Tokyo, Sakuragaoka Academy, Second Year, Class C.
It was currently break time in the classroom. There was only one more class before school ended, so everyone was in high spirits, and the classroom was very noisy.
"Hey, Natsuhi, look at this."
The one speaking was her best friend, Wada Saki, a genuine, popular 'gal'.
"What is it?"

"Oh my god, this is clearly a scam group. I advise you not to go."
[Can't she see something so obvious? As expected, the intelligence-reducing halo is at work... It might also be due to her lack of work experience.]
The one speaking in a somewhat rustic manner was our protagonist, Ito Natsuhi. She was currently sifting through her memories.
[I remember the protagonist and her best friend were scammed around this time. So the recruitment information they saw back then must have been this one.]
[Has the plot point arrived so quickly? It's just after class, no time to think at all.]
[Why were you in such a hurry to call me over?]
She said the last sentence to the system. That's right, she had just transmigrated.
She transmigrated into her, and was summoned by the system on her body.
Originally a professional Boxer, Yuanzhu Long'er (Chinese), he had now transmigrated into the fallen heroine of a H-game — Ito Natsuhi.
According to the system's description, this was originally just an ordinary urban face-slapping novel, but one day it was invaded by an unhealthy website.
A large number of 'yellow-haired' characters and plots unsuitable for the big screen covered the novel's original world.
So, in this world now, all sorts of scenarios that would only happen in H-doujinshi are unfolding everywhere; it's practically a hodgepodge of H-game works.
This system is called: [Pure Love Guardian System]
As long as the girls and married women who would originally go astray and meet tragic ends are diverted from their original plots, change their miserable fates, and live happy and fulfilling lives, the system will recover its integrity and issue rewards.
Only by changing the destinies of all the female characters, including herself, can the system be fully restored and revert to a normal urban novel.
Then our protagonist can return to her original world.
As for why it's called a guardian, Natsuhi had also asked the system about this.
Because any 'yellow-haired' characters or plot villains she eliminates will disappear along with their environment, body, and social information.
Mr. Hat will not even notice, hence the name guardian.
In other words, as long as she takes action, she doesn't have to worry about the consequences; the system will handle everything.
Of course, this only works for plot-related people; don't even think about using it for illegal activities.
This significantly dampened Natsuhi's enthusiasm, but she was still very satisfied with being able to act freely.
And the environment she was currently in was a doujinshi she had read before.
Although it was a work from before she started Boxing, the plot of this doujinshi was too classic, and the art style was very much to her taste, leaving her with a deep memory of it even now.
The content was roughly about Wada Saki, a 'gal' and social butterfly in the class, who was very extravagant with money.
One day, while scrolling on her phone, she saw a high-paying part-time job advertisement and invited her best friend, Ito Natsuhi, to go for an interview with her.
The outcome, as one might expect, was that it was a scam group specifically targeting naive beautiful girls like them.
I don't need to elaborate on the subsequent plot; those who know, know. It's nothing more than some 'creative' acts, eventually leading to blackmail with videos and a downward spiral into darkness.
The name Natsuhi was given because the female lead was too quiet, and her family wanted to give her a positive name to make her more cheerful, filled with the author's malicious humor throughout the story.
A classic brainless H-game plot, it felt like none of the characters had normal intelligence.
Back to the present, Natsuhi was sitting in her seat, and Wada Saki was squatting beside her, excitedly holding her phone screen up to Natsuhi's eyes.
Because they were so close, Natsuhi could smell her faint perfume and feel her eager enthusiasm.
Too close!!!
Such intimate proximity made Natsuhi, whose soul was male, feel a bit flustered, and she instinctively leaned her body back.
[Indeed, this is the style of this world. The characters are all so... expressive.]
Perhaps due to ratings, all the female leads and supporting female characters in this world were uniformly beautiful girls.
The supporting character Wada Saki had golden hair, a beautiful face, red eyes, and an earring, which often got her criticized by the school leadership.
She always wore fashionable outfits, paired with white stockings and playful small leather shoes, exuding a cheerful, confident, youthful aura.
It was said that many boys in the class secretly paid attention to her.
The female lead, however, gave a completely different impression. Her long black hair was braided into two pigtails in front of her, she wore large-framed glasses, and her eyes were dull.
She gave off a quiet, introverted vibe, seemingly lifeless and lacking presence in the class.
But little did she know, this was all part of the author's scheme; a little dressing up could reveal astonishing potential. Moreover, her figure was actually very good, just hidden by her dull attire.
"Hehe, the interviewer was very satisfied with my photos and resume and told me to go directly for the interview after school."
"Natsuhi, you should apply too. This is such a good part-time job; if you miss it, it's gone. Spots are limited."
Wada Saki kept scrolling on her phone, a happy smile on her face, but Natsuhi disdainfully moved her chair aside and looked at her as if she were an idiot.
[How could he not be satisfied? With someone so perfectly matching his target delivering themselves to him, I'd be satisfied too.]
Though that's what she thought, she still had to try and dissuade her. After all, she couldn't just let her be, even without the system.
"This is clearly a scam, you know. If you go, there might be several people there, and they can do whatever they want."
Saying this, Natsuhi leaned her face close to Wada Saki, making a very eerie expression, and her hands kept making grabbing motions in the air, looking as if she was about to conspire against Saki.
Wada Saki jumped in fright, stood up with a thump, panting, and gently patted her chest, clearly quite scared.
"Natsuhi, you weren't like this before. Are you sick? Or in a bad mood?"
Although she was startled, she still hurried forward to touch Natsuhi's head, showing how much Saki cared for Natsuhi.
Natsuhi then remembered that, at first, Natsuhi's silent nature meant she had few friends in class.
And Wada Saki was the first person to say she wanted to be friends with her, and because of that, Natsuhi integrated into the class.
Thinking about it carefully, aside from the part where she got herself into trouble, this best friend was pretty good to her at other times.
Saki's warm, fair little hand was still on her forehead. Natsuhi was just about to close her eyes and enjoy it when the other party took it away, much to her displeasure!
"No need to look, I'm fine. Seriously, don't go."
"You don't need to persuade me. If you don't want to go, just go home first. I'm going to try it anyway."
[Sigh, such a good girl, why does her intelligence go out the window when it comes to this? What a shame.]
Finally, she shook her head helplessly, her two pigtails playfully swaying from side to side.
Natsuhi had to succumb to the powerful driving force of the plot. She really tried to stop her, but couldn't.
She couldn't possibly tie her to the desk; that would be illegal imprisonment, and it would only strengthen Saki's resolve to go. She couldn't tie her up forever, could she?
[System, is there any way to prevent her from going today? Like a temporary notice or something?]
[There is no direct interference with reality function. Host, you still have to find a way within the plot framework.]
...
The day's classes finally ended. It was dismissal time, a carnival for students, but a pain Natsuhi didn't want to face.
"I never thought that one day I would become a girl, and a minor supporting character on a dark path at that."
Standing at the school gate, Natsuhi touched the pigtails on her side. Her hair was quite soft and felt nice to the touch.
Looking at the golden-haired girl walking away in front, Natsuhi sighed impatiently. Every time she thought of what she had to do next, it felt even more troublesome.
"What should I do next?"
She quickly followed, organizing her plan in her mind.
