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 90: Being A Maid Isn't A Game

“Yes, that is certainly correct. This is a premium card exclusive to residents of this mansion. As long as one person has it, your companion is also welcome. Please feel free to use the sauna room… Just please keep your usage within reasonable limits?”

The receptionist returned the card with a beaming smile.

The ending was unusually emphatic.

In my hand, separate from the room card key, was a single black, luxurious-looking card.

With just this card, I could use all the facilities attached to the mansion: the sauna, hot springs, gym, bar, karaoke box. In other words, unlimited access to absolutely every facility.

As I headed toward the facilities with Hibari, I stared at the black card, still amazed.

“The building I live in is incredible…”

Just from living in a luxury apartment, I got perks like this…

No, it was probably because it was a luxury mansion.

My sense of reality was starting to break down.

Once again, I realized that Kasajima Yuji was a rich young master.

Well, the ones who were actually amazing were Yuji’s parents.

I still hadn’t met them yet.

Besides, this was the world of an erotic game.

The excessive service might have been the creator’s wishful thinking.

“When Hibari mentioned a sauna, I thought we’d be going far away… I never imagined it would be so close and unlimited use…”

“Yuji-sama, you didn’t know until now?”

“W-well, yeah…”

I had suddenly been reincarnated as a villain one day.

I hadn’t been in a situation where I could enjoy recreational facilities.

The original Kasajima Yuji would have naturally known about this and would have already used the facilities many times.

He would have definitely used them as a place for picking up women.

By targeting the beautiful sisters for his womanizing… that led to the bad ending where he got pinned down and beaten to a pulp until his stamina ran out.

Just remembering that scene was terrifying.

To avoid the bad ending, I wouldn’t do anything reckless, and more importantly, I wouldn’t chase after women.

Since I didn’t engage in villainous behavior, I was just a scary-looking guy.

I probably wouldn’t be popular because people would misjudge me based on my appearance.

But if there was someone who didn’t judge me by my looks and liked me because they found being with me enjoyable—

No, I should stop thinking strange things.

I needed to enjoy my time with Hibari now!

We arrived at the facility.

There were separate entrances for men and women.

“Yuji-sama. This is the side with the women’s changing room.”

“Ah, right.”

“So don’t go in, okay?”

“I won’t go in!”

“There probably aren’t many people at this time?”

“Do you want me to peek?!”

“I didn’t say anything of the sort.”

“You made me say it!”

This kind of exchange had become routine for us.

“See you later, Hibari.”

“Yes, Yuji-sama.”

I temporarily parted from Hibari and changed in the changing room.

This sauna room required swimwear.

“That said, changing is easy for guys.”

Just strip off quickly and put on one piece of clothing.

I changed into the shorts with a gray base and cute shark illustrations drawn on them.

These were the ones Hibari and I had picked out during summer vacation.

I was happy they could be used for something other than the pool.

“Well, I’ll probably be done faster, so I’ll go in first.”

I walked toward the sauna room.

The moment I opened the door, humid heat enveloped my entire body.

“Oh… this is what a sauna is like. It’s been a while since I’ve been in a sauna.”

This was a private sauna room that families or groups could rent out. It wasn’t that spacious, but two people could relax comfortably in it.

“But it’s not just the sauna, right. And then…”

‘Yuji-sama, do you want to see me in a swimsuit?’

I remembered Hibari’s words.

I never expected her to say something like that…

And it wasn’t teasing either.

Her voice had been strangely serious.

I thought we could see each other in swimsuits next year when we went to the pool or beach together…

Well, I wouldn’t interfere unnecessarily.

I would prioritize whatever Hibari wanted to do.

“Yuji-sama. Please tell me what you think of my swimsuit.”

“Right. I need to comment on the swimsuit too… Wait, whoa?!”

I heard a voice from behind and turned around to see Hibari there.

Quietly standing while staring intently at me.

Since we were in the sauna, Hibari was naturally wearing a swimsuit…

“Please give me feedback other than ‘it suits you’ or ‘cute’.”

“That’s quite the preemptive strike.”

I had already been thinking that just ordinary words wouldn’t be enough.

So I decided to properly look at Hibari in her swimsuit and give my honest opinion!

Her glossy black short hair was slightly damp from the sauna’s humidity, giving it a moist quality.

And… the swimsuit.

Hibari’s swimsuit was a simple black triangle bikini type.

It really suited her translucent fair skin and beautiful legs.

