How I, a Completely Ordinary Guy with No Special Traits, Risked My Life to Save Beautiful Twin Sisters, Only to Make Both of Them, Who Turned Out to Be Yandere, Fall Madly in Love with Me (REMAKE) - 95

Chapter 95: Anyway, We’re Going to Get Busy From Here, but Let’s Do Our Best, Okay?

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

Several days had passed since the end of the school trip, and today, we second-years had shifted into school festival mode. That was why our seventh period would be a homeroom session about the school festival.

Today and tomorrow, we were going to hold homerooms to discuss and decide on various matters regarding the school festival, and from the day after tomorrow, we would begin full-scale preparations. By the way, today’s homeroom topics were the selection of the class leader for the festival and the theme for the play.

Since becoming the class leader would greatly boost one’s internal evaluation score, several classmates who were likely aiming for recommendations had volunteered for the part, and among them was Reona. However, the voting results turned out exactly as expected.

“I figured it would end up like that.”

Reona won by a landslide, leaving the other candidates far behind. Some classmates even realized they had no chance of winning the moment Reona raised her hand and withdrew from the race. As expected, those who reigned at the top of the school caste were strong.

Needless to say, I didn’t even consider volunteering. I absolutely didn’t want to deal with something that troublesome, and even if I did have the motivation, I was confident I wouldn’t get a single vote.

“Next is deciding the theme for the play, huh. I’ll probably end up working backstage anyway, so honestly, it doesn’t matter what we pick.”

During the school trip, Reona and Riona had joked about having me play a main character in the play, but that had to be a joke. There was no way they’d actually let a gloomy guy like me take on a major role. Our classmates would definitely voice their protest. 

While I was thinking about that, the discussion led by Reona, now our class leader, began. After tossing out a few ideas, we started debating which one to go with. At the moment, we were in the middle of a discussion about whether to use an existing story like a fairy tale for the play or come up with an original theme. No matter which one got picked, the main roles would definitely go to the good-looking boys and girls of the class.

Man, I’m getting sleepy.

It was definitely because I stayed up late last night grinding through a dungeon run. I fought hard against my drowsiness for a while, but biological needs won out, and by the time I woke up, the homeroom session was just ending.

“So, the play ended up being Snow White after all, huh.”

Seeing the words “Snow White” written boldly on the blackboard, it seemed the class had decided to stick with the safe route of using an existing story instead of the more difficult original idea.

“Ah, Ryouya-kun. You finally woke up.”

“Yeah. I was already fast asleep by the time I realized it.”
 

“You sure have guts, falling asleep while I was working hard. I even went out of my way to volunteer as class leader for your sake, you know.”

“Huh? What do you mean by that?”

I responded to Reona’s unexpected words with confusion. I didn’t quite understand what she meant by saying she became the class leader for my sake.

“See, I figured if I became class leader, it would be easier to mess wi— I mean, support you in various ways.”

“Hey, you were about to say ‘mess with me,’ weren’t you?”

“Don’t sweat the small stuff.”

Despite how much she had already toyed with me during the three days of the school trip last week, it seemed she still hadn’t had enough. I could only see a future where I’d continue being used as Reona and Riona’s plaything until the school festival.

“Anyway, we’re going to get busy from here, but let’s do our best, okay?”

“What do you mean by that?”

“If you look over there, you’ll understand everything.”

Following Reona’s finger pointing to the left side of the blackboard, I saw the casting list for the play written out. I had been thinking how tough it must be for whoever had to play the main characters. After all, playing the main character was something beyond my reach. It was someone else’s problem, not mine. But the moment I saw who was cast as Snow White, I involuntarily shouted out.

“Huh!? Why the hell is Ryouya Yagami cast as Snow White!?”

“Just like it says.”

“No, no, explain it in a way even I can understand!”

I was completely confused, unable to keep up. I mean, why would a guy like me be playing Snow White? We were a liberal arts class, so there were more girls than boys. There was absolutely no reason to pick me.

“Well, I guess the main reason Ryouya-kun got the role of Snow White is because I strongly recommended you.”

“Even if you recommended me, that should’ve been too much to push through, right? The other people must’ve voiced their protest, right?”

“Sure, there was a lot of opposition at first, but once I posted a picture of you as Suzuka-chan in the class’s LIME group and showed everyone, the votes swung overwhelmingly in your favor.”

“What the hell did you do!?”

Having my classmates see that was just the worst.

Don’t tell me they made me cross-dress back then with this exact plan in mind…. No, no way… I must be digging too deeply about it. There’s now way they could’ve hatched such a complicated plan… Right?

Also, it hit me now — today was the first time I even realized there was a class group chat. It had been almost half a year since I became a second-year, and yet, apparently, I was still being left out by the rest of the class.

“By the way, to support you, I also took the role of the Prince. So, let’s do our best together, okay?”

“I’m seriously depressed right now…”

Even though it was only the first day of preparations for the school festival, I was already feeling overwhelmingly depressed. No doubt this year’s festival was going to be a wild ride.
