"Ah, yo... I guess we're going to share a table huh?" It's not like I mind, it's my fault for suddenly wandering into a weird cafe.
The... thing, quickly nods. "Indeed, pretty boy! Hopefully your days have now become brighter!" Well, I'm not the type to reject a waifu.
Even if she's a chibi thing with cat ears, one that looks strangely similar to that woman Tohno is dating.
I smile. "Yeah, they definitely have!" They haven't at all! "So what's your name cutie?" I will fuck a chibi without hesitation!
The cat eared woman smiles. "I'm Neko-Arc! The strongest being on the multiverse, only slightly behind Nasu!" I highly doubt that! Also who's Nasu!?
I nod. "I see, well I can feel your strength from over here. Being around you is making me feel safer already."
Her eyes widen. "Y-you are feeling safer nyah!?" She said nyah!? "A-amazing, never before someone felt comfortable in my presence!"
She continues. "Normally they just run away screaming in absolute terror!" Well, you are a weird chibi thing.
I pat her head, the decision comes by instinct, a left over of my days with Rika. "Don't worry, these people are wrong about you."
I nod to myself. "I see a gentle caring soul inside of your body! Become my girlfriend Neko-Arc!"
I really need one! Why does that Tohno bastard get every single women in town!? He is even dating his sister for fucks sake!?
I will never forgive him for stealing the school's idol, Ciel-Senpai... I feel like one of those vengeful classmates from harem animes.
Neko-Arc has heart eyes, this is no exaggeration, her pupils actually became little red hearts.
She almost leaps out of her chair. "Y-yes! Nyah! I will definitely become your girlfriend!" Ah, I'm not alone anymore!
I haven't had a romantic encounter since Rika! Actually I had many, but that Tohno bastard always slides in and steals them first.
One day I shall have my revenge! But sadly that day isn't today. Besides, he seemingly handles everything thrown at him like he is the protagonist of this world.
And he genuinely might be, he is the one with a harem after all, and I have abandoned my own delusions long ago.
Neko-Arc has a cute little blush, it's actually more terrifying than cute, but it feels mean to think of my girlfriend like that.
She seems genuinely happy. "Oh! This is the first time someone confessed to me! Besides that time Neko-Shiki cut me into a hundred and seventy pieces."
A hundred and seventy!? How are you alive!? How is that a confession!? And why is the little bastard also called Shiki!?
I smile. "I see, that's surprising considering you are such a charming lady." Also you are technically a cat girl.
She laughs. "It's good to see that some men still have good taste! I was beginning to think this world had no hope!"
She continues. "Red haired men who love swords, brown haired men who love computers, black haired men who love eggplants, all trash!"
I nod. "I agree with all of that, but please add glasses wearing men who like their sister a little too much!"
Neko-Arc nods back. "Indeed! But here comes the ultimate test of love sexy boy..." I upgraded to sexy boy!?
I raise a hand, like I'm asking a teacher for permission. "Excuse me? I know I'm not an adult yet, but could you call me sexy man instead?"
She shakes her head. "Not yet, don't worry however, because if you pass my test I shall grant you that title."
She extendes her hand. "Prove your love! Marry me! Put a ring on my finger, nyah!" How though!? You just kinda have little chibi paws!?
My eyebrow twitches. "Isn't this a little bit too soon? Why would I be carrying a ring with me!?"
She frowns. "Love doesn't care about things like too soon! Now are you going to marry me or not, sexy boy!?"
I see... Well, I am prepared for this strange situation. I still carry the ring Rika gave me all of those years ago, the one she so lovingly gave me a few days before her untimely death.
It's only natural I would use it to expand my harem, I'm sure Rika would definitely love that and not hate it. And yes, it's expand the harem, because Rika lives on in my heart, so she's still part of it.
"Yuta!? Getting on with another woman!? No, I want him to remember me for at least ten years!"
I can almost hear her voice... Actually I really feel like I can hear that her voice, I have been feeling like that ever since I got here.
I give Neko-Arc Rika's ring. "You're right! Let's get married Neko-Arc!" I'm truly glad my harem dreams still have a chance to flourish!
Heart pupils have returned to her eyes. "Oh~! Sexy man! I must admit, for a moment I thought you wouldn't have a ring and this would end up with a gag about me killing you!" scary!
She continues. "But you have truly won my heart! I am yours forever... Even beyond death, even beyond after your soul becomes processed by the root." Scary, I don't know what that means, but it's scary!
Love flourished that day, Yuta Okkotsu finally got a girlfriend, and upgraded her into wife immediately.
And now we find ourselves in this cafe a few months after such a legendary day, one that not many knew about.
The strange blonde chibi cat creature sighs. "Sexy Man is late to our date... How unusual, maybe he got caught by the cops because he finally went through his plans to kill Glasses Boy?"
Another strange cat creature, this one with black hair sighs as well. "No, he just died in a car accident."
Neko-Arc can only scream in shock. "What do you mean he died in a car accident, Nyah!? He can't have died offscreen!"
Neko-Chaos shakes his head. "And yet he did, Yuta Okkotsu was never a protagonist after all... No, he was one perhaps, but he was an angsty SI."
He continues. "His only purpose in life was to show the readers that maybe living in their favorite series would suck."
Neko-Arc hits the table. "That's not fair! That's not fair at all Nyah! I won't accept this, I'm destroying this multiverse!"
She continues. "And then I will rebuild one that revolves around him! Call me Satella from now on, 'cause I'm about to go yandere crazy nyah!"
Neko-Chaos is sweating. "I-I don't think that's wise! Just bring him back to life instead!" But it was far too late, Neko-Arc had already made up her mind.
It didn't take too long for the multiverse to be consumed, first only this world, but then soon all the others as well.
In a new beautiful land Yuta Okkotsu opened his eyes, his soul blessed and his every step watched.
He was the protagonist of this new tale.
AN: I'm sorry.
