I Was Reincarnated as the Villain Who Confines the Heroine in an Eroge World, But for Some Reason I'm the One Getting Confined by the Heroine Instead

Chapter 13.2: I Got Confined by the Heroine

“…Yeah.”

“I had it renovated.”

“Renovated?”

When we got closer, the building looked better maintained than I expected.

The walls were faded, but the windows were brand new and shiny. And the door separating inside from outside was thick iron.

Even at a glance, it was clearly a very sturdy, modern door.

“Come in.”

Safira opened the door with a beaming smile, barely containing her excitement.

She must have put a lot of care into the interior too. She looked like she couldn’t wait to show me.

“Come on, hurry.”

I stepped inside at her urging, and—

The moment I did, the gentle scent of grapes tickled my nose.

“Grapes!”

The room felt incredibly comfortable.

A soft-looking bed. A tidy desk and chair. Bookshelves along the wall.

And lined up by the window were dozens—no, scores—of bottles of grape juice.

“You can drink as much as you want here.”

“For real?!”

This was heaven.

With the ducal house’s wealth it was probably easy, but I still felt bad for the extravagant treatment.

“But is this really okay? Treating me so well…”

“Of course! Make yourself at home!”

“No, I’d still feel bad about—”

“Want some grape juice?”

“Yes!”

She instantly poured Kyoho grape juice into a wine glass for me.

I gratefully accepted, took a sniff, and sipped.

“So good! When it’s made from great grapes, the aroma is this complex.”

“Hehe, I’m glad. It’s a special ducal house recipe.”

“That explains it. I was shocked because I’d never tasted anything like it.”

“I’m happy you like it. Now sit down for a moment.”

Safira motioned for me to sit, then looked at me with strong, determined eyes.

“We’re going to talk, right?”

“Oh, right.”

I sat on the edge of the bed.

“Wait just a second.”

Safira walked back to the door, quietly checked outside, and then—

Clunk.

The sound of the lock echoed through the room.

“…Huh? What was that sound?”

“The lock.”

“The lock?”

“Yes, the lock.”

“Eh? The lock?”

Safira turned around with her usual smile.

That beautiful face carried an inexplicable pressure, and she said,

“You’re the one who said you wanted to be alone together—right, Ask-kun?”

“But we don’t need to lock the—”

“We do.”

“But…”

“We do!”

The moment Safira raised her voice, a chill ran down my spine.

Wait a second.

I calmly assessed the situation.

I’d been invited onto ducal grounds, led to a cottage at the far edge, and now I was alone with her.

Alone together in a sealed room.

That by itself wasn’t a problem, but the door was locked, and from the look on her face I didn’t think she’d let me out easily.

Because she was slowly walking toward me, eyes gleaming with predatory intensity.

Don’t tell me… right now I’m…

About to be confined?!

But by the time I realized, it was far too late.

“Huh? I suddenly feel dizzy…”

My vision swayed.

There must have been something in the grape juice. Thinking back calmly, there had been a complicated flavor and scent that wasn’t just grape.

I should have noticed then. Too late now.

My consciousness gradually faded.

The scene in front of me blurred and grew distant; my field of vision slowly flipped upside down.

The next thing I felt was the soft bed against my back.

Safira’s face hovered above me, wearing an expression of pure bliss as she looked down.

“…Eh?”

That’s when I realized she had pushed me down.

Inside a sealed room on ducal grounds, drugged and pinned beneath Safira.

There was only one word for this situation.

Confinement.

“Wait. You’ve got it backward.”

“Backward?”

“The one doing the confining is supposed to be m—”

My words cut off mid-sentence. No, it wasn’t the words—my consciousness slipped away.

And so I was confined by Safira.

It worked it worked it worked it worked it worked it worked it worked it worked it worked it worked it worked it worked it worked it worked it worked it worked it worked it worked it worked it worked it worked it worked it worked it worked it worked it worked.

No, this isn’t just success. This is fate.

Because Ask-kun wanted to be confined by me.

I never imagined it.

At first I thought he was joking, but he seriously said he wanted to be alone together in a place with no people.

So this is definitely what Ask-kun wants.

I only gave his wish a tiny, tiny little push.

I put a drug in the juice just in case. One that weakens magical power.

I had Lavanda standing by outside the cottage just in case.

I locked the door from both inside and out just in case.

Even so, this is fate. Fate.

Of course, I know this life can’t last forever. If Father finds out I’m confining someone on ducal grounds, he’ll be furious. There’s no telling what he might do.

Ask-kun could even be in danger.

That’s why I’ve decided.

I will make the ducal house mine.

I will take the house from my father.

Then no one can interfere. No one can complain.

Confining Ask-kun, anything I do—it will all be the decision of the ducal house. And no one can go against the ducal house’s decision.

There’s a mountain of things I have to do.

Deal with the opposing factions. Keep the neighboring country in check. Develop the vineyards.

But above all, I have to become stronger myself.

Strong enough that no one can beat me. Strong enough to protect Ask-kun. I have to become strong, stronger, even stronger.

And then I will complete our world.

I will absolutely turn the entire ducal territory into a paradise just for him.
