I Became a Stalker in a Yandere Dating Sim

20. Consequences of Silent Training

One of the reasons Rica could stick by Rex’s side, upholding their agreement, was…

Because she believed Rex — who was not stalking anymore, rather before he became a stalker — will return someday.

So when Rex changed and lost interest in her,

and started hanging around with Jane, she was filled with resentment and sorrow.

However, it was strange to talk with the changed Rex.

“It feels unfamiliar since they’re worrying nicely.”

In the corridor with a breeze blowing gently, Rica, who held the edge of Rex’s clothes, glanced back.

Even while following her with quite a puzzled expression,

he neither spoke nonsense nor nervously babbled.

If it were the same before, he would have already thrown an impossible flattery and crumpled her expression.

“There’s no particular change in the body… I wonder what emotional changes have happened?”

Thanks to mastering the method of turning the body into a shadow during the battle with the villain.

Rica, who could sneak into Rex’s sleeping hospital room, tilted her head.

When she inspected his body under the blanket, there was nothing special.

The only thing was a black heart that seemed to have been formed when he awakened.

She couldn’t feel anything like someone had implanted something strange or Avatar in his body.

She even hugged Rex and thoroughly scanned his body emitting a resonance.

But even if she scrutinized it thoroughly to the extent that Rex might wake up halfway, she couldn’t tell what change had happened.

“I really can’t even keep it imprisoned for observation.”

Rex was surprised when he felt Rica’s sharp gaze.

“Why, what’s wrong?”

Rex was slightly nervous that Rica might inquire about their agreement again.

Because, not just her eyes survived, she is creating an atmosphere similar to when she first opened dead eyes toward him.

“There’s such a thing.”

Rica moved her eyes to the wide corridor from the too-transformed Rex.

When a person suddenly changes too much, it said to become a brain or contracted with a demon.

Rica who thoroughly checked his body to avoid any strange misunderstandings, decided.

‘I won’t go inspecting, no matter what.’

After all, Rex doesn’t seem to have any intention of telling why he changed.

So she decided to observe by circling around him.

“You, don’t you have anything to tell me? Why do you suddenly stop stalking and live more normally, something like that?”

Before giving him a chance to volunteer, Rica went forward.

‘If I said I was possessed, how would he react?’

Rex contemplated what would happen if the possessor was discovered to be possessed.

Then the blue line of foresight showed Rica kidnapping him somewhere.

It was taking him to a mental hospital, but from Rex’s viewpoint, it was creepy.

“…You’ll find out gradually.”

Rex beat around the bush as if throwing a hint, but it wasn’t necessarily wrong.

He plans to voluntarily jump into all kinds of incidents and accidents in the future.

And the combat targets will eventually threaten the world.

If he fought against such beings, he would look like a character standing against threats for the peace of the world in others’ eyes.

Rex planned to beat around the bush casually for such a common reason for change.

But his answer rather gave fault and validity to Rica’s actions.

“…Then, should I watch?”

Rica, who had abruptly stopped her steps, calmly asked.

It wasn’t a special word, but Rex was somehow uncomfortable with something seemingly inevitable from his answer.

“Could anything serious really have happened?” I halted my steps and opened my mouth with this in mind.

“Right…?”

“Would you continue to observe him then? Was that what you asked of me?”

At that, Rika, who seemed to have been waiting, took hold of Loxer and started moving forward once again.

It was then when they said that Loxer, due to the aftereffect of an accident from his childhood, began hearing strange voices.

He even had a history of examinations regarding a pact with the devil or ghosts.

They couldn’t identify an external factor and settled it as a mere psychological issue.

During that process, Loxer experienced quite a hardship, struggling painfully.

Although it could be merely due to a psychological reason this time as well.

To prevent any misunderstanding, preparing to defend his change and gathering evidence was beneficial for Loxer.

Merely her testifying about watching him closely would be a substantial piece of evidence.

Of course, such things were merely her justification.

Or merely a pretext and an excuse for trailing after Loxer.

She really wanted to confine the seemingly reverted Loxer in a room this very moment.

While confessing all her resentments accumulated over time.

She also wanted to scrutinize whether he really had changed and what could have possibly happened.

“She subtly has a slippery aspect.”

She changed the subject, fearing that he may escape from the situation like a loach.

“By the way, where did you get the elixir from?”

She inquired about the lower-grade elixir that he had previously handed over to the trainees.

Loxer seemed to be cornered in the conversation, but Rika’s question had a valid point, so he adjusted his words.

“I bought it in bulk, thinking it may come in handy.”

Being just in time having a debt of billion, eventually, he laid groundwork to play with his tongue saying that He bought relief supplies in advance collecting debts to save people.

“Or maybe I could pay off all my debts before I get caught.”

After a while, he thought he should buy ‘Crash of Heaven’ and ‘Grace of God’ stocks that others can’t see on his laptop.

They’re stocks that soared like Bitcoins later anyway.

If there’s an obstacle, they are both forces of great evil but, he didn’t care. He thought he would just use them for money and stop.

