In Haruko's original script, she was supposed to pretend to be a yandere.
Act out a feeling of anger, blacken by about 3 times, and fight back and forth with Sento.
Or she could blacken a bit more, making him feel a bit of trepidation towards her, thus temporarily ignoring his relationship with Ichiko, and by the way, harvest a wave of emotional value.
This way, Sento's attention would shift from Ichiko to herself. It would be best if she could make him feel that she was not to be trifled with, and that even he, the Son of Fortune, had to retreat three steps.
What Haruko wanted was to first change Sento's impression of her. He had always disliked her and would only continuously target her.
If he was afraid, and she then deliberately showed estrangement from Ichiko, she might be ignored by him.
As long as he didn't interfere too much with her role as Ichiko's 'ordinary female friend', Haruko would have plenty of opportunities to bend her lovely Ichiko.
But Haruko never expected that the content performed by this Intermediate Acting skill would be something even she herself could barely keep up with.
Could it be that Sento's male protagonist halo was too strong, greatly weakening this skill?
Her acting in front of Ichiko and Shin was perfectly fine as usual. It was also playing a yandere, so why was it full of flaws this time?
Plans can't keep up with changes. She didn't expect the System to have a problem at this time!
Now the knife had slipped and stabbed him in the thigh.
Never mind, just keep fainting.
Haruko closed her eyes peacefully, one hand hidden under her abdomen due to her posture, ready to buy another small knife from the System store at any time in case of an accident.
Alas, Kai has led me astray!
[...]
[Host, the Acting skill has actually been in use and has never stopped. You can't blame me for this!]
"Then I was so angry, why didn't I blacken?"
[Hen!]
Moreover, acting angry, can that be considered anger?
The System stated that he didn't want to take the blame.
Things had come to this point, and Haruko's 'faint' after falling flat had become a fact.
And Sento, after a burst of pain, gritted his teeth and looked at Haruko with lingering fear in his eyes, "This guy, she's actually a yandere."
Sento knew a little about anime, but not much.
He hadn't thought of killing Haruko, at most it was intimidation and control, but he didn't expect this guy to actually want to kill him.
Does she want to keep me here forever?
Hiss—
The anger in Sento's eyes gradually faded. The pain brought him back to his senses and he focused on treatment.
He called his private Doctor to come over, and after a simple treatment, he looked at Haruko, who had been helped to the sofa by the Doctor and was sleeping soundly.
Sento tapped his index finger on the table like this, staring unblinkingly at Haruko's cute little face.
Doesn't look like it.
Not at all!
She was completely different from the Haruko in his memory who was short and awkward, with foundation on her face thicker than the dirt on the soles of her shoes.
If he didn't think it was too bizarre, compared to facing the reality that Haruko was a yandere beautiful girl, Sento would rather think that this guy had changed completely from the inside out.
Humans are visual creatures.
When appearance surpasses a certain level.
Short becomes petite.
Awkward becomes clumsy and cute.
The madness that hindered her relationship with Ichiko again and again, instantly transformed into an extreme, pathological love.
Is it because she likes me that she used to target Ichiko like that, and even broke off her sister relationship with Ichiko?
And now, why is she approaching Ichiko again?
Sento kept thinking, his face still extremely gloomy.
A big reason why he fell in love with Ichiko was that Ichiko had a different temperament from ordinary girls.
Gentle, meticulous, strong, not bending for money and power, as sacred as a ray of moonlight, making people look up to her but unable to reach her, unable to generate a single thought of disrespect.
Sento believed that such a girl was unique in the world.
But now, this guy lying on the sofa in front of him was the person that the girl he considered unique valued.
Looking at Haruko, Sento's face became even gloomier.
Sento sat in the living room until dark.
No one knew what he was thinking, but Haruko felt immense pressure.
She had been waiting for Sento to leave, and then she would wake up and muddle through.
But this guy had been waiting for her to wake up.
Haruko held on for another half an hour, but she couldn't help but wake up first. As soon as she sat up, she met those deep eyes, which made her feel a little guilty.
Sento raised an eyebrow, "Looking at your eyes, have you returned to normal? What, you don't want to keep me anymore?"
Haruko lowered her head slightly, not daring to answer.
Sento snorted coldly, "Speak, since you hate Ichiko so much, what is your purpose in approaching her?"
"Purpose?" Half of Haruko's eyes were covered by her bangs, and she looked at Sento with a deliberately sinister expression, "Of course, it's to snatch her away from you!"
"Snatch... snatch away?"
Sento was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand what Haruko meant.
Haruko chuckled, "Yes, you care about Ichiko very much, right? I will snatch her away from you and make her my possession!"
Upon hearing this, Sento stood up with a'swish', "Snatch her away? You? A girl?"
"So what? No matter what, you can't be with her!"
"Heh, hahahahaha!" Sento covered his face and laughed loudly, looking at Haruko mockingly, "It's really something you could think of such a method. Ichiko is not that kind of girl. She will only like me and will definitely marry me in the future."
"You..."
Haruko's crimson eyes suddenly became deep, with a hint of madness spreading, "What did you say?!"
Her entire aura was completely different from before, as if if Sento said one more word, Haruko would rush up and fight him again!
Sento himself didn't expect Haruko to have such a big reaction when Ichiko was mentioned.
I just mentioned her, and you look like you're about to blacken.
Do you really like me that much?
A hint of complexity was added to Sento's eyes. He was a little unsure how to deal with Haruko.
Warn her?
Looking at this, it seems useless no matter what.
Be ruthless with her?
It would be fine if Ichiko didn't find out, but once Ichiko discovered a hint, the already tense relationship might completely break down.
At that time, Inari or Shin, those two guys, would take advantage of the situation, and he, Sento, would never have a chance again.
Hiss—
How about... just ignore her?
No, that won't do. I'm not sure what kind of actions she will take towards Ichiko!
Even if she likes me, that must be ruled out. The danger factor of a yandere is still too great!
Sento's gaze became fierce. He stood up and was about to pressure Haruko, answering her question from before, "I said, you stinky woman, stop thinking about Ichiko. She's mine!"
His possessiveness towards Ichiko was no less than Haruko's.
However, this sentence was like a knife, piercing the thin layer of acting on Haruko.
The emotions that were originally hidden suddenly erupted, and her crimson eyes gradually turned into eerie and aggressive vertical pupils.
"Sento!"
With a 'clang', Haruko took out a knife and stepped forward, stabbing straight towards Sento's kidney.
It wasn't until this moment that Sento slowly reacted.
This guy was acting just now!
Her yandere target is Ichiko!
