COTE CROSSOVER REACTS! (Kiyotaka in Yamiyo no Hotaru)

Chapter 2: How It Came To Be

(A/N: After reading a lot of chapters from the original work, there seemed to be some mistakes in translating the names. It's now gonna be Kizuki -> Onitsuki)

"Achievement Obtained: Get all possible endings in all routes." 

The text sits there in the corner of the screen. The screen displays a scene of a beautiful woman, her long pink hair flowing freely and she's dressed in a stunning kimono outfit. She's smiling, radiating joy, and beside her, there's a man, presumably my character, wearing a wedding attire as well. The implication is clear - they're married.

But it doesn't stop there. Another text pops up, and I read it with a sense of triumph.

"Achievement Obtained: Complete all the Achievements." 

"Whoa... Kiyotaka actually did it? That's insane! I mean, seriously, not even a hundred players managed this in six months, and he pulls it off in just three? That's our Kiyotaka for you, I always knew he's extraordinary in games!" Sotomura Hideo enthusiastically commented.

The students who have played the game and was familiar to it's nature gave similar reactions.

"No way! Are you serious? That's crazy!"

"Man, I've been playing that game forever, and I can't even unlock half of the endings, let alone the achievements!"

"I didn't even know there were that many endings! How did he manage to get all of that!?"

Horikita Suzune on the other hand, raised her eyebrow. "Is that supposed to be impressive?" 

"You have no idea, Horikita-san. Some of those endings and achievements are like finding a needle in a haystack while blindfolded. Some of them are tedious or downright unforgiving to unlock." Hideo explained, his glasses shining like a manga character.

Shiro's eyes widened as she recognized the person in the illustration. "Isn't that...?" Her voice trailed off, surprised by the unexpected scene playing out before them.

"...itoko-sama? (dear cousin)" Ako Murasaki continued.

Onitsuki Aoi, the subject of the video, seemed just as baffled as the rest of the cast, her calm demeanor not faltering as she questioned their stares. "What's with the looks? I am also unaware of what's going on." Her confusion mirrored their own, for she was just as unaware of this narrative twist.

Meanwhile, Onitsuki Hina, Aoi's elder sister, released a quiet sigh of relief. "Thank goodness," she murmured to herself. "The man doesn't match the appearance of Kiyotaka."

"It's over. Finally, it's over. Sigh..."

I leaned back into the soft cushions of the sofa I'd been sitting on for what felt like an eternity. My muscles, which had been tense with fatigue moments ago, now relaxed as a sense of accomplishment washed over me. The digital clock on the wall displayed "5:36 am"

"It's already morning, huh?"

Yukimura Keisei, his brow furrowed slightly, sighed. "He could've used that time to improve his grades though."

Hasebe Haruka, sitting near Keisei, glanced at him with a smug grin. "Didn't Kiyopon surpassed you in math, though?" Her tone carried a playful tease, enjoying the chance to make him flustered.

Keisei's lips curved into a slight frown at Haruka's comment. With a dismissive "hmph," he shot back, "It's not fine if he could only excel at one subject."

With a tired sigh, I reached for the console and powered it off. The hum of the screen faded into silence, and I stretched, feeling the satisfying crack of my joints. As I sat on the bed, I couldn't help but think that now that I'd finished the game, Hideo would finally stop bugging me about it.
