Sent back in time to become best girl

Wedding bells rang. Friends and family cheered. Best of all, I was now married to the man of my dreams. My name is Yona Funaguro, well I guess now its Yona Sakaaguro now that I’m married. I’ve been in love with Yoshi ever since we first met on a trip to Okinawa in elementary school. We didn’t reunite again until high school. There, Yoshi taught a study group consisting of me, my sisters, and some friends. Everyone had feelings for Yoshihiro. Even though I yearned to be with him, I decided to stand on the sidelines and route for one of my sisters.

Then, it happened. Yoshi chose me. At first, I felt I was undeserving, but I couldn’t lie to him, and told him I loved him. I then decided to get the blessings from all my friends and sisters that loved him. Some conceded with grace, while others were more bitter. My sister Miyuu was very upset with me, but I managed to talk things out and she begrudgingly acknowledged our relationship Everyone eventually made peace and is here today at my wedding. I’m glad we’re all still on good terms with each other... Now that all’s well, I can enjoy the after party, and the honeymoon.

As I gazed at everyone in attendance, I saw the words, “Yona didn’t deserve to win!” floating in the air.

I wiped my eyes, and it was gone. Then more messages appeared.

“Yona didn’t even do shit in the story.”

“Miyuu should have won.”

“Lousy author blew it in the end.”

“Fumiyo best girl.”

“He chose Yona? Lame. Nobody liked her.”

At that point I couldn’t take it anymore and let out an agonizing scream. To my shock, nobody seemed to react, or even move. I then looked around and noticed everyone was frozen in place, as if time had stopped.

                                                                                        …

“Yo! Yona!” I smirked as I lounged on a grey cloud.

“Who are you? Where am I!?” Yona screamed.

“I’m the Dark Dragon Emperor, Muramasa Jouzu. You’re here cause the fandom is pissed that you won.”

“MURAMASA JOUZU!? Wait what!? What are you even talking about? Fandom!? Won!?

“Read this and you’ll understand,” I smirked as I dropped a manga into her hands.

“Six chances at love? HUH!? WHY IS MY FACE ON THE COVER!? My friends and sisters are too! What is this!?”

Yona’s face went pale with disgust and fear as she read the manga.

“What the hell? This is EXACTLY how my life went. How did some super stalker pull this off without any of us noticing. Wait! Don’t tell me this was an inside job!” Yona screamed.

“Nah, I just made the world from the manga real. All those comments you saw at your wedding were fans of the series that were pissed you married Yoshi over their favorite character,” I stated.

“What the hell!? Why would people be upset? Everyone at my wedding was happy. Even my friends and sisters that deeply loved Yoshihiro were happy.”

“Really? Miyuu cried because it was you instead of her, Fumiyo ended up giving Yoshi one final hug before the ceremony. Your friend Sara still agonizes over the fact that she never had a chance to begin with. Finally, your other friend Yukino is still upset that you came out of nowhere and stole Yoshi’s heart when she had such a deep bond with him growing up.”

“Wait! Iroha loved him too- “

“Oh, she’s the only character the fandom hates more than you. Plus, she squandered her chance when she sabotaged Fumiyo’s confession.”

“So what’s your point? If you don’t mind, I’d like to get back to my wedding.”

“Nah, that wouldn’t be a very entertaining story. Instead, I’ve got a better idea. You’re going to go back in time to a certain point in the story. There, you’ll need to at least become the third favorite character in the fandom. If you fail to do so, you’ll die and then restart again. You’ll have save points too. If you want to see what the fandom thinks of you, just tap the right side of your head with your fingers. Bashing it against something hard will also trigger it.”

“Why!? And What do you mean by all that game like stuff!? None of this makes any sense.”

I then warped Yona to a certain event in the story. Now then, let’s go back to viewing things from Yona’s point of view.

                                                                              …

I could not believe what happened, after that weird dream with that creepy dark dragon guy, I was now in Kyoto. Am I still dreaming!? I don’t know. I am able to see this “fandom” I was told about by tapping the right side of my head.

It’s really freaky how I can see comments and polls. WAIT!? Could I have been abducted by aliens and trapped in a video game!? Aliens would explain why the manga is so accurate, but how could they stop time back at the wedding!?”

“Oi Yona! Stop spacing out! Weren’t you supposed to help carry Fumiyo to the top? Poor girl can’t climb these stairs with her sore ankle,” Miyuu growled.

Wait, MIYUU!? Why is she here!? And she mentioned carrying Fumiyo… AH! I remember! This is when I carried Fumiyo to the top, however, I didn’t realize Iroha was there, and when I came back up with Yoshi, Fumiyo was beaten to a pulp.

