Against the Inevitable Destiny
Chapter 45 - Teasing Scarlet

[ POV Riru - Yozora Academy ]

“Good morning Scarlet - Senpai.”

I walked up to Scarlett Senpai and walked beside her.

Why do I still call him Senpai? And now openly? Am I not afraid of death?

Okay will explain. Indeed at first I only secretly called him senpai only in my mind.

But after interacting with her for quite a while, I changed my mind and tried to call her senpai, especially when we were both. We're often alone if you want to know. But it's not heaven as you think.

When I first called him senpai in the gym, I was beaten all out by him. He seemed to know that I would not die with just a simple punch so he continued to torture me. This is hell on earth. He almost burned me one day. Huh, I don't want to remember.

Of course I didn't give up. I kept trying to get closer and occasionally called him senpai. Although I have to feel hell, but it's worth it when we get closer and I can call him senpai freely.

“Shameless troubled disciple, call me sensei. How many times have I said it.”

Scarlet senpai said weakly. He pinched his brows signifying his helplessness.

[Master, do you like it? If so, shouldn't you exhaust him?  ]

Seres spoke in my mind.

Well, it was common for the system to speak directly to the mind of its host. Maybe that's what sets it apart from regular AI.

‘What do you mean? Wasn't his reaction signifying that our relationship was getting closer. He even upgraded my dear nickname from “troubled student” to “shameless troubled student”.

[Only you think that way ]

‘Really?’

[Huh.].

{Although he is just a system, Seres is exhausted by the mannerisms of his hosts. She wondered if her host had become stupid for being in front of a beautiful woman.}

{But Riyu didn't realize it, he was just just confused and then didn't care about it.}

“As if senpai, soon I will become a student. Senpai used to attend school here so it's fine to call you like that sooner.”

I spoke again to my beautiful senpai. I knew he was an alumnus of Yozora Academy from his own words. To be honest he was quite off guard when talking to me, only when I asked about his strength and energy did he regain consciousness.

I knew he was hiding something, but I didn't ask any further which would make him uncomfortable..

“Hah, I don't know what else to say. Come to my office I'll punish you.”

“Alright, that long with Senpaiku.”

“Sigh.”

……

……

……

I walk with Senpai or teacher? my beauty. Beside him I kept talking. It's actually still morning, just like when I came to Yozora Academy for the first time and met her.

But unlike in the past, Scarlet gets up early more often to take care of things. I don't know and I don't ask.

“You're not with your girlfriend?”

“You mean May?”

“Why do you still ask? Isn't your boyfriend just him? What do-don't you-”

Before Scarlet could finish her words, I cut her off by saying.

"No, of course not. How can I cheat? I am a good and honorable man from a respectable family. There's no way I'm doing such a despicable act."

I said like an educated and gentleman, to convince him that I was indeed a gentleman.

Of course I'm honest, I'm an honorable man.

What about having two lovers? Well, sometimes a gentleman has one or two women who love him.

What about a harem? Uh, it's just an okay plan. Stop urging.

“You answered before I finished my words, it's becoming more and more suspicious. Do you really think I don't know about your harem syndrome?”

So he knows? No-I mean I don't have that kind of syndrome. I just want to make people close to me happy, harem plans just because of my physical condition. Might as well.

“Ehem-Alright I'll be honest senpai. Since you have already caught me then it will be honest that you are my harem candidate, how about that senpai?”

I'm saying. Looking directly into his eyes.

He stopped walking and his face blushed. Oh, the resolute and terrifying teacher blushed, that's a rare thing.

“Stupid, don't say something like that to your teacher.”

She screamed at me with her face still blushing.

“Hm? What about that senpai? It's just the two of us right now, so-”

“Be quiet there problematic disciple shameless.”

“GUh.”

He kicked me and I was thrown against the wall. I didn't avoid it because it would be problematic in the future. He'll probably do more than kick me. No one knows how women think.

And as if I knew I wasn't hurt at all. He didn't care about me, just turned around and ran away.

“Come to my office. I'll punish you.”

Before he got away from me he turned around to see me waking up to the wall.

[Are you okay?]

‘i'm fine. Thank you for worrying about me Seres’

It's such a relief to hear a normal woman's voice (although it's just the real System). After all the women around me are pretty hard to control.

….

{A few minutes later after Scarlett Senpai leaves Riyu. He slows down when he remembers something.}

“Murid fucked up, he hasn't answered my question about his girlfriend.”

Ryu : Um? Why do I feel like someone is cursing me? That must be Scarlett, I have to be ready when I see her again when she's emotional.

……

“What are you doing, Riyu?”

Shio came over and asked about what I was doing. I was still in the same position, sitting and waking up to the wall.

“I'm resting. Quite comfortable resting like this, doesn't your brother do it often?”

I said normally as if what I was doing was perfectly normal. I even compared myself to Sho.

Well, Sho's not like me. He often resuscitated himself to the tree, it made it feel like he was fusing with nature itself.

Fortunately there was no one other than Shio at the moment. If other people see me like this, they will look at me strangely.

“Really? Let me do it too.”

Without waiting for my answer, Shio sat down beside me. And without my consent he leaned on my shoulder, positioning himself as comfortably as possible.

“True, this feels comfortable.”

“.....”

I just kept quiet without saying anything. I honestly felt weird when I was with him. I have no ability to resist what he did to me. I would feel pain just by imagining it.

So I just kept quiet and enjoyed my time with him.

“How about your sister?”

I asked him to break the silence.

“DIa is studying hard.”

Shio said as he closed his eyes as if trying to sleep.

“Tell him not to push himself too hard. I'll hand over my mother's research, she's already proven her quality."

“Stay, he doesn't want to disappoint anyone. We don't know why aunt refused to give up her research, but brother is sure it has something to do with her. So he wanted to prepare himself as best he could"

“Begukah.”

“Em.”
