I Became a Stalker in a Yandere Dating Sim

23. Gambling Addiction Counselling Acquired Without a Country Code

After exchanging the brief formalities, they received a notice that next Saturday, after the mid-term evaluations of the academy next week, they would proceed to their journey’s destination, the ‘Double Helix Tower’.

If things proceed as per the original story, after the mid-term evaluations next week, several people might choose to join the army or make a contract with the devil.

And then the heroines and the protagonist would probably be targeted randomly.

Well, Jane and Rika included.

“Hiiiyaaah…! My staff…”

Erin, who was tightly holding her old staff looked terribly shocked.

In reality, she only knew three people, including Erin.

Could the old staff Erin was holding be a doll she was attached to?

She hugged her staff like a puppy happy with a newly found toy, and even sobbed a little, making a whining noise.

At this point, the heroines getting along with the protagonist seemed a little weak.

However, the difficulty level increased geometrically, and whether it was due to the butterfly effect I caused, who knows.

When I think about the powerful villains who revealed themselves during the special entity subjugation training…

I felt like dancing.

It wasn’t that I didn’t enjoy fighting already, but in the face of the villains, it was a thrill to instantly end battles with my skills.

Now there was an exciting event waiting.

Either accepting magic or making a contract with the devil, I was eager to see how powerful the students could be.

I excitedly tapped the table with my fingers.

“Huh!? What are you looking at! You can’t even say a proper greeting!”

Erin grumbled, sitting across from me, like a simmering teapot.

In between, the protagonist, Jane, who was sitting next to me, suddenly approached me.

“Roxer! So when are you going to teach me how to use that technique?”

This person was either crazy about combat, or didn’t want a yuri harem that she wished for.

She managed to attract several people’s stares to me.

“After the exam.”

“Great! There’s a bit of a break after the exams, right? We can also go out somewhere.”

If I agreed to teach her how to apply other skills.

Why are they talking about going to a water park during vacation, as if they’re a group of boys?

I was already anxious knowing that Rica was sitting across from me.

“What? The rookie named Roksa is that popular?”

“I know… He had a terrible reputation, but people are saying he’s changed a lot.”

“Ugh…! Jane’s interest…!! And even Rica is involved!”

At the same time, a female student who looked like a lily senior seems to have a stomachache.

She was grumbling with her body sprawled out over the table like a wilted flower.

Jane’s popularity and her innocent charm are overflowing but something didn’t seem right.

“So, Roksa, are you preparing for your exam well?”

Regardless, Rica took a sip of water and extended her hand towards me.

Rica’s outstretched hand pushed Jane away who was trying to lean on me.

I wondered whether this was out of jealousy or simply finding Jane annoying.

I had escaped being a stalker only to find myself in a similar situation… it felt like I was getting two duplicate gifts.

Moreover, one gets a little too friendly and turns possessive.

I couldn’t help but feel I needed to control this.

“Well? Preparation for the written exam may take time, but I think there’ll be no problem if I study myself….”

In order to maintain a certain distance, I deflected her offer to help.

Roksa usually doesn’t study, I was sure of it.

When Roksa was stalking, Rica, she took care of me, she wouldn’t miss such an opportunity.

But Rica, who wouldn’t back off, glanced back at me.

“Really? Then, would you like to come to the research club and solve some problems together? There are quite a lot of well-off folks like Erin.”

Like a cold wife plotting in secret, she tempted me with networking opportunities.

The more I looked at her, her allure was like a desirable gem and every time she smiled, my ambition stirred.

I suppressed such vulgar sentiments and thought about networking.

A wide network may be useful in the future but on the other hand, it might be unnecessary.

It felt like an item with great value for money but unsure where to use it.

Erin is from a well-off family?

“Why? What are you looking at?”

“Such a child of a wealthy family is having such strange thoughts and misunderstandings…”

Upon looking at Erin, who appears innocent but has bold fantasies, I instantly froze.

“Huh? What?”

Whether it was her pure charm or an act overshadowed by dark intentions, I don’t know.

The cause of the problem is Erin, who looked as if she is interested in Jane.

“You know Jane, your workout misunderstanding was….”

“Mhm?”

“What?!? Stop that small organization!!”

With that, a wave of commotion passes by.

Despite the intentions to take the exam for the scholarship, I eventually followed Rica.

Originally, it was a club for studying monster strategy or dungeon clearance and about combat.

With exams next week, starting from lunchtime this week.

They said they will study continuously until the academy ends.

I wanted to act freely, but they made me study as if it was my senior year.

Everyone! Shall we solve the problems I’ve made?

A soft voice, reminiscent of a familiar petal, echoed in front of me.

When I looked up… I unintentionally locked eyes with the same yellow eyes of the heroine depicted in the painting on Roksa’s ceiling in the main character’s bibimbap pot.

Her beautiful appearance is as stunning as a red rose, but not too much, making her even more beautiful.

Feeling the compassion in the slightly unnerved yellow gaze when she found me.

Seems to look down on me with…. with contempt.

Although I couldn’t determine why, I could see hesitation and slight trembling in the heroine’s gaze.

The honor student offers to tutor after posing a problem.

“Camilla, what’s going on?”

“Right, quickly distribute the test papers!”

“Did you see a ghost or something?”

