Even Though the Gender Ratio Has Changed, My Attempts at Flirting With Women Are Unsuccessful - Chapter 20: I’ve Been Reincarnated as a Villain, but the Cafeteria is Exciting (3)

Chapter 20: I’ve Been Reincarnated as a Villain, but the Cafeteria is Exciting (3)

“What… there aren’t any guys!?”

I finally noticed while eating the dessert I ordered additionally.

Looking to the right, to the left, from one end of my field of vision to the other… there wasn’t a single other guy in sight.

Right now, I was the only guy.

“…”

This wasn’t the time to casually enjoy the cafeteria, was it!?

“There’s no guys in the cafeteria? Isn’t that weird!?”

I asked Tiana and Sheffy, who were eating cake.

But the two of them remained calm…

“If anything, the weird one is you, Ark. *Munch munch*…”

“Normal guys don’t come to the cafeteria, you know. Mmm… this cake is delicious too.”

“I heard only chosen people can become chefs here. The hiring rate is supposedly higher than at high-class restaurants.”

“That explains why the taste is so convincing.”

Oh, I see. This cafeteria is the best… no, wait!

No, it’s definitely the best, but!!

“Why didn’t you tell me!?”

From the way Tiana and Sheffy spoke, they must have known there were no guys in the cafeteria.

But why weren’t there any guys?

There was no trouble finding a seat, the food was delicious, and you could eat your fill…

“I thought some things are better left unknown.”

“Don’t worry, Ark-sama. Even if you don’t know anything, we’ll take care of it.”

Better left unknown… what’s that supposed to mean!? Is something going on?

And from the way they’re talking, it sounds like something’s already happening that I don’t know about!?

“No, that’s not okay. I want to meet some guys!”

Even if it’s just within this academy, there aren’t many guys.

I want to meet them and get to know them!

“You guys… aren’t you standing out a bit too much?”

A voice suddenly spoke.

Turning around, I saw a tall woman with glossy black hair tied in a ponytail… wait.

This person was that heroine-senpai who seemed like she could make guys fall for her!

If a villain like me got involved with her, it felt like I’d get Seed○Pressed or something, with her disciplinary committee president vibe.

Wait, she approached us!?

While I was shocked, the senpai took a breath and spoke.

“It’s fine to have fun, but this is a shared space. Consider those around you a little.”

When she said that, I glanced around…

“Wah, he looked this way!”

“Our eyes met!”

“No, it was with me!”

“There’s hardly ever a guy in the cafeteria, so it’s so refreshing~”

“Press-senpai… talking so boldly to a guy, she’s amazing…”

A lot of attention was focused on us.

Was my voice really that loud…?

“Well, whatever. As your senpai, let me give you one piece of advice. Now that the entrance ceremony is over and you’re officially students of this academy, you’re no longer guests. This academy isn’t some luxurious paradise facility. It’s a place for those who aim for the top. Do your best to survive.”

Her tone seemed strict, but somehow it felt like she was cheering us on.

Hmm… was this Press-senpai just a caring person?

Not one of the heroines?

But she had this vibe like she could totally overpower you…

Then, the senpai turned her gaze toward Tiana.

“Tiana Keith. Any plans to join us soon?”

“Nope. I’m not interested in the disciplinary committee.”

Tiana shifted her gaze back to her cake and resumed eating.

She really didn’t seem interested.

Well, she was helping me with my magic enhancement training after school.

“Fine. There’s still time. What about you, Sheffy Aim? Any interest in joining our disciplinary committee?”

“…You know my name.”

“As part of my role, I gather information on students quickly. I hear you use some interesting healing magic. Naturally, I’m interested.”

“Thank you. But for now, I have no plans to join any academy organizations.”

“Hmm, I see.”

Sheffy didn’t seem interested either.

Well, she was acting as my personal maid after school, so…

Wait… was I totally getting in their way?

“…”

The senpai stared at me.

Was it my turn next?

But… she quickly looked away.

Huh? Nothing for me?

Well, I guess it was good not to be targeted.

I mean, I’m a villain, and getting involved with her seemed like it could lead to something crazy…

“Ahem. That’s enough for today. Try not to do anything too conspicuous.”

With that, the senpai turned and left.

I lowered my voice a bit but let out my honest thoughts.

“Tiana and Sheffy, you guys are amazing. Getting scouted by a famous senpai!”

She wasn’t just talking to anyone.

She must have recognized their abilities.

But the two of them looked somewhat uneasy…

“…Ark. Have you ever met Press-senpai somewhere before?”

“Huh? No, not that I know of…”

I had no memory of it.

But I only realized I was reincarnated when I was 10.

If I had met her, it might’ve been the original Ark.

“Why do you think that, Tiana?”

“Because her reaction was different.”

“Oh, yeah, you’re right. I was the only one who didn’t get scouted.”

She probably wasn’t interested in guys. Maybe she even disliked them.

Very disciplinary committee president-like.

“No, that’s not it. Her reaction was different compared to when she’s with other guys.”

“Really?”

I see. Since Tiana had been at this academy since elementary, she might know a lot about the senpai.

Hmm… so was she nicer to other guys?

“And from the reactions around us, it sounds like she’s from one of the four noble families… I see. We need to be cautious.”

“As expected of Sheffy. You get sharp when it comes to Ark.”

Sheffy had a look like she’d figured something out.
