Chapter 116 Go Big Or Go Home!
hugo leaned against the door of his room, taking deep breaths to calm the storm in his chest.
his brain was running faster than a hamster on a wheel, spinning out some of the craziest scenarios. 'what if lily turns into one of those yandere girls from anime?'
he had watched his fair share of anime to know that obsessed was usually not the right word.
it often held deeper, more sinister implications.
he could already picture it: her following him everywhere, popping out from behind lockers, whispering, "you're mine forever, hugo," with a creepy smile.
he shuddered.
'she'd probably kidnap me, tie me to a chair, and feed me spaghetti while glaring at me like i was the pasta thief of the century. heck, she probably wouldn't allow me to see the sunlight for six years!'
"get it together, hugo," he muttered, shaking his head. 'focus! the real problem isn't yanderes or pasta—it's the system mission.'
he glanced at the glowing words floating in his mind:
[system alert: less than 24hrs left until complete eradication.]
the word "eradication" was in bold, just in case hugo needed a reminder that this wasn't a joke.
even if it had been in cursive, hugo would have still shuddered all the same. he was beginning to be filled with a kind of crazed desperation as the time neared and he was doing his very best to not let it show.
he was going crazy!
he checked his watch, and his stomach flipped. the glowing hands screamed at him in bold, unforgiving numbers: 8:03 pm.
'four hours left?! four measly hours?! was that going to be enough to seal the deal with lily? yes, she just said she loves me, but i didn't tell her back. what if she pops a lisa on me and also says no sex until i confess to her or something?!'
he glanced at lily, who was casually sitting on the edge of his bed, completely unaware of the panic flooding his veins. she looked so calm, so peaceful, as if his entire existence didn't hang in the balance.
"so, uh," hugo began, trying not to sound desperate. "should we, uh, head back to the truth or dare game? you know, where everyone is?"

back in his room, hugo decided it was time to pull out the big guns. he rummaged through his desk drawer and pulled out his secret weapon: the delight candles.
the system had gifted them to him during a gift box spin, and he hadn't found a proper time and place to use them since that time. but now? now they were his saving grace.
[delight candles (magical grade)]
[description: three magical candles that increase the arousal of any female who inhales their scent over time. warning: handle with care. results may vary depending on mood and environment.]
hugo lit all three candles with the precision of a bomb squad technician. the soft glow bathed the room in a warm, golden light, and a sweet, alluring scent began to fill the air.
he glanced at lily, who was leaning back on his bed, her expression relaxed and her eyes half-closed. the candles were already working their magic.
as the fragrance began to spread, hugo's thoughts turned dangerous. 'alright, hugo. this is it. go big or go home. no stopping tonight until you're in her panties.'
his gaze shifted to lily's glowing face, and his heart pounded like a drum. 'she looks so perfect, so serene... wait, no! don't get distracted! focus on the mission!'
the candles' fragrance thickened, and hugo felt a surge of determination. 'it's now or never.'
