Chapter Text
It’s lunch, a much-needed break after BM vs Ubers, yet silence was the only thing that overcame the Blue Lock cafeteria when Ego’s face flashed on the massive screen, replacing the Blue Lock logo.
That, at least, was a normal occurrence for the players.
What wasn’t expected was the bright red Nintendo logo spinning behind the bowl cut man.
Bachira’s hand shot up first, “Ego-shan, ‘re we ge’in sued?’” He remembered the time the entire facility was exchanging curses while playing Mario Kart. Live on BLTV. That stream was apparently taken down just hours later.
Grains of rice fell out the teen’s mouth, making the others sitting in the same table look at him with appallment.
Grabbing the nearest tissue, a certain blue haired striker who seemed to be used to his friend's obscene behaviour wiped the corners of his mouth. Taken aback, Bachira’s eyes went wide, but as he processed the situation, he looked at the people around him with a smug smile.
Isagi swore he heard someone whisper “Lucky bastard,” but he wasn’t entirely sure why his friends were shooting glares that could pierce Bachira's soul.
“Greetings, diamonds in the rough. No, we aren’t getting sued. In fact, Nintendo has asked us to collaborate with them.” Ego dictated, earning a few curious murmurs across the cafeteria.
Two extraordinary players were the most enthusiastic in particular, a sadist in Bastard Munchen, and a lazy sloth from Manshine, though the latter just doesn’t show it.
“What’s the collaboration about, Ego-san?” Isagi interrogated with excitement laced in his voice. He could really use some entertainment right now!
Ego appeared to soften his voice at the question of his favourite star player, “As all of you know, they’re currently making a sequel of Tomodachi Life. The developers want us to test the game before it is released to the public.”
Just then, a familiar woman walks in, holding a Nintendo Switch on one hand, and a remote on the other. Anri smiled at the sight of the curious teens.
“Everyone, please create your Mii’s now. Everything in the shop is accessible, so have fun!” Anri stated, handing a box of switches to the nearest player, Isagi. “Isagi-kun, please pass the box so everyone can get a piece.”
“Also, this is gonna be broadcasted again on BLTV. Foul language will be censored. Diamond tiers can access to watch the game 24/7, be sure to upgrade now.” Ego’s voice followed through the speakers once more, before switching the projection of the screen to the game.
A single thought crossed over the minds of all the players, Ego doesn’t really miss the chance to get money, huh…
The title screen of Tomodachi Life : Living the Dream flashed onto the monitor, a cheerful theme blasting through the speakers.
After passing the box, the navy-haired striker wasted no time opening the Mii menu.
“Woah..” He mumbled, fingers gliding through each option. Isagi had played the first installation when he was a kid, but the customization here exceeded his expectations.
Compared to the original Tomodachi Life, the customization had expanded significantly. There were dozens of hairstyles, more eye shapes than he could count, layered clothing, accessories, even Bastard München's official jersey had somehow made it into the catalog!
A small smile found its way to Isagi’s face.
Not even five minutes passed when the cafeteria erupted into chaos, each player meticulously crafting each of their Miis to resemble them.
“Look at mine, Isagi!” Bachira chimed, shoving his screen to the striker. Two particular things Isagi noticed with Bachira’s character is its big ass bug eyes, and it wearing a bee costume. Not really out of character.
“Cool, man! Look at mine,” Isagi replied, displaying his switch. His Mii looked like him, as expected. Of course, he didn’t forget to add his sprout and the BM Jersey which was available.
Bachira stared in awe, burning Isagi’s Mii into memory. How cute!
“Isagi, you should make your eyes bigger,” a speedy redhead came to view, stealing a glance from Isagi’s switch.
“Really? I think it’s the same size as my eyes right now though..” He locked his cerulean eyes with Chigiri’s rosy ones, as if to prove the point.
Chigiri didn’t seem to take it well as his ears and neck turned to the same shade as his hair.
Isagi, you dummy!
“Isagi is a wicked man, not even sparing the princess.” Otoya whined from the next table, shaking his head in a disproving manner.
Kurona added, not even looking up from his device, “Wicked, wicked.”
“What did I even do?!” The striker retorted, evident panic rising from his voice.
The redhead waved his hand, “Nothing, Isagi. They’re just messing with you,” and gave a dirty look to Otoya.
A big text flared the monitor, stealing their attention.
All Miis registered! Please return the switches.
One by one, every player’s avatar appeared on the screen, popping up on the island named “BLUE LOCK X NINTENDO.”
Tiny apartments sprang up from the ground where the Miis stood, the fountain splashed beautifully in the centre plaza, and a beach stretched across the shore, while the shopping district came into view.
Every player seemed to be interested in the game, seeing how they can’t take their eyes off the screen.
Anri’s voice snapped them, “Please put them back in the box I gave you earlier.”
Reluctantly, the players returned their Switches one by one. A few lingered for a second longer before placing them back into the box, as if hoping to squeeze in one last glance at their tiny counterparts.
Anri smiled knowingly, "Don't worry. Everything from here on out will be displayed on the monitor."
Almost on cue, the island came to life. Tiny Miis wandered out of their apartments, looking around curiously as though they had just arrived on a deserted island.
MiiRou (Barou) immediately marched toward the fountain with his arms crossed, MiiChira (Bachira) skipped after a butterfly, SeishiMii (Nagi) stepped outside, looked around, then promptly walked back into his apartment.
The entire cafeteria burst into laughter.
“Hey, how is this game so accurate?” Reo chuckled, running his hands through his hair.
Meanwhile, a mini Isagi just stepped out of Apartment 11, his Mii’s eyes winced at the sunlight before stretching above his head, a flower aura radiating off it.
“Awww..” Nanase unconsciously mumbled.
“It even has that cute little sprout!” Shidou grinned, pointing at the stubborn ahoge wiggling as YoiMii walked.

