Stealing Heroine: Honestly, I never thought this far [Smut Warning!]

Ch 45 – 10 May, Eriri’s fall 05

During lunchtime on Thursday…

Because next week this school already has a midterm test, Satomi has been busy. As for Utaha, she was also busy with her own schedule, especially since she worked on her own novel and their project too.

Kouta didn't know how Utaha studied, but he knew that she was a diligent one and smart, as she always took first place in tests. So she must have taken her time to study too, right? Which was why he didn't try to disturb her for now.

That's why, once again, Kouta went to the GCC club room to continue editing his video. But when the lunch break was about to end, he got a message. A message from Eriri that told him to meet her.

Kouta excused himself to Takao, and his feet automatically went to the quiet place where she was. As he walked down the empty hallway of the special building. Before he opened the door, and he found a quite normal room. Except there was the presence of the girl inside.

She stood there quietly, sobbing uncontrollably.

When you see someone you know crying like that, especially a girl, it makes you feel bad. You may feel sad and bad about it. But for Kouta, when he saw her like that. He didn't feel anything other than a triumph. Of course, he didn't show it. But seeing her like that, and she messaged him. In other words, whatever happened during the lunch between her and Tomoya, the plan he implemented succeeded.

It was such an easy job, that Kouta may have thought God was on his side. Since his plan, of course, has a lot of flaws, he uses those weird tropes not only in anime, but in other fictional worlds too.

The thing about the anime world was that there was a trope that easily made people misunderstand. These tropes not only exist in doujin or hentai to help the author move their shallow plot, but they were also used as a gag in anime.

There was even an anime where all of the comedy and their plot came from misunderstandings. The sample was like Gamers and Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun where there were a lot of misunderstood tropes used..

"Why… How… can be…" Eriri said those words in a low voice.

Without saying anything, Kouta smiled and gently hugged her. Eriri's tears slipped out more as Kouta hugged her.

"I don't understand… how can he know it?"  Eriri lets Kouta hug her, and inside her head, she must be really confused.

"I'm sorry, but I don't know anything if you do not tell me what happened…" Kouta said this while pulling her body and head together.

"Ah… Uuu…" Eriri told Kouta what happened while she was still sobbing into his chest as she did. Kouta himself tried to be reassuring, patting Eriri on the head and saying

"Don't worry about it. All that stuff's in the past now. There's no point in getting hung up over it."

"But… still…" The tears from Eriri still flowed and her sobbing made it hard for her to speak.

"It's fine. In the end, it's not your fault." Kouta whispered into her ear.

"Eh…" Eriri was surprised when she heard those words.

"Yeah, all of this is my fault, you know. If you think about it, maybe my advice is bad. But… to think you took it very seriously and failed. It actually amuses me."

"Kou... ta?"

"Well, I'm the man who said I want you to become mine. Do you really think I will really put effort into making sure you really succeed? No… I'm actually giving you some good advice. That's why you see there is some progress, while at the same time I had my own agenda to make sure you failed. "

"You!? Are you perhaps telling Tomoya!"

"Ha… Of course not… I don't think Tomoya knew that we're this close, but at least he knows we're classmates."

"You're a bastard!" 

Eriri pushed Kouta and, surprisingly, punched Kouta's chest several times—softly.

As her punch became weaker and weaker, she said like a broken machine. "It's your fault… your fault… your… fault… ugghh… uu…"

"But to think he would do this because of just some words… I wonder if he had any feelings for you."

"Ugh… Shut up… "I'm never going to believe anything you say... ever again."

"Really? But you really know that I want to make you mine. And I will do anything for it."

Kouta didn't care as long as she became his. It may be an obsession, as Eriri was the first character he saw… She was the one who made him realize what kind of world he was living in, as well as the obsession that she was the first girl he had sex with.

Kouta once again hugged her, circled his hand around her waist. As she didn't struggle for what Kouta did, he drew her closer to him.

"But… I may still love him… I may keep looking at him… longing for him…"

"It's fine… since I will make you forget about him… You may keep loving him, but you will still be mine. Since I will make you forget about him."

Kouta tightened his hug, and she didn't resist him at all. Her face was still in a mess because of her crying. Even so, he still thought she was a really cute and beautiful girl.

Kouta could feel her soft and small body. He wanted to hold this cute girl all day. Before Kouta kissed her lips. No, He pecked her lips as she leaned toward him.

"Ah… Kouta… Yeah… it's all your fault." She said that with a face that was totally defeated, like a little puppy getting scolded. While once again she started to cry again on his chest. And she kept on crying for a while. Eriri, who finished crying some time ago and now had red and puffy eyes, was silent.

She was asleep. Perhaps she was tired of everything.

Kouta brought her to the health room, thankfully since break lunch was already over. There were few spectators. When Kouta laid her down and tried to leave. He felt that Eriri gripped onto his sleeve and didn't want to let him go. So Kouta stayed with her in the health room.

Since there was nothing Kouta could do. She just messaged Satomi about his situation and used this opportunity to rest, or maybe sleep too.

Well, Kouta had time until Eriri woke up, and when she woke up. She realized she had gripped Kouta, blushed briefly before Eriri's expression returned to gloomy, while she eased her grip on Eriri a little and peeked at his face with such a perplexed and confused, very puzzled expression.

Kouta noticed Eriri seemed to be thinking about something very important... She was conflicted for a moment before concluding what she wanted.

In the end, Eriri stared at him with a thin smile on her face.

"Just please… Please make me forget everything…" Eriri said as she gripped him harder and moved slowly toward him. Kouta followed it by hugging her.

"Well… You don't have to worry about that. You will forget about him soon." Kouta said this while grabbing her chin and kissing her. They shared another passionate kiss... as Kouta tried to convince her that the option she had chosen was the best.
