I Became a Stalker in a Yandere Dating Sim

84 – 84. Why Only These People Around Me

Riding in Erin’s private car, Roxer was driving. For some reason, Erin had been sulking, not responding to any of Roxer’s attempts to engage with her.

Even though she had had girlfriends before, she had never experienced having a female friend and a close male friend at the same time, so she didn’t know how to react.

“Hey.”

“….”

“Why bother taking a car when we could just teleport with magic? With your skills, even if we use teleportation in the city, we could afford the fine, right?”

“…Hah, do you really think it’s feasible to break through the city’s defense barrier and roam around as you please?”

“Huh, can’t you even do that?”

“I can’t?”

“You can’t.”

“……”

Intentionally provoking Erin, Loxer turned her body as if to indicate she should stop talking.

‘What kind of reaction is that?’

Seeing this, Loxer was unsure whether she should treat her like a friend or like a potential romantic interest.

To resolve her doubts, Loxer subtly glanced at her.

“Hey, where did that cute person who was crying cutely in my arms go, legally… No, wait.”

“…What? What did you say?”

“Huh? Crying cutely in my arms?”

Thanks to that, Erin shot Loxer a look of utter disdain.

“Besides that, you said something about ‘ro’ or whatever.”

“Oh, that? Roller.”

“…Is that right?”

“…..”

“Are you suggesting my body is like a loli’s? You pervert.”

As Erin bristled, Loxer quickly turned her head again.

Loxer swallowed the words about Erin being a legal loli that she was about to say.

Honestly, although Erin’s height was around 155cm, she had all the right curves.

It was a fact that even if she became a model for adult magazines, she would never be overlooked, but Loxer didn’t want to know what she would hear if she continued speaking here.

“Are you saying that to the person who took care of you when you were hurt…”

Thanks to that, Erin’s reproachful tone hit hard.

“I helped you too.”

When Loxer retorted, Erin, who let out a deep sigh, for some reason approached him closely.

Grabbing Loxer’s chin, Erin, despite being small in stature, perhaps due to the sunset glow or the unmistakable mature aura that couldn’t be hidden despite looking young, took hold of him firmly.

“You really have no sense.”

In Erin’s deep yet resentful gaze, there was a lot of emotion that Loxer couldn’t quite grasp, so he stared back at her helplessly.

Loxer, whose words were stuck in his throat, wondered if Erin had always been like this as he blinked his eyes.

“…Your hair used to be as yellow as a street thug, your eyes as red as a pervert, and now suddenly turning black…”

Looking at Loxer like that, Erin muttered as she approached him.

“Always speaking ill of others, always harsh with me…”

“That’s because you…!”

“Shut up.”

Erin pressed her chapped lips with her thumb due to Rokse’s difficulty.

A strange atmosphere flowed between the two.

And.

“Gosh, are you really getting nervous over something like this in front of Lori!?”

“…? What?”

Erin let go of Rokse and quickly moved her body towards the window.

Rokse, who had been flustered but quickly regained her composure, approached Erin, who was pretending to look out the window as if nothing had happened.

“Excuse me.”

“….”

“Your ears are all red.”

Rokse, spotting Erin’s ears sticking out like a puppy’s between her brown hair, lightly tapped the tip of her blushing ear.

“Are you a real pervert-!!!”

As if the previous action was a forced attempt to do something, Erin blushed heavily, her sensitive ear caught by Rokse, and she bounced away.

Not wanting to miss the opportunity, Rokse, just like Erin had done, gently held her face.

Perhaps Erin’s face was so small that it fit into Rokse’s rough, large hand, which was now holding her soft and smooth face in one hand.

And maybe because Erin’s body was unusually light.

“…!”

“!”

To repay what Rokse had done, Erin, by just slightly pulling her so she couldn’t breathe, unintentionally leaned on Rokse.

But if they showed any signs of embarrassment now, they would become the losers of the fiercely competitive battle between two stubborn individuals, so they both pretended to be nonchalant.

Of course, Rokse, who had frequently interacted with stunningly beautiful women, had a slight advantage.

‘…Being unnecessarily pretty…!’

Even Erin’s cute face, which could potentially make even Rokse flustered, tried to look indifferent as she gazed up at him.

Erin’s ears were as red as tomato soup.

“Why are you acting like this today of all days?”

“Isn’t that my line?”