Before anyone could comment further, a notification chimed throughout the cafeteria.
> 🔔Someone has something to say!
The camera panned to the whole island before zooming in a house, Apartment 11.
YoiMii (Isagi) had a yellow thought bubble above its head. The game paused dramatically before displaying the dialogue box.
“Oh?” Aiku leaned in, curiously.
The dialogue box continued,
> Yoimii : I’d like to make a friend.
“Well, that’s Isagi for ya’,” Hiori chuckled, looking at his friend.
The camera followed YoiMii as he confidently strided across the island, in search of a new friend. Walking past the fountain, he spotted MiiToshi (Rin) sitting on a bench. How accurate!
Rin quirked his eyebrow up, wondering what’s gonna happen with him and Isagi.
The screen faded to black, then to YoiMii approaching MiiToshi, sitting beside him.
> YoiMii : A new face! I’m YoiMii! (˶>⩊<˶)
> MiiToshi : Uh. I’m MiiToshi.
*Yoimii shares his knowledge about soccer to Miitoshi.*
> MiiToshi : Sorry, I can’t understand you, you’re going too fast.
Isagi’s avatar can be visibly seen deflating, his posture shrank as he stood up from the bench and faced the camera.
Yoimii : We didn’t really hit it off. (｡ᵕ ◞ _◟)
Rin genuinely looked like he was about to go into the screen and murder his character.
“Underlashes! You already made the sprout sad!” Shidou howled, veins appearing in his neck.
Rin yelled, already standing up to face the demon. “Shut the ▇▇ up! I didn’t want to!”
Isagi just sighed, feeling disappointed as even in a game, he doesn’t have a good relationship with Rin. “It’s okay! I’m sure they can become friends again later,” he smiled.
Rin felt guilt wash over him. If this Mii-thing is really him, they would be married right now! Have a happy family! With two dogs!

Even Bachira looked heartbroken, his lips frowned as unshed tears gathered in his eyes, “YoiMii tried so hard, I’m gonna cry..”
Isagi looked at him, dumbfounded. “Hey, you’re overdoing it now.”
YoiMii walked away, blue squiggles hanging over his head as he kicked a pebble across the path. Suddenly, a familiar alarm rang again!
> 🔔What’s up with MiiToya?
The screen moved a few miles right, zooming in on a familiar ninja with white hair with a green highlight down the middle… Was MiiToya (Otoya) wearing a pink catboy suit?
“I like your style, little ninja!” Shidou boomed, pointing at Otoya.
Otoya shot back a wink at the devil, excited for what's about to come.
Fading into black, MiiToya was seen walking along a path, when he collided with YoiMii.
> MiiToya : Oof! Sorry, my mind was somewhere else, lol.
MiiToya scratched his head before looking up to YoiMii. Suddenly, flowers bloomed all over the screen, making the atmosphere romantic.
“No ▇▇ way Otoya was the first one.” Karasu mused, fistbumping Otoya in front of him.
Chigiri looked at the screen with hidden anger, so did the other players in the vicinity.
>YoiMii : It’s my bad too. You OK?
MiiToya stood up with a blush spread in his face, eyes twinkling.
> MiiToya : Yeah, I’m OK.
> YoiMii : Well, I’m happy no one got hurt. See you later! (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)
YoiMii walked off, blissfully unaware, leaving a dazed MiiToya staring where the former just stood.
> MiiToya : Hey, who was that?
> MiiToya : YoiMii, huh? Even his name is dreamy…
> MiiToya : Am I... falling in love with YoiMii? ( ˶°ㅁ°) !!
Two pink options showed up, one with YoiMii’s face saying, “You’re falling in love!” and one with “You must be imagining things.”
Anri strutted in the middle, holding a big tablet which displayed the two choices.
The cafeteria fell eerily silent. One could guess the button was voted by the majority.
0% - You’re falling in love!
100% - You must be imagining things. 🏆
>MiiToya : Must be imagining things, huh?
Yukimiya chatted with a forced smile, “You have a pretty active imagination, don’t you, Eita?”
“Just watch, four-eyes. I won’t give up so easily,” Otoya retorted.
> MiiToya : I don’t think so. YoiMii is the fairest man in BLUELOCK X NINTENDO Island!
> MiiToya : I shall pursue him with the most effort! ٩(^ᗜ^ )و ´-

