chapter 24

This is wrong. I’m the main character, I’m supposed to be the one to capture Shiran-chan. . .But, it’s strange. Ridiculos, Weird, Odd, Wrong, Strange, Bizarre, Ridiculous, Strange, Strange, Strange, Strange.

Don’t freak out, it just inadvertently upsetted me. Take a deep breath. Yeah. Hahh huu. Ah, imagine Shiran-chan’s smell.

Let’s get back to the main issue. Well, Shiran-chan has always been my issue.

Recently, Shiran-chan and Iris have strangely got closer. And then they just both had to go missing today. . .What happened on the day of the ball? I can’t help but worry. But on the other hand, I refuse to accept that something happened.

I don’t think that moody Iris would do anything anyways.

Since Shiran-chan didn’t appear at the ball. For me, I lost the significance of even going to the ball, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t have to participate. So regardless of my own feelings, I had to be paired with Anemone-chan, who was also in a similar depressed mood.

I didn’t come here to advance my flag with a regular heroine! It would be a problem if I accidentally branched into an intended route, so I would like to avoid any of those situations as possible. The other party, Anemone-chan, had a bitter face as well, so I doubt there is any need to worry.

As soon as the ball ended, I rushed home as fast as possible. If she wasn’t back yet, I may lose my mind. . .

“Hehehe, welcome back.”

“I-I’m back, Shiran-chan. . . What the heck happened? I was worried.”

Thank goodness, I had nothing to worry about. Shiran-chan probably just skipped the troublesome ball, and relaxed at home. The reason Iris wasn’t there was probably as Camellia said, she forgot something back home. She is also a problem child, so I think they just played hooky somewhere else.

“Ehehe, I was just. . .playing hooky with my “bad” friend.”

“Wha. . . .”

That’s not good. I have a bad feeling about this. I can’t help but feel broken.

. . ..Ugyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

I began screaming internally, but it began to calm down little by little.

Just think positively. Since she has returned home, I guess nothing strange developed between them. Besides, Shiran-chan and Iris have always had a close friendship. It wasn’t unheard of to hear of them two skipping class together.

Yes, everything is fine. . .

However, I realized that I have wasted my time by doing these half hearted attacks, I won’t be able to deepen my relationship with her forever.

Her capture difficulty is definitely in the realm of demons.

So if I want to win, I must do my best attacks more than ever. So prepare yourself Shiran-chan. I will definitely have the true ending with you. Fufufufu.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My roommate has been acting weird.

Well from the very beginning, Lily has always been strange. However the weirdness has been different these past days.

First of all, when I wake up, Lily usually sneaks into my bed and sleeps with me. Furthermore, when I get up and look in the mirror, there are many strange red marks on my neck. . .What is she doing while I’m sleeping?

Today, Lily has been holding me all morning, I couldn’t get up from the bed at all.

“So. Hey, Shiran-chan, let’s spend some time alone in our love nest.”

“No, we have class. . .”

“Come on, Shiran-chan. The outside is dangerous. I have to protect you from those one sided beast.”

“U-Ugh. . .”

Lily grasped me tighter, I was almost crushed this morning. . . too tight. Help me!

I pleaded to her, and she reluctantly released me. With a taste of freedom, I quickly got out of my futon and changed into my uniform.

I feel like Lily’s actions have been escalating every single day.

“Oh by the way, I prepared a present for Shiran-chan.”

“A present?”

What on earth could she give me as a gift? I would usually be happy about hearing I was getting a present, but due to her unusual attitude, I can’t help but worry.

“Yeah! Shiran-chan isn’t very fashionable, so I thought a choker would look great on you!”

I’m a bit disappointed it isn’t sweets. I want something sweet.

When I invited Magnollia to go to that cafe. The cheesecake there was to die for.

“Close your eyes, I’ll put it on. Unless you hate my gift. . .”

“Um. . .Right now? I don’t hate it but. . .Okay, I understand.”

“Ufufu. It’s a special one. So don’t open your eyes until I put it on.”

“U-Uh okay. . .”

I have no choice but to close my eyes. After all, I have to agree to an honest request.

Lily went besides me while humming a song. There was a sound of her pulling something out of a bag, immediately after that, I felt her arm getting close to my neck.

Shing*

. . .Huh? What is that rattling? That doesn’t sound like a choker. Somehow, I began to sense a feeling of dread. So I gently opened my eyes to see what it was.

What Lily had was a black leather belt. And the noise of that rattling noise was a metal chain that seemed connected to the leather belt. . .

That isn’t a choker, but a collar!?!

“I’m sorry, but I just remembered I have something to go to.”

“Eh. . ?”

I opened my eyes quickly and went towards the door. I feel in danger, so I just want to evacuate.

“Pardon me.”

“Geeze, Shiran-chan you meanie.”

Lily sharply replied, with an annoyed face. However, I just rushed out of the room.

While walking away, I looked back on the recent actions Lily has taken.

Is this the so-called Yandere?

I knew that there was a special attribute like that made for certains heroines, but. . .does there need to be one on the hero’s side? I would like to talk to the creators of “Flower of Eden”

In general though, such heavy feelings wouldn’t be aimed at a background character like me. Geeze. . .
