Chapter 54 – I’m the Main Character of This World (Miyano Kaede’s POV)

(Miyano Kaede’s POV)

“Don’t bully others, it’s so lame.”

It all started that day. Back when even elementary school kids seemed like adults. It was when I helped a chubby girl who went to the same daycare as me.

It wasn’t because of a sense of justice, kindness, or even because I was in love with her. I simply thought bullying was lame, and I couldn’t help but call out.

“Good boy… I’m sure you’ll grow up to be a fine person, Kaede… I’m proud of you…”

Even though it was just that, my mom cried with joy. My dad bought me the latest game console, and even Sakura looked at me with respect.

It didn’t feel bad at all.

“Oh, Kaede-kun! Good morning!”

“Morning…”

The chubby girl I helped started following me around after that. To be honest, it was a bit annoying, but everyone praised me, and she was kind of cute, so I gradually stopped minding it.

“Miyano-kun! I like you!”

“Ah… Um, sorry…”

When I entered elementary school, I was super popular with the girls. I didn’t do anything special. I just helped them out when they were in trouble, and ran a bit faster than others.

But even so, more and more girls started to gather around me. Sometimes there were fights. All I did was just be a little nice to them, and I got so popular. It felt special, and I started thinking, like a childish fool, that maybe I was the main character of the world.

My success didn’t stop when I entered middle school. I don’t even know how many love letters I received. Life felt so easy that I could laugh.

Just saying a few kind words, and girls would fall for me on their own. Even though I was just living a normal life, everyone doted on me. It felt really good. Noa also succeeded in dieting and became really cute, so everything was going smoothly. I was truly the center of the world.

In my first year of high school, things were going well too.

The lively class president. The cool girl with a downer temperament. The strict student council president. The eccentric science club president. Compared to middle school, they were all so unique, somehow more alluring, and cute, that I started thinking it might be time to accept some confessions and form a harem. Even the ordinary girls in my class were all cute, everything was perfect.

Being able to spend my high school life surrounded by girls like this meant that I really was one of the chosen ones. Anything I did was forgiven. No matter what I did, I was popular. No matter what happened, I was everything. I had plenty of male friends, too, so there was never a problem. Everyone followed me.

Because I was the main character.

I was supposed to be the main character…!

“Senpai, Senpai!”

A delinquent named Ibuse Reo started coming to school. That alone would have been fine, but for some reason, Akari became attached to him.

Nothing had changed up until then. Ibuse must have done something. It would be strange if he didn’t. Until recently, Akari was mine. Those feelings of hers were only directed towards me.

I don’t have that kind of relationship with you either. Not from this moment on. So, please, don’t concern yourself with me anymore.

I tried desperately to talk to Shiori about it, but she didn’t take me seriously. On the contrary, she treated me like I was the bad guy. That had never happened before. I was always in the right. Wasn’t she helping me because it was me?

It’s all his fault.

He’s getting in my way.

He’s enjoying taking the girls around me. Otherwise, it doesn’t make sense. I’m the chosen one. Yes, I have to save them. I have to free the two from him. But can I beat him? I heard he’s sent several people to the hospital in fights.

No… I have to do it. I’m the main character. It’ll be fine. I’ll make it work. I’ll expose his true nature.

Look, Miyano… I’m not asking you to forgive the old me. But people can change, you know? You probably think I’m just spouting crap, but it’s true.

Stop it. Don’t say anymore.

I swear, from here on out, I won’t let any of them suffer. That’s a promise.

Why are you looking at me with such a straight face? Stop it. Let your anger get the better of you and hit me. Be the trash you’re rumored to be.

Otherwise I’ll…

How can I trust you with that?!

Then——!!

In my frustration, I grabbed Ibusu by the collar, thinking this would provoke him to fight back, but he grabbed my collar in return and threw his words at me.

——Try taking them back from me. If you’re so sure you can keep them happy, then prove it!

“Ugh… Don’t need you to tell me that…”

It’s no use.

I can’t win.

Against him, I can’t win.

Then start by making your childhood friend happy, at least.

…Shut up.

No. This is wrong. I am right. This guy is the one who’s wrong. The others who followed him are the ones who are wrong. I’m not wrong. It’s just a coincidence. There are other girls out there. Noa will understand me. I’ll go out with Noa for now. I’ll think about the rest afterwards. I’m sure Noa will forgive me for anything. Even if everyone else is leaving me… Noa will always be by my side, she always has…

You’re not my boyfriend or childhood friend, so don’t talk to me. It’s disgusting.

What’s with her eyes? Don’t look at me like that. You’ve always been by my side. I helped you that day. You accepted my confession, didn’t you? You seemed so happy back then. And Sakura said she liked me too. She’s definitely a masochist, so this much is normal. What’s the difference between me and him? Are you saying I’m wrong?

…I-is that so?! You’re the one who’ll cry to me later! I don’t care about you!!!

I’m the main character.

The world revolves around me.

I’m the one who’s right.

That’s right. Noa and the others just weren’t my heroines. He can have those girls for all I care. My true heroines are out there somewhere. I can just start over. I’ve gained experience. Next time, I’ll do better.

Someone kind, who forgives me, who’s cute, and charming, who eats with such enthusiasm, who always smiles next to me…

A heroine like that… must exist somewhere…
