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

"Uwak, are you sure this is the male lead?"

[Answering the Host, that is most definitely Theo, the male lead.]

"I expected someone more beautiful."

Although in his defense, Theo was more handsome than most men. He stood taller than you and had that smoldering stare down pat. But compared to Asmodeus, this guy was a dud.

What a letdown.

[Host, the male lead is more known for his talent than looks.]

You almost clicked your tongue. The male lead was supposed to be the Campus King of Song in contrast to Asmodeus' Heavenly Male God. And the line between mortal and divine was clear.

It's not just about looks, charisma and character are also important!

You raised your chopsticks. "Hey Theo, my new song, want to hear it?"

"Finish your food first, and don't talk with your mouth full."

"Okay ... "

You quietly finished your meal. The original owner preferred Western delicacies but because his beloved liked Chinese food, he changed his tastes. Or at least he pretended.

You drank your tea and stood.

"Where do you think you're going?" Theo asked.

"Uh, but the song ... "

"Help me clean up the dishes. I told you being a rich boy is no excuse for being lazy."

Ahhh, you wanted to dropkick this guy. Even though he knew that you had maids, employees that were paid well , he insisted on doing the chores. All that so he could raise himself up as "a diligent, down-to-earth model student." Ugh.

You had no choice but to do the dishes while he wiped the table.

You scrubbed the plates furiously. In life and in death you had to wash the dirty dishes. To hell with that!

"Just you wait, just you wait, you piece of--"

[My Host, please endure!]

The system: please don't throw a saucer at the male lead and collapse your settings!

With the last of the plates and chopsticks rinsed, you went to the living room. The male lead was standing over the piano with the pink folder in his hands.

"You finally saw ... " You whispered. "D-do you want me to play for you?"

He closed the folder. "No need."

"But ... "

"By the way, I heard you're missing classes again."

"T-that's because the d-doctor said not to overdo it."

"Overdo what? You've always been like this, fainting and cutting school. Think about your parents, MC. They'd be so disappointed to learn their only son is wasting their money blah blah blah"

You meekly stared at him. His mouth opened and closed.

"Hey, Uwak."

[?]

"Permission to hit the male lead?"

[Denied.]

Tch.

You didn't talk until you were sure he was done. "I-I understand, Theo. I'll work harder."

"As long as you get it."

He then grinned. As expected of the male lead, when he smiles he shines. He only needed to show that expression to the original MC and the latter would be weak in the knees.
