you."
---
[Ding! Mei Arisaka Favorability: +15.]
---
Ryo blinked. Wait. 15 points?
System, did I just speedrun a romance route?
---
[Ding! Looks like it. Damn, you’re good.]
---
Mei studied him for a moment.
"You’re interesting. I’d like to get to know you better."
Then, she walked away, leaving Ryo completely stunned.
Two heroines in two days?!
I really am the protagonist.
---
