Chapter 4: That’s not how it’s portrayed in “Gala Geimu”!

“Ran, what are you talking about?”

Gu Ge’s voice suddenly rose several levels, and her grip on Jiang Ran’s hand tightened.

Jiang Ran moved the phone slightly, bringing the microphone closer, and said in a low voice, “I just feel like… I’ve been troubling you too much, Gu Ge. Besides, didn’t you just find a job? Taking leave all the time… won’t it interfere with your work?”

Gu Ge placed her hand on Jiang Ran’s shoulder.

“You, you’re good in every way, except you’re too kind. Eat your cake first, and then I’ll give you the answer.”

Jiang Ran stared directly into Gu Ge’s eyes.

She couldn’t see any sign of a lie.

Her face was clean, and there wasn’t even an unnatural expression.

‘Maybe I guessed wrong.’

To her, Gu Ge’s kindness seemed a bit unrealistic, but looking at her now…

‘Is this just her personality?’

“Okay.”

Jiang Ran picked up the small spoon and ate the cake in small bites, following the memories in her mind and trying to keep her habits consistent with the original owner.

She could feel a somewhat intense gaze from above her head.

As a yandere romance game, her brain told her this wasn’t normal, but Jiang Ran had no evidence right now.

‘Does Gu Ge have some kind of blackening route?’

Jiang Ran thought idly.

Just as she was about to scoop another piece of cake, a hand unexpectedly propped up her chin, and a snow-white tissue wiped away the cake residue from the corner of her mouth.

“No rush. Eat slowly. The doctor said your illness is from exhaustion. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can call me.”

Gu Ge rummaged through her bag and pulled out a white box.

When the box was opened, a brand-new phone lay inside.

“Use this to contact me from now on. I’ve already set up the SIM card for you. In the contacts, the first pinned entry is my number. If you can’t get through…”

Gu Ge paused and hesitated for a long time before speaking.

“You can check the notes. My colleague’s contact information is there. In short, no matter what happens, contact me as soon as possible.”

“Is… is this for me?”

Jiang Ran waved her hands.

“No, it’s too expensive. I… I really can’t take it. Sister Gu, put it away and use it yourself. I have a phone. Don’t even give me the old one.”

Gu Ge moved a step closer.

“And what if I refuse? Take it. My salary is very high. In the future, when I get a raise, I’ll take you to see the sea, or we can move to a city by the ocean for a while.”

The sea…

Jiang Ran’s vision became a bit hazy as if she remembered something like that.

“But those were just jokes I said in the past. You took them seriously?”

“I did. Now, take it. Besides, the question you asked earlier isn’t a problem at all. I never thought there was anything wrong with this. You’re just being a bit too sensitive.”

Jiang Ran’s head felt dizzy.

‘How could I be sensitive?’

In the past, she would have barely exchanged greetings with a neighbor.

This was almost on the level of her own sister.

It was clearly crossing a line, yet it sounded so casual coming from her…

Jiang Ran felt the dizziness intensify.

She felt dazed, and when she looked up at Gu Ge, she found the other woman’s face beginning to double.

Her stomach hurt.

Something was trying to come up.

Whispers continued to murmur in her ears.

She seemed to understand—the uncomfortable feeling was caused by the words coming out of Gu Ge’s mouth.

She stood up quickly and stammered, “Sister… Sister Gu, my stomach feels a bit upset. Wait for me for a moment.”

Jiang Ran grabbed the contract and the phone from under the pillow and fled the Hospital Ward.

She left behind a stunned Gu Ge.

‘Did the hypnosis… fail this time?’

***

Running all the way to the restroom, Jiang Ran realized one thing: human potential is immense.

When one feels like they are dying or especially when they want to vomit, they can truly burst with incredible power.

Just as Jiang Ran saw the blue sign and was about to rush inside, her footsteps suddenly stopped.

She almost forgot that ‘her dick was gone.’

Enduring the rolling nausea, Jiang Ran stumbled into the women’s restroom.

After confirming no one was around, she found a stall and locked herself inside.

Then, she could no longer control herself and began to dry heave.

‘What’s wrong with me? Why is it so painful?’

‘Stupid phone, where exactly did you bring me?’

After a bout of violent nausea, Jiang Ran stood there for a long time, but nothing actually came out.

Despite the intense urge to vomit, the pain in her stomach had completely dissipated.

‘How strange.’

Jiang Ran opened her phone.

The pale screen was still stuck on that Evil App.

The previous voice no longer echoed in her head, but this strange APP was full of oddities.

She looked at the Parent-Child Contract tucked under her arm with some frustration.

It was lucky she had brought it when she ran.

Otherwise, there would have been another misunderstanding.

Jiang Ran studied the APP.

Below the task requirements, she saw a line of small text.

After clicking it, she discovered a shocking revelation!

**[Starting Hidden Mission]**

**[Character Profiles Updating…]**

Jiang Ran looked around the screen and felt completely hopeless.

She had transmigrated into a niche Galgame with supernatural elements and yandere yuri themes.

Even worse, her role in this mission wasn’t the protagonist at all.

It was… it was the kind of gloomy loner character taken to the extreme!

She was even the Yellow Hair in a yandere novel who dared to destroy the yandere female lead’s happiness.

‘Is… is this right?’

‘Am I… am I really that strong?’

‘Strong enough to snatch someone away from a yandere?’

Not only that, but looking at the plot prompts, she was a Yellow Hair character who appeared throughout the entire story.

It wasn’t until the very end that she would be stabbed to death by the yandere and hung on the soccer field to cosplay as a Teru Teru Bozu.

‘Great, they didn’t even invite me to the cosplay.’

Jiang Ran was furious seeing this small line of text.

If her current body weren’t so weak, she would have really wanted to smash the phone.

What kind of person makes an APP where the most important information is in such tiny print?

And below that tiny print, there was another line of semi-transparent text.

The goal of the Yellow Hair mission is to become a Yellow Hair.

She laughed out of anger.

In other words, this mission wasn’t entirely mandatory at first, but if you entered it, well, ‘sorry, we aren’t liable either.’

Jiang Ran continued to scroll down the task plot description, but a prompt appeared.

**[You have consumed your one free viewing.]**

‘Damn it.’

Jiang Ran went back to browse the previous task description. \

There was one point she couldn’t understand.

How could the original owner, who was so kind and sickly, suddenly have a change of heart and do things to destroy a yandere’s relationship?

According to the plot described in the task, in the near future, she would play the role of a total villain.

Relying on her relationships with everyone, she would frantically slander the female lead, Su Wanqing, and destroy the romance between the leads.

Scrolling down, Jiang Ran saw something even more explosive.

This Galgame work contained supernatural elements; therefore, the female leads would possess abilities that usually only appeared in smutty doujinshi.

Jiang Ran’s scalp went numb.

How could this be?

Shouldn’t she have transmigrated into a casual romance novel, cosplaying as a side character who could just exit the stage?

This was nothing like the Galgames she remembered.

**[Administrator’s determination detected.]**

**[Morale Boost Package has been issued.]**

**[Supernatural Ability Immunity: +10%]**

**[Warm reminder: Before reaching complete immunity, please disguise yourself carefully, Administrator, to avoid being discovered by the other party!]**

Jiang Ran: ?

‘Damn it, what kind of edging challenge is this?’

However, before Jiang Ran could even voice her curses, a clear knock sounded from outside the door.

“Ran, are you in there?”

Jiang Ran froze!

That voice belonged to Gu Ge.

And she could feel that the other woman had used a supernatural ability in that last sentence!
