I Started To Gain Sentience In An Eroge - Chapter 83: [Laura] When in doubt, kiss him out!

“I am in a bit of a dilemma,” Glooming over, C said. Whenever he was worried about us, his tone of voice would change drastically, both inside and out.

“Talk to us, darling. What seems to be troubling you today?” Rachel stroked his hair lovingly. I had been keeping a close eye on her, and there were definitely hearts in her blue eyes. Without a doubt, she had already given her all to him. And she would do everything in her power to make him happy, just like me.

Although I wanted to shake her hand off of his hair, at this moment, it would be better to focus on C rather than trivial matters. Fighting over him could wait once Kurokawa’s event had been cleared. Thanks to his help, to me and Rachel, time was no longer of the essence. Its effects only mattered to C and to that bookworm who ran away.

“You can tell me, C. I’m still your one and only girlfriend. Lawfully, too.” Of course, I needed to remind a certain pesky being her place. By glaring at that blond-haired girl, Rachel should know what I was aiming at.

To answer my gaze, that blond-haired woman only winked. She even showed a cheeky expression out of nowhere, seemingly trying to get a rise out of me.

“I… don’t really know where to start…” My faceless boyfriend answered hesitantly. “All I know right now is that I probably messed something up.”

[Again… And maybe I have already made make her event worse somehow. Again! What will happen to the bookworm this time? I have no freaking clue. Whether or not my actions had done something terrible is now a possibility to think about!]

As his face slowly sank down because of self-doubt, I quickly held him with both hands and lifted him up so he could focus on his girlfriend instead of his thoughts: “And why would you say that?”

“Trust me, darling. You did not do anything wrong.” Rachel nodded heavily. “Never did and never will. Even if this world breaks apart, it is not your fault. I can guarantee it.”

I did not think her comparison was needed. There was no correlation between Kurokawa’s event and the world breaking apart. Nevertheless, I had to concentrate on C. I did have to agree with her, though. Even when everything turned to dust, C would never be the one we held accounted for. He was too precious.

“That seems a bit farfetched, isn’t it.” C shook his head from left to right. “Besides, I hurt Kurokawa badly. You girls were close, right? Then you must have heard her cries. That was because of me. If only I didn’t come here…”

[If only you kept your fucking ass where it belonged, you fucking dumb piece of shit!]

The words that came from C’s mouth felt like they had been torn straight out of my heart, and his thoughts behind those words were more painful than any physical wounds. My eyes were moist after knowing what he had inside his mind. Never could I ever stand him hurting like that? Not now, not in the future. There must be a way for me to help him.
