I'll save the villainess! (GL)

"I love you!"

I declared, latching myself onto her arm. The woman before me looked surprised, flustered, even trying to pry me off her.

"I've never met you before! I don't know your name, and you're too young!" She exclaimed.

"I'm an admirer of yours, don't you remember? I'm Lilian!" I hugged her waist, looking up at her with the puppy-dog eyes that had always worked on my teacher.

The woman froze, then cleared her throat. "Even so, you're still too young," she explained, freezing for a moment when we locked eyes, though she quickly looked away.

"I really do love you, can't you give me a chance?" I pleaded, tugging on her sleeve. She sighed, swiping open her phone and opening an app.

"Where are your parents? Give me their number, I'll call them to pick you up," I huffed and held her wrist tightly.

"I'm not a child! I'm a full grown adult, mind you," she looked skeptical, her fingertips pausing over the dial pad.

"Will you listen to me now?" I furrowed my brows, opening my mouth to explain when I get cut off with a low, gurgling sound.

"..."

"..."

[Fragment has made contact with Lilian. System Transferring...]

"What was that?" My eyes widened.

"What happened, N/N?" Alisa asked, noticing my shocked reaction.

"The system... something happened,"

I grab onto the wall for support, standing up shakily. I slipped on my clothes, trying to open the system again.

"System?"

[...]

"It won't open now..." I bit my lip. Could something be happening with Lilian? Fragment had made contact with her... what was that supposed to mean?

"The system stopped working all of a sudden?" Elise asked, fixing her robe.

"Yeah, it stopped working completely.. I should check if anything else had been affected," pausing, I tried calling out, "Batman? Shiro? Kuro?"

"Here!"

"I'm tired..."

"They were bullying me again!"

Three small figures popped up in the room. Batman immediately rushed over to me, hugging my leg.

"Batman, the system suddenly stopped working.. do you feel any changes?"

"The system?" Batman shook his head.

"What did the system window say?" Shiro hopped onto the mattress, lying down.

"A fragment had come in contact with Lilian.. and that the system was transferring," I repeated thoughtfully.

"How is that possible?" Kuro joined in, pouncing onto Batman's small figure.
