“I-I’m exhausted…”
Sara and I somehow made it to the library. I would’ve never thought that not only would we meet royalty, but also get involved in a game event, the exhaustion was beyond words.
‘Can’t I just go home now?’ I couldn’t help thinking that, but the deadline for Sara’s homeworks was tomorrow, so we still had to complete them today by hook or by crook.
“You should’ve done your homeworks the day you received them.”
“So naggy. If I can do that in the first place, I won’t suffer like this.” Sara pouted and complained. Her pretty look was such a waste on her.
The library in this Special Building was built very luxuriously, the interior was spacious. Immediately after entering the library, there were tables and chairs which could be used freely. There were a lot of students using the tables leaving almost none vacant. Sara and I went around to search for any empty table we could use. If possible, I wanted to have all the homework finished while we were in the library.
“Mn?” While I was on the lookout, I happened to see a familiar face. It was a table for six, but there he was, sitting alone.
“Isn’t that Zernite?”
Usually he was by Al’s side without ever being apart, now he was alone at the table reading a book.
Zernite in the BL game was not exactly doing bad academically. It was just that Alfred and the other close aides were just too excellent. Even then, Zernite tried his best to catch up with them and like this, he would find some time to come to the library for some studying.
“This… is an event.” Before I realized it, I had blurted that out.
At the back of my head, a memory came alive. A BL game event in Zernite’s route—‘At the Library’.
The MC Louie had to maintain good exam results as a scholarship student, so he would come to the library to study. However, the villainous noble son, Fania was also there, and like always he used random pretexts for messing with Louie. Louie tried to somehow escape, but he got pushed by Fania instead. Louie who almost fell was saved by Zernite who was nearby, and Fania was given bitter comments by Zernite.
Nevertheless, here at this place, the ‘villainous noble son, Fania’—me—was present, but there was no Louie, the MC. Even though the situation here was exactly like the ‘still image’1 I remembered.
Regardless whether the MC was present or not, it was unknown when the event would actually occur. I really had no intention to be involved in the BL game or whatsoever. I felt bad for Zernite, but I decided to pretend that I didn’t see him here.
“Fania, there, there’re empty seats there.” Sara pointed to the table Zernite was sitting as she pulled my clothes.
Stop it, and don’t talk loudly. This is the library. Or more precisely, please don’t right away crush my calculation.
“Ah, Fania. It’s rare to see you here.” Hearing Sara’s loud voice, Zernite looked over here and as he noticed me, he raised one hand.
Aaaaah, my calculations all ruined. I looked around restlessly, and only after I had confirmed that there was no Louie there, I approached Zernite.
“Eh, Fania, is this someone you know? But, what a relief, the seats here are empty.”
Yep, Sara was not at fault. When being told this cutely, Zernite would probably know by now that we were looking for unoccupied seats, and inevitably we had to sit here.
“Excuse me.” Sara put the textbooks on the table, pulled a chair and immediately moved her body to take the seat.
However, I tried to persist a bit more here. Well, be it BL game or otome game, I absolutely wanted to have nothing to do with them. I didn’t intend to stay long in the library, and I definitely refused to sit here.
“Urmm Sara, we really shouldn’t….” I pulled Sara’s coat. Only a wee bit, at that.
“Kyaaaah~” The moment she was pulled by me, Sara let out a very girlish shriek that was totally unlike the usual her, and she almost fell.
“Ah, Sara!” I reached out my hand in panic.
Of course, it was my attempt to save her. Alas, it ended up as me pushing her instead. Yes, I accidentally pushed Sara.
Whyyyyy?
“Careful!” Zernite, with a remarkable body reflex, caught Sara who was about to sit two seats away into his arms.
Let’s recount what happened2: facing Zernite, Sara first bowed at him and then moved to sit down. Zernite then agilely twisted his body around in order to catch Sara who nearly fell down. Now both of them were facing the front3.
Even if that was the case………
“Noooooo!” “Whoaaa!”
Somehow, Zernite ended up having both palms cupping Sara’s breasts.
Was that even possible to be in that pose when saving someone? Totally inconceivable!
Both of them got away from each other hastily. Sara’s arms covered her chest while her face had flushed red. On the other hand, Zernite was in panic as both his hands trembled non-stop.
Hmmmm, could this otome game possibly be R-18? I wondered.
