The R Report

Greetings. This is your cute and cool observer, R.

Did you like that introduction? Well, it doesn’t matter. Just think of it as your silly acquaintance R’s way of saying hello. Anyway, it’s time for the usual report.

Observation Target: Singularity Branch Point Holder.

Name: Rekka Namidare. No changes.

Sex: Male. No changes.

Age: 16 years and 3 months. Number of days has been removed for brevity.

Several minor changes to height and weight that will be skipped, as well.

Location: Japan, the Namidare household. No changes.

Present health status is good.

I always ask myself this, but is there any real need for this long list of basic info? It’s really boring, so can you ask my superior if it’s okay to skip it?

Now on to the good stuff. I’ll start with the heroines I’ve reported on so far. Satsuki is still as devoted as ever, isn’t she? She continues to keep her position next to Rekka, despite the increasing number of heroines. Lately she seems to be trying to find ways to put little hearts into the lunches she makes without others noticing.

Harissa is much the same. She has the handicap of looking like a little girl, but she’s still doing her best. Sometimes I see her in front of Rekka’s room carrying a pillow, but she hasn’t worked up the courage to ask to sleep next to him yet. I think, however, if she really tried to sell him on her being childlike, he might agree to it.

Iris is always aggressive. Rekka’s also quite weak to breasts. If she was a little smarter about it, she could win him over easily, but she can be surprisingly innocent in that regard. She prefers to keep things romantic in her attempts to appeal to him.

Tsumiki has some difficulties being honest about her feelings—the people of this era would call her a “tsundere,” I’m told—and seems to be lagging behind the others. It’s quite moving to see her looking so depressed in the kitchen after Rekka chokes on her food, though.

Tetra’s main obstacle seems to be how busy she is. She only occasionally sees Rekka at Nozomiya, but she seems to believe in Rekka more than anyone else.

Lea was a very difficult person to understand, but she’s revealed a surprising part of her character. She’s very mature mentally, so I was surprised to see that her lifestyle is such a mess. Personally, I think that kind of incongruity is great. Lots of opportunities. She also has the biggest boobs.

Hibiki, sharing a bloodline similar to Rekka’s, has built a different relationship with him. One of trust. It’s been strictly platonic so far, but lately she’s been wearing more feminine clothing, which is very cute.

Rosalind, due to the nature of her story, is a very complicated figure. Her devotion to Rekka borders on dangerous. She seems to see a lot of his ancestor in him, and the resulting guilt makes her hesitate around him. Once she spends more time around him and Rekka simply becomes Rekka to her, she’ll go after him as strongly as anyone, I expect.

Suzuran is definitely drawn towards Rekka, I believe, but she’s spent so little time as a human that she doesn’t know what her feelings are. She’s very devoted, and—lucky for her—a maid. Once she has a firmer grasp on the human heart, she may find it easy to make Rekka hers. Every man loves maids, after all.

Chelsea is a very caring girl, perhaps because of her little brother. I’ve heard that boys Rekka’s age love to be surrounded by the kind of gentleness she offers. But because she travels around the world so much, she doesn’t spend much time with Rekka. That puts her at a significant disadvantage, but the double threat of the big sister type with big boobs is a powerful weapon, I believe.

Rain, like you’d expect from a mermaid, is young and beautiful. Any boy would jump at the chance to marry a girl like her... except for Rekka, who is dense and an idiot.

Fam is, mentally at least, the youngest of the lot. Whether her purity turns to an advantage or not... Well, that depends on how much into lolicon Rekka is. It’s a classic debate. Is he into loli, or does he like big boobs? Perhaps he likes lolis with big boobs?

Shirley seems to have calmed down a great deal after her story’s conclusion, but is that really the case? I don’t know what’s in her heart, but it seems that she no intention of abandoning the fight for Rekka. She’s probably the most calculating of the group, which means that it’s impossible to tell what part she may play in the battle to decide the fate of the future.

This concludes the report on the existing heroines. A good bit of this is my personal opinion, so please remove that before passing it on to my superior.

Now, on to the primary topic of this report. The new heroines for this report are Midori Tokiwa and Momone Kibi, but they both have something that makes them different from the other heroines. Neither one has their own individual story.

There were some interesting events surrounding how they met Rekka, but compared to the other heroines, it was all on a small scale with no risk of a bad ending. In that sense, it does not seem appropriate to refer to them as heroines. This means that it is safe to assume, however, that both Midori Tokiwa and Momone Kibi are characters in my own story. The special nature of my story, where Rekka chooses someone to save the future, appears to have worked to my benefit. The War of All occurred because Rekka failed to choose from any of the heroines. That’s why I want him to choose one of them, so that the war can be avoided. That is the premise of my story.

What’s important there is that when Rekka chooses a heroine, the other heroines must become aware of this. Since no one can see me, that means that I cannot become the heroine of my own story. And thus, other heroines are needed...

If, hypothetically, Rekka had heard about the future and gotten too scared to resolve my story, as long as he remained a part of my story, he’d continue to encounter other heroines... The researchers used this theory to spend two years developing me, yes? And it seems their plan paid off.

Well, it doesn’t matter now. Rekka didn’t run away. He chose, for better or for worse, to confront my story instead of running. In the end, their little insurance policy was unnecessary. But, and I can say this now when I couldn’t before, I believe that this was their real goal.

It has to be, correct? Rekka’s specs are, at least in terms of numbers, no different than any boy his age. The only things that make him unique are the bloodline of the Namidare and his extreme obtuseness concerning women. I didn’t expect him to risk his life to save these stories. He’s a very strange boy, Rekka is.

He has normal physical abilities, normal values, normal sensibilities, and no special powers... but for some reason his decisions and his actions have changed many people’s fates. With untrained fists, an average brain, and average courage, Rekka continually overcomes bad endings. He’s like a walking butterfly effect. With his tiny power, no greater than a butterfly flapping its wings, he can change destiny.

He has no ultimate magic, no incredible psychic powers, and no exceptional strength. There is nothing about him that makes him a hero, yet he continues to do the heroic. Is it because he is a Namidare? Or is Rekka Namidare perhaps simply the most unique exception of all? Honestly, he doesn’t look like it.

But... yes, over the last three months I’ve spent living with him, I realize that he’s just like you said he was. I can only say this now, but I’d honestly imagined that you were overestimating him. Either way, as his observer, I’d like to continue to watch Rekka. Until the day the future is saved, that is.

This concludes my report. Forward it to the doctor.
