Leo, who had just awakened on the large bed, immediately sat up straight at the first moment.
And after he reached out to confirm that the Kamen Rider V3 helmet placed on the nightstand beside his bed remained completely intact... the tightly furrowed brows relaxed somewhat, and he lay back down on the large white pillow behind him on the hospital bed, while a faint mocking arc appeared at the corner of his mouth...
As a soul from another similar yet different blue planet, Leo had never imagined that he, an inconspicuous otaku in the real world, would ever have the chance to transmigrate.
The cause of the matter was quite simple.
It was merely that this 24-year-old otaku web novelist who was still a university student, on the eve of Crazy Thursday, was heading out to get cuisine when he was flattened into a meat patty by an alien spacecraft that fell from the sky and looked like a dump truck.
As compensation for a super-spatial traffic accident, the annoying alien who got off the dump truck spacecraft gave the other party, whose body had become a meat patty and whose soul had become marshmallow-shaped, a choice—either to be sent directly to a certain blue-haired wisdom goddess with whom they had a decent relationship to prepare for transmigration to another world, or to find them a body as a container and send them to the Type-Moon world.
For such a good thing, Leo naturally chose the latter without hesitation.
Even if the body model was slightly inferior, the premise itself of being able to go to the Type-Moon world was enough to make all the Fate dog players in the world who yearned to contact those beautiful girls from the moon world feel restless.
Yet unexpectedly, the body container that the annoying alien found for him actually had problems.
At the very first moment after he awakened, he left the empty Japanese-style single-family house and rushed to the bathroom to check the appearance of his new body... and he knew he had been scammed.
Not because the modeling of this new body was too ugly.
On the contrary, it was devastatingly handsome.
The mirror reflection that first met his eyes was a beautiful black-haired boy of around 16 or 17 years old.
He had a head of black short hair as rich as the night, with soft and fluffy strands.
His skin was nearly sickly pale, as if from eternal polar ice and snow untouched by sunlight.
His features were as exquisite as God's most perfect masterpiece, with every inch crafted with divine skill, combining together to form a beauty that transcended gender boundaries—eerie and breathtaking.
Especially those eyes, with pupils black as the purest obsidian, so deep they seemed capable of drawing one's soul into them.
And below the right corner of those eyes, a small tear mole, like cinnabar droplets fallen on snow, added an indescribable allure and tragic beauty to this supremely handsome face...
Both appearance and figure possessed considerable aesthetic appeal.
The premise being... if this appearance hadn't been so familiar that he recognized it at first glance.
This was undoubtedly a gender-bent version of the terrifying woman from horror master Itou Junji's works—possessing demonic charm, capable of driving all men to madness and mutual slaughter, ultimately dismembered, yet able to regenerate infinitely.
Through continuous testing over the following days, he unsurprisingly discovered that he seemed to possess the exact same special ability as the famous horror manga protagonist 'Tomie Kawakami'—a fatal attraction to the opposite sex.
No matter what kind of woman, as long as she saw his face, she would instantly develop a frenzied desire for exclusive possession and affection, desperately yearning to mate with him and claim him exclusively...
The specific external characteristic was manifested by pink heart-shaped effects appearing in the eyes of the enchanted target, visible only to Leo.
If rejected multiple times, this unfulfilled impulse would cause the other party's original affection to instantly reverse into hatred, wishing to dismember him on the spot.
Although this ability seemed quite good—as long as he accepted all women and pushed them all down... the problem was that this bizarre charm produced through sinister means was extremely difficult for him to control.
Once he actually agreed to be with a woman seduced by his demonic appearance, all other seduced women would develop intense negative emotions and jealousy toward that woman, attempting to eliminate her on a physical level and take her place, repeating this cycle endlessly...
In short, every woman who saw his face would lose normal human thought patterns, all transforming into extreme yandere simps obsessed with him.
Precisely because of this, when he personally witnessed how a high-beauty random schoolgirl he had planned to try dating was dismembered by other frenzied pursuers who lost their rationality right before his eyes, then knelt before him with terrifying blood-stained hands, desperately begging for his "love"...
