Chapter 11:

The bad ending

I won the romcom, but the fandom hates me so I was sent back in time to become best girl


                                                         [Warning! This gets dark]

As I ran around the field, I once again saw Sara and Iroha setting up posters. This time, I decided to ensure Iroha wouldn't be killing anyone. I charged up to Iroha and punched her in the face as hard as I could. She flew into the wall leaving an imprint as blood oozed down her face and forehead.

Sara screamed in shock as everyone came running over.

                                                                             ...

"You are suspended," the principal declared.

"Yona, I'm very disappointed. You're lucky Iroha survived that blow, but she received a concussion which could seriously effect her going forward. Her nose was broken as well. You are grounded and must apologize profusely to her," my father sternly stated.

                                                                           ...

I was confined to a small empty room in the shrine with nothing but a futon, a clock, a small desk, and my school books and supplies needed to do my homework. My phone was confiscated and I was only allowed to snack on veggie packets in between meal times.

                                                                         ...

I stared as Fumiyo entered to bring me dinner.

"Is Sara OK!?" I asked.

"Um, yeah?" Fumiyo replied.

"Good. Then everything's good," I smiled.

Fumiyo gazed oddly at me as she placed my dinner down.

"Why are you so concerned about Sara lately? Ever since Iroha started hanging out with her- _! Wait, are you into Sara?"

"NO!" I blushed.

"Hmm? Well if that was a punch for love, guess I can take your side. Don't worry, I'll support your marriage," Fumiyo smiled as she left.

MARRIAGE!? I just wanted to save Sara's life! I'm not attracted to her in THAT way!

I then popped open the fandom.

"New ship, Yona x Sara."

*YonaxSara fanart*

"Yuri Yona ftw!"

*Update you are now rank 4*

Looks like I went back up, though now that realistic image of me french kissing Sara will be forever ingrained into my mind. Damn you Fumiyo.

                                                                              ...

Once my suspension was lifted, I happily got ready for school. As I walked outside, I saw my three sisters waiting. Iroha had a bandage on her nose, but looked otherwise normal.

"And do you have something to say to Iroha?" Miyuu glared.

"No, bitch deserved it for what she did," I snarled.

"Ara Yona, Onee-san has feelings too you know," Iroha chuckled as she walked in front of me.

"Feelings? You tried to murder me you bitch! I hate you!"

Iroha went pale as she began recoiling in shock. She failed to realize she was right by the stairs and began to fall. I didn't reach out and watched her tumble down the stone stairs.

                                                                            ...

Iroha cried as she limped into the school. She now had a broken arm and leg, a neck brace, and had to use a crutch.

"You didn't need to hurt her like that," Fumiyo whispered.

"I didn't do anything. She fell on her own," I retorted.

It was the first day of the school culture festival, two days before Yoshi confessed in my original timeline.

I checked the rankings. Surprisingly, I was only 4 points behind Yukino. If I could overtake her then I'd be able to go back to my wedding.

Just like back then, Yoshi met us all in a classroom.

"*Sigh* It seems I need to make a choice. It pains me to see you all fighting over me like this. I'll make my decision at the end of the festival," Yoshi sighed.

After he finished, I attempted to speak with him, but he just avoided me.

                                                                                 ...

Once the first day was over, I spotted Iroha and Yoshi heading for the roof. I followed them and peered through the door as Iroha conversed with Yoshi.

"Yoshi-kun, do you love me? Please tell me yes," Iroha tearfully smiled.

"Why are you asking-"

"Because everyone hates me. Onee-san can't handle this. I know I was going to do something bad to Fumiyo just to try and sabotage her relationship with you. I know I went to that sketchy shrine and prayed for your romantic fate to change, but did I really deserve to be beaten and told I'm not loved!?"

"What do you mean!?"

"Yona's been giving me hell. Every day she's been sending me nasty messages telling me that I'm nothing but trash, how I'm a snake. See look at this!" Iroha said as she showed Yoshi her phone.

Huh? I didn't send her- Wait! She mentioned snake right? That's how the fandom refers to her. That bitch must've taken my phone when it was confiscated and copied the messages from the fandom. WAIT! did she intentionally allow herself to fall just to gather sympathy from Yoshi!? She's more evil than I thought.

"Tell me! I love you Yoshi-kun! Do you love me?" Iroha asked as she leaned against the railing.

"*Sigh* Iroha, I said I'd make my decision in two-"

"TELL ME NOW! I can't take it anymore!"

"*Sigh* Iroha, I think you have many wonderful charms, but I just don't see you in a romantic light. I'm sorry."

"Oh, It's because you have Yukino right?"

"HUH!?"

"I heard in Kyoto. You two are engaged, and have been for a long time. So I couldn't stop fate? Ahahahaha! So I really am unloved. My father says I'm just a lazy leech. My teacher's say I'm just a failure and should just drop out of school for both our sakes, my former classmates mock me for getting held back twice, Sara despises me for being so carefree, and my sisters hate me. Yona even hit me and let me fall down the stairs. Now, you don't love me. Sorry, Onee-san can't handle this. Well congratulations on your engagement," Iroha  tearfully smiled as she leaned against the railing.

