The Villain Who Got Pinned Down Until He Ran Out Of Stamina ~ This Time I Raised The Protagonist's Affection Too Much And Everyone Fell For Me~

As I descended the stairs, I saw Mahiro waiting for me.

“Shall we go then?”

“Yeah…”

Following Mahiro, we stopped in a hallway near the chemistry lab where there was little foot traffic during lunch break.

“This place should be good since no one will come by. The next class is in a different room, and I thought it would be best to stay relatively close to the classroom.”

Mahiro faced me and said,

“Sorry for suddenly saying I needed to talk to you and bringing you out here. And thank you for accepting despite the short notice.”

“Ah, it’s nothing…”

“What’s wrong? Fufu, could it be that you’re nervous?”

“W-well…”

After all, I had the trauma of being straddled and beaten badly in the game… I wasn’t so much nervous as I was a bit scared.

Unaware of my thoughts, Mahiro continued.

“This is probably the second time I’m properly talking with you, Kasajima-kun.”

“For now, we’re conspicuous here with all these people around, so let’s move somewhere else.”

Come to think of it, the first time she had approached me had been during lunch break too. That time, Yuito had also been away from his seat. If that was the case, this time too must be a conversation that would be bad for Yuito to hear…

“…Could it be that you came to warn me to stay away from Yuito?”

I brought up the possibility that had occurred to me. After I finished speaking, we both fell silent. We were just standing in the hallway where only the faint voices of students could be heard.

As I nervously checked her expression…

“Ufufu, ha ha ha!”

Mahiro laughed elegantly, bringing her hand to her mouth.

“Huh? Uhh…?”

“Ah, I’m sorry. I couldn’t help it when you said something so strange. Do I look like such a cruel person to you?”

“W-well…”

Rather than cruel, in the game, I had repeatedly seen her Yandere side where she would do anything for Yuito…

“I have a fairly good eye for people too. First of all, you’re someone Yuito is getting along with. There’s no way I would say such a thing.”

“I see. So the reason you haven’t said anything about me being with Yuito so far is for Yuito’s sake.”

“That’s part of it, but it’s for your sake too. If you lost Yuito, you wouldn’t have anyone to talk to, right?”

“Well, that’s true…”

While Yuito had become my friend and I had grown attached to him, most of our classmates were probably afraid of me or didn’t have a good impression. In such a situation, if I lost Yuito too, I would go back to being alone. I might even stop attending school due to loneliness and become a shut-in… Though at that point, Hibari would probably somehow make me go to school.

“I wasn’t interested in you at first either.”

“You really say it straightforwardly, huh.”

“After watching you with Yuito for a while, I’ve determined that despite your appearance, you’re not a bad person. Rather, you’re being a good friend to Yuito.”

“Thank you for thinking that way.”

“No, no. It must be tough being misunderstood. But with that appearance, it can’t be helped.”

“Not even a word of encouragement?”

The Prince really spoke her mind. Well, since it was true, I didn’t feel like arguing.

“There’s no point in encouraging something that can’t be changed. Besides, what matters is what’s inside. If what’s inside is different, you can change a life that would otherwise be continually misunderstood based on appearances.”

“…!”

Those words pierced me deeply, whose inner self was different from the original Kasajima Yuji. It was exactly as she had said.

The words were so accurate that I could only stare at Mahiro.

Could she possibly have realized that my inner self was a different person… No, that was impossible. We had just met after all.

“We’ve gotten off track, sorry. When I said I had business with you, Kasajima-kun, it was because I have a small favor to ask of you.”

“Oh, that’s right, we haven’t gotten to the main point yet. A favor… is it something I can do?”

“It’s something simple.”

“Oh?”

Yuji thought that if it was something simple, she wouldn’t need to ask him specifically, but he didn’t question it and waited for her next words…

“I want you to—’secretly photograph’ Yuito during the forest school trip…”

“Are you crazy?! Rejected!!”

I immediately retorted. What was this Prince saying with such a pleasant smile… What a pervert! And don’t say “secretly photograph” so openly!!

Come to think of it, last time…

“Yuito talking with you is quite cute too. So please, capture that moment—”

Was that what she had been going to say?! Don’t go collecting flags!!

Mahiro put her finger to her chin and said with a serious face,

“I see, secret photography is problematic after all… even though hiding while taking pictures would better capture Yuito’s natural cuteness…”

“You’re talking like you’ve done secret photography before, but I’m not doing it!!”

“Ehh.”

Just when I thought she would give up after my immediate refusal–

“Can’t be helped. Then I’ll settle for photos of you two together.”

“…You’re just going to screenshot the part with Yuito and send the original photo to the trash, aren’t you?”

“You understand well.”

I immediately figured it out, but then again, there was such a scene in the game.

By the way, in the true route, Yuito’s ending was:

“Hey, Yuito… I love you so much, so why won’t you notice? If you won’t notice, then… I’ll just have to teach it to your body…♡”

A dense protagonist who ended up kidnapped and “educated”. It was similar to the villain Kasajima Yuji’s ending in that it both involved being kidnapped, but the difference was whether one got beaten up while being straddled or was violated sexually.

…Wait, was it just my imagination that neither option seemed enviable? This eroge must have been made to cater to Yandere-loving fans.

“Three photos would be enough. Could you give me some pictures with Yuito in them?”

“When it comes to Yuito, you really…”

“Want to hear why I’m attracted to Yuito?”

“No thanks. I can pretty much imagine.”

After all, I knew from playing the game all too well. Her way of falling in love was quite unique… but maybe I didn’t need to remember that now.

However, if I continued to refuse the photo request, it might upset her…

“If I were to give them to you, would you want them printed out?”

“No, I’d prefer them sent… Oh, that reminds me, we haven’t exchanged contact information. Here, this is the QR code for my contact information.”

“Wait…”

Without any hesitation, she opened her smartphone and held out the QR code.

“Are we exchanging contacts just for this?”

“Of course.”

She smiled as if it was obvious.

“…Sigh, alright. Just so you know, I’ll only send ones where everyone is in the picture.”

Reluctantly, I scanned the QR code with my smartphone and added Mahiro’s contact.

“Three is too many. At least… make it two.”

“I understand. If that’s not enough, I’ll manage somehow.”

“Don’t ‘manage somehow’!!”

After confirming that my contact was properly registered, Mahiro closed her smartphone with apparent satisfaction and said,

“That completes what I needed, so we’re done. Thank you for your time. I’m going to buy a drink downstairs.”

Waving her hand, Mahiro walked away. Once she was out of sight… I felt the tension leave my shoulders.

“Haaa~ That was nerve-wracking… So that’s what she wanted. In the end, it was something outrageous… But really, when it comes to Yuito, she’s thoroughly aggressive.”

As expected of one of the sisters who later turned Yandere and kidnapped the protagonist.

“~♪”

Mahiro walked in high spirits, humming a tune with her smartphone against her chin.

She reached the vending machine and bought a drink.

“Fufu, I’m glad I was able to exchange contact information smoothly.”

She looked at her smartphone and stared at the name “Kasajima Yuji” in her contacts.

“Well, he’s Yuito’s friend so there’s no need to be too cautious.”

“I wasn’t interested from the beginning~”

“We’re both correcting those words we said back then, aren’t we, Riina? We understand Yuito better than anyone. A person who fascinates Yuito this much… I can’t help but be interested. I’m looking forward to the forest school trip… right, both of you?”
