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 52 - The Start of Summer Break

Chapter 52 – The Start of Summer Break

It’s very hot.

With the start of summer break, most of the students have left the dorm and returned to their parents’ homes.

The only people left were those who were involved in club activities, and the number of students had decreased to about half.

“Ah, Taketo-san. Good morning.”

I haven’t heard anything from Yukine yet.

That’s why I was still at the academy and was taking a walk when I met Kurumi.

“Club activity?”

“Yes! I’m going to practice now. Would you like to come and watch?”

“Ah, no, it’s fine. There’ll probably be a lot of people watching.”

“Mmuu~, that’s a shame.”

Kurumi, dressed in a cheerleading outfit, looks very cute. Even though she’s wearing leggings under the fluttering skirt, male students on break from their club activities must still want to watch her dance splendidly.

“You seem busy during the summer break.”

“That’s right. Tojo Academy also focuses on sports, we have to go cheer for the national competition because we’ve advanced through the matches.”

“I see. Good luck. Kurumi’s smile will motivate our athletes.”

“Fufu, I want to motivate you too, Taketo-san.”

Kurumi, whom I had thought to be shy, is really cute. She’s seductively pressing her chest to me and seducing me in her cheerleading costume.

“Yes, yes. See you later.”

“That’s right. Towards the end of summer break, the cheerleading club also takes a break, so please take me somewhere. I want to thank you for the test.”

“Thank me for the test?”

“Fufu, I’m sure Taketo-san has forgotten about it since he didn’t take it seriously, but you and Tatemiya-kun were competing against each other in the test. You won by a landslide with perfect scores.”

I was thinking about Toranomon Akemi, and I hadn’t seen Tatemiya since then, so I had completely forgotten about him.

Come to think of it, I remember Kurumi made a promise to me if I win.

“Therefore, please accept my thanks.”

“There’s really no need.”

“But I want to.”

With her closing in and peering into my face, there’s no choice but to accept.

Even though it was summer and she was sweating, Kurumi had a sweet smell.

“Fine.”

“Fufu, it’s a promise then.”

Lately, I’ve been making various promises, so I might forget.

“Yeah, yeah. See you later.”

“Yes! I’ll be going.”

After seeing Kurumi off, I headed to the music room of the old school building since I was free, when I heard the sound of the brass band.

Takatori-sensei is the conductor, and it sounded good.

“There! You’re half a tone off! Your lack of practice on the violin is noticeable! You’ll be playing the violin a lot from now on as we head into summer. Brace yourselves!”

“””””Yes!”””””

Hearing Takatori-sensei’s angry voice, I couldn’t help but laugh.

Thinking that everyone is experiencing youth, I can’t help but want to climb higher.

Changing course, I decided to enter the school building and headed for the rooftop.

On the way, I heard Yukine and Akemi come out of the student council room and talk about the budget for club activities and events after summer break, but that has nothing to do with me.

Opening the rooftop door, the sunlight is harsh without any shade.

I went to the back of the clock tower, the only shade on the rooftop, and lied down.

“This is Mimi’s spot.”

“Huh? Didn’t you say you were going home?”

“I’ll be leaving tomorrow. I came here to take a nap before that.”

“Why are you going out of your way to sleep here?”

“Well, that’s obvious.”

“Huh?”

“It’s hot in the sun. I want to nap in the shade.”

That’s not what I meant, but… I gave up the spot anyway, thinking she might have a preference here.

“Mmph~”

“You’re quite free, huh?”

“That’s right!”

“Haha, true.”

“Did something happen?”

“Huh?”

I was surprised when Mimi asked me this question.

“The usual Taketo is even more handsome.”

“What do you mean?”

“Hmm, I feel like your heart isn’t here today.”

Mimi is very sharp after all.

Momo went back to her parents’ house early, and Nazuna left the dorm to meet her father before coming to my house.

If you ask me, that’s all that happened, but there was a part of me that was worried.

“Taketo always does things for someone else.”

“Huh?”

“He told me to come to him if I had any problems. We had a proper talk and you helped me make up my mind. After that, I became friends with Nazuna and Momo. I don’t know much about Kurumi yet, but since Taketo was there, she seems to be having a fun school life.”

“I see. That’s good.”

“Yeah. But what about Taketo?”

“What?”

“Is Taketo having fun?”

Mimi is always good at getting to the point.

Somewhere along the line, I sometimes question whether I’m comparing myself to the original me, to Ryuoin Taketo, and wonder which one I am.

It’s because I feel like I’m not entirely myself.

“Hmm, I wonder.”

“Eeey!”

Mimi suddenly hugged me.

It’s not the usual way she lays her head on my lap, asking to be pampered.

Rather, Mimi’s chest is against me, as if hugging my head.

“It’s hot, you know?”

“Be patient, this is a precious time.”

“What are you talking about?”

“When people can feel the warmth of human skin, they can calm down.”

“What’s with that?”

“When my heart aches, Mom and Onee-chan did this for me. Taketo, I think your heart is tired.”

Mimi’s words made me wonder if I’m truly tired.

I feel like my indecisive attitude may lead to uncertainty in the future.

Will something change after I have a talk with my parents?

Am I replacing my own anxiety with concern for Nazuna, trying to convince myself it’s for someone else’s sake?

“Taketo is trying too hard for others. I think he could use a break for himself once in a while.”

“A break of myself, you say…”

“Yeah, you can rest with my body.”

“Huh?”

I looked up, not understanding what Mimi meant.

Nekono Mimi’s cute and shockingly beautiful face was looking down at me.

Her emerald eyes, visible like a cat’s, were so beautiful, and our faces were so close that it felt like a kiss might happen.

“Nyaa~”

She licked the tip of my nose.

“It’s salty, nyaa~”

“What are you doing?”

“It’s revenge for kissing me on the forehead before!”

After saying that, Mimi moved away from me.

“Taketo, it’s better when you act cool and put on airs, nyaa~. By the time we meet Momo’s place next time, go back to normal, nyaa~”

The look on Mimi’s triumphant face as she left was so funny that I naturally found myself laughing.

It seems like I’ve been overthinking things about myself, meeting my parents, and other things.

Maybe it’s better to approach things with a carefree mindset, just like Mimi.

Feeling a little lighter now, I feel really grateful to Mimi.
