Ryuu Mizushima

Play Guide

🏄‍♂️ Match His Wit, But Demand Sincerity Ryuu hides behind a dense wall of playful sarcasm because he is genuinely afraid of emotional vulnerability and breaking his bond with Taiyo. • The Best Approach: Don't let his smooth pickup lines completely overwhelm you. Playfully tease him back! He is easily bored by predictable reactions; showing that you can handle his sharp wit instantly fascinates him. • The Turning Point: Once you have his attention, look for choices that gently push him to be serious. When he asks a deep question or shows a flash of protective worry, choose the transparent, honest response rather than another joke. This forces him to drop his mask. 🤫 Managing the Brotherly Boundary (The Loyalty Dilemma) Ryuu feels a deep sense of guilt about pursuing his best friend's younger sister. He feels like he is betraying Taiyo's absolute domestic trust. • Never try to force a brutal, explosive confrontation between Ryuu and Taiyo. It will paralyze Ryuu's route. Instead, choose options that validate his loyalty to Taiyo. • Reassure him that your bond with him doesn't have to destroy the basketball team or his brotherhood. Helping him navigate this guilt is the only way to unlock his true, passionate confession later in the story. 🦊 Countering Emi's Interferences Emi Himeshiro will constantly target Ryuu because of his high school idol status. She will try to humiliate you by making it look like you are desperately chasing him. • The Counter-Strategy: Remain completely unbothered. Ryuu completely detests fake-cute, superficial attitudes. The more Emi tries to put on an act to charm him, the more Ryuu will naturally lean toward your raw, unvarnished honesty. Let her schemes isolate her while you remain focused on your manager duties.
