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 6
“Are you all, perhaps, bullying Yuzuriha-san!?”
Yes, the protagonist, Akari Kohinata-chan, is saying something strange. Well, it’s true, isn’t it? I’m currently being pulled back and forth by two heroines. Perhaps it’s unavoidable that it looks that way visually.
“Huh…? As if I would bother with an inferior student like this.”
Ms. Chifuyu, displeased with Akari-chan’s remark, quickly shook my hand off. I felt nothing but “bothered,” but let’s not mention that now. Anyway, one of my arms was freed. And this is finally the encounter between protagonist Akari-chan and heroine Chifuyu-san.
“I see, I apologize.”
“Yes, as long as you understand.”
The timing is messed up, but please enjoy your meeting with the heroine!
“…”
“…”
Huh, conversation over?
I-I see…
These two met without the common topic of Luna Marie-Rose, and they’ve remained at a subtle distance from each other. This is the kind of atmosphere that’s most awkward for me, the observer. Seriously? I have a nagging feeling I’ve messed up the heroine encounter again.
“Luna and Yuzuki have this kind of relationship.”
—Squeeze.
“Why are you leaning on my shoulder!?”
In contrast, Luna resorts to the mysterious act of getting even closer.
“I-Is that so…?”
Akari-chan looked flustered, her eyes darting around. I don’t really understand why you’re flustered, either.
“No, it’s not! Luna and I are just classmates!”
I corrected her, as I didn’t want to be misunderstood. More importantly, Akari-chan, please reclaim Luna and Ms. Chifuyu. The villainess, Yuzuki Yuzuriha, must not steal the heroines.
“Then, please let go of her hand!”
“Eh, Kohinata…”
Then Akari-chan cut in between us and pulled my hand away from Luna’s. Yes, yes, make sure you secure Luna.
“This is better, right?”
She pulled my hand strongly, and kept pulling.
Hm?
“Now, let’s go together, Yuzuriha-san.”
Now I was the one whose hand was being held by Akari-chan.
“…Huh?”
Oh dear, why did it turn out this way?
Why is the protagonist abandoning the heroines?
Have you forgotten your role as the protagonist?
“Come on, come on, let’s go, Yuzuriha-san.”
“Eh, ah, wait…!?”
Akari-chan pulled hard on my arm. She headed deeper into the hallway. Where is she trying to go? I looked back to check the heroines’ reactions. They should be furious at being left behind by the protagonist.
“I suppose I’ll let her have her way this time.”
“It’s rare for Yuzuriha to act together with anyone.”
Luna shrugged her shoulders, and Ms. Chifuyu shook her head with a “good grief.” Hey, you two, do your job!
I suspect that Luna and Ms. Chifuyu just couldn’t bear the awkward atmosphere between the heroines and wanted to get away. Generally, in Fleur-lis, the relationship between the protagonist and heroines is good, but the heroines often have a rather tense relationship with each other. Since the protagonist is trying to move away with someone other than a heroine, it might be natural for Luna and Ms. Chifuyu to back off. In any case, the story is derailing more and more.
Yeah, that’s not good!
What should I do? Is it still not too late?
“Look, your feet have stopped.”
“Whoa, you’re so strong!”
However, Akari-chan’s strength was unusually potent. She has a slender body, so where is she hiding all that power? Is this the protagonist correction?
“Waaah, damn it, let go!”
“Yuzuriha-san, you’ll make me blush if you touch my hand so much.”
I’m trying to pull away! You brute!
“Seriously, what do you want with me?”
Akari-chan dragged me along forcefully, and before I knew it, Luna and Ms. Chifuyu were out of sight. In the end, what is her objective?
“I still don’t know the school building at all, so please show me around!”
“That’s it!?”
This was supposed to be the event where the player selects either [Luna Marie-Rose] or [Chifuyu Suzukaze] to guide them around the academy. Somehow, that role has been neatly passed to [Yuzuki Yuzuriha]. This makes no sense.
“Why don’t you ask someone else? Look, Luna or Ms. Chifuyu would be good, wouldn’t they?”
“Thank you. Let’s go then.”
“Listen to me!”
Is the inability to hear inconvenient things also a protagonist power? I might be witnessing the power of the protagonist, the ability to pull the story in the direction they desire. If I can’t win with strength, I have no choice but to attack like the villainess Yuzuki Yuzuriha.
“I wouldn’t recommend letting me guide you.”
“Why not?”
“I hate to say it myself, but I have quite a bad reputation in the academy.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes, so if you, who just transferred in, are seen with me, bad rumors will spread. Then your classmates will start to distance themselves from you, but is that okay with you?”
Hearing that, Akari-chan tilted her head and murmured, “Hmm.” Her current image is completely clean. There is no need to paint it over with the jet-black of Yuzuki Yuzuriha. You should be the one to be dyed by, and to dye, the colors of the heroines… with the color of yuri, hmpf.
“But Yuzuriha-san was with Marie-Rose-san and… um, the black-haired person just now.”
“Chifuyu Suzukaze, right?”
It seems she didn’t even catch Ms. Chifuyu’s name because it happened so quickly. This is truly a troubled situation.
“You were getting along with Suzukaze-san, weren’t you?”
“…We’re not ‘getting along,’ though.”
I want to maintain an appropriate distance, so I won’t explicitly say we’re friends.
“There’s no way someone like that has a bad reputation!”
Akari chuckled.
“…No, seriously, it’s true.”
“Even if that were true, I don’t think so, so it doesn’t matter to me.”
Grr…
This protagonist power that affirms others without wavering from her own perspective… When you interact with her directly, you truly feel the immense depth of her heart… you instinctively want to rely on this comfort. This is how the heroines were charmed. Akari-chan, you are truly a woman who causes trouble.
“So, could you please guide me through the school building?”
“I have no idea what that ‘so’ is referring to…”
What would Akari-chan do if I refused here? Would she ask Luna or Ms. Chifuyu for help?
…
No.
Given her reaction, she would undoubtedly pester me relentlessly. And it would be a pain if she got lost because I skipped the guidance event…
“…Sigh.”
“If you sigh, your good luck will run away, you know?”
“I want to run away from Kohinata!”
“So does that mean I’m ‘good luck’ for Yuzuriha-san!?”
Too positive!
No good. I feel like I can’t win.
“Fine, I’ll show you around.”
“Yay!”
Hmm. Is this really okay? The anxiety lingers, but at this point, I have no choice but to go through with it.
