I Reincarnated as the Overpowered Male Lead in an Erotic Game and Had Already Slept with One of the Heroines~ - Chapter 31 - Which Heroine to Be Cuckolded [Yamazaki Shin’s POV]

Chapter 31 – Which Heroine to Be Cuckolded [Yamazaki Shin’s POV]

[Yamazaki Shin’s POV]

I came to the place that guy… Miyazato specified on Sunday afternoon.

“Why Kaoru…”

No matter how I look at it, I don’t want him anywhere near Kaoru.

But when he brings up his brother, I don’t know what to do…

I’ve heard that there are people who were sent to the hospital by his brother, unable to ever walk again, although I don’t know if that’s true.

If I refuse to do what he says, that could happen to me, and it scares me so much I can’t breathe.

You might think that if something happens, I can just go to the police, but by that time, I might already be unable to walk… That’s too late no matter how I see it.

If I refused, I could end up crippled. But if I obeyed, who knows what would happen to Kaoru?

“Seriously, what should I do…”

He said that if I wanted him to give up on Kaoru, I should come today, but honestly, I have no idea what he’s thinking.

It’s probably nothing good…

While I was waiting thinking that, Miyazato showed up.

“Yo, Shin! You made it!”

Miyazato said with a grin as soon as we met.

“So what is it all about…”

“Come on, we just met. Let’s calm down for a bit.”

“…Just tell me what you want.”

When I said that, Miyazato spoke again, still grinning.

“Well then, can you bring your childhood friend next time?”

“That’s… No, I can’t.”

“Then my brother will come after you, Shin. Is that really okay? The next time we meet, you might get crippled.”

Hearing those words, I suddenly felt more scared. Hearing it directly made it feel a hundred times more real.

Just thinking about never being able to walk again scares me so much that it makes me sick…

Even if that doesn’t happen, I’d definitely end up in the hospital.

Why should I have to go through that…

As I was trembling with this thought, Miyazato spoke,

“Well, if you hate it that much, I’ll give up on your childhood friend.”

“Really?”

I felt a sense of hope after hearing what Miyazoto said.

“Well, if you really don’t want your childhood friend to be with me, I’ll give up. But in return, I have a favor to ask of you, and you have to do it.”

“It has nothing to do with Kaoru, right…”

“Yeah, nothing to do with your childhood friend.”

“And you’re not going to do anything to me, are you?”

“Yeah. I’m not. As long as you do exactly what I say.”

If that’s the case, maybe I can work with this…

It seems he’s not gonna do anything to me, either.

“What’s this favor…?”

“It’s nothing too hard. You remember that girl you were walking home with before?”

“The person I was walking with?”

It wasn’t a guy, right?

Then it could only be Kaoru or Hirosaki-san…

“That’s right. It’s that cute blonde girl. Instead of your childhood friend, why don’t you invite her out to hang with me?”

He’s asking for Hiroshiki-san instead of Kaoru?!

I definitely don’t want to introduce Hiroshiki-san to this guy…

I’ve been talking to Hirosaki-san even more than Kaoru lately, and more than anything——There’s no way I’d let such a cute girl near a bastard like him…

As I was thinking that, Miyazato continued,

“What’s wrong? Could it be that cute blonde is more important to you than your childhood friend? If that’s the case, I can settle for your childhood friend.”

“That’s not true…”

If I had to choose who’s more important, it’s Kaoru. She’s been with me since we were kids.

But I like both of them, so I don’t know what I should do…

“If you introduce me to that blonde girl, I promise I won’t have anything to do with you and your childhood friend again.”

If I introduce Hiroshiki-san to this guy, it will save me and Kaoru…

And there’s still a chance that nothing bad will happen to Hirosaki-san either…

But there’s also a chance he’ll break his promise…

After that, I listened to Miyazato’s story and thought about it for a while, but I still couldn’t answer.

In the end, I was given a week to think about it, but if I didn’t do anything within that time, he’d send his brother after me.

◆

I thought about it at night after returning home.

“Hah…”

Why did it end up like this…

If I introduce Kaoru to him, both Hiroshiki-san and I will be saved.

If I introduce Hiroshiki-san to him, both Kaoru and I will be saved.

If I don’t do what he says, his brother will come after me, but Kaoru and Hiroshiki-san will be saved.

No… If I don’t do it, he’ll just go after either Kaoru or Hiroshiki-san directly…

He’s the type to do that.

“In that case…”

If no matter what, Kaoru or Hirosaki-san would be targeted, wouldn’t it be better to sacrifice one to satisfy him?

That way I’ll be saved too.

“No, but…”

This is no good. No matter how much I think about it, I don’t know what to do.

But I only have a week.

Maybe I should introduce Hiroshiki-san to him after all…

Anyway, I’ll try to think of something more to do.

That night, I couldn’t fall asleep.

◆

——The next day at school.

I was thinking during class.

I was thinking so much about Miyazato’s ultimatum that I couldn’t concentrate on studying.

Nor did I take notes.

Even when my friends tried to talk to me, I was completely zoned out.

Even Kaoru and the others asked if something was wrong…

After thinking it through, I decided to introduce Hirosaki-san.

I couldn’t bring myself to introduce Kaoru.

And doing nothing was the worst possible choice.

If I refused completely, I was sure he’d send his brother after me first——And then go after both Kaoru and Hirosaki-san anyway.

If that’s how it’s going to turn out, I thought it would be better to introduce him to Hiroshiki-san as he had asked and satisfy him.

That way I wouldn’t have to be sent to the hospital either… That’s the best outcome…

With that in mind, I tried to talk to Hiroshiki-san many times today, but every time, the words caught in my throat at the last second, and I ended up covering it up with casual conversation.

Even though I had already decided on Hirosaki-san, the guilt was unbearable, and I just couldn’t say it.

——And so I went home after school.

I wasn’t in the mood to go home with anyone today, so I went home alone.

“I couldn’t say anything after all…”

Right now, introducing Hirosaki-san still feels like the best choice.

And no matter how much time passes, I don’t think that feeling will change… After all, the time I spent with Kaoru and Hiroshiki-san are different.

I feel bad for Hiroshiki-san, but I guess I’ll just have to wait for the right opportunity and ask her out… There’s also the possibility that Miyazato really just wants to hang out…

At that moment, I got a LINE notification.

I checked the message and I couldn’t believe my eyes.

[You don’t need to introduce them to me anymore. And I won’t have anything to do with you from now on]

I didn’t understand what that message meant so I tried contacting him back and calling him, but apparently I was already blocked.

“What on earth happened?”

No, that’s not important!

“I don’t really get it, but I’m saved!”

Now Kaoru and Hiroshiki-san are saved and I won’t have to suffer any more.

If he’s even blocked me, there must be something wrong.

I really don’t understand why, but this is great.

I won’t have to worry about Miyazato anymore.

“I’m so glad…”

I like both Kaoru and Hiroshiki-san, so I’m just glad they’re safe.

Also, I’ve started talking to Minamikawa-san recently and I’ve started to like her.

Well, I’ve always thought she was cute.

“Now I can finally hang out with all three of them in peace.”

As I thought this, I went to sleep feeling relieved, since I hadn’t slept enough the night before.

Feeling relieved, and still exhausted from last night’s lack of sleep, I drifted off to sleep peacefully.

T/N: Dem, his way of thinking is kinda rational, better to save one than none, but still… That shouldn’t be the mindset of an eroge protagonist!
