-and it's not like I'm really going to help Isshiki with her plan on Hayama since -

…I forgot.

I already used up this week's maxx coffee quota.

Usually I would drink 15-20 maxx coffee a week nowadays, well compared to middle school me that only drank once a day due to the need to save money… Horrible experience of holding myself back from buying another can of that sweet goodness… Damn it, it's only Thursday…

…Oh damn, I really sound like an addict right there…

Meh. Hold on Komachi, I only drink it when I'm feeling stressed as hell! You can't blame me for drinking so much! Maxx coffee is like a drink from the heaven and it helped me through lots of tough times during my jobs! Emotion, energy, body, you name it and that drink fixed me right up!

After defending myself from Mind-Komachi that always appear whenever I go overboard, especially maxx coffee, I arrive at the vending machine room then open the door.

…Oh for – it's almost time for break to be over! Why the fuck are there so many people in here?! Luckily the room is air conditioned so the room isn't that putrid but still!

Well… Looks like I won't be having maxx coffee…

I let out a sigh, close the door, then turn around to walk towards the canteen in hopes of buying something.

"Oi, Hikio! Catch!"

Huh?

I turn around and blink since something is flying right at my face. Without thinking, I quickly bring my hand up to block and wince as it collides with my wrist while something clatters on the ground.

I look down and see a maxx coffee rolling on the floor then it stops right in front of a pair of sho – Miura.

…Why am I not surprised that you would be the first one to throw something at me… Well at least it isn't a tissue box…

Ahem, moving on from that traumatic memory of my job, I glare at her, "Oi, you threw that at my head." At lethal force too! You could have knocked me out, you know?!

I can see guilt flashing in her eyes but arrogance takes its place with her crossing her arms and smirking, "Ah relax, Hikio, no harm done anyway." She bends down and grabs the can then dangles it in front of me, "Besides, I bought you this."

…I didn't even see you in there, just – you know what, I'll just chalk it up as the system forcing us to interact. It makes the most logical sense based on past experiences.

…But, I feel like everything is going too fast. Oi, let me rest by doing a time skip! Like those VN games! You know the ones that skip the boring parts by a few sentences, well it won't be boring for me since I can rest.

"User request denied – currently experiencing an event."

…Ok… I really need to experiment on the things I can do with you… Maybe -

"Oi, Earth to Hikio, you in there? Or did you leave like last time?"

Oh right, I forgot about you Heroine – I mean Miura, "Get your fingers away from my face." Seriously stop snapping your fingers! I can hear and hear you just fine!

She stops then shrugs, "Can't blame me, you like to wander off while talking to people." She pauses then squints her eyes, "…Actually, you have only been talking to girls… And these past two days, you've been talking even more…"

…Girl, are you stalking me? Actually, why are you so interested in me?! I don't think I've done anything remarkable before nor stand out in any way! I am – was that background character that only minded my own business!

I say was since that isn't the case now! Fuck you system and previous player for recommending me!

Maybe she notice my thoughts since her cheeks redden and she frantically wave her hands, "Don-don't get the wrong idea Hikio! It's just that as the Queen, I naturally take stock of what is going on in class!"

"…Ok." Whatever you say, even though I can see what's likely the truth of yours.

She pouts then lets out a sigh, "Oh forget it… Anyway, we only got few minutes left, so want to go over there and finish our drinks?" Hold on… Where did that orange box drink in your hand come from?

…Chalk it up as pockets, Hachiman, pockets.

I nod at her but stop, "Hold on, don't you usually hang out with your clique?" I won't be complaining about the opportunity to increase Heroines bar but… Yeah.

She blinks, "Hayama was called to the teacher's lounge and the guys were being more annoying than usual – oh right, almost forgot…" She quickly closes in on me then grabs my collar, "Did you do anything to Yui?" She quietly mutters while her eyes glint a bit.

…Miura, I give your performance a 7/10 but since it's because of somebody else, 8/10. Unfortunately, you're not as scary as my past co-workers.

I just stare at her then lightly shrug, "Why do I need to answer that?"

…Whoops, that wasn't what I intended to say. And judging from that slight flinch I see, she hates it. Hmm… Maybe I should take my words back… But… I don't want to take it back.

Well, time's up and she's glaring at me even harder, "I'm just worried about her since she's my friend!"

…Friend? I don't know what your definition of friend is… But I don't think friends are supposed to ignore the other one's thoughts and feelings, no?

But… Since it's Yuigahama's problem… I shouldn't involve myself, doubly so since both of them are Main Heroines that I need to conquer…

…Meh, I'm just going to follow your words in this situation, Shiro.

I smirk, "Are you sure you two are friends? I've –"

"Of course we are!"

"-seen your talkings and you usually ignore Yuigahama-san's opinion and feelings. You might think that I don't care before but I usually look around the class whenever I feel bored."

She blinks, then her glare relaxes a bit, though I'm pretty sure it's unintentionally, "…What do you mean?"

My smirk stretches even further, "Since your clique likes to talk so loud, I kept on hearing things whether I wanted to or not. Every time Yuigahama tried to suggest something else, you cut in. Every time Yuigahama tried to say no, you pressure her into yes. You get the picture of a social bully, or do I need to go on?"

She flinches hard at the end then rapidly shakes her head while her hold on me loosens, to the point I can break free but I don't, "Yo-you're wrong… I… I never…" She shoves me away, almost making me go down, then runs away.

I just stare at her back that slowly shrinks then shakes my head, "…Being a nosy asshole doesn't suit me, Shiro." I look around and see people now coming and going, "…System." I just nod and accept that the system most likely stopped people from coming here.

I was about to walk away but stop since I see an orange box on the floor, "…Fuck, why did you forget your juice?" I bend down and pick it up.

…Just place it at her desk then go away. No one should notice me.

Easy enough.

…I fucking jinxed myself.

A/N

Nothing to say. Anyway on to the comments!

CrazyxEnigma - *REDACTED*. Also, it's not really about my creativeness that is my problem but my motivation and willingness to write it. My brain is really a treasure trove of ideas since I can always make something new with the old ideas... Though, it's... *crooked smile* A curse really.

XXxxxadisxxxXX - the grammar errors, other than spelling, are intentional since if I were to write it perfectly then I would feel like I'm writing an essay instead of fanfic, I just keep it above the average fanfic writer (admittedly an easy one) level. The core concept is simple but the other concept? Lol. And yep subtle horror is best horror!

Sebas602 - *bows* let the hate flow in you! I don't discrimate between readers liking or disliking my characters

CMY187 - honestly, I'm just studying to help diagnose myself since my brain is sick like hell. No joke I think some parts are rotten. Which is why I just want to die at this point to end my suffering!
