Pola Jitu 99

「宿主、あなたはすでに伊賀修司（いが しゅうじ）の攻略を8回挑戦していました。現在の好感度は99%。これまでで最高の数値です。 もう一度攻略すれば、成功の確率は極めて高いと予測されます！ 9回目の攻略を選びますか？それとも、リスクを取って攻略対象を変更しますか？」 システムの声を聞きながら、白鳥暖子（しらとり あつこ）はこれまでの8度の攻略を思い出した。 どんな身分で近づいても、修司には毎回、正体を見破られてきた。 最初は地震の中、彼を助けて命を落とした。 そのときは、ほんの少しだけど、彼も悲しんでくれた。 でも、彼が暖子が「復活」して再び自分に近づいてくるのを知ってからは、少しずつ彼女を人間として見なさなくなった。 7回目の死は、別荘の火事だった。 彼は、本命の飼い犬を助けに行けと命じた。 炎に焼かれて死んだあの痛みは、今でも思い出すだけで体が震える。 目を閉じて、かすれた声で暖子は答える。 「はい、変更する」 「了解しました。9回目の転生後、新たな攻略対象に変更します」 ……

I, Ginny Tremaine, have a written agreement in my mate contract with Tyler Kingsley, the chairman of the Werewolf Council. As long as I proposed to him 99 times first, he promised to personally show up at the Office of Werewolf Mate Affairs on the 100th time and complete our marking ceremony. However, Tyler doesn't show up on the promised day and instead appears on the main stage of the Silvernight Music Festival with his lover, Vivian Lowe. In the livestream watched by the entire pack, he leans down and kisses her so intimately that it's practically a declaration of ownership. The social media networks instantly erupt with excitement. "#ChairmanOfTheWerewolfCouncilOfficiallyRevealsMate." "Chairman of the Werewolf Council caught kissing his lover and showing PDA." At the same time, I become a trending search for standing in front of the Mate Affairs office for the 100th time. Everyone speculates about the identity of the mystery man who never showed up and wonders if I will try for a 101st proposal. Tyler, likely feeling guilty, promises me the next day, "Next time, I promise I'll be there on time." He arrives in a crisp suit with papers in hand, standing outside the Mate Affairs office. But all he receives is a short message from me, saying, "Alpha Tyler, there won't be a 101st proposal. We're truly over."

久遠和人（くおん かずと）と篠原佳凜（しのはら かりん）は、幼い頃から犬猿の仲だった。 なのに運命のいたずらか、あの年、名家同士の政略結婚の適齢者は、この二人しか残っていなかった。 「俺は死んでも、お前なんかと結婚しない」和人は堂々とそう宣言した。 すると佳凜は、にやりと笑って言い放った。「へぇ、じゃあ私、絶対にあなたと結婚するわ。さっさと死んでちょうだい」 そして迎えた結婚式当日。 和人は、なんと式場に数十羽のニワトリを放ち、佳凜に恥をかかせようとした。 けれど佳凜は無表情のまま、その中の一羽をつかみ上げて、さらりと「ねぇ、あなた」と呼びかける。 その瞬間、和人は、いたずら心がすっと引いていった。 彼女がどうしても自分と結婚しようとする姿を見て、和人は嘲るように言った。 「お前、後悔するぞ」 結婚して三年。佳凜は、これで99回目、和人の不倫現場を押さえた。 そのとき、初めて本当に理解した。 和人の言う「後悔」とは、いったい何だったのかを。

For three years of marriage, Jeanette Schafer had devoted herself completely to caring for Skyler Weisberg, who was confined to a wheelchair. Yet, Skyler harbored nothing but contempt for her. He hated her touch so much that the last time she accidentally brushed against his legs, he locked her out of their home for 99 days. The day finally came when Skyler's legs had healed enough for him to stand again. Yet, the first thing he did was to drive straight to the airport to pick up his first love. Years of selfless devotion and tender care meant nothing compared to his 'the one that got away'. Swallowing the heartbreak, Jeanette made a call. She whispered, "The contract is fulfilled. I'm filing for divorce." Only after she walked away did Skyler realize what he had lost. But by then, it was already too late.

