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 42 - Tatemiya Yuushi Can’t Give Up

Chapter 42 – Tatemiya Yuushi Can’t Give Up

[Tatemiya Yuushi’s POV]

What am I doing?

“Oi! Tatemiya! Your arm is lowered! Posture is important for a straight punch!”

“Osu!”

At Saruwatari Gorimi’s scolding, I straightened my back and thrust my fist forward.

This is strange.

This is not what I wanted to do.

In reality, by successfully condemning Ryuoin Taketo and calling off his engagement with Toranomon Akemi, the main heroine, I was supposed to be living a rosy high school life with her.

Yet here I am…

In my sweaty training suit, I throw straight punches in the karate dojo as summer approaches. Alone with Saruwatari-senpai…

“Hmm?”

“What’s wrong?”

“Saruwatari-senpai. Why aren’t there any other club members? This is the karate club’s dojo, right?”

“Indeed. This is a club I established, and the dojo that was used in the old school building happened to be left over when other clubs weren’t using it, so I’m allowed to use it.”

“You created the club?”

“That’s right. There was no karate club at Tojo Academy until I joined. After enrolling in our school, the school accommodated me, who has won the national championship in karate. It’s lamentable that despite karate being adopted as an Olympic sport, its popularity remains low!”

Her long, fiery red hair is feminine.

And when she crosses her arms, she lifts up her huge breasts that seem to be bursting.

However, her muscular arms are thick and her height is nearly 180 centimeters.

That chest is no good.

If only I didn’t see that chest… Yeah.

Her face isn’t bad either.

It’s not ugly.

Although she has a gorilla face, she has a beautiful face.

However, she’s not my type.

I love refined young ladies.

Toranomon Akemi is in first place by far.

2nd place is Ryuoin Yukine.

These two are my type.

In the worst case, I thought even my childhood friend Hitsujigaoka Momo, who speaks in Kansai dialect but is still a young lady, would be fine.

However, in order to keep my promise not to speak to Toranomon Akemi, I have recently started sitting in the farthest seat in class instead of sitting next to her.

Since I no longer have contact with Ryuoin Yukine through the student council, I don’t even have a chance to meet her.

I can’t even meet Hitsujigaoka Momo because we take different classes.

I think there might be a chance if we meet and talk.

But, why did it turn out like this?

“Hey! Your posture is off again!”

“Osu!”

If only it weren’t a strong woman like Saruwatari Gorimi but a cute girl supporting me, what would it be like?

Suddenly, the image of one heroine comes to mind.

Ushiumi Kurumi.

She is a heroine who is called the goddess of the sports club and is a member of the cheer club.

If she joins the karate club, I’d want her to cheer for me.

“This is the third time. Cut it out already!”

“Ouch! S-Sorry.”

“It seems like your heart isn’t in it today. Your mind is elsewhere. Do you have something on your mind?”

“Well… Yes. I do have a concern.”

“Hmm. Is it about Tokonome Akemi?”

“Hu?”

“Did you have feelings for her?”

Saruwatari Gorimi was a pure-hearted character who cared for her juniors in the game’s setting.

She’s not a bad person.

She’s a good person, just not my type.

“No, it’s fine now.”

“Oh, really? Can feelings of love change so easily?”

“Well, it’s true that Toranomon Akemi is my first love.”

“First love, huh?”

Saruwatari Gorimi looked up at the ceiling with a somewhat nostalgic expression.

“First love doesn’t always work out. There’s a saying like that. So, I’ve decided to change my feelings and move forward.”

“Hmm! That’s a good attitude. When I first brought you here, you acted like a spoiled child. I wondered how things would turn out, but you’ve grown.”

This past month has been hell.

Why do I have to listen to her and practice karate? 　

I was supposed to win against Ryuoin Taketo at the sports festival.

I never expected to be defeated.

But if I don’t keep my promise, the other heroines won’t be able to accept it.

Since I showed the shame of showing tears, I should at least show the integrity of keeping my promises.

I’ve been enduring the past month with this mindset.

However, I’ve reached my limit.

I don’t care if it’s either Hitsujigaoka Momo, who is the most easy-going, or Ushiumi Kurumi, the goddess of the sports club. I want to be comforted by them.

“Thank you! It’s all thanks to you, Saruwatari-senpai!”

“Y-yeah. For some reason, I occasionally sense some negative energy from you. But being genuinely thanked doesn’t make me unhappy.”

She has a pure heart, but her instincts are sharp, so I have been training here to erase my presence.

As long as I look like I’m seriously practicing karate, I can fool Saruwatari Gorimi.

“Then, what is the problem now?”

“What?! Is that your concern?!”

“What! Is that really what you’re worried about?!”

“That’s right! I was rejected by Toranomon Akemi. As a result, my heart was hurt, and over the course of a month I devoted myself to karate and tried to forget.”

“Mmm. You’ve certainly been dedicating yourself to karate. It’s good to graciously accept defeat.”

Gulping, I clenched my fist and thrust a straight punch towards Saruwatari Gorimi, stopping just before it touched her huge breasts.

“However, a heart wounded by love can only be healed by love. So, I’ve been troubled because I want to start a new love!”

“Oh! Despite saying something stupid, you sound genuinely troubled! This is not for me to judge.”

“Then I started thinking about who I could fall in love with, and I couldn’t put my mind to it.”

At my declaration, she crossed her arms, tilting her head in confusion.

“I don’t know if I should get angry or support you. Hmm.”

“Please! I would like Saruwatari-senpai to support me!”

“I-is that so? Well, do your best.”

“Yes! Thank you. I’ll get going now!”

“W-where are you going? Hey! Ah, he ran off. Well, I guess he’ll show up to the club eventually. If he doesn’t, I’ll go pick him up.”

I’m going to see Ushiumi Kurumi!

Wait for me, Kurumi-chan!
