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 80 - Why Am I So Weak? [Toranomon Akemi’s POV]

Chapter 80 – Why Am I So Weak? [Toranomon Akemi’s POV]

[Toranomon Akemi’s POV]

The moment I entered the classroom, I realized for the first time the gravity of the crime I had committed.

Taketo-sama was surrounded by four women and was laughing.

During summer break, I spent most of my time in my dorm room.

I was hesitant to return home after my family declared bankruptcy, and none of the students in the academy approached me anymore.

That’s why I keep thinking back to the events in my junior high school days.

In a hasty judgment, I believed I was saving Taketo-sama.

Stirred up by Tatemiya Yuushi, those who thought Taketo-sama was a hindrance rallied, and thinking Taketo-sama was suffering, I declared his defeat.

If I think about it now, it was unnecessary meddling from my part.

It was an act of betrayal because I didn’t believe in Taketo-sama’s strength.

The result was the annulment of the marriage between the Ryuoin family and the Toranomon family.

The Ryuoin family proposed the annulment, stating Taketo-sama’s expulsion as the reason.

The Toranomon family lost interest in Taketo-sama, who no longer had the backing of the Ryuoin family, and accepted.

And then, after Taketo-sama was expelled, I didn’t even ask him about it and was just living carefreely.

Did I really want to monopolize Taketo-sama? 　

Perhaps now, I want to keep Taketo-sama, who has the Ryuoin name, all to myself.

The Toranomon family and I are the same.

I was only looking at the title, but not at Taketo-sama himself.

That’s why I’m alone now.

“Toranomon-sama.”

“Nazuna.”

Even though the second semester has started and no one wants to speak to me anymore, Nazuna and Yukine-sama are the only ones who continue to talk to me.

“How long do you plan to sulk?”

“What are you talking about?”

“During the summer break, I became Taketo-sama’s girlfriend.”

“…Is that something to brag about? I betrayed Taketo-sama, and despite receiving kind words, in the end, I’m just his ex-fiancée and childhood friend. On the contrary, you have ascended to the position of his right hand and even earned the title of his girlfriend.”

My chest tightened.

I didn’t really want to say that.

I wanted to congratulate Nazuna on becoming Taketo-sama’s girlfriend.

I can no longer go back to that place anymore.

I’m all alone, I’ll probably get married to someone else my family chooses, while still carrying these feelings for Taketo-sama.

Now that my family is in ruin, I don’t know where I’ll end up as a ransom.

Maybe I’ll be asked to marry someone much older to be the foundation of the family.

“Nazuna. I’m so jealous of you. You can be next to Taketo-sama without thinking about anything.”

“That side of you still hasn’t changed. Always trying to be strong, always spending time alone. They say, ‘Beside a dragon, only a tiger can stand,’ and I thought you were suitable next to Taketo-sama. If you’re going to play the role of a lonely tiger, I won’t extend any help to you anymore.” (T/N: The Ryuoin name is related to dragons, the Toranomon name is related to tigers.)

Help? What is she talking about?

All I know is that Taketo-sama has changed since entering the second semester.

But despite pledging to give everything, I can’t do anything for Taketo-sama.

Even though Taketo-sama and those around him are moving forward, I’ve remained still and am full of regrets.

Even though he now calls me Akemi, he never initiates a conversation with me.

Taketo-sama is surrounded by many beautiful women, including Nazuna.

“If you still don’t understand, I’ll tell you clearly. Taketo-sama confronted his parents.”

“Eh?”

“After that, his expulsion was lifted. He’s regained his status as Ryuoin Taketo. And, besides me, he’s currently dating three other women.”

“Taketo-sama is currently dating four people in total?”

Has Ryuoin Taketo-sama regained his power? Is he really dating four people? I really don’t understand.

Taketo-sama didn’t just become connected with Nazuna and became more mature. He faced various challenges and regained his strength.

He fought against his parents.

He made multiple women fall in love with him.

The Ryuoin Taketo-sama I knew has returned kinder and with more sex appeal.

“I can’t tell you more than this. If you want to stand on the same level as us and desire Taketo-sama, why don’t you first face your own circumstances?”

After saying that, Nazuna left my side.

Left alone, I pretended not to notice Nazuna’s kindness as she scolded my lonely self as the evening dawned.

I’ve always been oppressed by my family.

I had resigned myself to the fact that there was no point in saying anything.

“Do I have to face the Toranomon family myself?”

How did Taketo-sama face his parents? And how can I resolve the current situation of the Toranomon family?

Even after getting hints from Nazuna, all I could do was think about what to do.

Not long after, I received a message from Mother.

There, the topic of my marriage was brought up as a way to save the Toranomon family.

It was something I had feared, and I now have to make a decision regarding Mother’s proposal.

“Taketo-sama. What should I do?”

I’ve dedicated my entire life to Taketo-sama and lost everything because of one mistake. Will I just be washed away like this? Or should I face everything like Nazuna said…

“Why am I so weak?”

My own inadequacy alone tightened my chest.
