The Otome game mob character accidentally broke the game's progression and story

Chapter 34

It was now late into the night, just some minutes before the time that Atsuko usually went to sleep as she right now was standing in front of the room that Edward had been given at the Neville Estate.

"..."

Her face was red at the thought of having her first night together with a boy, who she had also officially engaged herself to, just a few hours ago, and not considering the time just before now, that she spent with Edward alongside Lysette and Nanako, as the three tried to treat him as nicely as possible since it was his birthday as well.

But, they all "failed" at that, since it either ended with Edward giving them headpats, or when they tried to make a dessert for him, that he had to intervene and salvage their mess, only to end up giving the three the salvaged remains of their dessert, while he got nothing, not that he was angry at not having any.

And for Atsuko, who not only had practically forced Edward to be engaged with her but also received a present from him in the form of a hairpin he bought for her during their date at the city earlier today, it felt really painful for her as she was unable to give anything back to him.

As such thoughts and feelings gripped her mind, Atsuko was only able to stand in front of the door of Edward's room, unable to knock it to announce her arrival. But then, the door knob began turning by itself, allowing the door to be open.

"Ah, Atsuko-sama. Why didn't you knock on the door?"

"..."

Atsuko simply looked away as her cheeks flushed red even more, as she only became more aware of what she would be doing that night.

"... I see, in any case, Atsuko-sama. Please come in"

"... *Nods*"

Edward at seeing Atsuko acting shy, simply showed his usual gentle smile to her and invited her inside this room, which she entered without any resistance. But once inside, she saw that she and Edward were the only ones in the room.

"E-Edward-sama, W-where are Lysette-sama and N-Nanako-san a-at?"

"Hmm... Probably steeling themselves in their rooms, I suppose?"

"I-I see..."

"..."

As Edward sat down on his bed, he looked at Atsuko who was still acting shy just from being alone with him inside his room. And the more he kept looking at her, he couldn't help but...

"Pfft! Hehehe..."

"W-What's so funny, E-Edward-sama?"

Atsuko's embarrassed voice also had a hint of annoyance in as well as she asked Edward why he started to laugh.

"I just thought that it was quite cute and funny, how you're acting now, compared to our date earlier"

"Eh? D-Date?"

"Yes? Although I only noticed a little while ago, but when you think about it. If a boy and girl have a stroll around the city while holding hands, isn't that a date?"

"... ... ...!!!"

Hearing him say such a thing, caused Atsuko's embarrassment to grow even more as her face became bright red, as she also puffed her cheeks, from a bit of anger due to her also being teased by Edward. And so, because of that, she stepped forward and sat right next to Edward, as she hugged his arm and rested her head on his shoulder.

"Now that's more like the Atsuko-sama from this afternoon"

At seeing Atsuko act a bit spoiled, Edward began patting her hair, even though they just got engaged a few hours ago, the two still spent almost an entire month interacting with each other. In other words, that meant that even though Edward wasn't sure if he was really in love with Atsuko yet, he still quite liked her to be able to flirt with her, and now that they were going to be together until Atsuko decided to break their engagement, Edward would do his best to love Atsuko just as he loves Lysette and Nanako.
