Otome game in a reality

Hidden route; 9. The system is bugged

"Good morning"

Asuka was greeted by Usato's usual cold voice as the first thing in the morning. He wasn't talking as much as yesterday as he just stood there, observing her with an unreadable expression.

"I wanna go to the bathroom"

"Sure"

To her surprise he unchained her and pointed towards a simple door which she assumed as the bathroom.

When she entered , she spotted her towel, comb and even the shampoo she uses regularly which is supposed to be in her dormitory. It made her cringe a lot, nonetheless she just brushed it off.

'Yeah, since he easily kidnapped me, then entering my room won't be a problem. No need to panick'

"System"

Putting her thoughts aside, she called out the thing that is supposed to accompany her from the day she came to this world until the day she leaves. Though she used to wish for the screen to just disappear from her vision, it was necessary since the game is still continuing.

However contrary to her expectations, the so called 'system' has really disappeared, leaving her all alone without any guide in this crazy world. She can't buy items, get side missions or track her points anymore. Hell, she doesn't even know if she reached the bad ending or not.

With a sigh, she first decided to take a nice shower. Of course only after double-checking if there's any surveillance cameras or not, can she enjoy her privacy.

When she went back, Usato was still standing next to her bed, looking through the window, deep in thought.

"Are you done?"

"Yeah"

"Then come here and put these on"

She sighed at the sight of the long chains. Certainly being chained wasn't such a nice experience.

"Can't I just stay like this? Since I don't know where I am, it's futile even if I try to escape right?"

'I'll try to escape anyway. Let's wait until the system started responding. Katsuragi might be able to save me'

It hurts her pride to rely on one of the yanderes that might mostly try to lock her up just like the others but at least Katsuragi won't hurt her and actually cares aboit her feelings even if it's a little bit.

"That.. Is that painful?"

He suddenly asked, pointing towards her right hand.

Yesterday due to anger he tugged it rather harshly which left a small bruise. It wasn't much but Usato was staring at it as if her hand was cut off.

"It doest hurt"

"I'm sorry"

"You don't have to apologize. It's not like the bruise will heal suddenly with your apology anyway"

Asuka was afraid but still angry. That's probably why she was able to make an eye contact with his trembling eyes that looked ready to cry.

Before she could even understand why he was like this, the boy rushed and hugged her tightly, his tall fugure slightly bowing down to reach her height.
