The Female Leads Truly Loves You - Chapter 83

So this is the game we’re playing?
“I’m really sorry, did I scare you? But as you know, a few days ago, I ran into some trouble on my way home, and I’ve been a bit frightened since… So, I carry this knife for self-defense, not at all meant for Sam, please don’t think of me as weird.”

Zoe seemed almost on the verge of tears.

Sam didn’t quite know what to say.

All he could do was help her pick up the kitchen knife from the ground, then, almost embracing her, walked towards the elevator, comforting her as they went.

“It’s okay, I understand, sis. I know you’re worried about safety, and about me… But don’t worry, I’ll take care of myself just as I would protect you. You don’t need to worry about me; you must take good care of yourself, Zoe.”

Zoe looked at Sam, touched.

“Sam, you’re so kind~ Take good care of yourself too. I didn’t come out here to ask anything else, just worried that you might be deceived by some bad women in this bustling city. It would be great if you could stay alert on your own.”

Sam smiled.

“Yeah, don’t worry, I know the only person who’s really good to me here is you, Zoe. You treat me like a young brother, letting me feel a sense of family in this cold, bustling city. I’m really grateful to you, Zoe. But it’s late now, let’s go home, okay?”

Zoe nodded, standing inside the door, looking at Sam, her eyes twinkling slightly.

“Take good care of yourself, and don’t get fooled. If you ever feel lonely, you can come to me for anything… anything at all.”

Zoe’s face wore a charming allure, her words seeming like a flirtatious hint, but Sam showed no impulse, carefully handing the kitchen knife back to her.

“I understand, thank you, sis. You go back first, good night.”

“Good night.”

As the door closed, Zoe, still with a blush and shy emotions on her face, looked at the door, her expression fading instantly.

She glanced at the kitchen knife in her hand.

“Tsck~ Seems like I got a bit carried away there, that might make Sam suspicious.”

Turning around, she walked towards a wall and stopped in front of it, knowing that Sam’s room was just on the other side.

Only a wall separated them.

Zoe displayed a contemplative expression. “Just as I thought, Sam is not lacking in female attention. I need to figure something out… otherwise, Sam will be taken away by someone else.”

She gripped the kitchen knife, looking up at the ceiling with a devout expression, like a praying saintess.

However, the knife in her hand starkly contrasted with this image. A mix of devotion and cruelty.

“If things continue this way, Sam will be taken away… That cannot happen… Those women, how could they possibly be suitable to take care of Sam? It’s all deception… coveting his handsome appearance. Only I am different… I have to take care of him, take good care of him. I alone am enough to do so…”

…

Gasping for breath, Sam shut the door of his room behind him.

His eyes were wide as he breathed rapidly.

“That scared the life out of me… Why would she carry a kitchen knife? Has she lost her mind?”

Now, he had no doubts about the warnings of a BAD ending in this game world being real.

Fortunately, his quick reaction turned the tide. Otherwise, tonight could have been disastrous.

After taking a shower, Sam returned to his bed, exhausted.

He had to face another day tomorrow… with new developments and relationships with the female leads. It was too much, and Sam momentarily gave up on thinking.

Just sleep. As long as he was alive, that was enough.

[Ding.]

Sam glanced at the dashboard and then closed his eyes, unimpressed.

“Lame system, let me know when you’re ready to award five hundred points, tossing pennies like to a beggar…”

At that moment.

[Ding! Based on the host’s conquest progress, a special skill is awarded!]

[Self-Healing]

“Now, that’s more like it!”

…

Just another day, another morning.

As usual, Sam found some love letters in his shoe locker, and today, he seemed even more handsome.

Turning his head, he saw the same mysterious and magical girl opening her locker, who felt his gaze and glanced back at him.

With the same disdain, the same scorn. Perfect, very spirited. At least it proved that today’s Sophie was very normal.

“Please be the only normal thing in my abnormal life, and never give me a good face. I beg you!”

Sam’s eyes even held a hint of pleading, which made Sophie pause. “This jerk… What’s with that weird look? Is he sick?”

In the classroom, Louis was as enthusiastic as ever, discussing how intense and cool last night’s game was, although ending with a score of 0-10 nearly brought him to tears.

Sam admired such optimism, patting Louis on the shoulder, saying, “Games are fun, right? The female characters are pretty, aren’t they?”

Louis’s face lit up with devotion. “Of course! The female characters in games are the best!”

Sam nodded. “Good, live forever in that fantasy world, and don’t be like me… It seems wonderful, but it’s not.”

Louis was confused. “Even though you’re wishing me well, why does it sound like you’re bragging?”

“Sam! Go to the office and get your report card!”

“Oh, okay.”

Sam realized today was report card day, but what did it matter?

The ‘rewards’ were already given, almost as a punishment.

Sam walked towards the office, where Alice stood with her report card, her expression seemingly normal. It was all strictly business, even bordering on cold, a demeanor that felt unfamiliar to Sam.

“Your progress is rapid, but there’s still room for improvement in math. Keep up the effort and don’t get complacent.”

“Oh… okay, thank you, teacher.”

Sam didn’t probe further into her professional facade; in fact, he preferred it this way. But just as he was about to turn away, he found himself frozen in place.

Alice looked up at him, her face maintaining its normalcy.

“Is there something else?”

Taking a deep breath, Sam clearly saw a mischievous glint in her eyes. He got the message, he quickly shook his head.

“No, nothing. I’ll be going now.”

“Alright.”

As he turned to leave, Sam quickened his pace. He needed to get back to his seat fast to avoid any embarrassment.

For just as he had turned, he distinctly felt a hand… carefully, deliberately stroking the crotch where he held his cock… even giving it a pinch!

Who else could it be but Alice?

Alright, alright, so this is the game we’re playing? It’s on now, isn’t it?
