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~

I was cute.

When I walked by, most men would follow me with their eyes while faintly murmuring “cute…” under their breath.

I was popular.

I had received countless confessions and pick-up attempts, and talent scouts would approach me when I walked through town.

If only I was “popular because I’m cute…” If only it was that simple…

In middle school, my sister, who was in a different class, was well-liked throughout the school regardless of gender due to her friendly personality, cool appearance, and behavior.

Meanwhile, I, the younger sister… was alone in the classroom.

“Riina rejected another confession!”

“What!? I thought she’d put out right away if someone confessed!”

“Rejecting confessions with that erotic body? Maybe she has rape fantasies, lol!”

“Ugh. It’s that girl. She looks like a total slut…”

“She gets attention from the boys, but doesn’t she know most girls hate her?”

“No matter how cute she is, nobody wants to be like her~”

My chest pushing against my uniform. Plump thighs. A bottom slightly larger than others. For a middle school student, my body had developed too much. Just by appearance alone, I looked like an easy slut.

I wasn’t popular because I was cute.

I was… just being played with based on arbitrary interpretations of my appearance.

“Yuito. Hey, Yuito!”

“Mmm… mmm… hehe…”

This was hopeless. He was not waking up.

For a break, the bus had stopped at a service area. I tried to wake Yuito, who was sitting next to me, by shaking his shoulder… but he had such a happy expression like he was having a good dream and showed no signs of waking up.

With no other choice, I decided to take a break by myself and get off the bus.

“Ahh… sleeping once makes me even sleepier. I should buy some coffee…”

Maybe I’d buy some for Yuito too. I remember he’d said black coffee was too bitter, so I should get him milk tea instead.

Since it was early, the shops at the service area weren’t open yet, so I decided to buy drinks from a vending machine. Everyone seemed to have the same idea, as there was quite a line of students from our school at the vending machine next to the shop.

Finding it bothersome to wait in line and wanting to wake myself up, I decided to look for another vending machine.

“I’ll go a bit further ahead”

I kept walking, getting farther and farther away from the first vending machine.

“Oh, found one!”

In the end, I went all the way to the edge of the area. Just as I took out a 500-yen coin from my wallet—

“You were flirting with my boyfriend!!”

“Huh? What…?”

A loud voice suddenly rang out. It was very close, just around the corner of the building. I put my wallet back in my pocket and nervously peeked around the corner…

“I didn’t do anything like that.”

“Then why would my boyfriend confess to you when I’m right here?!”

“You should ask him that yourself—”

One was Riina. The other girl shouting was someone I hadn’t seen in my class, so she must be from another class.

They seemed to be arguing about something.

“Besides, your attitude pisses me off! That condescending attitude!”

“I’m listening to what you have to say properly. And responding accordingly. I even showed up when you called me out.”

“Shut up, shut up! The point is my boyfriend broke up with me saying he was going to date you!! You must have done something!!”

The girl was absolutely furious… Just from listening, I couldn’t tell if Riina had actually done anything.

As for Riina… She was calm. Almost as if she was used to this sort of thing.

Should I step in to stop them? The girl wouldn’t hit her out of anger, would she? But then again, if an outsider like me intervened, it might make things worse…

Just as I was about to stop peeking…

Tap…

“Ah, crap.”

As I moved my foot slightly, it hit something hard. Why was there a somewhat large rock in a place like this…!

Since there was a moment of silence in their conversation, the small sound echoed.

“Who’s there?!… Oh…”

She noticed me. But when the girl saw me… her face contorted.

Sorry for the scary face.

“…Tch”

The female student passed by me with a stern face. And then Riina, who had been watching her leave, made eye contact with me.

“Eavesdropping?”

“No way”

I answered reflexively… but yes, I was eavesdropping. I’m sorry.

Not knowing what to say… I went back to the vending machine, my original destination, and bought two drinks, one for Yuito and one for myself. By the time I was getting my change, Riina had come over.

“…I have some change left, would you like something to drink, Riina-san?”

“Pity?”

“Just being neighborly.”

When I responded as naturally as possible, Riina was silent for a few seconds. Then,

“I guess I’ll accept”

With those words, I put 160 yen into the vending machine. That should be enough for anything except energy drinks.

Looking at Riina, her usual energy was nowhere to be seen. She just stood there.

Right now, silence would be better than words of comfort.

“Pick whatever you like. See you later.”

I returned to the bus first.

About two hours after leaving school, the bus arrived at a lodging facility nestled in the mountains with abundant natural surroundings. This whole area was the main site for our school camp activities.

After putting our luggage in our pre-assigned rooms and changing into tracksuits, we gathered outside.

The first day of school camp would begin with hiking.

After various explanations, we changed into proper hiking boots that were provided by the lodging facility.

Hiking was done in groups. The members of our group were me, Yuito, Mahiro, and Riina—four people with strong personalities.

“Wow! Mahiro-chan, you got a new camera!”

“It’s a special occasion, after all. This is quite a good DSLR.”

“Wow~ I hope you can take lots of beautiful scenery photos!”

“Yes, I hope so too, hehe.”

I wondered what Mahiro was actually planning to photograph with that DSLR.

When I glanced at Riina, she was retying her shoelaces.

“Thanks for earlier.”

“Oh… s-sure…”
