I turn to my back and wear my t-shirts right away when I saw the male lead and the female lead at the door. " Fuck.My.Life. I gritted my teeth when I realized that the male lead might have seen my body.
"Can't this gentleman turn around, please? Don't you see what we are doing right now?" The Succubus shows her displeasure when she sees Vincent is still like a statue.
I don't give a fuck right now... Who would have thought that our first meeting would be this weird!!??" I frown as I give the male leads a short glare.
First!! The Succubus and Becca saw my naked body... now, The male Lead and Caroline saw me half-naked.
When I finished wearing my school uniform, I turned around only to see Caroline look at me with a complicated look.
"Ava... You and the doctor...." Caroline stammered at the door. She keeps opening and closing her mouth like she wants to say something but give up later. After that .. she doesn't even look at me in the eyes.
"What's wrong with her?" I was about to ask when the Succubus beside me speak.
"May I help you both?" The Succubus smiles but, her smiles didn't reach her eyes.
"I'm accompanying this junior here." The Male lead spoke while pointing to Caroline. He looks uncomfortable. Obviously, he is not in a good relationship with this Succubus.
" Alright, I'm going first. Goodbye," After that, He left the three of us here in a somehow weird situation.
I look at Caroline, and Caroline looks at me and the doctor.
"Ava... You and the doctor..." Caroline seems like she wants to ask something but keep stopping herself.
"This student....are you misunderstanding something?" The Succubus asks again. She smiles again while holding her cheek with her right palm.
I look at the Succubus. What is there to misunderstand about?? I thought.
" Ahh!!! Nothing!!! I'm just seeing things wrong just now!!!" Caroline waves her hand frantically in other to deny something that I don't understand. But then.. she looks at me with an expression like I'm a stranger.
"???" I tilted my head with a frown.
"Are you here to visit your friend? I remember you were the girl who cried for her yesterday when she passed out."
Really Succubus!!? I look at her face. Does she really need to mention that? I thought.
The Succubus smirks while fixing her glasses. " I've already done with her check-up you can talk for a while but remember to go to class. " The Succubus was about to turn around when Caroline calls again.
" Wait!! I'm here because I hurt my leg!!" When Caroline said that.. both I and the Succubus look at her at the same time. Her face looks serious.
"Sure... Sit over here.. let me take a look.." The succubus points to the bed opposite me.
There are four beds in this infirmary. Two beds are placed near the front door, while the other two are placed near the doctor's desk. I'm on the second bed near the desk while Caroline is sitting on the first bed.
Caroline limps to the first bed. When she sat on the bed, she suddenly pouts at me again.
"???" I raised one of my eyebrows while looking at her before lying on the bed to rest while looking at the ceiling.
[Should you be ignoring her right now?] The ball asked.
'I'm thinking about something.' I take off my glasses and rub my eyes before putting on the glasses again.
'Hey..Wasn't The Male Lead supposed to speak up for Caroline just now?' I asked.
[Seems like falling from the stairs and seeing you half-naked has a great effect on the male lead]
' How the fuck does that even possible ' I rub my forehead with my left hand to ease the headache. I didn't get to sleep well yesterday.
[He does not just hate you. He is disgusted by you. He thinks you are just a pest trying to climb the upper class by getting into the bed of the rich people by seducing them. He thinks that you don't even realize where you really stand from how you look. With those thick glasses and plain-looking hair. What are you even thinking?]
"Puff!!!!" The hell does that even possible!!!?? We've never talked before!!! How did he even come with that conclusion!!!?? I feel like splurting blood from thinking about the male lead imagination.
I push the glasses on my face upward to cover my face with my palm. "Sigh..." What a bad day of entering high school...
"You are sighing. Are you alright?" The Succubus asked.
"No" I replied quickly not even looking at her.
"Are you mad at me... Di..did I disturb you... doing something?" Now it's Caroline who asked.
I lift my right palm and glance at Caroline's face. She looks uncomfortable for some reason. She even looks away not daring to face me.
"...."
