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 63 - Is That Woman an Ally or a Foe?

Chapter 63 – Is That Woman an Ally or a Foe?

After work on Wednesday, September 11th.

Noa called out to me as we were leaving work together.

“Hey, Ibuse-kun. Wanna walk home with me?”

“Hmm? Yeah, sure…”

“Yay. Thanks.”

I got the impression that Noa had gotten over her breakup somehow since that incident. Himezaki had said it too, but Noa seems stronger than I thought.

So I decided to walk home with Noa, pushing my bike.

“It was really tiring today.”

“Yeah, I feel like it’s busier than last week.”

“That’s right. I wonder if this is the Ibuse-kun effect?”

“What’s that? Am I the store’s mascot?”

We walked while talking about irrelevant stuff. I tried not to talk about Kaede as much as possible. If she didn’t say anything, it’s not my place.

Even so, I thought there was something she wanted to talk about since she specifically asked to go home together… Wait, maybe she just happened to be in the mood?

“…At the end of this month. There’s a student council election, right?”

Then, just as we were about to reach a crossroads, Noa stopped and brought up what seemed to be the main topic.

“Yeah. I wonder who’ll be the next President.”

As Noa said, there’s a student council election at the end of the month. It’s a big problem for me, who gets to enjoy the benefits of the air conditioning in the student council room during lunch break.

Even if that wasn’t the case, Shiori was lamenting about it yesterday too. She said that there are no candidates at the moment. It seems that none of the student council members want to take over from Shiori. It can’t be helped, since people will inevitably feel compared  to her.

“…I’m thinking about running for student council president.”

“That’s great. I think Mizukami can do it if she wants.”

“…Yeah. Thanks.”

So, that’s what this is about. Noa as the student council president, huh… If I beg, she’ll probably let me use the room like usual. She’s not a stranger, so there’s a chance. She also seems to be getting along well with Nanami these days, and there are probably no other candidates. This is a good thing.

“But won’t that make it harder for your part-time job? Shiori seems pretty busy, you know?”

“That’s what the manager said too. But I can still work on weekends, so it should be just barely okay.”

“The manager must have it tough on weekends…”

Noa, who had just declared her intent to become student council president, was still standing there, not moving. Maybe there was more she wanted to say.

As I was thinking this and waiting for her next words, Noa muttered, “Alright!” and straightened up.

“Hey, Ibuse-kun.”

“What?”

“…Would you like to join the student council with me?”

“Huh?”

It was so sudden that I couldn’t help but ask again. Noa continued.

“I’ll be the student council president, and I want Ibuse-kun to be the vice president. I want you to be by my side and help me as my partner.”

“Let me think about it.”

It’s no good, my brain can’t keep up. Me, Ibuse Reo, in the student council??? No, that just sounds impossible. And not as a regular member, but vice president? I don’t think I’d fit that role at all.

“Apparently we have to submit the paperwork by the weekend, so let me know by then.”

“…Sure.”

“Well, thanks for today. Good work!”

“Good work…”

Noa finished what she had to say and she ran away from the place.

“…Vice president, huh?”

(Sera Akari’s POV)

Thursday, September 12th.

In the student council room during lunch break.

“——And that’s what happened. What do you guys think?”

Following Reo-senpai’s explanation, Nanami-senpai and I hurriedly called an emergency meeting.

“That’s what this is about, isn’t it?”

“What should we do?”

Reo-senpai is a bit dense, so he probably didn’t notice, but that’s probably what this is about. Partners!! It definitely means that! Isn’t four a bit too many??!!

While we were having a meeting in the corner of the student council room, Shiori-san answered Reo-senpai’s consultation without a care in the world.

“Isn’t that a good idea? I’d be happy too. Don’t worry, I’ll teach you about the task. And except for event periods, it’s not that busy.”

“Hmm… Then I’ll think about it.”

“W-wait a second, Shiori-san!”

I ran over to Shiori, who had readily agreed, and whispered in her ear.

“That’s no good… I mean, this is about that, you know…”

“About that? What do you mean?”

Ah——this person is clueless too! Or maybe we’re just overthinking this?!

As I was thinking about how to explain this to Shiori, there was a knock on the door to the student council room.

“Come in.”

“Excuse me. Is President Fujita here?”

Shiori-san allowed the person who knocked to come in, and it was Mizukami-senpai who appeared.

“Ah. What’s the matter?”

“Actually, there’s something I want to discuss with you…”

Mizukami-senpai came straight into the student council room and started to have a difficult conversation with Shiori-san. I left Shiori-san for a moment and decided to sit on Reo-senpai’s lap.

“What’s with this all of a sudden?”

“Nothing, just don’t mind me.”

“There’s no way I can… It’s hard to eat…”

“——Thank you very much. I’ll take that into consideration.”

“I’m always available to give you advice if you’d like.”

It seemed that Mizukami-senpai’s discussion with Shiori-san was over, as Mizukami-senpai came over to us.

“…You’re so lovey-dovey, Ibuse-kun.”

“…Yeah, I guess so.”

“Hmph!”

Reo-senpai was embarrassed, but he didn’t deny that we were lovey-dovey. I felt happy too, so I puffed out my chest to show it off. Then Mizukami-senpai smiled softly and said, “Fufu.”

“You’ve got a really cute girlfriend. Take good care of her, okay?”

“You don’t have to tell me that.”

Cute… She said I’m cute…!!!

She’s a good person!!!

“Hmph!!!”

Mizukami-senpai then saw something on Nanami-senpai’s desk, and called out to Nanami-senpai, who was still standing off to the side.

“Could this be Kinoshita-san’s?”

“Ah… Um!? Well… yes…”

Nanami-senpai hurried back to her seat, flustered. Mizukami-senpai approached Nanami-senpai and began to talk with a cheerful look on her face.

“This novel is going to be made into an anime soon, right? I really like it too!”

“Really?!”

“Yeah, yeah! It’s so exciting!!”

“Y-yeah, I know, right?!!!”

The two of them instantly hit it off, and started to get excited talking about things I didn’t understand. I could tell from Nanami-senpai’s face that she thought “She’s a good person!!!”

“Ah, sorry for interrupting. Well, I’ll be off then…”

After a bit of excitement, Mizukami-senpai left the student council room. On her way out, she casually said “See you later” to Reo-senpai, but… Well, it should be fine!!

“Senpai, Senpai!”

“What is it now…?”

“Mizukami-senpai is okay!!!”

“What’s up with that… You’re being pretty rude, you know.”

Reo-senpai lightly tapped me on the head as if to scold me. Judging by this reaction, he probably still hasn’t caught on to what’s happening.

Well, whether there are three or four, it doesn’t really change much! I’m the main girlfriend anyway! I’m generous enough to offer support! Especially if she’s this cute!!
