That bastard is the worst. Wait, sorry, I called him a bastard because Sano chose the worst option. Satsuki asked him to listen to her troubles, and he rejected her? You like Satsuki, don’t you?
June 11th
He found Reine being bothered by some guys and called out to them! As expected of the protagonist! Finally, he’s aware— What the hell is that bastard doing!? He got glared at and said “Ah, never mind then”!?
July 5th
Shuna’s blouse burst open because of her chest size. A gentleman knows what to do, right? …Yeah, I knew it. You’re just a bastard who stares. And he even tried to undress her.
Shuna got scared and ran away. Of course she did. Show some decency and lend her your own shirt!
September 4th
Sano-kun found Shino writing ‘I want an equal friend’ in her notebook. So he challenged her to a contest. “If I win, let’s be friends!” he declared proudly. Is he finally becoming a good protagonist?
September 8th
…So, do you have an excuse? You didn’t study at all, did you!? You’re all talk and no action, you bastard! Why are you at the arcade!? Me? I already finished studying the test material.
October 1st
I can’t expect anything from Sano. If anything, I want to become friends with the heroines too. I thought I shouldn’t influence the scenario, but I can’t stand it anymore! I want to become friends with the heroines too! Stories where the mob makes the trash protagonist get what he deserves have increased anyway. I’ll do it myself.
October 7th
I was able to talk with the heroines! It actually felt pretty good! I know all their tastes and preferences, so of course. I hardly ever talked to girls in my previous life, but I did my best. Friends first.
October 8th
When I talked to Satsuki, she said “Who are you?” Too sad…
She probably didn’t want to associate with me deep down…
I’m depressed…
October 9th
The other three didn’t even remember I existed…
Too sad… We had such a fun chat, but was that all a lie…?
October 12th
My test scores are way too bad… That’s strange. I thought I got a perfect score… This happens every time…
October 18th
I see…! I finally understand why my grades won’t improve. I had the girl in the seat next to me show me her test. But with the exact same answers, mine were marked wrong while hers had circles. This world is 【LoD】. It would be bad for the scenario if I got first place. It’s the same as how Nobita can only ever get 0 points. I saw on SNS that even correct answers sometimes get marked wrong. I figured it out, but it pisses me off. The reason I can’t get anything but mediocre results in sports and academics, even though I shouldn’t lose to anyone, is because of this. I’ll call this the 『World’s Corrective Force』.
October 25th
The heroines forgetting about me is also because of the 『World’s Corrective Force』. It has to be. Absolutely. But I feel like I’m forgetting something important…
October 28th
Ahhhhh! Wait!? I’m starting to remember!? If this world is the 【LoD】 world, then at this rate, all the heroines will be wiped out. No one’s affection levels have risen, so it’ll be the total bad end… Uh oh, what should I do? I don’t want the heroines to die… But I feel like I’m overlooking something even more important…
October 31st
Today too, what’s reflected in the mirror is me. I held a faint hope that I might have reincarnated as Sano Yuto, but from any angle, I’m 【Iriya Satoshi】. Ah, I’m the mob who definitely gets caught up and dies in the bad end, 【M, Traffic Accident】, aren’t I…?
November 1st
Why did I forget…? To survive, just clearing individual routes won’t work. To have everyone survive, there’s only the harem ending, but at this rate, Sano won’t be able to max out these girls’ affection.
November 6th
It was nullified by the 『World’s Corrective Force』… Well, of course. The one who solves the heroines’ problems is 【Sano Yuto】, not 【Iriya Satoshi】. In other words, it has to be Sano, not me.
November 10th
Satsuki brought a consultation to Sano again. Apparently her gravure work isn’t going well. I know. If she doesn’t get a high ranking in the next popularity poll, she’ll enter the pillow business route. She’ll be raped by various men and eventually break mentally and commit suicide.
November 15th
Like hell I’ll let that happen. If that bastard won’t move, I’ll move. I just need to buy the popularity poll cards and handshake event application tickets included in Saionji Satsuki’s photo books, right?
