## Chapter
- number: 37
- release_date: 2025-03-12

### Summary
Following the previous chapter's cliffhanger, the narrative confirms Jerry Route survived being struck by a carriage, an event readers widely suspect was a deliberate attack rather than an accident. This near-death experience triggers the fiercely protective and possessive "yandere" nature of Fourth Prince Ilya, escalating the very traits Jerry fears. The central conflict, however, shifts back to the antagonistic game system, which is a primary source of reader frustration. The system capitalizes on the perilous situation by presenting Jerry with a terrifying new route prompt for Ilya. The details of this route appear to confirm the "bad endings" from the guidebook, suggesting a future where Ilya will imprison Jerry for his "protection." This forces Jerry into a corner, feeling hunted by a system that pushes him toward futures he desperately wants to avoid. The development has sharply divided the readership; while many are horrified and pity Jerry's plight, a significant portion of fans are thrilled by the dark, obsessive trope and actively encourage him to accept the dangerous path. The chapter ends on this new cliffhanger, with Jerry forced to confront the choice of entering a relationship defined by obsession and confinement.