"Anyway... I will leave you two here for a while!!!" I change my attention to the succubus who also looks uncomfortable. Maybe she seems to realize the weird atmosphere in this room.
"I need to go to the toilet" after that.. the Succubus left hurriedly leaving me and Caroline together in an awkward situation.
'.... Hey, ball... I remember you said that the doctor is actually innocent but sometimes her actions keep showing different meanings, right?"
[... Yeah she is the most innocent person even though she has the looks of working as a prostitute for her night job, kind of person.]
".... She has it tough."
[She doesn't even realize it]
"..."
Anyway... This is the third time I am left in an awkward situation. I look at Caroline again who is still looking down at her legs. When I look at her leg... I saw the bandaged ankle.
"Did you hurt your leg from yesterday?" I asked. If we follow the plot, she's supposed to hurt her leg after accidentally bump into Becca yesterday. I wonder if there are other changes in the plot...
"A..ah.. yeah.. after I bumped the girl from yesterday" she speaks slowly.
There are no changes from her part it seems... Looking at her face, I tried to find any differences in her behavior. If we follow her normal behavior, she might be crying like a child right now and hug me to seek comfort.
'Hey, ball ... What is the cause of her changes?" I stare at Caroline who is still looking down. But, I realized this time her shoulder is shaking.
"Huh? Is she crying??" I quickly get down from the bed and walk towards her. " Hey... Caroline, what's wrong? Who Bullied you? Is it your foot still hurting??" I touched her face and wipe the tears under her eyes with my thumb.
I don't know why I suddenly do this. When I see Caroline crying just now, it reminds me of 'her'. I raise Caroline's face to look at me. Even though she still avoid my gaze... I can still see the hurt in her eyes.
'Why is she crying?' i asked the ball. 'Does the female leads in this world cries a lot?' I hugged Caroline and buried her face in my chest, "There .. there... Don't cry... You look so ugly when you cry.." - and comforting her as best as I could.
[You suck at comforting others]
'Shut up'
[As you already know, the Female Lead is really close to your borrowed body. Apparently, she heard some girls talked about you trying to seduce the male lead. After that, she saw you and the doctor in an ambiguous position. So, she really believes that you trying to get into the popular group by seducing heir to rich companies.]
'.... What's with their weird imagination?'
"A...Ava... Do you... Do you hate me?" Suddenly, between sobs, Caroline speak."
"No, I don't hate you..." I stroke her head slowly.
"You won't abandon me, right!?" She asked.
" Of course I won't!! You are like my sister to me!!!" I don't know why, but somehow, I can feel tightness in my chest when I said, sister.
"I promise..." I assure her.
After that, she hugs me until she sleeps. I even change our position so we can lie on the bed comfortably. She still won't let me go through.
'Hey, ball... I don't think this feeling is normal!!' I look at Caroline's head that's buried in my chest as I try to make sense of the situation.
[What's not normal?]
"This familiar feeling. I feel like she is just like someone I know. But, that's impossible right!?" I frowned.
[Let me check. But, this will need a full l scan so, this could take a while, maybe even longer so you can only wait for now. Also, I can't be called during this process. So, I need your verbal agreement.]
'... Can you tell me what will happen to me during your absence?'
[You can't use any abilities provided by the system except the map and the already bought equipment.]
[Will you take the risk?]
'....' after thinking for a few minutes, ' I agree ' I told the ball.
Then the prompt of robotics sounding machine different from the Balls can be heard.
[THE HOST HAS AGREED TO A FULL SCAN FOR CONNECTION BETWEEN SOUL. THE SYSTEM CANNOT BE CALLED DURING THE SCAN. ALL ABILITIES PROVIDED BY THE SYSTEM CANNOT BE USED. THE SYSTEM WILL DISCONNECTED FROM THE HOST IN-

[Bzzztt]
After that.. my eyes suddenly become blurry which makes me realized something.
'This body has the worst eyesight problem!!!!!' I suddenly rethink about my decision.
I hope the scan is not that long!!!
