The Kansai Villain’s Rebirth: I Accidentally Ended Up With a Harem. - Chapter 59: Kansai Boy and Her, Sey Just Can’t Help Wanting To Be Doted On.

Kansai Boy and Her, Sey Just Can’t Help Wanting To Be Doted On.

“Alright, alright! I’ll go make dinner. You like karaage, right? Well then, I’d better put my heart into it!”

“Yay! Mom’s karaage is amazing! I can’t wait!”

What even is this place? Forget surrounding me — I’m already under siege like Bitchuu-Takamatsu Castle in a flood attack. There’s nothing left but to wave a white flag… And her mom… she’s smiling, but her eyes ain’t. Those are the eyes of someone who’s not letting me leave tonight… I got no choice but to behave.

“S-Sorry to trouble you… I’ll gratefully accept…”

“Of course! Now, Mom has cooking to do! Mio! Take Daiki-kun to your room and show him around!”

“Okay!”

What is this… I feel like a gazelle thrown into a predator’s den. There’s no escape.

“Come on, come on!”

Mio-san grabbed my hand and dragged me along into her room without giving me any room to resist. She told me to wait while she changed. A few minutes later, the door opened—she stepped out in a dress-like hoodie and leggings. Cute. Real cute. Fits her small build perfectly.

“Ohh… that’s really cute.”

“Hehe♪ Thank you! Come in!”

That gloomy air she had earlier had completely vanished. She must’ve switched over, trying to act cheerful. Her eyes are still swollen though… That hurts to see. Still, I did as she told me and stepped inside. The moment the door shut—I felt a soft impact on my back.

“Whoa!”

Her arms wrapped around my waist. Mio-san… no, Mio-chan, was holding onto me. She was trembling.

“…Daiki-kun.”

“What’s wrong, Mio-san?”

“Thank you for today… If you hadn’t come… I think I would’ve stayed there crying forever…”

“I knew something was really wrong. I couldn’t just ignore that.”

“…I was happy. I couldn’t even tell whether I was crying because I was sad… or because I was happy that you came.”

Probably both. And now I understand something—Mio-san has a fragile heart. And she’s a crybaby. Though honestly, after what happened with that bento, anyone would cry… I want to protect her. That’s how it’s always been—even in the original story, I wanted to protect her. So coming to her side is only natural.

“If anything ever happens to you, I’ll always come running. I’ll protect you, Mio-san.”

“…! Daiki-kun! I… I get crushed so easily… I’ve always been a crybaby… I cry all the time…”

“Then just rely on me whenever you feel like you might break. If you’re crying, I’ll stay with you until you stop. I’ll always be here. So… Mio-san—no, Mio-chan. I… I’ve always liked you. Will you… please be my girlfriend?”

“Daiki…-kun!”

I turned to face her. Tears again. Damn it, I wanted to stop making her cry… but these aren’t sad tears, so maybe this is okay? Right?

“I… I know I’m small… everyone says I look childish… that I’m not attractive at all! But even so! Even so — I love you, Daiki-kun! I want to be with you! Please… let me be your girlfriend! Be my boyfriend!”

Not attractive? Who the hell told her that?

“What idiot looked at you and said you don’t have any charm?”

“Because I’m short… and they say I’m fat…”

“Fat where? You’re feminine and adorable. And your fashion sense is great. Even your crybaby side is cute. You’re so soft and cuddly I could hold you forever.”

“Eh—ah, uu…”

“You’re good at cooking, kind, cute, stylish… and you always give everything your all. That’s the Mio-chan I love. And we both… love each other.”

“Daiki-kun…!”

Before I knew it, she pushed me toward the bed, nearly pinning me down. That was gonna get dangerous real fast, so I braced myself upright. We ended up facing each other, holding one another close.

“I-I get so embarrassed when you say things like that…! But… is it okay… if I cling to you like this…?”

“Cling all you want. If you’ve been holding it all in, then rely on me even more.”

“Okay…! Okay! Ah… haa…”

I hugged her firmly—enough to reassure her without hurting her. She held tightly onto my back too. This small girl crying into my chest… I’m gonna protect her with everything I’ve got. Then she lifted her face.

“We’re… a couple now, right…?”

“That’s right. Thanks for becoming my girlfriend.”

“And… thank you for becoming my boyfriend…”

And we kissed. After that, I wrapped her up from behind in an embrace like the asunaro hug. She fit snugly in my arms, kicking her feet happily. So cute. My arms were overflowing with cute.

“Hey, Daiki-kun. I’m thinking… I want to start making lunch again starting next week.”

“Huh? You can take it easy and let your mom make it—”

“No… I want to make it. For you. Because… you say my food tastes good.”

“Well yeah. Your bento is delicious.”

“Hehe… so from now on, I want to make bentos for you. I don’t… have to make them for him anymore…”

Even if my anger toward Imamiyā hasn’t vanished, he really screwed up. He made Shina-chan furious… and now he’s lost Mio-chan’s trust… Who’s next? Maybe Rinko-san…

“Well then, I’ll look forward to it.”

“Yeah! I’ll do my best. What do you want in it? Karaage?”

“Hmm…”

This girl always gives everything. Even when she dated Imamiyā. Even when she was forced and manipulated by Tennouji in the original story. She gave and gave… only to be betrayed. But I…

“Well… once things settle down, how about we do that bento exchange you mentioned before?”

“Ah! Yes yes! Let’s do that! I wanna taste Daiki-kun’s lunch too!”

It shouldn’t be one-sided love. If she gives me love, I’ll give it back. We’ll walk forward together. And I want to keep seeing her smile like this—my cute girlfriend… just like Shina-chan…

“Mmmm♪”

She leaned her head against me. I ruffled her hair and she smiled all soft again. God, she’s adorable.

“Daiki-kun, am I heavy?”

“Not at all.”

“Hehe… Daiki-kun… mmmm♪”

She kept asking for kisses, and I couldn’t help kissing her over and over. What a spoiled sweetheart…

“Hey, Daiki-kun… I… I want to stay over at your place too…”

“Huh?”

“Shi-chan told me… she stayed over at your house. And… um…”

“Ah… yeah…”

Shina-chan really told her everything… That’s embarrassing…

“I want… with Daiki-kun… for the first time…”

Her face was red all the way to her ears. She gathered her courage, but got shy halfway through. Seriously… she’s too cute.

“Daiki-kun… let’s go on a date this Saturday? Mom has aquarium tickets, I think! Now that we’re lovers… I want our first real date…”

An aquarium, huh? Haven’t been in years. That actually sounds fun. Especially with her.

“Yeah. Let’s go. A date.”

“……! Mm! Let’s go on a date! And then… I’ll ask Mom… and then afterwards we can go to your house… and… then…”

“Y-Yeah…”

Her face was burning red… eyes watery… her soft lips so close… I couldn’t resist pulling her into another kiss.

“Nnh… Daiki-kun…”

No good. Something in her just switched on. She kissed me over and over—this is bad, her mom’s downstairs! Dammit, she smells so nice… If I just lean back, she’ll—

“Miooo! Daikii-kuuun! Dinner’s ready! Come on down!”

““!?””

We snapped back to reality, mortified.

“D-Dinner! It’s ready! L-let’s go!”

“Y-Yep! Let’s go!”

We scrambled downstairs in a panic. S-Safe…!
