Chapter 514
Memories that were locked, hidden, and buried deep in her mind resurfaced . It started from the beginning when Churu congratulated her on her death day as if it was a day to celebrate, and began spouting nonsense . Her memories with Churu, from the start until the day she vanished right in front of her came fresh, as if everything happened just yesterday .
Meanwhile, Churu was equally surprised because not just Ethan but also Lexi could see her! She blinked her eyes many times as she was as confused as them due to this unexpected turn .
If she remembered correctly, only the system’s host could see her . Hence, Churu was slightly sad that Lexi wouldn’t be able to see her even though she would stay on her side for a long time .
However, who would have thought that Lexi could still see her?
After a second, Lexi and Ethan Lu slowly turned to look at each other, both were surprised that they looked at the same direction at the same time .
‘Was it a coincidence?’ They wondered inside their mind .
“Hello~?” Churu, still in doubt despite that she made eye contact with Lexi, spoke to get their attention .
Just as expected, Lexi and Ethan Lu wordlessly turned their heads back to her, and then the two looked at each other again as shock slowly crept out from their faces .
“You can see her?!” Lexi and Ethan Lu asked in unison .
When Ethan Lu heard the same question that escaped from Lexi’s mouth, he gasped in disbelief . On the other hand, Lexi blinked her eyes as she absorbed this event in her mind .
“Lexi~!! I missed you~!!” As the two were processing that their other half’s could see this perverted dumpling, Churu was beyond glad to know that Lexi could still see her .

Hence, without further ado, she flew towards Lexi, throwing herself to Lexi as she landed on her cheeks and rubbed her cheeks against Lexi’s .
“What the . . . ” Appalled that Churu and Lexi seemed to know each other, Ethan Lu was rendered speechless .
Does his wife have a third eye all this time? And he didn’t know? Wow, Lexi was truly amazing that he would never get tired exploring and discovering secrets that lies on her .

“So, you are saying that Ethan has a system?” Lexi clarified as she needed to know if everything that was laid on the table was true .
“Yes . . . ” In unison, Ethan Lu and Churu nodded their head . Ethan reclining on the long couch, Lexi on the single-seater sofa, while Churu in the middle of the small round table .
Earlier, though they were shocked that both husband and wife could see Churu, they decided to talk privately . After all, this matter shouldn’t be discussed in the open, nor it was okay for it to be talked about when other people were around — that includes their assistants .
Therefore, Lexi and Ethan Lu headed straight to the Grand Hotel where only the three of them could talk . No extra ears or eyes . Just them .
“And you also had a system called, what is it again?” After Lexi, it was Ethan Lu’s turn to ask a question and then turned to Churu who diligently answered without any delay .
“Otome Love System — I mentioned it when I explained Battle of Life to you . ” Churu answered in a matter of fact tone . With that, Ethan Lu recalled that Churu did mention another system’s name that she used to compare with his .
“Otome love . . . what’s that for?” Ethan Lu knitted his brows as he somehow got the gist of the system was all about: about love of course .

However, he didn’t want to assume as this whole fiasco was too unpredictable that it was not a good idea to just assume . He needed to hear it straight from Lexi’s mouth .
Lexi and Churu cast each other a glance before Lexi meekly smiled . Well, since now that Ethan could see Churu, she could explain it to him . Although she was afraid that he might feel a little betrayed after hearing the whole story .
“Well, remember when I committed suicide? I died, but didn’t . “
“What?!” Surprised, Ethan Lu gasped . Does that mean Lexi was what? A beautiful and intellectual zombie? An undead?!
“I know! But, that’s when I received the system and her, as the manual . To make things short, instead of completely dying, I didn’t . ” Lexi jerked her chin to Churu’s direction as she contemplated the most precise and shortest explanation . “Unlike Battle of Life, Otome Love System has different tasks to achieve every level— everything, to make you fall for me . ” Slowly, Lexi raised her eyes to meet his speechless countenance .
She played with her fingers because the more she spoke the truth, the more her heart raced . She loves Ethan, yes . However, just the thought that he had been honest to her and yet, Lexi didn’t even mention this to him guilt her .
“It has these points, perks, and ridiculous task but now that I think about it, all task was for you and me to get closer . . . ” Lexi continued to explain every detail of the so-called system and everything she remembered .
Although she was hesitant, Lexi trusted him and even if he might get mad, she knew he would eventually understand . Therefore, Lexi didn’t leave anything behind as she came clean .
“So, that’s the Otome Love System . I laughed at it at first but, I am thankful for it because it led me to you . ” After some time, Lexi finally finished explaining . “No, it didn’t lead me to you but actually, it pushed me to you . It was the type of push that I will always be thankful for . “
A bitter smile formed on her lips as she looked at him, Ethan hanging his head low . She didn’t know what he was thinking nor she was seeing his expression . But one thing was for sure, he was displeased or so Lexi thought .
“Oy, are you mad?” Churu, who remained silent and let Lexi take the floor, tilted her head to the side as she was slightly worried .
“Why . . . ” Slowly, Ethan Lu raised his head as he whispered . Both Lexi and Churu gulped a mouthful of saliva . “Why didn’t I have the same system? I want to have the same system where I can see how many allure points I gained and watch my wife fall for me!” Frustrated to the core, Ethan Lu grumbled in distress .

The Simulacrum
"He who fights with harem tropes should see to it that he himself does not become a harem protagonist. And if you gaze for long into a narrative, the narrative gazes also into you." --- Friedrich Nietzsche (probably?) How would you react if one day you woke up inside an environment running on tropes and clichés? For allegedly average high-schooler Leonard Dunning, this question became quite relevant when one day he woke up in a pristine city on a strange island in the middle of the Atlantic, without any memories, surrounded by classmates who are barely more than characterless placeholders, and with a classic indecisive harem protagonist and his impossibly beautiful love interests for friends. That would be hard to deal with already, yet his investigation into the tropes governing the world, trying to avoid harem shenanigans, and his odd blend of outside-context knowledge, unique abilities, and a penchant for causing trouble wherever he goes ends up dragging him into the center of the action anyway. Disclaimer: This is a tongue-in-cheek, slice of life romantic comedy, with occasional sprinkles of combat and mystery to spice things up. Please do not expect a straight up deconstruction beyond some in-universe meta-commentary by the characters.
