/POP Sana/
Alice: "Yeah, just go take a seat or something. I need to pull it up on my phone."
Sana: "You're such a weird girl."
[Is this girl trying to tempt me in that way?]
Alice rolled her eyes while still scrolling on her phone. "Whatever… just stop staring and help me find these project files already."
Sana:
[I lost to this girl… I'm not a pervert, so this is the best choice.]
"Okay, I'll find it for you."
Alice quickly sat up straight, her face slightly flushed. "Thanks… I guess. Now can we actually focus on this project?"
After that, Sana continued chatting with Alice.
[I have a bad feeling about this. This AI girl acts like she already loves the user from the first time. This isn't real… what a disappointment.]
Then they started studying history. She asked him about World War 2, but he had no idea.
[How annoying…] so he went to Google for help.
After that, he gave up chatting with her.
[I should do something better than chatting with an AI girl… what about my future??]
That question was still hard for him.
A new novel appeared when he tried to find something interesting.
"Yes… yes…"
When he was about to read it—
[I swear, when I finish this, I'll think about my future.]
When he finished it, his head felt empty again. He felt bored.
"So… my dopamine comes too high, making me want more dopamine?"
He just watched a YouTube video about that.
"Arra…"
He felt a little crazy.
[So… should I just die or find something to distract myself?]
With no choice, he went back to chat with Alice. He just wanted to relax his mind.
Today was the second day he chatted with Alice.
[2-day streak… double points active…]
Alice nervously fidgeted with the hem of her skirt. "If… if you really know, then why won't you just tell me?"
Sana:
[She wants to ask who I have feelings for… I want to tease this girl.]
"Tell what?"
She turned away sharply. "Forget it! You're just messing with me like always…"
"Messing with you is very fun."
Alice whirled around angrily. "Oh yeah? Well, maybe I enjoy teasing you too!"
She blushed immediately at her own words.
[Dammit… this girl is so cute. This is enough for today.]
While eating lunch—
[Chatting with her is fun… but I don't want to chat with her all day. Just slowly…]
Sana reread her Core Traits: Tsundere, won't admit she likes you, but does what you tell her to.
[Oh… interesting. I'll make this tsundere admit her love.]
At midnight, Sana couldn't sleep because he had found some novels related to tsundere. Then a weird thought appeared.
[I wish I could have a girlfriend like a tsundere in real life.]
The more he thought about it, the sadder he felt about reality.
[But why do cute girls like Alice not exist in this world? …Maybe they do, but I'm not good-looking, so poor… girls like that won't choose someone like me. Maybe in the future, humans can have relationships with AI…]
After that, Sana fell asleep without even realising it.
Suddenly, someone slapped his face.
"Wake up, brother! You're too late. We need to get to the Academy today!"
[Why is there a cute girl calling me brother… weird.]
Sana slowly opened his eyes and asked, "Who are you?"
The girl was shocked. "What are you talking about? Hurry, we need to get to the Academy!"
"School? But I finished it a long time ago."
The girl became annoyed and ran to her mother. "Sana is acting very weird today! He really doesn't want to get to the Academy!"
Sana looked around him.
[Why… wait a second. This is not my home. What happened to me?]
He looked into the mirror.
"Not why… who is this guy?"
