Chapter 5
By the way, I would like to clear up something, in case you readers wonder. I do not harbor any kind of ill will toward this Han. To me, he is but a program. An object to drive the story forward. He does not have a mind of his own, sadly.
Even though people will be fighting over him, I have not seen the bug affecting Han whatsoever. All-day long, he is still sticking to his lines rather than deviating from them. But then again, everything has been mildly alternated only.
It makes me think. What if Rachel, who has the bug, does something completely out of the norm. Would Han still be sticking to his lines? Or would he be affected too?
Frankly, that question may never be answered. When it goes too far from the original script, the game will reset itself back to the first scene. Especially when it comes to Han. He is the main character, after all.
As Han is copying the work of Rachel, both Classmate A and Classmate B stay silent. The childhood friend sits on her chair and twirls her pen out of boredom. In front of Han, the bookworm keeps on enjoying her own book. They do not have any lines right now, and those are also unneeded. Reasons? Please, observe.
Han takes out some papers and puts his pen on them. Suddenly, his pen moves with such a speed that the normal eye can not comprehend. From a couple of blank sheets, lines of words and numbers are filled almost instantly. Strangely, no one pays attention to the occurrence. This is not a power, per se. This is merely a fast-forward. Actions that have little to no impact on the story will be skipped.
Although, I do see a surprised look on Rachel's face. She seems astounded by what just happened. Hah! What a noob!
Still, fret not, my dear Rachel. This will happen a lot throughout our story. After all, the author does not have the time to describe everything happening, right? You will have the time to get used to them. Well, if you have some kind of sentience similar to mine, that is. If not, you will not understand what I say, anyway.
*Stare*
What!? Why do you keep looking at me? Look at him!!
Rachel just suddenly turns to stare straight at me! She is having those beastly pupils again! Instead of just the usual blue color, she has a darker, more sinister overtone. Eyes forward, C! Do not make eye contact with that crazy lady!
I remember those eyes quite vividly! She drove her favorite kitchen knife into Han's chest with them on many past occasions. Oh! And in one of them, she was having sex with him, so her lower half was wide open. Rachel was literally opening up her body and his at the same time. I can still remember hiding in a corner watching the scene. Han was bleeding profusely from his wounds, yet she showed no signs of remorse. Crying and laughing hysterically, Rachel kept fucking him while breaking Han's ribcage with the glimmering metal blade. I will not get into the details. But I have to say, she really liked the Cowgirl position. And a rough one at that, too.
*Crack*
The pen breaks apart due to the childhood friend's excessive force. Rachel's hand is quickly dirtied with ink. What a clumsy person. Now you have to clean your hand with your handkerchief. That is called karma!
*Pft*
I hear laughter! It is very feminine, so definitely not Han's. There are currently only two girls in the classroom, and Rachel is already showing me the face of a killer, so probably not hers. Kurokawa?
*Flip*
Maybe not her. She is too into her books, anyway. Then whose?! ARGHHH!!! Can this day get any weirder?!
*Brrr*
Chills suddenly run down my spine. The air around me suddenly feels freezing. In the corner of my visual field, there is still someone. Ah...Her...I almost forgot she was seeing me as prey...
"Classmate C, you think of many things at once, right?" Rachel says so coldly.
How on Earth am I going to reply to that question?! No! What kind of question is that!?
Just look forward, C. Just look forward. You are a mob. Not even a single word! Your current life depends on this!
"A yes or no would suffice." She keeps pressing me for an answer.
I keep my head straightforward, desperately trying to blend in with the environment. I wonder what kind of face she is making? Probably that of a demon. She is a yandere, after all.
She continues. "Rude!"
I can feel the heavy tone in her sentence. Han? My guy? Isn't this the moment you should be stepping in? Pretty please? I can not keep the same look any longer, bro!
"Done!" The protagonist happily exclaims.
THANK THE LORD!!!
He holds his work up high. The copy has been done flawlessly without a hitch. What is left is to submit these when the class representative comes.
Han turns to his right, smiling brightly. "Here you go, Rachel! Thanks a lot!"
His childhood friend returns with a smile of her own. "No worries, Han. But you owe me one."
That attitude was completely different when she was looking at me. As if she had a personality switch inside her head, Han would never know she had scornful eyes directed at me at one point. That was how she deceived him in all the previous tries until she ended his life.
"Of course, I will do anything for you!" Han replies with that.
"Geez~!" Rachel covers her blushing face. "Why do you always have to put it that way!"
"What do you mean?" The protagonist tilts his head to the side. He seems to not understand why his childhood friend is being embarrassed.
This is just how his character was designed.
Kind, wholesome, but clueless and indecisive. Typical for an eroge male lead. Unless the main male character has those qualities, the guy will not be able to make the harem.
Rachel says nothing but keeps all of her attention on him.
"Han, you innocent child!" Classmate A shakes his head.
Han looks at his best friend with confusion. "You, too? What did I do?!"
His best friend comes close and puts an arm on his neck. With a knowing look, he says. "You still have a long way to go, potato head. This is why you are still not having a girlfriend."
The protagonist sighs. "Who would ever date a guy like me? I am so plain I am technically invisible to the girls. How I wish to have a girlfriend..."
"Are you kidding me?!" His best friend nearly shouts in his ears.
"What?" Once again, confusion appears on Han's face.
A then looks astonished. "You stupid mutt, there are..."
*Stare*
Instantly, Rachel sends her murderous gazes toward Classmate A, stopping him from completing his sentence.
*Gulp*
Classmate A struggles to swallow his saliva. I can see cold sweats forming on his forehead. Poor guy. He knows the truth, but he can not tell his best friend. His circumstances are pretty similar to mine, now that I am thinking about it.
"You know, Han..." Suddenly, the black-haired bookworm in the front speaks up. "There is a saying about finding love in one of the books I have read. Mind if I tell you?"
She is lying. Everything Kurokawa has ever read was about sex and murder only. This person has a very particular taste in violence. You see, her elegance and appearance are only a facade. She likes to be dominated.
A perverted masochist lives deep inside of her soul.
In one of the bad endings, she liked to be tortured so much that she begged Han to **** and kill her. Imagine the case of Rachel I told you about last time but in reverse.
While having her throat asphyxiated by her love, she opened her legs widely and locked his hip into her. At the same time, they both came, twitching their bodies from pleasure. However, when Han regained his reasoning, the white foam had formed all over her lips. Kurokawa's ecstatic face was a purple-blue color.
She was dead.
"Ah!" Her body abruptly jolts. A cute and surprised voice travels through the classroom.
*Rips*
Did I just hear a paper ripping sound???
"As expected from Kurokawa!" Han nods his head. "Intelligent as always." He does not notice anything strange, as expected.
The bookworm closes her book. I swear I just saw a ripped piece of paper.
Hey! Wait a minute?
She has been holding her book upside down all this time??? How was she reading?
So the bug has gotten hold of Kurokawa, as well. This feels like one of those pre-order games...
"Oh, please! You are flattering me too much. The saying is Look no further than your Line of sight." She gently puts her book into the bag at the side of her table.
Han's current Line of sight is directly at Kurokawa. The girl told him he should be aiming for her if any of you guys did not get it.
Good, good. Everything is going according to the story. It should be Rachel's turn to attack.
"Oh! Is that it?"
Yas. Queen. Go for it. Get your man!
FIGHT!!!
