The System Won't Work Unless I Have Girlfriends

[Unpacking…]

As I was waiting, the floating screen turned.

[Congratulations!]

[SSR Package: Cristiano Ronaldo has been obtained!]

"WHAT? HOLY SHITTTTT! IT'S THE GOAT!"

This is so peak for my first gacha. Just imagine it—I'm going to have the talent and experience of him in seconds. Alright. No further complaints.

"Alright. I'm ready."

I open my arms, a big smile on my face. This might hurt quite a bit, so I am preparing myself for what's coming.

[Pffft.]

Did she just laugh?

[Would you like to learn more about the system? Once you decide, things given cannot be taken back.]

Hm? Damn it. She's right. I shouldn't rush into anything.

"Show me."

[The system will help you get a girlfriend and enjoy the benefits that come after your hard work and individual effort.]

Okay, I remember this part.

[Once a relationship is formed, you can draw a single gacha with the tier according to your partner's rating.]

Right, go on.

[The gacha you expect might give you someone's entire experience, knowledge, and talent. Or even a future vision. However, you won't receive anything that physically exists in your current world, like money or company shares that could cause repercussions in your world. Instead, you might receive something like a blueprint for technology that doesn't yet exist. Please note, it is not within our jurisdiction to manipulate the world directly for your convenience.]

To put it simply, the system won't hand me food directly, but will give me the means to get it. And I shouldn't expecting my body to transform into something like Cristiano's overnight.

[However, please be mindful. Before you decide to absorb anything, you must check your partner's likability. The percentage of likability determines how much of the package information can be extracted.]

So, that's why the system laugh at me. In Chinatsu's case, with a likability of 71%, at the moment, I can only extract about 71% of the package.

[If the relationship ends before extraction, a limiter will be applied. The maximum extraction will be restricted to the final percentage of likability at the time the relationship ended. If your ex-partner's likability increases beyond that point, it won't matter, because she's no longer yours.]

[Tip: to break the limiter, you must restore your former relationship.]

[Likability can drop even after a breakup. Tip: extract before it drops significantly, or repair the relationship with the partner involved. Please remember, you can't change the likability of a death person.]

Well that's annoying.

So, if I break up, let's say with a likability of 50%, then it'll be set as the limit.

Even in the future, if her likability later rises to 60%, it's useless if she's no longer my girlfriend.

Worse, the likability can drop if I insist on keeping the package without extraction. The only solution is to extract it quickly before losing everything or start from zero and rebuild the relationship.

Honestly, the second option is better because I can get a chance for 100% extraction. However, it surely take times.

So, the key isn't just likability—it's the girlfriend.

To get the gacha, I need to make 'her' my girlfriend first. Even if that someone has 100% likability, it's useless if she ain't my girlfriend.

Even the [Likability], [Current Status], and [Spoiler] will be available after the relationship is formed.

After that, I need to maintain the relationship until she's completely happy. If I meet the expectations of my future girlfriend, achieving 100% likability is guaranteed.

It's basically like the stock market in a way.

With these rules, relationships are inevitable. I need to make a girl my girlfriend first to "enter the stock market" and buy the stock which in this context; gacha. If the value drops, I either sell it or hold if there's hope for a bright future.

[The number of partners you can have at the same time is limitless.]

[Tip: be careful with women's feelings.]

So, I can two-time, huh? Well, polygamy is legal in most parts of this world. But that doesn't mean women are brain-dead without pride.

I hum, "What about the girl who already have one?"

[Besides specific gender, there's no restriction. If you can manage it, yes, you can.]

I hum as I look at the floating screen. So, I can even date grandma as long as it wasn't a femboy. Well, of course, Ms. System doesn't have to tell me that.

Girls' ratings range from the lowest D, C, B, A, S.

Gacha tiers: Common, Normal, Rare, SR, and SSR.

Sigh. What the hell is this system.

Alright so, what I've learned is that, girlfriend is the key.

To oversimplify it.

The system won't work unless I have a girlfriend.

[Name: Hayase Chinatsu]

[Age: 13]

[Rating: S]

[Likability: 71%]

[Current Status: Stupid brother, Zzzzzz]

[Spoiler: Masamune-kun's Revenge S1, S2, & OVA]

[Unused x1 SSR Package: Cristiano Ronaldo]

The system has a small update at the bottom. I guess the gacha will be placed down there for every woman I'm in a relationship with.

Anyway, I got an [SSR Package: Cristiano Ronaldo] in my pocket, however, I can only extract 71% of it for now. It has to be 100% for sure.

It's a little complicated, though. I tested the system on my sister, Chinatsu. Well, as long as it's just normal sibling bonding time, I have no problem with that. Maybe I should clear my schedule for at least three days to spend time with her. I smile—this is going to be fun. Either way, as long as she's smiling, I guess I'll look forward to tomorrow's hangout.
