I Was Reincarnated Into a Romantic Comedy World, so I Tried My Best to Make My Favorite Heroine Win, but for Some Reason, All the Flags Point To Me Instead! - Chapter 15 - The Power of a Romantic Comedy Protagonist

Chapter 15 – The Power of a Romantic Comedy Protagonist

And after school.

“I wish the cleaning would finish quickly.”

“That’s true.”

Mikan, Takanashi, and Yuu-chan were on cleaning duty, so Momozono-san and I were waiting for them to finish cleaning in the hallway.

I felt uneasy being alone with Momozono-san.

Come to think of it, when I’m with Momozono-san, I’m usually with Takanashi, so it’s rare for us to be alone together.

As I was feeling nervous, Momozono-san, who was gazing blankly around the classroom, suddenly spoke up.

“…By the way, Yuu-chan seems like a really good girl.”

“Eh? Ah, yeah.”

I stared at Momozono-san’s beautiful profile.

Why is she talking about Yuu-chan now?

“Plus, she’s really attached to Takeda-kun. Have you known Yuu-chan for a while?”

“No. I called out to her when she was alone in an empty classroom.”

“Oh really?”

Momozono-san blinked.

“Takeda-kun really has that side to him, doesn’t he?”

“Eh, that side?”

I looked at Momozono-san in surprise, and she smiled shyly.

“You know, you spoke to me too when I was alone in the classroom, didn’t you?”

“Ah, that.”

I remembered the first time I spoke to Momozono-san.

Come to think of it, at that time, Momozono-san was looking out the window looking lonely.

“I think that’s Takeda-kun’s good side. He can’t just leave people in trouble alone.”

Momozono-san smiled like a goddess.

My heart ached just a little.

After all, the reason I spoke to Yuu-chan was to stop Yuu-chan and Takanashi from getting together.

The reason I spoke to Momozono-san was because of my ego, or rather, to achieve my own selfish goal of getting Momozono-san and Takanashi together.

“No, I’m not such a good person——”

“Sorry to keep you waiting!”

Mikan and Takanashi arrived after finishing cleaning.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

“Now then, once we’ve met up with Yuu-chan, let’s storm the student council room!”

Mikan said with determination, and Yamada agreed.

“Oooohhhhh!”

——Huh, Yamada?!

“Why are you here?”

I put Yamada in a headlock, and he cried out in agony.

“But I’m a member of the drama club too! Have you forgotten, Takeda-san?!”

Come to think of it, that’s right. He was a member too.

“…Tatsuya, what are you doing?”

Yuu-chan, who had just finished cleaning, blinked.

“A-ah, we’re just playing wrestling, playing wrestling! R-right, Yamada-kun, hahaha…”

Yuu-chan looked back and forth between me and Yamada, tilting her head.

“Tatsuya and Yamada… Are you two good friends…?”

There’s no way we’re good friends!

As I laughed to cover it up, Takanashi muttered with a gloomy look on his face.

“That’s right. Takeda-kun and Yamada-kun have been getting along well lately. I thought Takeda-kun and I were best friends, but lately he’s only been hanging out with Yamada-kun…”

Huh!?

No, it’s a misunderstanding.

I hurriedly made an excuse to Takanashi.

“It’s a misunderstanding. Takanashi, you’re my only best friend. Believe me.”

“Really?”

Takanashi looked at me with teary eyes.

I looked at Takanashi’s face and nodded vigorously.

“It’s true. I’m not even the slightest bit close to Yamada!”

Hearing this, Yamada collapsed to the floor.

“That’s terrible. So our relationship was just a game, huh?!”

It’s not a game or anything, we’re not friends in the first place!

Yuu-chan then tilted her head, making a puzzled look on her face.

“Tatsuya, Yamada, and Takanashi-kun… Could it be…??”

No, don’t start thinking weird things!

Ah, this makes no sense!

◇　◇　◇

And so, we headed to the student council room.

“A drama club? Oh, yes, I remember something like that.”

The one who greeted us was a blonde girl with ringlets, blue eyes, and a picture-perfect lady character.

Kurihara Maron Mont Blanc, the student council president of Momoiro Academy, took one look at us, snorted, and crossed her legs.

The contrast between her white knee-high socks and her thicc thighs, along with the glimpse of her white lace panties, was beautiful——wait, no!

“‘Oh, I remember,’ doesn’t cut it! Just hurry up and approve our club! We’ve gathered members already!”

As Mikan rambled on, the student council president sighed with disinterest.

“Sorry, but I can’t do that.”

“Why not?”

“Well, it’s because the drama club already exists.”

The student council president brushed her blonde vertical curls aside.

Huh…? The drama club already exists?

“What do you mean?”

“There’s no need to elaborate. The drama club was established last year, but when the third-years graduated, the number dropped below five. However, the club still exists on paper.”

“Really?”

What does that mean? There was no such setting in the original story.

Why is this problem occurring in this world?

Wait a minute, the drama club that existed last year——

Oh, that reminds me, one of the heroines, Rinko-senpai, had a setting where she started a drama club last year, but then all the third-year students retired, and she continued the club’s activities by herself from then on.

As I connected the dots, it hit me.

That’s right. At the original Momogaku, when the drama club was started, the paperwork was submitted by Rinko-senpai, who was in the club last year, as the club president.

So on paper, Takanashi and the others joined last year’s drama club, and no problems arose.

In other words, to start up a drama club, I have to get Rinko-senpai on board.

Damnit. Not only Yuu-chan, Rinko-senpai has to join the drama club too.

Even though I thought I’d gotten rid of the heroines that were a nuisance to Momozono-san, the heroines still ended up gathering around Takanashi in the end.

No matter how hard I try to twist fate, beautiful girls always end up gathering around the protagonist in the end…

The power of a romantic comedy protagonist is truly frightening!!

I gritted my teeth.
