Aelith
Is the main character of the game, a parody version of Yugi Muto and some parts of Yuma (yeah, for sure) with another soul that is both her previous life and her partner
The difference is that Yami Aelith knows who she is as well as her own identity, so she is also Aelith's teacher
I already know the identity of Yami Aelith clearly, as a player who already knows the plot in advance, her identity is not something too secret
Nitocris, the queen of Egypt
For some weird reason, in this world, Egypt still keeps its original name and history
And Nitocris has a monster card bearing the name of an extremely powerful god, purely Dark type. It is also the thing that caused the demon king's army a lot of trouble back then just with its inherent power alone
Unfortunately she died young, at a very young age, making that god card ownerless and sealed because no one could control it
And information about her is even more than about Aelith herself, the main character of the game, enough to understand why I have to confirm what kind of person Aelith is
Unclear past, unclear personality, unclear motivation and even unclear deck type
I even thought about the possibility that she is a reincarnator or something, of course that is just a possibility
And if there are reincarnators here then I hope they don't act recklessly or get jealous just because of petty reasons, it is not worth it
"Alright, have to do it like this"
"Got it, like this?"
"Yeah yeah, make the eyes colder, that's right, cool enough"
"Oh!"
...Aelith is easier than I thought
Yes, I am teaching her how to pose coolly, I don't know why I am participating but thanks to that I learned a few things from her
If you are not deceived by her quiet and slightly cold exterior, she is easy to talk to and quite chill
Not sure why she is obsessed with posing like that, but thinking about it it is a bit like Pokemon, where every character poses when preparing to throw a poke ball and radiates a strangely cool aura
Ah, the pose she is making is a bit like Red, does she plan to go up a snowy mountain to wait for someone to challenge her? The main character of the next part?
...probably not, right? Because if there is a sequel there will be more events and my advantage of knowing the plot will become useless because I have not played part 2, I do not even know the existence of those parts
Ugh, another reason to get stronger, just in case
I then looked at Aelith standing there posing, looking at her current outfit
She wears the academy shirt inside while outside she wears a black and yellow jacket, her silver hair is carefully groomed
Sorry, I do not like describing appearance in detail, so I only say what I think (if I describe every detail like calling her chest like this, her thighs like that then I will first reflect on why I pay attention to those things instead of what role she plays in the plot)
"By the way why are you here... Posing like that?" I asked the question everyone is curious about
"..."
"...why are you silent?"
"I have a feeling someone will come here to trigger a relationship increasing event, and you came"
...huh?
And the way you talk is a bit strange, right? Who uses words like "event" and "increase relationship" when talking to other people?
"Although I do not know why you have such a good impression of me, but I do not think it is a bad thing when... I can make friends with you"
Definitely she just got reminded by Yami Aelith
Damn, why do I keep feeling like I am a character in an otome game and she is the heroine who is going to romance me?
Ah right, this is a game with dating elements
But why me first?
Looking at the girl in front of me who seems to be choosing the best words to talk to me, I looked around for a while then spoke first
"So... Want to go for lunch?"
"Hmm? Ah yeah"
So I and she went to the cafeteria

Igor Snowy
A somewhat mysterious young man, looking at his appearance one has the feeling he comes from Ursara
And Ursara is famous for having endless winter all year round, drinking Vodka like drinking filtered water, an army that is both brutal and disciplined, wrestling with brown bears, black bears and polar bears and often doing unpredictable things like their king riding a bear to bathe naked in the Arctic... Yeah, does not sound strange if coming from Ursara
The countries right next to Ursara are Finnavik (Finland), Sverdal (Norway), Isvangard (Iceland) and Greldhelm (Greenland). The common point of these countries is that they are all very cold and winter never ends (I put these countries close together for the plot, trust me guys)
To be honest, from the first time she met him, she was a bit overwhelmed by how close he was with her
[Igor Snowy
Relationship: 30/100 (friendly)
Difficulty: Are you sure?
Info: A mysterious boy of unknown origin, although he is easy to talk to he will never open his heart to you
Rewards: (reach 50 affection points) warm winter outfit, (reach 80 affection points) a copy of Igor's deck, (reach 100 affection points) locked
Evaluation: You should see if you are worthy of him before flirting with him]
This is exactly the bloodline ability of her family, her mother, grandmother, great-grandmother in the past also used this method to have a harem of both men and women
Her other soul also knows about this
Yeah, sounds a bit wild but her mother before that used to be surrounded by many girls and even... Yuri, only to later meet her father and turn into a woman who clings to her husband and is aggressive toward other women
...Back to the main topic, actually at first she should not have been there and coincidentally was found by Igor
She just wanted to look at the quest board that the academy posted at the adventurers' guild building
Yeah, there is an adventurers' guild here, this is where students who are qualified enough receive an adventurer certificate to do quests to earn credits
However because this job involves the lives of students, those who become adventurers are forced to wear a teleportation bracelet, once their life is in danger they will automatically teleport back to the academy
Of course it is very expensive, and students are forced to buy it to do quests, so there are quite few new students who go to become adventurers
She intends to become an adventurer, unfortunately she just enrolled so she has no level yet
So while she was discouraged realizing she is still far from becoming an adventurer, suddenly her other soul spoke up
'Hey, I can sense Igor Snowy is nearby, you should stand somewhere and act in the most coincidental meeting way possible'
"Why?"
