"Why am I the ideal girl I envisioned!??"

- ── Hinata Tachibana Hinata Tachibana (橘日向, Tachibana Hinata) is one of two main protagonists (alongside Tsukasa Jinguuji) in the Fantasy Bishoujo Juniku Ojisan to series.

Male Persona
Ahead of his reincarnation, Tachibana was characterized as an "average" Japanese man. His hair length was rather short, trailing just enough to shroud hi eyes. Often seen in attire comprising a formal gray suit, a red necktie, and a pair of light black dress shoes.

Female Persona
Subsequent to reincarnation, Tachibana inherited a form described as a "Beautiful girl that couldn't ever exist." She is a petite and slim individual, standing at approximately in height. She possesses jagged teeth, prismarine eyes and bears a youthful visage.

In her daily excursions, she dons a white dress paired with a sailor-style pink jacket adorned with white highlights, secured by a red ribbon. She wears black fingerless gloves and leggings, accompanied by white knee-high boots. Notably, early in her adventures, she procured a magical golden crown that diverts the attention of others from her.

Profile
Hinata, a beleaguered 32-year-old office worker who was of average stature and weight, shared an intimate friendship with Tsukasa Jinguuji. Following an invitation by Jinguuji to a matrimonial ceremony, the two were transported to another realm by a nude goddess.

However, a trick played by the goddess transformed Tachibana into a peerless beautiful girl. To reclaim his original physique, he had to undertake a journey with his best friend to vanquish the demon king.

Personality
Tachibana's persona is largely easy-going and lively. Besides, he demonstrates compassion and genuine concern for Jinguuji. With prior experience as a salaryman, he possesses excellent persuasive and convincing skills, which he applies effectively with others, especially with Jinguuji. Exhibiting a carefree demeanor, Tachibana is also displayed to have a penchant for cooperation, curiosity, ingenuity, imagination, or visionary aspirations in life and holds an ability to device innovating plans helpful for survival in the New World.

Prologue arc
Tachibana appears for the first time as a female post-reincarnation in the New World. He is seen walking beside and bumping hands with Jinguuji, his childhood best friend. Later, both Jinguuji and Tachibana are seen in the bathroom of a bar, on a mixer date, conversing over their love lives after 8 PM. After the bar, the two of them are heading home, when drunk and upset Tachibana wishes that he were a girl so unbelievably beautiful, that every guy would fall in love with him, then passes out.

Jinguuji attempts to wake Tachibana, when a half-naked brightly colored woman appears, claiming to be the Goddess of Love and Beauty. She kills and reincarnates Tachibana, and transports the two of them into a new world.

After waking up in the New World to Jinguuji's voice, Tachibana feels pain throughout his whole body, with a distinct sore throat. Unaware of the situation at hand, Jinguuji exclaims in distress, which confuses Tachibana. Jinguuji hands him a mirror to which Tachibana reacts positively, asking who the cute girl in the mirror is. Jinguuji reaffirms him that the reflection is him, causing Tachibana to shout out of confusion. Amidst the confusion the Goddess appears, welcoming them to the world as Heroes brought there to defeat the Demon Lord. Being called a hero excites Tachibana, which Jinguuji treats as a scam and confronts the Goddess. This enrages the Goddess causing them to be cursed. As Tachibana and Jinguuji discuss their situation, Jinguuji finds himself in a daze of in fascination, staring at Tachibana, calling his appearance cute.

Tachibana addresses his appearance but expresses the importance of thinking seriously about their situation, when he too finds himself dazed by Jinguuji. The two, individually, realize they have feelings toward one another, but write it off to the curse cast by the goddess.

Skills
Being a typical salaryman in his previous life, Tachibana bore no exceptional abilities.

After the Goddess of Love selected him, Tachibana was awarded a single 'wish', a blessing from the Goddess to assist him in the defeat of the Demon Lord. However, Tachibana's intoxication swayed his wish to become a "girl so beautiful that she couldn't possibly exist and have everyone fawn over her. A short, loli-type with soft blonde hair". As a result of his wish, Tachibana was granted the Skill Peerless Beauty upon reincarnation.

While most heroes chosen by the Gods receive a weapon for self-defense, Tachibana's deep-seated inferiority complex with Jinguuji and their excessive reliance on him led Tachibana to receive a 'protector' to serve as their weapon. As a result, Tachibana initiated their journey at level 1, with the only prospective gain being Luck on level advancement.

Tachibana is portrayed as manipulative, rapidly grasping various methods to exploit her supernatural allure to accomplish her objectives. However, her relatively weak stats, combined with the fanaticism invoked by her charm effect and her unique skill "Troublemaker," which increases her susceptibility to problematic situations (usually self-created), jeopardizes her success.
