"Anyway, this song you wrote is good. I'd like to cover it."

"Sure, but--"

"Great. Whenever I sing or play your work, everyone can't help but bow. Someday, when you learn to sing in public, I'll tell them you wrote those songs they love so much."

He patted your shoulder. "Remember what I said. Attend your classes, okay? I have to go practice now. See you around."

And then he left.

"Talk about eat-and-run."

[The male lead is ... I cannot find the words.]

"His performance can't help but leave one speechless. Another Oscar-winner of a protagonist," you said, walking to the kitchen to find some junk food.

[More importantly--Host, why did you let him take the song?!]

"I was testing him."

You tore open a bag of potato chips and plopped down on the sofa. "Uwak, are you familiar with the phrase 'the passion of the cut sleeve'?"

The system went to go search.

[Ding! It's a Chinese euphemism for homosexuality.]

"Correct. It came from the story of Emperor Ai and Dong Xian, who often napped together. One time, the emperor woke up first, and because he didn't want to disturb his lover, he cut his sleeve instead.

"Uwak, have you noticed something similar between this world and the previous world?"

[If I have to give one answer, it's that the two worlds are close to your reality.]

"Yes, and what's more, this RPG world references real-world countries like China and Japan. It's safe to assume that the male lead who prides himself for being well-read knows the tale of the cut sleeve."

The system wondered why the Host was telling it this, when suddenly it realized:

[Did Host rename the song "Cut Sleeve" because you wanted to see his reaction?]

"Correct again. I wanted to give him one last chance in proving himself worthy of mercy. But it was as I predicted, he's beyond help. This man's been playing with the original owner from the start. He approached the weak, timid MC not out of the goodness of his heart but because he wants to make himself shine. When outsiders look at us, they'll think he's kind and patient. When they grew up Theo became more ambitious. Not only does he string MC along, he steals his friend's music and makes flimsy excuses for it."

You spat out, "Wait for me, Theo, I'll wash that self-righteous smile right off your smug face!"

[But Host, what are you going to do with Asmodeus? He already agreed to sing for you, how're you going to convince him to withdraw?]

You only hummed, "Don't worry," and went to find another bag of chips.

Meanwhile, in the campus official dormitory, Für Elise was heard inside Asmodeus' room.

--( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) WARNING--

Clothes thrown on the floor, Asmodeus sat on a pillow, his thin hips grinding seductively.

"MC ... "

He recalled your face, sickly but lovely, a flower in winter. He pictured your calloused fingers on his flesh.

He dragged his hand over his thigh and up his stomach then over a pink bud on his chest, imagining that it was you.

" Ah ... "