'He will be the best ally you can have, find every way to make him close to you'
Aelith really did not want to, to be honest she does not like this bloodline power because she does not want to be like her mother in the past
Having a few friends is enough, too many and complicated relationships are a headache (dense protagonist confirm)
"I do not want to..."
'This is for the future benefit of both of us, right now hell is still stable but soon it will be forced to open the gates, at that time the previous enemies of both me and humanity will return and take over the bodies of the living'
Yes, this is the reason Nitocris awakened, because hell has a problem, so as the one chosen to rule hell she has to deal with this matter immediately
'From the moment I awakened and learned about the current situation, the 6 treasures of Egypt have all disappeared, someone must have gotten involved'
"Didn't you already locate 2 treasures?"
'Locating and obtaining are two completely different things, think dummy, didn't your parents teach you to use your brain?'
"Why are you so angry at me?"
The 6 treasures of Egypt are the things left by the gods of Egypt, they are 6 things symbolizing each god like the Scale of Ma'at of Anubis, this is the thing that according to her other self, she once used
As for the remaining 5 treasures... Uhhh, she does not remember clearly anymore, even though the other self keeps repeating the names she still cannot remember
'hey, are you listening to me?'
"Huh? Oh oh you mean you are talking about the treasures from your homeland right?"
'...now I am talking about how you should find a way to speak to make a good impression on him'
"Huh?"
Then she realized both Igor and she were already in the cafeteria, waiting to get food
"Since when?"
'...did you forget the concept of time? Just because you found me talking boring?'
"What? No no no, I was just... Thinking about... Uhh"
'thinking about the fact that you are not thinking about anything and only monologuing to yourself?'
"Can you read minds?"
'...I cannot believe you are my next life, oh gods, is this a trial you gave me?'
"Hey, what are you eating?"
This time the voice came from Igor, he was standing in front of her waiting in line to get food
"Oh, I am not picky"
"..."
"What?"
'dummy, better you say straight the food you like so he can get it for you, saying that is no different from forcing them into the headache of choosing a dish'
"But I am really not picky at all?"
'then what if he gets food that has a taste you hate?'
"..."
So she decided to talk about sweets, especially Macaron
And the surprise appeared
[+1 affection]
[Clue obtained for the target's food preference!]
...huh?
She blinked, looking at the interface bar that had added a few new things with a confused expression
[Igor Snowy
Relationship: 31/100 (friendly)
Difficulty: Are you sure?
Info: A mysterious boy of unknown origin, he also likes sweets especially ice cream, but that does not mean he will open his heart to you just because of a shared food preference
Evaluation: Hm, even though I already told you beforehand you still ignore what I said? That only makes everything you do more useless]
...he likes sweets like me?
And this thing is criticizing me more and more, what the hell did I do?
"So should I order for you as well or will you order?"
"...sorry to trouble you"
So sitting at the table, watching Igor say something to the cafeteria lady and she put food on the plate
And right when he put the plate down, in front of her were the foods she likes
While on Igor's side it was all cold food... Super cold at that
"...you seem to like ice cream huh?"
"Yeah, although it is cold it is hard to resist"
Do people with a certain element have preferences that revolve around it too?
Igor started putting his Ushanka hat down on the table, his hair then caught her attention
Why does his hair have white parts and black parts? Dyed?
'it is natural hair color'
"Impossible, I heard my dad say humans only have 2 hair colors in their life, natural hair color and white hair"
'yeah, unless the person in front of us does not have the word mysterious in the info, girl'
"So can you sense anything from him?"
'no, I lost almost all my powers, where would I get the ability to look once and know something about him?'
"But you are a soul from more than a hundred years ago, and you are the queen of Egypt!"
'I only know things that happened in Egypt! Things outside I know very limitedly and I am not someone who knows everything!'
While the two were arguing, Felia, Igor's starter monster crawled out of his Ushanka hat
It yawned once then flew to the yogurt jar that Igor brought for it, slowly eating
This time both of them paid attention to it
"I think I have not asked you, is it unusual for it to have intelligence like that?"
'unusual, in my time there were very few and even if there were they all came from the owner unlocking its intelligence by a method or the monster itself being a god'
"So which case does it belong to?"
'...I give up, because I feel its intelligence is very natural, seems not modified by the owner, so strange' (Lucas: please thank me for showing a path for Igor!)
Indeed the title mysterious boy of unknown origin is not just empty words...
