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 58 - Getting Rid of the Trouble

Chapter 58 – Getting Rid of the Trouble

As I was preparing to open the store, I heard voices of some kind of quarrel.

“Nee-san. I need money. Please.”

A not-so-big man, who could not be described as well-dressed, entered the store and grabbed Shiina-san’s arm, shouting.

“Hiroshi! Stop this!”

Shiina-san forcefully shook off his grip.

At that moment, Shiina-san was slapped on the cheek.

I was planning on staying out if nothing happened, but this is unacceptable.

“Uncle! Stop it!”

“Shut up! I need money!!”

I grabbed the man by the scruff of his neck and threw him outside.

“What the hell are you doing? Do you not know who I am?”

“Who are you talking to?”

“Huh? Who are you! This is a family matter! Outsiders shouldn’t interfere.”

“Huh, family you said?”

“That’s right! Shiina-neesan is my older sister. It’s only natural for an older sister to take care of her younger brother!”

It’s been a long time since I had to deal with a troublesome person.

“I’m only an outsider. That’s why…”

“Outsiders should mind their own business! You scum, never come back!”

“Shisitei Shiina-san.”

“Yes?!”

I admit that my personality isn’t the best, but the same goes for this guy.

He has the personality to say whatever he wants.

Moreover, he understands that he can get away with it. It’s really troublesome.

“Only you can decide. There is a set number of people you can protect. Who do you want to protect? Is it this trash? Or the girls who are scared behind you?”

“……”

Shiina-san clenched her fist.

“Hey, trash.”

“I’m not trash! I’m Gedo Hiroshi.”

“I see, thanks for clarifying. You realize it yourself, right? Shiina-san is now a Shisitei. She married and became unrelated to you. Such a sister won’t take responsibility for you, right?”

“Y-you! Shut up! We’re all related by blood! If one of us is in trouble, we’ll help each other!”

Troubles are common to everyone, everywhere.

If there are personal struggles, there are also relationship struggles.

And the problem for the Shisitei family is Shiina-san’s troublesome younger brother begging for money, Hiroshi.

In the game, giving money to Hiroshi leads to an incident orchestrated by Ryuoin Taketo, who later frames the protagonist and Shisitei Shiina.

The protagonist then exposes the crime, eliminating Ryuoin Taketo and Hiroshi as accomplices.

However, in this real-life situation, there is no Ryuoin Taketo to give any money to this trash.

Without the game protagonist to eliminate this guy, what’s the best action here?

“Shiina-san, it’s your decision. Will you help this guy? Or the girls behind you? I’ll support your choice.”

Shiina-san looked at Sayoko.

This is a family issue.

Hiroshi’s words are definitely true.

“Nee-san! Please, I promise this is the last time. I won’t come here again. Just help me this once.”

Shiina-san’s heart must be shaken by Hiroshi’s appeal.

So I told the facts to her straight.

“If you don’t get rid of this guy now, he’ll keep coming to you for money, and your daughters might be in danger. On the other hand, I want you to think of this as your chance. This is the first and last opportunity to get rid of him. If you don’t do it now, you may end up causing sadness to your daughters.”

Even with these words, regret should not come before action.

Above all, cutting ties with someone is a challenging decision.

“J-just this once, I’ll help you.”

Shiina-san probably chose that because she’s kind.

I tried to step back from between the two of them, but Sayoko grabbed Shiina-san’s arm.

“No, Mom!”

“Eh!?”

“I know that Uncle has begged Mom for money several times before. Each time, Mom struggled, borrowed money, and ended up in trouble. Now…we have Taketo-san! He’s the only one who can help us now. Now is the time to get rid of Uncle!”

Sayoko complained with tears in her eyes.

I’m really glad Ino-chan isn’t here right now.

“Eh? Huh? What’s going on?”

Damn it! Of all times!!

“Hehehe! If it isn’t Ino-chan.”

Ino-chan, who just returned, and Hiroshi are the closest in terms of position.

I turned on my heel and stretched out my hand, but…

“Damn it!”

Hiroshi had grabbed Ino-chan’s neck.

“Nee-san. Do you not care what happens to your precious daughter?”

“Gaah!!”

Ino-chan groaned in pain.

Seeing this, Shiina-san saw this and started moving. She grabbed the money from the cash register and approached Hiroshi.

“This is what you wanted, right? Let Ino go!”

“Hehehe. That’s right, should’ve done this from the beginning.”

Just as Hiroshi reaches for the money with the hand opposite the one holding Ino-chan’s neck, Shiina-san slapped him across the face.

“What!”

“There’s no way I’ll ever forgive you for hurting my daughter!”

“You!”

Both the grip on Ino-chan and the money loosened.

“Oh, now it’s my turn.”

Shiina-san has made her choice.

“Taketo-chan!”

“Leave it to me.”

After handing Ino-chan to Shiina-san, I forcefully pulled Hiroshi away.

If Shiina has made her choice between her daughter and her brother, all that’s left is to help.

“Argh!”

“You’re already a criminal for extortion and assault.”

“You bastard!”

“Oh yeah, let me tell you something.”

“W-what?”

I grabbed Hiroshi and muttered so that only he could hear.

“I am Ryuoin Taketo.”

“Ryuoin…! Did you say Ryuoin?!”

I didn’t want to mention the Ryuoin name, but it’s necessary to save the Shisitei family.

Even if my parents don’t acknowledge me, even if it’s the only time I use this name, I won’t hesitate.

“You know what will happen if you go against a member of the Ryuoin family, right?”

“Gaah!”

“I’ve taken a liking to this family. If anything happens to them, erasing you would be easy. Even if someone other than you did something to them, I would blame it on you and eliminate you.”

“T-that’s…!”

“That’s why I’m giving you a mission. From now on, protect this family with your power and don’t get close to them. Don’t do anything shady. Work honestly to prevent external threats, and don’t let me hear any excuses. You’ve received protection money from Shiina-san for a long time, right? Do you understand?”

Hiroshi’s face turned pale at my words, and all he could do was nod.

He purposely left out his smartphone number and his driver’s license.

“Taketo-chan?”

“I made him promise never to come again.”

“Why? Why are you going this far for us?”

“Who knows. It’s just a whim. Consider it a parting gift before my break starting tomorrow.”

After finishing my day’s work, I left the shop.

“Taketo-san.”

“Sayoko?”

“Thank you very much!!!”

Sayoko bowed her head outside the store.

Perhaps she is the only one who knows my true identity.

“It’s fine. From tomorrow, Gedo Hiroshi will protect you. Do your best to live as a family.”

“Umm!”

“Yeah, what is it?”

“No, it’s nothing.”

Sayoko looked like she wanted to say something, but I just patted her on the head and went home.

♢

[Shisitei Sayoko’s POV]

I know.

I know that Mitsurugi Taketo-sama is Ryuoin Taketo-sama.

And I know that Uncle is weak against power and strong individuals.

Taketo-sama came forward to protect us.

I wanted to confess to him that I like him.

But I can’t say that now.

So, there’s only one thing I can say.

“Thank you very much.”

Someday, I want to tell him that I like him.

But not now.

Taketo-sama gently patted my head, that’s enough for now.
