Chapter 3
You took a deep breath, and with shaking knees, you slowly walked towards the open clubroom doors.
You froze at the sight of the male version of Yuri, and Natsuki.
Yuri still has his dark purple hair, and light purple eyes. His aura, just like the original girl version, expresses maturity and sophistication.
Natsuki still possess his straight pastel pink hair, and pink eyes. His bangs are swept to the right, having two prominent strands of hair beside them. Suprisingly enough, he still retained the accessory the girl version has, that consist of a red Japanese-style crossed hairclip, as well as a red ribbon tying one small ponytail on the upper half of his head at the back— the rest of his hair left down. And his height, he's actually taller than you but still the smallest one on the boys.
You continued to examine the two of them, your cheeks heating up.
They. Are. So. Hot.
"Welcome to the Literature Club. It's a pleasure meeting you," male Yuri suddenly spoke up, bringing you to reality. His voice was deep, and soothing. "Satori always says nice things about you," he added.
The pink-haired guy then said. "Seriously? You brought a girl?" he rolled his eyes. "Way to kill the atmosphere."
As much as you wanted to be offended by his statement, you were too distracted by his cute voice.
You opened your mouth to speak out but then frozed when your realized one thing. "Where's Monika?" You whispered, not realizing the your childhood friend next to you heard your statement.
"Who's Monika?" Satori's jovial voice next to you made you jump in surprise. Then his eyes lightened in realization. "Oh! Do you mean Moniko? I don't know where he went."
"O-oh," you muttered and looked down, your cheeks tinted red in embarrassment.
"Wait. How did you know that he's part of this club? I never mentioned it to you." His eyes widened, a teasing grin forming on his lips. "Do you by any chance like him? Is that why you quickly joined the club?"
You quickly looked up at him with a wide and panicked look. "N-no! I don't even know him!"
You felt a hot breath in your right ear and a unfamiliar smooth and confident voice. "Really? We're classmates last year, aren't we, Y/N?"
In surprise, you jumped to the side, accidentally knocking Satori to the ground.
Your eyes widened in panic. "Oh no! I'm so sorry, Satori!" You offered him a hand.
"All is good, Y/n!" He laughed and scratched the back of his head before taking your hand.
"I'm so sorry about that, Satori. I didn't know that she'll act that way. Ahahaha," he laughed and turned to you.
You can't help but froze at the sight of the male version of Monika in front of you. He's gorgeous. Just like the female version, he has coral brown hair, the white ribbon now missing, and his emerald green eyes made you feel that you can stare at it all day long... Ironically speaking, you actually did that at act 3 of the game, and at Monika After Story.
"I apologize for surprising you, Y/N. It really is nice to see you again." He gave you a warm smile.
"I- uh- um-" You panicked inside. Damn it! Why can't you form a coherent sentence?
"What are you looking at? If you want to say something, say it." Natsuki—or atleast what you thought is his name—spoke up.
"I-I'm sorry," you looked down, feeling dejected already. You promised yourself that you would help them, then why are you acting like some weak protagonist of an otome game? You need to keep in mind that the game's main genre was never romance, but horror.
"Naruki..." You heard the male Yuri stated.
"Hmph," Naruki—finally! You know his name—crossed his arms and turned his head to the side. You mentally rolled your eyes.
Typical tsundere.
But at least he's cute.
"You can just ignore him when he's–" you cut Satori off.
"He's the typical tsundere, isn't he?" You whispered back, not knowing how Moniko heard you, and now turned to you with wide eyes.
Satori held back his laugh. "Y-yeah." He then turned back to his club mates. "Anyway! This is Naruki, always full of energy. And this is Yuki, the smartest in the club!"
You smiled and waved at them, then you turned your head to Moniko who was already staring at you with a look in his eyes that you can't discern. It bothered you, knowing that Moniko has full control of the game.
Your confidence came back at the thought of breaking out of this game. With them. You can't act like a fool right now. You need to earn their trust.
"Hey, everyone! I'm Y/n, and it's a pleasure to meet all of you! Thank you for accepting me as a part of your club already," you smiled. Now here comes the part of your strategy that you'll surely manage to get one of the to be friends.
"When it comes to literature, I'm really a wide reader, by that I mean, I read Manhwa, and Mangas..." You saw Naruki's eyes light up—Bingo!—while Yuki frowned a bit. "When it comes to books, I'm a fan of any genres, such as fantasy, mystery, and even horror." This time, Yuki is the one who's eyes lightened up with an expectant look, the frown disappearing from his face.
Your smile grew wider at their reaction. "You really do love literature, don't you?" You turned to Moniko who just spoke up.
You nodded, not lying about what you said earlier. "I also write stories in my spare time, though I'm not good with poems, since I find it hard to understand them." You let out a nervous laugh.
Moniko patted your head and you looked up at him in surprise. "That's fine, you can learn here in the literature club."
"I'm excited for it."
You don't want to follow the script but you'll make an exception just this one for this line.
This club... is full of incredibly hot guys!!
Wait. Script...
Your mind flashed the conversation you had with them... Moniko's appearance...
Did he just deviated from the script in act 1?
