I, Who Reincarnated as the Villain in a Romance Game, Somehow Became Doted on by the Heroine. And That Heroine Turned Out to Be a Yandere Stalker - Chapter 1: The Incident Where the Main Heroine Turned into a Yandere Stalker

Episode 1: The Incident Where the Main Heroine Turned into a Yandere Stalker

In spring, on the day of the high school entrance ceremony, I stopped at the entrance of the school building. No, I froze—

“…This can’t be true.”

The signboard read, “Youin Academy.”
At that moment, it felt like my brain was being filled with information.

My name is Mitsuru Toudou.
I’m sixteen years old, with a sunny disposition, and I’m as much of a delinquent as they come.

Or so I thought until just now.

(“Whyyyyyy, why, whyyyyy, why am I reincarnated into the romance game I was obsessed with!? And as the villain!?”)

I had reincarnated into a hardcore delinquent from the romance game “Youin Academy” that I had been obsessed with in my previous life.

My character, in short, is the ultimate villain who obstructs the protagonist’s love life.
Violence, of course, and also a bit of naughty behavior towards the heroine.
According to the game developers, they poured all the evil into this character.

And of all characters, it had to be this one for a former ultra-dark introvert like me…

I checked my reflection in the car’s side mirror next to me.
Tall, fairly handsome, but with slightly intimidating eyes… right? Yeah, that’s how I looked.

By the way, the game’s content isn’t that complicated.
As the name suggests, it’s mainly set in a school with many extroverted and introverted characters.
Various heroines and extras coexist, and the interesting part of the game is that you can pursue any character.

What’s more, you can even pursue characters of the same gender.
I heard you could even pursue the teachers, or even the principal.
Of course, I’ve never pursued anyone…

Among them, the heroine is incredibly cool yet incredibly beautiful and cute.
The protagonist is like a prince, a beautiful and handsome extrovert.

I truly loved this game. I mean, I would have screamed with joy if I were the protagonist…

But still, why this character…

Thud.

Someone bumped into me as I stood by the school gate.

“…?”

When I turned around, it was the protagonist of this game.
He really is quite handsome.
His double eyelids are beautiful, and his teeth are white—

“Ahhhh, s-s-s-s-sorry!”
“Huh?”

But the protagonist backed away, sweating nervously.

…Uh oh!? We’re not supposed to meet here yet.
I remember, we were supposed to meet for the first time in the same class, and then the protagonist would summon up the courage to punch me…

No, even more importantly!

This is bad—we have to do something!

◇

“Geh-hehehe, she’s pretty.”
“Hey, tell me your LINE?”
“Forget the entrance ceremony, wanna hang out with us?”

Three obviously shady and strong-looking guys surrounded a female student.

I watched them from the shadows.

(Oh no, oh no, what should I do?)

That female student is the main heroine of this game.
Normally, the protagonist who appeared by chance would summon up the courage to help her here.

But I ruined that.

If things continue like this, I don’t know what will happen to her.

“…Please stop.”
“What’s wrong with that!”

She’s—really a good kid. Beautiful, cute, and cool.

Maybe it’s just a game… but I can’t just overlook it.

“…Oi.”

“Huh? W-what… y-you!?”

The three guys looked at me, flustered.
What should I do? What does a villain do? What should I do?

“What are you lot… doing?”
“S-Sorryyyy!”

And the guys left, trembling.

Phew… that was close. This should solve things.

“Um…”

But still, the heroine is really cute.
With her long black hair, excellent grades, and a demeanor like a small animal, she’s really something.

Ah, but I mustn’t talk to her here.

That’s not how the scenario goes…

“…………”

I silently walked away.
Alright, this should be the right answer.

◇

After school, the entrance ceremony ended without incident.

But there were so many characters, it was surprising.
Even though it was the entrance ceremony, there were people inflating balloons just like in the game, and there was a woman wearing a fish headgear while saying “Gyogyo!”

Well, I quite like her though.

Now then, time to go home…
The heroine and the protagonist, they should be—going home together around this time, right?

Oh, that’s fine. I want to see it happen right in front of me.

As I was thinking that, someone emerged from behind a telephone pole.

“…Mitsuru-kun.”
“Huh…?”

It was the main heroine, Hiyono Yuizaki.
Just a while ago, I helped her, the cool beauty of the academy.

“What’s… wrong!?”
“Thank you for earlier.”
“Ah, n-no, it was nothing.”

This is bad, this is bad. What should I do? What should I say?
And my tone has reverted back to my usual self.
Well… it’s fine. There’s no need to force it.

“…Um.”
“Yes?”

What does she intend to say? I wonder.
If it’s the Hiyono-san I know, she’ll probably say “thank you” and then leave.
Well, it shouldn’t affect the scenario much if she does.

She looked at me with bewitching eyes.

“Mitsuru-san… would you walk home with me?”

Wait, Hiyono-san… are your eyes turning into hearts?
