Even Though the Gender Ratio Has Changed, My Attempts at Flirting With Women Are Unsuccessful - Chapter 19: I’ve Been Reincarnated as a Villain, but the Cafeteria Sounds Exciting (2)

Chapter 19: I’ve Been Reincarnated as a Villain, but the Cafeteria Sounds Exciting (2)

“I’ll go with the daily special, as usual.”

“I’ll have the daily special too.”

Tiana and Sheffy answered instantly.

What, so fast? With all these menu options… Wait, the daily special comes with free refills on bread, soup, and salad!? That’s awesome!

But today, I wanted something different!

“I want meat! I’ll get a hamburger!”

So, all three of us placed our orders.

The staff brought the food to us.

They even cleaned up afterward.

Maybe because there were so many noble students?

“Now, we need to find a seat…”

As I looked around, a woman in a suit appeared.

“Three people, right? I’ll guide you to your seats.”

They even guided us to seats.

Cafeterias usually make finding a seat a hassle… but this way, we’d definitely get one, and it kept things moving.

As expected from a prestigious academy. Even the cafeteria system was well thought out…

“A private room, dimly lit, with no sound leaking out, please.”

“Tiana, that’s not a cafeteria anymore…”

That sounded like a totally naughty place.

Well, girls probably didn’t think like that.

“I don’t mind being seen. In fact, let’s show off. It’s better that way.”

“Sheffy…”

Why did their normal words sound so suspicious?

I looked at the staff woman, and she was frozen in shock.

“Look, you’re surprising her. Sorry for saying weird stuff…”

“N-No… If anything, I was surprised by you, sir…”

“Huh, me…?”

Did I do something?

As I looked at her, her cheeks turned slightly red.

“Come on, let’s go.”

“Please guide us to our seats.”

“Y-Yes!”

Right, it was crowded, so we needed to hurry.

The staff woman led us to a sofa seat.

“I’m sitting next to Ark.”

“I’m sitting next to Ark-sama.”

“Okay, okay, you two. Let’s not trouble her. Decide with rock-paper-scissors.”

The staff woman’s eyes widened, so we settled it quickly.

Sheffy won rock-paper-scissors.

Soon, the food arrived.

It was steaming hot and looked delicious.

We said our pre-meal greetings and started eating.

“Mmm! Delicious!”

The demi-glace sauce was tasty, the hamburger was fluffy inside with juicy meat, and the flavor filled my mouth.

This was why hamburgers were irresistible.

All the food here had to be delicious!

“Ark’s hamburger looks tasty.”

I noticed Tiana, sitting across from me, staring at my plate.

“It’s good! Want some, Tiana?”

“Yeah.”

Tiana nodded.

I cut a bite-sized piece of hamburger, put it on my fork, and held it toward her.

“Here.”

*Chomp*

Tiana ate it.

She chewed, and her usually cool expression softened a bit.

“Mmm, delicious.”

“Right? It’s good!”

Sharing tasty food with someone made it even better.

Tiana had grown a lot.

She used to be quiet and nervous, but now she could say what she thought.

She showed her emotions more openly.

Tiana was changing for the better.

My doom flags were probably fading too!

“Ark-sama.”

“Hm?”

“Mine’s delicious too.”

Sheffy held out a bite-sized piece of fried fish.

“Can I try it?”

“Yes. Please eat it.”

“Then I’ll have some!”

“Here, say ‘ahh.’”

I took a big bite.

The coating was crispy, the inside was tender and juicy, and it had no fishy taste. It was perfect.

“Delicious!”

“Hehe.”

I couldn’t help but smile, and Sheffy quickly wiped my mouth with a napkin.

Some of the coating must’ve stuck there.

“Thanks, Sheffy.”

“You’re welcome. I think Ark-sama should be taken care of even more.”

“I’m already getting plenty of help.”

At the academy, she was my attendant.

At the mansion, she was my personal maid.

How much more could Sheffy possibly do for me?

She’s grown into such a great person; she’d be fine anywhere!

I wanted Sheffy to be happy.

“I can take care of you at night too.”

“At night… Lately, I get sleepy so fast.”

After working out and taking a bath, I fell asleep right away.

It was a healthy lifestyle, but my goal was the unhealthy pursuit of flirting.

“…Then I’ll make sure you don’t fall asleep.”

“Uh, okay?”

Did Sheffy want to stay up late?

What would we do? I could play games with her.

“Why is there a guy in the cafeteria!?”

“Guys usually use the boys-only room or go home…”

“Even if the girl next to him is his attendant, isn’t the other one that genius noblewoman?”

“Wait, wait…! Didn’t they just feed each other!?”

“Is some kind of filming happening over there…?”

The cafeteria started getting noisy.

It was a cafeteria, so that was normal, but I felt a lot of stares…

“Ugh…”

Tiana suddenly made a bitter face.

“Hm? Tiana, what’s wrong? Something stuck in your throat? Are you okay?”

“No… It’s not that.”

Tiana shook her head and stared into the distance.

“…It’s Press-senpai.”

“Press-senpai…?”

I tilted my head and followed Tiana’s gaze. A group came in.

One person stood out…

“Look, it’s the disciplinary committee president…”

“She’s so dignified and beautiful today…”

“As expected from someone from one of the four great noble families…”

The crowd let out sighs of awe.

She must be a famous person at the academy.

She had a high ponytail and was probably about 170 cm tall.

She had a slim waist but a large chest that bounced with every step.

Her arm had a band that said “Disciplinary Committee.”

With that beauty and dignified air, no wonder she was popular.

But with all that bouncing, she seemed like the one most likely to disrupt discipline.

“This academy has a disciplinary committee? I thought it was just the student council.”

“Yeah, there’s a student council and a disciplinary committee. This academy tends to have conflicts, so a neutral group is needed. Above all…”

Tiana paused and glanced at me.

“Hm? What’s up?”

“…Nothing. Anyway, there are a lot of disputes and trouble, so the disciplinary committee exists.”

“I see.”

In this other world, with swords and magic, a single fight could turn into a huge mess.

It’d be tough without a disciplinary committee.

“!”

“Hm?”

I felt like I made eye contact with the disciplinary committee president.

“President! There’s a guy over there…!”

“And he’s that rumored guy from the Nott family…”

“Even if the attendant girl is with him, the other one is Lady Tiana!”

The girls near her were buzzing.

“…Let’s go, you guys.”

“I-Is that okay?”

They went somewhere else.

This was a place to eat. No problems should happen, right?

Still, a villain and a disciplinary committee president.

Press… That combination reminded me—

“!”

In my mind, it wasn’t the original story of this world…

But a rule from the romantic comedy manga I read in my past life.

*“Heh heh… Hurry up and fall for him, you heroine!”*

And a mysterious mob uncle’s voice played in my head.

That disciplinary committee president…

She was totally the heroine who’d fall for the guy!

I’d better stay away from her!!
