About the Case of Me Being Reincarnated as a Side Character Who Got Kicked Out Immediately Of The Story, but the Heroine, Who’s My Yandere Fiancée, Won't Leave Me Alone

Chapter 11: Party Invitation

After the incident of being kissed on the cheek, I was doing my best to calm my feelings.

Although I eventually regained my composure, I often found myself remembering the kiss, which was very troublesome.

“You have a lot of luggage, don’t you?”

“Ara, I forgot to mention it. I thought I’d stay over tonight.”

“Huh…?”

I was wondering what she was talking about…

But before I could react, Arisu, who seemed to have anticipated my reaction, continued speaking while crossing her arms under her breasts.

“I’ve already told your parents. They were both very happy and said yes.”

“……….”

Arisu is going to stay at my place tonight.

As for Amane-san, who has been standing behind me all this time, she seems to have opened up to Arisu quite a bit.

Although they had spoken a few times before, Arisu had never come to my house, so it was understandable. But they seemed to get along immediately after talking for a little while.

“I understand that Arisu is staying over. What about Masaki-san and Ichika-san?”

“Of course I didn’t tell them.”

I smiled wryly and left the room, saying I was going to the bathroom.

“Huh?”

“Oh, Nii-san.”

As I left the room, I came face to face with Minato.

“Yo, MInato.”

“Yeah.”

… Minato has also opened up to me quite a bit.

When I raised my hand and called his name, he ran to me like a puppy.

Although he has a handsome face similar to Akito’s, his high-pitched voice and short stature makes him look cute.

“Have you changed in some way, Minato?”

“You’re one to talk. I’m only acting this way because of the new you… Don’t make me say I’m clinging to you.”

“You said it yourself, didn’t you?”

Minato seems to really enjoy this exchange.

According to Minato, there was almost no interaction between us siblings before, and he seems to like our current relationship.

(How much did Akito hate him…)

To be honest, I even feel bad for Akito… But the more I hear about him, the more I only hear about his bad side, so those feelings have disappeared.

“Your guest seem to be quite lively.”

“Arisu is here.”

“Haha, Arisu-san is really enjoying herself. Although, there are some people grinding their teeth right about now.”

“I don’t want to know who…”

I’m also worried that I’ll be called by those two, Masaki and Ichika, to hear about the circumstances and various other things.

“Also, she’s apparently staying over.”

“Arisu-san?”

“Yeah.”

“Good luck.”

“With what?”

Minato, who was genuinely enjoying himself, suddenly tightened his expression.

“Oh, by the way, Nii-san.”

“Yeah?”

“Do you know what happened to them… including Maria?”

“No… What happened to them?”

Maria and the others… the entourage.

Although I had heard a bit of it from Arisu, it was something I was curious about since there was no complete detail. But does Minato know?

“It seems they’ve been confined to their homes for a long time. It seems they’ve done a lot of things before the party… Of course, it’s a punishment for that, and a correction so they won’t be an embarrassment when they go out again.”

“I see…”

Well, they probably didn’t take their lives or anything… Of course not.

“Oh, by the way, it seems that only they were doing those things, and you weren’t involved. Of course, the previous you was terrible, but it seems you were also being used as a convenient scapegoat.”

“I see…”

So, Akito was in a position like a leader of those guys, but in reality, he was just being used as a convenient tool… But even so, the fact that Akito was a fool and did those things doesn’t change.

“Well then, Nii-san, I’m going out now.”

“Yeah, sorry for stopping you.”

I parted ways with Minato and returned to my room after using the bathroom.

When I returned to the room, Arisu and Amane-san seemed to have become even closer, and both of them were laughing heartily as they chatted, which made me very curious about what topic they could have become so close on.

“Welcome back.”

I naturally sat next to Arisu and ate a cookie.

Among the tea snacks prepared, there were also Amane-san’s homemade cookies, which were really delicious and made me want to keep eating them.

“Oh, that’s right.”

Arisu continued speaking as if she had remembered something.

“Next Friday, I’ve been invited to a certain party.”

“Oh?”

A party… It’s no surprise in the world of the rich.

The Izayoi family, my family, is also invited as hosts sometimes, and Arisu is sometimes invited to such parties, but the frequency of us being invited as hosts is less than the Saijo family.

This is due to the power of the Saijo family, of course, but also because many families want to have connections with them.

“The Roland family… Remember the sisters from that family at school? It’s an invitation from their house.”

The Roland family… the heroine sisters, Filia and Sophia.

I think there was a similar depiction in the manga, but Arisu and they didn’t have that much of a connection… So this party probably doesn’t have much meaning for Arisu.

“With this, the connections of the Saijo family will become even stronger, won’t they?”

“I guess that’s up to my parents and brother. And the main point is from here on out… Akito-san, would you come to attend the party with me?”

“Huh…?”

“Won’t you come to the party with me?”

I was surprised by Arisu’s unexpected proposal, but she continued to explain the circumstances in detail.

“At these parties, it’s not uncommon for fiancés to accompany their partners. Of course, I won’t have any role, but there are many families who want to have connections with the Saijo family… That’s why I want you to be by my side.”

“Huh…”

“I’m anxious…”

Arisu expressed her genuine anxiety with shaking eyes.

But I wasn’t fooled by her appearance… Arisu wouldn’t feel anxious about such a thing, and she’s the type to take advantage of it.

“I understand.”

However, I didn’t refuse her proposal.

Even though I knew it was an act, I nodded instead of refusing because I thought her expression, which looked anxious, was cute, and because I thought I might regret it if something happened… So I thought I had to protect her, and that was my loss.

“By that tone, you realize my true intentions?”

“I lost.”

“You lost?”

“Yeah… I knew you weren’t anxious at all. But if something happened, even if it was just a possibility, I would regret it… So I thought I had to protect you, and that was my loss.”

“I see… yeah…”

“Akito-sama is truly amazing. This is Arisu-sama’s loss.”

But… I could probably just accompany her to the party.

Arisu doesn’t ask for more than that, and she doesn’t flatter me more than necessary… In that way, I can tell that she’s considering my words about feeling the weight of the Izayoi name.

(It’s like… she’s scaring me by coming into my heart so aggressively.)

Humans are incredibly weak to kindness and consideration.

I especially feel this as Akito… Of course, that person is Arisu, and I honestly think she’s great because she doesn’t show her yandere side, which I saw in the manga and anime.

(Arisu is great, but Amane-san is also kind… It’s really nice that she looks at me as an individual.)

At the same time, I can’t help but wonder why Akito, with these wonderful people by his side, became so twisted… But that’s something only Akito can understand.

Anyway, I should remember that there’s a party at the Roland family’s house coming up.

Even though Arisu will be by my side, if I do something strange, it will reflect badly on the Westoria family… That’s why I want to take the burden off my shoulders, but… Oh, well.

However, the immediate problem was that night.

“Are you serious?”

“Yes, I am.”

That night, I was dealing with Arisu, who wouldn’t back down and insisted on us sleeping together.
