The law of Fiction: Harem in the fiction world

"L-Liza, ugh listen. We were not talking badly about you. We were just-ugh-"

Everyone pretended like they were not interested in the conversation that was taking place but Yohan could see them trying to listen in secretly.

No matter how good of an actor these kids were, they could not hide their desire for chaos and mayhem in front of Yohan. And he did consider it an opportunity to divide the student party.

Luckily, Yohan held back his impulses to cause trouble. And it was all because Liza brushed off the awkward apology she was receiving right now.

"It doesn't matter what you all get up to in your free time. Nor do I care about your opinions since they don't affect me. If you want to gossip about me then you are free to do so. However, I will not tolerate you if you made me late for my classes."

Liza's eyes flashed at the last part, which surprised many people. They had never seen her get angry before so it was a first for most of them to see.

Those who had the displeasure of being paired with Liza before shivered as soon as they noticed her mood. Her displeasure shined brightly in her eyes.

"A-Ah, I see. Then we should all get back to class. Right guys?"

The gossip girl quickly stood up, realizing it was an opportunity to make a clean break. Everyone else followed after them but Yohan waited around for a bit.

His action did not go unnoticed by Liza and she raised her brow in a questioning manner. But this time it was Yohan who ignored her. And from Liza's actions, it did not seem like she minded his actions a lot.

"You should stay away from me if you know what is best for you."

Liza whispered those words when Yohan walked past her. He quickly looked back at Liza but she had turned her face away from him. Her attempt to avoid Yohan seemed genuine and desperate.

There was some kind of secret she was hiding which prevented her from getting closer to the others. Yohan was getting more and more certain of this face.

But what that secret was, Yohan had no idea. Nor was he invested enough to find out that secret from her mouth.

'I should follow the class now. I will get the secret out of Diantha later.'

"Ugh, where did that man go? Did the earth swallow him? Or did a beast crush him?"

Red hair framed a red face. Shizue watched her partner try her best to hack into the world's mainframe to find just a single person's profile. Bernetta was acting like she was possessed right now, her entire mind focused on finding that one human that fascinated him.

Frankly speaking, Shizue did not see the appeal in charging after a man like this. Both she and Bernetta were prime beauties with a defined carrier goal and a fixed income.

This made them an attractive package any man would want to date. There was no need for Bernetta to go out of her way and lose her mind like this.

"Bern, I think you should go to sleep now. You have been looking for that guy since forever now. If you have not found him yet then he likely does not exist in the database."

Shizue knew that her words were discouraging but she was trying to be rational here. She could not allow Bernetta to waste her precious time looking for a guy that might not even exist.

It had been very clear to Shizue that their target was an illegal immigrant who had snuck into the sector with foul technology.

The correct thing to do would be to report him to higher authorities and let them deal with such a dangerous individual. They were not equipped enough to deal with such a significant data breach.

If Bernetta was stubborn and had decided on being the one to solve this case. There would be no stopping her now.

"Shizue, shut up. I can feel that I am almost there. I can find that man if I try my best."

See! Bernetta was not even listening to Shizue now. She was doing what she wanted to do and this was causing Shizue to experience a headache.

"Fine! You can continue to keep your futile search up. Meanwhile, I will be checking up on the academy. There had been too many incidents of violence in the past few days and it's making me nervous."

Shizue had been a student of the academy so she was more than aware of what went around its hallways. It was a way of life that students either adapted to or ended up dying before graduation.

The academy sucked the life out of any other options available to them and was invalidated as well because of the strict ruling that looked over the school. These students were bound and they did not even know it.

"Bernetta, my fight against injustice is not futile. How many times do I have to tell you not to make light of my ambitions?"

"Yeah, I got it. You are free to follow your ambitions and I am free to look for my man. I just need to get a hit in the search section and I will…"

Bernetta went quiet all of a sudden. This pause caused Shizue to look toward her with eager eyes. It was not often that something happened that managed to render Bernetta speechless. And Shizue wanted to see what it was this time.

"What's wrong Bern? Did you finally decide to give your search? Or did you find another topic to occupy your mind? You should not allow your head to wander around or you will find yourself in trouble…"

Shizue had intended to tease Bernetta when she opened her mouth. But even she was taken aback by the display on Bernetta's screen.

The tab she current had opened showed the image of their target. Yohan Strout's face covered more than half of the screen and Shizue was surprised to see the location marked on the screen.

"Bern, no. I know you are obsessed with this child but we should leave him alone now. We are not going to chase after him in the academy."

Shizue instantly denied whatever Bernetta was thinking about. She had seen Bernetta's curious face before and that was why she knew how much trouble both of them were going to end up being in.

Not to mention, Bernetta had no self-control when it came to the things she liked. She was also only enthusiastic about things that catch her attention.

Shizue was about to exit the room when she felt hands sneak beneath her top and linger on her chest. Shizue knew how sensitive her body was and she never hesitated to make use of this fact.

She needed to put an end to this before Bernetta ended up convincing her about her horrible idea.

"Sh~iz~ue. You will help me out, right? You won't let your precious friend go into the danger zone alone, right?"

Shizue knew it was a horrible idea to even entertain such thoughts. But she ended up giving in to Bernetta in the end. It was something she always ended up doing anyway so she no longer saw any point in fighting against her partner.

And it was not like she would be able to stop Bernetta from doing what she wanted.
