The Dual Swordsman Who Lost Both Arms On Stream to Save His Doomed Party Gets Exiled—Then the Heroines Go Yandere

Chapter 31: The Gal Heroine Pretends to Fall Into the Trap

――――【From Misato’s Perspective】(Right Before Soma’s Summon)

That Alicia… she really quit labyrinth exploration school…

Before, she often worried alone and brooded a lot, giving off that classic unlucky beautiful girl vibe. And yet, in the school cafeteria, she was the only one agonizing over what to eat, and I thought this girl really lacks decisiveness. But now, there’s no trace left of the old her.

Alicia changed after meeting Nezha.

When I saw the message she sent me, I couldn’t help but laugh.

《I won’t hesitate anymore. I finally know who I really like. Are you still hesitating, Kakehi-san?》

She straight-up provoked me…

《Bring it! I’ll take you on.》

I fired back in seconds. I’ve got things I won’t give up too.

What would Dad and Mom say?

If I quit labyrinth exploration school…

『If Misato found something she can burn with passion for again, I won’t say a word. Just charge ahead.』

『I’m glad you found something to devote yourself to again after quitting ballet and going wild.』

When I told them at middle school graduation that I was going to labyrinth exploration school, my parents were shocked but super happy at the same time.

I feel a little guilty, but staying in labyrinth exploration school like this won’t lead to anything good.

Lemon probably can’t transfer because of her family issues… But switching parties should be fine. Plus, we rebelled against Soma. He probably doesn’t even want to keep us in the party forever anyway.

I was thinking about starting the transfer procedures when it happened.

Soma summoned me, and I thought it was perfect timing. A chance to tell him directly that I’m leaving the party.

But I never imagined Rui would be there…

“What did you do!?”

“W-what is this?”

“You know I have deadly poison skills, right? If you go against me, those chokers will inject instant-death level neurotoxin into you two. If you don’t want to die, follow my orders. Otherwise, you won’t see your beloved Nezha-senpai anymore.”

Amiro Rui… Soma’s cousin, a trashy woman who gets anything she wants by any means. That Rui was my junior from my ballet days.

When I was in middle school and already a prima ballerina, Rui approached me as a cute junior.

『Senpai, good work today~』

With a big smile, Rui handed me a towel. After sweating through lessons and feeling tired, that thoughtfulness really touched me.

Rui trained almost as hard as me, but since she was a cute junior, I felt it wasn’t right to slack off, so I kept the prima spot.

Rui didn’t show it on her face, but she must have been frustrated. I never thought she’d use such dirty tricks to steal the prima position from me.

It happened when I was in second year middle school.

『Eh? Our place got flamed because of Baitero?』

A stupid part-timer’s video of playing with food spread, and Dad’s franchise company got flooded with bad reviews blaming poor supervision. The ratings hit rock bottom.

Dad kept going around apologizing until he collapsed from stress, and without him as president, the business tanked. In the end, we had to sell the stores with tears…

After that, I couldn’t focus on ballet anymore.

Dad and Mom wanted me to keep doing ballet even if they suffered for it…

But even that wasn’t allowed.

『Misato-senpai hated me getting stronger, so she hid my shoes, or put thumbtacks in them sometimes, or dirtied my precious tutu…』

Rui tearfully complained in front of the ballet teacher and students.

『Huh? What are you saying! I never did that!』

I pleaded my innocence to the teacher, but…

『Kakehi-san, it’s unfortunate, but other girls said they saw you bullying Amiro-san…』

The classmates who once praised me as a genius prima now shot sharp glares at me, and no one listened to me.

When the teacher demoted me from prima, Rui—who should have been crying—looked at me and smirked…

Realizing I had no place there anymore, I went completely wild, but I hadn’t decided on high school… or even if I’d go, when I met a weird old guy.

『I was wrong, forgive me!』

『Huh? Bunch of rude punks trying to drag a girl who says no—stay down here.』

He was giving private punishment to idiots trying to abduct a girl under the guise of picking her up.

