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 75

75. The Moment to Move

After preparing dinner for her sister Mai, Mashiro gathered drinks, towels, cooling sheets, and other necessities, completing her nursing duties before turning off the lights in the room.

“Ryusuke, I’ll come check on you again tomorrow.”

With that, she waved her hand cheerfully as she headed home. With the new school term starting and everything being busy, I truly felt indebted to Mashiro for taking care of me.

When Mai returned from club activities and learned that Mashiro had prepared dinner, she jumped for joy, tears streaming down her face as she devoured the special hamburgers.

On top of that, she made the unreasonable request, “Big brother, I want you to stay sick from now on,” just so she could eat Mashiro’s cooking every day.

Both siblings were completely captivated by Mashiro’s home-cooked meals, but for Mai, the equation of Mashiro’s cooking ＞ brother’s health was quite a complex one.

In any case, I decided to prioritize getting better quickly, so I planned to rest thoroughly and not go to school the next day.

I knew that if I contacted them, they’d probably suspect, “Is he skipping again?” so I had my mom call the school for me, and now I was quietly lying in bed.

Perhaps it was also thanks to the egg porridge, miso soup, and fruit yogurt that Mashiro had made for me yesterday. When I woke up in the morning, my fever had completely subsided, and I no longer felt any headache or fatigue.

However, since there is a possibility of a relapse if I push myself like yesterday, I intend to absolutely rest today. It’s a promise to Mashiro, and I can’t worry her any further.

With that in mind, while lying under the blanket, I fiddled with my smartphone and exchanged messages with Mashiro.

Compared to yesterday, my fever has gone down, thank you for the porridge, my little sister Mai was extremely happy, and the conversations displayed on my smartphone are the usual ones.

At our Kizakura Academy High School, bringing smartphones to school is allowed. As long as we don’t use them during class, teachers won’t reprimand us.

Mashiro is a diligent student who strictly follows the school rules, so when class begins, I won’t hear from her again until the next break. Just imagining Mashiro seriously attending class, facing the blackboard, makes me unconsciously smile.

As I was chatting with Mashiro through messages, we began talking about the upcoming second semester of school life.

The major event of the second semester is the cultural festival.

It seems that Mashiro’s class wants to run a maid café.

She happily told me that the class has already united and started preparations during summer vacation.

“By the way, what is Ryusuke’s class planning to do? Have you decided on any candidates yet?”

“Not at all, not yet. Honestly, I’m surprised by the motivation of your class after hearing what Mashiro said.”

“Everyone is really motivated, you know? So look forward to it, okay? I’m going to make a really cute maid outfit. I’m sure Ryusuke will like it.”

“I’m looking forward to it. I’ll definitely come to see it on the day.”

Cultural festivals are an essential element in school-themed romantic comedies, where the protagonist enjoys the festival with the heroine—it’s a given.

In the episode of “Fusekoi” that I know, the protagonist, Fusegawa Yorito, had various romantic situations unfold while going on dates around the school with the heroines.

(Mashiro and a cultural festival date… that would definitely be fun.)

I feel a bit embarrassed thinking such things, but it’s unreasonable to not be aware of my beautiful childhood friend.

Moreover, in my previous life during the cultural festival in high school, I wasn’t blessed with friends to go around with.

I remember sitting alone on a folding chair in the gym, which became an event venue for various activities, waiting for time to pass without doing anything unless I was assigned a class duty.

Because I have experienced such a lonely cultural festival, I have a strong desire to enjoy it in this second life. However—.

“The cultural festival… is when Shindo Ryusuke starts to move as the antagonist in the original story.”

As the second semester begins, the readers would get tired of just the protagonist and heroine’s lovey-dovey interactions. The strongest antagonist in the story finally begins to act as a plot twist.

Shindo Ryusuke, who originally viewed the protagonist as an enemy, clashes with the protagonist, Fusegawa Yorito, in the second semester. A situation arises where Shindo Ryusuke, who rarely comes to school, picks a fight, creating a tense atmosphere.

He begins to thoroughly interfere with the protagonist, who is leading the cultural festival events, but the protagonist overcomes those obstacles and successfully holds the cultural festival with the heroines.

Fusegawa Yorito’s class shows the most excitement at the cultural festival, attracting many visitors and receiving great acclaim… that should have been the story during the festival.

However, wishing to break away from the role of the antagonist, I am filled with the desire to work together as a class to make the cultural festival a success rather than disrupt it. Yet, this world likely desires a development faithful to the original story. I have no idea what will happen.

Even so, I will enjoy the cultural festival with Mashiro no matter what happens.

This feeling will not change, no matter what.

While reaffirming this in my heart, I continue exchanging messages with Mashiro.

I want tomorrow to come quickly so I can see Mashiro again. While thinking such thoughts, I can’t help but smile at the cute cat stamp she sent me.
