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~

Riina, wearing an apron over her baggy hoodie, immediately began cooking.

“What are you making?”

“Want to know the menu in advance? Well, that’s fine… Menchi-katsu.”

“Oh.”

Menchi-katsu was delicious, wasn’t it? I liked it. This should be good.

Since the table was positioned where I could see the kitchen, I peeked over and saw Riina taking out pre-made menchi-katsu mixture from the refrigerator. Each portion was carefully wrapped in plastic and sealed in ziplock bags.

After coating the menchi-katsu mixture with breadcrumbs and placing it in the oil, it made a pleasant sizzling sound. A savory aroma began to spread, and even though it was still too early for dinner, I was getting hungry.

“What’s in the mixture?”

“Mixed ground meat, onions. And in our house, we add carrots.”

“What do you put on the menchi-katsu?”

“The classic Worcestershire sauce is good, but we use ketchup.”

“And the side dish?”

“Just shredded cabbage.”

“I see.”

Dangerous… her preferences were a direct hit!!

“I see, so Riina-san is indeed a man-killer…”

“Huh?” “Ah, no, I meant in the sense that you capture men’s hearts with your cooking… Hey, don’t point that knife at me!”

It was scary! Especially since the villain Kasajima Yuji had that kind of weapon in the game!!

Making the beautiful sisters unhappy or angry was definitely scary…

And when the cooking was done…

“Here’s the menchi-katsu. The rice and egg soup are free for refills.”

“Oh!”

Looking at the completed dishes, my excitement grew again. Beautifully shaped, golden menchi-katsu covered with ketchup. The side dish was simply shredded cabbage. White rice and egg soup… This was definitely going to be delicious.

“Thanks for the food!”

“Please enjoy.”

I put my hands together and immediately bit into the menchi-katsu.

“Mm! Delicious!”

Fried food was definitely the best!! Inside the crispy coating was juicy meat. And since it had plenty of vegetables, it had a gentle flavor, resulting in a menchi-katsu that wasn’t too heavy.

“Mmm, mmm! This is incredibly delicious!”

My chopsticks couldn’t stop picking up the white rice. I drank the egg soup as a palate cleanser. Although it was simple with only egg as an ingredient, it had a comforting taste.

“Kasajima, you eat like you’re really enjoying it.”

“Really? When you eat something delicious, it shows on your face.”

Good food made people smile, after all.

“I think it’s nice that you properly say ‘thanks for the food’ and express that it’s delicious.”

“I think that’s just normal…”

It comes out naturally, and it was basic manners anyway.

“By the way, can I have seconds of rice and egg soup?”

I still had one and a half menchi-katsu left out of three when asking for seconds. My pacing was perfect, if I do say so myself.

“Ah, sure. I’ll get it for you.”

“Oh, thanks.”

Riina stood up and served me second helpings of white rice and egg soup.

I probably wouldn’t be able to eat dinner when I got home since I’d be full… I should contact Hibari in advance.

“Here you go, seconds.”

“Thank you. Munch munch…”

Yep, the second helping was delicious too.

“I’m thoroughly enjoying your thank-you meal.”

“I’m glad to hear that.”

In the end, I had three refills of rice. After the meal, I took a relaxing breath while drinking the coffee Riina had brewed.

“Thanks for the food. It was really delicious.”

“I’m glad you enjoyed it.”

Riina, who had finished washing the dishes, sat across from me and drank her tea.

“…”

Even though we’d started talking recently, there wasn’t much to discuss between me and Riina…

“Umm… should we talk about Yuito?”

Since I really had no topics, I brought up Yuito.

“Yui-kun is cool.”

“Oh.”

She took the bait immediately.

“Yuito is cute. Yes, the cutest in the world ♡.”

Unlike her sister Mahiro, Riina said that Yuito was cool. Hmm…

“Isn’t Yuito more on the cute side?”

“Yui-kun is cool.”

Oh. Her eyes showed that she wouldn’t budge on this point.

“For example, what makes him cool?”

“First of all, he doesn’t judge people by their appearance.”

“Thanks for specifically saying ‘first of all’. Ah, indeed. That’s definitely admirable.”

“So Kasajima is also after Yui-kun…”

“I meant it as respect for him as a man!!”

Why did I have to explain this! There was no way there was a romantic comedy between me and Yuito!

“Hmm. Whatever you say.”

“Come on. That’s not something to seriously consider.”

Really, her thoughts became dangerous when it came to Yuito. This topic could lead to an argument, so I should change it.

“What do you think about Mahiro-san?”

“As for my sister… She’s a rival in love. But I honestly respect and like her as a sister.”

“A rival, huh. That’s the impression I get when watching you two. Haha… Respect… Well, Mahiro-san is the perfect older sister who can do anything.”

“My sister isn’t exactly a perfect superhuman.”

“Is that so?”

Riina nodded, drank her tea, put down her cup, and said, “My sister used to be physically weak. She not only couldn’t do intense exercise, but at her worst, she could barely attend school.”

I couldn’t imagine that from the current Mahiro. Wait, was this… I felt like I’d heard this as Mahiro’s backstory in the game… or maybe not…

“Having seen her weakness in the past, when people say my sister is perfect now… it feels strange to me. It’s not something that can be summed up in just those two words.”

“I understand what you’re saying. Even Mahiro-san had her struggles.”

“Both my sister and I, Yui-kun too… and even you, Kasajima. We’ve all struggled with various things.”

“That’s true. And we’re still supposed to be young.”

“But our mental strength is being trained now, so it might be useful in the future.”

“True.”

As for me, coming to this game world had definitely trained my mental strength…

“By the way, you really are different when you’re with me compared to your usual self. The gap might give me a cold. I think it’s fine to be natural… I want to see the little devil side too.”

“What’s that supposed to mean? Pervert.”

“Call it a preference.”

Riina seemed both exasperated and slightly put off, but after clearing her throat–

“…Just for a moment. Kasajima, you pervert ♪. You lo-ser, lo-ser ♪.”

“No one asked for the sassy girl tone, but thanks for trying to fulfill my request.”

But that was pretty good… That provocative tone with a cat-like voice… ah, nice. Somehow endearing.

“Well, thanks for everything.”

Before I knew it, it was evening. Good thing Mahiro hadn’t come home yet.

“The food was seriously delicious. See you.”

“Yeah.”

After a brief conversation, I left the beautiful sisters’ house.

After Yuji left, Riina muttered while preparing dinner, “Why do I always end up talking too much when I’m with him…”

At the amusement park when they’d ran into each other, during the school camp, and just now… despite not being that close, she had somehow ended up talking to him.

And then…

“Stop getting in our way when we’re desperately trying to interact with everyone on equal terms!!!”

She kept remembering it whenever she calmed down. Even though he hadn’t said it specifically for her, it kept replaying in her mind.

He was just Yui-kun’s friend. Just someone in the same situation who was often misunderstood based on appearance.

The more she interacted with him, somehow…

“I wonder if there’s something appealing about Kasajima…”

About five minutes after walking from the beautiful sisters’ house, I called Hibari.

“Hello, Hibari. I’m heading back now.”

“Then I shall come to pick you up.”

“No, it’s fine. I’ll be there soon.”

“I see. Then I shall await your return…”

“What, the master is coming home?! That’s great!!”
