《Otome game in a reality》Third route; 11. 'Cats' and mouse
Advertisement
Luck; Success of failure apparently brought by chance rather than through one's own actions.
So the reason why I'm thinking about this word's meaning is because I need it right now so so much.
"Hey Asuka Yoshino, stop right there!"
"Damn! How's she so fast?"
"Did you call Katsuragi-san?"
"He isn't picking up his phone so I just texted him"
"We've to catch her before he gets angry"
"I agree"
Hearing the chat of the two idiots chasing after me I ran even faster. If I include the time I ran to come here I've been running about 40 minutes nonstop now.
I have a feeling that Saturday is my bad day. Every unfortunate thing happened to me was always on Saturday.
But right now I don't have a time to blame the day for all of this unfortunate events. I just have to run forward to find a more crowded place. However there wasn't a single living being around these streets expect from birds. Why did I ran into a secluded place like this? And what the hell were they doing here?
The worse news is Usato isn't picking up his phone. I've to deal with these two strong teenagers by myself.
Do I have to use violence and threaten the damn creator of this world for points like a beggar again? Anyway I'm too tired to even win against a healthy male teenager let alone two of them at that. Additionally this method won't work since Sakura's 'yandere' point are much higher.
So I've no one to rely on right now. The area I'm running around is something like a mountain filled with houses. It was slippery as hell because of the cold weather and running through these streets was same as climbing a mountain.
After reaching the top of it I decided to use a faster way.
"Wait, what's she doing? Why's she kicking of the trash cans now?"

"Because I'm going to use it's cap to go skiing on this beautiful day b*tches"
I don't know why I answered like that and even sweared but it felt refreshing to see their dumb faces. Maybe because of that wonderful feeling I didn't notice how crazy my idea was.
"H-Holy shit! It's not stopping... how do I stop this!!?"
The terror I felt that time was worse than traumatic sight I witnessed in the second route. The wind was preventing me from seeing things fully and it's speed become faster and faster.
Imagine, a girl sitting on a trash can and screaming all over the street while gliding down? If it wasn't an empty street I'd be dead from embarrassment right now.
After two minutes of gliding process it finally stopped. I can still see those two jerks running after whilst trying their best not to slip on the ground and 'follow after me' by their butts. If that happens I'll consider this as my lucky day regardless of all of this shity things happening to me.
Of course needless to say the luck wasn't with me and those two didn't fall. Realizing the bitter truth I continued to run even though I'm ready to collapse at any minute from exhaustion. It's my first time sweating this much outside during winter.
I really want to eat an ice cream. Thinking back those days when Sakura was a normal rich girl was nice. Now she might put poison in my ice cream if I ever ask for her to buy me one.
Because I was many steps ahead of them they were out of my vision. Using that wonderful chance I turned around the corner and hide behind another big trash can. Seriously why's there so many trash cans here when there's no one living here?
I can hear the footsteps and quickly closed my mouth to stop my breathing noises. Now I understand why all of those characters in a horror movie, cover their mouth when they hide from the killer, ghost or whatever. When you're hiding even your breathing sound and heartbeat feel loud. Plus I can't run anywhere if they find me, cuz m it's the end of the street.

