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~ - Chapter 42: The Study Session Location Is The Villain's House

“Let’s have our study session at Kasajima’s house.”

Um… what was Riina saying? Maybe it was a joke to make fun of me.

“Riina-san. Today isn’t April Fool’s Day, you know?” 

“Is my suggestion that strange?” 

“Of course it is.”

Both in the game and now in reality. One of the beautiful sisters who only had eyes for Yuito suggesting a study session at my place? This was too much of a glitch. What on earth was her goal…?

“Riina. You shouldn’t decide on Kasajima-kun’s house without permission.” 

“Oh, Mahiro-san! That’s right, of course…!”

So the study session location should definitely be somewhere else…

“First, Kasajima-kun needs to get permission from his family.” 

“So you actually agree with having it at my house?” 

“Me too! I want to study at Kasajima-kun’s house too! It’ll be my first time visiting a male friend’s house… I’ve been dreaming about it! Ehehe!”

I was sure he was doing it unconsciously, but Yuito’s persuasiveness was incredible. It was too difficult to refuse…!

“Besides, we can’t really teach each other in a library where we need to be quiet, and at a family restaurant before it gets crowded… you know?” 

“Mahiro-chan and Riina-chan attract attention wherever they go, so we need somewhere private like a home to be able to study properly. Ahaha…”

From Yuito’s wry smile, I understood the reason why we needed to have the study session at someone’s home.

“But still, my house is…” 

“Yui-kun might be close with you, but my sister and I only talk to Kasajima occasionally, and we don’t completely trust him yet. If we invited him to our house, who knows what he might do…” 

“I wouldn’t do anything, but from your position, I can understand why you’d think that.”

The beautiful sisters must be more cautious around men because they were popular. And my current position was just Yuito’s friend—for the beautiful sisters, I was just an extra they had to deal with. From a trust perspective, I was probably no different from other guys. I did listen to Riina’s story, but… knowing her past, it probably made her more cautious.

“The same goes for Yui-kun’s house.” 

“What would I even do at Yuito’s room… But if you’re coming to my house, from my position, I could say the same thing. I don’t know what you all would do at my place.” 

“W-well…” 

“Fufu. Riina is saying complicated things, but she simply wants to visit Kasajima-kun’s house.” 

“Huh?”

Riina wanted to visit my house…? Why?

“Big sis?! T-that’s not it!” 

“Really? I thought it was the same as Yuito.” 

“Riina-chan wants to go to Yuji-kun’s house too! I want to go too!”

Somehow, the three of them started chattering away. At this rate, we’d never reach a conclusion…

“I understand the circumstances, and having the study session at my place is… well, fine.”

My room was spacious anyway. And at my own home, I wouldn’t be subjected to strange suspicions.

“Thank you, Kasajima-kun.” 

“T-thank you…” 

“Yaaay!”

Yuito raised his hands and celebrated exaggeratedly.

I’d need to tell Hibari about the study session.

I was about to ask when we should schedule it when…

“Kasajima!” 

“Ugh.” 

“What’s with that ‘ugh’ and that disgusted face!?”

As if he’d been eavesdropping, Tajima approached us. Next to him was Satoshima. They were guys I’d occasionally talked to since the school camping trip.

“Ahem. So, Kasajima—” 

“Rejected.” 

“We want to join the study session at your house too—” 

“Rejected.” 

“At least listen to what I have to say first!”

Tajima held his head and shouted. The number of noisy people had increased.

Those two had been briefly antagonistic mob characters in the game, but interacting with them revealed they did have personalities. Tajima was a jokester. His emotions were exaggerated and loud. Satoshima, on the other hand, was calmer than Tajima. He was not quite mature and cool, but he calmly retorted to the noisy Tajima.

Both of them thought I was not as bad a person as my appearance suggested.

“Why can’t we come?!” 

“Well, you see…”

I glanced at Riina. Tajima’s crush on Riina was what had triggered the lost gift money incident during the school camping trip. Apparently, he’d broken up with his girlfriend since then.

“That’s not an issue anymore.” 

“Huh?”

Noticing my glance toward Riina, Tajima gave me a thumbs up. So, did that mean he’d given up on Riina…?

“Kasajima. You always have that beautiful maid who picks you up, right?” 

“Yeah, I do… Wait, don’t tell me…!” 

“Introduce me to your maid—” 

“Satoshima, can I punch this guy?”

“Go ahead.” 

“Hey, wait, wait! Especially you, Satoshima! Support your friend’s new love!!” 

“No, your interests change too quickly, it’s off-putting.”

Apparently, Tajima fell in love easily. He probably fell for any pretty girl or beautiful woman right away.

“If you’re targeting my maid, that’s even more reason not to let you join the study session.” 

“Just one day! Please!” 

“A study session is not a matchmaking event.”

When I stated that firmly, Tajima started making a fuss again. Then, this time Satoshima spoke:

“His reason is trivial, but I’m asking you too, Kasajima.” 

“I’m asking you too, but can’t you take this guy with you instead?” 

“Sorry, but I can’t. If he’s rejected from the study session—” 

“If he’s rejected?” 

“He’ll whine during our study sessions and be extremely annoying… sigh…”

He had a face like he was biting into something bitter. So they had their own troublesome situation too.

“Yuji-kun…”

Looking to the side, I saw Yuito and the beautiful sisters watching me.

“Ah, sorry for leaving you out of the conversation. What do you three think?” 

“I don’t mind.” 

“Well…” 

“I’m fine with it too. Let’s all study together!”

Only Riina looked displeased. Well, she was almost like a victim caught up in this because of Tajima’s love at first sight. Maybe she’d developed an aversion to Tajima?

“W-well, I’ll be considerate of various things.” 

“In that case… Yui-kun. Protect me, okay?” 

“Huh? Um, sure.”

Yuito nodded without understanding what she meant.

“Yeaaaah!!” 

“Thank you, everyone.”

So Tajima and Satoshima would join the study session too… Including me, that made six people. It was going to be a lively study session.

“Next Saturday, we’ll be having a study session at our place. There will be six people including myself.”

I informed Hibari, who was washing dishes after dinner.

“Is it because midterm exams are approaching?” 

“That’s right.” 

“I deduce it’s because your quiz scores were disastrous.” 

“Bingo. By the way, please don’t ask about my score.” 

“It was a single digit, wasn’t it? I understand.” 

“I wish you hadn’t figured that out…”

Hibari was sharp…

“What will you do on the day of the study session, Hibari? Will you go out?” 

“No. I’ll stay at home.” 

“I see. But feel free to go out if you want to.” 

“Understood.”

Well, now that the conversation was over, time for my daily sit-ups, back exercises, push-ups…

“Yuji-sama.” 

“Hm?” 

“About that… No, it’s nothing.” 

“I see.”

If she said it was nothing, I wouldn’t press the issue.

While Yuji was taking a bath after finishing his workout, Hibari, having finished washing the dishes, murmured, “The beautiful sisters… they’ll be coming too, won’t they? Yuji-sama inviting women other than me into the house… I never thought about that possibility before.”
