I Was Reincarnated as a Stepping-Stone Character in an Eroge, and by Breaking the Heroines’ NTR Flags in Place of the Protagonist, They Ended Up Falling for Me - Chapter 22 - Sasaki Yuuma 4

Chapter 22 – Sasaki Yuuma 4

“Huh?”

As I was heading towards the student council room, I saw Tsukishima Reika and Kohinata Mayu walking side by side, having a friendly conversation.

Huh? Did they…make up? How?

And when did they do that? There was no sign of that happening until this morning?!

“Ishibashi!”

“…It seems like you two have made up. Well, not that it matters to me.”

Ishibashi, Reika, and Mayu were having a friendly conversation about something.

Huh? Could Ishibashi have been involved in Reika and Mayu’s reconciliation this time?

Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!! What the hell is this?! This isn’t how it’s supposed to go! Are you kidding me?!

Seething with anger, I scratched my head furiously. But even that wasn’t enough to quell my frustration.

Huff! Huff! …No, calm down. Take a deep breath. Fuh… fuuuuu…

Now that I think about it, Ishibashi was there during the Kuzushima incident too.

No, in this game, Ishibashi is just a supporting character to the main character (me), no matter what.

There’s no way he could alter the game’s storyline.

Unless… Ishibashi Tsuyoshi is, like me, a reincarnated person, and has intervened to change the game’s story?

It’s not impossible…and if that’s the case, he’s an incredibly troublesome and unwelcome obstacle.

That said, even if I go against him head-on, there’s no way I could beat Ishibashi Tsuyoshi who has the strongest specs.

And if I acted to tarnish Ishibashi’s reputation among the heroines, I might end up in a situation like what happened with Hinano-chan.

…In the story, his earliest fall to ruin was the day of the closing ceremony.

It’s not impossible for things to align with the original story by then.

Either way, for now I just have to wait for my chance without making any rash moves…

Ahh!! Shit! Shit! Shit! I’m so damn pissed! Ishibashi, of all people! He’s just a sidekick! A stepping stone for me!! How dare he!!

Consumed by rage, I kicked a trash can as hard as I could before storming away.

T/N: Pretty good deduction… He’s the protagonist of the game, but not the main character of this novel, dem…
