Your Girlfriend Was Amazing

You Crazy Bastard, Calling It a Pure Love Diary

"So, you suddenly wanted to mess with Kim Minsoo?"

"Yes… yes… that is right…"

"Why the formal tone? Just talk like a regular senior."

"Huh? Uh… sure, Taeyang…"

The incident quickly concluded.

The use of awakening powers among the awakened individuals is only allowed in approved situations, so our little scuffle was nothing more than a fistfight. Baek Taeyang, a combat genius even before awakening, couldn't lose even if he tried.

"Just a few broken fingers, and it's supposed to hurt that much?"

"Taeyang, you might've hit them a bit too hard…"

"Thanks! There's a lot I wanted to talk to Yoomin about anyway… I'll go ahead!"

Minsoo sprinted to the school gate like his shoes were on fire. The seniors exchanged glances, pondering if they should let him go, but that was a non-starter.

"Answer the question I asked earlier clearly."

"Yeah, as I said, for some reason today… We felt the urge to extort Minsoo…"

"Hmm…"

Was someone pulling the strings for the sake of a cliché? In a school where only the elite 1% make the cut, why bother with that…

Victory Academy provides monthly allowances and various cultural benefits, so starving isn't on the menu. Even if they indulge, as long as they have the bare minimum for meals, the cafeteria's there to fill their bellies.

Even students get a dose of character education until they reach adulthood. Only in rare cases, like Baek Taeyang's rushed enrollment, do they get special treatment. The rest get a thorough crash course in handling power and social norms.

"Um… Taeyang… We're about to be late for class…"

"Quiet, I'm thinking."

"Sorry…"

According to these goons, there was an oddly strong desire to squeeze money out of Minsoo. Out of nowhere, without any prior thought, they dragged Minsoo into an alley and messed with him.

Is the author meddling in the novel…?

It's a reasonable deduction. Crafting clichés is a must, and the backdrop of having undergone extensive character education poses a bit of a hiccup.

But Kim Minsoo needs some character development…

There's nothing like a good old story of power abuse to reinforce the idea of being the epitome of kindness and justice. It's plain and simple – beat up the bad guys and save the good ones!

That probably explains the monsters making a debut in the department store yesterday. That fat author, wearing an expression of astonishment while staring at me, seems to be scheming to eliminate me and push Minsoo forward.

"No way, that can't be the case, right?"

"Huh…? What do you mean…"

"Just nod and agree with me."

"Right! Taeyang is always right!"

"When Taeyang speaks, it's always correct!"

With the backing of this bunch, there's plenty of objectivity to go around.

Maybe this will make things easier.

Just by seizing cliché events, I can swipe a good chunk of the protagonist's ground. It's a measly 0.1% for now, but what if I snatch it every time a major event unfolds? There's a chance I can sidestep convoluted processes through Yoomin.

"Looks like various possibilities are popping up, huh?"

"Uh, yeah, you got a point, Taeyang…! But can we go now…?"

"If we're late, we'll get a lot of demerits, so…!"

"It's not like my knees are going numb or anything…"

Did I get lost in my reverie for too long? When I snapped back to reality, it was school o'clock. Nodding and shaking off the mental cobwebs, all five of them rose in unison. Whether their legs were numb or they were doing the awkward shuffle, they strolled towards the school gate, looking like a sorry sight.

"This should be easy." My strides were light as I walked toward the gate.

++++++++

"Student Baek Taeyang, can I have a moment of your time?"

The one greeting me at the school gate wasn't Soojin.

"Yes?"

"I need to investigate the incident at the department store."

A woman in pristine office attire, sporting brown hair, approached. If there's a letdown, it's her choice of pants instead of a skirt – a minor quibble, really.

Ryu Hyemi…? I've never seen this instructor before.

Her name tag proudly declared [Research Instructor], and her objective was crystal clear.

"Don't sweat the class; I'll handle the attendance," she said with a convincing tone, though it sounded more like an order. Well, considering the research samples were all corpses, I could understand the urgency.

With a lack of clues, it's safe to say it's far from adequate. The research is deemed necessary, yet the avenues to approach it are limited. Since discerning it through videos is futile, the only method is to investigate the person who fought directly in that environment.

"Where are we headed?"

"Just follow me."

She exudes a highly intellectual image. To anyone's eyes, she doesn't resemble an ordinary researcher. The academy, where only 1% gather, has a distinct vibe from the instructors. She gives off the impression of being an expert, demanding trust.

"Is Senior Soojin also in the middle of an investigation?"

"Yes, Yoo Soojin is currently being questioned by Instructor Kim Sukgu."

"I see…"

So that explains why I didn't spot her at the gate.

Instructor Ryu signaled for me to follow and took the lead. As soon as we crossed the gate, we distanced ourselves from the students, and it appeared that the investigation building was separate.