“Ah, no!”

During the special creature subjugation practical, the kid who usually cast a healing spell on the tanker that I fed the elixir to, hurriedly distributed the test papers.

Well… the one who normally stalked me, isn’t doing it anymore.

Perhaps it’s because she’s given a low-grade elixir to another kid.

“…They’re here.”

Whether it was because she was in a hurry at that time, or because Roxer was annoying her, she was shouting plainly.

Now she calmly announced and distributed the test papers onto my desk.

“hehehehe! hehehehe!”

As soon as I received the test papers, Erin, who sat near me let out an evil laughter.

“Do you think a jerk who doesn’t study will suddenly start studying now!?”

Then, as if thinking this was a chance, she looked at me with a very hungry and challenging expression.

The funny thing was, it wasn’t hateful because it was like being chapped by a puppy, and because it seemed like she was doing that because of Roxer’s influence, it didn’t bother us.

“It’s a competition! Roxer! If I can’t solve half of the questions that I’ve solved, I will leave the travel club!”

She confidently challenged me, pointing at me with a very spirited expression.

“What if I don’t want to?”

“…er, well… um….”

Erin panicked when I flatly refused. Her green eyes spun round.

“That’s it! Forget about today!”

She soon switched the conditions and begrudgingly proposed the wager.

“What are you? Oh~ You and I were thinking about the exercise Jane did …!”

“Uh, aaah!! Don’t blabber about those guys!!”

Thanks to her, I caught the attention of the surrounding students.

“What does Erin think Jane’s exercise is?”

“I don’t know, she broke off and I didn’t hear very well.”

“Why did Erin’s face turn into a tomato?”

Similar sounds began to rise lightly.

Beside me, an innocent Jane oddly bothered me by asking questions, and Rika, who was annoyed by Jane, sat down beside me.

“hahahaha, Rika, do you like me?”

“Phew…”

Because of her, Jane, who seemed to like Rika, approached her with an awkward distance and hugged her tightly.

“Oh, anyway!! Promise me! If I win, you’ll never do that again!?”

“What if I win?”

“Hmph! Would that be possible? Even though I’m like this, I’m the top in magic and alchemy,

And my handwriting in other subjects is also among the top five on average!

I’ve even tied for first place with Camilla, who is always the top in writing!”

Erin sounded as if she was a third-rate villain introducing herself.

Whether I accepted or not did not matter to me, I was going to solve the problems.

“Hmm?”

“hahahahaha! What’s up? Already got a problem you don’t know? Right? Right?”

Somehow, as I was solving the problems, a blue vein showed the future of whether choosing the correct answer would be wrong or right.

Even in the case of subjective questions, due to the connection between the status window and the notebook that I had forgotten about.

Accepting magic creates a new ability to handle the power of the magic world, which isn’t subordinate to anywhere, but one can easily get drunk on power.

Making a contract with a demon means that you have made a dependent contract in exchange for your soul to receive magic or the demon’s characteristics or skills, even further to its given powers, but it has become a servant of the demon.

Both commonly corrupt humans.

‘Show an answer to the subjective question “describe in detail accepting magic and signing a contract with a demon”.

I, who was intending on only contributing to battles and not this sort of thing, said:

“Um…. I’ve done everything.”

“Really? Do you want me to grade it?”

“I want to join, too!”

Ignoring Erin, who couldn’t hear my words because she was busy solving the problem.

I handed the test paper to Rika and Jane who promised to grade it.

“….? Wait, how did you solve this so quickly and get everything right? Did you come from the future?”

“Wow…! Everything was correct! Rokser, you really are amazing!”

Rika looked at me, amazed, and Jane ran in for another embrace.

Rika was giving me suspicious glances as if something seemed off. But Jane ran towards me again, pressing her body against mine in no time.

I guess I missed her body contact…not really, anyways.

“Hey, Erin. Erin.”

“Argh! You’re distracting me from the problem?! …Yes?”

When I handed her my almost perfectly solved test paper, Erin froze completely.

Did I draw Medusa’s face on my test paper or something?

Erin, who had suddenly realized something, quickly scanned my test paper. Then she looked at me with trembling eyes and shaky hands, a look of reality denial on her face.

For some reason, I remembered someone’s line, ‘Do you want to call it a draw?’

But Erin must have preferred asking before accepting the reality.

“Ha, one more time…!! Let’s do it again!!”

“What if I refuse?”

“…If…if you win again, I’ll count it as two victories!!”

Although it was an obvious statement, since even rock-paper-scissors needs three rounds, Erin seemed unwilling to accept the result so I casually agreed to it…

…In the end, after a few days of full-body workouts and fierce battles with Erin in between.

“Urgh….. This can’t be happening….”

I recorded a mythical win rate of 30 wins in 30 matches.

Erin, who was utterly defeated, was in tears, her face showing the loss of the world.

Her shaking feet under her chair and her tightly clenched hands that were crumpling my test paper conveyed her feelings.

Seeing Erin like this, Rika gently hugged her.

In Rika’s arms, Erin wailed in frustration.

She didn’t seem to be shedding any tears, but she looked like she was crying a lot.

Where was that gambling addiction counseling center?

I finished preparing for the written test like this and went to prepare for the practical test.
