Asuka frowned after seeing her hardly earned points to drop till such extent. The reason was that she had to buy something from the store, a things that was mentioned on the screen.

It felt a little unfair after noticing that this was a hint, or an absolute order that was made just to scam her points. Until now she never had to pay for next route but now she has to. Also her plan to beat the game by earning points just from the mission failed after buying the two objects, both costs one hundred points each.

"Aren't I supposed to be a girlfriend? This sick guy is seriously keeping me like a pet"

After the stupid and sudden confession nothing changed expect from their deal to call each other by first name and Kazuma's surprise gifts.

He always gives her presents but he still didn't fulfill her desire to go outside.

If it wasn't for this number Asuka would've preferred to stay in this comfortable room without being hurt while earning free points from the system.

'It didn't decrease or increase. Is It because we're not meeting each other at all?'

She wondered and also checked on Saito's points.

Unfortunately that wasn't the case. His points have increased from the last time she saw it. Asuka doesn't know how such an expressionless boy would turn into sadistic lovesick puppy like the others but she was still wary.

The last time she trusted Sora, the shiny boy, he betrayed her expectations greatly. She learned her lesson very well; this stupid game can make every crazy thing possible.

"Good afternoon my dear. I've brought a gift for you~"

'Ughh, here we go again'

Asuka got up, dying from annoyance inside her but put up her smile for their little act.

"You bought something for me again! Wow, you're the best"

She sounded so happy and even hugged him willingly. Kazuma's smile also didn't fade as he hugged her back, still hiding the thing in his hand.

"Okay close your eyes... now open. Ta-daa!"

Unlike all the other days, today's gift surprised her the most. She barely suppressed her scream of joy.

"Movie tickets? Are we going on a date?"

'Don't forget to be sweet. Praise him, be gentle and smile'

Reminding herself all of those things, she smiled for the sake of her freedom. She'll make sure to curse him and tell him that his hugs and clingy behaviors are annoying, that she never loved him before going to the next route.

"Yes. I also bought you a lot of clothes. You can pick anything you want but make sure to dress warmly. It's cold outside"

"Sure. I'll be back right away"

'I can finally go outside! Should I escape during the movie and check on Saito? Saito is still better option than Sakura and this guy. As long as I don't see her, her points probably won't raise'

Asuka's expression lightened up at the thought of finishing this hellish route quickly.

Her oh so great boyfriend's points has also dropped since they became couple. It seems like even though she lied obviously, he seems to keep believing in her blindly.

"I'm ready. Let's goooo"

'I can't believe I'm acting like 5 years old.. no, more like Sakura from previous route'

As an adult she felt ashamed from her shameless clingy acts but there was also a person who find it nice and was smiling to himself.

In the future she'll have to act like that forever, with only him in mind. His sweet girlfriend will stay with him without any problem after he get rid of the obstacles.

If those people disappear from her thoughts, she'll have no choice but to think about him.

As they both had plan in mind, a single message popped up in front of her.

*****

"So you decided to watch a horror movie on our first date?"

"Yes. Is there a problem?"

"Well, not really. Let's go"

The movie he decided to watch was a movie about zombie apocalypse and one girl and a guy were trying to survive in it by themselves. Asuka didn't know if such movie exists in her world or not, but she didn't have a speck of desire to watch this cliche typical movie.

She wasn't one to dislike horror movie or became scared of it. She just hates this type of movie, where the love overcomes everything while in reality, the same typical love is destroying her life.

'Good thing I'm not planning to watch this thing'

She sit there, torturing herself by watching the what was supposed to be scary movie before deciding to go to the toilet. Although Kazuma agreed to it without following her, she didn't escape from him yet.

It was like some sort of test to see her patience.

Asuka entered the toilet and took a deep breath, relieved at the fact that she's now alone, not being watched and free for just few moments.

Of course forgetting she's in a cliche yandere otome game was a mistake.

"Long time no see, Yoshino"

Asuka faced the smiling girl on the mirror who was casually standing there as if she just didn't stab her or threatened to sew her mouth few weeks ago.

Gathering all of her courage, she replied back.

"Yeah, long time no see Sakura"
