Synopsis[]
Since their days as students, Tsukasa Jinguuji has had incredible luck with women due to his good looks; Hinata Tachibana has had almost none, overshadowed by Jinguuji's brilliance. However, while Jinguuji has never shown interest in the opposite sex, Tachibana is always desperate for a girlfriend. Despite their polar differences, they continue to be best friends even in their thirties as salarymen.
One night, the two returned home from a mixer where Jinguuji was the center of attention as usual. In his drunken rambles, a frustrated Tachibana inadvertently wishes to become a beautiful girl with irresistible charm. As if the heavens were listening, a goddess suddenly shows herself before Jinguuji and Tachibana, transporting them to another world to defeat the Demon Lord and simultaneously granting Tachibana's desire.
Tachibana—now in the body of an impossibly perfect woman—has become so attractive that even Jinguuji is captivated. Moreover, Tachibana grows aware of Jinguuji's stunning appearance, finally understanding his popularity. Before they fall in love with each other, the duo must complete their mission or risk remaining prisoners to their infatuations forever.

Characters[]
The protagonist of this work. A 32-year-old ordinary male company employee. He is transformed into a beautiful blonde girl according to Hinata's preferences by a goddess and is transported to another world along with Jinguji Tsukasa. He has low life skills, such as not having any food stored at home except for beer and being unable to cook, relying heavily on Tsukasa. However, he has high communication skills, can quickly become friends with anyone, and naturally reaches out to help those around him in need. He has a younger sister, and since his transformation into a beautiful girl, he has been wearing clothes meant for her.
He is a hero chosen by the goddess of love and beauty, with the goddess's emblem hidden at the nape of his neck under his hair. His basic stats are garbage, but his "luck" is high. Although his physical stats are low, his power as a hero is significant, often manifested through Tsukasa, and when thrown into a sub-cockpit as an energy source for a weapon activated by the demon race, he manages to take back control of it. When he reunites with the goddess, he is transformed into a handsome blonde man. Although there is no change in his stats, the women around him become infatuated and develop yandere tendencies.
Additionally, when his body was transformed, he was granted protection and the passive skills "Unparalleled Beauty" and "Trouble Maker" by the goddess, resulting in a constitution that charms almost anyone who sees him indiscriminately. The former skill only slightly favors negotiations (when Tachibana asks for something, most people tend to act in a way that fulfills it), but the latter curse amplifies the desires and wishes of those who are charmed, causing them to go out of control. Therefore, upon visiting the first town, Tsukasa purchases a tiara (300 gold coins) enchanted to avoid attention and wears it to somewhat suppress the effects of the charm (after becoming handsome, he uses a hairpin).

Abilities[]
"Why am I the ideal girl I envisioned!??"
― Hinata Tachibana

Most heroes that are sent by the Gods are given a weapon to defend themselves with, due to Tachibana's inherent inferiority complex when compared to Jinguji as well as her overreliance on her friend. She has instead been granted a 'protector' to act as her weapon. Consequently, Tachibana started at level 1 and cannot gain any statistics beyond Luck on level up.
Job: | Hero | Power: | 1 | Intelligent: | 30 |
Level: | 12 | Speed: | 1 | Luck: | 93 (↓10) >> 83 |
Tachibana is shown to be manipulative, quickly catching on to different ways to utilize her supernatural charm and being all too happy to use it to achieve her goals. This however doesn't always end well due to a mix of her relatively weak stats, fanaticism induced by the charm effect as well as Tachibana's unique skill "Troublemaker" which increases the chance of her falling victim to problematic situations (usually) of her own making.

"What's wrong with treating it like a vacation? Work's been so busy, I haven't gone anywhere. This is a different world, right?
That means no one we know is here and no one's watching!"― Hinata Tachibana & Tsukasa Jinguji
The equipment is a tiara with 300 gold coins that reduces the effects of skills.
- Tiara: A crown-like crystal accessory, with an enchantment that causes others to avoid gazing at her unless they directly interact with her.
- The crown decreases the Luck stats by 10% while equipped.
He is a long-time friend of Hinata Tachibana and is also handsome. Like Hinata, he is transported to another world. He is a perfect superhuman who excels in both academics and sports, capable of learning skills just by watching. His superhuman abilities are a result of his grandmother's education, but because of this, he lacks in many areas, including social interactions. He relies on Hinata, who always cares about him despite feeling isolated, and takes care of Hinata, who has low life skills. However, he has a distrust of women and wishes for Hinata to return to being male quickly. On the other hand, he is also captivated by Hinata, who has transformed into a beautiful girl, and feels a sense of crisis about developing romantic feelings for Hinata (who was originally male), so he usually suppresses those feelings with strong willpower. When he reunites with the goddess, he is transformed into a beautiful girl with black hair. After that, he wears a jacket like a cloak and uses a cloak clasp to avoid attention.
In this world, his role is "the weapon of the hero (Hinata)." He exhibits strong and powerful abilities granted by the goddess's blessing of "ideal body," but these abilities are not fully realized if communication with Hinata is insufficient. Additionally, he has a skill called "Door to Paradise," which allows him to summon the door of Hinata's apartment, enabling him to stay in a room isolated from the outside.

Abilities[]
"Take away my oasis...!!! Do you know that people can't live without water!!!"
― Tsukasa Jinguji
Jinguji showed of also the action of a very informative person by gaining information on a character/person or object by analyzing them. And also because of her ability to manipulate other characters through socializing and bartering.
Job: | Businessman | Power: | 80 | Intelligent: | 90 |
Level: | 70 | Speed: | 72 | Luck: | 90 |
Jinguji can surpass the effect of the curse that it gave to them by the Goddess of Love, and act as a calm and collected person, who stays cool and calm, even under pressure being charmed. Jinguji always seems completely self-possessed and unflappable no matter what is going on around them.
Jinguji was able to instantly identify “the best personal course of action” during combat. Because his instinct, allows him to prediction of trajectory, it is possible to avoid attacks from firearms. Also, he is good at cooking, as Tachibana said "the cooking talent of Jinguji is superb."

"What's wrong with treating it like a vacation? Work's been so busy, I haven't gone anywhere. This is a different world, right?

Because Jinguji a manifestation of love and a weapon for Tachibana, cares about him/her and his will to turn back Tachibana into a man again giving him a boost and manifestation of the goddess of love divine power, giving Jinguji a mark of his hand as a symbol of divination to love. Despite manifesting her divine power, Jinguji still hates the goddess.
