I Reincarnated as the Villainess in a Yuri Game, and While Trying to Avoid the Ruin End, it's Somehow Turning into a Romantic Comedy with the Heroine - Chapter 10

“Fwa…”

I woke up in the morning and ruffled my messy hair. I suspected it might all be a dream, but when I woke up, what I saw outside the window was still Verite Girls’ Academy. And the location was a room in the dormitory. The setting was exactly as it was in Fleur-lis.

“I see…”

Yesterday was tough. Akari-chan and Luna were pushing against me, sandwiching me in the room, so there was no escape. They finally returned to their rooms reluctantly when it was lights-out time, but… for some reason, both the protagonist and the heroine are trying to resolve events with me as the central figure.

“Is this the power of attraction, too…?”

Even if I refuse to act like a villainess, a compelling force might be working to make Yuzuki Yuzuriha get involved in the story. Does that mean that no matter how much I struggle, the expulsion ending is ultimately waiting for me…?

That’s a problem. If I can only live in this world, I need an education. The world is surely not that easy. And above all, I don’t want to miss the chance to witness the world of yuri with my own eyes.

“Alright, today I will fully commit to being a mob character who watches over the yuri… Yuzuki Yuzuriha!”

With that renewed resolve, I leaped out of bed.

“Now, I would like to solicit candidates for the student council election.”

In front of the blackboard, the homeroom teacher began explaining the student council election.

“First-years cannot become the student council president, but all other positions are open for candidacy.”

Here it comes, this moment! I held my breath for the major event that was about to unfold.

“First, I would like to solicit candidates for the vice president position. Is there anyone who wishes to run?”

It takes a significant commitment for a first-year to become the vice president. Due to the academy’s unique sense of hierarchy, few students in the first year are eager to proactively stand out.

“Yes.”

However, there is one girl who can shrug off that pressure.

“Suzukaze-san, is it?”

The black-haired cool beauty, Chifuyu Suzukaze. She has strong aspirations and a firm desire to improve herself. Because of this, she wants to join the student council and elevate her status. Naturally, she unhesitatingly chooses the vice president position, which is the highest hurdle for a first-year.

“Wow, she’s such an amazing person!”

“…Putting too much effort into it.”

The protagonist and the heroine next to me are casually voicing their respective impressions. They seem to have absolutely no interest in such positions.

“Then, we will have Suzukaze-san as the candidate for vice president. The person in charge of her campaign may be decided by Suzukaze-san’s recommendation, so please let me know once it is decided.”

And so, the candidates for the student council election were decided, leaving the seeds for the next event…

“Luna Marie-Rose, it seems you did not run for a student council position.”

During break time, Ms. Chifuyu came over with a triumphant air. Since she couldn’t win against Luna in grades, Ms. Chifuyu was trying to gain an advantage through other means. She’s so earnest and cute. Her expression may not be skilled, but her striving attitude is still dazzling.

“No. Not interested.”

And Luna, with her cheek propped on her hand, replied vaguely, as if it genuinely didn’t matter at all. This stance of Luna, unconstrained by titles, made Ms. Chifuyu hesitate for a moment. But Ms. Chifuyu, having gained a good reason, wouldn’t back down easily.

“Shall I ask you, who lacks such initiative, to be in charge of my campaign?”

Yes, Ms. Chifuyu suddenly appointed Luna as her campaign manager. As you might understand, the feeling of wanting to assert dominance over Luna accounts for the majority of this decision. “Candidate and Campaign Manager”—there is no inherent hierarchy between them, but it’s natural to name the former if asked which is the main role.

“No. Not interested.”

However, Luna immediately dismissed Ms. Chifuyu. Since she delivered the exact same line with the exact same intonation, it clearly conveys how uninterested she is.

“You aren’t in any club activities, so you should have plenty of time, shouldn’t you?”

But Ms. Chifuyu persisted.

“No. Not interested.”

“…Ah, you!”

After being given the same line three times, even Ms. Chifuyu seemed irritated, her brow furrowing. Still, Luna continued to gaze at the sky, resting her cheek on her hand. It must be a shock for Ms. Chifuyu to feel less interesting than the scenery outside.

I shifted my gaze to my neighbor.

“Oh, ah, ahwa…”

Akari-chan was trembling at the sight of their intense exchange. But this is not the time for you to shrink away. I spoke to her in a low voice.

(Kohinata.)

(W-What is it, Yuzuriha-san?)

(You take the campaign manager role instead.)

(Eh, EHHH…!?)

This is by no means tyrannical. In the original story, Akari, unable to watch the heroines fighting, volunteers to mediate. Luna, who has affection for Akari-chan, naturally shows reluctance to this idea, but Ms. Chifuyu, noticing this, changes her plan and appoints Akari-chan as the campaign manager. This is the structure where the conflict between the heroines for the protagonist intensifies.

(Ms. Chifuyu will definitely appoint you now.)

(No, I don’t want to get involved in their dispute in the first place…)

Why is this protagonist being so passive? Why isn’t she more interested in the heroines’ fight?

(Just do it, tell her!)

(Well… if Yuzuriha-san insists that much…)

Akari-chan reluctantly nodded.

“Um, excuse me…”

“What is it?”

“Could I perhaps be the campaign manager instead of Marie-Rose-san…?”

Luna and Ms. Chifuyu froze for a moment. And then, immediately:

“I leave it to Kohinata.”

Luna readily agreed. Wait, shouldn’t you be more reluctant!?

“I refuse. I am not so desperately lacking in popularity that I have to ask a student who just transferred in.”

And Ms. Chifuyu rejected the idea without any hesitation. Shouldn’t you accept it!?

(Um, I’m being seriously rejected…)

Akari-chan questioned me with teary eyes. Th-This wasn’t supposed to happen… Is there any other way?

Th-That’s right!

“Then, maybe I’ll do it…?”

No one would ever call for the villainess, Yuzuki Yuzuriha, of course. If this obstacle barges in, Akari-chan should look relatively better!

“Eh, no, Yuzuki is not allowed.”

Huh, Luna reacted?

“I see… That’s a clever idea.”

Eh, Ms. Chifuyu is wearing a fearless smile…?

“Very well, I shall appoint you.”

Huh, wait, she accepted…? No, no, no.

“Wait, no, Yuzuki shouldn’t do that.”

Ah, ahwa-wa-wa. If Luna tries to stop her, Ms. Chifuyu will…!!

“Hmph, good… you just sit back and watch. Regret the things you didn’t do yourself.”

See? She has a mean look. Ms. Chifuyu has a mean look!

“Now, Yuzuki Yuzuriha. You will work diligently during this student council election campaign period… like a carriage horse… no, shoulder-to-shoulder with me.”

“Didn’t you just make a huge slip of the tongue!?”

What are you planning to do with me? What are you planning to do, Chifuyu Suzukaze!?

(Yuzuriha-san… if you wanted to do it yourself, you should have just said so from the start.)

Akari-chan is giving me a side-eye, but that’s not it! I truly had no such intention whatsoever. Am I about to start an unexpected joint project with Ms. Chifuyu…?
