Chapter 46: System Update: Yandere Mode +1

He was dreaming of peace, a meadow, Birds and a gentle breeze brushing through his hair.

And then—

[DING!]

[SYSTEM UPDATE COMPLETE.]

[Now installing: YANDERE MODE +1]

[New Feature Unlocked: "Yandere Thermometer – Know Who's Ready to Explode!"]

His eyes snapped open.

"Why," he muttered into his pillow, "does my life come with patch notes?"

A sharp knock echoed from the door, then another. Then the sound of five different girls fighting over who gets to break it down first.

"REI-SAMA, GOOD MORNING~!"

"I brought breakfast and a vow of eternal loyalty!"

"LET ME IN OR I'LL—I'll love you so hard you won't survive!"

One of them bit the doorknob.

He sat up in bed, mechanically summoned a [Daily Health Potion] from his Inventory, and chugged it like a man prepping for war.

[System Notification: Daily Health Potion used. You are now 2% more durable to Affection-Based Trauma.]
