Decision You Make
Chapter 8 - Vincent Forden

In the afternoon, the school health room

Lousy.

Only that could describe Chloe's current state.

By the time Chloe arrived, the man had woken up.

They chatted for a while, and Chloe gave him the food he bought.

And this awkward atmosphere came from the man who only ate his food while sitting on the bed, while Chloe sat on the chair provided.

Chloe immediately turned the brain to melt the atmosphere. He felt that the man in front of him would only continue to eat his food without speaking a word.

"Anu, come to think of it, we have not yet become acquainted, yes. I'm Chloe Natalie, and you?" Ask Chloe kindly.

The man lifted his head and replied Chloe, "i'm Vincent Forden."

After saying that, he shifted his eyes. Chloe could see Vincent's ear tips had a red tinge.

Yeah, he's embarrassed. But unlike Vincent who was embarrassed, Chloe was stunned.

'Wait, Vincent Forden? Is..'

To confirm her conjecture, Chloe immediately turned on the identification, and what she saw made Chloe feel like yelling.

...[.Name: Vincent Forden...

...Age: 18 years...

...Status: Character (potential male partner)...

...Favorite rate: 25% (friendly)]...

As Chloe guesses, he's Vincent Forden. One of the male partners in the original story.

'Hell, well, how's this?! Though I think Vincent is the right person for Reina, when my intention is to have Reina help Vincent to fall in love with Reina, damn it!' Chloe's inner self is instantly stressed.

Chloe had planned Reina's meeting with Vincent from the beginning.

In the original story, Reina helps Vincent from the bullying he received while he was walking with Damian. The kind-hearted Reina, of course, would not be silent to see the bullying happen before her eyes. Unfortunately, she was just a weak girl. Reina therefore asked Damian to drive out the bullies.

After saving Vincent and taking him to the school's medical room, Vincent falls in love with Reina, always clinging to Reina.

Chloe kept daydreaming, until she finally woke up to a pat on her shoulder.

"Eh, what's up, Vincent?" Chloe asked Vincent, the perpetrator who patted her on the shoulder.

"You all right? From there you just keep quiet with a blank look," Vincent said in an unconcealed tone of worry.

"I'm just daydreaming for a while, and you haven't answered my question."

Vincent seemed to think for a while and replied, "thank you for your help, it's just that maybe you'd better stay away from me. Or they will do that to you, too" Vincent solemnly warned.

Chloe was a little amused to hear that.

"Haha, don't worry. They are just ordinary students. Besides, we can report them to the teacher." Chloe said casually.

"But they still have a little bit of power, the proof is that they can still annoy other students" Vincent said, trying to convince Chloe.

It felt like Chloe wanted to hit that man's head. Too plain!

Chloe is surprised, after all, in the story, Vincent is actually also the son of a wealthy businessman. Indeed, due to some things he became less confident and closed, thus attracting rotten bullies who took advantage of power. But this is too bad, right?

'Is it because I'm not Reina, huh? Yeah, maybe so. Maybe then Vincent felt Damian could protect Reina... Wait, that means he underestimated me?'

Chloe was feeling a bit annoyed as well being underestimated. It feels shameful, underestimated by a teenager while she is actually a grown woman.

"Vincent, are you underestimating me?" Chloe asked with a smile that did not seem sincere.

Vincent, who saw him, panicked himself and hurriedly said, "of course not, you will be strong enough to kick them. I'm just khawa-"

"I'm stronger than just kicking them. I am more capable and have more power than them. You think I'm an ordinary student, huh?"

Vincent was silent at Chloe's words.

No one wanted to help me because they didn't care. If anyone wanted to help, they would also definitely be just fellow bullies who had no courage.

Vincent recalls the time when Chloe fearlessly committed physical violence on John, and even threatened him.

'Yes, there's no way he's an ordinary student, ' Vincent mused at Chloe's words.

Suddenly....

...[.Ding!...

...The new status of Vincent's character has been unlocked.]...

A blue window floated right in front of Chloe. Chloe was confused, feeling like she had done nothing. But he opened the identification.

Once the identification is activated, information from Vincent is immediately visible.

...[.Name: Vincent Forden...

...Age: 18 years...

...Status: Character...

...Special feeling: 25% (love in my heart)]...

Chloe was dumbfounded, again.

Vincent's status has turned into character, and what's more? Specific feeling? Love in my heart?

'Wait, so Vincent's not a male partner anymore? And the worse is that he likes me? What the fuck, ' it feels like Chloe wants to cry.

Devastated were his hopes for Vincent, it seemed like he could no longer be the male partner for Reina, he thought.

'Well, it's my fault, too. Besides Vincent fell in love with Reina also because he was saved, if I didn't save him he wouldn't like me either.'

Chloe felt a bit nauseous thinking about the things that happened today. Too many.

"I have to go now, hopefully get well soon. Meet me tomorrow to report them," said Chloe, leaving, she was already uncomfortable.

"Oh, let me take you to the school gate, '" Vincent went as well.

"No, I live in a dorm" Chloe said briefly.

"Alright," replied Vincent giving up. She couldn't have followed Chloe all the way to the girls' dorms.

Chloe walks rather quickly away from the school's medical room, while Vincent only sees Chloe's back growing farther away.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

"Eh?"

"Eh?"

The two girls were surprised to see each other.

"Loh, so this is Chloe's room, too, huh?" Erine asked with a happy face.

"Yes, so we're rooming, cool!" Answer Chloe.

Earlier, Chloe tried to open her room with a key, but failed. Until he finally realized that the key to this room had been opened and met Erine who was wearing free clothes with her hair unraveled.

After asking, Chloe learns that Erine does intend to stay in the dorm, and coincidentally lives in the same room as Chloe.

Chloe felt that this was not too bad, at least she could keep an eye on Erine so as not to disturb Reina.

Although Erine did not cultivate hatred towards Reina.

It doesn't hurt to be vigilant anyway, does it?
