Reincarnated as the Promiscuous Protagonist in a Netori Game, Only to Find the Heroine, My Step-Sister, Already Threatened to Be a Submissive Slave~ Liberating the Slave and Planning to Leave Home, Yet Unexpectedly Becoming Loved by My Step-Sister~ - Chapter 6 - Classmates
Chapter 6 – Classmates
When I stepped into the classroom, I felt a chill in the air as my classmates looked at me.
Takuma is a delinquent student with bad behavior.
He is a bossy figure who is loved by some of his more reckless friends, but is thoroughly disliked and avoided by the more serious students.
Takuma probably enjoyed that situation, but…
It’s so uncomfortable that I already want to go home. I miss the peace of the Tsukishiro family.
However, in the third year, there are several students who have been hurt and humiliated. They seem to be consciously avoiding Takuma.
Then, one of my classmates smiled and waved at me.
“Oh, Takuma-kun? What’s up~”
Nakamura Yuuto.
I guess you can say he’s a friend of Takuma’s. Although he is a good-natured man, he often takes part in Takuma’s misdeeds. He is a womanizing little rascal.
I responded by raising my hand lightly.
To be honest, I don’t want to get involved too much with him, but I decided not to stir up trouble at the moment.
When I sat down on my seat, Yuuto came up to me like a dog wagging its tail.
“It’s unusual for you to arrive at school in the morning! Did you not hook up with a girl yesterday?”
“…Well, yeah.”
So this is really what they usually talk about…
I expected no less…
“Heh, so Takuma-kun has days like that, too.”
“Sometimes that happens…”
I kept the conversation to a minimum.
“Ah, yeah, Takuma-kun. We’re having a mixer this weekend, you’ll come, right?”
“What? A mixer?”
“Well, I mean a mixer, but actually it’s just for hooking up. If Takuma-kun isn’t there, it won’t really kick off! All the girls coming are interested in Takuma-kun! Please, come on! You’ll come, right?”
He put his hands together and begged.
A mixer, huh… I’ve never been to one, but I remember it as Takuma’s experience.
Well, as Yuuto put it, it’s more like a hookup party disguised as a mixer, or you could call it a wild party with alcohol and drugs.
If I report it, it could be a quick solution, but I could be caught as well…
So now there’s only one choice for me to make.
“Sorry, I’m not going.”
“E-EH!? Seriously!? Did you have some kind of prior engagement!? This is bad, really bad.”
“No, I’m quitting that kind of thing.”
“Heh? What do you mean?”
“I said I’m quitting. I’m stopping messing around with women.”
“What are you talking about, Takuma-kun!? We’re only 17! We’re in our prime for fun! Women are meant to be embraced!”
Yuuto screamed loudly and clung to me. He said a statement I couldn’t understand. His sense of ethics is bankrupt.
Metaphorically speaking, he may have originally been a mob character designed that way. And that’s really pitiful, but I don’t like it when he makes a fuss in the classroom.
“Shut up…”
Eh?
…Huh? Did I…just say that?
The classroom was icy with the low, heavy, irritated voice that came out of my mouth.
“Eh? T-Takuma-kun? A-Are you angry?”
“N-No…”
It was completely unconscious. It’s true that I felt annoyed with Yuuto, but not to the extent of going out of my way to put it into words.
It was as if someone else’s feelings were being forced upon me…
“A-Anyway, don’t get involved with me anymore.”
“N-No way! Takuma-kun! We’re friends, aren’t we!”
Yuuto sensed that I had lost my anger and clung to me, but it didn’t last long.
“——Hey! What’s with the fuss in the morning!”
A classmate with slightly bluish black hair interrupted the conversation.
“……”
She never even appeared in any of the games I ever played. Literally, this is a story I don’t know anymore.
But I still knew her from Takuma’s memories.
“Hiii! You’re the head of the public morals committee! I-I’m going to the bathroom! See you later, Takuma-kun!”
Yuuto left like the wind.
“Ah, wait, Nakamura Yuuto! …Seriously, he’s so quick to run away!”
The strict head of the public morals committee—Minase Rion. A natural enemy of delinquents like Takuma and Yuuto.
“Well, it’s fine. You’re still here.”
Having given up on pursuing Yuuto, Minase turned towards me.
Looking at her again, she is quite a beautiful girl.
Tsumugi is said to be the most beautiful girl in the school, but Minase is just as beautiful.
She has an outstanding style, with a body that shows off her figure very well. Her slanted eyes exude a dignified and mature charm.
“I heard something about a mixer?”
“Ah, well, um…”
Takuma would usually laugh it off no matter how much Minase pursued him. He would smoothly derail the conversation and move into a gentle and persuasive approach.
He must have liked her a lot, she was beautiful. He even had moments where he thought of her as his own. There are even memories of them going on a date almost spontaneously.
The relationship between the two cannot be summed up in one word, but there is no doubt that Minase hates Takuma.
“Yes, Yuuto did say something like that.”
“The same as ever, that man…!”
“Well, yeah. But I declined.”
“…I heard that too.”
Her eyes pierced me. She’s trying to find out my true intentions.
“Did you eat something strange? Have you gone mad?”
“Well, I actually think it’s the other way around. I believe things have become more normal now…”
“Hmm?”
I’m still under suspicion. This is normal. Tsumugi’s response was the stranger reaction.
“I don’t believe you. You’re just a scumbag for life. Scum can’t be cured even if they die.”
“That’s fine for now. I’ll prove it over time.”
“…Is that so?”
Minase abruptly turned on her heel.
I reached out to stop her, my hand lightly grazing the swaying back of her black hair.
“Ah, Minase. I want to ask you one question.”
“What?”
“Minase, you did volunteer work or something like that, didn’t you?”
“What about it?”
“I thought I’d like to be part of it.”
“…Suspicious…”
I agree. But it’s the first step towards getting rid of my playboy image.
“I will contact you when the next schedule comes.”
Minase sighed as she said that.
“—Also…”
“Hmm?”
“It’s bouncing, your hair.”
She turned halfway and pointed to my head.
“Eh, seriously?”
“…Well, um, your face at least looks…decent. But, um, take care of your personal appearance properly. Got that!?”
“Y-Yeah…”
“Hmph.”
After saying so, Minase returned to her seat as if she was running away for some reason. She seemed to be very angry and her face was bright red.
“What was that…?”
I tried to hold my hair down, but it bounced right back up again when I took off my hand.
“Hah…”
After going to the restroom and fixing my bed-hair, the tension finally broke and I relaxed…
Talking to Yuuto was one thing, but talking to a girl who was hostile towards me was even harder. I felt exhausted.
By the way, Minase said she would get in touch with me, does that mean she’ll send a message on my phone?
Knowing Takuma, he must have already got the contact information for all the girls he was interested in…
“I need to get a new smartphone after all.”
It’s a must-have item since I’m going to live a high school life…