Frightened by this horrifying scene, he hastily packed up everything he could carry that very night and decisively abandoned the original residence where the annoying alien had sent him to this world.
He then fled to the neighboring Fuyuki City, intending to start a new life under an assumed name.
'Now that I think about it... those days of life were truly like a nightmare...'
'In order to prevent my face from causing more victims, and also to prevent attracting more attention, I not only need to hide my true appearance behind a mask and hood in front of others all day to suppress this ability's activation.'
'But also have to survive alone in this foreign land with no one to rely on, constantly being on guard against possible pursuers while desperately thinking about how I should continue to live...'
'As a result, just three days after moving, on that night, while I was alone dragging my suitcase down an empty street, and because of the stuffiness from the "Kamen Rider V3 helmet" I had casually ordered at Comic Market, I couldn't help but take it off to get some air...'
'That's when I met that girl in a school uniform on that quiet slope—'
Click—
Thinking of this, the door to the room was pushed open.
The girl who entered had an appearance that, even by the most critical standards, was that of a genuinely beautiful young woman.
Her features possessed a three-dimensional beauty mixing Eastern and a hint of Western styles, with her uniquely exquisite facial characteristics displayed vividly.
Twin tails tied with a black ribbon, falling to her shoulders, were pure black hair without any impurities, with slender limbs and pale skin untouched by sunlight, and a pair of bright lake-green eyes.
Her impressive long legs in black stockings beneath a black miniskirt, paired with a beige school uniform under a red jacket, perfectly accentuated her excellent figure for a 16-year-old girl.
With a black ribbon in her hair, wearing the Homurahara Academy uniform, dignified in bearing, she was a beauty in the literal sense.
No matter how one looked at it, this girl who maintained an elegant and dignified demeanor during normal times was truly a beautiful young woman who made Leo's heart flutter, both before and after his transmigration.
...The premise being before the other party noticed his demonic appearance.
"Leo~!"
Slap—!
Just like her character setting suddenly broke down and collapsed...
In complete contrast to the elegant and dignified demeanor she had shown before, the moment she saw him awake, her face flushed red, her eyes filled with pink heart-shaped effects as she threw herself into his arms. This girl's behavior made Leo, who had inadvertently enchanted her with his face that night three days ago, feel extremely troubled...
The girl's name was Rin Tohsaka.
One of the female protagonists in the Type-Moon visual novel "Fate/stay night," and also born as the heir to a local wealthy family in Fuyuki City.
Although in terms of raw combat ability, this girl's magical prowess was already quite standard first-rate strength.
But ever since Leo's face—a demonic appearance difficult even for a first-rate magus to resist—was seen by her... he was immediately entangled by this girl with extraordinary power.
And on a physical level, she forcibly confined him within this large mansion, preventing him from leaving.
If forced to make a comparison, this feeling was somewhat like Odysseus being detained by the witch Circe, who had fallen for him at first sight.
Certainly, for Leo, who was currently worried about where to go in the future and how to evade the obsessive female stalkers who might have followed him from the previous city to this one, this magical workshop and residence inhabited by Fuyuki City's wealthy family was indeed an excellent temporary refuge to avoid all external unfavorable factors...
Not only was his personal safety sufficiently protected, but even his food, clothing, shelter, and transportation were solved by this girl who, while poor among the wealthy elite, was not poor enough to be counted among the truly impoverished.
It practically looked like he was being kept by this wealthy young lady.
However, this method of obtaining this temporary shelter by distorting another's mind made Leo's heart constantly feel uneasy.
He had no idea how long this demonic appearance, comparable to that horror manga protagonist's charm, would continue to enchant women.
And whether anything strange would happen after living together with such an enchanted woman for too long...
If one day the enchantment suddenly wore off and she regained her normal rationality... he estimated he would very likely be humanely destroyed on the spot by this female magus schoolgirl who knew she had been enchanted...
Therefore, for the sake of personal safety—escaping this place and regaining freedom became undoubtedly the thing Leo most desired now!
