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

It was lunchtime.

After finishing lunch with Kuzuhara-kun, we were heading back to the classroom from the rooftop when…

“Oh, that’s right. I… I need to go to the restroom for a bit, so you can go ahead to the classroom.”

“Hm? Oh, okay. I’ll head back first then.”

“Y-Yes, got it. S-See you later.”

“Yeah, see you.”

With that, I parted ways with Kuzuhara-kun in front of the restroom. But instead of going in right away, I watched him walk toward the classroom from behind.

Once Kuzuhara-kun disappeared from view down the hallway, I hurried into the restroom, making sure no one else was inside.

As expected, I was the only one there. Well, it makes sense since the warning bell had already rung.

After confirming that no one else was around, I stood by the sink and…

“W-What?! Wh-What was with that invitation just now?!”

I shouted that out loud while standing in front of the sink.

I then checked my reflection in the mirror. My face had turned bright red.

“W-Why is my face so red?! Wh-What should I do… I can’t go back to the classroom like this…”

I muttered to myself, pressing my hands against my cheeks. My face was completely flushed.

When Kuzuhara-kun made that suggestion earlier, I was so surprised that I couldn’t react properly and just kept a blank expression, but… deep down, I was still incredibly shocked.

But it’s not my fault. This is the first time I’ve been asked out to hang out alone with a boy besides Hiro…

“Huh? But why am I so much more nervous with Kuzuhara-kun than I am with Hiro…?”

I started to wonder. After all, I never get nervous when I’m alone with Hiro… But the thought of hanging out alone with Kuzuhara-kun made me incredibly anxious.

Logically, Hiro and Kuzuhara-kun are both boys my age, right? And both are good friends of mine. So in terms of being same-age male friends, they should be the same to me.

And yet, imagining going out alone with Hiro doesn’t faze me, but thinking about going out alone with Kuzuhara-kun makes me so nervous…

“Hmm… What is this difference in feelings between Hiro and Kuzuhara-kun?”

I wanted to think more deeply about the reason, but if I don’t get back to the classroom soon, class will start. So for now, I decided to put off thinking about the difference in my feelings for the two of them…

“Oh, but… Wh-What should I do? Now that I think about it, what should I wear…?”

But then, another concern popped into my mind. Yes, it was about what to wear when I go to the movies with Kuzuhara-kun.

I don’t know what Kuzuhara-kun was thinking when he invited me to the movies… but when a boy and a girl our age go to see a romance movie alone together, it feels like it could be considered a ‘date’ by society…

So, if that’s the case… I-I guess I should at least put some thought into my outfit, right? It’s totally different from going to a family restaurant alone with Hiro. I’m going to see a romance movie alone with a boy, you know?

So, even I know it would be totally wrong to just wear casual clothes like I do when I go to a family restaurant with Hiro. But…

“Hmm… No, but seriously… What kind of clothes does Kuzuhara-kun like on a girl…?”

I started worrying about that. What kind of clothes does Kuzuhara-kun like on a girl?

Well, a little while ago, I did say in front of Kuzuhara-kun and Ayako-san that I would start living life on my own terms… but this is different.

I mean, if I’m going to be alone with him, I don’t want to just wear something I like—I want to wear something he likes. It’s only natural for a girl to think that way. But I don’t know what kind of clothes Kuzuhara-kun likes…

Recently, I’ve talked a lot with Kuzuhara-kun. We’ve talked about our favorite foods, books, family, club activities… all sorts of things. But we’ve never talked about what kind of clothes we like…

“Hmm… Does Kuzuhara-kun like simple clothes? Or does he prefer girly things like skirts or fluffy dresses? Or maybe he likes more mature outfits?”

I kept thinking about it. But no matter how much I think about it, the only way to find out what kind of clothes Kuzuhara-kun likes is to ask him directly.

Oh, but come to think of it, when I showed him a slightly mature knit dress before, he said it looked good on me… but that was probably just a compliment…

“Hmm… Is there any way to find out what kind of clothes Kuzuhara-kun likes without asking him directly…?”

Before I knew it, I was getting lost in thought again. Hmm, but is there really no way to find out what kind of clothes Kuzuhara-kun likes on a girl without asking him directly?

— *Ding dong, ding dong…*

As I was thinking about that, the second bell rang. If I don’t hurry, class will start…!

“Oh no…! I can’t stay in the restroom any longer!”

So, I decided to put all those thoughts on hold and hurried back to the classroom.

Well, there’s still a little time before the movie comes out, so I guess I can think more about these things without rushing.