Might as well check her information in the meantime.

[Charming Gaze activated! As a penalty, your gaze becomes sticky. Be careful not to cause any severe misunderstandings!]

I wanted to probe her information when our eyes first met, but I restrained myself. No need to deliberately tarnish my image by sparking misunderstandings based on eye contact alone.

———————————

[Name] Ryu Hyemi

[Physique] Height: 171cm / Weight: 60kg

[Description] Childhood friend, practically a close big sister and neighbor of Kim Minsoo. They grew up in the same neighborhood during their early years, but they went separate ways when Ryu Hyemi awakened first.

Demonstrating exceptional abilities in research and investigation from a young age, she practically skipped the student process, not receiving education alongside Kim Minsoo.

She still remembers the promise made when they were young that Kim Minsoo has forgotten. Initially not keen on embellishments, she now manages it diligently.

The main skill cannot be determined until you take her virginity.

———————————

What?

My mind went blank. Initially, everything seemed fine. However, upon closer inspection, several details raised suspicion.

A close childhood sister and neighbor setting? A promise from their youth?

It was filled with unintelligible stories, leading me to question the necessity of such a setup.

"Student Taeyang, what's the matter?"

Witnessing the shocking information window, my body instinctively froze. I questioned the accuracy of what I was seeing. While I had praised the skill's performance until yesterday, today it seemed unbelievable. If this were genuinely true, it would be a significant issue.

"Oh… it's nothing. Can I go in now?"

"Yes, I'll bring the materials; please wait a moment." Instructor Ryu said that and briefly stepped away.

Opening the door in front of me, anticipating an interrogation-like atmosphere, I found the room surprisingly cozy.

It had a resemblance to my room, with the beam projector and a large screen catching my eye first.

Is she going to question while showing videos?

In the center was an antique wooden table, with two iron chairs placed around it. Various other items were present, all seemingly intended to suppress a heavy atmosphere. However, at this moment, such an atmosphere wasn't important.

"Have you been waiting long? I apologize." Instructor Ryu entered.

The initial impression, which I thought was intellectual, now looked different. Starting with subtly applied makeup, a hairstyle with C-curl perms, and a seemingly confident lipstick. It appeared to be a carefully crafted appearance, indicating she was dressed to impress.

Considering this, even the clothing…

It was likely due to being in the workplace and maintaining a certain image that she couldn't wear a skirt. Still, she had an outfit that exuded a fresh spring scent, with beige pants, a shirt that slightly revealed the collarbone, a cardigan, and a distinct female fragrance. She couldn't break her poised image, but the scent conveyed the essence of a woman wanting to emphasize her femininity.

"Something wrong with my clothes?"

"It's not that, I'm just a bit nervous."

"Student Taeyang, you haven't put a foot wrong, so no need be nervous."

Actually, you've done a stellar job, and the Academy will likely reward you, so you can look forward to it.

As she said that, she activated the beam projector and commenced displaying a few photos. "This photo captures the goblin's first appearance. Can you see the gate appearing briefly and then disappearing?"

Her words failed to register properly. The thoughts triggered by the information window continued to muddy my mind.

"Student Taeyang, you might not be well-versed in gates yet, but you probably have a rough idea."

If my hunch is accurate, the quest's duration makes sense. It wasn't solely about Yoomin and Kim Minsoo's relationship; hence, the generous one-year timeline.

"This phenomenon is ridiculous, right? Were there any peculiar signs before the initial goblin appeared? Like the ground shaking or anything…"

"Instructor Ryu." I couldn't hold back my curiosity any longer.

If I didn't ask now, I wouldn't be able to concentrate on the entire conversation. I silently pleaded as I asked, "What are your thoughts on Student Kim Minsoo?"

It was an out-of-place question, and it could've created an awkward atmosphere. She might suddenly scowl and vent her frustration.

Yes, please get mad… scold me for not paying attention, tell me we're dealing with a serious matter, and that chit-chat can wait. Please… please…

However, Instructor Ryu's face gradually reddened as she gestured with her hands. The worst-case scenario, an unimaginably significant issue, was unfolding in front of me.

"No, I mean, uh, wha, what, he's just a student. To me, they're all… all the same students."

Fuck…

There was a reason the main quest emphasized Kim Minsoo's pure love. If the aim was merely to separate Yoomin and Minsoo, a one-year timeframe wouldn't have been necessary.

There has to be a reason for all this.

But the quest highlighted Minsoo's pure love, and the deadline was generously set for a year.

No, I thought it was too long.

I was overly confident. I misunderstood the true intent of the quest. The real purpose of the main quest wasn't to ruin an existing relationship; it was to obliterate all of Kim Minsoo's love.

It's confirmed now… Why are my uneasy premonitions so accurate at times?

The Academy's Pure Love Diary…? No, it's a harem pure love.
