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 physically weak in the past. Not only could I not do vigorous exercise, but at times I could barely even attend school.

That sickly period was now just a somewhat painful memory from the past. Looking at me now, no one except my family would think I’d had such a past.

That was exactly why…

“Mahiro-san! You got first place on the test again! Amazing!!”

“Mahiro-san! I heard you were a huge help as a substitute in club activities again! As expected~”

In middle school, though I said so myself, I was friendly and my good looks and behavior were liked by both boys and girls, making me popular throughout the school.

However, the initial envious gazes from those around me…

“Mahiro-san is so kind and cool… she’s just perfect in every way!!”

“Mahiro-san is everyone’s idol~”

“I want to become a perfect person like Mahiro-san too~”

Gradually, perhaps because they had gotten used to me as a person, their reactions to my achievements became more like they were expected results.

It didn’t stop there. They even began imposing their own ideals on me.

The joy of being able to study and exercise freely with a healthy body. If results came with that, it was even more delightful and fun.

None of that about me was conveyed to those around me who didn’t know my past. There was no need to go out of my way to tell them.

But as the way people looked at me changed to idealistic expectations, I internally felt loneliness.

In the midst of all that… only one person was different.

“Mahiro-chan is amazing! But don’t push yourself too hard, okay? If anything happens, I’ll help you!”

Those pure eyes. Those warm words. How much they encouraged me, how happy they always made me.

That’s why, to get him, I would do anything—

◆

—I want you to teach me about heart-pounding moments, Kasajima-kun.

Hmm, studying heart-pounding moments from me… Studying heart-pounding moments from me, with my intimidating face and villainous nature…

“…”

I thought about it for a while, but what came to mind was the possibility that I had misheard.

So I asked again.

“…What?”

“Couldn’t you hear me? Then I’ll say it once more. Kasajima-kun. I want you to teach me about heart-pounding moments.”

“…”

Apparently it wasn’t a case of mishearing after all.

“Wait, why!?”

I couldn’t help but shout in response.

I mean, come on!? No matter how you think about it, for that perfect Mahiro, perfect both in appearance and personality, to ask me to teach her about heart-pounding moments… I simply couldn’t understand why she’d ask for something so incomprehensible!!!

“It seems I omitted too much from my explanation. I’ll tell you the circumstances.”

“O-oh?”

Eh, so her wanting me to teach her about heart-pounding moments or whatever was definitely happening?

“Recently, Yuito… just won’t get heart-pounding moments from me.”

“Huh, is that so…?”

I mean, it was Yuito-related after all, wasn’t it?

“Even when I speak sweet words to him, even when I casually press my body against his… he just gets a little surprised, but he doesn’t blush and show me cute reactions like he used to…”

Mahiro’s face clouded over, showing how seriously troubled she was about this.

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

Come to think of it, this prince was so obsessed that she’d once asked me to secretly photograph Yuito during the school camp, wasn’t she?

Not being able to see Yuito’s cute reactions = Yuito not getting heart-pounding moments from her anymore, I supposed.

Yuito not getting heart-pounding moments anymore, huh…

“Yuito.”

“Yui-kun ♪.”

“Eh, ah… Mahiro-chan! Riina-chan!?”

Certainly, when I’d first seen Yuito after coming to this world, he’d seemed to get embarrassed every time the beautiful sisters did something to him.

But what about now? Come to think of it, recently he hadn’t been making exaggerated reactions to Mahiro or Riina either.

“It doesn’t seem like Yuito has just gotten used to my actions.”

“Hmm. From the way you’re talking, it sounds like you know the cause.”

“Yes. The cause is… you, Kasajima-kun.”

“…Huh?”

…Me? No, I hadn’t done anything though!?? Unlike Kasajima Yuji from the game, I hadn’t bullied Yuito or done anything terrible to him!?

Had I unknowingly step on a landmine!?

“You look like you’re misunderstanding something. The word ’cause’ was probably bad.”

“Eh?”

“Because Yuito has found something else to be more absorbed in than me… than us. He probably doesn’t have time to get heart-pounding moments from anyone other than that person.”

“Huh…?”

Mahiro spoke such words like she was talking to herself.

“The person Yuito is currently absorbed in is… Kasajima-kun. It’s you.”

Mahiro’s smile… looked different from her usual refreshing one.
