1. The Crazy Yandere Heroine
1. The Crazy Yandere Heroine
Ah, an unfamiliar ceiling.
A pure white ceiling, with a strangely antique chandelier hanging from it. Just by looking at it, I knew it wasn't the ceiling of my studio apartment.
...What the hell is this.
I tried to sit up, but the texture of the blanket brushing against my fingertips felt strange. It was some kind of high-quality fabric.
I sat up with a jolt and looked around. The room itself was incredibly luxurious, but it was structured like a dormitory room with only a bed and a desk. It was a bit spacious, though.
...Wait a second, don't tell me.
Something crossed my mind, so I rubbed my face with my palms. The sensation of my hands felt unfamiliar, too. They were definitely more delicate than my original hands, and the fingers were long.
"...Haa, game possession, you again? Aren't you tired of this?"
I let out a sigh without even realizing it.
No, but seriously, this is going too far.
I didn't even badmouth the game out loud, nor did I leave a long-winded feedback review.
I even missed the sale period and bought it at full price... If you were going to possess someone, you should've picked the kids who bought it half-off and then refunded it.
What did I do to deserve being possessed like this?
...Alright, let's organize this in order.
Until yesterday, I was definitely playing a dating sim game set in an academy. There were five heroines in total. Starting with the platinum-blonde main heroine, there was a whole lineup of heroines with strong personalities, and among them, the childhood friend heroine, Lucia Lowen, was a gloomy yandere.
A yandere. That's not my type at all. And gloomy is even less my type. Aren't female characters supposed to be more energetic and lovely?
So, I boldly skipped her route, finished the endings for the other four, and turned off the game. It wasn't even like I finished it completely; it was just a matter of personal preference. Is that really something that warrants coming back as a possession?
"...... "
For starters, there was a translucent window floating in front of my eyes.
I hadn't seen it properly because I was so distracted, but looking closely, it was something like a status window.
[Additional Challenge: True Ending]
See the endings of all heroines
4 / 5
...Ah.
I understood immediately. It meant I had to finish the ending for that yandere heroine I hadn't seen.
The problem is, it doesn't say what happens if I fail to see the ending.
This is a way to make people really anxious.
...In the game, the screen just goes black and it's over, but this is my real body right now. If I fail, what, do I die? Or is there something worse?
Cold sweat slowly trickled down my back.
For now, it was certain that this body was the game's protagonist, Edmon Blake.
Edmon's face in the mirror, which I saw while preparing to leave the dormitory room, was actually quite handsome.
He was tall with broad shoulders, enough to make me think, 'Is this why he's a dating sim protagonist?'
And the timeline was the start of the game. The first day of school at the academy.
Strangely, I felt like I already knew exactly where to go.
Not just the paths, but the entire life story of Edmon Blake was in my head.
Thanks to that, my body moved on its own, as if I had lived here all along.
The place I naturally arrived at was the lecture hall on the first floor of the Magic Department building, where the first class of the day was held.
...For now, let's organize the situation.
I don't know the guide to Lucia's route, but it was certain that I had to make contact with that Lucia.
If my memory serves me right, unlike the other heroines with tricky conditions, I saw that Lucia just needed to be met a few times.
So, I'll go find Lucia after class.
I could skip class to go, but I don't want to take unnecessary risks.
I entered the lecture hall and sat down. It seemed the professor hadn't arrived yet, and students who had already become friends were gathered in small groups, chatting.
And a thought crossed my mind: if she's a yandere, isn't she actually easy to woo? If I just don't look at other heroines, isn't a yandere basically a megadere?
While I was sitting there blankly waiting with that thought, I suddenly felt someone slide into the seat next to me.
"Is this seat taken?"
The moment I turned my head, my breath hitched.
Long platinum-blonde hair sparkled in the sunlight coming from the window. Blue eyes were smiling at me, and even though she was wearing a white shirt with the academy uniform jacket over it, the presence of her chest standing out above it was significant.
Estel Lorencia.
One of the heroines of this game and the title heroine. I knew she would appear at this timing from the first class.
Even so, seeing her in person made me nervous and my heart pound on its own.
...Even though I already knew what she looked like, her appearance was shocking.
Seeing her in person was on a completely different level than looking at the illustration on the screen. It's insane, seriously.
"Oh? It's not taken, right? Great!"
Estel must have taken my silence as a yes, as she sat right down next to me.
"I'm Estel. Estel Lorencia. Do you know my family? What's your name? Where are you from?"
"I, I'm Edmon Blake."
She kept asking things in a cute, chirpy voice, but none of the words actually registered in my ears.
I was just staring intently at her profile.