Responding to Erin’s indifferent question, Rokse looked at her intently.

“…Stop staring.”

“Why should I?”

“Are you really a pervert… ugh…”

As Erin grumbled and furrowed her brows, Rokse couldn’t deny her words.

It was partly because of the beauty of Jane, the protagonist who was antagonistic in the original work, and Rica, who was still full of life, that they hadn’t drifted apart.

But they couldn’t retreat.

For some reason, retreating here felt like losing something.

In the end, Erin turned her face away as if she was feeling upset.

“Hah, I win this staring contest.”

As Rokse breathed a sigh of relief, Erin’s words scratched at her insides with a considerable sting.

Now Erin should get angry and snap back… but for some reason, instead of getting angry, Erin spoke frankly.

“It’s embarrassing, you fool.”

The atmosphere deteriorated with just that one word.

Erin, as if urging him to feel embarrassed too, held onto Rockser’s hand that was gripping her face and gazed at him intently.

Unaware that the car had stopped, a strange air flowed between the two.

“Oh my, have you started dating that boy while our little troublemaker was away?”

Accompanied by the sound of tapping on the window, Erin’s grandmother, whom they had met before going sightseeing at the double helix tower, looked at the two with a warm smile.

“I was worried because in the knight tales, you were always with other girls, but it seems our granddaughter has her own beau~”

“Grandma!?!!”

Erin’s face turned bright red at her grandmother’s warm demeanor.

Thanks to this, Rockser and Erin had no choice but to eat their meal reluctantly, enduring Grandma’s teasing like, ‘Oh, the latte~’ and ‘Your grandpa looked just like you when he was young~.’

“Ugh.”

Rockser, who seemed off due to overeating, returned from the hospital and looked up at the night sky from the rooftop.

Thanks to Erin trying to set him up with her, he even received the in-law treatment.

“If Lica finds out, she’ll be bouncing off the walls.”

Rockser stroked his chest while shivering on the rooftop.

During his fainting spell, he couldn’t see the hero’s mask and the mage’s grip that were in his inventory, whether the blurry dream was real.

Although Erin’s grandmother had conveyed that she felt the power of the hero’s mask she threw at him, it seemed to be true.

“I didn’t want to be chosen for that kind of thing.”

With a bitter smile, he felt his body lighten.

It seemed like he had seen young Rockser’s grim past in that dream or reality, but for some reason, he couldn’t remember it well.

However, after successfully completing the 4th Awakening, the level of power flowing through his body was exceptional.

Especially, a considerable amount of power was condensed as if being sucked into his heart.

“Seems like the flow of magic and power around me remains the same.”

Rockser chuckled, feeling like he was drawing power from another space.

At that moment, he felt someone approaching him.

“Oh! Rockser, are you okay?”

“Sielle? Wait, was I asleep?”

The one approaching was none other than Sielle, her silver hair fluttering.

“You seem fine, luckily. How about Camilla?”

“Camilla?”

He greeted her roughly as she approached.

“I used my Pain Transfer on you because your pain was too severe, and I fainted several times too!? I’ve been treating you all day, and now I’m exhausted.”

She approached with a cheerful tone, as if something good had happened.

“Uh… yeah, thanks.”

Rockser couldn’t tell if he should tease her for saying she was happy to transfer pain, or if he should be grateful for her casualness, not knowing if such a thing was common.

But her approach, with a cheerful air as if she had met a friend from a foreign land, was enough to tease her.

“Do you have something good to share?”

Rockser questioned, looking at Sielle leaning against the rooftop railing.

In response, Sielle smiled slyly and winked.

“I saw it, when you protected Rika and Jane from being corrupted. When you shielded them with your entire being.”

“That’s nothing. I formed the team and took responsibility for protecting them because we were going together.”

“No, not that.”

“Hmm?”

Rokse thought Siel was about to say something awkward, but to his surprise, Siel approached with a smile in his eyes between strands of hair.

Siel, emitting a sense of contentment, grabbed Rokse’s hand firmly, as he asked with an awkward smile, “Why are women acting like this today?”

Rokse, feeling puzzled, asked, “What’s going on?”

Siel, with a gentle laughter, held Rokse’s hand tighter.

“Rokse!”

“Yes?”

“You’re a masochist too!?”

“…?”

“Don’t be embarrassed. I was too, you knooow~”

Rokse was dumbfounded by the unexpected masochistic treatment.
