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 40 - Pride

Chapter 40 – Pride

Just as I stood by thinking it was time to show myself, I heard Takatori-sensei’s dignified voice.

“I still refuse!”

When I looked into the music room, I saw her standing straight and telling Kados with a firm attitude.

“What?! Even though I’ve been speaking so kindly! Do you understand?! You’ll be robbing your students of their future. Besides, you’ll also tarnish your own reputation!”

Hearing Kados’ impatient words, I stopped moving, wanting to hear what Takatori-sensei had to say.

“If the fire that Kados-sensei started turns bigger, I will leave the academy bearing all the disgrace.”

“What!”

“I am the one who seduced him, and I will appeal that he is entirely innocent. On top of that, Kados-sensei, I will make public the threats you made against me and the stalking you secretly filmed.”

I misjudged Takatori-sensei.

She is a splendid adult woman with the strength to brush off the sparks that fell on her.

“A-are you trying to threaten me?”

“You were the one who threatened first, weren’t you? Are you scared when it happens to you?”

“I’m not threatening! I’m just stating the facts. Your actions are unjust, and I am reproaching them.”

“Are you expecting something in return for your reproach?”

“Gah! …Fine. That’s enough.”

In the battle of words, it seems that Takatori-sensei won.

If it ends here, I can quietly leave.

This will be the end of Takatori-sensei and Kados’ love story.

“That’s enough! Despite caring so much for you and pouring my heart out for you, you choose a young and handsome man like Mitsurugi.”

“Kados-sensei?”

“I’m 40 years old and have never had a girlfriend. Lately, my girlfriend’s hair has been thinning out, and I’ve been worrying about it every day due to stress. Just having you by my side would make me happy.”

Kados put his hand into his jacket pocket and pulled out a tool.

“It’s your fault. If you had quietly dated me, you wouldn’t have to endure such pain.”

“What!”

Kados was holding a stun gun with a crackling electric current in his hand.

“It’s just you and me in this place. No one is watching even if you’re gone. Even when they look for you, who suddenly went absent without permission, they wouldn’t be able to find you.”

“Do you realize that what you’re doing is a criminal act?”

Takatori-sensei remained on guard while retreating, but if she is only within one step of being attacked.

“It’s your fault. You should have listened while I was being kind.”

Seizing the opportunity, I grabbed Kanja-sensei’s abdomen.

For a moment, Kanja-sensei’s gaze turned towards me, unsure of what had happened, and then she looked at his stomach, where my hand was touching.

Gradually understanding the situation, she screamed, “Kyaaa!!!”

I jumped into the music room at the same time as Kanja-sensei’s scream.

Takatori-sensei, who was distracted by the scream, and Kados were looking towards me.

Kados noticed that I was rushing in, understood the situation, and tried to approach Takadori-sensei, but I kicked and hit him in the face.

“Ghaa!”

Taking the next step, I gave Kados a flying kick and disarmed him of the stun gun.

“H-huh!?”

“You’re caught red-handed.”

“Mitsurugi!!! Youu?!!!”　

Takatori-sensei was surprised by my appearance.

“I just came to help you.”

“T-that was really dangerous! He had a stun gun!!”

“I know. And I heard that you were trying to shoulder all the burden for my sake.”

“Hmph! You’ve been watching me this whole time!? Well, it’s not for your sake. It’s a matter of my pride. I just don’t want to blame someone else. I’ve lived by my own strength. I just don’t want to shift responsibility onto someone else.”

Blushing and averting her gaze, Takatori-sensei noticed Kanja-sensei and Yukine standing by the door.

“Shion.”

“Neon! It’s okay now!”

Kanja-sensei finally caught up with the situation and ran up to Takatori-sensei and hugged her.

Yukine came close to me and looked down at Kados who had passed out.

“Is this the event?”

“Yeah. A middle-aged guy, twisted in love, resorts to stalker-like behavior and attacks a female teacher.”

“How?”

“Hmm? Are you asking how I figured that out?”

“Yes.”

“It’s Kados’ eyes.”

“Eyes?”

It’s not like the game world where you can see the other person’s likability towards you.

However, Kados’ eyes were glaring at me, and he didn’t even try to hide them.

“Kados seemed to have no leeway in his heart. He was looking at me with hatred in his eyes.”

“That’s amazing! Takkun can understand people’s hearts too.”

“I’d rather not understand hatred.”

“What will you do?”

Seeing Kados unconscious, Yukine asked a question.

“You don’t have to worry about anything!”

“Kanja-sensei?”

“I witnessed everything, so I will testify. Everything that Kados-sensei did was a criminal act. I will report it to the school and take appropriate action.”

Following Kanja-sensei’s declaration, Takatori-sensei also smiled kindly.

“That’s right. Mitsurugi doesn’t have to worry about anything. Kados-sensei was a clear threat. You used violence to protect me. The principal and vice-principal will understand.”

When Yukine heard the two teachers defending me, she looked relieved from the bottom of her heart.
