I Was Reincarnated as the Villain in an NTR Eroge, but Since I Don’t Actually Want to Be a Villain, I’m Just Going to Live Normally - 8

Chapter 8: School Life Feels Fun After a Long Time Without It

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

A day had passed since I came into the world of the NTR game. And now that I had become the villain, Akira Kuze, what was I doing…?

“Okay, so, how would you translate this English sentence into Japanese…”

Scratch, scratch…

I had come to school today without skipping and was diligently paying attention in class. By the way, this was during English class. Well, as usual, during break times, the students around me were whispering and looking at me, but during class, of course, there was no chatter, so I could concentrate on the lesson.

Wow… I didn’t realize school classes could actually be this interesting…

I felt that way as I earnestly followed the lesson. To be honest, I had forgotten almost everything I learned in high school. Grammar, auxiliary verbs, the “be” verbs… I couldn’t remember most of it. But listening properly to high school lessons for the first time in over ten years, I found myself enjoying it more than I expected.

I suppose it was because, as a working adult, I had come to deeply understand the importance of studying. That was why I could feel this way now that I had returned to being a student. Thinking about that, I was truly glad to be back at school.

So, without getting bored, I continued diligently paying attention to the teacher.

Ding dong!

“All right. The chime’s rung, so we’ll end here for today. Class monitor, lead the dismissal—”

“Stand—at—attention. Bow—”

“““Thank you!”””

And that was the end of English class. That concluded all the lessons for today, so after this, it would be after school. Today’s lessons had been fun. So I quickly began stuffing my textbooks and materials into my school bag to head home…Bbut then, I suddenly realized something.

…Huh? Wait a minute, isn’t the midterm test coming up soon?

I realized that. In the main game, there had been scenes with midterms and final exams. And considering the timing, it wouldn’t be strange if midterms were coming up soon. But thinking about it…

…This is bad. If that’s the case, then I’m kinda screwed, aren’t I…?

I had only become Akira Kuze yesterday. And as I mentioned, I had forgotten almost everything from high school. So if midterms were coming up soon, I probably wouldn’t have enough time to review all the subjects. Well, maybe I could quickly review my strong subjects and manage, but reviewing the ones I was weak at would probably be pretty hard.

On top of that, or rather, Kuze has way too many part-time shifts already…

Kuze had been a delinquent, so he used to play out late every night, but he earned the money for his outings with his part-time jobs. So in the main game, there was a rumor among the students that “Kuze threatens underclassmen and extorts money,” but that turned out to be completely false. Kuze was earning his own money and spending it on his own fun.

It’s impressive that he earned his own spending money… But a student’s main job is studying. So playing too much or working too many shifts isn’t good. From now on, I’ll have to significantly limit my work shifts. Well, today’s a work day, so I’ll quickly talk to the manager about it. Also, if I’m going to live seriously from now on, I need to fix my lifestyle and daily rhythm too.

Up until now, Kuze’s life had been completely night-oriented: sleep during the day, work in the evening, then play in the entertainment district until morning. That was why I couldn’t sleep at all last night, and I was extremely sleepy during the day today. But from now on, I wanted to live properly, so I needed to graduate from this inverted day-night lifestyle and return to being a normal daytime person.

Well, I can slowly fix my internal clock. For now, the main concern is how to survive the upcoming midterms.

“…Hey.”

“…Hm?”

While I was thinking about that and packing up to leave, a female student suddenly called out to me. I looked in her direction to see who it was. And there she was…

“W-Wait… ah!? Y-Yukishiro!?”

It was none other than Kasumi Yukishiro, one of the main heroines. Yesterday, I had run into Moeka Sakagami, the other main heroine, and now today, I was running into Kasumi Yukishiro.

Kasumi Yukishiro was a second-year female student at this school and one of my classmates. She was 168 cm tall, with a slim, model-like figure. Her hair was long and black in a hime-cut style, with sharp eyes and fair skin, giving off a classic Yamato-nadeshiko vibe. In short, she was extremely beautiful. On top of that, she was academically brilliant, always ranking highly in national exams. She was a true combination of beauty and brains.

Her personality was proper and serious, and because of that, she was part of the student council. Because of her serious personality, in the main game, she could never forgive Kuze for being unserious and hardly coming to school. That was why in Yukishiro’s route, there was always a heated argument scene between Kuze and Yukishiro.

Well, even though she hated him enough to argue constantly, eventually, in the game, Kuze slowly NTRs and completely corrupts her…

In the main game, Kuze considered Yukishiro, who constantly argued with him, to be a “fucking annoying girl.” He even wanted to get back at her. Then, by chance, Kuze saw Yukishiro happily dating the protagonist every day, so he decided to NTR her for fun, destroying her happiness. This was the Kasumi Yukishiro route.

At first, I had enjoyed the pure 100% cute couple moments in her route, but after a while, the scenes of her being slowly NTR’d by Kuze began, which were really intense. The process was depicted in painstaking detail, to the point that I nearly wanted to throw up while playing.

Eventually, Yukishiro abandoned the protagonist and chose Kuze, and the protagonist never saw her again, resulting in a bad ending. It was a story that completely destroyed your mind. So now, the proper and serious main heroine, Kasumi Yukishiro, had come to me. In the game, she should hate me a lot. So, slightly on guard, I asked her back.

“Uh… What’s up?”

“…You’re the only one who hasn’t turned in the field trip survey form. As the class representative, I’m responsible for submitting it to the homeroom teacher. So give it to me quickly.”

“Eh? There was such a survey? S-Sorry, I must’ve caused trouble for you. But I don’t have the form with me today… So I’ll bring it tomorrow. Can you wait until then?”

“…Fine. I’ll wait until tomorrow. Make sure to bring it then.”

“Ah, yeah. Got it. Sorry for the trouble. I’ll definitely hand it to you tomorrow morning.”

“…Understood. But I won’t wait any longer. If you forget again tomorrow, you’ll have to submit it to the teacher yourself. Hmph.”

Tap tap tap…

With that, Yukishiro left me. As expected, she seemed to dislike me a lot. Well, I couldn’t blame her. But even though she disliked me, I had no intention of doing anything bad like in the game. No villainous acts, no NTR moves, nothing. Same with Sakagami.

So you two can enjoy your school life without worrying about me. Go ahead and have fun with your youth.

I thought that to the heroines in my heart. Then, I slung my school bag over my shoulder and headed home quickly, and afterward, I went straight to my part-time job at the convenience store.
