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) - 98-99

Chapter 98: I Can’t Hold Back Anymore, Please?

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

For a while, Reona and I searched for a way to get out, but unfortunately, we couldn’t find one. They really should’ve designed it so the door could be opened from the inside, in case something like this happened.

“Neither of us brought our phones, and it’s kind of a problem that we can’t contact anyone outside. Since everyone just leaves when practice ends, doesn’t that mean there is a chance no one will notice we’re missing?”

“If we don’t show up at the shoe lockers for a while, Riona will definitely realize something’s wrong, so I don’t think we need to worry. Though, it might take her a bit of time to figure out we’re trapped in the gym storage.”

“So basically, if we just wait, Riona will come rescue us.”

If I were the one searching, I might not think to check the gym storage room. Good thing Riona was smart and had sharp senses. Convinced that Riona would come help us, I sat down on one of the mats lying on the floor of the storage room. I was tired from practice and wanted to settle down a bit.

“These mats are softer than I expected.”

“You’re right, they’re softer than I thought. I’ve barely ever had a class that used mats, so I had no idea.”

“Yeah, I think the only time I used one was during a pole vault class in middle school.”

As we talked, I lay back on the mat. It was surprisingly comfortable—if I had a pillow, I felt like I could actually sleep here. Then Reona looked at me with a mischievous grin and spoke.

“Don’t tell me you’re planning to stay here overnight, Ryouya-kun?”

“Of course not. I just lay down because I’m tired.”

“If you are staying here overnight, I’ll keep you company.”

“No, no, that would be a huge problem.”

Even staying in the gym storage room overnight was an issue, but having a teenage boy and girl alone in here together was even worse. Someone was bound to get the wrong idea.

“I’m sure you already know, but just because we’re alone doesn’t mean you can try anything pervy with me, okay?”

“There’s no way this is going to turn into some ero-manga scenario.”

In erotic manga, it was common for a boy and girl locked in a gym storage room to naturally end up doing that kind of thing, but of course, that kind of thing wouldn’t happen in real life.

Let’s be real, the only high schoolers with experience are the chosen few who are already living the dream. Reona and Riona seem to be exceptions, but apparently, there are already some classmates of mine who’ve had their first time. I, on the other hand, will probably die a virgin. Lucky them.

“That kind of answer is really damaging to a girl’s pride, you know.”

“Then what was I supposed to say?”

“Hmm… Something like, ‘I can’t hold back anymore, please’? Maybe?”

“That’s literally the worst possible answer!”

If I’d actually said something like that, even Reona would’ve been seriously creeped out. Actually, what would she have done if I had said it. Not that I planned to ask. That was straight-up harassment. While I was thinking about that, Reona suddenly started to take off the top of her gym uniform, and I panicked.

“Hey, what are you doing!?”

“It’s hot, so I was just going to take off my gym shirt.”

“You can’t do that!”

Sure, it was pretty hot inside the gym storage room, so I understood the impulse. Still, it was one thing if I took something off, but Reona doing it was way worse.

“What? Why not?”

“I mean, you’re in front of me…”

“But Ryouya-kun, you’ve already seen me completely naked. Seeing me in my underwear after the things we’ve been through is no big deal, right?”

“What if someone shows up right now? They’d definitely get the wrong idea!”

If that happened, the rumors would explode, and I definitely couldn’t see any future where things didn’t go completely out of control. I’d probably be hunted down by Reona’s fans.

“If that happens, I’ll defend you. I’ll say, ‘Ryouya-kun was better than I expected.’”

“That’s not helping at all!”

That kind of comment wasn’t defending me—it was delivering the final blow. In the end, I couldn’t stop her, and Reona went ahead and took off her gym shirt. Just then, we heard a sound from outside, like someone turning the lock on the gym storage room door.

“Crap! Hurry up and put your shirt back on!”

“Huh? Where did I put it again?”

“It’s by your feet—hurry!”

Unable to stay calm, I reached for the gym shirt at Reona’s feet, but I moved too fast and lost my balance. We both tumbled backward onto the mat together. At that exact moment, the gym storage room door opened, and light poured in from outside.

“…Am I interrupting something?”

