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 7 - Sasaki Yuuma 1

Chapter 7 – Sasaki Yuuma 1

I’ve been reincarnated as the protagonist of an erotic game.

No, this is not the common title of a light novel or a web novel, it’s the situation I’m in right now.

I’ve become Sasaki Yuuma, the protagonist of “Ama x Kiss”.

I was a shut-in, and after I got hit by a car when going outside… and the next thing I knew, I found myself like this.

I’m a veteran of “Ama x Kiss”, having conquered all the routes. With my knowledge of the game, even the harem route is possible…!!

“No, stop it!”

I heard a girl scream nearby.

I hid and looked to see what was going on, and it seemed like the heroine, Tsukishima Reika, and Kuzushima were arguing about something.

No, more than arguing, it seemed like she was about to get dragged away.

This is… I’m pretty sure it’s the very first NTR event that occurs.

The other party is Kuzushima… It’s not that I can’t help her, but when I think about the risks after I save her, it doesn’t seem worth it.

After all, Kuzushima is the school chairman’s son. He’s a sneaky and nasty man who uses his position to thoroughly corner anyone he doesn’t like.

…Yeah. I’ll just turn a blind eye to this.

Tsukishima Reika isn’t my favorite character anyway.

Besides, the moment this NTR event starts, her route is basically doomed.

I abandoned Tsukishima Reika and left for the sake of my future school life.

On the third day after my reincarnation, while I was doing my work for the student council, Tsukishima Reika asked me to help her.

I felt guilty for abandoning her during the previous Kuzushima NTR event, so I agreed.

“Thank you for helping me, Sasaki-kun.”

“We’re both student council members! This much is only natural!”

In the original NTR route, Reika was supposed to be dragged off by Kuzushima, leaving her mentally broken and holed up in her house for about a week.

The fact that she’s coming to school without any unusual signs… Does that mean nothing happened after that? Hmm… I’ll just keep an eye on the situation for now.

“I’m kind of happy that Tsukishima-san relied on me.”

“You’re exaggerating.”

“Well, it’s just… everyone else is from the advanced class and really amazing, unlike someone like me…”

“…But I think Sasaki-kun is amazing too.”

“…Eh?”

“Getting into the student council as a general class student isn’t something just anyone can do. I really respect the ability and effort it must have taken you to accomplish that.”

“Tsukishima-san…Thank you. Hearing that from you gives me confidence!”

“Come on, you’re exaggerating again.”

Tsukishima Reika chuckled.

Well, this feels like good communication.

She’s not my favorite character or anything, but she is cute, so I’ll keep raising my likeability as much as I can today.

“Oh, Reika-chan~”

While I was chatting with Tsukishima Reika, Kuzushima appeared in front of me.

“Eh? What? Are you alone now? If you’re free, wanna hang out? I swear I’ll make it fun for you~”

Huh? What’s with this guy? Can’t he see me next to her?

Ignoring my presence entirely, Kuzushima continued talking as if I didn’t exist. Maybe he didn’t want to acknowledge anything inconvenient.

“Um, e-excuse me…!! Sorry, but… We’re in the middle of student council work right now…!!”

As expected, I was a little annoyed, so I stepped forward to protect Tsukishima Reika.

“Huh? Who are you? Get lost.”

“Guh?!”

I was pushed away by Kuzushima and fell on the ground.

…Alright, I’ve done my part. My body hurts. Now it’s up to someone else around here to step in.

“Sasaki-kun!”

“Huh? Oi, Reika. Why are you ignoring me and worrying about this piece of trash?”

Kuzushima’s expression changed.

For the first time, Kuzushima noticed me.

What the hell? Don’t look at me like that—Don’t direct your anger at me!

“…What are you trying to do to Sasaki-kun?”

“Hah? What’s this? Are you seriously siding with him? Hmph. I should teach you a lesson so you understand your place.”

“!!!”

The other students nearby averted their eyes, pretending not to see what was happening. It was as if we were a ticking time bomb they didn’t want to get involved with.

Huh? Are you kidding me? Someone help! Why is everyone just pretending not to see this? Is your own safety that important to you? You cowards!

“Yo, senpai. You look like you’re having fun. Got some business with my friends?”

In the middle of my despair, Ishibashi Tsuyoshi appeared.

Then, Ishibashi Tsuyoshi stood in front of me, as if to protect me and Reika.

Ishibashi Tsuyoshi… In the game, he is Sasaki Yuuma’s…throwaway character.

He’s a male character with a cheat-level face and abilities, but he’s always used as a stepping stone by me.

For me, he’s nothing more than a pitiable character designed to be overshadowed.

“If you don’t apologize, I’ll double what you did to Sasaki.”

“Ugh…! F-fine! I’m sorry! …There, happy now?”

Ishibashi easily protected Reika and me and made Kuzushima apologize.

What’s this… It feels like I’ve become a stepping stone for Ishibashi Tsuyoshi.

I mean, Ishibashi is definitely the one who made the biggest impact this time… and I’ve been made to look like a useless guy who couldn’t stand up to Kuzushima.

He just happened to show up at the right time and took all the credit.

Don’t mess with me, Ishibashi… You’re just another step for my glorious future!

In that case, you should have just been a pushover for me.

I couldn’t stand any of it.

So…

“Um, Kuzushima-senpai.”

“Huh? Oh, you’re that Sasaki kid from lunchtime, right?”

“Don’t you want to…bring Ishibashi Tsuyoshi down?”

“Heh, sounds like an interesting idea. Tell me more about it.”

I advised Kuzushima to spread nasty rumors about Ishibashi Tsuyoshi.
