The Villainess With A Heroine Harem

Meanwhile, back in Crystal's bedroom, Emilia was already lying on the bed as if it was her own, while an embarrassed Crystal had rushed off to shower shortly after letting her in.

Although Emilia had often visited her home to study, the girl had never entered Crystal's bedroom before. Looking around, it wasn't quite like what a normal girl's bedroom would be like.

Rather than having any dolls, toys, or decorations of any kind, Crystal's room seemed to be completely devoid of anything without 'practical use'.

If the layout of one's room reflected their personality, then Crystal's room would make one think that she was a cold and practical person who didn't care much about comfort and appearances. However, Emilia knew that this was not the case.

The girl was somewhat similar to Samantha in this case, though the 'configuration' was different.

Samantha appeared to be a ruthless and cold beauty, but was actually a crybaby that was easy to bully, especially for her. On the other hand, Crystal appeared to be a diligent and practical person who cared little for others, and even less for herself, but Emilia thought that she actually sought companionship more than even the super clingy Koko.

This was not just Emilia making assumptions on her own. She had arrived at this conclusion after carefully observing the heroine for a long time.

And even if Cynthia disagreed with her on the heroine's innate character, even she agreed on this point.

The first hint she had gotten from the girl was that, despite her clear aversion at that time, she had accepted Emilia's request to tutor her.

And from that point on, the girl had welcomed her with open arms, and regardless of whether her responses were petulant or shy, she never denied any of Emilia's requests.

Of course, it's not like Emilia had any issues with this trait. If anything, she thought it was adorable. In her mind, Crystal was like a lonely little child, and she was very willing to pamper the girl.

When the heroine finally returned, Emilia couldn't help but blink in surprise at how red her skin had gotten. "Whoa… you really rubbed it all raw! If you're so rough with your skin all the time, it's not gonna be so smooth and soft much longer, you know?"

For any normal person her age, having their crush in their home would already cause their heartbeat to speed up, much less having her in their bedroom.

And currently, the girl she had been crushing on for so long was actually in her own bed, wearing nothing but a flimsy nighty. For a moment, Crystal wondered if Emilia had any idea what she was doing at all.

And upon hearing what Emilia said, the blonde girl's face turned red. "I-It's not smooth and soft to begin with! Not compared to you, at least…"

"Hm…"

Before the heroine even realized it, Emilia had already gotten up from the bed and was staring at her so close that their lips were just an inch apart, almost giving Crystal a heart attack. "Wh-Wh-Wha—"

Emilia smiled as she turned back, not teasing the poor girl anymore. "It looks pretty good to me. Anyway, let's go to bed, alright? Or you'll be tired in school tomorrow."

Crystal, who had been imagining all sorts of things, couldn't help but be slightly disappointed. Though she didn't even know what she had been expecting to begin with. "O-Oh…"

The blonde girl didn't dare to stand there too long, afraid of giving away any 'hints' that her thoughts were anything but normal.

As it was slightly chilly already, Crystal was used to covering herself with a thick blanket during the night, and getting under it with her crush so close by, the blonde's hands were already shivering with excitement.

Emilia thought that the girl must be quite cold, as she was shivering, and pulled her closer to herself till they were practically glued to each other. And as expected, the heroine's limbs really were a bit colder than they should be. "Did you take a cold shower?"

Crystal nodded absently. "Mhm."

With the type of thoughts she was having, she had obviously taken an ice-cold shower to 'cleanse' them. Of course, it didn't help at all.

If anything, it seemed to have made the situation 'worse'.

With the soft, warm body of her crush pressing against herself like this, even if Crystal had been a saint, she would still be tempted.

And Crystal was far from a saint at the moment, because after Emilia took the 'initiative' to pull her close, she had already wrapped her right arm around the girl's waist. The thin fabric of her nighty might as well not have been there, because she could feel even the texture of her skin clearly.

Emilia didn't think much about the heroine's actions, because she was too focused on how to bring up the topic of her slipping up during exams.

After all, regardless of anything else, this must still be a delicate subject for Crystal, who was always used to being on top. Moreover, the one to exceed her this time was Emilia herself, who was not only the one asking her such a thing, but also someone she had personally taught.

In her place, Emilia could imagine how complicated she would feel. 'I wonder what she's thinking right now…'

Meanwhile, the heroine's thoughts had already gone on a complete tangent.

The closer she was to Emilia right now, the farther she felt from the girl in her heart.

She could keep convincing herself that since Randy didn't have those kinds of feelings for her yet, they may not eventually develop into an 'item', but was that really true?

Emilia hadn't expressed any disgust when she mentioned that her father had wanted to arrange for her to sleep with that so-called fiancé of hers. Her reaction was that of embarrassment and awkwardness than anything else.

Although she didn't seem to 'secretly look forward to it' at least, Crystal still couldn't help but slightly despair in her heart. 'I have to do something soon, or it'll be too late!'