ghiblisagi : yoimii harem speedrun (,,>ヮ<,,)
Baroukyuun : EVERYONE TRIED TO COCKBLOCK THE NINJA LOLL
Otoya was the one to break the stillness of the cafeteria.
“Heh, even the game thinks we look good together,” he said, a shit-eating grin stretched across his face as he leaned back in his chair.
Gone was the smile that Bachira wore, as it was replaced by a tight-lipped scowl.
“Annoying bastard,” Kunigami growled.
Otoya sneered, “I told you I wouldn’t give up.”
Somewhere, the sound of a chair scraping was heeded.
Barou stood up, arms crossed while his jaw tightened, “Let’s vote him off the island.”
“No,” Anri replied almost immediately.
Nanase gleefully cheered, “What about just one Mii?”
“Also no.”
> 🔔 MiiDou has something to tell you!
The camera snapped to Apartment 13, a tiny blonde Mii with pink tips burst through the front door with enough force. MiiDou (Shidou) was rocking a sperm-shaped.. Suit..? How did that even get approved by the game?
Nagi lazily grunted, “Ew, what the ▇▇▇ is he wearing?”
“Ya got a problem, runt?!”
MiiDou looked at all the directions, before suddenly breaking into a full sprint. The camera struggled to keep up as it tore across the island. Without slowing down, he skidded to a stop.
In front of Apartment 11.
Isagi said flatly, “Why is everything happening to my character?”
“You’re just a magnet for chaos, Isagi~” Bachira giggled, leaning his head onto the striker’s shoulder.
The blondie knocked enthusiastically, three times.
The door swung open, YoiMii greeted the man with a warm smile.
> MiiDou : Heya! I’m MiiDou, I just moved in.
> YoiMii : Hello! I’m called YoiMii.
> MiiDou : I have a gift!
A neatly wrapped present appeared in the character’s hands. Everyone curiously glued their eyes on the screen.
YoiMii accepted the gift with both hands, carefully peeling away the wrapping paper.
Lifting the box, he got the item.
> 🔔 Added to inventory : Frying Pan.
“Thank you for the gift, Shidou-san!” Isagi beamed, a smile forming.
Raichi laughed, “What kinda housewarming gift was that?!”
Slamming the table, Shidou marveled with a grin, “That’s my ▇▇▇▇ demon!”
> YoiMii loved it! ₍₍⚞(˶>ᗜ<˶)⚟⁾⁾
The tiny striker’s eyes lit up as he lifted the frying pan in the air, sparkles ignited throughout the game.
> YoiMii : Thank you! I’ll treasure this!
The friendship meter went up with a satisfying ding, making their relationship ‘Good Friends.’
Loud laughter spread around, “Look at mine, little ‘toshi! You were such a ▇▇▇ that even your character is too!”
“Are you picking a fight, ▇▇▇▇?!” Rin hissed, already holding the edge of the table.
“Fight, fight!”
“Kurona, don’t encourage them!”
“Rin-chan deserves that for making Minisagi cry.”
“Don’t provoke the tiger, Bachira.”

Before another notification could appear, a sharp buzz violated the hearing of everyone in the cafeteria.
Anri glanced down at the tablet in her hands before offering the players an apologetic smile. "...Looks like lunch break is over."
A chorus of groans immediately followed, some players slumped in their chairs, not having the energy to train after choosing to focus on the monitor instead of eating.
"What?!" Bachira cried. "But MiiDou just became friends with YoiMiii!"
"I wanna see what happens next!" Reo complained.
Otoya clicked his tongue. "The island literally just started.”
“Training resumes in five minutes. Don’t worry, the game keeps running,” Anri added.
Isagi inquired, “So, they’re doing stuff while we train?”
“Yes, they’ll continue their daily lives! Making friends, solving problems, buying things... the usual.”
"Can they..." Yukimiya adjusted his glasses. “Fall in love while we’re gone?”
Anri hesitated before nodding.
“Pause the ▇▇▇▇ game.”
“Delete the island!”
“DELETE OTOYA!”
“Oye, I thought we were friends, crow!”
“The game cannot be paused,” Ego’s voice cut through the speakers, “Any relationships that form while you’re still training will be recorded.
On the screen, YoiMii had already wandered off toward the shopping district, unintentionally ignorant of what happened. MiiToya was still watching him leave with a pink bubble, MiiDou was happily hopping, and MiiToshi was sitting alone on a bench with a thought bubble over his head.
The game kept moving, without them.
Anri clapped her hands, “Come on, everyone. You can watch them after training in the lounge room.”
Unwillingly, they all stood up one by one. Nearly everyone looked back over their shoulders before leaving the cafeteria.
Once the last player disappeared through the cafeteria doors, the monitor remained on.
The island continued to bustle.
Then, the screen dimmed.

The game's cheerful themed played.
Welcome, Neo Egoist League players!
Somewhere on the island, YoiMii turned around, as if sensing something.
