I Reincarnated as a Mob in a Depressing Erotic Video Game World. When I Saved the Main Heroine That Fallen Into Despair, Her Overwhelming Obsessive Love for Me Wouldn’t Stop. - Chapter 14

“Hey…, but isn’t it obvious!?”

Was he laughing, or crying? I couldn’t tell. His expression was somewhere in between, and yet Irwin shouted at the top of his lungs.

“Ena and I, we like each other!! So, we have to be together…! That’s why it had to happen…!!”

He kept yelling, almost like a child who didn’t get the toy he wanted—,

“Ena… Ena is… mine…!!”

His words made no sense, but they echoed across the whole arena.

“Ena… she should have called for my help sooner!! She can’t do anything without me!! She should have clung to me right away!! Because Ena… she can’t live without me…!!”

Ah… I see. So that was his motivation. What Irwin wanted was Ena’s mental surrender, which would make their romance real.

“That’s why… I hurt her! I called her a witch, I humiliated her, and made her understand!! To make her remember that she needs me…!!”

“…Enough. Shut up, Irwin.”

“―Shut up!? Shut up, shut up, shut up!! You, a random mob, are trying to ruin my love with Ena!! If only… if only you weren’t here!! Then Ena would’ve been mine forever…!!”

Irwin screamed with a terrifying intensity. The students in the stands were silent, just watching our conversation. I’ll say what they were probably thinking for them.

“Shut up, you jerk.”

By now… I don’t think anyone could deny it. Irwin Selbus had become a complete jerk in everyone’s eyes.

No, he always was. I just exposed it through my contract with him.

“Ena isn’t yours. She never was. That’s just your disgusting fantasy.”

“N-No… that’s not…! Because Ena!! She has to like me…!!”

“Maybe she did, once.”

―Irwin and Ena came from the same hometown.

They were born in the same small village and slowly built a bond. Ena even had an innocent crush on Irwin. So not everything he says is completely wrong.

“But you kept making terrible choices… You probably relied too much on Ena’s kindness. That’s why you tried to blame her for the runaway incident. You thought she’d forgive you, is that it?”

“Th-That… is…!!”

“And you, you tried to make Ena yours in the worst possible way. You hurt her, wore her down, and cornered her. All so she would depend on you.”

I sighed without thinking.

…It’s not like I’m denying Irwin’s twisted desire for control. Not everyone in this world experiences beautiful love.

But controlling your impulses with reason is what makes someone human. Irwin isn’t human anymore, as he drowned in his desire and crossed the line.

“Irwin. You’re nothing but a jerk. You don’t even have the right to appear in Ena’s world.”

I spat the words out.

Irwin… pressed his face hard against the ground and muttered,

“Wh-why… why would you say that…”

Smack, smack.

He pounded the floor with his fists and sniffled while dragging snot along,

“Why… why would you say something so cruel…!”

And then… he finally broke down and cried.

Um, maybe I went a little too far. Time to let him off for now.

“Lift your head, Irwin. And… you know this, but what you did is a serious crime. Ena wasn’t expelled because there wasn’t enough evidence. But, if they check your body’s magic, they’ll see it came from her.”

“Guh… n-no! If I get expelled… I’ll be separated from Ena…!!”

“Yeah. In that case, this depressing ending will at least make a bit more sense.”

Ah, that’s right. I still had one question left.

What should I ask…? Well, the student council looks like they’re about to trap us, so I’d better get it over with.

“Last question, Irwin. What do you like about Ena?”

“Th-that, um…”

Finally giving up, Irwin slumped to the ground as he was completely drained and said,

“I… I like everything about her, of course. Because… She’s so kind, and she looks like that? Not liking her would be crazy…”

“…Haha. Well, I can at least agree with that part.”

I murmured it softly, so it wouldn’t get picked up on any stream.

Alright, that’s the end of the contract.

Just as the student council was about to surround us.

“But… I guess I would prefer if her chest were bigger…”

Forget what I said.

There’s no way I could ever truly understand this jerk.
