A/N: when our mc uses El it's when his mask as 'Shimazaki Towa' breaks. Thinking as the yandere and schemer El. Using any means necessary for his own gain.

When he's using Towa, it means he's playing the role of a 'sickly genius heir to a fallen family and soft spoken person with good manners'

➊➋

1 week in and Towa bonded with Lily quite fast. Earning Nurse Layla's trust too. But still, the Leviathan is good at covering up their mafia business.

He shouldn't have known this but reading snippets from the storyline is worth it.

Except the occasional slip up that Nurse Layla made, other than that it's good.

He rarely see Zack around and he didn't have the chance to bond with him and just...find out why the hell is he so familiar with the man ?

Is it because he shows signs of being System Happy?

But in the last world when Leophylis remembered a fragment of System Happy's lost memories, he changed completely. He even sucked in System Happy too.

Is it because System Happy is inside Zack's body ? He overheard Dr. Carl stating his worries because Zack's oddly white colored hair turned half black in just a week.

Yes Zack is cheerful and playful. Sometimes even outright childish, but he doesn't feel like System Happy. Their eye color may be the same and they feel so....familiar. But El knew—Towa knew— he's not his System Happy.

Once he found that system of his, he'll slap him. Yes, slap. He'll give him those bitch slap girls always do to a jerk in his country.

"Ugh....this is taking a toll on me and my body..."

Towa did not expect that he would feel the pain and etc the body has. He would thought, with all of this OPness, he would be excused from bearing the same sickness the original has. But noo, Fate always makes things rough for him.

His current progress was creating a blog and post some inspirational quotes in it.

Which is 'bullshitting the hell out of my way to be a motivator'.

He's a thief alright ? Taking advantages that this is a whole new world with no Eric Thomas in it.

He felt bad but at the same time...

Desperate measures call for desperate times.

His blog is flooded with people either liking it or just outright disliking it. He doesn't mind. Those who took their time to dislike and post hates about his blog makes him more rich anyway.

He's still using Dr. Carl's phone too. He must thread carefully. But Dr. Carl is too careless. To give Towa his phone, not a spare one.

What is he doing ?

Both Dr. Carl and Sir Carl should not be this careless. He should be grateful that Towa didn't open any of the apps except google.

Towa sighed. He then remembered his comversation with Lily this morning,

"There will be a ball tomorrow night, all of the important guests will attend"

"Ball?"

Lily covered her mouth. "Ah..well yeah. Leviathan is a powerful family. Of course we held a ball occasionally. Because we rarely held a ball, the guests will not miss it. Leviathan's Ballroom Party is always the best ! Many important people from other families across the world will attend.."

Lily fidgeted with her fingers. "I was...wondering if you wanted t..to...come ?"

Lily continued with her face red, "ah! I'm so sorry ! You're sick !!" She hit herself in the head lightly. "I'll bring foods to you ! Don't—"

Towa smiled. "It's okay. I haven't gone out of the Hospital for years. I rarely see parties like this. I don't want to miss it, of course ! You said Leviathan's party is the best, right ?"

Lily felt betrayed and tried to convince the other not to go. She could be punished by her mother and Sir Carl ! Even she herself worried about Towa's state.

"I—"

Towa smiled and Lily feels like she's in a garden full of flowers. This hit her hard in the heart.

"....this is a sin.."

Towa laughed. "I'm sorry"

Lily sighed. "I'll stick close to you for the whole duration of the party. I was wrong to invite you ! Uuuu—"

"Then do you regret me joining you?" Towa asked slowly. Lily quickly answered while raising both of her arms in defense "Eh—no. I'm flattered and blessed you are able to join me...but i'm worried..."

Towa chuckled. "Get me a suit. We'll talk about that later"

Lily sighed. She dropped her arms in defeat. "...fine... I'M GOING TO STICK TO YOU LIKE A GLUE OKAY ?!"

Towa shook his head in exasperation.

Remembering that, Towa chuckled. It's been a week since he's known the girl, but she's persistent and protective around him when she heard his story.

The first time he met her, she's formal and...a bit distant. But she warmed up to him as they bonded over silly things.

His mind switched to the ball tomorrow night. El admitted that this is the first time he went to a ball. He can dance of course, as a schemer he must be multi talented, but he never went to a ball.

He's not rich, or so he remembers, he has some famous and rich friends too but he never went to a ball if invited.

Why ? Because when he went to a friend's small birthday party, which by the way can be called a small ball but without dress code and all that jazz, he's often mistaken as a girl.

He get it, he has a girly face and sometimes used it for his own gain, but he didn't want a fucking one night stand thank you.

He hoped tomorrow night he won't be mistaken as a girl. Even Towa in this world is skinny and has a girly face. Because he's sick, he's holding back from learning martial arts.

In the next world, he's going to learn some martial arts !

If there's ever a next time. But El knew, System Happy must be somewhere in this world. And to do that, he needed to attract the man's attention. To become viral in internet is the first thing.

He doesn't need to scheme right now, maybe until the ball, because there will be a lot of wolves dressed in a sheep's clothing there.

Right now he's just enjoying his boring and slow day, waiting for Nurse Layla or Dr. Carl for his check up.

Maybe Zack....

That man is a box of mystery and El hates it.

He sighed and silently opened a book titled 'The Art of War'

"Bossu, Here's the invitation for the Leviathan Ball"

An envelope was placed gently on top of a black table, the man who placed it bowed and left.

A gloved hand picked the envelope up before opening the seal gently. He hummed while taking out the neatly folded paper inside.

While reading the invitation, he tapped his fingers on the table. "Hmm...they are going to be extra this year. We have to be careful...." He murmured.

"Why did they invite me anyway ? Any idea, Lucas ?"

The man turned his head to his right. A tall man dressed in black nodded. He fixed his sunglasses before speaking up, "The Leviathan's Ball is always over the top, sir. They are holding it every five years, so it's normal for them to make extravagant....but from our spy there, the Leviathan seems to be hiding someone...."

The man chuckled before laughing out loud. "Pfft— are they a secret lover of our dear Zaccary ? Ahh, that kid is so funny. He finally has a lover now ?" he ran his fingers along his blonde locks before pinching the bridge of his nose.

"Boss, our next stage of the plan is almost in full motion. We're just waiting for the Ball to come" Lucas stated calmly, watching his odd boss laugh maniacally.

"S-sure. Yeah" the man ripped the envelope in half and crumpling it to a ball. He then threw the envelope in his fireplace.

"Let's take the fastest plane to Italy and we're set" he continued.

"Our pilot is ready sir" Lucas said. His boss beamed at him. "You're getting a pay raise!"

Lucas bowed. "I'm honored sir, Thank you" he straightened his pose. Lucas watched as the odd man strode out of his office with grace and...odd cheerfulness.

His boss is always weird. But as a close friend and his Right Hand Man, he wouldn't want to serve anyone other than this odd person.

For that man saved his and his mother's life.
