Parent gachas, child gachas, and even workplace gachas—there's a gacha for everything.

But if there were a girlfriend gacha, I'd be the guy pulling nothing but heartbreakers every time.

Seriously, it's like I'm cursed. Every time I spin, I end up with NTR—yeah, the soul-crushing kind that tears you apart.

Take Kimura Airi-chan, for example. She was my crush back in elementary school. We got along really well, and I think she knew I liked her.

But confessing when you're just a kid? That's tough stuff. So, I figured I'd tell her when we were in middle school—great plan, right?

Not long after middle school started, I saw Airi-chan at the drugstore. She was with a delinquent senior from our neighborhood, arms linked, buying condoms. Talk about heartbreak. I ended up bawling into my futon, that memory burned into my brain.

Also, why does a delinquent even need condoms?! That idiot!

Okay, maybe that wasn't technically NTR, more like BSS, but let's not get hung up on the details.

Time passed, and I managed to move on from Airi-chan.

But my girlfriend gacha luck didn't get any better. Enter Kurebayashi Mii in my second year of junior high.

She sat next to me in class, and after the Airi-chan incident, I wasn't taking any chances. I gathered my courage and confessed before someone else could swoop in. To my surprise, she said yes, though maybe a bit reluctantly.

But there was a catch!

Mii-chan had a childhood friend who, up until now, didn't seem interested in her. But seeing her with me suddenly lit a fire under him. He realized he wanted her after all.

This guy played it cool, made his move at the perfect time, and before I knew it, Mii-chan was falling for him.

Even while she was still dating me, she let him get close—real close. Yeah, they went all the way.

Cue the tears, the apologies, and the inevitable breakup. My heart and ego were utterly shattered. And just to save face, I secretly stashed a condom in my wallet—so much for my innocence.

Needless to say, I started distrusting women.

High school was no better. Everyone was buzzing with hormones, so I figured, why not try again? Maybe third time's the charm, right? Enter Kojima Aki.

Aki-chan was a bit of a lone wolf, with a gal-like aura. We met one day on the rooftop—both of us looking to escape from our troubles. We became friends, and I soon realized she was amazing. She was kind-hearted, and I fell for her.

Yep, that's when I fell in love all over again.

But, her family situation? Let's just say it was beyond complicated.

In fact, when I first met her, she was already getting down and dirty with her stepbrother. F**k~!

Yeah, seriously.

She knew it was wrong and tried to break free free from that messed-up incestuous situation after realizing just how wrong it was. Eventually, she accepted my feelings and cut ties with her stepbro. But, living under the same roof, she couldn’t shake him off completely. Inevitably, they ended up rekindling their fuckfest, even after she started dating me.

I can’t shake off the memory of Aki-chan choosing her stepbro over me, her tearful goodbye playing on repeat in my head like a sad porno soundtrack. It’s haunting my dreams and making me feel depressed.

But!

Fear not! I am a man who rises from the ashes like a phoenix—can a virgin truly die, after all?

Because now it's university time!

University—the land of dreams, where you taste adult freedom but still have your parents footing the bill.

Naturally, I was full of hope. I even wore a high-class suit to the entrance ceremony.

…And then I saw them.

The three girls who had shattered my heart, all attending the same university, in the same department as me.

“Hey, Yuuta-kun! Long time no see! We're all at the same university now! Remember me?”

Airi-chan said, breaking six years of silence.

“Yuuta-kun… It's been a while since junior high… How've you been?”

Mii-chan added, bringing back memories I'd tried to forget.

“N-no way! Why is Yuuta here?”

Aki-chan stuttered, clearly caught off guard. She was the one responsible for my recent torment, after all.

And there they were, all three of them stood before me—together, like some twisted reunion I never asked for!

WHAT THE F**K?!

The frustration was overwhelming. I felt like I was about to explode with anger and burst into tears.

I mean, seriously, if there's a god in this world, what kind of twisted prank is this?! It's too much of a coincidence!

Am I really that hated by the God? It’s like I’m not just cursed in the girlfriend gachas, but in life’s gachas as well!

And so, that day, I went home and filled out my withdrawal form.
