Chapter 39: If All Else Failed, I Still Went Big!

Yu’s pupils glowed a man-eating red, and her beautiful face showed a sombre chill.

Chen Yuan saw that look only when she killed and blood spurted everywhere.

When Chen Yuan met her eyes, the corners of her mouth even rose.

He swallowed. The scene reminded him of a horror game where a yandere kept chasing the player; her current smile felt just as frightening as the time he played that game alone in a pitch-black room.

If this were a game, Chen Yuan already wanted to hit “exit.”

He felt the corpse growing warm…

The next instant the force binding him vanished, and Clovie used her magic to free him.

Chen Yuan’s affection for Clovie went up again.

Yu said, “Advanced magic, the Power of Ice and Snow. No wonder you dare bark in front of me.”

Clovie ignored her and said with disdain, “You keep saying you like Chen Yuan. Is this what you call love?”

Yu saw straight through Clovie’s mind and answered in a mocking tone, “I have my own way of loving him—unlike you.”

Women knew women, and rivals sensed each other like Spider-Man’s spider sense.

When the two started again, Chen Yuan hurried to change the subject. “Um, Yu, where do you plan to live…?”

While speaking, he inched toward Clovie and winked at her—both to comfort her and to tell her to behave.

His eyes seemed to say, “Easy, she’s crazy. Let’s not stoop to her level. Teacher is on your side.”

Clovie caught the hint, so this time she quietly withdrew her aura.

A little thing called the will to win felt satisfied, and she no longer bothered with a certain clown.

Yu answered sweetly and reasonably, “Of course I live with you.”

Chen Yuan coughed. “Uh… then I’ll tidy a room for you…”

Clovie kept her hostility; she knew the silent war had begun.

Yu added, “Why tidy another room? I share yours.”

Clovie’s eyes widened. “No way!”

Chen Yuan thought, I never agreed either…

Clovie looked straight at him, cheeks red. “If she shares, then I share too!”

What are you stirring up for?! Chen Yuan groaned.

“I’ll go make up a room.” He rubbed his forehead and left. There was no way he could allow that arrangement.

Yet he could not drive Yu out.

First, it was unsafe for her.

Second, everything started because of him.

With Clovie here, Yu probably would not hurt him—

Well… she just demonstrated how she could pin him in place…

Probably with Clovie here she could not do anything worse.

Yu traded another glare with Clovie, then followed Chen Yuan. “Sharing a bed isn’t bad. I’m very comfy~ Try it~”

Clovie’s brows knitted. How could that woman say such things out loud?

She hurried after them to monitor the situation.

Chen Yuan sighed.

He asked while clearing a spare room, “By the way, what name do you use in this world?”

This time he would never ask whether she wanted his own room.

Living with two girls—one of them a textbook yandere—meant a boy must protect himself.

Better to stay out of trouble and avoid midnight bathroom misunderstandings.

Hmm… he felt he might be the one seen instead…

Yu replied, “Yu Liusu.”

“I’m Chen Yuan, so stop calling me Falz,” he said.

“Oh~ no wonder I couldn’t find you before; you really changed names.”

When Clovie arrived, Chen Yuan told her his name right away, and she usually called him Teacher, so it caused no confusion.

Yu, however, kept asking for “Falz” everywhere.

“But I still want to call you Falz—my Darling Falz~”

A chill ran down Chen Yuan’s spine; his scalp tingled.

He felt no charm at all, only immense pressure.

She looked as good as Clovie—if Clovie was snow-white purity, Yu was the opposite extreme, a seductive darkness.

Yet Chen Yuan truly could not handle a girl who could sleep hugging an urn.

If he slipped once, he might take a knife in and pull it out red.

What he had to do resembled a dating sim: correct her through daily life.

This time no main quest guided him, so he felt even less confident.

As for his feelings, with Clovie he shared a bond of teacher and daughter; toward Yu he felt more like a doctor to a patient, a savior to the saved.

Firefighters grew depressed when they failed to save a jumper.

Chen Yuan felt hurt because, after all he did, she grew even more extreme.

He bore responsibility for her state.

Yet the two girls’ feelings toward him had already twisted beyond recognition.

Chen Yuan worked fast on the room.

Clovie had good sense; she could not bear to see him toil alone and helped right away.

Yu, busy flirting a moment ago, suddenly realized she had been outplayed this round.

Even helping a love rival tidy a room—Clovie actually endured it?!

I underestimated her, Yu thought, eyes narrowing.

Chen Yuan felt warm when Clovie helped. This daughter was worth raising.

Soon the room was ready. Checking the time, Chen Yuan headed out to cook.

Only then did he find Yu nowhere in sight.

He reached the living room and heard clanging in the kitchen.

Oh no!

Someone was starting the Fourth Shinobi World War in his kitchen!

Yu’s thought was simple: she lost the previous exchange, so she must win this one.

It was a matter of sovereignty.

Her first plan was, “A melon forced off the vine is still sweet.”

If Chen Yuan refused, she would simply take him by force.

But with Clovie here, that might make Chen Yuan hate her—

And with a rival around all the time, her heart felt unbalanced.

So she had to declare her sovereignty.

If that failed, she still had to go big!