The corners of her mouth that lifted slightly whenever she spoke, or her long eyelashes that stood out whenever she smiled with her eyes.
Even the front of her jacket that opened whenever her body swayed, and the wicked things beneath it.
Estel Lorencia was a count's daughter, and the setting was that she entered this academy because she had magical talent.
She had escaped the stifling life of a noble lady and was currently completely excited.
So, she's the kind of heroine who opens up to the protagonist, her first friend at the academy, develops affection, and eventually ends up dating him.
Well-behaved, kind, cute, and she has a growth narrative where she overcomes the scars of her family's oppression with the protagonist.
...She's too good. It's not for nothing that she's called the main heroine.
"So, sitting together in the first class like this is fate! Edmon, let's be friends!"
Estel was looking at me with eyes full of anticipation.
"......."
At that moment, I snapped back to reality.
This isn't the time for this.
This wasn't the time to be flirting with this big-chested title heroine. I was in a position where I had to see the ending with Lucia.
With Lucia, who is known as a yandere heroine.
But well, a yandere wouldn't be a yandere for no reason. In this situation, if I get close to another heroine and get spotted by Lucia...
I'd definitely get stabbed in the stomach, for sure. Just thinking about it sends chills down my spine.
So I tried hard to stiffen my expression into a deadpan, and while ignoring Estel who kept trying to talk to me, I just stared straight ahead.
"Uh...? Hey Edmon, are you listening to me?"
"......."
"Hmm...?"
"Class is starting. Estel, let's just listen to the lecture."
Estel's voice became increasingly flustered, but I tried hard to pretend I didn't hear her. Just in time, the professor entered the lecture hall, and the conversation naturally cut off.
I'm really sorry, but my life is on the line right now.
Throughout the class, I could feel Estel glancing over at me several times, but I tried hard to ignore it and just glared at the professor.
...Though I couldn't help but let my eyes wander to those breasts that Estel kept resting on the lecture desk.
The class was nothing special.
Perhaps because of the setting that Edmon originally had a talent for magic, all the pedantic content about mana and flow was easily understood.
As soon as the class ended, I packed my textbook and jumped up from my seat.
"Hey, wait a second! Edmon, let's go together!"
I heard Estel calling me from behind, but I walked out of the lecture hall without even looking back.
It was a pity that I had to ignore the luxury of such a beautiful girl calling for me and chasing after me, but there was no other way.
I felt sorry, but since Estel is such a kind and broad-minded character, she'll understand.
My destination was the Astrology Department building where Lucia, who was in the Astrology Department, would be. It was the building right next to the Magic Department, so fortunately, it didn't take long.
It seemed the Astrology Department's class had just ended too, as students were pouring out in droves.
Among them, I could find Lucia without difficulty.
Long, shaggy black hair covered half her face, and she had a pale complexion with faint dark circles, along with a massive chest that was even more assertive than Estel's.
Certainly, she was exactly like the illustration, so she was easy to recognize at a glance.
"Lucia! Lucia Lowen!! That's you, right?"
I approached her, waving my hand in delight.
To be precise, I naturally thought she would welcome me. Because she's in the childhood friend position. In the game, too, it says we've known each other since we were young.
Lucia glanced at me, and her expression stiffened subtly. There was no life in her eyes, which looked like they had been dotted with black ink.
"...Oh, hi. Edmon. Long time no see."
Her voice was bitter. It felt like she was just forcing herself to greet me out of courtesy.
It was so different from the reaction I expected that my mind went blank for a moment. Shouldn't she be welcoming me a bit more, or be happy?
"Lucia, it's really been a long time. I didn't know I'd meet you here again like this."
"Mm-hmm...."
"You've changed a lot, I almost didn't recognize you, but I knew it was you even from afar."
"...Mm-hmm, you too."
"......."
With a reaction like that, I have nothing more to say.
Even behind me.
"Hey, look at him. He tried to talk to her and got completely ignored?"
"Wow, if it were me, I would've run away immediately. That must be so embarrassing."
"He's not from our department, right? He's crazy, hahaha."
Even kids laughing at me like this.
...To think I came to meet someone like this, leaving behind Estel who smiled at me and talked to me so sociably.
"Yeah, see you next time."
I felt a surge of irritation and was about to turn back, when.
"......."
Then, the status window in front of my eyes flickered again.
Haa, seriously.
"Hey, Lucia. It's been a while, so let's have lunch together. You don't have anyone to eat with, right?"
I approached Lucia again and spoke to her with a feigned serious expression, though in reality, I was suppressing my anger.
"...Whatever."
Lucia answered while mumbling.