"Where did she go?"
"I don't care just find her somehow. You go to the right and I.."
[Du-duud...du-duud]
Their conversation was interrupted by the incoming message sounds of my phone. Stupid Usato just happens to text right now!
Seriously what's wrong with my luck today?
"Ho, Look what we have here.."
"Senpai will be very happy if we give her to him"
I quickly stood up and tried to run fast them but was pushed back by one of them instead. I was like a mouse, cornered by some street cats. And for some reason they have an unpleasant appearance that's suited for a gangsters. Why're they the only ugly ones when the whole school students are pretty?
"Now you'll quietly follow us to our place or face the consequences.."
I decided to use the same trick I used before in the first route.
A huge fake smile appeared on my face as I screamed as loud as I can towards the empty space behind them.
"Usato! You're finally here!"
"W-what? Usato?"
The two boys stupidly turned around. Without losing any single second I ran fast them as quick as I can. They almost looked scared for a moment when I mentioned Usato.
Anyway this trick always works in any situation thanks to my acting skills. I should really try becoming an actress if I go back to my world.
"Shit! Why can't she just stop running? Doesn't she have a limit in her stamina?"
One of the two guys sweared after me as I run as fast as I can, our distance getting bigger and bigger every second. I was really reaching my limit and to make it worse I tripped on something.
"Haha, now you're not gonna leave us"
"I swear I'll make you pay for running all the time like a f*cking rat"
I didn't even have a strengh to get up as one of the boys grabbed my hair harshly. But my mind was somewhere else, no, on someone else.
The stylish brown hair and pale white face. Currently there was a big frown on his face as he walked towards us.
"Katsu...Katsuragi?"
I stuttered out his name but the two boys whose backs were facing Katsuragi didn't even bother to turn around. A sharp pain on my cheek blinded my vision for a moment.
I can't believe I was slapped by another stupid brat again.
"Don't think we'll fall into the same trick again. There's no way that guy will come here.."
"Ho.. you're now referring to me as 'that guy' behind my back?"
The cold voice with a small mockery in it cut off the boy's threatening sentence. I suddenly remembered my first impression of Katsuragi from the first route.
He looked like a cheerful, pretty and normal boy. But that 'normal' looking boy is making these two boys shaking in front of him just by staring.
"S-s-senpai...I was just..."
"F*ck off before I change my mind"
"Y-yes. Let's go"
"Hey, wait for me!"
Just like that?
I feel sorry for myself who escaped from these two cowards for over forty minutes.
However now I feel like it's better for me to face those two idiots instead of this guy looking down on me like I'm some sort of trash.
"G-good afternoon, Katsuragi-san.. and good bye"
Gaining a little bit strength in my legs, I got up and tried to leave until I feel my wrist being gripped by Katsuragi, very tight that I can't even move an inch.
"So you're going to escape again?"

8 197The Heroic Tales of Silas Horne
In the year 1858, the system came to the world. It brought with it beings from fantasy and mythology the likes of which the world had never seen before. In the American frontier, a place already known for being a dog eat dog world the system gave bandits the capacity for untold violence, not to mention monsters and system loving fanatics hell-bent on the murder of the innocent. But are they truly so innocent? No one knows what the system is or why it came, they do know one thing though. That the world post system isn't a place for a hero. Luckily for the world, U.S Marshall Silas Horne is no such man. ----- AN: This story is a litRPG inspired by "Randidly Ghosthound" and "The New World" but after reading many such stories and finding them to be a tad samey I decided to write this in a new setting, the Wild West. Also, my release schedule is chaotic, expect at least one 1000 word chapter each day but probably like two more will also be released.
8 71Medley of Fates Worse than Death
Rick wakes up in a world unknown to him. He doesn't know what exactly happened or why he is there, he just feels he's not from that world as if he had Dissociative amnesia. Soon after waking up, he gets attacked not once, not twice but three times in a single day. Our hero can know how strong enemies are thanks to a special ability of his, but the thing is... What good does it do to know just how weak you are compared to a deadly creature chasing you? This is a LitRPG Fantasy Adventure in which battles are won (or lost) with strategy and wits as our protagonists aren't necessarily the strongest... So if you enjoy more strategic battles I think you will love this story!About the chapters: I will post mostly 1,300 or so word chapters, I love weekly manga and feel like that pacing is similar to the one in a weekly serial chapter, hopefully, you enjoy these chunk-sized chapters :) I only do this for fun in my free time so I think I will probably post a chapter a week, but if my patreon ever gets busy I might put more time into my hobby xD If you feel like checking out some of the newest chapters, I have them over on my Patreon (Currently 5 chapters in advance): www.patreon.com/rija Extra info (Might get spoilery): As the story progresses I intend to add more strategy, politics and economics into the story, but it will still be mostly a LitRpg action-adventure. (Also if you had read my synopsis previously I changed it a bit because the elements I mentioned before in the synopsis won't come into play until much later into the story, and that's why I changed it.)
