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 2: Stick to the lie, push through the bluff.

Chapter 2: Stick to the lie, push through the bluff.

(I can do it… I can do it!)

The atmosphere in the party venue now was one of confusion.

From the stage, I felt a definite response… rather, at the moment when Arisu rounded her eyes, I had won the bet.

“Akito-sama? What are you saying…? It’s already been half a year since the enrollment ceremony.”

“…… What?”

I feigned surprise, emphasizing my shock.

But of course, Akito was an ikemen, and even this expression of surprise suited him.

“Akito-sama! What are you saying?! We came here not to say such meaningless things!”

“…… I’m being completely serious.”

Yes, I was working very hard to break the current situation.

The woman standing in front of me—she has the same role as me, to be humiliated—stepped forward and pointed at Arisu.

“I’m here today to make an accusation! I’ve been harassed by that person ever since I enrolled!”

Deden—wasn’t that the sound effect in the manga and anime?

Arisu, addressed by Maria, stared back at her without blinking, and her posture was that of a true winner.

(These guys… I mean, these guys are really stupid.)

I sigh again at Maria and the others’ stupidity.

As I said before, there is no evidence to back up their false accusations, and it’s really pathetic to see Maria’s words being affirmed by her infatuation.

Furthermore, this party’s host was the Saijou Family. They were basically ruining a party held by the Saijou family.

“That’s right. I’ve heard all about your evil deeds from Maria!”

“You can’t get away with it!”

“You’re such a cold and dirty woman.”

“I won’t forgive you even if you cry.”

As if they were on the right path, I was left behind.

I could only see their backs, but I could tell that they were giving Arisu a look of complete satisfaction.

(…What are you spacing out for? If you do nothing, nothing will change!)

If I do nothing, I’ll be nothing but seaweed in the ocean… I don’t want that!

When I took another step, Arisu’s gaze caught me… rather, she had been glancing at me since earlier.

She probably thought I was at the bottom of the earth, but I didn’t want to suffer such an absurd fate and disappear!

“Hey, you guys—”

I was about to tell them to shut up, but my voice was cut off.

“Please be quiet for a moment.”

A quiet voice echoed.

Maria and the others fell silent at the voice, and looked at its owner.

“Nii-san, there’s something I need to ask you.”

Nii-san… his name was Izayoi Minato.

As his surname suggested, he was Akito’s younger Nii-san, and he was an incredible ikemen, but he also looked cute because he was still in middle school.

After Akito’s foolish actions, he became the official heir of the Izayoi family, and he even called Akito a filthy thing that he didn’t even want to mention by name.

“Nii-san, may I ask you a question?”

“Umm… yeah…”

“Nii-san, do you really mean it when you said that today is the day after the enrollment ceremony?”

“Yeah… I thought so, but it seems like I have some kind of memory gap with everyone…”

However, as I was being questioned like this, I felt a switch turn on inside me.

I wasn’t particularly good at lying, and I didn’t have the guts to bluff, but maybe Akito was that kind of person.

“W-wait, what about our words—”

“Didn’t I tell you to be quiet?”

“Hihh!?”

Minato’s gaze made Maria let out a small scream.

Maria hid behind her entourage… well, they were her friends, but I’ll just call them an entourage. She trembled, but Minato just laughed at her.

“Nii-san, it’s already been half a year since the enrollment ceremony.”

“…… It seems so.”

“You really don’t remember? From the time you enrolled until today, you were obsessed with that woman, right? You only did things that would soil the Izayoi family’s name by leaving your fiancée behind… don’t you remember all of that?”

“…………”

I couldn’t immediately respond to Minato’s rapid-fire words.

I tried to get through it by using lies and bluffs, but in the end, I was just an ordinary person until just a moment ago… that’s why I was so scared of Minato’s gaze.

(I guess… it’s no good?)

I thought I could do it, but is this really the end…?

There was no one on my side in this situation except for those idiots… so I couldn’t even ask for help.

“…… I don’t know anything.”

That’s all I could say with my muddled head.

I mean, it’s the truth, you know? I was indeed Akito, but I had no memory of being obsessed with Maria or soiling the Izayoi family’s name… so I had no choice but to say something like that.

“You don’t… seem to be lying.”

“…… Eh?”

“You’re not lying, Nii-san.”

… Huh?

I raised my face, as if a ray of light had shone on my sinking heart. Minato, with his hand on his chin, seemed to be thinking about something, but could this mean that I still had a chance…!?

I saw hope in the chance that was once again tilting in my favor!

“Minato, I…”

Indeed, lies and bluffs are powerful in any situation!

Convinced of this, I tried to continue speaking, but I couldn’t utter the next words.

That’s because she… Arisu, had come in front of me.

“…………”

“…… Arisu?”

I, who was just a reader and viewer, felt a resistance to calling her noble name… man, this girl is really beautiful.

(This girl will eventually become such a Yandere, or rather, a heavy girl… it’s crazy, what’s going on?)

By the way, I think there are several types of Yandere.

If I had to explain it, Arisu was the type that would pamper her partner to the extreme and make them dependent on her, and she would never bring out a knife or anything like that.

“…………”

“Hey…?”

Arisu reached out and touched my left cheek.

Of course, I stopped moving in surprise, but Maria was the only one who seemed to have a different reaction.

“Hey! Don’t touch Akito-sama so casually!”

Well, I am her fiancée, so it’s not really forbidden… but thanks to Maria’s nonsensical statement, I was able to come to my senses, so I wanted to thank her for that.

“…………”

Arisu glanced at Maria and said nothing, and her red eyes pierced me again… this world is set in modern Japan, and there are no other races besides humans, but even so, Arisu, whom I saw with my own eyes, boasted an otherworldly beauty, and she also had a seductive aura that made my head spin.

“…… You seem to have had something happen to you.”

“…… Eh?”

Oh… her voice is so beautiful!?

I was overwhelmed by an incredible excitement, it was just like the voice actress who played her.

“You’ve never blushed like that when I touched you. And I can’t see the look of disgust you used to give me since you enrolled… yes, I can say with certainty—something must have happened to you.”

I felt that her words had given me a glimmer of hope in the current situation.

But I couldn’t let my guard down… the seeds of my destruction were still smoldering.

“…… You’re really cute.”

“…… Eh?”

… Huh!?

I didn’t think I was letting my guard down, but I ended up speaking my true feelings, or rather, my honest thoughts… but maybe it was better that I said that she was “cute.”

If I had said something like “sexy,” who knows what would have happened… in any case, what can I do from here?

“…… Wait, what?”

At that moment, I felt a sudden weakness in my body.

By the time I realized that it was something more than just a dizzy spell, I had lost consciousness… but the last thing I remembered was the soft sensation that enveloped my face.

(When I wake up, what will I become…?)

“…… Hmm?”

I opened my eyes, feeling a blinding light, and was greeted by an unfamiliar ceiling.

“…………”

I was lying on a warm bed, not on a cold floor, which gave me some relief, but at the same time, I understood that becoming Akito was not a dream.
