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 146

A few hours later.

In the theater after the movie finished, I stood up, feeling excited, and started talking to Yukimura.

“Wow… that was really amazing! The way they adapted the novel was so good, I was a bit moved!”

“Yeah, yeah, exactly! And not only did they faithfully recreate the novel, but they also added extra psychological portrayals of the characters, which perfectly supplemented the story. That was really great too!”

“Ah, I felt the same way! Honestly, when I was reading the novel, I wanted them to write more about the characters’ feelings and emotions… So seeing those portrayed in the movie made me really happy!”

“Hehe, I see, I see. I’m so glad you enjoyed it so much… Oh, by the way, thanks for bringing the blanket. It was a bit chilly, so it really helped.”

“Hm? Ah, I’m glad it helped.”

Yukimura blushed a little as she expressed her gratitude, and I responded with a smile.

“Well, we should probably get going before we get in the way of the cleaning staff.”

“Ah, yes, you’re right. Let’s head back to the reception desk quickly.”

“Yeah, got it.”

So, we handed our paper cups and blanket to the movie theater staff and left the theater room.

Back in the theater’s reception hall, we started talking again about the movie we just watched.

“Wow, it was really amazing, wasn’t it? And watching it on the big screen in the theater was so powerful. Plus, watching a movie gives a different experience compared to reading a novel, which made it really fun!”

“Yeah, I agree. Watching it as a movie helped me understand the story on a deeper level. Also, the actors were perfect for their roles, and the recreation was unbelievably accurate. I might have never been this moved by a novel adaptation before.”

“Yeah, I think it probably ranks in my top three favorite movies I’ve seen so far! Hehe, but when something is this good, you want to watch it again… Ahh, I hope it gets added to the streaming site soon!”

Yukimura said that with a happy expression.

“Heh, so Yukimura’s the type to want to rewatch movies she likes?”

“Yes, I suppose so. But it’s not just movies—if I find something interesting, whether it’s a drama or a novel, I want to rewatch or reread it. It’s fun to discover new things each time.”

“Ah, I see. Now that I think about it, you mentioned something like that before.”

Yeah, she did say something like that before. She told me that rereading novels is fun and recommended it to me.

“Yes, that’s right. What about you? Do you rewatch your favorite movies or dramas?”

“Hmm… I guess I’m the type to feel satisfied after watching something once. So, I don’t really rewatch movies or dramas that much.”

“Is that so? Well, I think rewatching visual works is interesting because you can find new things. If you like, you should try it sometime.”

“Haha, I see. Well then, I want to try it right away… So, how about we watch this movie together again?”

“…Huh? W-Well, I’d be happy to watch it again since I do want to see it one more time… But you’re not usually the type to rewatch things, right? Did you really find this movie so interesting that you suddenly want to try?”

“Yeah, I did think the movie was interesting, but honestly, I just want to go out with you like this again. And not just for movies… from now on, I want to go to more places with you, just the two of us.”

“What? Ah, um…”

When I said that with a smile, Yukimura blushed deeply and looked down.

“Uh, um… saying something so embarrassing to my face… Emphasizing ‘just the two of us’ so many times…”

“I didn’t think I said anything that embarrassing. I was just saying what I truly felt.”

“T-That’s why! If you say things like that… uh, people might get the wrong idea, so you shouldn’t say it so much! S-So, you should save that kind of thing for the girl you like!”

“Hm? Ah, I see… that’s what you meant.”

Yukimura said that; her face was slightly red. It seemed like she didn’t understand the intention behind my words.

Well, I guess that makes sense. The main characters in the original story were both pretty clueless when it came to romance. So even if I hinted at my feelings indirectly, Yukimura probably wouldn’t notice…

(And not telling Yukimura directly about how I feel is pretty lame of me.)

It’s never good to lie about your feelings, and it’s not manly to avoid expressing them openly, even when you’re in love. So, I…

“…Oh, right! I need to pay you back! Let me cover the movie and juice from earlier. Um… How much was it again?”

“Hm? Ah, no, it’s fine. I’ll cover everything today, so don’t worry about it, Yukimura.”

“Huh? F-Fine? N-No, that’s not right. I have to pay you back, so tell me how much.”

“Haha, really, it’s fine. Because today… I came here thinking of it as a date with you.”

“Huh…?”

“So, let me pay for everything today, okay? At least let me cover the first date.”

“Huh… w-wait!? D-D-Date!?”

When I said that, Yukimura’s face turned bright red.

“W-W-Wha-What are you talking about!? What… what do you mean by that…?”

Yukimura asked me, her face burning red, wanting to know the meaning behind my words. So I…

“I like you.”

“…What?”

“I like you, Yukimura.”

So, I told Yukimura, looking at her seriously.

It was just a few simple words, but they carried my honest feelings without any lies, and I conveyed them to Yukimura.
