Woman, Go Away, Don't Disturb My Match-3 (Seeking Recommendations)

In the next story.

A young lord from the Warring States era.

Her mission and duty was to guard her family from destruction.

Once, she found a mysterious bronze mirror that let her travel to an unbelievable place.

Here there was no war, everyone could live freely and happily, and she was dazzled by the bustling sights. Without realizing it, she met him: a not-so-useless otaku.

Their first meeting was very unpleasant, and they even ended up fighting.

She lost. By the rules of her world, he became her husband from then on.

When she got hungry, the otaku took her out for a meal.

A serving of pork cutlet rice. This surprised her greatly: "So much meat, this must cost a lot, right?"

Because in her world, commoners couldn't afford meat.

Here, she also tasted a type of alcohol called beer for the first time.

'What is this, it's so good.' Drunk and tipsy, she hugged the bottle, saying happily.

This was probably the most relaxed she had ever been.

After the hangover, she woke up and picked up the bronze mirror that had brought her to this world.

She brought that otaku from before back to her own world.

But this didn't bring much change.

In her world, everything was just like before.

The Yano Family was still the crumbling Yano Family, with dangerous enemies watching eagerly.

The only change, perhaps, was this seemingly unimpressive 'husband'.

He became her Captain of the Guard, but that was all.

Even with his arrival, they ultimately couldn't avoid the Yano Family's destruction.

Two months later, she sat covered in bloodstains on the city wall, the endless flames of war and blood dyeing the land red.

Outside the city, corpses piled like mountains, and the roar of battle shook the heavens.

Those were the enemies about to breach the city.

Looking at the enemies approaching outside the city, she knew she still hadn't been able to let the Yano Family survive in this chaotic world.

"It seems the three hundred years of glory for the Yano Family are about to end."

The otaku was still desperately urging her to flee, but she only gently shook her head.

"Makoto, I am different from you. From the day Father draped the war robe over me, I swore... to protect the Yano Family's glory with my life."

The otaku brought out a pile of examples and reasoning, trying to convince her: the world's great trends, long divided must unite, long united must divide—yours isn't the only family to be destroyed.

"Makoto, you won't understand. Here lies the dreams and blood of generations of the Yano Family. Take this bronze mirror and go quickly."

She confessed everything to him.

After hearing it, he even more insisted she leave with him.

But she had her convictions—how could she agree?

If she were willing to abandon those convictions, why would she have come back in the first place?

Closing her eyes, she felt that his voice seemed to have disappeared from around her, leaving only the sound of enemies breaching the city approaching.

"Makoto, did you leave? Really... left... Actually, I really wanted to go with you too."

"I still want to drink beer with you again... That beer, it was really good... really good!"

Tears uncontrollably welled up at the corners of her eyes.

Memories from before surfaced again, and an illustration of her raising a glass appeared in the center of the screen.

"Husband, this wine is truly delicious! How about two more cups? Look, I've already drunk it all. You have a couple too, come on, cheers!"

And in this daze, she seemed to faintly hear his voice.

"Kill!!!! I am Yano Anna's Captain of the Guard! Anyone who blocks me, killed without mercy!!"

Watching the game return to the main menu screen, Jiang Ping couldn't help sniffing, then closed his slightly sore eyes.

It took a long while before he opened them.

"What the hell!"

"What the hell is wrong with this game! A gentleman's game, why is the art so good, the voice acting so good, the match-three battle system so well-made—doesn't that cost money!?"

"I just wanted to play a gentleman's game, why did you make it so emotional!"

Even as he 'complained' out loud, Jiang Ping's hands didn't hesitate at all.

Of course, he wasn't reaching for tissues, but exiting the game's main menu and decisively entering the store to leave a positive review.

Even though the refund period hadn't passed, directly clicking the game review meant he couldn't get a refund anymore.

But none of that mattered, so the rest goes without saying.

Just this alone made Jiang Ping feel it was worth it.

He even thought that selling it for ten bucks—the creator must be an absolute fool!

It wasn't just Jiang Ping. Through some obscure overseas forum, plenty of LSP players stumbled upon this game and clicked in with curiosity.

And when they exited, everyone was filled with overwhelming emotion.

Some were moved by the story within the game.

The tale of the elf and the demon made them ponder the good and evil of human nature.

Humanity was wallowing in its own degradation, yet it was an elf—an outsider—who helped them, only to be repaid with ingratitude.

The story of the Otaku and the Female General moved them to tears.

He seemed like a useless shut-in, but when the moment came to leave, he burst forth with courage and responsibility beyond ordinary imagination.

The tale of the dragon maid and the knight was a long and wondrous journey.

"Our deeds surpass the ancient sage-kings; who can stand alongside us?"

Because of us, the evil great beasts dared not ravage the lands; because of us, the greedy rulers dared not oppress the people.

And the story of Caiyun and Mingyue made countless LSPs weep.

Even if you are Mingyue's reincarnation, Qingfeng is still Qingfeng.

Two hundred years of waiting, two hundred years of reincarnation—the story of Mingyue and Caiyun should have ended two hundred years ago.

It was clearly a game that LSPs loved most.

So why, after playing it, did they feel so heavy, so sorrowful?

These players finally understood what those earlier forum posts had meant.

In that moment, they felt it all firsthand.

Of course, there were also many impatient gentlemen who, being bad at Match-3 games, were shut out entirely.

"Junior Sister Caiyun, please stop sucking my blood! Open the door for me! I'm your Senior Brother Mingyue! Let me see you!"

These players studied the Match-3 battle system in the game over and over, endlessly grinding scores and currency to upgrade and buy items.

In the end, these players evolved.

They no longer cared about the game's adult content at all—instead, they became obsessed with the Match-3 game within it.

Simple and clear, yet not lacking in fun.

For an adult game, this was simply unbelievable.

It's just that the girl beside them was really annoying—she was blocking them from playing Match-3!

"Woman, get out of the way! Move aside quickly, don't disturb me while I'm playing Match-3!"

"This time, with my wits, I'm definitely going to beat my previous high score!"
