Believing She Has Been Reincarnated into a Baseball Game, My Little Sister Is Aiming for the Koshien, While I Give It My All to Keep Her from Finding out That It’s Actually an Ntr Game - Chapter 45

“No way… Seriously? What was the point of all my years of inner turmoil…”

Like me, Maika, sitting beside me, holds her head and groans in disbelief. By the way, the sofa in the principal’s office is quite plush. I could totally imagine making that student council president squeal while hitting it from behind right here, but that’s definitely not happening.

“Yeah… Wait, Kyugo-kun, Maika-chan. So you guys thought you were blood-related siblings, yet you were getting all lovey-dovey in your previous lives…? Ugh, my son and daughter-in-law were really messed up…”

My former biological father, sitting across the low table, is looking at us with complete disgust. Clearly mocking us. Typical ZIP behavior. Though from Maika’s perspective, he used to be her stepfather.

To sum up what my dad said:

He remarried a woman he met through work when I was two years old. That woman was Hyakunogi Riko, who I had mistaken as both my stepmother and biological mother, and her daughters were Maika and Riko—two sisters.

So there was even a connection between our surnames from our past lives, huh? By the way, “Yamada” was apparently my biological mother’s maiden name. Now, she’s remarried to her affair partner and living in the Netherlands. My dad got cucked by a Dutch guy. Yikes…

“So, Riko deliberately hid this major fact from us, huh?”

Maika continues with a tired expression.

“She must have made Mom promise not to tell us either, I bet. All just to stop me and Kyugo from becoming, you know, like that…”

Though Maika, my dear wife, sighed like that, I don’t think it’s that simple.

Sure, that might be part of the reason, but there must have been more complex feelings behind it, something not so easily explained.

After all, Riko ultimately accepted our marriage in this world.

And it wasn’t even because “we’re not siblings in this world, so she couldn’t oppose it,” as one might think. Riko had known all along that Maika and I were never blood-related to begin with.

So, the real mystery is—what changed in Riko’s heart between her past life and her current life? Why did she suddenly come to accept our relationship after we reincarnated, even though the conditions were the same before and after?

But honestly, even if I were to ask Riko directly, there’s no way she’d give me a straight answer. I can’t even bring myself to ask because… I don’t want her to hate me…

“Wait, Riko-chan tried to deliberately hide the fact that you two aren’t blood-related? Then I shouldn’t have spilled the beans! You guys better not tell her that I blabbed! I don’t want her to hate me…”

Damn it, we think alike. Like father, like son.

On the other hand, now that we know Riko wasn’t actually my biological sister, her lack of shock when we found out makes more sense.

Just as I thought yesterday, it’s because Riko understands my feelings—that, even without a blood bond, she’s still the most important sister in the universe to me.

If she had suddenly found out she wasn’t my real sister after reincarnating, it would’ve been tough to accept. But knowing all along that we weren’t actually related probably made it easier for her to come to terms with.

After all, she’s witnessed my affection for her firsthand in our previous life, so it wouldn’t have been hard for her to believe my feelings.

“Look, Maika. Riko clearly stated last month that the feelings she has for me are not romantic. Did that seem like a lie to you?”

Maika pouted at my remark and responded,

“Well, that’s true, but… just because she said she doesn’t want to be romantically involved with you doesn’t mean she’s totally okay with me being in a relationship with you. She hasn’t completely accepted it yet.”

“You’ve got a point…”

“Exactly. And what’s up with her trying to break up ‘Maika’ and ‘Kyugo’ in that game? That totally shows where her heart’s at. She was satisfied with that? That’s pretty twisted, even for a sister… sorry, but it freaks me out.”

“Hey, that’s too much. Stop saying stuff like that.”

“But, seriously…”

Maika looks genuinely uncomfortable.

Well, it’s probably true that Riko’s motive for doing that was simple—taking out her frustration on Maika, who was mutually in love with her “big brother”… but it still doesn’t completely make sense.

Where did she even get the idea to do something like that?

Was it from PowerPro-kun? Now that I think about it, Riko was always creating characters named Kyugo and Riko in PowerPro-kun.

So, it feels weird.

Even when I suggested it, Riko absolutely refused to create a character named Maika.

She only cared about making characters named “Kyugo” and “Riko” get along. So how did she come up with the idea of bullying a character named “Maika”?

And like Maika said, it’s all for self-satisfaction. There was no guarantee that either of us would even play that game.

Did she just get a kick out of thinking about it, even though no one was watching? Wait, hold on.

Did I… did I actually buy that game?

“Wait a second… I never remember buying Powerful Koshien! But it’s in my purchase history…!”

Come to think of it, something doesn’t add up…

Riko said, “I passed out while browsing your game purchase history in the hospital, and when I woke up, I was lying in this house.” She must have seen Powerful Koshien in my purchase history during her previous life.

But that means I never bought the game myself. I only got into eroge after Riko’s death, when I became a shut-in. There’s no way I bought it when she was still alive. I wouldn’t have had any interest, let alone accidentally bought it.

Which means… no way… could it be…

“Did someone else buy that game on my account…?!”

“Oh, that was me! I thought I’d give my son one of my works as a birthday present for his 18th birthday. Did you enjoy it?”

“IT WAS YOU?!”

“Ouch!”

I kicked him in the shin under the low table. I envy Yogi’s father for being so normal. What a great dad. Yogi, work hard in baseball and make him proud.

