When I reincarnated in the world of a gal game, I had memories of all the heroines being conquered, and it turned into a chaotic situation...

The teacher, dressed in a sharp suit, stood at the podium and spoke with a stern demeanor.

“First of all congratulations on your admission…”

A murmur of approval rippled through the students.

“I am going to say something that might dampen your spirits, but once you’ve entered this academy, I want you all to tighten your resolve.”

Another murmur of agreement followed.

“This academy is not like any ordinary school. You, the servant class students, will be the hands and feet of the noble class. Your disgrace will reflect on the nobility you serve, so carry yourselves with dignity and restraint.”

The students continued to show their consent.

…As the teacher spoke, Yui, who had been holding my left hand all this time, squeezed my fingers with hers.

I glanced at Yui, and she blushed and smiled contentedly.

But it wasn’t a romantic smile for me, it was like I was holding a stranger’s hand, and it was a terrifying experience.

I didn’t know what to do, so I just left it there. There was no sign she was going to let go, and I didn’t know what to do either.

“Um, so, well…”

Ah, the teacher looked at me.

“…Tighten your resolve and lead your school life accordingly.”

Huh…? The teacher clearly saw us holding hands but he suddenly sluttered and turned away.

Well, I guess that’s understandable. During such a serious speech, having seen someone holding one’s hand for an extended period would make you want to pretend not to see it.

“Now, we’ll head to the gymnasium for the entrance ceremony. Everyone, follow me,” the teacher announced.

Following the teacher, the classmates started moving, and Yui stood up as well.

“Shall we go too?” Yui asked.

Yui tilted her head to the side, and she looked very cute. Every time her silver hair swayed, it sparkled, and her deep blue eyes were enchanting.

If we were in normal circumstances, I would have fallen in love with her, but right now, she was just a stranger holding my hand, and the fear of that was overpowering any cuteness.

Well, maybe that’s a bit rude. After all, in the future, we might be acting as a couple.

“What’s wrong?” Yui asked.

“Uh, it’s nothing… Well, it’s really nothing,” I replied.

“Hmm? Is there something strange?”

There is definitely something strange. What’s going on with us holding hands to enter the opening ceremony? A sixth-grader and a first-year student? I have to say, please let go of my hand.

However, I couldn’t say that, so instead I said, “You see, it’s embarrassing to be seen holding hands in front of everyone.”

Yui blushed and her eyes sparkled as she replied, “What are you talking about, Riku? You were the one who took my hand and boldly declared in front of everyone that ‘Yui is my girlfriend.’ Oh, Riku, you were so cool back then!”

Yeah, now that I remember… I did that during Yui’s route while we were going around the cultural festival. Just what was I doing in my future…?

Wait, are we being watched? What if Himeko sees us holding hands?

I shuddered at that thought.

“Yui, it’s, uh, maybe it’s too early to hold hands.”

“Too early?”

“Yeah, you know, like, um… well. I want to enjoy a relationship that’s more than just friends but not quite lovers yet, you know?”

“More than friends but not quite lovers… I think that’s fine. In the past, I liked you, Riku, but I couldn’t be honest with my feelings. But you were the same as me… so I’m happy.”

“That’s right,” I replied, lying clearly. Minato Riku started dating Yui in her route because he couldn’t resist her confession. However, since Yui had let go of my hand, I decided not to say anything awkward.

Afterward, I listened to Yui’s trivial talk while we made our way to the entrance ceremony.

“Riku, I don’t want to let go after all.”

“It’s okay; we’ll see each other again soon,” I reassured her.

Reluctantly saying goodbye to Yui, I made a promise to meet again and took my seat as per my assigned attendance number.

I sat in my chair, deep in thought about this situation. Himeko and Yui still considered me their boyfriend, and I couldn’t avoid them any longer.

There’s no way around it. I need to be honest and tell them that I can’t be involved with them in this world.

In this game, nothing happens to the heroines who aren’t on a route. While not pursuing their route might not lead to the best possible happiness, it might be a relatively happy ending for them, and they might not complain about it.

I should try saying that. Let’s simulate it further.

“I managed to conquer you, but I don’t want to be involved with you in this world.” What would happen if I were to say these words?

“What? Do you want to die?” This might be the most accurate response from the other side.

No, that won’t work. I saw a mosaic of me getting minced into tiny pieces by a horde of carps, flapping their mouths open and shut.

My imagination got even worse, envisioning the two girls who considered me their boyfriend confronting each other.

What kind of relationship is this? What will happen when they ask me what’s going on? If I say that they’re both my girlfriends, even though it’s only in a game, what will happen to me?

Himeno Yukishiro. The future head of the Yukishiro family, with significant influence in Japan’s business and political circles.

Yui Kira. Born into a commoner family but secretly the princess of a fictional nation called Resistentia, which was exclusive to this game.

If they think it’s cheating, I could be eliminated without a second thought.

Furthermore, in this game, there are three heroines. Even a two-timing situation would be complicated, but how about three-timing? It’s terrifying to think about.

Let’s not think about it for now. My mental state can’t handle it.

I sit back down in my chair and lift my head. The opening ceremony has just started.

“We want to dedicate these precious three years to our club activities, studies, dreams, youth, and our youth!”

Is this the kind of speech they should give when one’s life is at stake…?

I look up at the new student representative on the stage.

She has short, almost black hair, and a refreshing short-cut. An overflow of sparkling charm emanates from her, evoking images of a white sandy beach, blue sea, and a midsummer sun. She’s from the noble class, but she doesn’t exude the typical princess vibe. She’s more like the top idol of a girls’ high school, one of those pure and innocent types. She sticks a soda-flavored candy to her cheek and smiles with a wink. This charming appearance suits her well. She’s one of the three heroines, Wakana Kisaragi.

And… to make things words… We both made eye contact with each other.

I can see from afar her intense and affectionate gaze.

…I looked down to avoid getting lost in that heavy feeling of hers.

I continued to keep my head down throughout the opening ceremony, and after it ended, I stood up with my shoulders slumped.

“Riku, want to go home?” Yui asked.

“…Yeah,” I replied.

Yui came to me as soon as the ceremony was over, and we began to walk together. We were forced into a closer relationship, and I was really struggling with what to do.

“Riku, Wakana-san seemed surprisingly energetic, didn’t she?”

“Energetic? Well, that’s one way to put it.”

The fact that both of them are referring to each other on a first name basis means that all of them have memories of the future events. Probably during the time when we three took the challenges head on together and eventually became friends.

“Well, as long as she is fine at the end of the day…”

“Haha, yeah that’s right. By the way, Riku?”

When she called out to me, I turned and looked at her curiously.

The look on her face was cold and really dark, her eyes pitch back like a deep abyss with no point of return.

“That vixen was trying to flirt with Riku huh.”

“Isn’t that just your imagination?”

I hurriedly turned my face away from Yui trying to not escalate the situation further.
