Chapter 13 – Sasaki Yuuma 2
The morning after I advised Kuzushima to spread nasty rumors about Ishibashi Tsuyoshi throughout the school.
When I got to school, the rumors about Ishibashi had spread, and the whole school’s impression of Ishibashi was devastating.
A few days later, Ishibashi assaulted Kuzushima and was suspended.
It was probably because of the rumors that Kuzushima had spread that Ishibashi lost his temper and became violent.
What an idiot. The real mastermind behind the rumors is me, after all.
It turned out just as planned… No, it’s even better than I had planned.
Serves him right. This is what happens when you use me, the protagonist, as a stepping stone, even though you’re just a throwaway character.
“See you tomorrow, Sasaki-kun.”
As I was smiling in my heart, my favorite character, Sakurai Hinano-chan, called out to me.
Sakura Hinano-chan is a classmate of mine, Sasaki Yuuma, the protagonist, and also serves as a helpful character.
In the game, she teaches the protagonist various things, such as the likeability levels of each heroine and recommended actions.
However, she is terrible at managing the NTR events, and following her advice will often result in a bad NTR ending.
Her route can be unlocked by completing the Tsukishima Reika Route and Kohinata Mayu Route.
She’s truly the true heroine.
And she is also Ishibashi Tsuyoshi’s servant.
Perhaps because of this, even when rumors about Ishibashi spread on Kuzushima, Hinano-chan was the only one who protected Ishibashi.
I don’t like the setting alone of him being Hinano-chan’s master, but for Hinano-chan to protect him so much just because he’s her master… Ishibashi really gets under my skin.
“Oh, by the way, Ishibashi-kun… I heard he got suspended for attacking Kuzushima-senpai.”
“Uh, Sasaki-kun, there’s actually more to that story…”
“You don’t have to defend him. Everyone in the class… no, not just the class. Every student and even the teachers in the school think that Ishibashi-kun is a troublemaker.”
“That’s not…”
“When the rumors about Ishibashi-kun started spreading, didn’t you tell me you wanted me to be the one to support him? But it’s impossible. Ishibashi-kun got angry at the senior who spread rumors about him and used violence. That’s an undeniable fact.”
“That’s a misunderstanding! Master was only trying to protect Tsukishima-san——”
“Ishibashi-kun is trying to deceive Sakurai-san. He’s pretending to sacrifice himself, and trying to get Sakurai-san’s sympathy by playing the victim… Don’t be fooled.”
With this, Hinano-chan will have given up on Ishibashi completely. Then Ishibashi Tsuyoshi will be kicked out of the Ishibashi family and Hinano-chan and I will be together.
“I’m worried… about you, Hinano-chan.”
“I know… Master is that kind of person…”
Thank goodness. Seems like she understands.
“He knew this would happen, but he always put himself second… That’s why everyone hates Master… I have to be by his side and support him.”
“…Uh, hey! If you’re free after this, do you want to go grab that crepe we talked about before? I’ve been curious, but, you know, it feels kind of awkward for a guy to go alone to a crepe place…”
“Sorry! I’ve got something important to take care of!”
“Oh, uh, r-right. Got it… Um, well, then——”
“First, I’ll stuff clothes into a suitcase… Oh, and I need to call movers to handle the furniture…!! If I use the company the Ishibashi family works with, then… Oh, and I have to look up the address right away…!”
“Uh… Sakura-san? Are you listening?”
“I’m going home!!”
“Eh, ah, huh?”
Muttering something to herself, Hinano-chan ran out of the classroom without even looking at me…
………
………………
………Well, I achieved my original goal, so that’s fine.
…She was muttering about moving furniture and calling movers. Is she planning to move somewhere?
Well, whatever… With this, there’s no longer any obstacle to the ‘Sakurai Hinano Route’.
Or so I thought…
