Chapter 45: I Like You (1/2)

I keep looking at the closed door for a while, in shock of what happened just now.

[You are fucked up, buddy…]

F-Fucked up… B-But why? Why did Rebecca run away?

[I am sorry to say but I guess she probably hates you. I cannot think of any reason other than that. ¯_(ツ)_/¯]

Rebecca… hates me?

[Buddy, you had sex with her once and didn’t contact her for days after. You don’t think any girl would like that exactly, do you? And please don’t misunderstand, I am not saying that it’s your fault. You were in pretty fucked up situation.]

I-I guess. But still, how come I am not dead yet? My poison…

[Hmm… The most possible reason for that is the glitch.]

Glitch? Even in a death poison?

[Yeah. I think it means that you won’t die even if any permanent woman stops loving you, or even if she cheats on you.]

R-Really… I guess it’s good then…

[…]

What?

[YOU PIECE OF FILTHY SHIT! YOU CUCK! HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT IT’S GOOD IF YOUR WOMAN CHEATS ON YOU!? YOU SHOULD KILL YOURSELF IF THAT HAPPENS EVEN BEFORE THE SYSTEM COULD!!! DIE IN HELL AND ROT THERE, IDIOT!!!]

Woah, Woah, Woah! Calm down, okay? I never said that it’s good if any of my women cheats on me! I just meant that it’s a good thing that I am alive and all.

I will never let my woman cheat on me… Ever.

[Oh, sorry…Just… just try to be a bit clearer, okay? You really angered me there. You already know what my motto for women is: Stealing is good, getting stolen from is bad.]

Yeah, I know.

[And losing your woman is really bad in general as well! So, think about something to make Rebecca love you again. Let me help you with the first step: talk to her.]

I know that. But the question is, How?

[Hmm… How about entering through the window you escaped from last time?]

That… That is a good idea!

[I know, right? Just hope someone doesn’t see you and call the cops…]

Yeah…

I start running forward in full speed towards hedges.

[Hey, hey, wait! What the fuck are you doing!?]

What? I am jumping over the hedge.

[Idiot, you are not in beast awakening right now. You will just break your neck if you go in this way! And why are you even bothering to do this? Just enter through the freaking front gate.]

Oh… I-I am just a bit stressed.

[Yeah, right…]

I move sideways and enter through the front gate.

Fortunately, the window in question is wide open like it was that day I ran away from here. I peek inside and it looks like there is no one here.

Rebecca much be in her room upstairs…

With a little difficulty, I climb inside and thus, enter the house.

This place is exactly like I remember it, neat, clean and beautiful. The television seems to be on, so I decide to take a look at the living room but there is no one there as well.

I guess Rebecca must be watching it before…

[Don’t waste time snooping around! Go to her room!]

I am not snooping around or anything! I was just checking if Rebecca was there!

[Yeah, yeah. Move your ass.]

Slowly, I move up the stairs while trying to be as quiet as possible. I don’t want Rebecca to hear me and just close her room from the inside.

Fortunately, it doesn’t take me much time to find Rebecca’s room as there are only 3 rooms upstairs and I also remember in which one I woke the other day.

I put my hand on the doorknob…

Please don’t be too angry with me Rebecca.

… and open the door to enter inside.

“J-Jacob!?”

Rebecca jumps up from the bed as soon as she sees me entering inside. Her long blond hairs are loose and her beautiful blue eyes are tinged red with tears flowing and running down her smooth cheeks.

It looks like she was trying to cry herself to sleep…

Fuck! This is bad… I need to apologize to her fast.

I took a step forward…

“Rebecca, I am really—”

“Don’t come near me!” she shrieks loudly while jumping back on the bed.

I stop moving, shocked by this extreme reaction.

Seriously? Does she hate me so much that she won’t even let me come close?