【確認します。宿主様は好感度99%の全てを、小林恵美（こばやし めぐみ）に譲渡しますか？】 【好感度がゼロになり次第、宿主様はミッション失敗と見なされ、存在を完全に抹消されます……】 遠野明日奈（とおの あすな）は、魂の抜けたような声で、力なく「ええ」とだけ答えた。 江口洋介（えぐち ようすけ）と江口友沢（えぐち ともざわ）が、あれほどまでに恵美を慈しみ、彼女のためならば明日奈を傷つけることさえ厭わないというのなら、いっそ自分が恵美のミッション達成を手伝い、彼女が永遠にこの世界に留まれるようにしてあげよう、と。

I was a genius alchemist, but my mate, Alpha Clark, engineered my failure 99 times, shattering my reputation. He siphoned my very soul 99 times to gift it to another she-wolf, Layla, molding her into the Alchemy Master I was meant to be. He claimed Layla was his savior, that he owed her his life. It wasn't until I uncovered his betrayal and severed our bond that he learned the truth: I was the one who had saved him. Those scars on my back—the ones he scorned? They were the price I paid for his life. After I walked away, he knelt for 99 days, begging for me to return. But some betrayals can never be forgiven.

I've been mated to Alpha Damon for five years. I helped him build a business empire, but he kept delaying our marking ceremony 99 times. Right before the ceremony was supposed to happen, he told me the pack’s resources were tight. He demanded I stop the expansion of the Alpha’s manor and scrapped the nursery I’d designed for our future pups. Then he turned around and bought a thirty-million-dollar penthouse for Isabella, a new omega in our pack. When Isabella and I were in a car crash at the same time, he didn't even glance my way. He ran straight to her. He wrapped her in his Alpha scent, holding her tight. Their scents mingling was like a knife to my heart. In the pack council hall, in front of all the Elders, I looked at him with ice in my eyes. "I, Elena, reject you, Damon, as my mate." Through the gut-wrenching pain of the mate bond snapping, I sent a message to the Alpha of another pack. "I rejected him. I'll be at your Crescent Moon Pack tomorrow."

Finnegan Churchill grabs me by the hair and drags me to a staircase with 99 steps. He orders me to crawl my way up as an apology to his true love, Colette Brooke. At the same time, I'm supposed to pray for her. He has no idea I'm the one who cared for him during the three years he was blind.

Once upon a time, Leonard truly loved me. In order to establish a Mate Bond with me, he confessed 99 times. On the 99th time, I was finally moved. On the day of our Marking Ceremony, I gave him 99 forgiveness coupons. I promised him that I would forgive him 99 times. As long as he still had coupons left over, I would forgive him and stay with him no matter what he did. We were bonded for six years. In the first five years of our Mate Bond, I rarely ever used the forgiveness coupons. Since his childhood friend Judy returned, however, I started burning through the coupons. When I tore up the 98th coupon, Leonard noticed that I had changed. I no longer made a fuss or fought him over Judy. I simply asked him calmly, “If you go to Judy, can I use up one forgiveness coupon?” Leonard paused and then recovered his cool. “Sure. I only used up slightly over half, so use another if you want.” I stayed silent as he left the house. As it turned out, he had no idea he had just lost his 98th coupon. He only had one chance left. After that, I would leave him forever.

In my last international car racing championship, the front tire of my car suddenly burst, causing the car to roll over. The cars behind me collided with me one by one. After 99 times, I was unrecognizable from the impacts. Just as I reached out to my boyfriend for help by instinct, he kicked me away, my body covered in blood and flesh. “Don't dirty my newly tailored clothes today.” He turned around, picked up the champion who had just crossed the finish line, and spun her around, smiling and saying: “Sharon, only the championship trophy is worthy of you. I will remove all obstacles for you.” Blood stained my entire body. Watching the two of them embrace as the sun set, I felt numb and desperate. What he didn't know was that among these red stains was the child who had just come into this world. At that moment, I gave up on continuing to love him.
