Cult of Takumi Route

Everyone felt the same way: Stressed. Talk of time travel from Takumi was already bad enough then there was the invaders. When Takumi traveled back in time, everyone got a boost to their cryptoglobin. Not just Takumi’s teammates but the invaders too…

Defeating invader after invader, ones stronger than ever, and recently losing one of their team members... It was tough. Even after a week, things still weren't better. Everyone was still mentally exhausted and depressed. It felt like nothing would get better...

No one felt worse than Takumi. Even the original timeline Takemaru was one of the few classmates to survive and here… he was the only classmate dead. All because his time travel made the enemies stronger. He never thought he’d forgive himself for it. For accidentally leading to a friends death.

Then Yugami approached Takumi.

There was a pill that he was working on. It would increase everyone's trust in the person that took it. It may even lead to him getting a confidence boost as everyone starts to trust and accept his orders. Originally, Takemaru told him to stop making it. That it was wrong. That it was almost like mind control, making people feel a way that they aren't actually feeling. But with him gone and everyone depressed, Yugami thought it might be a good chance for the pill to be used and with Takumi being their leader, he offered the pill to him.

Takumi spent the rest of the day deciding what to do. It felt wrong and like it was betraying Takemaru's legacy if he didn't the pill to be made or used... But he was their leader and he needed to inspire confidence in everyone, and all he saw walking around the school was depression. Sirei even thought it was a good idea. He was kinda like Takumi's boss. The one that put him in-charge and seemed to know the most about what was going. His advice, plus what Takumi saw, was enough to make him give in.

With a sigh, he headed back to his room and took the pill, immediately passing out.

He woke up a week later and headed to the cafeteria for breakfast. The result was almost instant. His classmates were complimenting him, offering him food. The effect of the pill was stronger than he first guessed but it was working. The only one it didn't effect was Nozomi. She was strangely normal and a bit suspicious of what was going on.

Every week, Takumi took the pill again to keep the effects going and each week, it felt like the effects were getting stronger. It was as if all the girls fell in love with him and all the guys wanted to be his best friend. Each person was begging for his attention.

Even Sirei was getting a bit worried.

Surprisingly, Eito came to the rescue. He suggested treating private time with Takumi as a reward. That they had to give Takumi personal space, act normal around him, and not go looking for him. If they did, they got punished. If they followed those rules, then they'd have a chance of being chosen to hang out with Takumi the next day or that night. Since Eito hated Takumi, they agreed to let him act as a judge and decide who got to hang out with Takumi each day/night.

Once the person is chosen, they can tell Eito want they want and he'd help set things up for her and Takumi.

A few days later and Eito finally chose a person to be rewarded.
