I Reincarnated as the Villain of an NTR Game, But I Don't Want to Make the Main Heroine Unhappy so I'll Live Earnestly

A few hours later.

“Okay, by substituting the x we found earlier into this equation…”

— Scratch, scratch…

So, on the second day of my reincarnation, I was diligently attending classes. Right now, it’s math class.

(Haha, high school math is nostalgic and fun.)

Before reincarnation, I was a science major in college, so I can generally understand high school science subjects just by listening to the lessons. But the problem is the humanities; I don’t remember anything from social studies or geography classes…

(…Well, I guess I have to work hard on humanities from now on.)

I declared that I would become a serious person, so I have to study properly… Wait, when are the exams at this school?

I hurriedly searched through Kuzuma’s fragmented memories. It seems that this school has midterm exams every year in mid-October.

(Um, it’s mid-September now, so that means there’s less than a month until the midterm exams?)

…Wait a minute. Isn’t the time actually quite short? I can probably handle the science subjects with just a quick review, but finishing all the humanities and English test preparations within a month… That’s too harsh.

(Besides, this guy Kuzuma has a lot of part-time jobs, right? Finding time to study is going to be tough…)

This month, I’m working part-time 4 to 5 days a week, so it doesn’t seem like I’ll have much time to study. Seriously, I absolutely have to cut back on my part-time jobs starting next month…!

(Even if I can secure study time from next month, how should I study humanities and English?)

As a college student, I’ve always studied science subjects, so I can handle high school-level exams on my own. But I’ve almost completely forgotten how to study high school humanities and English…

(Hmm, I need to come up with a plan for that as well…)

So, while thinking about the test preparations for next month, I enjoyed the nostalgic high school math class for now.

A few hours passed, and now it’s lunchtime.

“Yawn… Phew, I’m tired again today.”

I lay down on a bench behind the gym and ate my lunch; a sweet bread.

Well, I could have eaten lunch in the classroom, but… my classmates are generally scared of me or dislike me. Well, that’s because I’m a delinquent, of course.

And if a delinquent like me stays in the classroom during lunch, it wouldn’t be relaxing for everyone else eating there. So, I deliberately left the classroom and ate my lunch alone in this remote place.

“Well, anyway… I have a lot to think about from now on.”

While munching on my sweet bread, I started thinking about my future plans.

The first thing I need to think about is my part-time job. Kuzuma works part-time 4 to 5 days a week, which is quite tough. By the way, my next part-time job is tomorrow at the convenience store.

“Ha, even though I decided to aim to be a serious high school student, at this rate I’ll just end up being a workaholic.”

Well, regarding the work shifts I put in this month, I can’t do anything about it. But starting next month, I’ll reduce my part-time work significantly. If I don’t, I won’t be able to study at all, and I also want to make sure I have some time with Yuuna.

“…No, actually, when I think about it, spending time with Yuuna is way more important to me than studying.”

So from next month, I’ll basically work only on weekends and make sure to spend time with Yuuna on weekdays. At the very least, I want to have dinner with Yuuna every day.

“…Wait, if that’s the case, shouldn’t I just quit the job altogether?”

When I think about it, do I really need to work so hard at a part-time job? The reason Kuzuma took so many shifts was because he wanted money to hang out late every night.

But I’m not planning to play around like Kuzuma. So maybe quitting the job and becoming a serious high school student isn’t such a bad idea?

“Hmm, that does sound like an option… But, well…”

However, since our dad is not around, the reason Yuuna and I can live our lives now is entirely thanks to our mom, who works late every night.

And relying almost entirely on our mom, who works so hard every night, for all of Yuuna’s and my living expenses… it just feels so wrong.

If I said something like this to my mom, she’d probably get angry and say, “Don’t act all grown up, you’re just a kid.” But in reality, I’m a college student over twenty years old.

“…Alright, at least I’ll make sure to earn our food expenses myself.”

So from now on, I’ll continue working not for play money, but to cover the food expenses for Yuuna and me.

And in case something happens to Mom, it’s better to save some money. If it were just me, I wouldn’t care about not having money. I could manage somehow… But I don’t want Yuuna to suffer because of a lack of money.

“Alright, then, I’ll do my best to become a serious person!”

There are still many things to consider, like myself, Yuuna, and Yukimura the heroine, but I’ve decided to work hard and aim to be a serious high school student from now on.
