Chapter 252. Enlisting Angela’s Aid. (1/6)
When morning came, I woke up embraced by a beauty with light orange blond hair innocently snuggled up close to my chest. She appeared quite comfortable with the way she slept so peacefully.
As much as I wanted to stick around, I had to head to the university to meet a certain troublesome individual. I had a strong urge to just skip out though. I’d gone and made an annoying arrangement. I was only forced to do so because of how problematic that person was. She could make my life very inconvenient if I didn’t give her enough attention.
I removed my left hand from behind Alicia’s head, but it didn’t change the fact that she had her arms locked around me. There wasn’t any way to slip out without waking her up.
A bit perplexed, rather than wake her up, I waited until she woke up on her own. It took about an hour before her eyes trembled a bit and they cracked open slightly.
When she understood where she was, she looked up at me and said sleepily, “Morning.”
“Morning.”
“About what you wanted help with, I think I have an idea.”
When she suddenly brought that topic up, my interest immediately piqued, I asked. “Oh? Really? What sort of plan do you have in mind?”
“It came to me in a dream I just had just before I woke up.”
It seemed waiting for her to wake up naturally played in my favor. If I’d woken her up, she might not have had that dream.
“In my dream the two of us were under the night sky seated beside each other admiring the view overhead.”
“Huh? How is that a plan?”
“Students taking third-year physics are going on a field trip soon after the midterms. To the planetarium. Don’t you think it would be the perfect opportunity to get them together there?”
My eyes lit up. She was right, it was a perfect opportunity to try something. In terms of mood and atmosphere it could work. I’d completely forgotten about that field trip.
But even with the right mood and atmosphere… I felt the likelihood of success was quite low.
“It’s a good start, but just that is far from enough. The student council president already knows how the vice president feels about him. She’s already confessed her feelings to him, but she was put on the back burner.”
“Yeah. The details need work.”
“He needs to be given an ultimatum. We need to put him in a position where he can’t escape. What really needs to be done is to disrupt the status quo between the two of them.”
“Do you have something in mind?”
“Well… sort of. We need to reset their current relationship to zero where they’re strangers. We need to create a fateful first encounter between the two.”
“Oh! Yeah, yeah! That sounds interesting. But… how would we do something like that?”
“It’s actually quite simple.”
A plan finally formed in my head thanks to Alicia. I needed her as part of this plan for sure.
“Simple? How?”
“You’ll see. I first need to run it by the vice president before I can explain any further.”
If Izora wasn’t willing to take this sort of gamble, then this plan would prove to be useless. She was so certain Alicia was the only type of girl the student council president would be interested in, but was that fact? Or something based on incorrect assumptions she made?
Just because a guy likes one particular girl doesn’t mean they wouldn’t take interest in another type of girl. It was worth a shot. Opposites attract.
“Sorry, I’ve got to get going, Alicia.”
“You do?”

“Yeah. I’ve got some things to do today.”
“Are you meeting up with someone today?”
“Yeah.”
“Izora?”
“No.”
“Huh? If it’s not her then who is it?”
“I can’t really say. I might be able to make use of them in this plan though.” As a special guest maybe. The only problem with making use of her would be doing so without her realizing anything. She was a difficult card to make use of because I was still on guard against her. Even with her soul in my possession, I didn’t feel like I could trust her fully. Did I think she’d stab me in the back? No, I was just concerned about trying to freely move a wild out of control piece like her.
She was a very powerful piece, but playing with fire could get you burned if you weren’t careful with how you handled it. Meeting her today would provide an opportunity to test the waters.
“Fine… I’ll see you tonight after work.” She sounded a bit dejected as she released me.
Rather than simply leave her in this state, I gave her a kiss and said, “I love you, Alicia.”
Her lips pulled back to one side as she raised a balled fist in front to hide them. Her eyes dodged to the right as her eyelashes fluttered, slightly embarrassed, she said, “I… love you too, Ran.”
It was a bit funny how a few simple words could completely change a girl's mood.
I climbed over her body, got off the bed, and took a short shower before I got dressed. When I was ready to leave, I looked back to my bed curiously. She hadn’t budged an inch. It seemed she planned on staying.
I noticed one of my pillows was unaccounted for. When I inspected her closer I realized she seemed to be hugging the missing pillow under the blanket in place of me. It just barely stuck out from the edge of the blanket and covered up to her nose so only her eyes innocently staring at me were visible.
“Are you planning to stay in my room?”
“I… can’t?”
“No, you can. I don’t mind. I just thought you might get bored.”
“I want to sleep a bit more. It’s unexpectedly easy to fall asleep in here.”
“Is it?”
“Mmm.” She nodded cutely, closing her eyes with her nose buried in my pillow. She was too adorable, it wasn’t good for my heart.
No, I can’t stay here hugging this innocent cute girl all day. I have things to do. I must be strong and resist the urge. I’ll become a useless bum who never gets any work done if I stay here. This was why I had to be out of the house, if I wasn’t, I’d never get any writing done with these girls always around me at home. It was impossible to focus at home.
I left Alicia behind in my room and caught the next bus to the university. With it being Saturday, everyone else was sleeping in late so I didn’t bump into anyone on the way out.
When I arrived at the museum in the university, it was empty. Angela hadn’t shown up yet. Well, there was no guarantee she would. I’d only left the message, she could be busy this weekend for all I know.
As she wasn’t around, I pulled out my phone and started writing. I had a good amount of ideas built up and wrote a good amount as I lost track of time.
I was so into it that I completely zoned out my surroundings.
While in the midst of writing my vision suddenly grew dark.
“Guess who~”
When the words on my phone disappeared someone suddenly spoke those two words out playfully. They disguised their voice and I didn’t recognize it at all. But judging by the perfume I smelled, it could only be one person.
“Ms. Angel of Death?”
