It’s a weekday evening and Angelina is in her room playing the otome game Knight Enchantment. She’s wearing a cute light pink pajama set with ribbon bows on it.
I love Zen so much. Angelina thought to herself.
She put down the gaming console and laid back on bed to think and daydream.
His personality, his looks, I love everything about him. I would marry him if he were real~ but he’s only a character in an otome game.
His hair is my favourite colour purple, and his eyes are red like a ruby. Big eyes, long eyelashes, slim, and cute. He’s a yandere too.
The good thing about yanderes is that they won’t betray you. I don’t care if he stalks me, I love him anyway and if I’m ever in trouble he’ll be there. It’s also not like I have any affairs to hide. If he’s possessive or obsessive that’s just cute and amusing to me.
I wouldn’t mind if he locked me up in a cage, I don’t leave the house anyway…
I wonder if I would be his type, I have long pastel-coloured hair and purple eyes. The heroine is a bit skinnier than me, but I wonder if he’d like me too. It’s too bad he’s not even real.
The heroine is similar to me in some ways. We are both members of the church, attend sometimes, pray… she’s a pure maiden too.
I want to marry my true love and become a princess. I know the last one will probably never happen, but I like to dream. It’s fine if it doesn’t happen. It’s also fine if I never find my true love, I am okay with being single for my whole life. After all, I’d rather be single than be with someone who isn’t my true love. Being alone isn’t so bad. I’ve come to accept it and enjoy it. I don’t need any friends either. I will not lose to loneliness anymore. All I really need is myself and the things that make me happy…

The next day…
The school bell rang.
School is finally over. Now I can go home and play video games. Angelina thought.
She starts walking home as it starts to rain.
It would be nice to have a friend to walk home with, but I guess I should be grateful for what I have and just accept it.
All of a sudden, thunder roared in the sky and a lightning bolt came crashing down into Angelina.
“Ahh!” She cried out.
…
She opens her eyes to an unfamiliar place.
“Welcome. My name is Zera.”
“You are in heaven now, please be at ease.”
Angelina is in shock, trying to process what just happened.
“Your duty now is to directly serve God. I will train you now so you can join the ranks of the angels.”
The speaker reveals their self to be a young woman with long silver hair and blue eyes. She wears a floor length white dress and has white feathered wings on her back.
“What kind of training?” Angelina asked nervously.
“Various types of magic.”
Angelina’s eyes lit up in excitement.
Magic? I can’t wait!
Months go by.
“This is where you will be staying for the time being. Angels stay here while undertaking missions.” Zera said.
Alright, my first mission is to investigate some demonic activity at a high school. I must go undercover as a human student using my human form to get intel and potentially protect the students from demonic forces. I have to make sure I don’t reveal myself as an angel. They said to keep it hidden.
She is in her new bedroom getting ready for her first day at the school. She puts on her school uniform and looks in the mirror.
The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
“What kind of hairstyle should I do? Hmm…”
She puts her hair into pigtails with two buns at the top and looks in the mirror again. She ponders that it might stand out too much.
You know what, I don’t care what anyone thinks of me anymore. I like it so I’ll go with it.
Angelina walks into the classroom.
“We have a new student joining us. Her name is Angelina. Please make her feel welcome.” The teacher said.
Angelina looks around the classroom and one person catches her eye.
Wait a minute. That person looks exactly like Zen from my favourite otome game! And the person beside him looks exactly like his brother Zaph!
“You may sit in the seat behind Zen over there.” The teacher pointed.
“Okay.” Angelina said as she went to sit at the desk.
“Alright I’ll take attendance now.” The teacher said.
…
It’s them! They look the exact same and have same names as the characters in the game! My true love Zen is here! But… we can’t be together. I’m an angel and he’s a demon. They must be the demons I’m here to investigate too! I wonder where’s the heroine… maybe she hasn’t transferred to this school yet.
Class ends.
“Hey. That keychain on your backpack… it’s from Crystal Night right?” Zen said to Angelina.
“Oh, yeah.” Angelina replied.
“I like that game.”
“Me too!””
“Do you want to add me so we can play together sometime?”
“Sure!”
They exchanged player IDs.
Angelina starts walking home.
Heh… even in this new life the only thing I look forward to after school is going home to play games.
…
Angelina changes into her cute pajamas, puts on her headset, grabs her controller, and plays Crystal Night with Zen for hours. He lost 2-8.
“Will you be on again tomorrow?” Zen asked Angelina in the party chat.
“Probably.” Angelina replied.
“Well, I’m going off now. Good night.”
“Good night.”
Zaph shows up behind Zen.
“You didn’t rage like you usually do. Are you okay?” Zaph said.
“Go away.” Zen said.
For some reason I couldn’t get mad at her…
-Flashback-
In the past Zen would usually start raging over a game when he would be losing.
“Come on…” Zen pressed the buttons on the controller intensely.
“COME ON!” He pushed the buttons so hard they began to sink into the controller and break.
Zen smashed the controller on the ground over and over until it broke more and more in his hands. With every smash he swore chaotically. His rage was uncontrollable like he was going crazy. His eyes were filled with anger and wrath.
“%#*^$@ *$%#!” He then threw the controller across the room.
Zaph and Seph could hear everything from the other room.
“He’s raging again.” Zaph said.
-End of flashback-
✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* ༺☆༻ * :･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧
The next day at school Zen invites Angelina to have lunch with him.
They sit on the rooftop alone together.
“Did you bring a lunch?” Zen asked.
“Oh… no, I don’t eat lunch.” Angelina responded.
“Why not?”
“Because I…”
I can’t tell him in my past life I never ate lunch at school because I had no friends to eat with.
“… I don’t feel hungry during lunch time.”
That’s not a lie, I really have no appetite to eat during school lunch time.
“Oh, I see.” Zen said.
He takes out a bag of candies from his backpack. He opens it at starts eating one.
Zen loves candy, I remember that from the otome game. How cute. Angelina thought.
“Do you like candy?” Zen asked.
“Yes.”
“Do you want one?”
Zen offered me candy! I feel so special.
“Yes…” Angelina said shyly.
Zen holds the bag in front of her. She takes a candy out of the bag and puts it in her mouth.
“This is really good!”
“I don’t mind sharing it with you. I have a lot more at home.”
Zen puts the bag of candy opened on the ground in the space in between them.
“So what school did you come from?” Zen asked.
“I was homeschooled.”
“I see…” Zen looks suspicious.
“Are you from this town?” Angelina asked.
“Yes. I was born here.” Zen said.
“Oh… cool.”
What a lie! He was born in the demon world.
The school bell rings.
“We have to go back to class now.” Zen said.
“Alright. Thank you for having lunch with me.” Angelina said.
“No need to be so formal! We’re friends now aren’t we?” Zen said with a cute face.
“Friends… yes!” Angelina smiled.
Becoming friends with my favourite character… how exciting!
