I’ve Been Reincarnated as the Strongest Villain in an NTR Eroge, so I’m Going to Break the Heroines’ Doom Flags on Behalf of the Main Character! - Chapter 29 - Accidents Happen in the Pool

Chapter 29 – Accidents Happen in the Pool

We’d finished talking about most of what we wanted to talk about, and things became awkward in many ways.

As Nanami and I were looking for a place where we could meet up with Shiori and the others, we found Shiori being talked to by two men near the water slide.

“Hey, Ibuse-kun… That’s Shiori-chan, right?”

“Yeah… Looks like she’s being hit on.”

I was curious as to why she was alone, but it seemed best to interrupt their conversation for now.

“Hey. Sorry to keep you waiting. Do you know these guys?”

“What the… She’s with a guy…?”

When I spoke to Shiori, the two men seemed frightened and quickly ran away. Seeing the men’s backs, Shiori smiled at me in amazement.

“You’re a bit late, aren’t you? Your girl was about to be hit on.”

“What’s with that phrasing…? I was worried about those guys, thinking you might throw them into the pool.”

“…I see. Then why don’t you demonstrate how to handle being hit on?”

“I’ll pass.”

As usual, Shiori and I exchanged some lighthearted banter. I thought I heard Nanami giggling oddly to herself, but it seemed pointless to acknowledge it, so I just ignored it.

“So? Where are the other two?”

“Up there.”

Shiori pointed to the top of the water slide.

I see, that’s where they were.

“It’s a two-person ride. I decided to wait here.”

Even though Shiori was trying to act mature, she was clearly fidgeting as she watched the people sliding down. She probably wanted to try it herself. With that in mind, I made a suggestion to Shiori.

“Go with Kinoshita. I’ll wait for those two instead.”

“…Are you sure?”

“Yeah. Kinoshita’s okay, right?”

“Eh… I’m not really into this kind of thing——”

“Let’s go, Nanami!”

“Eh?? No, I think it would be better if Ibuse-kun——?!”

Shiori took Nanami’s hand before she could refuse, and enthusiastically pulled her towards the water slide.

Shiori must have really wanted to do it. It was the first time I’d ever seen Shiori look so excited.

And so, after waiting for a few minutes…

“Whoooaaa!!!” “Yeeeeayyyy!!!”

Finally, the first-year duo, Akari and Sakura, came sliding down the slope, looking like they were having a blast.

“That was fun! Let’s do it again, Akari!”

“Yeah, yeah! Oh, I want to slide with the President too!”

They approached me, chatting away in a friendly atmosphere, and when Akari finally spotted me, she jumped out of the pool and hugged me.

“Senpai!!”

“Hey, hey. It’s dangerous. Don’t jump on me.”

“But, but, it’s a surprise senpai after all~”

What does she mean by “surprise senpai”? I mean, I get it, she’s excited, but she’s going a bit overboard. Not that I don’t enjoy getting attention from a cute girl like her, but Akari should learn a bit more restraint.

As I was thinking that, Akari’s breathing, with her face buried in my chest, was getting heavier and heavier.

“Hehe… Senpai’s naked body…and muscles…pant, pant…”

“…Get away, you perverted, sexually harassing girl.”

I grabbed the head of the pervert who was rubbing her face against me, and pulled it away forcefully.

“Dammit…”

“What are you upset about?”

Despite the ridiculous scene between Akari and me, Sakura wasn’t yelling or anything. She was still in the pool, looking a bit downcast.

“Hey, what are you doing? Get out quickly, it’s dangerous.”

“Eh… Ah… You don’t have to tell me! I mean, take your hands off Akari! That’s sexual harassment!”

“…Seriously, didn’t you see what just happened?”

Sakura leapt out of the pool just like Akari, then quickly stomped her way towards me.

“Watch your step!”

“Shut up! Let go of Akari… huh!?”

Ignoring my warning, Sakura tripped over something and lost her balance, almost falling forward. I quickly let go of Akari and managed to catch Sakura’s body, supporting her from below.

“Arghh… are you okay?!”

However, due to the height difference, I ended up on my knees, and while enduring the pain as my right knee rubbed against the ground, I checked to see if Sakura was okay.

“I’m…fine…”

Although she said that, her face was clearly in pain. Looking down, I saw that the tip of Sakura’s big toe was red.

“Let’s go to the first aid room. Can you walk?”

“This is nothing, I’m fine!”

Sakura moved away from me, trying to show that she was fine. Her toe was a little red, but it didn’t look like it was going to bleed. She seemed okay.

“And don’t touch me! You perv——”

When Sakura was about to start hurling insults at me——

“Sakura!!!”

Slap

Akari slapped Sakura hard across her cheek. Her face was unusually full of anger, and Sakura looked like she was about to burst into tears after being slapped.

“Isn’t there something you should say first?!”

“…B-but…”

“No ‘buts’! You idiot!!”

Akari shifted her gaze to me and offered me her shoulder.

“You too, Senpai. Before worrying about others, go get your injury taken care of.”

“…Sorry. Thanks.”

Maybe it was because of the speed at which I had scraped it, but my right knee was bleeding quite a bit.

The three of us went to the first aid room, and Sakura and I were treated.

After being treated by a staff member, I left the first aid room and four people were waiting for me outside. Akari was the first to run up to me.

“Senpai! Are you okay?!”

“It’s just a scratch, don’t worry about it.”

“I see… That’s good then…”

While I was talking with Akari, Sakura, who had been nudged forward by Shiori, approached me with a guilty look and bowed her head.

“……I’m sorry…”

It seemed like Sakura’s toes were fine, as she left the first aid room before me. Judging from the situation, Shiori must have scolded her. It would be a bit too harsh to say anything more to her now.

“Don’t worry about it. I’m just glad you weren’t hurt.”

“Yes…”

“So, I guess you’re not allowed to get back in the water, huh?”

Shiori patted Sakura’s head, who was looking down, and asked about the injury.

“Well… Seems like it.”

“I see. Then, it can’t be helped.”

Naturally, the staff told her, “No swimming in the pool for the rest of the day.”

To think that I came all this way and only got to enter one pool… Well, I guess at least I got to see everyone in their swimsuits.

“……Hic, hic…”

While we were talking, tears started to fall from Sakura’s downcast eyes. Even though she dislikes me, it seems she feels some guilt for causing the injury.

“I’m sorry… I’m really…sorry…”

Sakura bowed deeply to me while shedding tears. Seeing her like this was too much to bear, so I gave Shiori a wink.

“…That’s right, Nanami, Akari-chan. Let’s go buy some shaved ice.”

“Eh… Right now?”

Nanami was surprised by Shiori’s sudden suggestion, who had noticed the meaning of my wink, and asked again.

“Yes, right now. And guess what, Ibusuki-kun is treating us.”

“B-but, President…”

Even Akari was perplexed. But Shiori forcefully took their hands, looked at me with a look that said, “I’ll leave it to you,” and started walking towards the food court.

“Well… Let’s sit down for now. My knees hurt if I stand too long.”

“…Hic, hic… Yes…”

Sakura, still crying, agreed with my suggestion, and the two of us sat on a nearby bench to talk for a bit.
