I Became a Stalker in a Yandere Dating Sim - Chapter 106
106. Overcoming a Crisis
What could be going on in the professor’s mind, who always said this was the most exciting part, even putting insomniacs to sleep?
Since entering the dungeon, countless pieces of knowledge had accumulated.
At the end of it all, she encountered a centipede made of oparts, a product of the forgotten ancient techniques, triggered by some unknown catalyst.
A clash between consciousness and the unconscious had occurred.
Erin’s myriad thoughts related to calculations resonated like a massive hologram, appearing visually before her.
It was as if she could hear her innermost thoughts, while countless formulas and logics danced around her like a hologram, reminiscent of a sci-fi movie.

‘This is a bit…’
Even Roxer, who trained without hesitation to become stronger, shuddered.
I was curious, but it felt like I was being given an explanation so deep that it was almost incomprehensible, as if there was no need for it to be this way.
Erin’s realization made Rika unconsciously think, “What is this? It’s scary.”
As Rika subtly hid behind Roxer and crossed her arms naturally, Roxer felt an inexplicable sense of relief.
‘So I’m not the only one freaking out?’
On a normal day, I would have wondered why this girl was acting up again.
“Hey, is it really okay to leave Erin like that?”
Instead, Rika looked up at Erin’s crazed mind as if she were watching a bomb about to explode, filled with concern.
“I don’t know either; it’s scary.”
Rika and I, who somewhat understood why people avoid mad scientists, felt an odd sense of camaraderie.
“This grotesque product of magical engineering!!! I’ll make it rest forever!!!”
Especially when Erin’s inner thoughts became so intense that it was hard to tell if it was the artifact’s effect or if Erin was speaking directly, we both flinched together, feeling somewhat reassured.
“Why are you both so surprised? Is there something wrong with Erin??”
Jane, who was quite bold and shameless, approached with a face full of curiosity, genuinely worried about Erin.
“Does that look normal to you? The girl is talking like her eyes are about to roll back!”
Rika was taken aback, subtly unsure of what to do.
Is it some kind of maternal instinct?
“…She’s always been a bit strange… but she looks happy, so let’s just leave her be.”
That said, I couldn’t just wipe the taste of fear from Erin’s mind to cancel her awakening, so I decided to just watch.
“I’ll finish it by overlapping the alchemical formula multiple times!!!”
“Please, just finish it quickly-!”
In response, Erin, like an idol, gathered her magical power with such intensity that it seemed ready to break through the sky and even the OOPArts dungeon.
Roxer supported her with a fervent expression that matched the raging magical energy.
“■■●■■■”
Eventually, she filled the surroundings with a sound that made one wonder if it was even humanly possible, using alchemical language.
At first, she was embarrassed, but now she was skillfully utilizing her inner thoughts as if they were a chant, amplifying her magic.
She even managed to articulate a form of alchemical language that was impossible for a human to speak.
“Ugh—!!! It feels like someone filled my ears with water and set off a bomb!!”
“What is this!? Is it a mental attack?? Ugh— my stomach is churning.”
—
“Wow!? It feels like my body is disassembling and ringing! Roxer! Can I do this too?”
As the trio seemed to be on the verge of throwing up from motion sickness.
“Heh…”
Ciel rolled her tongue in her mouth with a rather ecstatic expression.
The three, sensitive to the atmosphere, couldn’t possibly miss it, but they all shouted vigorously at Erin, who was floating in the air, as if they were residents complaining about noise.
“Erin, hurry up and finish!!! I really feel like I’m going to throw up-!!!”
“Teach me that too!!!”
“Add more! The kids seem to be okay with it, so make it more intense…!”
“Jane, should we tie Ciel up and protest?”
“Should we… do that?”
As Ciel made a face as if she would oppose fiercely and run off somewhere, Rika looked at Jane with a horrified expression, seeking help.
But somehow, because of Ciel’s state, which seemed like an unknown lily flower would bloom if they touched her now, they hesitated to intervene.
“Ah, I’m really going to lose my ears!! Hey, Erin!!!!”
Roxer was also afraid that if he touched Ciel now, Jane might follow suit, and if Rika caught him, he didn’t know what would happen to him at night, so he tried to resolve the noise pollution that was Erin.
But no matter how much he called, it seemed like she was lost in her own world.
“Yeah ~ I can’t hear you ~ ■■■■.”
Maybe she was pretending not to hear on purpose because there was so much built up.
Erin continued to scratch Roxer with some strange alchemical language, as if she hadn’t heard him at all.
The potential of him and the others was high enough that it was just a minor annoyance, but the massive centipede, a combination of gigantic O-PARTS, was paralyzed in the magic circuit just by chanting the spell.
Eventually, as if she realized the alchemical incantation from the perspective of a non-chanting spell.
{“[■●■■■■●!”}
“…Wow, she’s doing that.”
When Roxer barely reached the limit of the wizard class, he saw a special incantation being cast with countless lights.
Especially, all the colors turned into a muted gray, losing their hue, making it feel as if there was a sound cancellation in his vision, writhing bizarrely in Erin’s domain.
It was hard to endure the ear pain, and now he was experiencing a strange sensation along with a visceral motion sickness, making him feel like he was going to die from it.
“What is this? It feels similar to the shadow thing I use?”
“Really? Mine feels a bit different from Rika’s, but somehow comfortable.”
“Go go go go…!”
Rika and Jane had a similar level of magical power and strength swirling around them, but Ciel, with a face that seemed oblivious to such things, was truly on the verge of collapsing.
“…….”
“…….”
At the moment when they were hesitating about what to do.
“Ughhh-!!! I can’t take it anymore!!!”
Roxer, feeling nauseous and about to vomit, ran to Erin.
Roxer’s strength was not due to rank but rather something alien, reacting to everything as if her whole body was having an allergic reaction.
“I can see everything under your panties!!!!!”
Finally, she ran under Erin’s skirt and raised her finger to the sky, revealing her trump card.
—
“Huh? Go ahead, say it, you pervert.”
Rika’s finger poked at the frozen expression on Rockser’s cheek, acting as if she would let him go painlessly if he answered obediently.
“…Erin! Hurry up and get rid of that monster!!”
In moments like this, he had to ignore it for now and somehow steer the topic away, so he pointed at the giant centipede that was about to charge in, as if bursting with enthusiasm.
“Hey, you idiot!!! The mana has already been perturbed beyond the minimum unit, compressed in a high-density, multi-dimensional way, and instead of fusion, it’s causing a collapse! How are we supposed to stop that!!!!”
At that, Erin shot him a glare, saying he should have dealt with it earlier.
“Hey, you know-it-all kid!?”
“I’m not a kid, I’m Erin!?”
“Rockser? While Erin handles that, can you take a moment to look at me?”
As Erin’s temper flared, as if it was too late, Rika, exuding an aura of executioner-level intensity, tried to take Rockser somewhere.
