《Otome game in a reality》Second route; 4. Otaku friend is necessary
Advertisement
Even the waitress that was adoring Sora moment ago was staring at us, wide eyed.
Why's he acting so different? Who's this kid? Did some devil possess him?
I expected him to be two faced after seeing the word 'sadist' on his information but isn't it a bit too much? Unlike Riku he's not even trying to hide it.
"You can clearly see she's not a bug right?" I asked, not expecting an answer just to warn him.
"Everyone who annoys me is a bug. Why were you hanging out with this bug, onee-san? Instead of waiting for me you decided to hang out with this thing?"
I see...No matter what, he's not going to stop this bug thing. How can he call this cute girl a bug? She's at least a butterfly.
"So you're expecting me to wait in front of your class for whole 4 hours? Plus Sakura is my friend. Calling her a bug is same is calling me a bug. So you better stop that attitude before I get angry"
I'm already angry though.
"I-I would never call onee-san a bug! It's just that this woman is clearly trying to waste your time and doesn't look honest..."
"So you're judging people by their appearance?"
"N-no... She's just..." his expression darkened and struggled to find an answer that won't make me mad.
As expected he's pretty fond of this body's owner. The reason why he was acting cute around me is to win my no, Asuka's favor.
"Just what?" I pushed him further but Sakura stopped me.
"Yoshino, that's enough. See, I'm not angry at all. I think he just has a honest personality.."
"Forget it. I'm going back to my dormitory" I cut her off. Isn't she a bit too naive? He's the last person who should be called 'honest' in this world. Oh, right I've forgotten that devil. He's the second to last person.
"Are you not gonna go back with me?" Sora asked pleadingly with his big black puppy eyes, his dark expression already disappeared. Instead of wasting his time studying here he should go and become an actor.

"No. Since school will start next week I've many things to do" I got up and left the two. Sakura naturally followed me because the atmosphere between Sora and her was heavy.
I didn't even look back as I dragged Sakura's wrist, dragging her towards the exit. Thanks to this two faced bastard my mood is all shitty now. If he wants to pretend to be a nice person with a cute personality he shouldn't have ended that right act in front of me.
A message appeared all of a sudden after we left the cafe. Now I'm certain this number doesn't mean their interest towards me. It rises when something unpleasant thing happens. I think the route will end if this reaches ten, like before. But I'm still not sure if this numbers mean good ending or bad ending.
Blindly following the missions isn't good. And sometimes things will change depending on my choice of words. There's also some options that appear when things don't go well or when I plan to get angry with Riku before.
Anyway I think it'll be fine if I just left that boy alone for now. There's a high chance he might be someone like Riku since the information window says he's a sadist.
"Umm, Yoshino?" A low voice whispered my name which made me realize I was still dragging Sakura along with me.
"Yes?"
"If you're free how about we watch anime together?"
"Anime?"
"Yes. My parents are abroad so I was feeling a bit lonely at home because it's so big. Of course we've a maid and other people who works for my family... but still.."
I took a deep breath. Maybe relaxing a little with a friend won't hurt even though the idea of watching anime feels a bit childish. Nevertheless it's better than returning back to my empty dormitory.
"Okay then. Let's go"

"Sit here and wait for me. I'll bring some snacks and drinks from downstairs"

Sakura left me in a pure pink room. She lives in a very big beautiful fancy mansion but her room is a bit...
Of course it's three or four times bigger than my room at dormitory. But everything such as curtain, bed, wardrobe even the TV was pink. There was many pictures of animes she mentioned all around the walls. And next to her bed, there was many little souvenirs of those anime characters...
I learned what does people who's addicted to anime called after coming here. An otaku. Out of all people I didn't imagine Sakura to be one of them.
"I'm here! Let's sit down and I'll pick my favorite anime!!"
We both sat on the sofa in front of the TV and I waited for Sakura to pick an anime.
I checked Sakura's information out of boredom and curiosity because this room is filled with childish things. I won't be surprised if it's actually her little sister's room.
So it really is her room since it says she's the only child.
We started watching the anime Sakura picked.
After watching few episodes I decided to take back my words I said earlier. Anime isn't childish at all.
I've never watched anime expect from Naruto and it was only few episodes. However this anime is definitely not for kids.
I mean this pink haired mc is literally killing everyone on her way with a smile on her face expect from the ML. It reminded me the feeling that comes when watching a horror movie.
"So do you like it?"
"No. It's so cliche. This guys aren't even charging their phone despite staring at it all day. What's this phone made of anyway?"
"Of course it's battery won't die since the god himself is sending future information to their phone. Do you think something like charging a battery will trouble the god?" Sakura argued back. I've never seen her argue with anyone before so it surprised me a little.
"Then why the hell is she the female lead?" I pointed towards the pink haired girl 'Yuno''s picture that was on the wall and continued. "She's a psycho. She's so sweet in front of the ML but has a very dark side, stalker and kills anyone without hesitation. She's the scariest character of this anime!"
Somehow Yuno sounded similar to Riku's and Sora's behavior.
I didn't have enough time to think about that because the girl, who I thought was sweet and gentle was boiling in anger cuz I badmouthed her favorite character.
"How can you call Yuno, the best yandere character of all time, a psycho! Of course she sometimes acts like one but it's all for love! She even sacrificed herself for him at the end. Yuno's love for Yuki is even deeper than sea okay??"
I'll just ignore the fact that she spoiled me.
More importantly did I hear it wrong? She definitely mentioned that word right?
"Can you repeat that sentence again?"
"Ahh... Deeper than ocean?" She repeated, her anger from earlier fading away within a second at my calm but curious tone. But that wasn't the part I wanted to listen.
"No before that"
"...She acts like a psycho"
"No the first sentence"
"The best yandere character?"
"Yes that one!! Do you know what that word means?" I jumped up on the sofa from my lazy position with a hint of hope in my eyes.
Why didn't I consider asking from other people before? Anyway I can find out about the strange behavior of those capture targets from the very friend the system gave me, without paying a single point to this stingy system.
I sat down, trying to hide my excitement and Sakura started with her explanation with a same excitement in her eyes.
