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 39 - "Tsuyoshi-Kun. Let’s...do It?"

Chapter 39 – “Tsuyoshi-Kun. Let’s…do It?”

“……”

“……”

In the evening, Hinano and I sat across the table in silence.

Right now, I’m trying to complete the big job that was thrust upon me yesterday.

That is… To cheer up Sakurai Hinano.

Sakurai Hinano… Although she’s smiling brightly right now, she’s extremely angry. I could see a demon behind her.

I’ve never seen Hinano in such a bad mood before. Was staying at Reika’s house such a bad thing?

I handed her the wrapped box.

Hinano was silent. She nodded gravely and opened the box.

“Oh? This is… a limited-edition tart from Quillfeuille, isn’t it?”

“…You said you wanted to try it before, didn’t you?”

“…Hmm, it’s good that you remember such a small thing. So, what else?”

S-so this wasn’t enough for you… Usually this would cheer her up…

But it’s no problem. This was within my expectation.

Silently, I slid over my next offering. A ticket.

“Is this…a ticket for a beauty treatment?”

“Yeah, I just wanted to relieve Hinano’s fatigue from always doing so much for me…”

Hinano nodded, understandingly.

“Good. It seems you know that very well. Being a servant is very hard work… So, what else?”

Seriously… This didn’t work either. At this point, I guess I’ll have to use the ultimate weapon taught to me by Chiaki.

“…This is a pair of tickets to an aquarium?”

My final offering was tickets to the aquarium.

“If you don’t mind, would you like to come with me?”

Chiaki said this would cheer her up, but is this really okay? This girl definitely has no interest in an aquarium.

I think she’d be happier if I took her to a conveyor belt sushi restaurant…

“…Is this an invitation for a date?”

I wonder? I swallowed the words I was about to say.

“That’s right… An invitation for a date.”

I nodded at Hinano’s words.

I didn’t know why, but I felt that I absolutely couldn’t say no there.

“Hmm? Well, if I refused here, it would be a disservice to Master, right? Well, I guess there’s no other choice… I’ll go with Master to the aquarium.”

Hinano was suddenly in a good mood and waved the pair’s tickets.

“If you don’t want to go, you can just refuse.”

“What? I never said no. I’ll kill you.”

“Ah, I’m sorry…”

Scary…

“Honestly, it’s exactly things like this about you… Anyway, I’ll start preparing dinner, so please heat up the bath.”

Saying this, Hinano stood up and headed for the kitchen.

Huh? Maybe she’s forgiven me…?

C-Chiaki’s amazing…!!

Just as you’d expect from a former freeloader. Chiaki completely understands women’s hearts.

Honestly, I don’t know why going to the aquarium cheered Hinano up, but I’ll just go with the flow.

After dinner, I was washing the dishes. Next to me, Hinano was wiping the dishes I had washed.

“Master, please go ahead and take a bath first today.”

“Oh, that’s unusual. Usually you want to be the first to take a bath.”

“…Today I need to get a few things ready.”

As I handed her the last of the dishes, I was skeptical, seeing her somewhat serious profile.

“Hmm? Well then, I’ll go in first.”

“Yes, enjoy~”

Feeling uneasy about Hinano’s unusual behavior, I went into the bath.

After getting out of the bath, I was lying on my futon. Waiting for the drowsiness to kick in, I played with my smartphone when I heard a knock on the door.

“Master…? You’re still awake, aren’t you? Can I come in?”

“Yeah…”

As I was replying while looking at my smartphone, the room suddenly got dark.

The faint moonlight made it not entirely pitch black, but the abrupt darkness still startled me enough to drop my phone.

“Hey Hinano. Why did you suddenly turn off the lights…?”

“……”

The person standing in front of the door wasn’t Hinano in her usual tracksuit pajamas.

She was wearing a white one-piece pajama. I wonder if it’s called a negligee, as it had a design that emphasized her chest, which was captivating my eyes. Hinano’s cheeks were red, maybe because she’d just gotten out of the bath?

My body froze involuntarily at the sight of Hinano, who looked different from usual.

“Can I sit next to you?”

“Ah, yeah…”

After getting my permission, she sneaked into my futon. And for some reason, she pressed her body against mine.

“What’s the matter? Ah, is that it? Are you going to sleep with me again? Sorry, but not today.”

“No, that’s not it.”

As she said that, Hinano buried her face in my chest. At that moment, I felt her soft touch and sweet scent.

Hinano spoke to me, as I was frozen, unable to grasp the situation.

“Master, you told me before…that if something bad happens, you’d help me no matter what, so I shouldn’t hold back.”

Those were the words I had once told her.

“…Actually, I have a congenital heart disease.”

I couldn’t help but look at Hinano’s expression when I heard her say that.

It didn’t look like she was joking.

I know very well the emotions that come from that expression.

The despair of someone who’s giving up on living, on the future.

What the hell is going on? Hinano in the game shouldn’t have had that kind of setting. Just like the setting of Ishibashi Tsuyoshi being Hinano’s childhood friend. There are so many settings about her that I don’t know about.

…No, maybe this was simply something the protagonist, Sasaki Yuuma, never saw from his perspective.

Now that I think about it, I read a rumor on the internet or somewhere that there are several backstories in “Ama x Kiss.”

“Today, at my monthly checkup, I was told that even with life-prolonging treatment, I only have about six months left to live. At this rate, it looks like I won’t be able to continue my studies.”

Hinano said with a troubled smile.

She probably hasn’t found a donor yet. That’s why she’s asking me for help.

“I don’t want to die yet… Please help me.”

Her eyes were fluctuating, with hope and anxiety.

She looked at me with a mature smile, and before I could speak, she started talking.

“If only you were as awful as the rumors said, Master. Then I could just say, ‘Give me your heart.’”

She spoke lightly, intentionally keeping a casual tone.

“I know… I know how ridiculous this all sounds. I know there’s nothing Master can do about this.”

Hinano sat up, pressing down on my legs as she lowered herself onto my lap.

“So I wanted to ask Master for ‘something else’ instead.”

Hinano leaned close to me, pressing her body against mine shyly.

Her ample breasts were now right in front of me.

I instinctively tried to look away, but Hinano wrapped her arms around my neck from behind as if to say she wouldn’t let me go, pulling me closer.

“I’ll give you everything——my first time, all of it. So…”

Hinano said, so close to me that I could feel her breath.

“Tsuyoshi-kun. Let’s…do it?”

T/N: Dem, the same illness that took MC’s previous life… Then she’s coming onto him like a cat in heat.
