I Reincarnated as the Villain in a Rom-Com but I’m Enjoying Youth with My Favorite Heroine - I Reincarnated as the Villain in a Rom-Com but I’m Enjoying Youth with My Favorite Heroine chapter 51

51. The Sea and the Villain①

A vast expanse of pure white sand.

A refreshing breeze carrying the scent of the sea brushes against my cheeks.

The cobalt blue sea sparkles under the bright sunlight.

Having arrived at our destination, the beach, we gaze at the beautiful ocean spread out before us.

The beach is bustling with many tourists.

Colorful beach umbrellas stand like a canvas on the white sandy beach, with numerous tourists swaying beyond the waves.

“It’s amazing, Ryusuke. The sea sparkles like jewels; it’s so beautiful. The weather is great, so it might be the perfect day for a beach trip.”

“Yeah, it really is beautiful.”

While gazing at the sea, Mashiro spreads her arms wide, surrendering to the sea breeze.

Her fluffy, swaying pure white dress and soft black hair fluttering in the wind make her look like an angel in a flowing robe.

That sight is so beautiful that I find myself captivated more by Mashiro standing next to me than by the view of the sea.

(Really beautiful.)

Illuminated by the dazzling summer sunlight, her beauty seems to increase even more.

I can’t help but be mesmerized, and suddenly our eyes meet.

She smiles a little shyly and gently intertwines her fingers with mine.

Her small, warm palm transmits Mashiro’s body heat, which feels pleasant. My heart races like a drum, and warmth spreads across my face.

And above all, I feel embarrassed that she noticed I was staring at her, so I hurriedly turned my face away to hide my blush.

As I tried to peek into my face, Mashiro wore a mischievous smile. It seemed she could see right through what I was thinking.

“Ah, Ryusuke, where are you looking? Come on, look this way?”

“No.”

“Huh? Why not?”

“Because right now, I’m making a weird face.”

“That’s not true. I bet you look cute.”

“You’re lying, it’s definitely weird.”

To avoid showing my blushing face to Mashiro, I stubbornly turned away. Perhaps it looked funny, as Mashiro let out a giggle.

While Mashiro and I were having our usual banter, my younger sister Mai was watching us with a beaming expression.

“Big brother and Mashiro-san are really close, huh? Do you always flirt like that?”

“Sh-Shut up. We’re not flirting. I’m just being teased by Mashiro.”

“Is that really true? It doesn’t look that way to me.”

Being teased by Mai only made my embarrassment swell even more. At this rate, I might just suffer from heatstroke from the summer sun and my own shyness.

“W-Well, anyway, we came to the beach today. There are changing rooms at the beach house, so we need to move quickly and change.”

“Ah, big brother tried to dodge that! Mashiro-san, big brother is really embarrassed right now!”

“Hehe, I agree with Mai-chan. Ryusuke-kun is really cute.”

“…Ugh. I’m seriously going to get heatstroke.”

I was at a loss against Mashiro’s teasing nature.

Mai was also having fun poking fun at me, and I thought both of them had such good personalities.

With those two in tow, I headed toward the beach house.

The beach house built at this beach was quite a splendid structure.

Inside, there were many types of food for sale, and in the back, there were changing rooms and shower rooms, along with a powder room for women. There were also lockers with locks to store our belongings, which was convenient.

I heard that you could rent beach umbrellas and leisure sheets, so I planned to borrow some after changing.

“Mashiro, please take care of Mai. I’m going to change too.”

“Okay, let’s meet back here after we change into our swimsuits!”

“Yay! I can finally see Mashiro-san in a swimsuit! I’m really looking forward to it!”

With an excited Mai in tow, Mashiro entered the women’s changing room inside the beach house.

Just as I was about to head toward the men’s changing room on the opposite side—

“—Geh, Shindo Ryusuke…?”

An unfamiliar voice reached my ears. No way, I wanted to believe it was just a misunderstanding.

As I cautiously turned around… there stood a man, staring at me with eyes that seemed to witness something unbelievable.

And as I saw that, my face turned pale in an instant.

Because there he was… the protagonist of this story—Raito Fusegawa.