“Damn it, maybe this entire reincarnation ordeal, from start to finish, was all because of you. Thanks a lot. Yeah, thanks.”

In the end, it turns out that living with Riko again, getting engaged to Maika, and taking the two of them to Koshien, it’s all thanks to my dad.

For a moment, I thought everything had been Riko’s scheme, and she had known about this world from the very beginning—but that’s not it at all!

Of course not. Riko’s not some evil little sister who would buy eroge on her brother’s account. She’s a pure, innocent angel who would never think of such a thing.

Yep, Riko’s definitely still my angel. Chuu chuu.

Yeah, whatever. What matters is protecting Riko. That’s the top priority.

“Well, whatever. You’re not planning on messing with Riko, right?”

“Of course not! How could you even doubt me?”

“Because you’re the kind of dad who names eroge characters after his own children. And you’re not even my dad anymore.”

“That’s cruel…”

“Anyway, stay away from Riko and the student council members. Like I said earlier, we can’t let Riko find out that this world is an NTR game.”

“I feel the same way! I’m the one who most wants to avoid that. After all, I’m the dad who named his daughter-in-law and himself after eroge characters.”

Alright, fair enough. I don’t need to threaten him about that.

“So at least the whole NTR game reveal should be avoidable without us having to do anything… wait.”

A certain ponytailed girl’s Oho face flashes in my mind.

That’s right, the student council president is already hooked on rubber. What even is “rubber hooked”?

If the game’s storyline continues, and the protagonist falls for the student council president, things might get messy.

A dignified, ponytailed student council president secretly hooked on condoms behind the scenes, while being seduced by a delinquent like me… if that’s not NTR, what is? Anyone would see that as an NTR bad ending. There’s no way the NTR protagonist wouldn’t end up utterly broken, mentally devastated, and aroused by despair. What is “rubber hooked” anyway?

If an NTR scenario like that happens within the student council, Riko might start to suspect something’s wrong.

That ponytailed pervert was saying stuff like, “I don’t suck condoms in public,” and “No one can know that a high-class student council president like me is addicted to condoms!” But I can’t trust a word out of an addict’s mouth.

She might even spread her condom addiction to other student council members like Olivia-san and Shion-san, just to fund her habit. If the student council becomes infested with condoms, Riko would definitely sense something’s off.

Worst-case scenario, even Riko might get dragged into the condom madness… what does “sucking a condom” even mean …what does “sucking a condom” even mean? Is that even a thing? Why would anyone get addicted to condoms in the first place?

Whatever it is, this entire situation is a ticking time bomb.

I have to make sure this NTR scenario never gets any closer to Riko. I can’t let her be exposed to that world.

The safest, most reliable way to stop it is…

“Yep, I’ve decided. Riko needs to quit the student council.”

It’s the fastest, most straightforward solution.

Honestly, while Riko claims she’s in the student council to support me, it’s becoming a distraction. Sure, I’m happy she’s there, but with all the extra worry it causes, it’s making it harder for me to focus on baseball. Luckily, Maika’s been helping with my mental care, but still…

“But, Kyugo, we’re talking about Riko here, right? She’s the same girl who secretly joined the student council without telling either of us. If we force her to quit, what’s stopping her from sneaking back in?”

“True…”

Maika, ever the brilliant mental health counselor, knows exactly how her sister thinks. I love her for that.

“Yeah, you’re right. So, the best thing to do is deal with the root cause… We’ll have to stop the protagonist from joining the student council.”

Of course, the root cause of all this mess is that ponytailed pervert’s condom addiction. But I can’t do much about that. Addictions aren’t called addictions for nothing—they aren’t easy to overcome. What even is condom addiction?

“Also, I don’t want that protagonist looking at Riko in any sexual way at all. I’d never let an eroge male character get anywhere near Riko when I’m not around.”

“You’re still a gross siscon, my darling.”

“Anyway, who is this protagonist? You know who it is, don’t you? Since you’re the great scenario writer, you must know.”

“Oh, Kyugo, my boy! You flatter me, calling me ‘great’! It makes me blush!”

What the hell is wrong with this guy?

“Just spit it out already. Which first-year is it? Tell me his name, and I’ll take care of the rest.”

“Well, let me think… oh, you know, you might already be familiar with him. Since you’re doing so well in baseball, Kyugo-kun, you might recognize the protagonist from the last game. I like to connect characters between games to give players a little thrill, a clever technique of mine. Impressive, right?”

“Shut up and just tell me already.”

There’s no “technique” to it. Even middle schoolers writing web novels do that. Maika’s done it too, though her stories always end with her and me happily together, so that’s a plus.

“Geez, you’re so impatient, Kyugo-kun. Wonder where you get that from… Alright, the protagonist of My Transformation! is Yogi Souta, from first-year class 3. A typical NTR protagonist: skinny, with long bangs covering his face. He has a tragic backstory—his parents were separated due to marital discord, and he lost his father in an accident. However, through his time in the student council, he begins to heal. But lurking in the shadows is me—ah, I mean, the twisted, perverted principal’s evil hand! Mwahaha!”

“Just die. Okay, got it. First-year, class 3, Yogi Souta. Sure. Uh-huh.”

Fine, whatever. But I’ll still yell about it. A little shout-out to the so-called “advanced technique” that gave me such a minor surprise. Also, a tribute to Yogi’s poor, murdered dad up in heaven, killed by my father’s whims.

“No, not Yogi’s brother!!”
