Befriending



Befriending is a non-lethal method used to eliminate rivals in Yandere Simulator.

Gameplay
On the Schemes menu, the description is: "This scheme will end with your rival being befriended."

The player is able to befriend Kokona Haruka, the current test rival. They must first perform a task for Kokona, which is providing her with a modified uniform using the Sewing Room.

On Monday, Yandere-chan will also have to listen to Kokona's rooftop conversation with Saki Miyu. Yandere-chan must then write a note to meet Kokona on the rooftop, the Storage Rooms, or behind the school. The player has the option to push her off if Kokona is on the rooftop, but if they wait a bit and stand to right right of Kokona, an option called "Offer Help" will appear. When help is offered, Kokona will talk about how her father is in debt due to the Ronshaku Family. The player must kidnap the daughter of the family, Musume Ronshaku.

Musume will be recorded and the video of her begging for help will be sent to her father. Yandere-chan will negotiate with Musume's father about the fate of the daughter. He will agree to free all his clients from debt. Once Kokona's father is free from debt, Kokona will be willing to do any favor. Yandere-chan will ask Kokona to come to her house the next day because she has something important to tell her. Kokona will then meet Yandere-chan in her living room the next day. There will be a cutscene.

The two will talk about what happened. Yandere-chan will ask Kokona to leave Senpai alone, and she will agree. Kokona will then no longer be a rival for Senpai once the cutscene is over. At one point during the scene, Yandere-chan will walk behind Kokona with her hands outstretched. They have the option of betraying Kokona while her back is turned. There are only a couple of seconds for this opportunity.
