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 - Chapter 145

A few minutes later…

“Phew, we finally made it, but as expected, the theater is crowded. Well, it is Saturday, so I guess that can’t be helped.”

So, we arrived at our destination, the movie theater, but the inside was already bustling with people.

“Yes, that’s right. Well, it’s also a newly released film, so it’s only natural that there are so many people.”

“That’s true. But with this many people, I’m glad that we had reserved the tickets in advance. Alright, let’s head to the ticket machine and get our tickets for today.”

“Okay, got it.”

With that said, we headed toward the ticket machine. Since we had already purchased our tickets a few days ago, all that was left was to print them.

“Alright, all done. Here, this is today’s movie ticket.”

“Thanks. I’m really glad you made the reservation and bought the tickets beforehand.”

“Haha, it’s nothing.”

I handed Yukimura her ticket, and for some reason, I started looking around the theater.

“Hmm, as expected… well, I had a feeling, but most of the people here seem to be couples.”

“Huh? Ah, yeah, it seems that way…”

It was probably because it was a romantic movie, but it seemed like most of the people in the theater were couples.

Seeing this, Yukimura looked a bit nervous.

(Well, that makes sense.)

When you think about it, coming to a place filled with couples alone with a guy from your class would naturally make Yukimura nervous. If I were in high school in this situation, I’d definitely be nervous too.

But instead of teasing Yukimura for being nervous, I pretended not to notice. If I were Yukimura, I’d probably be hoping no one noticed my nervousness.

So, I decided to ignore Yukimura’s nervousness for now and continued looking around the theater. About 70% of the crowd seemed to be couples, and the remaining 30% were groups of friends.

(Hmm, it was the right call to quit the flashy blond hair and piercings.)

If I’d come to a place filled with so many couples looking like a delinquent, I would’ve stood out too much. Plus, I probably would’ve scared a lot of people.

Causing trouble for all these ordinary people would’ve been completely inappropriate as a serious high school student. So, I felt relieved that I hadn’t caused any problems.

(Alright, is Yukimura doing better now?)

After a little time had passed, I turned to look at Yukimura.

She still seemed a little nervous, but she looked much more relaxed than before. So, with a smile, I said to her,

“Alright, we still have a little time, so how about we get something to drink?”

“Huh? Oh, yeah, sure. We might as well.”

“Okay, let’s head to the concession stand.”

“Yeah.”

With Yukimura now more relaxed, we made our way to the concession stand.

“Welcome. What would you like to order?”

“Um, I’ll have an iced milk tea, please.”

“I’ll have the same.”

“Alright, that will be 1,200 yen in total.”

“Oh, okay. Um…”

“I’ll pay for it all. Excuse me, I’ll pay with e-money.”

“Huh? Oh, um, thanks, Kuzuhara-kun.”

I stopped Yukimura from taking her wallet out of her bag and paid with my e-money.

“Payment completed. Here are your drinks. Please enjoy.”

“Thank you.”

With that, I took the tray holding two paper cups, and we left the concession stand.

“Sorry for taking so long to get my wallet out. And thanks for paying for everything, Kuzuhara-kun.”

“It’s no problem at all. Don’t worry about it.”

“I’m really grateful. So, let me pay you back now for the movie ticket and the drinks. How much is it in total?”

“Hmm? Oh—”

Ding-dong, ding-dong

“The movie at Theater 12 will be starting shortly. If you have a ticket…”

“Ah, looks like the movie is about to start. We don’t want to be late, so let’s get inside the theater quickly.”

“Yes, you’re right. Let’s settle up after the movie.”

“Alright, let’s go.”

We handed our tickets to the staff at the theater room entrance and walked inside.

Then, we headed toward Theater 12, walking quickly.

“Okay, Theater 12 should be straight down that way.”

“Yeah, I see it. Got it.”

Yukimura went ahead and entered Theater 12. I followed behind her.

“Wait, hold on… I should grab this too.”

Right before I entered the theater, I noticed they had blankets for moviegoers, so I picked one up and followed Yukimura.

“Phew, I’m glad we made it on time.”

“Yeah, me too. Here, Yukimura, here’s your iced tea. And also, you can use this if you’d like.”

“Huh? Oh…”

I handed Yukimura her iced tea and the blanket I had picked up earlier.

“This… is this something you can borrow from the theater?”

“Yeah, it’s a rental blanket. Even with the air conditioning, it might get cold, so use this if you feel chilly.”

“Oh… um, thank you.”

Yukimura’s face turned a little red as she thanked me for the blanket.

“Haha, it’s nothing.”

I smiled gently at Yukimura’s blushing face, and then we both sat down and waited eagerly for the movie to start.

Alright, time to enjoy the movie.
