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 4

Break time.

“This is bad, I have to get away, no matter what.”

I went out into the hallway to distance myself from the protagonist and the heroine. Incredibly, Akari-chan and Luna had started to burn with a sense of rivalry. I couldn’t laugh; the situation was not funny at all. The yuri that should have bloomed is now on fire because of me. That simply cannot be allowed.

“Get away from who?”

“Eh?”

I turned around, and a beautiful girl with silver-white hair and ice-blue eyes was standing there. There was such a height difference that she was looking down at me.

“Why are you here!?”

Luna Marie-Rose had gotten behind me. What is her goal?

“Wanting to leave, yet drawing closer… Is this fate?”

Luna gently stroked her cheek, which was faintly stained with red. Stop it, that gesture is enchanting and maximum-level charming. I’ll be mesmerized!

“You were following me, weren’t you?”

“I would not do such a thing.”

“Then why are you behind me?”

“Yuzuki was in front of Luna.”

Grr…

This nerve, to talk back with wordplay without being intimidated at all. Should I be impressed that she’s a heroine, or wary of her as a troublesome person? It’s hard to judge.

“Anyway, I don’t want to be with L-U-N-A.”

“You called me by my name again.”

“Listen to me!”

“Luna is deeply moved.”

“You get happy so easily!?”

Wait, were the characters in Fleur-lis all this difficult to have a conversation with? Were the central figures of the story always this overflowing with individuality?

“I have no intention of getting involved with you.”

“Why?”

“Why, you ask…”

I don’t want to be an obstacle to the protagonist and heroine’s yuri. I also want to avoid any development that might lead to a ruin end. Getting close to Luna is all harm and no benefit.

However, I couldn’t possibly say that to her face…

“If I’m next to a British-born, top-of-the-class young lady, my own character will fade.”

Verite Girls’ Academy gathers many young ladies of impeccable conduct. This is largely due to the high barrier to entry and the thorough education provided to the daughters of distinguished families.

Nevertheless, as long as humans gather, a hierarchy exists. The girls can always clearly see the size of the house behind each person.

What happens when an extraordinary, irregular foreign student enters the scene? It’s sometimes easier to release excessive power than to hold onto it. Luna Marie-Rose, sadly, was such a presence.

I decided to agree with the opinions of the nameless mob.

“Hehe, you are not good at jokes, Yuzuki.”

“Eh, I’m not joking.”

“Luna is not foolish enough to fall for such a fake.”

“H-Huh?”

I was just making a generic mob girl move. Luna shouldn’t have any evidence to deny it.

“Yuzuki is not the kind of person to care about such trivial things as social standing.”

“H-How do you know that!?”

“‘Kohinata, the transfer student, is from a fallen house, a half-breed who enrolled out of pity’—that is the common consensus.”

That is the position of the protagonist, Akari Kohinata, at the academy. Wait? But Luna should still be a lonely girl, starving for companionship. She shouldn’t be in a position to gather information about her classmates…

“How do you know that?”

“If I listen to my surroundings, I naturally hear it. Luna has no one to talk to.”

Gah!

Please don’t casually use your loneliness as a selling point. Tears are starting to well up for the unfortunate Luna…

“Therefore, Yuzuki is different from others for trying to help Kohinata, who is in such trouble.”

“…”

G-Gunu nu.

This is a problem. Luna is unexpectedly catching information around her and correctly assessing the situation. She’s not just a book-smart genius; she also has flexibility in social skills.

“I-I just wanted to push a difficult task onto you!”

“You wanted to use that as an excuse to become friends with Luna, right?”

“Why does your intelligence quotient suddenly drop there!?”

The moment the conversation shifts to me and Luna, logic vanishes. Only Luna’s desire comes to the forefront. What is going on?!

“…You and the transfer student should just console each other as ‘outsiders’ (nokemono doushi).”

How’s that?

Both Akari-chan and Luna are pitied as outsiders at the academy. They wouldn’t feel good about being told that to their faces.

“Yes, that’s right. We are comrades.”

“Wha—!?”

Luna took another step closer and enveloped my hands in both of hers. Wait, she’s close, close, close…! And she smells incredibly sweet…!

“Wait, why me!? I’m talking about the transfer student and you!”

“‘Outsiders together’… that means Yuzuki is one too, doesn’t it?”

“…Eh.”

“Yuzuki is an ‘outsider’ who is kept away from her classmates because of her arrogant attitude.”

“…Ahhh~”

Damn it, I might have underestimated Luna Marie-Rose. This girl is fully capable of understanding her surroundings even without other people.

“Th-Then you don’t need to join hands with someone like me, do you?”

“No, no. Yuzuki probably couldn’t fit into this academy either, so you had no choice but to act bossy to make yourself look strong, right?”

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

And her understanding of “Yuzuki Yuzuriha” is even higher than mine! I only thought of Yuzuki Yuzuriha as a mere stage prop—an obstacle! I never even considered this girl’s background!

“We are the same… ‘outsiders together,’ right?”

Luna tilted her head and smiled at me sweetly.

Stop it!

Don’t turn that lovely smile toward me!

It’s too precious!

“Outsiders together.”

Is there a heroine who would use such a negative word in a positive way?

No, there is not!

This is the beauty of Fleur-lis!

It’s not just a field of flowers; yuri only truly blooms when the harshness of reality combines with the maiden’s loveliness.

But that should not be with me! I want it to bloom between the protagonist and the heroine!

“Please direct that sense of camaraderie toward the transfer student!”

“That’s how Yuzuki always cares for others… You really are kind.”

The conversation is completely failing at the most crucial point!

“That’s enough! Just let go of my hands for now!”

My heart can’t take this anymore!

“Skinship is a sign of affection.”

“That’s just one-sided skinship, though!?”

What should I do? She should be top of her class and flexible, yet I can’t have a coherent conversation with her. Or is this all part of her plan? Her scale is too large now; I can’t read her!
