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 52: The Villain's Summer Begins

—At the same time, at the Sumino household.

“Thanks for the meal. Whew, it was delicious today too, Riina.” 

“Thank you.”

Riina and Mahiro had just finished dinner. Today’s menu was hamburger steak.

“I’ll do the dishes. Riina, you go take a bath.” 

“Okay.”

Riina went upstairs to get her change of clothes, then headed toward the bathroom.

After a while, Mahiro finished washing the dishes and took out a bottle of tea from the refrigerator.

“Oh? It’s gone…”

Mahiro seemed to notice something while looking in the refrigerator.

“I was certain there would be pork cutlets today… where on earth did they disappear to?”

The closing ceremony for the first semester. It marked a temporary break from school life, as well as the arrival of “summer vacation”, the biggest event in student life.

After listening to the principal’s speech in the humid gymnasium and finishing homeroom in the classroom:

“It’s summer vacation! Yahoo!!”

The class was in high spirits, including the loudest student, Tajima.

“Yuji-kun!”

Today even Yuito was in an elevated mood.

“Summer vacation starts today! What are you going to do during the break, Yuji-kun?” 

“Let’s see. For starters, I’d like to go to a pool or the beach.” 

“I want to go too!” 

“Then shall we go together?” 

“Is that okay?” 

“Of course. We’re friends, after all.” 

“Yeah!”

While Yuito nodded with a beaming smile, I noticed the girls approaching from behind. I was getting used to this development now.

“Hey, Yuito, Kasajima-kun. You seem to be having a fun conversation.” 

“Kasajima is being unfair, monopolizing Yui-kun.”

“Heh, it can’t be helped. I am Yuito’s male friend, after all.” 

“That smug face is so annoying~!” 

“What are Mahiro-chan and Riina-chan doing for summer vacation?” 

“I’ll go anywhere as long as it’s with Yuito.” 

“I want to go to the beach! Yui-kun, help me pick a swimsuit ♪.”

“Then let’s all go to the beach!”

Looking around, I could see classmates who wanted to invite the beautiful sisters glancing in our direction, given the special occasion of summer vacation… but the good atmosphere between the three that kept others away made it difficult for them to approach. As for me, I’d already built up immunity to this.

“…” 

“Hm?”

Riina stared at me intently and said, “If Kasajima wants to be included, I might let you join us, depending on how you ask.” 

“That’s my line. I already made plans to go to the beach with Yuito first. Right, Yuito?” 

“Yeah! I just promised to go with Yuji-kun!” 

“So, Riina-san, you should ask me—Ow, ow, ow!? Pinching my cheek is against the rules!” 

“You’re getting cocky for a Kasajima!” 

“Ouch, I was just joking!”

I’d started to joke around with Riina lately too. Well, it was better to get along than to get closer to the bad ending.

“Hey, you three.” 

“Hm?” 

“What is it, Mahiro-chan?” 

“Sis?”

Mahiro, who had been looking at her smartphone with a troubled expression, turned to us again.

“Do you have time now? There’s something I’d like you to help me with.”
