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 47: The Morning When Kanai Wakes Me Up

Episode 47: The Morning When Kanai Wakes Me Up

“Good morning, Nishikikouji-kun~” A whisper in my ear gradually pulls me into a semi-conscious state. Is this a dream? It has to be a dream, right? Because there’s no way Kana would be here in this world…

“Ugh, you’re not waking up at all, Nishikikouji-kun. If you don’t wake up soon, I might just sleep next to you~”

Sleep next to me? If it’s Kanai, I’d welcome it with open arms… I might even ask for it myself. Thinking about that, I still kept my eyes closed. After all, this world has to be a dream…

“You’re not waking up, huh? What should I do? Eh, but I was just joking before… You didn’t hear me, right? You’re probably in a deep sleep anyway.”

I hear her nodding to herself. What’s going on? Is she going to sleep next to me? What a convenient dream this is.

“Okay, here I go! Hup!” Suddenly, something soft and warm slips into the blanket.

“Whoa, it really happened! It really happened!” A panicked voice. Wait, this feels too real to be a dream. Could it be…?

“Hehehe, it’s just too nice to have someone next to me in the morning. So this is what it feels like with Nishikikouji-kun~ Hehehe.”

The breath on my back tickles, and I turn over. Slowly, I open my eyes.

“Huh!?” Kana lets out a light scream, and I fully wake up. “Kana…?” “Ha! You said my name… No, I mean, good morning!”

“Good morning. Ah, no, sorry, Sasaki.” I quickly correct myself when I realize the mistake I made. I’ve been calling her Kanai in my head for so long that it just slipped out.

So now, what do I do…? While I panic, Kanai looks at me with an unhappy expression.

“Why did you go back to calling me by my last name?” “S-sorry? I thought calling you by your first name would be weird.”

“It’s not weird at all! I mean, we’re classmates, right? It’s… well, normal, I guess…”

“Normal!?” Wow, the world of the popular kids is something else.

“It’s not normal… But, um… since we’ve become close, why don’t we call each other by our first names when we’re at home?”

“Ah, I see. That makes sense. Let’s do that.” I agree, but I’m still a bit confused. The boldness of popular kids is unbelievable.

“Also, the only reason I’m here right now is because you wouldn’t wake up, Nishikikouji-kun. So it’s your fault.”

“Eh, really…?” “Geez, it’s nothing like that! Anyway, I’m going to wait in the living room, so come have breakfast when you’re ready.”

With that, Kana, her face red, quickly leaves the room. She was the one who crawled in, yet now she’s embarrassed. I guess her flustered behavior earlier was just to cover that up.

“…That was like a whirlwind.” What in the world just happened? When I get to the living room, a pleasant smell fills the air.

“Ah, you’re fully awake now, Nishikikouji-kun. Good morning~” Kana smiles as she peeks into my face.

“Good morning.” “I borrowed an apron without asking~! Oh, and for breakfast, there’s rice, scrambled eggs, and miso soup. I’ll bring it to you once you wash your face and brush your teeth.”

“Uh, okay.” She pushes me back, guiding me to the bathroom.

…What should I say? Seeing Kanai wearing an apron made her look like a newlywed… Wait, what am I even thinking!?

To clear my mind, I wash my face. By the way, there’s one other distraction in my mind, and that’s Kana in the game world. In that world, Kana was a yandere character who would go all out, but she never did anything like this. 

In fact… we were just constantly doing that at home. So, yeah, that’s the other distraction. After the shocking events of yesterday, I couldn’t help but think back to the sweet, loving moments from the game.

“Forget it, forget it…” The Kana here is different from the Kanai in the game.

After hearing about what happened yesterday, I realized she’s a much more delicate and hardworking girl than I initially thought.

“Sigh…” I let out a sigh while looking at the bags under my eyes. Taking a deep breath, I head to the living room.

“Welcome back! Let’s have breakfast now, okay?” Kana, her eyes a little swollen from crying yesterday but with a big smile, greets me warmly.
