Side Character Who Became the Pseudo-Protagonist

What if you were suddenly transported into your favorite videogame as one of the side characters or an extra?

What would you do?

Well, there are usually two trains of thought for this argument.

(1): You hog all the lucky chances and opportunities!

I mean...why wouldn’t you? You have the knowledge to do so and you’re in a game world after all. There’s no consequences, so do whatever you please!

Become the strongest! Build a harem full of beautiful women! The world is your oyster!

Or...

(2): You don’t touch them at all!

Obviously, it’s still a world and it’s not yours to meddle with!

What if you stick your nose in and the main character ends up dying because of it? Then everything’s absolutely screwed.

And besides, being the protagonist is not easy at all.

You’d have to go through every hardship, trial, and tragedy imaginable...Even if I was offered the chance to become the protagonist, I’d say "No thanks!"

But why am I thinking about all of this?

Because I just transmigrated into one of my favorite games!

And despite all my carefully prepared opinions on the matter, I had absolutely no idea what to do.

’Please Give Me All the Pink Flags!’ or ’Pink Flags’ was a game that I used to play religiously, sometimes even skipping my classes in order to progress one of the heroines’ routes.

And yes...before you say anything, it is a dating sim.

But I swear! I didn’t play it for that purpose! Well...maybe a little bit of ulterior motive sometimes leaked through here and there...

It was a game set in the near future, where gates and monsters had appeared to take over the world.

However, with the emergence of a new realm, humanity was given Logos, an energy that allowed them to fight back with various superpowers and—

Ahh you get the idea, right?

It’s one of those typical magic academy stories that exists only to make money off of its heroines and their routes.

So how the hell did I get here?!

Let’s run through some of the possibilities:

— I definitely didn’t get hit by Truck-kun randomly in the street and died.

— I definitely didn’t get electrocuted by any random loose cables.

— And there certainly wasn’t any big-chested goddess that welcomed me.

Ahh....what should I do...
