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 45 - True Power

Chapter 45 – True Power

I stepped forward and blew away the athletes, causing them to exchange glances.

“Hey, isn’t Mitsurugi that…”

“Yeah, it’s that Ryuoin, right?”

“Yeah, that’s it.”

“Going against him could be bad later on, right?”

At times like this, my bad reputation is really useful.

When I was in middle school, as Ryuoin Taketo, I used to use the Ryuoin name in a forceful manner, which comes in handy in situations like this.

There isn’t a student at Tojo Academy who doesn’t know the name Ryuoin.

“Mitsurugi! It’s you again?”

“Tatemiya. Is this the method you chose to win?”

“What are you implying? To be honest, defeating Ushiumi Rock is difficult. But in a fight, you just have to win, no matter the situation. If you don’t win, you’ll be robbed.”

It seems like he is indicating his defeat and losing Toranomon Akemi.

“Is that really your answer?”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

Tatemiya declared with his fist raised.

I decided not to say anything more.

“You got in the way.”

“Wait. Mitsurugi-dono.”

“‘Dono’?”

“Yes. In the battle just now, I was definitely caught off guard. However, I wouldn’t have lost even if I faced everyone.”

“That’s probably true. I was just protecting those around me, nothing more.”

“Mmm.”

If I hadn’t stopped everyone, the male athletes might have been inflicted with unnecessary injuries by Ushiumi Rock, who wouldn’t hold back.

That would have hurt Ushiumi Kurumi’s feelings as well.

“You understood that much, huh? Then I’ll honestly say thank you. I appreciate it. No one got hurt.”

“You’re welcome. And don’t mess around just because you want your little sister to worry about you.”

“Kuku, fair enough.”

I stopped talking to Ushiumi Rock and returned to the bench. Mimi then sat down next to me.

“Is Ushiumi Kurumi okay?”

“She’s okay, nyaa~. Fufu, Taketo kept his promise to me.”

“The promise? It’s not like I was protecting Ushiumi Kurumi.”

“Right, but Taketo protected Kurumi’s heart, nyaa~.”

Unexpectedly serious, she hit the nail on the head. Mimì really is a unique one.

“Nyaa~n.”

She laid her head on my lap and purred.

Whether it’s Nazuna or Mimi, I feel like we’ve gotten closer lately.

As I was dealing with Mimi, the matter seemed to be reaching a conclusion.

“Sorry, Tatemiya or whatever it is. I wanted to test your spirit, but it seems you’re not qualified.”

“What are you talking about? You’re wounded, and it looks like you could collapse at any moment.”

Rock’s clothes were dirty because he was attacked as a group.

However, if you asked me if he received any physical damage, the answer would be no.

There’s no way that muscular freak can be defeated that easily.

“If that’s what you think, then go ahead and try. And the rest of you too. I did let my guard down earlier, but you can attack me as a group and try to steal Kurumi away. If you think challenging me as a group will earn you Kurumi’s affection, then come at me all you want.”

Rock is quite the man.

By boldly allowing himself to be attacked by a group, he plants a sense of guilt in those who attacked him.

“Don’t get it wrong. I’m the one facing you.”

Only one person who still doesn’t understand the situation.

Only Tatemiya was unfazed by Rock’s words and raised his fist.

Maybe he thinks it has nothing to do with him since he formally challenged Rock.

“Very well, Tatemiya. Let’s settle the matter.”

Rather than taking an easy-to-understand tackle stance like before, Ushiumi Rock waited for Tatemiya in a dignified stance.

“Here I come!”

Tatemiya charged at Rock.

The straight punch he learned from Saruwatari Gorimi-senpai in the past month is not a bad strike.

“Hah!”

“Your spirit isn’t wrong. But even so, it’s not enough. You lack the skills and breadth for me to entrust my sister to you. Wait for your turn and ask the cheerleading club officially.”

Tatemiya’s consciousness was reaped with a single strike that digs into his solar plexus. 

With an additional backflip triple twist, he bounced repeatedly before crashing into the soccer goal.

Normally, a person would die from that.

“Still want to continue?”

After seeing Ushiumi Rock’s attack, no one dared to challenge him anymore. Everyone must have thought it would be safer to formally put a request to the cheer squad and wait their turn.

“Onii-chan!”

“Kurumi. I’m sorry for causing unnecessary trouble.”

“No. I didn’t know what to do, thank you.”

“I see.”

Suddenly, Ushiumi Rock’s gaze captured me.

As Mimi was resting on my lap and I was patting her head, he came closer to me.

“You said you were Mitsurugi Taketo, right?”

“Yes, that’s right, Ushiumi-senpai.”

“Are you okay with this?”

Suddenly, he pointed at his younger sister and looked down at me with one eye closed.

“I’m not interested.”

“Houu, do you think my little sister is worthless?”

“Not at all. I’m fine as long as I can quietly live my school life. I just don’t feel the need to stand out.”

“I see, I understand your thoughts. So, this is my wish. I’d like to have a match with you.”

“Don’t hurt yourself.”

Why does he want to do something like a fighting manga?

I lifted Mimi’s body and stood up.

I took a stance ready to receive a tackle, just like the one Rock did to Tatemiya

“Is this okay? I’ve seen it once before.”

“This is the best way to test it.”

Rock started his charge.

Ushiumi Rock’s huge body approached me, but it felt like he just passed by me.

I didn’t put up any resistance.

I only used a bit of the force from his charge, redirecting it with the principles of Aikido.

“Gahaha!”

“Eh?”

“Funyaa~!”

Rock fell to the ground.

Kurumi was surprised.

But the one who was most surprised was Mimi.

“Are you satisfied now?”

“I’d like to ask you one thing.”

Still lying on the ground, Rock voiced his words.

“What is it?”

“This is a promise between men. It has nothing to do with my sister.”

“Yeah.”

“After I go to America. Can you help my sister if anything happens to her?”

“Onii-chan!”

I looked at Kurumi when I heard her scream.

Her gaze then turned towards me.

I looked away from Kurumi’s eyes, which looked as if they were pleading.

“You’re too soft on your sister. Let her stand on her own. If she truly needs help, let her ask for it herself.”

I said what I wanted to say and told Mimi that I was going home.

“Kukuku, gahahahahahaha!”

As I was leaving, I could hear Ushiumi Rock’s laugh.
