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 8: As her fiancé, I have to say this:

Chapter 8: As her fiancé, I have to say this:

Toudou Kouki—that’s the name of the handsome guy standing in front of me.

In terms of family scale, his is about the same as mine, the Izayoi family.

From my perspective, as an outsider looking in,Akito disappeared before the story even began, so I didn’t have any interactions with Toudou. But judging by his behavior, it’s clear that he was after Arisu from the very beginning.

“Greetings.”

“…Erm…”

“…”

“…”

Arisu seems completely uninterested in Toudou. She didn’t even look at him when nor returned his greeting, which is so unlike her usual self.

“Haa…”

Arisu sighed as Toudou showed no signs of backing down and continued to stay. Finally, she looked at him.

“What do you want?”

“Y-yes! Actually, after school today… I wanted to invite you to my house—”

“I decline.”

Arisu cut Toudou off before he could finish speaking.

(As I thought…)

I expected this outcome. Everyone wants a piece of the Saijo family’s power, and Arisu used to be approached daily before I became her fiancé… Some of those people were probably under orders from their parents, but there were also those who were drawn to Arisu’s appearance.

Akito is probably looked down upon as well, and people probably think that an unbridgeable gap has formed between Arisu and me because of the recent scandal.

(I wonder why there’s no gap between us…)

Even though we’ve overcome that situation… I really wonder why.

…But it’s also embarrassing to see Arisu looking so obviously annoyed. Toudou took action because of me, and he was kind enough to consider my feelings just now. I shouldn’t repay that kindness by ignoring him.

“Toudou.”

I stood up, blocking Toudou’s view of Arisu.

“I think it’s inappropriate to invite someone who’s engaged to your house. It’s not just a matter of manners; it’s just not something that happens in normal circumstances.”

“Hah! Are you the one to say that when you were lusting after a pathetic woman despite being engaged?”

Oi, not that.

That hits way too hard for me… Well, it wasn’t me but that idiot Akira who did it… But not being able to say anything back is rough.

But… his smirking face is seriously irritating, so letting him get cocky by showing weakness would be infuriating too.

“As for that matter, I have my reasons. But I can only say that it’s one thing for me to do that, and another for you to do that.”

“Such a ridiculous—”

“Yeah, it’s just an excuse and a ridiculous one at that. But right now, Arisu is my fiancée, so I have an obligation to protect her.”

No matter how others perceive me, that fact remains unchanged, so my words aren’t wrong. 

I’ve already conveyed my thoughts to both our families, so it’s only a matter of time before we’re no longer engaged. But until then, I’ll protect her… At least I have to do that much as Akito’s successor.

“Arisu won’t accept your invitation, so please give up.”

“…You don’t know anything. I’m talking to Saijo-sama.”

“Ara, didn’t I just say I’m not interested?”

Arisu popped her head out from my shoulder and spoke.

Indeed, he doesn’t seem to have any intention of listening to me, but when Arisu says that, Toudou has no choice but to back down.

Toudou left the classroom looking frustrated, and the classmates who had been silently watching gradually resumed their conversations.

“Haa…”

I sighed and sat down. Arisu sat next to me, and with a slight smile, she gently moved her chair closer to mine.

“Isn’t it the first time you’ve protected me like that?”

“Well, I’m still… engaged to you, so I have to protect you, right?”

“Still…? So you haven’t given up on breaking it off yet?”

“Because I…”

At that moment, Arisu wore a sad expression. I swallowed my words, but she quickly started giggling again, and I realized she was just teasing me.

“Whatever choice you make, I will respect it.”

“Thanks.”

“Of course, it’s up to you to make the choice. No one but you can make that decision, no matter what the process is like.”

What is this person saying that’s so obvious…?

But then I remembered something. Now that Akito is gone and Arisu is no longer bound by her engagement, she will spend more time alone, and of course, she will be targeted.

There was no NTR in the manga, YanKano, and if something like that happened to her, there would be clear bloodshed. Still, there were incidents where Arisu’s body was almost exposed to danger.

(The manga was like that too, but the anime cut it off at that point as well… I can’t forget the frustration from back then.)

It wasn’t someone minor like Toudou, but rather a villain on the same level as the Saijo family who showed up later, and their son tried to attack Arisu… Luckily, the protagonist saved her, but if he had been even a step slower, who knows what might have happened.

“Hey, Arisu.”

“What?”

Well, I might as well give her a warning.

“Don’t forget that you’re a girl, even though you’re strong.”

“Huh? What’s with you all of a sudden?”

“No… Being a girl isn’t what’s important here, isn’t it? I just mean that you’re strong, but you still have to be careful.”

“…Oh, I see. Are you worried about me?”

“Of course I am. I’m worried about you, regardless of our engagement.”

“…I see.”

Otherwise, if something happens to her, I’ll feel bad, right?

If something happens to Arisu, it will come back to me, and I might even be sentenced to death.

(Oh, by the way, Arisu never received any presents from Akito, did she? It’s a bit… rude, isn’t it?)

I remembered something else, but since I caused her so much trouble, it might be a good idea to buy her a gift as an apology.

The afternoon classes ended without incident. As I left the classroom, I received a call on my phone, and the family servant informed me that he was already waiting at the school gate.

“Akito-san.”

“Hmm?”

“May I come over now?”

“Now?”

“Yes, I’m your fiancée. It shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

“Well… That’s true.”

So it seems that Arisu and I will be spending the afternoon together at my place again.

As we walked down the hallway together, I noticed a pair of eye-catching figures ahead of us.

(..Oh, that’s…!)

I immediately recognized the two of them from their distinctive blonde hair, swaying as they walked. Their figures were no less impressive than Arisu’s, and their faces were incredibly well-formed.

(Yeah… I guess the other heroines are here too.)

Those two are also heroines, just like Arisu. Filia Roland and Sophia Roland—as their surnames suggest, they are twins, and their faces are almost identical.

Indeed, if the two of them were standing side by side, no one would be able to tell them apart.

The two of them are also very popular heroines, and their rankings have fluctuated many times, but one of them has always been in the top five.

(…They really look alike.)

The two stopped and began to converse while gazing out at the scenery.

Readers might be fantasizing about being sandwiched between the two of them or having them do various things to them at the same time, but the Roland sisters are incredibly yandere, second only to Arisu, and they believe it is right to share important things with each other. Being sandwiched between yanderes might be even scarier than being with Arisu.

“Are you interested in those two?”

“I’m scared of them.”

“Scared?”

I told her not to mull over my words and left the academy with Arisu.

“Hey, Sophia.”

“What is it, Filia?”

“Is that the person who’s been rumored about?”

“Yeah. The one who’s said to have betrayed her fiancé.”

“…But they seem to get along well.”

“They do. Rumors aren’t always true.”
