Ugh... Yuuri...
And I would NOT be surprised if that other chick was around to stop that... stunt from happening all the way.
I may need to reread this one then to connect those dots. Been a long while since the earlier chaptersHmm actually this might make sense why his childhood friend is so yandere over him. My theory here is whatevers affecting the hero's is like an amplifier to their desires. They wanna get rid of MC and all that and harbour insane hatred for him cause they were always jealous of his pull with women. Thats why the princess and the childhood friend are so yandere for him and why the hero seems to be the only normal one (since I assume she's immune due to her blessing).
