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 78 - The Heroines’ Resolves 1

Chapter 78 – The Heroines’ Resolves 1

Friday, October 18th.

I was working hard again today in preparation for the culture festival. I was busy walking around the different clubs, answering questions, and helping with heavy lifting.

After school on such a day. It was time for the student council members to finish their work and go home. Only Noa and I remained in the student council room, and we were sitting next to each other, face-to-face with various documents.

“…Hmmmnn… Hey, Reo-kun, I’m tired.”

“Good work. Would you like some chocolate?”

I offered the chocolate to Noa, who was stretching her arms up. Noa looked annoyed for a moment, but accepted the chocolate with a dissatisfied look on her face.

“Thanks. Anyway, I’m tired. The student council president is tired. Your girlfriend is tired.”

“…What do you want?”

“Please massage my shoulders.”

“As you wish.”

I received a request from Noa, so I decided to give her a shoulder massage. It’s true that Noa seems to be much busier than me. Thanks to her connections, many students rely on her and she responds to each of them properly. To show her appreciation, I quickly got up from my chair and stood behind her, touching her stiff shoulders and putting pressure on my fingertips.

“…They’re really stiff. Does it hurt?”

“No… It doesn’t hurt…”

Nanami and Shiori often ask me to massage their shoulders, so I’m used to doing this. In fact, if this is enough to relieve everyone’s fatigue, then I’m happy to do it.

As I was carefully massaging her shoulders, Noa suddenly tilted her head up and stared at my face and asked.

“Reo-kun, what are you planning to do for the after-party?”

“What do you mean?”

“Who are you going to spend it with? Don’t act dumb.”

“…We can just spend it together, with everyone.”

“No, that’s banned.”

Noa replied to my answer with a wry smile, turned her face back to the front and started eating the chocolate I had given her.

“Well, I’m also okay with spending time with everyone, but sometimes you should let us compete too.”

“Compete…?”

“It’s not that serious. We’re all friends, after all. It’s just about making memories. I bet it’s nerve-wracking for Reo-kun, being the one who has to choose, though.”

Yesterday, Noa had proposed an idea. During the after-festival party, there would be a time for dancing, and she wanted me to choose the first person I’d dance with from among everyone. That person would then get to have a one-on-one date with me on Christmas Eve.

In the first place, I had no intention of dancing with anyone, but for some reason everyone else seems keen on it too, so I can’t run away now.

But if I absolutely had to choose just one person…

“Noa. Sorry, but I…”

“Yes, yes. Not now. Save what you want to say for next week.”

As I was about to tell Noa, she removed my hand that was massaging her shoulders and stuffed the remaining chocolate into her mouth.

“Nnn… Thanks for the shoulder massage.”

Noa then stood up and faced me, thanking me.

“You have to say the right words to the right person, okay? No getting embarrassed or holding back because of someone else. At least, I don’t want that.”

“…You figured it out, huh?”

“Of course! How much do you think I’m watching you and everyone else?”

“I see. Thank——”

As usual, she easily saw through what I was thinking, so I tried to thank Noa.

“…Nnn…”

But before I could say anything, I felt a soft sensation on my lips, and at the same time, a faint bitter-sweetness spread in my mouth.

“…Anyway.”

Noa pulled away from me, having leaned in and hugged me like a small devil, smiling with a mischievous grin.

“If you choose me… I’d be even happier.”

“…Thank you.”

I wondered for a moment how to respond to Noa’s words, but then I realized that this was probably part of her plan, so I decided just to hug her while thanking her.

……

…

“Ah, you’re finally back.”

When I got home that day, Sakura was cooking in the kitchen for some reason.

“What are you doing?”

“Mom is going to be late because of work. I was lonely by myself.”

“I see.”

When I put my bag in the living room and tried to help Sakura, she waved me away.

“Go take a bath first. I went through the trouble of filling it, so don’t let the water get cold. Take your time. I think dinner will be ready by the time you’re out of the bath.”

“Oh, okay…”

Unusually, Sakura doesn’t complain. On the contrary, she’s being considerate of me. I’m sure it’s because of the after-party dance, but this feels so different from Sakura’s usual self that it’s upsetting.

Still, I took the bath leisurely as Sakura requested, and when I got out, Sakura was busily arranging the food on plates.

“Phew…”

She seems to be learning how to cook from Shiori and Noa, but she’s still not very good. I didn’t want her to get burned or hurt, so I decided to help her, even if it meant she might complain.

“…Just sit down.”

“It’s fine. Let me help a little, okay?”

“…Thanks.”

As we were arranging the food and finishing it up in the small kitchen, Sakura looked at me and started sniffing.

“What? I washed properly.”

“No, it’s just… I like the smell.”

“…I see.”

The contrast between her usual prickly attitude and this softer side of her really hit me. I’ve been trying my best to stop my cheeks from smiling for a while now.

And so, I ended up having dinner with Sakura. Sakura stared at me as I ate, and whenever I told her it was delicious, she’d smile with such joy and innocence.

This was so different from her usual self, it was almost too much. She was so cute that I didn’t know how to handle it. As I was thinking about this, Sakura suddenly became more shy.

“…Does it really not suit me?”

Seeing Sakura ask with a worried look on her face, I replied, trying to tell her what I really thought,

“It’s not that at all… It’s just that you’re so cute, my heart’s been racing.”

“Really?”

“Really. And the food is really delicious. I’m so happy to have a girlfriend like you.”

“Ehehe… That’s good to hear~”

Sakura smiled again and crawled over to my side on all fours.

“…Sometimes, it’s nice to do things like this, don’t you think?”

“Yeah, I guess. But I like the usual Sakura too.”

“…Well, I guess Reo-san is a pervert who gets excited when being insulted~”

“And who’s the one dating this pervert?”

“…Shut up, dummy.”

Sakura started to get embarrassed by my retort, and as usual, she punched me lightly in the side. She was still cute, so I decided to continue.

“Is the honest mode over already?”

“…You like this side too, don’t you, pervert? And I wasn’t being honest. I was just acting like that to see if it would make you happy, Reo-senpai.”

“Oh, I see, it was just an act… That’s sad…”

“?!! Ah… I mean, it was an act, but… my feelings are real!! It’s just the way I said it… yeah! That was the act!! Yes, that’s it!!”

“That could be an act too… Sakura, you’re good at that…”

“Mouu! Don’t be mean! I was doing my best, you know! You idiot! Pervert! Five-timing jerk!!!”

“I knew it…”

“Shut up!!! Idiot, idiot, idiot!!!”

Perhaps because of the backlash from her earlier honest mode, Sakura’s face turned bright red, and she continued to playfully punch me after that.

T/N: No way Noa gets first since she’s the newest. I won’t stand for it. Anyway, Sakura’s too cute!!!!