Hibari, whom I should have been used to seeing, felt like a completely different person.

Additionally, with the sauna’s heat making her body glisten with sweat, the swimsuit was also getting damp and becoming strangely alluring…

No no no no!

This was something I shouldn’t look at closely!!

I hurriedly shifted my gaze upward.

With enough force to glare at the ceiling.

I tried to calm my racing heartbeat…

“Why are you looking away from me?”

“?!”

At those words, I involuntarily looked at Hibari.

“Yuji-sama, won’t you compliment my swimsuit?”

“Well, I’d love to compliment it, but…”

Just the two of us as usual.

The same relationship between villain and maid as usual.

Yet… I couldn’t maintain my composure.

“Then, will you… get your heart racing over me when we’re alone together?”

“W-well, of course… my heart would race!”

“So you get your heart beating fast over me.”

“W-well… Hibari is always beautiful… and now you’re in a swimsuit and it really suits you… was that no good? A-anyway! I’m looking at Hibari in her swimsuit right now and my heart is racing. That’s how good Hibari looks in her swimsuit!”

I spoke rapidly and wasn’t sure if it counted as proper feedback…

When “suits you” and “cute” were banned, it was actually quite difficult!

“I feel the same way.”

“Huh?”

“I… my heart is also racing over you, Yuji-sama.”

“O-oh. I see.”

Hibari’s heart was also… beating fast.

Well, being alone with a man in a sauna would make anyone nervous.

“…It seems you’re misunderstanding.”

“Huh?”

“Never mind. Now that I’ve shown off my swimsuit, let’s just sweat it out in the sauna.”

“R-right!”

Hibari and I sat side by side, working up a sweat.

Still… I never thought the day would come when I’d be in a sauna with Hibari.

It was quite thought-provoking.

At the beginning, we weren’t even eating meals together, and our conversations were minimal.

Looking back at that time, this current situation felt like a lie.

…But it wasn’t a lie.

Little by little, inch by inch… Hibari and I had been changing.

I was getting misunderstood less often based on my appearance than before.

Hibari too, while she had been expressionless and impossible to read at first, recently seemed to have developed a softness in her words and expressions.

She was much easier to talk to than before, and we had grown closer.

Being together felt somehow comfortable.

And now, here we were in the same space, so defenseless and close—

“Yuji-sama?”

“Ah, no! I think I’ll go to the cold bath now…!”

“Isn’t it too early? It hasn’t even been five minutes yet?”

“Somehow my body is heating up faster today. I’ll be right back!”

Answering nervously, I hurriedly left the sauna… and immersed myself in the cold water bath.

“Phew~~~~~…”

The piercing cold water cooled me down instantly.

Yet the area around my chest… was strangely noisy.

—Why was my heart beating so fast?

Well, yeah. Hibari’s swimsuit appearance was normally… no, considerably… yeah. It possessed high destructive power.

But was that all?

Something had been strange lately.

When I was with Hibari, my chest would get restless… I’d get flustered at odd moments and want to look away.

But it wasn’t a bad feeling either?

Rather, it was more like… comfortable.

“Haha, what’s wrong with me…”

My face reflected in the water surface looked a bit red… that was definitely because the heat from the sauna was still lingering on my face.

◆◆

We returned from the sauna room to the building lobby.

“Ah, saunas are nice once in a while~”

“Yes, they are.”

It was different from soaking in warm water.

Afterward, I felt refreshingly clear.

Now, after returning to the room, I would do whatever else Hibari wanted to—

“—You are quite late, Yuji.”

A low, gruff voice reached my ears.

I reflexively turned around… and there was a man.

Black hair slicked back and sharp, narrow eyes.

He wore a perfectly tailored suit and had an aura that showed he was no ordinary person just from his posture.

My first impression of him was that of a scary person.

I caught my breath at this obviously intimidating figure.

“…”

I glanced to the side… and Hibari’s expression had clearly changed.

I could easily read emotions from the normally calm Hibari’s face.

Hibari was clearly confused and… somehow frightened.

I could tell who this person was from that expression alone.

I had been reincarnated as the villain Kasajima Yuji in an erotic game.

Even though he was a villain, Yuji was still a child.

He probably hadn’t been evil from the start.

There had to be a reason he became that way somewhere.

Like—the influence of his guardian.

“Father…”

The words slipped out of me quietly.

The man glared at me and slowly opened his mouth.

“Yuji. Are you… still chasing after women as usual?”
