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 79 - I Can’t Go On Like This [Kanja Shion’s POV]

Chapter 79 – I Can’t Go On Like This [Kanja Shion’s POV]

[Kanja Shion’s POV]

In the solemn atmosphere of the innermost shrine in the Kanja family’s residence, I found myself facing the current head, Oba-sama.

As a teacher, I was nervous to be summoned before returning to the school.

“Eh? An engagement?”

“That’s right! Kanja Shion. I would like to appoint you as the next head of the family. For that purpose, get married and give birth to a child. After your child is old enough, I will appoint you and retire.”

“Oba-sama, that’s…”

“This is not a request. It’s a command. When I predict the future of the Kanja family, there is no one better than you. This is my mercy. If you have someone you love, I will respect that. But if not, I’ll prepare someone for you.”

I had come back to help with Shinto rituals during the Obon period during summer break, but I was taken aback by Oba-sama’s sudden words, who is the current head of the family.

When I was let out of the room, I left the shrine with heavy steps.

“Hey, wait!”

“Eh, Neon?”

“What’s wrong? Ever since you got back, you’d sometimes suddenly have this dumbfounded look on your face.”

“Ah, um, sorry. Something happened .”

“I understand there are family matters that a regular teacher like me wouldn’t understand, but I consider us friends. If talking about it would make you feel better, feel free to talk with me anytime.”

Neon really is a good person.

Since we first met, she has taken care of me in various ways, and I feel like I’ve finally found a trustworthy friend.

“Yeah. Let’s talk for a bit then.”

“Great, let’s go out to eat today.”

On the third day of the second semester, Neon and I went out to eat and I told her I was confused and didn’t know what to do about the engagement that Oba-sama had told me about.

“Hmm, I see. A fiancee, huh? So what? Do you have someone you like?”

“Tha-that’s!”

My face suddenly became hot.

A boy came to mind.

He was innocent, and despite my embarrassing attempts to seduce him, he maintained a cheeky attitude.

But he was a mysterious boy with a charm different from any other man I had encountered.

He not only helped me but also Neon.

“Neon, the boy I’m interested in is a student.”

“…Sigh. I can’t say I don’t understand that feeling.”

I guess Neon feels the same way.

However, these feelings must be suppressed.

We are a teacher and student, there’s a significant age difference.

It would be immoral in this country called Japan.

Perhaps if I quit teaching, it might be acceptable, but leaving my job just to date him would likely invite criticism.

“Hah~, it’s difficult to control feelings, isn’t it?”

“Yes, but please don’t tell anyone about this. I might have to quit at the end of this year.”

“I know. Even if you decide to tell him, it’s not something I should say. It has to be Shion herself.”

“Thank you, Neon.”

I know your feelings too, Neon.

I can’t help but envy you.

“Everyone, I’m sure you’re all in a good mood after the summer break, but the second semester is about to start and we have the cultural festival ahead. There are various preparations to be made, such as deciding on roles and discussing what activities our class will do. Please be mentally prepared.”

Although some classes are elective at our school, class rearrangements are based on grades. And then there’s Mitsurugi Taketo-kun, who reigns at the top of Class A, where students with the highest grades gather.

Initially, Toranomon Akemi-san held the top spot, but due to family circumstances, she has dropped to third place.

In second place is Hitsujigaoka Momo-san.

Seated in front of Taketo-kun is Inukai Nazuna-san, and diagonally across from him is Ushiumi Kurumi-san.

Everyone looks beautiful, and it’s obvious that they have a crush on Taketo-kun.

I can feel my chest tightening.

Even after the summer break, he had transformed into an even more charming figure, yet he gazed out the window with the same expression as before.

It was as if, despite numerous advances from women, he continued to spend his days in a natural manner, effortlessly brushing off all of their attention.

“Sensei, is the orientation over?”

“Oh, sorry about that. Yes, it is. For the second term, you’ll organize your own curriculum, and the rest will be done using the terminals.”

“Yes.”

As the second term begins, I am amazed by Taketo-kun’s changes and the growth of the girls around him.

Although I haven’t been a teacher for that long, the students grow and change each day of their high school life.

But I remain unchanged.

No, it’s because of the age difference.

I can’t even sit around him and laugh together.

I don’t even have time to wait three years that I promised Taketo-kun, I’m the one who’ll be breaking the promise.

This feeling must be broken for my own convenience.

“Sigh.”

I couldn’t help but sigh.

“Kanja-sensei? What’s wrong?”

“Doukan-sensei! Oh no, it’s nothing.”

“Really? That was a loud sigh. If you ever need someone to talk to, I’m here to help. Just let me know! Hnn!”

Why are you flexing your muscles, I really don’t get it.

I wonder what would happen if I discussed my feelings with a man instead of a woman?

Such a question crossed my mind, but right now, I haven’t even sorted out my own emotions.

“No, it’s really okay.”

“Is that so? Sshaa!” 

Doukan-sensei smiled and struck a pose, but I decided to distance myself from him, thinking I should change my mood.

I can’t go on like this.
