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 74: "Please choose for me too"

The fun pool time had ended, and we were at the station nearest to our high school, which had been our morning meeting place.

“Does anyone have anything they forgot? Is everyone here?”

“Yes~ We’re here~”

“Yuito and I are here too.”

“And Tajima’s here too.”

“I was bad during the day, but… don’t grab me by the collar! Am I a cat?!”

“It would be troublesome if you disappeared again.”

Well, after this we just had to go home using our respective means of transportation… I decided to let him go.

“It seems everyone had fun today. I had fun too.”

“I’d like to come here alone with just Yui-kun next time… but well, it was fun, right?”

Mahiro showed a refreshing smile. Riina was reacting somewhat like a tsundere.

“I had fun too!”

“I enjoyed it as well”

“M-me too…!”

We three guys had also enjoyed ourselves.

Setting aside the forgotten swimsuit and the matters with Riina and Mahiro… playing together with friends and classmates was really fun after all.

“Well then, good work today. Let’s call it a day and disband,” said Mahiro.

I let out a small sigh. It had been fun, but I had swum a lot at the pool, so I was feeling a bit sleepy and tired…

“Yui-kun, our alone time today was fun~”

“Yuito. You had fun with me too, right?”

Despite saying they were disbanding, Mahiro and Riina were sandwiching Yuito from both sides, having a pleasant conversation. As expected of the protagonist and heroines. They were quick to get lovey-dovey.

“See ya, Kasajima. I’m heading home first!”

Suddenly, Tajima called out from behind.

“Oh, Tajima. Is that okay? Aren’t you going to say goodbye to those three?”

“No way… I don’t have the courage to interrupt the lovey-dovey atmosphere between those three…”

“Well, yeah…”

When I looked at the three again, Mahiro and Riina had wrapped their arms around Yuito’s arms, making the lovey-dovey level even higher. They didn’t care about the attention from passersby at all.

“That’s how it is… so goodbye then!”

“Yeah. Be careful.”

Tajima ran off.

Did he have something to do? He seemed that urgent.

“…He’s definitely hiding something, that guy.”

That Tajima… ever since he was late for the meeting time at noon, he had been acting strangely restless… Well, it was his business, so there was no point in me worrying about it.

“Bye, Mahiro-chan, Riina-chan! Let’s play again next time!”

Oh. It seemed things had ended over there too.

I happened to make eye contact with Mahiro and Riina…

“Bye, Kasajima-kun.”

“Bye bye, Kasajima.”

“O-oh… see you next time.”

Mahiro showed a smile, and Riina waved her hand slightly while looking somewhat sulky. They had called out to me before like this… but I felt like this was the first time it was just for me, not as an add-on to Yuito.

‘I want you to teach me about making hearts race, Kasajima-kun.’

‘~~~! Pervert!!’

I had various things happen with Mahiro and Riina today… so maybe the distance had shortened a bit…?

“Yuji-kun.”

“Oh, Yuito. What’s up?”

Yuito came in front of me. I had thought he would go home with Mahiro and Riina…

“Want to go home together partway?”

“Today was fun, Yuji-kun!”

“Yeah. It became a good summer memory.”

Yuito and I walked forward while reflecting on today’s events. Come to think of it, Yuito and I lived relatively close to each other.

Yuito seemed to have had a really great time with Mahiro and Riina. Good, good… I wouldn’t get in the way, so please flirt to your heart’s content.

As for me, I had been with Riina in the morning. In the afternoon, it didn’t work out to switch with Mahiro.

‘Kasajima-kun must have something that captivates people. I vaguely sense it too… but I don’t understand it clearly. So I want you to teach me.’

There was that matter too, so she had probably been considerate. Mahiro had apparently acted alone. However, since she would definitely get hit on if she had wandered around the pool area alone, she had gone to massage shops that used cold gel and souvenir stores.

“But I wanted to play more with Yuji-kun and Tajima-kun too.”

“Yeah.”

After Mahiro and Riina’s date ended, we had only played together as a group for about an hour after meeting up.

“But summer is just beginning, so we can still play lots more, right?”

“That’s right!”

Summer vacation was still long. I wanted to fully enjoy summer in this world too!

“Ah… Yuji-kun, want to stop by here?”

“Hm?”

Yuito’s feet suddenly stopped. He was pointing at a convenience store.

‘You’re Kasajima Yuji-kun, right?’

‘Ah, yeah…’

It was that convenience store where I’d first met Yuito.

“Ahh~~ So cool~ Convenience stores in summer are the best.”

Upon entering the store, the ice-cold air permeated my entire body.

“Since we came to a convenience store…”

I headed to that corner without hesitation.

“Ice cream, after all.”

Right. The ice cream corner. I had definitely come to buy ice cream that time too.

“Ice cream sounds good! I’ll buy some too.”

Yuito came next to me.

The two of us looked at the ice cream case carefully, thinking about which to choose.

“I guess I’ll go with… Black Mont Blanc after all. And also…”

Since it was a special occasion, should I buy ice cream for Hibari too when I go home? As thanks for delivering the swimsuit, I’d get something expensive… Häagen-Dazs!

I took my Black Mont Blanc and Häagen-Dazs strawberry flavor from the ice cream case.

“Huh? Yuji-kun, are you eating two?”

“No, the other one is for Hibari.”

“For Hibari-san…”

“That’s right. So, what are you getting, Yuito—”

“Yuji-kun, please choose for me too.”

“Huh?”

Yuito looked at me with straightforward eyes.

“Won’t you choose my ice cream for me too?”

Ah, that’s what he meant…

Since there was no subject, I didn’t understand what he meant for a moment, but it was about ice cream.

“Yuito is… let’s see. Hmm… Ah! How about this one? It’s called Aloe Ice. They were saying on TV that this was incredibly delicious~”

I had been thinking of trying it myself someday too… but right now I was in the mood for chocolate and crunchy texture. I was in a Black Mont Blanc mood.

“Then I’ll get that. Thank you, Yuji-kun!”

Yuito smiled sweetly. To thank me just for choosing ice cream… Yuito was still such a good guy.

After finishing payment and going outside, the muggy air enveloped our bodies again.

“It’s so hot~ The ice cream will melt too, so we need to get home quickly. We part ways here, right?”

“That’s right.”

From this convenience store, Yuito and I took separate paths.

“See you later, Yuito. Next time… ah, we’ll have a school day soon. If we meet next, it’ll be that day.”

“Right. Yuji-kun, how’s your homework coming along?”

“Of course, it’s going well.”

After all, I had a supervisor (Hibari) here with me. She was strictly monitoring me, saying she wouldn’t let me out of the living room if I didn’t meet my quota…

“Be careful going home!”

“Yeah.”

I waved to Yuito and started running. I wanted to eat ice cream as soon as I got home!

“Hibari-san, how nice…”

◆

“I’m home, Hibari! The souvenir I brought is convenience store ice cream. Let’s eat together!”

“Welcome home, Yuji-sama. From your appearance, it seems you were able to enjoy yourself. That’s wonderful.”
