Chapter 4: The Main Plot Begins
[Debuffs have been removed!]
[SYSTEM NOTICE: Main Plotline Triggered!]
[Congratulations! You have successfully secured your first target]
[New Love Target: Evelyn Ashbourne]
[Affection Points: -5]
Evelyn's lips were soft, like melting clouds, warm and delicate, especially now that the horrible debuffs had finally lifted.
But just as she was beginning to process that strangely pleasant sensation, the weight of a hundred burning stares pressed into her back like daggers.
She immediately released herself away, frantically looking around, and only now did the gravity of her actions fully sink in.
"Oh, uh—I'm sorry!" she blurted, grasping Evelyn's shoulders in an attempt to comfort the girl. But the moment their eyes met, Evelyn's big, glassy, teary orbs stared back at her like a kicked puppy.
What have I done!? New target, my ass! She looks traumatized!
Meanwhile, Raphael was malfunctioning. His mouth opened and closed like a fish gasping for air, his pupils shaking as if his entire worldview had just shattered.
