Chapter Title: How to Steal the Protagonist's Woman
-----------------------------------------------------------------
By the time I stepped into the wind-element classroom, the students were already seated wherever they wanted, chatting and laughing with each other.
Around Luna's spot, students had already gathered and taken their seats.
'...I'm screwed.'
'Yeah, looks like all the guys have already snatched up spots near Luna. Huh? That punk's not here?'
Surprisingly, Louis was nowhere to be seen.
I scanned the entire classroom, but there was no sign of him.
'That's a relief. No matter how much he chases after a girl's skirts, he wouldn't switch main-element classes for it.'
Even Louis wouldn't waste the school's most important class like that.
He got in as top student; he wouldn't throw away points on something so stupid.
'Tch... Guess I'll just sit over there where no one's at.'
'It's fine. People lose interest in this stuff after a day or two anyway.'
Lonely types like me only get attention once; no one sticks around after that.
I headed to an empty desk in the corner of the classroom and sat down.
Students nearby glanced at me, then started whispering about me.
'Yeah, gossip all you want~'
'Yeah?'
I heard a voice along with the sound of someone sitting next to me.
"Isn't that spot a bit too far in the corner?"
"Huh?"
While I was glancing around, Luna had sat down right beside me.
"Uh... what brings you here?"
"...Can't I sit?"
"No, I mean, it's not that you can't..."
I cheered inwardly.
'Kya~~ Armonia, see those idiots over there?'
The male students who had been sitting around Luna were all flustered, fidgeting restlessly.
She drew all their stares but showed no reaction, just sitting calmly beside me.
That was the moment those guys stood up, desperate to squeeze in next to her.
"Everyone, take your seats."
The professor entered. She was a middle-aged woman who looked about forty.
The guys, now like dogs chasing chickens only to come up empty, scowled as they sat back down.
The best part was that Luna and I were in the back, so we wouldn't draw eyes during class.
'Oh yeah~ I gotta make sure not to miss wind-element class no matter what!'
'Hm... Come to think of it, what exactly does the pheromone effect do?'
'...What the hell, it's like drugs.'
'So Luna right now?'
Luna's status window popped up in front of me.
In the traits section, there was [Sexual Traits], and it expanded.
'Whoa~~'
Armonia was right.
I couldn't stick around Schutra forever.
Whenever I had to step away, even briefly, dosing her with this skill meant she wouldn't stray.
'Now that I think about it, has Luna been cold to Louis lately because of this?'
Thinking back, there had been a disconnect between how those two acted when we first met and now.
It must be baffling from Louis's perspective.
The professor at the podium introduced herself and began the lesson.
"Alright, let's start class."
The middle-aged woman taught clearly, her words sinking right into my ears with her steady tone.
But since it was a main-element class, she spent a lot of time on the finer details.
'Yeah, learning all these little things in depth is tougher than I thought.'
'Eh, perfect scores aren't my goal anyway...'
I glanced sideways, and Luna, who had been looking at me, quickly turned her gaze forward.
Her stealing glances at me felt nice, but I worried it might keep her from focusing on class.
'If her grades drop because of me, that'll be awkward...'
'Of course! Corrupting a talented girl like her is such a thrill! Kekeke.'
Corrupting an ordinary girl means nothing.
Turning a pure, virtuous one into mine—that's why I'm here.
Still, Luna was just at the starting stage; no real issues yet.
The professor's voice rang out.
"Good work everyone today. Make sure to review by next class."
With that, the boring class time finally ended.
As I tidied my desk, I said to Luna,
"You doing okay with the homework?"
"Ah! Yes? Oh... yeah, I'm working hard on it."
Her flustered reaction was adorable.
But I kept a straight face and continued.
"If you get stuck again or can't figure it out, come find me anytime—even on off days."
"Okay... Thanks."
I walked with Luna down the hall back to the regular classroom.
She kept smiling the whole time we were together.
Until the interrupter showed up.
From a distance, that punk Louis was approaching with a scowl.
He immediately wedged himself between us, forcibly separating me from Luna.
"Luna, you okay?"
"Huh? With what?"
"With this guy..."
I left Louis and Luna behind and hurried to the classroom.
"Urgh! Haa..."
I stretched and slumped over my desk.
'Man, studying stuff I never touched back home.'
All classes for the day were done.
As usual, I planned to sit for about five minutes before heading to the clubroom.
I wanted to go with Luna, but not if it meant going with that punk.
Then an unexpected voice came from beside me.
"Let's go together."
"Huh?"
Still slumped over my desk, I turned my head to look at Luna.
"Aren't you going with Louis?"
"...Don't you want to go with me?"
"No, it's not that."
"Louis said he had urgent business today and left first."
"...Alright, let's go."
The situation didn't quite add up.
'That punk wouldn't just leave Luna like this.'
'...Whatever, let's just go.'
Luna and I left the classroom side by side and headed to the clubroom.
We chatted about this and that until we arrived, but no one was there.
"Huh? Professor's not here."
"She usually shows up about ten minutes after we arrive."
"Oh..."
I hadn't realized because she always came late on purpose.
This was the first time we'd arrived with time to spare, so I curiously looked around.
It was a small clubroom, not much to see: the desk we always used, a bookshelf, boxes of experiment supplies, and... the cabinet.
