Chapter 166 - 49 - Intermission That Changed The Perception (part 1)

Burushitto was laying in her bed completely heartbroken. Not only her fiance was taken away from her, but also the bullying, which was already bad, has gotten even worse.
She had no energy nor motivation whatsoever to get up – but at the same time, she knew that she could not stay like that for much longer.
"Think, Buru, think!"
Burushiitto said out loud, biting her lips while rubbing her eyes reddened from crying past the few days.
"What went wrong?"
The blond-haired girl turned on the lamp on her nightstand and raised her hand to start counting on her fingers.
"The second prince's route was definitely abnormal, the events went way too fast and about half of them were entirely gone and the rest had wrong timing – a few even molded together – still, except for that damned supporter tricking him, my poor Surou was mostly as he was in the game – I would even say he was even better because he was so shy and hopeful..."
She straightened her pinky and her chin trembled as she thought about the blue-haired boy losing his calm.
"His route was clearly intertwined with Zoemi's route... It might be that I screwed everything over for my Surou because I healed that guy up... ugh...!|
She straightened her ring finger and gritted her teeth.
"The more I think about the more it seems like this world is just a game...!"
Burushiitto cried out, kicking up her feet and covering her face with her hands.
"I honestly wanted to treat it like the real world – but how the hell could I after witnessing all that?! That was a stupid bad end event playing right out of the game! All the surrounding people acted like the NPCs and nothing else, no brain for their own...!"
She declared furiously, blind to the difference between other students not being able to do anything and not doing anything because of their social status and the social status of their families.
The blond heroine's biggest problem is that although she was reborn into the new world, she still carried the rules and morals of her previous world in her heart.
...which is why she couldn't understand why at the beginning of the year even before the bullying started some students ofter refused to respond to her greetings or did not even acknowledge her existence...
She learned some common sense after the first month but it was already when the bullying started – and she was brutally put into her place as a commoner when Miriette smashed her nose because of the way she talked.
...but while she was thinking about the dark-haired girl, another thought came to her mind and she raised her hands back up.
"Slutiette seems to have a great relationship with the first prince – though, honestly, they are worth each other for all care...!"
Burushiitto scoffed to herself.
"But if things are supposed to be just like in the game, then why does nothing connects her with the bullying! That's bullshit! I cannot use any information I remember to protect myself!"
She cursed and straightened her middle finger.
"And how could I forget that this dumb villainess is just too OP!? What the hell!? She can fly! FLY! How is that fair!? That wasn't stated in the game!"
The heroine raised her head over the pillow and squinted her eyes.
"Is that something that the DLC has changed? If this world is in fact not real and is only a game that is completely different from what I remember because of the implementation of the new character and how the entire plot changed because of him... then... that would actually make sense..."
The blond girl gulped down her saliva and sat up on her bed a little bit too fast and everything went dark for a second.
"...no... could it really be...?"
She muttered to herself, gripping the edge of the mattress.
"Could this al not be real...? What if I can load a save or something...? Could I change the outcome of what happened...?"
Burushitto trembled, thinking about the possibilities.
"No... wait... the game didn't have autosave – I clearly remember losing a ton of progress on my first playthrough when the power suddenly went off... If this is a game, then how do I save...?"
She stood up and started walking around her room deep in thoughts.
"...no..."
But then she suddenly stopped, frozen in place.
"The more important question is – how would I load the save... Back in the real world I just had to open the menu – but now I don't see the menu at all – what if I have to close the game or something..."
The blond girl muttered to herself – not even realizing that she already started calling her old world the 'real' one, separating herself from her current one.
"...but... wouldn't the equivalent of that to me dying..?"
Burushiitto whispered in a trembling voice as her eyes met the sewing kit – especially the scissors – that she had to lay out on the dresser – and she gulped down her saliva as she subconsciously raised her hand to her throat.
"...it... it would be best to not explore that yet... what should I do next is to try and get some others capture targets on my side so we could get Surou out of trouble! Maybe even Zoemi – he owes me for healing him...!"
The blond heroine clenched her fist and made a confident expression...
"...right...?"
...that crumbled almost instantly leaving only uncertainty and fear...
"The acceleration happened only with the Surou's route – as far as I can tell all the other capture targets – whose routes I know of – have their events happen in with the proper timing... no that I bother completing any of them since I only want Surou..."
She sniffled to herself, looking pitifully to the side.
"Since Zoemi seemed to want to help us but couldn't really make a move with both Horeo and Slutiette right in front of him without getting in trouble – maybe he will be most willing to help me out...?"
Burushiitto furrowed her brows and tilted her head.
"That's a huge risk though since I don't know anything about his route and events besides the fact that they are dangerous and messed up... Still – he is a yandere – so maybe if I will offer to help him out with getting together with his master, he will return the favor?"
She considered carefully.
"...still... that makes me worried that his route would include something horrible like assassinating the first prince – in that case, any sort of involvement with him would turn against me really fast..."
She shook her head rejecting the idea out of the bat – when suddenly...
*knock* *knock* *knock*
"!!!"
A sudden knocking made the blond girl jump up and cower in shock.
Who might have it been at such a late hour...?
"...?"
Burushiitto glanced at the window – the moon and the stars were clearly visible on the jet black sky without a single cloud out there to block them.
|Should I pretend that I am asleep...?|
The blond girl gulped down her saliva and hesitated, staring at the door while trembling, making the shadow she cast upon the wall danced in unease....
