Returned from Another World, Earth Turned Out to Be Quite the Fantasy Too. Also, Losing Heroines, Stop Looking This Way. - Chapter 73

Chapter 73: “Isn’t it time for a conclusion?” ③

“Yuto, kun?”

Surprised, Anzu looked at Yuto, who smiled at her gently.

Upon entering middle school and interacting with girls more frequently, Yuto came to understand his own peculiar condition clearly.

For reasons unknown, the more he touched them, the more the girls tended to fall for him.

A mere touch of skin was enough to kindle fondness, and the longer the contact, the stronger the affection grew.

Kissing would amplify the effect significantly, and anything beyond that was self-explanatory.

Of course, he learned that other efforts were important too, so he always wore a smile for the girls, whispered words he didn’t mean, and embraced them solely to express his desires. 

He praised them, whispered that they were the best, and even cried, claiming he couldn’t live without them. As a result, more and more girls began to prioritize Yuto, cooperating and taking action for his sake.

Even if they tried to harass Natsuki, it had no effect.

Thus, he concluded that causing him direct suffering was the only option left.

“I was worried because you haven’t been coming to school. I kind of understand the situation. It’s Natsuki’s fault. He should respond to your sincere feelings.”

“…Yuto-kun.”

Anzu murmured as Yuto sat down on the swing next to her and reached out to stroke her hair. 

Seeing her move away slightly in displeasure, he oddly confirmed that her affection for him had vanished.

However, he understood Anzu’s personality well.

She was essentially attention-seeking, with a princess complex, believing she should always be the priority and unable to accept anything less than what she desired.

“To tell you the truth, I was worried and have been watching over you, Anzu.”

“Eh?”

“You went to Natsuki’s house this morning, right? It would have been nice if Natsuki had been more accommodating, especially since Anzu made the effort to reach out. He’s so stubborn.”

“Yeah.”

“Kazuto is also useless and a disgrace as a brother.”

Of course, his claim of watching over her was a lie. However, knowing Anzu’s personality, he had anticipated that she would not stay put and would visit Natsuki. He had also noticed Kazuto leaving in a hurry, which led him to suspect something involving Anzu and watch from a distance.

“I think Natsuki is entirely to blame. You haven’t done anything wrong, Anzu.”

“Yes, I know.”

“Of course. I want you to be happy, to find happiness with the person you love.”

“Yuto-kun… could it be?”

“If it’s okay with you, I’ll help. Natsuki is my best friend, after all. Even though he’s being stubborn now, I’ll try to persuade him to open his heart to Anzu.”

“Yuto-kun, thank you! You really are reliable.”

“Hahaha, of course. But, you know, I want something in return.”

“What?”

Anzu asked, confused and slightly anxious that Yuto might demand something inappropriate from her.

However, Yuto, still smiling, voiced his desire. 

“You see, I’m curious about the people close to Natsuki.”

Though he didn’t know their names, he had noticed a strikingly beautiful blonde woman, a charming woman, and a man who looked like he’d stepped out of a painting, all in Natsuki’s company.

What caught his eye above all was the woman possessing a beauty that not even models or celebrities could rival—Koume. 

“It wouldn’t be pleasant for you either, Anzu, to have other women beside Natsuki, right?”

“―Yeah. Anzu doesn’t like anyone other than Anzu being beside her brother.”

“That’s why I want your cooperation, Anzu. Let me drive those women away from Natsuki. I’ll woo them, and you can take that opportunity.”

Yuto was confident in his plan.

He was sure that if he could just make a contact, he could make them develop an interest in him. All he needed to do was to let momentum do the rest. The more he deepened his relationships, the stronger the affection would become.

As far as Yuto knew, he had never seen Natsuki so open with the opposite sex. In that case, his only option was to take them away.

Ginko, another woman of Japanese descent, was beautiful but lacked the refinement Yuto preferred. However, Koume was different. Beyond the desire to take her from Natsuki, a bubbling urge to possess her for himself emerged. 

“Will you help me, Anzu?”

“― I knew you were thinking something like that!”

Yuto and Anzu were left speechless.

It was no surprise, considering they had heard Natsuki’s voice when he shouldn’t have been there.

Turning around, they saw Natsuki, his expression colored with disgust.

“There’s no way I’d let you do as you please! Take this, hero punch!” 

Natsuki’s right fist connected with Yuto’s right cheek.

〜〜Afterword〜〜

Next time, a conclusion to Yuto’s story (he won’t die). 

Due to personal matters, I will be taking a break from responding to comments today. 

Thank you for your understanding.
