"Ten minutes late… Hikigaya-kun."

Of course I would get told just as I entered the room. Although, I have to thank you for not cursing me. Really, I was prepared to get lectured for something that was not my fault. Unfortunately, I am so used to it that I can somehow feel the soreness around my neck because I kept nodding like a nodding robot, even though it's been a few years now.

Back to the situation at hand, I let out a long sigh as I look back to close the door, "Yeah yeah, sorry. Was caught up –" I turn around then my mouth freezes as my eyes land on her.

"…Oi, you're supposed to be in bed." Even though she's sitting all prim and proper like usual, I can see that she's struggling to keep her eyes open, with how many times her head slightly droops but immediately pops back up. Especially with that look of yours right now.

Sheesh, I wouldn't be surprised if you were to reveal yourself to be a yuki-onna who came down here to show off your ability to insult people.

"…None of your business… Hikigaya-kun." Your out of breath and unfocused eyes are really convincing, Yukinoshita. Mind showing me the place where you learned to act?

…Oh wait, this… Isn't this a good way to increase her bar? I know I'm following those VN games logic but taking care of a sick person should garner some good points, right?

A plan slowly forms inside me on how to take advantage of her situation while I just lightly scoff at her, "It would be my responsibility if you were to pass out and die here. Obviously I would be the prime suspect then thrown into jail with no trial based on my looks alone."

I see her squinting her eyes at me then slowly letting out a quiet, "…What?" While her body slightly sways left and right but she quickly shakes her head then focuses on me.

…Right, keep my words short and on point, "I mean that it is my business as a club member." I slowly walk over to her, mindful to not frighten her or something, then put my hand over her head, "You don't have a fever…"

I see her looking at me then blinking a few times, as if she can't comprehend what is happening, until it finally clicks.

Her reaction?

To let out a scream. A weak scream. But a scream that almost send my ears to the an early grave. It's early because the body isn't there yet.

I rub my ears, still feeling the lingering effect of her scream, "Oi, you didn't need to scream like that." I glare at her but she glares back with her eyes blazing. Oh and her cheeks too.

"…You damn – neanderthal of a cave, rat existence, snake that should have been turned into a boot, bastard, smooth brain than a child –"

Wow… I… Did not expect to trigger… This. I just did what I usually do to Komachi whenever she's sick! It's not like I put my hand at her boobs or something for fucks sake! Just the forehead! Literally, ask those sluts and they would just laugh while mocking you for this!

…Oi, I can see you shaking your head, Mind-Komachi. Tell – oi! Don't disappear! I swear I will take away your privileges in here if you don't come back young lady!

"- incompetent failure of a member of a sex that only thinks with their dick –"

Oh the hell are you saying, Yukinoshita?! I accidentally zone back in to you and I hear you saying that! Are you that embarrassed to the point you're using crass words?!

…Ok, you're finally losing steam since you're just repeating the same insults again and again. Can't you –

I blink and look down to see Yukinoshita's face leaning against my lower body…

Specifically my dick.

…Ok… She's really sick. I got 2 options: Bring her to the nurse office – oh wait… The nurse is gone. That just leaves me with one option…

"Hopefully Sensei is still here…" I quietly mutter as I crouch down while holding her in place so that she doesn't fall down and die or something. I slowly grab her body, with her breathing quiet yet quick, then put her on my back to carry her.

…Hold on, oi system, can you tell me what's wrong with her? Seeing as she's the Main Heroine and all. While I'm asking the system, I let my body walk to the teacher's lounge to find Sensei.

"Main Heroine Yukino Yukinoshita is experiencing anemia as her penalty – user request granted."

…Anemia? Penalty? What the fuck are you talking about?

"At 1:15 AM, Wednesday 27 April, Main Heroine Yukino Yukinoshita attempted to resist her fate by different means multiple times in quick succession. Countermeasures were administered that gradually increased in intensity until Main Heroine had to undergo hypnosis to ensure no future resistance. Anemia was the side effect chosen. As an apology for unnecessary complications, an additional 5+ points was added to her bar as assistance."

…

"25/100 -like."

After I finished reading the response… And checking her conquest bar as confirmation… I… Don't know what to think about this… Since it's most, no, she should have been dealing with anemia since this morning.

I know… I know I'm an asshole… A disgusting trash that would do anything to survive, even if it means secretly sacrificing other people but… This? This is way too fucked up, even more than before now!

I know I should just kill off my emotions right now, hell I should have done it on the first day! But… I've already done it before… The first time took less than the second time to regain my emotions…

So, doesn't that mean if I were to kill my emotions the third time… Wouldn't… Wouldn't there be a high chance that I won't be able to regain it…?

I don't want to go back. I don't want to go back to that emptiness… That darkness, cold place.

…But, I would have to deal with having emotions to hamper my efforts in trying to conquer the gir – HEROINES! They are HEROINES! Just think of them like that! Make it easier on us!

I let out a quick sigh as I feel my body somehow became even heavier, "…Hey… Komachi…? Is it alright… If I can rest now…?" I mutter out loud, as if hoping that somebody will answer…

Of course, like always, no one answers.

*HTUHTUHTU*

A/N

Welp, fasting month has arrived for me (good ol work + assignment + fasting combo), so updates can become even slower than now... Fucking hell. Anyway, on to the comments!

CMY187 - lmao, yep. Also, I like to have my antagonist characters actually have a function in the story, unlike so many other stories out there *cough* chinese martial arts *cough*. Also yep, rom-com is honestly horror if you see it from my angle and I'm honestly surprised no one thought of doing this kind (yandere or other characters killing each other doesn't count)

CrazyxEnigma - *REDACTED*. Yeah, that's one of the ways Hayama can disturb 8man. True. And nice
