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 12

“And so, it was the lunch break the following week.”

“Alright, are you ready?” Chifuyu-san called out to me.

“Yes… more or less.”

Where we were heading now was the “street speech.” Regardless of the original scenario, I wasn’t looking forward to it. I wasn’t used to speaking in front of strangers and had a strong sense of aversion to it.

“You’re not speaking clearly, and your complexion isn’t good. Is something wrong?”

“No, well, I’m just getting nervous, I guess…”

I could sense the pressure from Ms. Chifuyu, who remained cool and expressionless. She must be used to this sort of thing.

“That won’t do. Don’t force yourself. Rest, Yuzuki.”

Then Luna grabbed my shoulder as I stood up and made me sit back down. Is this the heroine’s kindness?

“Luna Marie-Rose, stop interfering.” Ms. Chifuyu, however, wore a suspicious expression. It seemed these two were destined to argue.

“You are the one interfering. Yuzuki is suffering.”

“It’s Yuzuriha’s role, so your pity is misplaced. An outsider shouldn’t meddle.”

“Outsider…? Luna is just worried about Yuzuki.”

“That worry is an unwelcome bother. Or what? Did you suddenly feel like taking her place?”

“Luna has no reason to do such a thing.”

“Then I’ll ask you to stop with the unnecessary comments. To complain without offering an alternative—what a complete nuisance you are.”

“…” Now, it was Luna’s turn to furrow her brow. Ms. Chifuyu’s point wasn’t wrong, but her words were laced with venom. It would be helpful if she handled things a bit more gently, but it must be difficult since she views Luna as a rival. A maiden’s heart is complicated.

(Um, that… the atmosphere is too heavy, and I feel completely out of place.) Akari-chan, sitting next to me, whispered. She was the protagonist who should have been at the center of this storm.

(It’s not too late. Take the campaign manager role instead.)

(No way, Ms. Suzukaze acts like I’m not even in her sight.)

(Turning her attention to you is your ability, isn’t it?)

(I don’t have such ability, but I’m happy that Yuzuriha-san thinks so… hehe…) Why is she blushing? She truly has that power! Is this the unknowingly powerful protagonist type!? (No.)

“Come on, there’s no time to dawdle. Let’s go, Yuzuriha.” Ms. Chifuyu grabbed my arm and made me stand up again. All this standing up and sitting down was exhausting. I was practically dragged into the hallway by Ms. Chifuyu. The piercing gazes in my back were surely not my imagination.

“Before the street speech, I have one point I must caution you about.”

“Huh?”

I was led into an empty classroom, and to my surprise, Ms. Chifuyu crossed her arms and looked me up and down. What was she looking at me for… Gasp!? An empty classroom, just the two of us, staring at my body… that means!

“Don’t do anything rash, Ms. Chifuyu!”

“…”Hah?”

“You might be having strange feelings toward me, but that’s a mistake! The person you should be feeling those emotions for is someone else!”

“No, I don’t quite understand what you’re saying…”

“It’s no use playing dumb. You were planning to do something inappropriate with me, weren’t you?”

“…Hah? Hah!? Of course I wasn’t going to do anything of the sort!” Ms. Chifuyu finally seemed to realize she’d been pegged and raised her voice.

“The way you’re panicking—I was right all along.”

“That’s because you’re saying something completely insane!”

“It’s okay, this was an unforeseen accident. I’ll keep silent, so don’t worry.”

“Phew, that was close. All’s well that ends well.” I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead and left the empty classroom. Maybe this room itself was the problem. I had to escape quickly.

“Wait a moment!” Ms. Chifuyu grabbed my shoulder firmly, blocking me from entering the hallway. Wh-What now…?

“A-Are you still unable to control your emotions!?”

“I keep telling you it’s not that! That’s not the purpose!”

Wh-What now…? After staring at someone’s body like that? In a yuri game, taking the place of the protagonist in an event that should have happened, and being in a place where a ‘steamy’ development was likely? Can there really be a convenient explanation for nothing happening?

“…W-Well. Maybe it truly was something else. I couldn’t entirely deny the possibility that I had misunderstood.

“Then, what is it?” I’ll calm down and listen to Ms. Chifuyu this time.

“Your skirt—”

“EEK!”

It was about my body after all! Oh no, that’s really not allowed!

“Hey, could you stop making that strange sound!?”

“M-Ms. Chifuyu has turned into a lustful monster…”

“I told you! It’s not that! I’m talking about the length of your skirt!”

“But even as you say that, could you stop staring at my body!?”

“That’s why I’m telling you to fix the length of your skirt!”

“…Hmm?”

“A student who doesn’t wear her uniform correctly cannot be the campaign manager for the vice president, can she? That’s what I was saying.”

“…Ah.”

“It was all my jump to conclusions?”

“I told you from the beginning I had no such intention!”

“Sorry.”

“It’s fine as long as you understand. Now fix it quickly.”

“…Yes.”

The air in the classroom had turned heavy. Was it my fault?
