CHAPTER 6: STAGE CLEARED, NEXT! [1]

Nevertheless, Roy continued watching.

[Day 18: On the way to school, you meet Kyouno, and she informs you about Misaki’s likes.]

[Day 19: At lunch break, you place a note on Misaki’s desk, telling her to meet you on the roof after school, as you have a surprise for her.

After school, you wait at the roof for over twenty minutes before Misaki finally shows up. You ask her to go to a concert with you, and coincidentally, it’s tickets for her favorite band. She agrees.]

[+5 Affection.]

[Day 22: Before class begins, Misaki shyly hands you a bento, and you accept. You both agree to walk home together after school.

At lunch break, you eat the meal, but end up spending thirty minutes in the toilet. Your food was poisoned. You skip going to the infirmary. -50% Stamina, -1♡.

You purchase an apple from the love shop. -10 Love Points. +1♡.

After school, you walk with Misaki and have a nice chat. Coincidentally, the two of you share similar tastes in likes and dislikes.]

[+10 Affection.]

[Day 27: You meet with Misaki and go to the concert. You both have a good time, and you confess your feelings to her and kiss.]

[+30 Affection.]

"Yes! Keep going, you bastard! Don’t stop now!" Roy screamed in anticipation, cheering Pierre on.

Of the four objectives of this main quest, Pierre had completed three. Now, he only had to learn her deepest secret.

[Day 29: Before school begins, Misaki walks up to you and asks what that date meant for the two of you. And you say, "It means we’re boyfriend-girlfriend, doesn’t it?" Misaki blushes and says, "Okay," before leaving.

At lunch break, you find another bento by Misaki on your desk. Despite being afraid, you still eat it. Your food was poisoned. -80% Stamina. -2♡.

You end up sick and have to leave school.]

"Who keeps on poisoning his food? I think it’s Kyouno. She likes him, but he keeps treating her like shit. She must want to spoil his feelings for Misaki," Roy muttered with a hand on his chin.

He could only see where Pierre was, nothing else. Hence, there was no way he could find any evidence to back up his claim.

[Day 34: You return to school, and everyone tells you how much they miss you. On your desk, there’s a note from Misaki that tells you to meet her at the school rooftop after she has something important to tell you...]

"Does she want to reveal the secret? Just like that?" Roy eagerly watched and prayed it was so.

[...After school, you go to the rooftop and see Misaki there. She looks more beautiful than normal...]

Roy voiced an order, and the time conversion switched back to the system world, so things returned to their proper speed.

"Misaki-chan, what did you want to meet me here?" Pierre voiced, walking closer to her.

Misaki stared at the setting sun, a radiant look on her face. "Pierre-kun, this was where you invited me on a date. Before I came here that day, I already knew that falling in love with you would be inevitable. I didn’t want that. But I came up here anyway."

’Oh, brother. Let’s just get this over with. Spill it!’ Pierre scratched the back of his head bashfully and responded, "Ah, th-that’s nice to hear, Misaki-chan. From the first day I saw you, I already knew too."

"There’s something I have to tell you... Pierre-kun."

"Whatever it is, it won’t make me love you any less, Misaki-chan!"

Misaki sighed in relief and smiled. "Okay."

She walked closer to him and whispered in his ear, "...I killed my last boyfriend."

"...eh?" Pierre’s mind went blank for a second, and there was already a knife plunged deep in his chest.

Stab! Stab! Stab!

"I love you! I love you, I love you, I love you! I want you forever! If I don’t do this, you will eventually leave me. I can’t let anyone else have you!" Misaki cried and laughed as she kept on plunging the knife into Pierre’s chest, neck, and abdomen.

[-5 ♡]

"If you love me, please die for me," she said before everything went blank before Pierre’s eyes, and the pink-themed panel appeared before him.

[Main Story #7 — Cleared!]

[Rewards: +0.5 Stat Points, 50 Love Points.]

Roy stared ahead with widened eyes as the previously generated world was falling apart, total horror on his face.

’What on bloody earth just happened?’ he asked in thought.

Wasn’t this just a regular dating sim? Why did they murder Pierre?

Roy looked at Pierre’s expression, and it seemed the lad was just as surprised as he was.

"I just knew she was a nutcase. She was poisoning my food on purpose! So she was the one who killed me last time, not Kyouno," Pierre voiced, clicking his tongue and touching the areas of his body she stabbed.

Luckily for him, the simulation had zero pain effect, so he didn’t really feel anything. But then, the shock was hard to shake off.

Right after, the interface updated its message.

[Main Story #8 will begin in 10... 9... 8...]

Roy sat on the floor and said, "S-Switch it back to real-world time, please..."

[3... 2... 1... And it begins!]

Pierre woke up in his bed again and was greeted with the pink-themed set of information, read by an enthusiastic feminine voice.
