Arc 2: The Ill Boy Seduces the Yandere School Idol (Asmodeus x Reader) Chapter 5

"My sweetie is adorable today," Asmodeus said, brushing your hair.

"Calling a grown man adorable is too insensitive."

"Everyone calls me adorable, sometimes they call me sexy, too."

You stepped back as Asmo caressed your ear. "W-why're you telling me this?"

"This kind of reaction ... you do think I'm sexy, ne, MC?"

As you let Asmodeus tease you, the system notified with a ding:

[The female lead is ten feet away.]

You turned your head and caught Pearl hiding behind a potted plant. She was dressed in a white dress and while her makeup was great, anxiety twisted her face.

[The female lead seems to want to tell you something.]

"She probably wants to tell me about Theo's plagiarism." Adhering to the plotline, last night, Theo sang Cut Sleeve to the female lead. However, since Pearl already heard the song from you, she accused him of plagiarism and stormed off. It was then that the system notified you of successfully completing the side task, "protect female lead from the male lead and the main villain."

[Why is she hesitating?]

"Who knows, she's likely worried that this issue would shake our performance. This girl loves music and respects me, if her 'news' disturbed me it could affect my playing."

"Ne, MC," Asmo grabbed your chin, "Where are you looking at?"

"Oh, nowhere. It's just nerves. Today's my first time performing in public, after all."

"So cute." He rubbed his nose against yours. "Why don't you go sit in the lounge room? I'll get you something to chew on."

"That would be nice, thank you."

You moved to leave, but was pushed back by familiar lips. A hot tongue pierced forward and explored every crevice of your tongue.

Asmo pulled back thirty seconds later, a trail of saliva connecting you two.

"Asmo," you panted.

"Seeing you like this makes me want to break my promise and love you to death. Hm, I'll go get your snack."

You glared at him then left with a harumph.

When you were out of sight, Asmodeus walked over to Pearl.

She quickly tried to tell him about the theft but was frozen in place.

The teasing, affectionate expression from before was now replaced with wanton disgust.

"Hey," his normally high-pitched voice drawled out a baritone, "you may be a little cute but don't get cocky. That boy is mine."

"I-I ... "

"And if you even think of trying to steal him away from me, I'll make sure you never sing to anyone again."

Pearl's legs trembled beneath her.

Seeing that he got his point across, the man stepped back and the suffocating air disappeared as he smiled. "As long as you understand." He pivoted. "Well then, good luck out there."

Pearl snapped out of it and, gathering all her courage, shouted, "You need to be careful!"

She hurriedly added, "Your song--MC's song, someone stole it and tried to make it his. I think it's not his first time stealing."

Asmodeus thought for a moment. Then he smiled one last time, "I understand. Thank you for your concern."

When he left, Pearl slumped over the wall and exhaled.
