I Reincarnated as The NTR Villain in a Gal Game After His Evil Deeds Were Exposed, But For Some Reason, The Heroines Keep Approaching Me~ - Chapter 105 - A Makeover [Umakura Kageno’s POV]

Chapter 105 – A Makeover [Umakura Kageno’s POV]

I bought a bit of time before falling.

The rest is up to everyone.

Akemi was the one who told me that Umakura Kageno-san was being bullied.

Toranomon Akemi told me and Yukine what she saw and encountered, and that she wanted us to be concerned.

When I heard that, I looked into who did what to verify it. Since I couldn’t do it alone, I asked Yukine to help me.

Yukine’s network worked wonderfully and gathered a lot of information for us to move forward.

Tatemiya Yuushi informed me that Umakura Kageno-san went up to the rooftop.

It seemed he was concerned as if he had seen her somewhere before.

To not make her wary, I headed to the rooftop alone.

Assuming the worst case scenario, I asked Yukine and Akemi to be prepared.

“I’m sorry.”

I hugged her as she jumped down.

I held her tightly and adjusted the falling point as much as possible.

“Don’t give up! I won’t let you die. And I won’t die either.”

During the fall, I wrapped her tightly in my chest and hid her in my arms, tightly so as not to let go.

The ground was getting closer and closer and a soft sensation caught us.

“Huh?”

Umakura Kageno-san let out a surprised voice as the feeling was different from what she had imagined.

“I was really troubled when you called so suddenly.”

Sweaty club boys say this as they grab the pole vault mat used by the track and field club and shout loudly.

“Rock, you saved me.”

“Don’t mention it! If you want to help someone, I’ll lend you any amount of help. I owe Mitsurugi too.”

I’m guessing he’s referring to the fact when I helped him when he was hit ganged up on without any resistance.

“Everyone else too! Thanks.”

I got off the mat and thanked the people who helped me.

“What are you saying! You’re the one who’s truly amazing for jumping off the rooftop without hesitation to save a female student. You’re a real man.”

I was slapped on the back.

The other boys also show embarrassed faces for having helped.

“W-why did you save me?”

“I told you, I’ll definitely help you because I need you. But, no matter how much we help, we can’t solve everything about bullying. Umakura Kageno-san, you need to change yourself to resolve it.”

I held out my hand.

[Umakura Kageno’s POV]

I didn’t understand what was happening.

Taketo-sama jumped down with me and hugged me desperately…

Even so, it’s the end of the line for us both.

Even though I had thought so, he saved me, moved many people, and offered me his hand even though I tried to kill him.

“Why! Why are you being so kind to me?! How can I? I’m… I’m gloomy, plain, and can’t resist bullying. All I can do is get carried away by the flow and wait for time to pass. No one can help me…”

No good. My tears keep flowing.

“I’m sorry. I couldn’t notice your circumstances. But let’s change from now on. I’ve prepared for that.”

He forcibly grabbed my hand and made me stand up.

Ahead of me were my beautiful classmates walking on a path of light.

“This will definitely be worthwhile.”

“That’s true. Women need to show that they can shine if they polish themselves.”

“I’ve been bullied too, so let’s talk about it.”

“I-it’s gonna be okay!”

“Let’s make you beautiful. I’ll help!”

The five girls who are always with Taketo-sama are good-looking, have good grades, and are wonderful girls who follow their own will in club activities, school festivals, and other activities.

“U-um…”

“Umakura Kageno-san”

“Eh?”

I looked up when Taketo-sama called my name.

“No one can change their personality right away. But anyone can change their appearance. And, first, be friends with me.”

“Friends?”

“Yeah, you’re alone too often. If you’re alone, you’re more likely to be targeted. I’ll let everyone here know. Umakura Kageno is now someone important to me. If something happens, ask for my help.”

With those words, the people gathered focused on me.

“Come on, just say ‘Yes’.”

“Yes! I’ll be in your care!”

The voice came out so loud that even I was surprised.

A lot of people laughed when they saw this, and I was led by Taketo-sama’s girlfriends to the beauty salon.

It seems it’s a salon that Hitsujigaoka Momo-san often talks about. They trimmed my heavy, black hair and made my eyes stand out.

I didn’t have the courage to cut my hair myself, but everyone around me worked hard to make me fashionable while chatting happily.

Then, I went to a full-body esthetic for the first time and got myself cleaned up from head to toe, and for the first time in my life, I put on makeup.

I didn’t understand anything and two hours passed, and I changed into the clothes prepared for me.

In the mirror, I looked so dressed up that I didn’t seem like myself at all. It felt like I was the same as the other girls around me.

I also ate sweets with them.

“Ah, for the money…”

“It’s okay! Today, everything is on Taketo-sama. It’s to cheer up Kageno-san!”

Saying that, I was led by Inukai Nazuna-san, and I walked into the light for the first time.

It was all so much fun, and everything was prepared by Taketo-sama. But why is he doing so much for me?

As night fell, I felt lonely as everyone left…

I’ll be alone in the school dormitory.

“Please wait here for a moment.”

After saying that, I was made to wait alone in front of the dormitory.

Could it be that it’s all a lie and something even worse will happen? It’s scary to be alone.

I feel like I’m being watched from the dormitory window.

“Sorry to keep you waiting.”

“Huh?”

“Yeah, you look really beautiful.”

Taketo-sama came and complimented me.

However, no matter how dressed up I am, I’m different from the girls walking on the path of light.

I can’t help but feel like I’m a fake.

“Confidence isn’t something that comes quickly. You can become this beautiful. Look up at me.”

His words were so gentle, saying to lift my head. I did, because that’s what Taketo-sama wanted.

“Will you be my girlfriend?”

When I looked up, Taketo-sama said something outrageous.

“…Nothing inside me has changed.”

“Yeah.”

“I can’t bring myself to reject you, after you saved my life, treated me so well, and even asked me out. But I’m scared.”

“In that case, I will become the student council president and change the school. There will be no more bullying. I will make friends with everyone who suffers from bullying other than Kageno-san, and make school life more fun.”

Since the first time we met, I’ve been drawn to him.

He saved my life, gave me beautiful clothes and happy memories. He even confessed to me…

“Thank you very much. If someone like me is okay, I’d be delighted!”

When I reached out to him, he hugged me tightly.

He lifted my bangs and kissed me on the forehead.

I was so embarrassed and happy at the same time that I didn’t even care about the stares from the dormitory.
