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 79 - The Heroines’ Resolves 2

Chapter 79 – The Heroines’ Resolves 2

Monday, October 21st.

I was on my way to school chatting with Nanami as usual.

“I’m looking forward to next month’s cosplay event… The costume for Sakura-chan is almost done… Ehehe…”

“I get it, but what about the culture festival? Are you sure you’re not overdoing it?”

“It’s fine! I could make costumes forever!”

Our class’ performance at the culture festival is a haunted house. And Noa recommended Nanami to be in charge of the ghost costume.

“Ehehe. I’ll show you the ultimate haunted house that combines coolness, cuteness, and scariness…”

“…I’m looking forward to it.”

Nanami has gotten used to the class more than before, and she’s no longer timid when talking to our classmates. Even now, during the preparation period, she’s working hard and having fun, being at the center of everything along with Himezaki.

By the way… It seems that Nanami will also participate as a ghost on the day, and she will be dressed as a bloody nurse. This is going to plant another crazy fetish in me.

“Oh, right, Reo-kun.”

“Hmm, what is it?”

As we continued to walk leisurely to school, Nanami seemed to remember something, and she spoke with a bit of embarrassment.

“You know, I’m thinking about becoming a streamer.”

“Pftt!!”

“Reo-kun?!”

I was so caught off guard by her sudden statement that I couldn’t help but burst out laughing. Seeing my reaction, Nanami looked surprised and started to panic, but I quickly apologized, saying, “Sorry, I’m fine,” and calmed down to listen to her.

“So, by ‘streamer,’ do you mean… showing your face?”

“No, no, no! I could never do something as embarrassing as showing my face!”

Nanami looked around restlessly, thought for a moment, and then told me the details in a voice that only I could hear.

“Well… I can’t go into details yet, but… do you know what a V-tuber is?”

“I know, but… Are you serious?”

“…It’s with a pretty big agency. I applied out of curiosity, and then… Well… somehow, things have been going really well…”

“Really…?”

Just to be sure, I asked to see the name of the agency, and it was a major one. I’m sure she’s not being tricked or anything like that.

“…So, if things go well… maybe soon? Something like that?”

“I don’t know what to say… That’s amazing, Nanami.”

Nanami also became a streamer in the game, so she really must have talent for that. But if that happens, there’s one thing I’m worried about…

“…Make sure to keep your work and personal phones and accounts separate.”

“That sounds like it comes from experience.”

“…Yeah, sort of.”

I don’t want to have that feeling again. I don’t want Nanami to get caught up in any incidents that would turn her high school years gray in an instant.

As I was reminiscing about the past and gazing blankly at the beautiful autumn sky, Nanami began to speak proudly.

“If I earn a lot of money with this, maybe…we can all start living together sooner in the future.”

“It’s inevitable that there will be a backlash if people find out we all live together.”

“Then everyone should be considerate. I’m supposed to be the top earner, after all.”

Nanami said that jokingly but then slyly held my hand. When I realized, I turned to look at her, and she gazed up at me over her glasses with an expectant look.

“Could it be that you don’t want me to be anyone else’s number one? I mean, you’re pretty possessive, aren’t you, Reo-kun?”

In response to Nanami’s spiteful question, I squeezed her hand tighter and said,

“Yeah, I’d hate that. But as long as I’m your number one, it’s perfect.”

“…!!! Don’t say stuff like that with a straight face…!”

My retort made Nanami blush so much that I thought her face would go on fire. Staying as we were, we walked to school holding hands.

……

…

During lunch break that day. I stopped by the library for work and found Shiori studying alone in silence.

“Shiori-senpai. Good work.”

“Huh? Ah, Reo, it’s you… I thought it was someone else because they were using honorific language.”

“I thought you wanted me to use honorific language at school?”

“…It feels a bit strange.”

After finishing my work for the student council, I sat down next to Shiori and called out to her. Shiori put down the pen she was holding and we decided to take a break together.

“You don’t need to use formal language. Not anymore, anyway.”

“…Okay.”

It’s been a while since I’ve talked to Shiori at school. We spent a lot of time together over the summer break, but since she started seriously studying for her entrance exams, I hesitated to approach her.

“How’s the student council? Are you having fun?”

“It’s more fun than I thought it would be. It’s also busier than I thought, though.”

“It’s only when there’s a special event. It’ll be over soon.”

We spent a relaxing time alone in the library. I took a quick look at her workbook, but I didn’t understand it at all. I was once a university student too, but… I guess her level is different from the school I went to.

“So, Reo. Do you want to apply here too?”

“No, I’ll pass. Even if I get in, I’m not sure I can keep up.”

“Don’t be so modest. I can teach you.”

“You’re the one who overestimates me. I’m going to go to a university that suits my abilities.”

Shiori laughed at my pathetic answer and said, “I’m rooting for you,” and suddenly kicked my toe.

“…What?”

“…I’m so happy to have you sitting next to me. It’s like we’re in the same year, right?”

“You’re surprisingly into that kind of thing, Shiori.”

“Yeah, I like it. Especially since it’s you.”

“…Is that so?”

To hide my embarrassment, I lightly kicked Shiori’s toe. Then, Shiori kicked back as if to fight back, and a childish battle ensued under the table.

“Hey, Reo.”

In the middle of that fight, Shiori suddenly spoke to me in a serious tone.

“How about living together once I graduate?”

“…That’s so sudden.”

“You don’t want to?”

“It’s just a bit abrupt… Besides, where are you going to live?”

“Of course, at Reo’s place. I’ll pay rent. One bed should be enough, right? I’ll be fine as long as you make a little space for me. Also…”

Shiori gently stepped on my toes, leaned in close, and whispered seductively.

“You can do me anytime.”

“…Is this something a police officer’s daughter would say? You’re not trying to use that as an excuse, are you?”

“Fufu… It’s up to you, Reo.”

Shiori removed her foot from me and started to put away her workbooks and notebooks.

“Well, that was a joke. But I’m serious about living together. I’ve mentioned it to my parents, too. The rest depends on your answer. We’re going to live together eventually, so think of this as a rehearsal.”

As she said this, she put away her study materials, turned to me again, and spoke to me with a serious look on her face.

“I’ll ask for your answer this weekend. I don’t think you’d be swayed by something like this at this point.”

“…Well, I’ll think about it.”

“Thanks. See you later, Vice-President. Keep up the good work.”

“Yeah. You too.”

Shiori gave me a nod and stood up, quickly leaving the library. Left behind, I did some thinking about the upcoming after-party for a bit before heading back to the student council room.
