Protagonist halo...

Can someone really fall in love with someone unconsciously?

If you just fall in love with the other person because of the influence of the protagonist's halo, then that can still be regarded as——

Is it truly true love?

Everything is unclear.

…

As expected, Chris kept her promise to come back soon.

I obviously took a long time to go out in the morning, but ended up rushing back before lunch time.

Fortunately, Wayne didn't stay out for too long.

When she returned to Wayne's room, he was already sitting by the bed and reading quietly.

Hearing the movement at the door, Wayne raised his head and showed a slightly darker smile than usual.

"Chris, are you back?"

She sighed softly, closed the door behind her, and walked in.

"Do you feel better? Why don't you sleep a little longer?" She stretched out her hand and put it on Wayne's forehead to feel the temperature.

"Actually...I'm not sick." He said softly.

However, Chrissy didn't believe his excuse.

"...Don't be brave at times like this." She said angrily.

You're not trying to be brave.

However, seeing her confused look, I couldn't express my confusion.

Although I stayed with her most of the time.

But I always feel that the story I experienced from Chris' perspective is completely different from what I experienced.

Does she... feel happy in this world?

Chris thought of something and suddenly smiled.

"Wayne, what do you think is a good name for our publishing house?" she asked slightly excitedly.

After hearing this, Wayne pondered for a while.

"Just choose a common name like this, okay? Like Xiaocao Publishing House, Dashu Publishing House, Elk Bookstore... something like that."

"Huh? So this is Wayne's preference?"

Chris was a little surprised.

"No, just to make it easier to remember."

He didn't want to come up with a weird name like "Phobia of Long Words" and end up having to think about it for a long time every time he wanted to call her.

This has caused him great inconvenience in interpersonal interactions in the past.

The most direct manifestation is that he always accidentally forgets the names of some classmates. It is only because he tries to avoid calling people he is unfamiliar with by their first names that he barely avoids any serious embarrassment.

"Hmm...it's not impossible." Chris clapped her hands and said, "Let's call it Leaf Publishing House!"

Decided very casually.

"Let the publications we publish float around the world like leaves!" Chris said longingly.

Hey, wouldn't it be better to use dandelions?

Forget it, these little issues don't matter.

Wayne said cooperatively: "Ms. Chris is wise!"

…

on Monday.

"Wow... Tasia-san is so awesome!"

In another practical class, Tasia let everyone in the class see what it is like to be the real number one in the grade.

"She's so good-looking, and her magic power is so strong, it's just a foul~" Gavin murmured with a look of infatuation.

Even his eyes seemed to have turned into two hearts.

Next to him, Wayne glanced at him expressionlessly.

"By the way, after your confession failed again a few days ago, did you find a new target to attack?" He asked seemingly unintentionally.

Gavin was stunned for a moment, then showed a distressed expression.

"To be honest, I originally wanted to see how beautiful Miss Echos, who is known as the most beautiful woman in the kingdom, is..."

"It's better not to do it!" Before he could finish speaking, he was immediately interrupted by Wayne.

"Yes." Gavin nodded and agreed.

"After all, that's the person Richard likes. It's really morally unjustifiable to take action even though he's a friend who knows the truth."

Wayne's face turned dark and he didn't even know where to start his rebuttal.

"But if you think about it carefully, isn't Miss Tasia pretty good?" Gavin's voice changed.

"Stop dreaming." Wayne hit him coldly.

"Why is this a dream? I am a great noble!" Gavin was very confident in his conditions.

"No matter how powerful her magic is, her identity is just that of a commoner. Only by marrying a noble can her future descendants naturally acquire aristocratic status."

His tone was very natural, and he seemed to feel from the bottom of his heart that this was a good choice for Tasia.

It sounds like Tasia is already in his possession.

Wayne frowned unconsciously.

"Tasia is not someone who values ​​these things. You'd better not do anything annoying to her."

Hearing his rude warning, Gavin looked at him in disbelief.

"We have been friends for so many years, do you think I am the kind of person who buys and sells by force? The most I can do is express my good feelings."

……really.

Gavin often attacks others, but he never forces himself on others.

Wayne fell silent.

Why would I feel so angry when I hear him say such flippant words to Tasia?

It's completely like an instinctive reaction.

Before I had time to think about it in detail, my brain had already made its own decision.

——It is not possible for Tasia and Gavin to get married.

This is not the first time that similar ideas have appeared.

This thought, which he had not paid special attention to before, now made him feel very panicked.

Is this also... a sign of being affected by the protagonist's halo?

wrong.

There must be something wrong.

Seeing that he didn't look good, Gavin seemed to have discovered some clues and said "Oh~".

"Wayne, your reaction is wrong~ Could it be..."

He came over greasyly and speculated in a low voice: "Don't you have one at home, and you dare to have other thoughts?"

"What are you thinking? Boring."

Wayne pretended to go to the toilet and walked away.

After reporting to the teacher, he walked silently on the deserted forest path, worried.

Can you fake your feelings about liking someone?

Is the long-standing obsession that "there is only Chris in the world" just an illusion caused by the [setting]?

It's impossible.

He obviously really likes Chris.

Want to possess her.

Want to be with her forever.

She couldn't stand having anyone else around her.

Every sentence above comes from my true heart and is absolutely not false.

Wayne sighed deeply and sat down tiredly on a bench next to a big tree.

The dense branches and leaves provided him with shade.

Since you have decided from the beginning that you will marry Chris in the future, what are you struggling with now?

Just because of a few words I heard in my dream, I began to question my feelings. No matter how much I thought about it, it was too unreasonable.

...Even if there is the influence of something like the protagonist's halo, at most it's just that the initial favorability value is relatively high.

Isn’t every bit of progress after that achieved by one’s own efforts step by step?