Suddenly, the railing collapsed and Iroha fell. Yoshi ran towards the railing as I froze in shock by the door. 

"So even the world hates me. I guess I'm glad you at least care enough about me to want to save me, Yoshi," Iroha tearfully smiled as she fell.

I then ran down the stairs and outside. A crowd had gathered at the bottom of the building. Iroha was dead.  A wave of shock suddenly came over me, yet I couldn't cry. This was my sister, but also the woman who had gone so far off the edge that she did all those horrible things to me and Sara. Even then, there was still a part of me that wanted things to just go back to normal. I then checked the fandom.

"The snake is gone."

"Wait? did the author get meta? weird."

"I guess the author wanted her to suffer. Kinda feel a little bad for her now."

"Was Iroha really that bad though?"

"Yes."

*Update new poll rank 3*

I decided not to bother myself with it. I would be back at my wedding soon enough.

The culture festival still went on, though a somber mood hovered over the atmosphere. Fumiyo and Miyuu were heartbroken and wouldn't stop crying, while our father was more stressed than I'd ever seen him before.

"Where did I go wrong?" he'd constantly mutter to himself.

Yoshi continued to avoid me, while Sara started glaring at me with scorn.

                                                                            ...

Then the day of judgement came. Though, Yoshi didn't come to me like last time. Instead, he confessed to Yukino.

"I love you Yukino," Yoshi stated.

"I love you too... Yoshi," Yukino smiled back.

How could this be!?

I then pulled up the fandom.

"Yukino won? Boo!"

"The safe and predictable choice."

"Lol, we were engaged before, so screw the rest of you."

"Miyuu or Fumiyo should have won."

"Even Yona would have been better."

These past few loops had driven me mad. I couldn't take it anymore. I charged up to Yoshi and Yukino, shoved Yukino to the ground, and kissed Yoshi on the lips.

He recoiled in horror as Yukino slapped me.

"What the hell! He said he loves me!" she glared.

"Screw you! You think just because you've been engaged this whole time means you get to marry him!? Screw you! I love Yoshi and Yoshi loves me!" I shouted.

"Wait, you were engaged!?" Sara, Miyuu, and Fumiyo all said in unison.

Yoshi sighed as Yukino gloated.

"Yes, and we've been in love since childhood!"

"So you're saying we couldn't beat fate? Did I fail again. I thought we were a perfect match," Sara tearfully stuttered.

"No Sara, its-"

"HOW COULD YOU TWO HIDE THIS FROM US! YOU PLAYED WITH OUR HEARTS! HOW COULD YOU YUKINO!? YOU CHEATER! WHILE ALL OF US WERE WORKING OUR ASSES OFF TO TRY AND WIN YOSHI'S HEART, YOU HAD A CHEAT SHEET ALL ALONG! I HATE YOU YOU RICH BITCH!" Sara shouted as she slapped Yukino.

"Yoshi, was this the reason you turned me down? Because you were already engaged from the start?" Fumiyo trembled.

"No- I-"

Fumiyo teared up and ran off crying.

"So you're saying I never had a chance against the rich and beautiful Yukino huh?" Miyuu tearfully glared.

"Miyuu, I'm... *Sigh*" Yoshi sighed as he hung his head in defeat.

"If you only confessed to her because of that dumb engagement, don't worry. I love you, and I'll do anything, even run away with you, fight Yukino's rich parents, fight my own father, anything to make our love come to fruition," Miyuu smiled as she held Yoshi's hands.

"Miyuu... Yukino!"

Yukino and Sara stopped fighting as they turned to Yoshi.

"I'm sorry Yukino, I know I confessed, but it was half hearted. I think Miyuu is the right woman for me."

Yukino dropped to her knees and began sobbing.

"WHY!? WE'VE BEEN ENGAGED! I REALLY DO LOVE YOU!"

"But I don't fully love you. I don't want to spend the rest of my life with a woman I don't truly love."

Sara eased up a bit, and tearfully smiled as she walked away.

"Wait Sara, I know you have feelings for me, but don't get the wrong idea. I think you're a remarkable woman. I'll happily continue to be your friend and strive to help you overcome your test anxiety and find your path in life."

"Thank you Yoshi. I'm glad you don't think I'm a failure. Good luck to you and Miyuu."

"I'm disappointed Yona. You were not who I thought you were," Yoshi glared as he walked away with Miyuu.

I slammed my head into the ground in frustration. How could this be? What did I do wrong!?

The fandom popped up and displayed a message.

*Bad ending do you wish to go to Miyuu's wedding or go back to the save point?*

"Save point," I cried.

*Bonk*

"OW!"

I had accidentally slammed the locker door into my head. I rubbed my head and gazed up at the fandom I had accidentally summoned.

*Poll rank 5, restored to save point*

I was back at gym class on that fateful day.

Suddenly, I found myself back in my wedding dress in the place where I had originally been summoned to.
