Olivia was certain that right now... here, a heinous case of perverted assault against a loli senior had occurred—a betrayal of kindness!

The sole suspect was none other than a perverted junior whose conscience had been devoured by dogs, a despicable scoundrel, a rude lecher—Gawain, the former harem protagonist!

Evidence was irrefutable, caught red-handed. Request immediate execution—! Report complete!

【Approved for execution!】

That’s right. Just moments ago, seeing her "kidnapper" was actually Gawain, Olivia had already put him through a public trial in her mind...

What was this guy up to?

You weren’t like this when I played the game before!

In the game, Gawain was a gentle, kind-hearted knight-type guy. Though a bit slow in romance, he never bullied any of the three heroines...

Why... why would he do this to me?

This was way beyond his original character. No... this plot wasn’t in the original at all! Shouldn’t I have wrapped up my role already? Why am I still sharing so many scenes with the male lead?!

Could it be because I helped him? Or did he take offense when I called him a pervert that day?

That shouldn’t be it. The three heroines insulted him for ages, and he endured it. Just because I scolded him twice to help, he’s seeking revenge?

Ugh~

What kind of logic is this? Do good people just get guns pointed at them?

"Ahhh! What the hell are you doing? Put me down! Put me down!!! Idiot, pervert, help—!"

Olivia ignored Gawain’s plea to quiet down. She screamed wildly, startling him into clamping a hand over her mouth. She struggled but could only let out muffled "mmph mmph" sounds of fear.

"Phew... Senior, calm down. I told you—I’m here to help. If you shout, pursuers will catch us again."

Gawain seemed determined to protect her. He soothed her while scanning behind them, oblivious to Olivia’s stunned expression.

Quiet... my ass! I was sleeping soundly at home, and now you’ve clearly kidnapped me—hey, at least let me speak!

Olivia watched anxiously, utterly bewildered. The staircase felt familiar. After racking her brain, the layout seemed like...

The school dorm?!

Yes, wasn’t this the staircase of the Foolish Hero’s dorm in the game?

Redwood handrails, white plaster walls, gray cement steps—yes, that’s right...

Had this pervert brought her to his boys’ dorm?

Hiss—

Her mind flooded with bizarre plot tags: imprisonment, chains, forced love...

Aaaaaah...

"Mmph mph (Help!!!)"

She struggled fiercely. If she didn’t fight now, she’d be locked here as a plaything for life!

Her commotion backfired. Gawain thought pursuers were near. He turned—and saw a figure emerging at the stairwell.

No time to think. Gawain rushed her into his dorm, slammed the door, and hid her under his bed. But Olivia suddenly lunged up and bit his finger!

"Hiss— Senior! Stop... there are pursuers! And this is a boys’ dorm—if discovered... it’ll be impossible to explain..."

Gawain pulled back his swollen finger, looking innocently at the Bluehaired Loli. His sincere expression made her doubt herself. Huh?

Someone... was chasing her?

"So... you rescued me? Uh... what’s going on?"

Olivia scratched her head, brain crashed. Gawain sighed, about to explain—when the doorknob rattled violently.

"Hiss... No time, senior. Quick, hide under the blanket!"

He whispered urgently, pulling the blanket over her.

This was a perfect escape chance, yet... she unconsciously burrowed into his bed, curling up tensely.

The door creaked open. Heavy footsteps followed. Gawain sighed in relief.

"It’s you... Runi. Phew~ Why back tonight?"

"The nightclub closed early. Hey? Gawain, I saw a figure in the stairwell—looked like you, carrying something... was that you?"

Runi shut the door and sat on his bed. Gawain gave an awkward smile. Thankfully, it was late, no magic lights on. Runi probably couldn’t see clearly.

He forced calm. "N-no... it wasn’t me."

"Oh... so why are you still up, not even lying down? That’s rare..."

Runi asked curiously, his gaze drifting to Gawain’s bed. Though hidden under the blanket, Olivia felt a dangerous stare in the air.

Hiss—

This Runi, Olivia knew. In the game, he was Gawain’s only roommate—a chubby, wealthy kid. His family were major nobles on the Imperial border, rich from monopolizing trade.

He chose dorm life over renting in the Imperial Capital. His only hobby was splurging at nightclubs daily, rarely staying in—a true "save where you can, spend where you must" type...

Yet, he was the only one in the late game who still believed in Gawain, a good buddy of the Hero. Honestly... it had moved Olivia when she played.

But that wasn’t the point now... she was trapped under this blanket. Wh-what to do?!

If discovered, as a "girl" alone with a boy in a boys’ dorm bed...

This would become the Magic Academy’s most explosive gossip! She’d be ruined at school. Sob~

In the end, she’d be tied to the male lead forever. She’d never clear her name...

"Hey... is there something hidden under your blanket?"
