I Reincarnated as the Villain Who Bullies the Protagonist in an Erotic Game, but I Just Want to Stay a Nobody, Yet Somehow the Heroines Keep Obsessing Over Me - Episode 24: Strategy Meeting

Episode 24: Strategy Meeting

During lunch break, Narita, Sasaki, and I gathered by the usual stairs. As we ate our lunch, we discussed the Saitou issue.

“So, when are we going to do this?” Narita asked.

“Hmm… the sooner, the better. We don’t know what he’ll do next,” I replied.

“In that case, how about tomorrow?” Sasaki suggested.

“Tomorrow? It’s a bit sudden, but that might actually be better,” I agreed.

Narita nodded. Well, it’s true that sooner is better… but tomorrow? It feels so rushed, and it’s making me a little nervous.

“So, we’ll record the conversation and also film it, right?” Sasaki asked.

“Yep, exactly. Having witnesses will make the evidence stronger,” I confirmed.

“Got it. It’s a pretty crazy turn of events, huh? I was really shocked when I saw the post on the bulletin board yesterday.”

“I was surprised too when I saw it this morning. I never expected he’d move this quickly,” Narita added.

“Yeah, me too. I had been thinking about different ways to handle this, but they all seemed like they’d take time. I think we should settle this quickly,” Sasaki said.

“Something that would take time… Oh, you mean setting up cameras for surveillance?” I guessed.

“No, not exactly… but it’s a secret,” Sasaki replied with a mischievous wink.

Sasaki then made a “shh” gesture, and it suited her perfectly—being such a beautiful girl, it looked almost alluring.

Wait, what do you mean “secret”?

“Secret, huh… Well, let’s talk to Saitou during tomorrow’s lunch break. That’ll give us enough time. It’s not like there won’t be any people around, so we can make sure the audio doesn’t look like we threatened him. As for the location…” I thought for a moment.

“How about behind the gym? It’s usually pretty quiet there,” Narita suggested.

“Yeah, that works. Alright, let’s gather there first. Then we’ll have Saitou and Kaede come to meet us.”

“Sounds good. That’s the best plan,” Sasaki agreed.

By the time we finalized the plan, the bell signaling the end of lunch break rang.

“Well, we’ll just have to wing it,” I said.

“Let’s hope it works,” Narita added.

After all, my life might depend on this.

When I returned to the classroom, I spotted a distinctive hair color in front of the door—a pearl white, rare even in this world.

My body froze in an instant. No way…

“N-n-nishikouji…kun, I mean, san. Uh, the person looking for you… is… right there…”

“I see. Thank you,” she replied.

“N-no, it’s nothing,” the kind classmate who pointed her out said before quickly walking away.

She looked a little scared, which caught me off guard.

Still feeling the shock of her excessive reaction, I slowly walked forward. I really didn’t want to meet her. I didn’t want to meet her, but…

“Ah, um…!”

Just in front of the classroom door, I was stopped and had to halt my steps.

“Yes?”

“I’m the one you helped on the morning of the entrance ceremony. I was wondering if we could talk for a moment. Could we meet somewhere after school?”