Riona stood there, looking at us as she said that. There was no doubt she had completely misunderstood what she was seeing—and in the worst possible way.

Chapter 99: Nope, It’s Already Decided That Ryouya Will Come With Us

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“…Like I said, I didn’t do anything to Reona, alright?”

“Hmm, so Ryouya didn’t do anything, huh?”

“You missed a rare chance to make a move on me. What a waste.”

On the way back after escaping from the gym equipment shed, I was being hit with cold, merciless stares from Reona and Riona. No matter how I looked at it, I had definitely made the right choice, so wasn’t this treatment just a little too unfair? We had known each other for quite a while now, but even so, I still had absolutely no idea what the best move was in situations like this.

“Oh, and Ryouya-kun, I’ve decided you’re coming with us to the after-party, so be ready, okay?”

“Eh, the after-party? Isn’t that one of those events for normies? I don’t think I can keep up with the vibe there.”

“Nope. It’s already decided that Ryouya will come with us.”

Recently, it seemed a lot of schools didn’t even bother having after-parties anymore, but for some reason, ours still did. Needless to say, most of the participants were what you’d call the ‘popular crowd,’ and nobodies like me generally didn’t attend that kind of after-parties. But once Reona and Riona got like this, there was no stopping them, so it looked like I had no choice but to give up on resisting. 

“Come to think of it, what exactly do they do at the after-party? Last year I just went home early and did dungeon runs, so I have no idea what people do at the after-party.”

“There’s a first and second part. Last year’s first part was stuff like bands and a karaoke competition on the gym stage.”

“The second part is a dance around a campfire out on the field.”

“…Sounds like the epitome of youth.”

The second part — a dance around a campfire — no matter how I thought about it, it only seemed like an event for couples to flirt with each other. And in this day and age, it was surprising they could even pull off a campfire event.

Sure, campfires during school festivals were a staple in anime and manga, but I had heard that in real life, because of safety regulations and the like, they were basically endangered species.

Well, the student council and the school administration probably negotiated and adjusted things really well to make it happen.

“By the way, there’s also a confession event during the first part.”

“I’m guessing people do public confessions or something, but I can’t believe anyone would willingly put themselves through that stomach-turning ordeal. If you mustered the courage to confess only to get brutally rejected, that would be the absolute worst.”

“But apparently, a lot of couples are born out of it every year, so it’s actually one of the most popular events.”

It sounded like something Reona and Riona would be all over, but for a cynical loner like me, watching couples form right in front of me was anything but fun. While thinking about that, we continued walking home.

“Speaking of which, we have rehearsal for the play tomorrow, right? Are you good to go, Reona?”

“Yup, I’ve pretty much memorized all my lines and movements, so I think I’m good.”

“As expected. I’m still struggling to memorize my lines, so I’m desperately cramming right now.”

“I’m looking forward to your Snow White, Ryouya.”

There had been an idea tossed around where a girl would voice the lines from backstage while I only acted out the movements, but after a lot of debate, it was ultimately decided that I would perform using my own voice. Reona’s opinion that the gap between my appearance and my voice would leave a stronger impact ended up winning the crowd out.

Since I was the lead and had a ridiculous number of lines, just memorizing them was already tough, and thinking about the acting coaching on top of that, it felt like it would take quite a bit of time before it all came together.

“Oh, but there’s just one part I’m still kind of worried about.”

“Which part?”

“The scene where Snow White is awakened with a kiss. It just doesn’t sit right with me, so I was wondering if I could come over to your room and practice kissing with you?”

“Yeah, no, absolutely not!”

I couldn’t help but shout back when she suddenly said something so outrageous.

I mean, it’s just supposed to look like a kiss! There’s no need to practice the real thing!

“Eh, but you kissed me before, didn’t you?”

“That was an accident, okay?”

That incident was purely an accident caused by the ferris wheel shaking — it had nothing to do with my intentions. At that point, Riona, who had been silent up until now, spoke up.

“Then, should I be your practice partner instead?”

“That’s not okay either!”

Please don’t tease a virgin like me too much.

If, by some miracle, I took it seriously and actually tried to kiss her, what would she even do then?
