Chapter 110 : Erich’s Secret

Erich felt that he was accused and mistreated. He swore that the book didn’t belong to him, and he didn’t know why it on in his room.

As evidence, Erich had already forgotten the book’s existence from the first day of vacation when he returned home.

The real events were precisely like this.

“Hey, I got something interesting from my sister. Do you want to see it?”

The starting point was when a male student in the same department took a strange book out of his bag one day. And Erich could easily read the book because the two people in the conversation were sitting diagonally.

“Lady Deborah’s sweet love affair.” Erich snorted, laughing at the title of the book at first glance.

“What’s this, is this what the girls read?”

“You idiot, how could there be gender division of men and women in something like this? And it’s because you don’t know. Why do girls like books like this?” The boy who recommended the book opened his mouth in bewilderment.

But his friend’s reply to his statement was bold.

“Isn’t this book sold like hotcakes because of its ‘feeding’ women? Then you can find out what women like by reading this.”

His friend’s voice was shallow as if he was telling his own secret. However, it was loud enough to be heard by Erich, who was sitting in the back seat.

“If you do what’s written here, you’ll get nine out of ten. My brother read this and practiced it after fighting with his fiancee, and he said the atmosphere was good.”

The male student who heard that suddenly was tempted.

Since the transition from middle school to high school, there’s a growing trend of students interested in this subject. It was a natural phenomenon, but Erich was laughed at by the men who were eager to seduce girls in such ways.

What’s more, that’s a stupid way, wasn’t it?

However, after hearing Erich’s laugh, a boy sitting in front of his desk suddenly turned his head towards him.

“Oh, are you interested, too? There’s one more. Do you want to see it?”

“Get rid of it. I didn’t see it because I was interested, I saw it because it was funny.” Erich refused at once.

The boy, who knew Erich’s personality, shrugged his shoulders and turned his head again without recommending it twice.

“I’ll give you one.”

Erich kicked his tongue as he watched the boy whispered secretly in front of him.

But unexpectedly, that ridiculous romance novel quickly spread like a trend among male students. It’s happened when the rumors circulated that a student had confessed to someone as written in the book, and it was a huge success.

‘A Lady’s Secret Confession’

‘The Secret Chastity of the First Imperial Sword’

‘Why Did Lady Deborah Feed Only The Vagabond Knight?’

All kinds of books with embarrassing titles wandered around the classroom. Erich laughed in vain when he saw that such a thing was treated similarly to a love textbook among male students.

“Erich, come on. You should try to read it. This story is really good!”

Ever since Erich had rejected the book last time, a boy who started pretending to be friendly approached him again. If he wasn’t mistaken, he said his name was Kimberson?

“I don’t need it.”

“Ay, you’ll change your mind once you read it.” Despite Erich’s irritating reaction, Kimberson didn’t frown at all and kept bothering him.

And, on the long-awaited vacation day, Erich, who returned to Ernst, found an unknown book in his bag.

‘The Master’s Dangerous Education.’

“Ha?” Erich’s face was crumpled.

Just by looking at the book’s title, he could already guess who was responsible for it. When did he put this book in someone else’s bag?

“Woof, woof!”

Then, Penny ran through the open door.

“Penny.”

“Woof, woof!”

“What’s wrong, you wanna go for a walk? Shall we go out together now?”

Erich talked in an affectionate voice, hugging the golden-haired puppy and idling around. Students and others at the Academy who knew Erich’s usual appearance would open their mouth wide, couldn’t believe it.

“Erich!”

Then he heard Hari call him at the door. Erich was startled and threw away the book he had on his lap under the bed.

“Penny, are you there?” asked Hari.

“Why?”

“No, I take Penny for a walk today. But I guess she wants to go with you.”

Fortunately, Hari didn’t seem to notice his suspicious behavior.

“Why, let’s go together.”

“Huh? You want to go for a walk with me?”

“What! That’s not it, just it seemed that you wanna go with me!”

“Oh, fine, I’ll go with you if you really want to.”

“No, it’s not!”

Erich took Penny and went out of the room with Hari.

---

After that, he completely forgot about the book he left under his bed until his vacation was over, and he went back to the Academy.

After Erich left the mansion, his room was cleaned up.

That day, a maid in charge of cleaning his room found that book under the bed and shook her eyes quickly.

After that, Erich didn’t know that Hari found the book and read it after the maid put it on the table.

“Erich! Did you see what I put in your bag? How was it? Was it good? That must have been a little hot!”

However, when he saw Kimberson’s tangled face, pretending as his friend again, Erich remembered the existence of the book he had forgotten all of a sudden.

So, when Hari suddenly contacted him through the communication channel, telling him about the book, Erich was really shocked.

“What?! Did you see the book?!” Erich asked in fear.

“I must say, that’s not mine!”

Erich made a hurried excuse to Hari, who was talking on the channel. However, it wasn’t an excuse, but a fact. He swore that he never read a single letter of such a nasty book!

But, Hari’s response was totally unexpected.

[Oh, yeah?] Then bring me something else.]

“What? Something else?”

[No, hmm. The book is quite fun to read.]

Boom!

At that moment, Erich felt a shock as if he had been hit in the back of his head.

What? That book was worth reading? Suddenly Erich remembered what Kimberson had said to his friend.

‘Why would girls like books like this? These books sold like hotcakes because it’s ‘feeding’ the women.’

Oh, my God, was that the answer? No, but it was surprising that Hari liked the book with the smut title, and what else?

“You, are you telling me to get a book like that?”

[I can get it if I want, but I’ll lose my face. But you said that in the Academy everyone already knows and reads it?]

Hari’s confident attitude made Erich grumbled and unable to utter a word of rejection.

---

“Hey, give me another book.”

The next day, he went to visit Kimberson.

While chatting alone in the dormitory room, he opened his eyes when he saw Erich.

“Hey, you finally opened your eyes! Okay, what do you want? What type of girl do you like? Sexy? Cute? Sisterhood? I just visited the other kids, and they gave me something to read.”

“Oh, just give me anything.”

Erich was irritated by the shame that he wanted to bury his face right now. However, Kimberson thought Erich was getting nervous because he was embarrassed. So, he didn’t say anything and took out all the books he had hidden under his desk.

Then she ushered Erich to the door and giggled, “Then have a good time!”

········ How did this happen? Erich suddenly became skeptical, holding up the book and was devastated. It was grossly unfair, but there was no place to get rid of that feeling.

She was the one who reads this book, but It was he who held back the shame! It’s so unfair!

At that moment, Erich made up his mind.

Yes, let’s see.

Yes, let’s see. Let’s looked at it and less the unfairness. It wouldn’t be a problem if I read this book!

Erich walked to his room with determine steps.

That night he stayed up all night reading books. And following Hari, Erich also entered a new world.

Of course, it was his own secret.