'Ugh, that cabinet gets me excited just looking at it.'
Remembering what happened inside made Sonya pop into my head.
That thing had been a big help for my first time with her.
Thinking of Sonya brought that punk to mind.
'Later, I'll ask Sonya what that punk did.'
'Kekeke... Guess I'll have to unleash the Black Flame Dragon with my left hand then...'
While I was having my chuunibyou comms, Luna spoke up from behind me.
"...What are you doing there?"
"Ah... Nothing. Really."
"..."
Luna's look toward me seemed off.
Thinking back, back when Sonya and I were in the cabinet, Luna had sensed something weird.
Well, it all blew over without issue in the end.
"..."
Luna walked past me and opened the cabinet behind.
She stared blankly inside.
The atmosphere felt strange.
She turned to say something to me—
"...By any chance, in here— Kyaa!"
"Whoa!"
Luna stumbled, grabbed me tightly, and pulled me into the cabinet with her.
Thud!
The door slammed shut, and I asked about the situation.
"W-What's going on!?"
"S-Sorry! I stepped on something and slipped suddenly..."
Thanks, steel ball...
Luna and I were pressed tightly together inside the cabinet, embracing.
I could feel her breasts against my chest, her breath on my neck.
Part of me wanted to stay like this, but I couldn't force anything on her.
It might ruin all the goodwill I'd built up.
"Ah... Never mind then. Let's get out..."
Just as I tried to leave—
(Professor, please hear me out!)
(Sorry, but I've heard enough.)
Louis and Sonya's voices.
"!"
"W-We can't go out now..."
Luna whispered quietly, hugging me tighter and pulling me deeper into the cabinet.
It was cramped anyway, so it didn't change much, but our closeness intensified.
'Ugh! Th-This is bad. If this keeps up...'
'I can't control it!'
As expected, my inner power began to rise slowly.
Tremble tremble. (XX: Skirt penetration!)
But the real problem was Luna.
"Wh-What's th-this from below...?"
"J-Just stay still for a sec... Urgh."
"Th-There... Hnng..."
My dick hardened slowly, rubbing up along her thigh.
If she'd stayed still, it would've gone naturally, but her squirming sent it completely off course.
In this tight space...
"Hnng... Why are you... S-Stop... Hnng..."
"I-It's not on purpose..."
My dick pierced through her skirt and slipped right between her crotch.
And it showed no signs of going down.
It just kept swelling, stimulating her pussy nonstop.
'I'm going crazy!'
'Agh! I'm losing it!'
I couldn't leave, but staying like this was impossible.
Still, I had to decide now.
Unlike with Sonya, Luna hadn't chosen this.
I figured it was better to take the hit from Sonya and get out for Luna's sake.
"I'll just go out alone and close the cabinet. Urgh..."
"I-It's fine. Hnng... It's okay, so just... stay... Haah..."
As I tried to pull away, Luna hugged me tight, shoving my cock firmly between her legs.
I couldn't feel her skin directly, but knowing my dick was free between her thighs made it impossible to calm my excitement.
Louis and Sonya's voices came from outside.
(...Looks like those two haven't arrived yet.)
(Haa... Professor Sonya, that's not what I meant that day.)
(What do you mean 'not'? How am I supposed to accept a student who slanders a classmate from the same class like that?)
'Slanders? What the hell?'
'Yeah, just a bit more... I'm going nuts!'
My cock between her legs twitched against my will, relentlessly teasing her pussy.
Luna moaned every time it moved.
"Hnng... Hnng... Haa... Haah..."
"S-Sorry... Not on purpose..."
"I-It's... okay. Hnng..."
The one regret was not seeing Luna's face right now.
I could feel her resting her chin on my shoulder, desperately holding back her moans.
Her hot breath tickled my neck.
Which made me react down there.
Which aroused her more.
Is this the principle of perpetual motion...?
As Luna and I swam in a sea of arousal, the punk's voice came from outside.
(I-I just thought since that guy's a commoner, it might tarnish Professor Sonya's reputation...)
(A commoner? Louis.)
(...Yes.)
(Do commoners exist in this school?)
(...)
Louis fell silent. Sonya asked again.
(Let me ask once more. Do commoners exist in this school?)
(...No. Only professors and students.)
(Good thing. I was worried you'd forgotten the basics as a student.)
It didn't sound like genuine worry.
It was sarcastic.
Sonya spoke in a heated tone unlike her usual self.
(And! One more warning. As a teacher—not a woman—if you ever grope me like that again, I won't let it slide.)
(Gr-Grope!?)
This bastard must've done something stupid.
'This crazy fucker...'
'...'
If Luna weren't here, I'd have burst out already, but I held back.
(Hugging a woman without consent—if that's not groping! ...)
(...Professor?)
(...)
Sonya, who had been sharply scolding Louis, suddenly went quiet.
'What?'
Click... click... click...
While communicating with Armonia, Sonya's heels echoed through the clubroom.
The slow pacing of her heels and her voice followed.
(Those two students... are later than I thought...)
"..."
"..."
Luna and I hugged even tighter, not daring to breathe.
We were straight out of an eroge scene.
But then...
Click... click............
Sonya's footsteps stopped, and soon after, an icy voice came from right outside the cabinet door.
(Or...)
(...maybe they've already arrived.)
The moment the eroge turned into a horror game.
