Volume 5 - CH 3

Miyamura Towa

After that, Sakuya merged with our group.

Although she is the only one who’s not a game character here, she blends well with the group and it was not awkward at all for her to be here.

To be honest, the one who felt the most awkward by her addition is probably me.

“They put up the class chart already.”

“Alright, let’s see who gets to be in the same class as Hideyori-kun this year!”

“I’m going to check it out first!”

“Akechi-kun, is it normal for the characters of this game to always be this excited over a class chart?”

“Who knows………”

The only ones who were still composed were me and Tsugaru.

I’m not really good with her but since sometimes she overlaps with that person so much I just can’t bring myself to speak very strongly against her.

“Come on! Hideyori, Madoka! You two come take a look too!”

“Yeah, yeah……..”

Just like that, we all took a look at the class chart.

And the results are.

“Ara, we’re in different classes again. How refreshing.”

“I’m in a different class from Akechi-kun again!”

“This is weird right! Hideyori’s name is not in my class!?”

Tsugaru, Risa, and Sakuya ended up in a different class.

“We’re in the same class again. I will be in your care alright my BF.”

“Y, Yeah……”

“We did it, Hideyori-kun!”

“Y, Yeah……”

Like how it has been until now, I’m in the same class as Takeru.

With the addition of Emi this time.

“You and I really are tied together by friendship and fate, my dear friend.”

“That’s right, it’s definitely fate.”

The existence of Fate(lol) does scare me so I can’t really make fun of it.

That said…….

I take a look at the list of my classmates.

.

.

.

That name……..

.

.

.

“It seems you have a heroine in your class this year huh.”

“Yeah, I will have to avoid the original development somehow.”

Takeru would probably be useless for that though.

That left Emi and Tsugaru being the only two I can ask for help.

“Fufu, good luck then.”

Saying so, Tsugaru walked away with a smile.

In the game, Tsugaru Madoka is a character that was left completely outside of the loop after all.

I will definitely crush the original story!

“You know, Risa was—–!”

“Yeah, and Risa-chan also——!”

“……oh, really……….”

Why do these two keep talking about Risa to me I wonder…….

Well, she’s a heroine. It’s to be expected that she’s popular.

Then, when we approached our classroom, I spotted a heroine standing in front of it.

Considering the game’s story, this is way too early but the heroine with semi-long lilac-colored hair has made her entrance.

Her melancholy expression gives off an adult-like feeling.

The honor student heroine with super big breasts.

She gained a lot of popularity from the players because of the sorrowful vibe she gives off. ( The most pitiful character in the game is still the girl with a mole underneath her eye who lives next door to me though.)

Among the heroines of the first game, she’s definitely my first choice of Oshi!

Miyamura Towa!

Her name was written as [Eien] but it reads as [Towa]!

(TLN: Eien in Japanese means Eternity, Eternal)

Thus the players gave her the nickname of Eien-chan

(TLN: Eternity-chan?)

Uwahhh! It’s Eien-chan! I love you!

Damn it. Thinking of how that despicable Akechi Hideyori messed up her life already made my blood boil. Still, this is Eien-chan who’s still in her purest state!

She’s the reason why I bought [Breaking the Chain of Sadness] games in the first place.

THE ONE AND ONLY MIYAMURA TOWA!!

If anything, my favorability toward her is already maxed out.

“Man, It’s exciting to see who we will meet this year isn’t it!”

“Meeting Hideyori-kun alone is already enough for me.”

I let Takeru and Emi enter the classroom first.

While I stopped my feet in front of Eien-chan.

“Good morning!”

“G, Good morning!”

“……!?”

I started a conversation with her!

I started a conversation with Eien-chan!

The fans of the first game would probably stab me for this……..

I’VE MET A HEROINE, WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Come to think of it, Risa’s also a heroine isn’t she……..

But Risa’s popularity is relatively low.

After all, engaging in a relationship with your real sister is a bit too much for most people.

She would be perfect if she was Hideyori’s younger sister though. (That said, I would be hesitant to go after the scumbag’s little sister too……)

Moreover, she’s a cheerful heroine that’s relatively the most untainted by tragedies.

In a sense, Risa’s a heroine that gives you two completely different impressions between the trial version and the complete game.

“I’m Akechi Hideyori. Nice to meet you.”

“Y, Yes! I’m Miyamura Towa. my name was written as [Eien] but it reads as [Towa]. It is nice to meet you too, Akechi-san.”

“Miyamura-san. Can you try saying Akechi Mitsuhide and Toyotomi Hideyori?”

“Eh?…….Akechi Mitsuhide, Toyotomi Hideyori. Is that okay?”

“Yes! Thank you very much! I was told by an acquaintance to pick one among those names but please call me whichever you find easiest to remember.”

Eien-chan was a little surprised but soon she understood what I meant and she smiled at me.

Also, her voice can literally make my brain turn into jelly.

The pure impression that the voice actress gave her is really wonderful.

Because of that, I indirectly made her call my name in my previous life, Toyotomi Mitsuhide.

No good, I’m getting too excited!

“Fufu, you are a funny person Akechi-san! Are you also in this class?”

“That’s right. Miyamura-san as well?”

“Yes, we are in the same class. I’m glad I can be in the same class as you Akechi-san!”

I’m glad, she said!

I’ve cursed the fact that I’ve reincarnated as Akechi Hideyori countless times already but this might actually be the reward for surviving so far huh, this is the best day of my life.

“Let’s do our best to fit in our new class together.”

“Yes! Let’s do our best!”

“Ah, my friends are waiting for me. I’ve to go.”

“I see. Thank you for talking to me.”

Just like that, I successfully made contact with the Heroine.

“Eh? Where’s Hideyori…..?”

“Eh? Hideyori-kun, he always disappears whenever we get a new class…….”

It seems that they finally noticed that I was gone only a moment before I entered the classroom.

TLN: There’s an author note here but I will summarize it.

The reason the author named the character after Toyotomi Hideyori, rather than Toyotomi Hideyoshi who’s much more famous is that Hideyori was much more poorly regarded in modern media and is a historical figure often associated with misfortune.

However, his lineage is still a cheat. Even Tokugawa Ieyasu himself thought [This guy’s bad news] when he first saw the young Hideyori since he inherited the same blood as Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Azai Nagamasa.

In a sense, the name Hideyori kind of gives the vibe of someone who possesses a cheat and someone unfortunate at the same time.

On the other hand, the name Akechi, from Akechi Mitsuhide, represents betrayal.

After all, Akechi Hideyori was someone who always betrays others in the game.

Thus the name Akechi Hideyori here was given with the intended vibe of a [Traitorous Cheat].