“….Thanks to you, many people have survived. So, were you anticipating such events and prepared for it?”

Rika looked back at him with a slightly surprised expression.

‘There really is something.’

The person had certainly changed to a level that can’t be explained by average emotional changes.

Certainly, there must be a big cause in Loxer’s talk and action. Rika twinkled her red eyes.

“There’s no way.”

While shaking his head, Loxer dismissed it as coincidence.

“This just happened due to being possessed and such, okay?”

However, Rika did not consider this situation as a mere coincidence.

‘There must be something.’

From a malicious stalker to a person like Loxer from childhood growing up well.

The woman who couldn’t miss out on the change that happened when she had almost given up on Loxer.

Rika held on to Loxer’s coat as if to make sure he never went back to his stalker life.

###

The training ground mentioned in this work was also like a comprehensive sports facility where several training sessions can take place.

I guess because the academy is temporarily closed and the internet is cut off?

In such a comprehensive training facility, a considerable number of cadets were gathered to train.

They gathered in groups, sharing stories.

In other words, it’s just the right space to pull aggro.

“Rika!! Are you alright?”

“Huh!? It’s Rika!! How are your injuries??”

“The professors really rushed out all of a sudden. I was worried sick!”

I could feel the popularity of Rika who brought me here.

As if they had met a celebrity who had just returned, the students began to swarm towards me.

Suddenly, their collective gaze felt so piercing it could incinerate my body.

I was like a hot potato.

“Their stares are like they’ve found the answer sheet after solving all the questions on a test.”

It would have been more refreshing if they had just cursed and moved on.

It felt as if a hundred eyes of Sauron from ‘The Lord of the Rings’ were watching me.

“Rika! Is it really true that Roxer defeated all the villains?”

“Did he really catch a villain? And one from Dishonored at that?”

“No way, that has to be a false rumor!?”

Thankfully, they asked Rika instead of me.

I was proud of my record of not having spoken a word with these kids normally.

I thought there would be no kid who would come up and bother me…

“Roxer! Rika!”

Before I could even think, Jane, soaked in sweat and wearing her training attire, came bounding in with a long wooden sword.

The sensation was like a giant blue butterfly was flying towards me at a mach 6 speed.

She didn’t attack me when we were catching villains together, so I guess she wasn’t hostile.

I grew anxious since I couldn’t figure out this woman who was inscrutable.

“Wait what!? Jane is the first one to talk to a guy!?”

“I told you so!! It’s real!!”

“…Wow, I can’t believe it’s really true.”

As astonished as they were, the students stared at me wide-eyed.

Even if they look at me with such eyes, I don’t know anything, so I have nothing to tell them, right?

Then, Rika, who was holding onto my embarrassed collar, suddenly tightened her grip.

“Roxer, go train through spatial travel.”

Unexpectedly, Rika let me go.

I thought I would sneak away, as the kids would be watching and causing a ruckus, and it wouldn’t let me focus on my training.

Rika spoke to me and gestured with her jaw to go as she calmed the kids who had grown more uproarious.

“Alright.”

With that, using my field of view that permeates the world of crimson and purple cobwebs.

I thought about moving to the desired location and performed a spatial travel…

“…Huh!?”

“Hello???”

After successfully spatial traveling to an empty personal training ground and opening the door to register as a user,

I met eyes with a brown-haired, green-eyed, puppy-like Eerin for some reason.

A strange silence ensued between her, who seemed to have rushed from somewhere, and me.

“You, you said you stopped stalking me! Why are you following me!?”

“I came here first! You didn’t forget that I saved you, right!?”

Eerin, unable to contain her surprise, broke the silence.

“You saved me and I’m grateful! But do you know how many questions I had to answer because of you!?”

Just like a puppy wagging its tail as if something sorrowful happened.

She exploded in anger enough to make onlookers flustered.

“Eren pouted, making it look like she was wronged.

“And have you forgotten what you did to me!!”

Eerin, was so angry that she waved her arms around and questioned me like a chick.

Did I ignore what the kids have been saying this whole time?

I skipped ahead and asked the kids who were with Rika about the entire incident like before.

Well, both Rika and Jane are popular and have many friends.

I wondered if there were one or two mouths to ask. Eerin’s brown hair fluttered like a small dog being tormented by a large dog.

“That, yeah sorry.”

I gave a noncommittal answer, reaching out to place my hand on the palm-shaped biometric screen at the door.

“Hey! No fair!! I’m not just dealing with questions about you, but also about the villains’ attack!! Let me use it!!”

At this, Eryn, her eyes wide open, rushed over and tore my hand away from the door.

She may be small, but the academy students are strong, and that seemed to include her.

It felt like a large dog playing tug-of-war, latched onto me and pulling away.

“Hm? Can’t you hear Eryn’s voice from over there?”

“Really? Eryn! Are you there?”

Upon hearing the voices of the other kids, it seemed that she was really having a tough time, almost on the verge of tears as she glared at me.

In the end, I had no choice but to yield my place to her.
