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 36 - Tragic Heroine

Chapter 36 – Tragic Heroine

[Takatori Neon’s POV]

I was surprised. I heard a sound that made me wonder if I had gone mad.

I took a day off from the brass band club today and headed to the music room in the old school building to practice on my own after a long time.

However, the sound that came from there was a sound that gave me the same warmth as that person.

When I quietly entered the music room, I saw a male student desperately trying to create new music through trial and error.

Moreover, he was producing the same sound as that person.

It made me remember.

The person whose life slipped away from my hands, someone I admired, someone I wanted to catch up with but never could.

I loved that person.

I wanted to be enveloped by that person’s voice, music, heart, and body.

But that person is no longer here.

Struggling with illness, older than me with much more experience, the one who taught me about life is… no longer here.

“Is that an original composition?”

“Huh?”

I ended up calling out to him.

“Sorry about that. I waited until you finished playing before calling out. It was a song I hadn’t heard before.”

“Ah, that’s right. It’s still unfinished though.”

“I see.”

A face I didn’t recognize.

After listening to his story, this Mitsurugi Taketo is probably the person that Shion is in love with.

He is the heir of the Ryuoin family, and is a prominent figure that is constantly talked about.

However, what comes through from his piano is his sincerity, kindness, and passion hidden deep within. It is something similar to what I lost once.

That’s why I ended up giving unnecessary advice and sounded like an older person, even though I’m not his homeroom teacher nor do I teach him any subject.

There’s a part of me that wants to be viewed favorably by him, the one who can produce such beautiful music.

“I had fun too. If you’d like to join the brass band, I’ll be happy to teach you anytime.”

“I’m sorry. I have no intention of joining any club activities.”

“…I see. That’s a shame. Well, if you ever change your mind, just let me know. And if you ever decide to upload videos, don’t show your face. I’ll come and listen, too.”

“I won’t do that.”

I was rejected.

It’s a shame because if he had at least uploaded a video, I could have listened to it forever.

After that, I heard his troubles, talked about Shion, and it seems like he was able to open up to me.

“That’s great then. Fufufu, I ended up leading another young man.”

“Yes. Takatori-sensei is a really nice woman! I might end up falling for her!”

“Whaa!!”

Being praised by a talented person who can produce the same sound as that person, I couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement that I haven’t felt in a long time.

“D-don’t make fun of adults! Besides, I don’t fall in love!”

“Hmm, that’s a shame. Sensei’s words really touched my heart. So there’s no doubt that she’s a good woman that I can fall in love with!”

“Y-you! So this is how you took advantage of Shion too! I know what you’re up to.”

This person is a natural tease.

I-it’s not like I’m happy being praised or anything.

“Takatori-sensei. Thank you. Can we talk again sometime?”

“W-well, if it’s just talking, I’ll listen.”

I-it’s not like I want to hear him play the piano again. Really not!

Following him as he left, I quietly said, “Thank you.”

It’s bittersweet and sad, but for me, it’s an unforgettable and good memory.

I want to express my gratitude to Mitsurugi for making me feel that way.

I started playing the piano, recalling my memories.

“Oh, are you alone here?”

Interrupting my satisfying performance, the math teacher Kados-sensei called out to me.

I feel a sense of disgust toward this man with a suspiciously smirking face, neatly styled hair, and an intellectual look with glasses.

“Kados-sensei, I was just practicing, nothing special.”

I don’t want to be around this man for too long.

“I see, I see. Well then, since you’re off today, how about having dinner together?”

“I’m fine. I’ve told you many times before that I won’t accept such invitations.”

Yes, this man has been approaching me since I started as a teacher at this school. Even though my heart belongs to that person…

“No, no, I just want to have a chat with the charming Takatori-sensei. Even though I got rejected, I’ll invite you again sometime.”

There’s something about his gaze that makes me feel sick.

It makes me feel physiologically uncomfortable.

I have refused him multiple times because I am thinking of that person, but Kados persistently invites me to join him.

“Sigh, it’s ruining my good mood. I guess it’s time to go home.”

Let’s tell Shion about what happened today.

Just thinking that made me a bit happy.

[Kados’ POV]

I entered the empty music room and rubbed my cheek against the piano chair.

“Hah, pant, pant, excellent! Soon, I’ll make you my girlfriend, Neon. Kukuku, teenage girls are not real women. Women in their twenties are the best. Rather than the big-breasted Kanja-sensei, everything about Neon is perfect. I will make Neon mine.”

I see my bloodshot eyes reflected in the mirror as I rub my cheek against the chair.

“Oh, what a blissful face I’m making! There are many fools in the world who would get caught trying their hand at a young student. The best move is approaching female teachers who you can have a legal relationship with without having to do something like that! Among them, the music teacher and the public health nurse are my favorites by far. I’ll make sure to make them fall for me.”

After thoroughly enjoying myself, I left the music room.

I would do anything to get Neon.

“Kukuku, kuku, hahaha!!”

Laughter echoed through the corridors of the old school building.