If I remember what was written in the manga… Iroha was the one who did it. However, Yoshi found out, and told her off causing her to become heartbroken. Then she ended up rallying us all to help Fumiyo confess, however, Fumiyo just smiled and told everyone it was OK, and she’d confess another time. Then-

*BONK*

“OW!”

My thoughts were interrupted by Miyuu smacking me on the head.

“Oi! Yona! Why are you acting weird?”

“GAH! Sorry Miyuu. Um do you know why we’re here instead of at my wedding?”

“Huh? Your wedding? We’re still in our third year of high school dummy. Wait, don’t tell me you’ve been going out with some shady- “

“No No NO! Nothing like that! I was just daydreaming. Oh yeah about Fumiyo, maybe she should confess down here instead of at the top,” I said.

“She wants to do it at the top. I know that girl’s an idiot, but I have to respect her resolve. Yoshi’s already halfway there anyway. Take Fumiyo up or I’ll never forgive you.”

                                                                          …

Just before reaching the top, I took Fumiyo off my back.

“Yona? We’re not at the top yet. Why are you dropping me off here?” Fumiyo stuttered.

“Oh, um just wanna make sure everything’s clear up top. I’ll come get you in a jiffy,” I shouted as I ran up.

Fumiyo, Miyuu, and I are identical triplets. Our sister Iroha is only in the same grade as us due to being held back twice in high school. I thought she was nice, yet that manga I read depicted her beating up Fumiyo out of jealousy. I still don’t trust that thing, so I’ll disguise myself as Fumiyo and test it out.

As I walked around the top, Iroha suddenly emerged from behind a pillar.

“Ara? Fu- YONA!? What are you doing mimicking Fumiyo!? Are you trying to- “

“Ah no! I just wanted to test things out,” I nervously laughed as I undid my disguise.

I forgot I was a bad liar.

“So why were you here? Were you hoping to make the confession a success?” I asked.

“Um yeah. Ahahaha.”

Something about Iroha’s tone unnerved me. I decided to see if the “fandom” could provide some help.

When I popped open the tab, the messages horrified me.

“Iroha’s a snake!”

“She wants to kill Fumiyo!

“Yona showed up as Fumiyo!? Is she onto her!?

The messages were all suggesting Iroha was going to do something to Fumiyo. No way! I shouldn’t believe this. I’ll just ask her and she’ll just laugh and think I’m joking.

“Hey Iroha, you weren’t planning to beat up Fumiyo to sabotage her confession, were you?”

To my shock and horror, Iroha’s face went pale as she stared at me.

“How- “

Before she could elaborate, an out of breath Yoshi appeared carrying Fumiyo.

“*Huff* I almost fell down,” Yoshi panted.

“Mo! If Yoshi’s implying, I’m heavy…” Fumiyo pouted.

Iroha then shot me a death glare before revealing herself.

“Ara! Look at you two love birds. Come on Yona, let’s leave these two alone for a bit.”

Iroha then dragged me down the path a bit before breaking her happy façade.

“Don’t you DARE get in my way too! I love Yoshi. He helped me rise from the depths of failure. I won’t let anyone else have him!” she growled.

“Iroha! Why are you acting like this you’ve never- “

“Weren’t you the one that said I should be more open with my feelings? Well that’s what I’m doing. If I need to hurt my sisters and friends to be with the man I love, I’ll do it,” she threatened as she walked away.

I then pulled up the fandom.

“Wingwoman Yona FTW!”

“Show that snake who’s boss!”

“I really want Yona to punch that bitch. She’d instantly rise to best girl if she did.”

Wait!? The fandom wanted me to beat up Iroha!? I could never, but she was acting crazy. Oh! I’ll just slap her.

I then ran up to Iroha and slapped her.She then fell to the ground as her eyes went white.

“Huh!? AHHH! SHE’S DEAD! I KILLED HER WITH A SLAP!”

“Oi Yona! Why are you- _!? Iroha!? What happened!? Why is she unconscious with a slap mark on her cheek!? Miyuu shouted.

I suddenly realized I had knocked her out with my slap. Whew! I thought I killed her. Wait! That's bad! People say my strength even rivals some of the strongest guys at our school.

All of a sudden, a notification from the fandom came in.

*Save point updated. Poll ranking: 4th*

No way, people actually like me more because I beat up my sister!? What's wrong with them!?

But apparently I'm 4th. Hmm,  wasn't one of the comments something about me not doing much?  Wait! I didn't really see much of myself in that manga. Does that mean, I simply need to stand out enough for my "win" to be accepted?  In that case, I'll make sure I stand out. I just need to climb one more spot, now who do I- HUH!?

The poll showed I was in 4th with 669 votes. However, 3rd place was nearly 2000 points away.

AHHH! How am I gonna make the fans accept me!? *Sigh* Guess I better use my power to become best girl.