Just as my kick was about to hit the side of the head of the kneeling guy begging forgiveness, a strong impact hit my shin with a thud. The vibration buzzed through my bone, then pain slowly spread. A stranger old guy protected the scum and blocked with his arm.

『If you’re unhappy with the world, there’s a place where you can rage more.』

Short black hair, handsome older guy… Now that I think about it, he kinda resembled Hinata somewhere?

『Huh? You a martial arts scout? I don’t do fighting.』

『Haha, with you now, it’s obvious martial arts wouldn’t satisfy you. Plus, you couldn’t get revenge on the Amiro family with that.』

『Old man… are you my stalker? I’ll turn you in to the police…』

『Wait wait! Hear me out to the end.』

As the old guy tried to calm me, the punks took the chance to run from the alley.

『Now’s our chance to bail!』

『Ah! Wait!』

『It’s fine. Police are waiting beyond the wall. They’re no different from cornered rats.』

Just like the old guy said, the punks got caught by police.

『If you want to make your junior regret it, go to labyrinth exploration school. It’s a waste to let fighting sense like yours rot. Plus, I think your parents could get help from streaming revenue. Well, whether you go is up to you… See you if fate allows.』

『Wait, old man. Tell me more.』

I got info about labyrinth exploration school from the old guy as he tried to leave.

With that background, I showed off my ballet-trained kick in the interview and easily passed the supposedly tough labyrinth exploration school. From day one, Soma scouted me.

『Amiro Soma. You’re a hot girl. Wanna be my fuck buddy?』

『Huh? What nonsense? Save dreams for sleep, delusional jerk.』

He sexually harassed me with his amateur model-level looks and ego, so I flipped him off in anger.

I wondered about the Amiro name then, but since he was a guy I didn’t need to deal with, I ignored it.

After that, Soma kept pestering me to join his party or become his girl and he’d let me do whatever, with crappy invitations…

『Whoa, close! What the hell! You bitch!』

『Who’s the bitch! I told you stay away, remember, you birdbrain with less than 1 gram of brain!』

I aimed a roundhouse kick when he approached grinning, but he dodged at the last second.

The days of annoying invitations from Soma continued, but I had no intention of joining any party. Because I thought Hinata would make one for me…

But my lifesaver Hinata got tricked by Soma’s acting and joined his party, so I unwillingly joined too.

――――Dungeon Layer 1.

“I won’t ask you to take down Hinata or anything harsh. Just yell ‘Help me!’ to him once. It’s a simple plea anyone can do.”

“Why do you hate Hinata so much? Even after you framed him, he never said a bad word about you.”

“Huh? Nezha stole my important things! Alicia, you, Lemon, and others! Every girl I want, he takes. How is that forgivable?”

“Idiotic… It’s just that Hinata’s more attractive than you.”

“I’m from the Amiro family that rules this country! Elite among elites, super elite!!!」

“Hah… Aren’t you embarrassed saying that? Guys like you who think you’re chosen are just hard for commoners like us to deal with. Get that, idiot.”

“Hey, Rui. Shut this cheeky bitch slave up.”

“Big brother, wanting sex in the dungeon is hilarious.”

“Wrong! Just shut her smart mouth.”

“Fufu, no lying. I saw big brother banging his new fucktoy in the dungeon.”

“Rui… you want your mouth stuffed with mine?”

“Heh, can big brother’s tiny thing violate Rui’s mouth? Hehe.”

“Damn! You guys, stop dealing with Rui and hurry ahead.”

Soma thinks since Rui put the instant-death poison collar on me, I’m completely under control. Rui looks pleased that I can only talk back. But you know, I’ve learned acting since then too.

Rui… you’re a pathetic one.

I wanted you to take the prima spot from me fair and square, with real skill. Without weird tricks…

This time, you’ll definitely lose to me.

If the vanguard of an S-rank party dropped from a mere human-lethal dose of poison, she couldn’t do the job.
