A Cliché Multiverse Story-Chapter 24 - CH. 24: Partners List
"Sugoi!"
Icy water enveloped my lower body, I placed my hands on the sides of the tub and stared at the ceiling before closing my eyes.??
The meeting with others ended in separating the students from our group.
"Today sure was messy as hell. Those fuckers…"
Even now, no guilt came.
The guilt for contributing to taking a life.
Where was the scene of the protagonist puking their guts out? Why was I this calm after taking a life?
Did killing undead all day numbed my senses?
"Fuck this all!"
(... Please don't be sad… maybe your emotional strength is above others.)
'I am not being emo or anything. But I think I never saw them as humans after seeing the way they beat up the woman.'
I even gave women a headstart for survival, where they could awaken their magic faster because of their mana pool nearly as twice as men's. However, some things couldn't be changed no matter what.
I sealed my line of thoughts and opened the Partners menu.

The fuck?! Infinity affection points… I feel my love for her was not even half of hers. Before that. Also those infinity points remind me of a certain black-haired loli dragon.
'Why are you a high human?'
(I can modify my race at will. So it would be an honor for a wife to choose the same race as her husband. That's what I read in some manga.)
'You read manga?'
(I stalked you for years be— it's nothing.)
That was some important information she omitted before!
I must sharpen my stalking skills before another stalker popped into my life.
Back to the partner list.

I wasn't surprised, was I? ƒ𝑟𝐞𝗲𝘄𝙚𝚋𝑛ｏ𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝘰𝓂
Fuck! Why was she so obsessed with me?!
I took a deep breath, mustered my courage, and tapped the reveal backstory button.
Aimi Akane: A girl born in a middle-class family, living a normal life until one day, when her parents' car crashed into a truck and passed away. She got over it and started staying with her relatives. One year later, when she entered 3rd year of high school, her relatives kicked her out. Wandering on the streets, her will to live kept slipping. As she was about to run into a car, a young boy stopped her and gave her a cheque of 1 Million Yen. The kindness touched her heart and she found a reason to live on. The boy's kind smile became her sole reason to live—
Hold up! I met Aimi before she became my bodyguard? What kind of third-rate anime plot is this?
Wrecking my genius brain, I remembered meeting a poor girl when I sneaked out of my home. Her ragged clothes made me pity her, so I gave her my pocket money.
She was Aimi, I guess. It wasn't for any perverted stuff, back then, I was only 9 or so. It would be odd to develop lust toward the opposite sex.
Continuing the story.
The boy's kind smile became her sole reason to live and her obsession. 'How wonderful it would be to see his smile every day.' She dreamed about it and began searching for the boy. Only to get her hopes crushed by his identity. But her obsession took the better of her as she began to arm herself with every skill and gained the approval to become the boy's bodyguard. Now closer her obsession evolved and her insecurities rose. She started to stalk her master and then she came across a notebook. What she found in that book surprised her. After a long period of contemplation, she decided to fulfill her master's wish to die. Hoping to accompany him in the afterlife, she stabbed herself in the heart.
Fin~
Was that my sealed past?! Shit, she saw my diary from sixth-grade. How embarrassing...
After reading the rather expected diary of my yandere bodyguard, I continued the partners list.

Sigh.
I needed to talk to her and clear away her doubts.
It was then I noticed two scarlet eyes stalking me from the door. Those eyes only belonged to one person here.
"Come here!"
Now is the time to taste this beauty!
