Volume 2 - CH 4

Forbidden Love Arc

“Right, where do you live Hideyori?”

“My place is near the river I think.”

“Ahh, the place people go to have a barbecue party right!”

I noticed just now that Emi disappeared off somewhere but since we are in the same class I will probably see her in the classroom.

At the moment I am chatting with Takeru while walking there.

“……”

Still, I need to confirm whether he has [Anti-Gift] or not.

In [Breakin the Chain of Sadness], the [Anti-Gift] would be revealed at the end of each heroine’s route.

Well, according to the game, Hideyori already knew since the time he first met Takeru though……

“Let’s [Give up going to the classroom and go home].”

“You idiot! What are you saying now! Just how much do you hate school, man.”

“That was obviously a joke right.”

Certainly, [Dominating Decree] did not work on him……

That said, this does hurt my pride a little…….

I get it now, I finally get the original me!

……I get how it feels but I won’t go around making people’s lives into tragedies okay!!

For a moment, I was worried if I was steadily approaching my fate as the scumbag best friend but, I will probably be fine, I guess.

[[Hideyori-k~un Where are yo~~u!]]

“Nn? Isn’t someone calling for you?”

“Eh?”

When I properly listened, it was certainly Emi’s voice calling my name.

“Emi~~!”

“Ah! There you are! Where did you run off too!?”

“Here, obviously.”

“That’s not an answer!”

Emi angrily lined up to my side.

“Your girlfriend? Hideyori.”

“She’s not……” “That’s right!”

“Nn?”

We replied at the same time so I couldn’t hear what Emi said.

“You don’t need to deny it that clearly, you know……..”

“What’s up with you Emi?”

Emi’s cheeks began to puff up even more.

My sensibilities are quite different from a woman who considers sitting still on a swing fun so sometimes I just don’t get why Emi is mad at me.

And this is one of those times.

“I see…….you are the so-called dense type huh……”

“……”

A guy who has a mountain’s worth of dense protagonist scenes in [Breaking the Chain of Sadness] is saying that to me……

This guy is the kind of man who thinks that Risa is seriously annoyed by him so imagine how I feel right now.

“Rather, who is this?”

Muttered Emi as she glanced at Takeru.

So she finally noticed that there’s a man carrying a school bag standing next to me huh.

“I’m Juumonji Takeru! Hideyori’s best friend.”

“Eh? Hideyori-kun, you have a best friend?”

“I got myself one just now…….”

I didn’t want this useless protagonist as my best friend either you know.

“Fate brought me and Hideyori together. I can tell. The moment I saw this guy, I felt like this isn’t the first time we’ve met after all.”

“Hou, so you think it’s fate too huh.”

“You too?”

I mean, he’s the protagonist and I’m supposed to be his scumbag best friend.

It’s natural that our encounter felt like it was fated.

“B, But but! Hideyori-kun also thinks that fate brought us together too right!?”

“Fate did help a little I guess?”

“ALRIGHT! I WON!”

Emi stares intensely at me.

I mean, I completely forgot about the existence of Sasaki Emi until I met her……

If I have to say it, I didn’t personally feel like it was fate between Emi and me but from the perspective of players who ship Hideyori X Emi, I guess it can feel like it was destined huh.

“I like you! I will be in your care Emi!”

“……I don’t want to be called by name by a man other than Hideyori-kun.”

“I don’t know your last name though.”

“It’s Sasaki.”

“Alright, nice to meet you Sasaki!”

His tone still sounds overfamiliar as usual.

If I’m Yin then this guy is probably my Yang.

And thus, this day where I made my acquaintance with Takeru has become the worst day of my life……

“Man, you are so cute Risa-chan.”

“Come on……you are always flattering me Hideyori-san…..”

“Not at all, I’ve always been Risa-chan’s fan after all!”

“You’re such a funny person.”

Through Emi’s investigation, I have already learned that Risa- chan is actually in love with her idiot brother.

She’s so pur~~~e isn’t she, she’s such a fool, isn’t she.

For the past ten years, it’s been fun to see the farces between these siblings but I think I’m already tired of it.

“Besides, Hideyori-san already has Emi-san right.”

“I told you, it’s not like that between us, Risa-chan.”

I want to erase the flower garden in her head that made her think I’m actually dating that braindead woman…..

“Hey, Emi-chan, we are not as close as people think we are right?”

“That’s right, Risa-san and the others always get the wrong idea. Hideyori-kun and I are just friends after all.”

“Is……is that so?”

Risa eyed me and Emi with suspicion.

Maybe that lie was a little too far-fetched huh…….

Guess I will correct myself a little then.

“Rather than a friend, she’s more like a younger sister to me you know. Just like how Risa-chan’s supposed to feel toward Takeru.”

“How I feel toward Nii-san….……..”

“That feeling, I think it would be fine between me and Emi you know? But it wouldn’t do if Risa-chan feels that way toward Takeru right?”

“!?”

She’s upset.

Risa-chan must have also realized how odd it is to feel the way she feels toward her brother.

“So…….you should direct that feeling toward me instead you know? See, rather than Emi, you are more of my type Risa-chan. [So let’s have fun with me instead].”

“N, Nii-sa…….let’s go, Hideyori-san.”

Caught her.

I was looking forward to getting my hands on her for so long. What should I do with her now I wonder~.

I can’t wait.

“Let’s kiss, Hideyori-san.”

“Ahh, right.”

Let’s kiss and show this off to everyone around us.

Emi is pretending not to see me and Risa kissing.

Now, what should I do next?

“Oi, Hideyori!”

“Hmm? What, it’s Takeru huh….”

Even I didn’t expect the idiot brother to witness Risa-chan’s first kiss with me either.

Man, his [Anti-Gift] really is troublesome.

“You bastard, I’m going to murder you depending on your answer.”

“A Siscon sure is scary huh……..”

It’s too late for you to play the Hero now.

The time has come for me to close the curtain on my story with this annoying idiot.