Uh, I think in the original, to make Satsuki rank in, it was about a hundred books… Originally, Sano was supposed to work a part-time job and use the money he earned to make Satsuki rank in, but that bastard is jerking off to the sexy illustrations in light novels. Well, there’s no point expecting anything from him. More importantly, I’m hesitating to press the order button.
After all, tens of thousands of yen for photo books… I-I’m hesitating, Iriya! B-but I’ve been saving money for this moment…! Amazon, click.

November 20th
Satsuki’s photo books arrived at my house. A hundred of them… Anyway, I applied with all of them using Sano Yuto’s name, and wrote his home address on just the application tickets.
December 24th
Satsuki ranked in! Sano apparently went to the handshake event. Without knowing anything, he just went along with it…
December 25th
Originally, she’s top-tier material. If she gets ranked in something, her recognition will increase and she’ll steadily climb the ladder as a gravure idol. Plus, Satsuki is grateful for Sano’s “thoughtfulness.” With this, her love for Sano won’t disappear. Phew~ With this, I’ve avoided Satsuki’s bad end for now. But what should I do about disposing of these…
January 10th
I learned from Satsuki’s case that it’s possible to follow along with the scenario. This time, I’ll save Reine. In the story, Sano is supposed to notice the bruise on Reine’s face and go to her house. On the way, he picks up a wallet, which turns out to be Reine’s mother’s. Reine’s mother is trash. That day, she lost her wallet and is in a bad mood. If Sano doesn’t go, Reine will be beaten to death… but as usual, he doesn’t go. He wants to play games at home. Drop dead!
January 14th
The day came, but I can’t find the wallet…
Come to think of it, the original didn’t say where it was…
I was planning to give Reine’s mother’s wallet to Sano and have him deliver it, but this won’t work…
For now, I’ll execute Plan B that I made to keep Reine from dying.
Whether the 『World’s Corrective Force』 will work is up to luck.
January 15th
It went well.
I only vaguely remember what Reine’s mother’s wallet looked like.
But I purchased a wallet that seemed like it beforehand and made it expensive, put a reasonable amount inside, and brought it.
Reine’s mother looked young for her age. But inside, she’s a bastard. I put on my outside smile and handed over the fake wallet to Reine’s mother, introducing myself as 【Sano Yuto】.
I conveyed that I wanted to meet Reine tomorrow, then left the apartment where Reine lived.
January 20th
Thank goodness.
My attempt was a great success.
Reine became friends with Sano.
Sano doesn’t understand what’s happening, but for a girl-lover like you, having Reine talk to you favorably must be a windfall, right?
It pisses me off, but it’s for my survival. I’m counting on you, okay?
January 21st
Just in case, I found a wallet that seemed right.
It’s a knockoff…
January 22nd
Saving Shino. This is actually the hardest. That’s because Shino is looking for someone who can stand shoulder to shoulder with her. At this rate, she’ll be forced to marry some old man she doesn’t even like. And he’s a sadistic pervert bastard. As usual, Sano-kun challenged her to a contest, but the next day he was at the bookstore reading a light novel with a sexy cover. You said you’d beat her in the mock exam, didn’t you?
February 1st
Test day. I thought of a way to win in the test. For that, I decided to use the 『World’s Corrective Force』.
February 28th
It seems to have worked. As I planned, Sano surpassed Shino in the mock exam. It’s nothing special. Just a simple substitution test-taking. Though Sano and I took the test on the same day. Normally, substitution is impossible. But this world follows the scenario that bastard wrote. I wrote 【Sano Yuto】 on my answer sheet and submitted it. Normally, fraud would be suspected, but I trusted the 『World’s Corrective Force』. As a result, my answer sheet was apparently returned to Sano.
Top in the nation. Nearly perfect score, causing a commotion at school.
With this, Shino will acknowledge Sano too.
My true ability is above Shino’s.
So it’s not that difficult to beat Shino by substitution.
That said, I’m relieved. With this, Shino should be conscious of Sano.
