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 67 - To Kansai

Chapter 67 – To Kansai

I was able to officially return as Ryuoin Taketo, but it was too much of a hassle, so I decided not to change my last name at school, keeping it as Mitsurugi Taketo.

However, the money that I had been receiving as support has now been converted into my pocket money, and the wallet and smartphone that were confiscated when I left the Ryuoin family have been returned.

Originally, Taketo never used his own wallet, but instead had the Old man give him a card for shopping.

One of Taketo’s parents’ goals was for him to learn how to be independent by having him start living on his own.

By having Nazuna by his side, he was supposed to learn about life and deepen their relationship, but because I reincarnated into Taketo’s body, I became self-sufficient, and Taketo no longer relied on Nazuna, and their relationship of trust was reset.

And because we attended the same Tojo Academy, I understood that Nazuna was sincerely on my side.

And, seeing her devoted attitude, I also thought that I wouldn’t want Nazuna to be taken by another man.

I learned that by aligning my mind and body, I’m able to display great power.

“Takeo-sama, would you like the beef tongue bento?”

“Something simple like rice balls is good enough.”

“No, that’s no good. Since it’s a special trip, this is part of the fun.”

“Is that how it is?”

“Yup, that’s how it is.”

Nazuna and I had arrived at Tokyo Station after being dropped off by the Old man.

From here, we’ll be taking the Shinkansen to Kyoto.

We’re going to visit Hitsujigaoka Momo’s place, whom I’ve become friends with at school.

And this trip isn’t just for the two of us.

“I’ll choose this.”

“Seaweed rice ball and ikura! Hmmm, I like meat, so I’ll go with the beef tongue bento.”

I was actually planning on getting a more comfortable seat in the Shinkansen, but that doesn’t have 3 seats. Nazuna and Nekono Mimi had insisted on sitting together, so Mimi will be sitting by the window, me in the middle, and Nazuna by the aisle, and the destination is Kyoto.

“Sniff, it seems like you two have the same scent. Did you guys start dating?”

The first thing Mimi talked about when we got on the Shinkansen is love stories, which is typical of her free-spirited self.

Nazuna froze and averted her gaze, not even looking at Mimi.

While her attitude was quite clear, I decided to respond to Mimi.

“Why do you think so?”

“I sense it from the smell, and the dog seems relaxed. Normally, she barks like crazy when I’m around, but today, not a single bark.”

“Gggrr~”

She’s groaning a bit, though.

“A lot of things happened. I’m now going out with Nazuna.”

“I see. Hmm.”

When I honestly admitted it, Nazuna’s face turned bright red and she looked down.

Mimi looked somewhat bored.

“Does Taketo like Mimi?”

“Huh?”

Even though we just talked about me dating Nazuna, Mimi, with her usual carefree thinking, asked if I liked her.

After thinking about it, I think she’s attractive both as a friend and as a woman.

However, I started to think about how answering “yes” here might make Nazuna feel uneasy.

“Taketo-sama, it’s okay if you answer honestly.”

“Huh?”

Nazuna, who was looking down with a red face, raised her head and whispered in my ear.

“If you don’t like her, then that’s fine. But if you do like her, I want you to convey it properly.”

“What does that mean?”

I felt like I understood the meaning of Nazuna’s words and Mimi’s serious eyes as she stared at me.

As Taketo, I wonder what I think of Mimi.

“I like Mimi. She’s probably my best friend. And as a woman, I find her attractive. I don’t know if I see her as a woman as much as I see Nazuna, but for now, that’s where it stands.”

“Yeah. Thank you. I’m honestly happy to be Taketo’s best friend. Also, I’m happy that you find me attractive as a woman. I still only feel like giving half of myself to Taketo.”

“Giving half?”

Thinking it was a strange way to put it, I tilted my head.

“Yeah. Because I like Taketo, but I don’t think I’m ready to give everything like Nazuna does. So I lost. I can understand that.”

Even with my ambiguous answer, Mimi seemed to accept it somehow.

There seems to be a very mysterious meaning as the first step in this trip.

As the atmosphere became somewhat awkward, we decided to start eating the station bento we had purchased.

In the end, after thinking about it, I bought a cutlet sandwich.

It’s a famous cutlet sandwich at the Tokyo Station, but Nazuna couldn’t help but worry if it was enough for me.

I assured her that it was delicious, especially when paired with coffee.

In fact, I didn’t get hungry until we arrived at Kyoto Station.

Before arriving, we saw Mount Fuji, listened to Mimi’s story about her family, and briefly talked about the incidents that happened at my part-time jobs and at Nazuna’s place. Before we knew it, we had arrived at Kyoto Station.

When we exited the Shinkansen and exited Kyoto Station, a limousine arranged by Hitsujigaoka Momo was waiting for us, with Momo there to greet us.

“Welcome. My parents live in Hyogo, but the Shinkansen is better here, so let’s go sightseeing in Kyoto.”

“Welcome! Although my hometown is in Hyogo, taking the Shinkansen is more exciting, isn’t it? Anyway, shall we start sightseeing in Kyoto?”

With Momo’s hospitality, our Kansai trip officially began with sightseeing today.
