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 8

The next morning.

When I woke up, something soft and smelled nice was clinging to me.

I squinted, thinking I must be imagining it, and there was Ena with her pretty face right in front of me.

“W-what… E-Ena…!?”

I was so surprised that I accidentally let out a loud voice… I was sure I had slept in a different bed from Ena.

Ena, who had been sleeping peacefully just moments ago, slowly opened her long eyelashes.

“Mmm… Shiruto-kun…?”

She probably wasn’t fully awake yet. Her eyes fluttered drowsily as she murmured,

“…Ehehe. Shiruto-kun is warm and smells nice…”

She squeezed me.

Her soft body pressed against me as if I were a pillow.

(…T-this is bad. This position is definitely not good…)

Her relaxed face was both cute and beautiful, and the sweet scent reminded me of flowers. Ena wasn’t very busty, but the gentle pressure where she pressed against me was definitely soft.

And her thighs…

Ena’s bare legs had slipped under me… and I had to focus on steadying my breathing just to stay calm.

“…Huh? Shiruto-kun, for real…?”

“Y-yeah. Good morning, Ena…”

“…Mm. Ehehe, good morning. Shiruto-kun.”

Ena smiled brightly.

Then, as if nothing had happened, she let go of me and got out of bed. Even in the story, Ena was usually shy, but when she got close to someone she trusted, she often acted very affectionate. But still…

(The impact… it’s crazy…)

Anyway, it seemed Ena had completely opened her heart to me.

Thinking that warmed something deep inside me.

While having breakfast in the inn’s dining hall.

“Ena. After this, I’m planning to stop by the classroom.”

I said that to Ena, who had just taken a sip of her soup.

It was eight in the morning… Even if I hurried now, there was no way I could make it to the first period.

“…Mm… yeah. I… me too…”

“No, I’ll just stop by the classroom by myself. If possible, I want you to rest again today.”

Ena’s shoulders twitched at my words.

“Eh… n-no…”

“It’s fine. I’m not leaving you behind in the inn. We’ll go back to school together.”

Ena looked up at me with a worried face. I bit into the hard bread with my back teeth and said,

“I just have a little errand to take care of. Once it’s done, I’ll come straight back to you.”

“…An errand…?”

“Yeah… something I couldn’t get rid of before, and I need to fix it now.”

Irwin Shiruraito.

The pest that caused this tragic ending.

Getting rid of him, that’s why I need to go back to that classroom.

“…Understand. I… I’ll do what you say, Shiruto-kun…”

Ena said that, but her face was full of worry.

I didn’t want her to ever feel like this again. The plan to make sure that didn’t happen… I had already thought it through last night.

◇◇◇

So I quietly returned to the academy while leaving Ena in her room and headed to the classroom by myself.

It was just past noon. The lunch bell rang, and I turned the doorknob and pushed the door open.

Immediately… almost the entire class turned to look at me.

The first to speak wasn’t the teacher, though.

“―I can’t believe you had the nerve to show your face in front of me.”

A silver-haired boy rested his chin on his hand, and he was clearly annoyed, Irwin Selbus.

“Yesterday, I went to your room to thank you… haha. I thought you’d be too scared of me and would just quit school on your own.”

He glared at me sharply.

But I didn’t flinch. I returned his stare and said to this jerk,

“Irwin, I’ll say it straight. I hate you.”
