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 85

85. After Returning Home

The long-awaited night stroll with Mashiro was delightful.

As we cuddled on the grass of the embankment, we exchanged quiet words. The mundane conversation was strangely enjoyable, and each interaction with Mashiro felt like an irreplaceable, precious treasure, vividly etched in my mind.

As night falls and it becomes cooler, I wonder if it’s a sign that autumn is approaching. The stars are beautiful, and there’s something special about the quiet that brings a sense of relaxation.

After spending time together until it was not too late, I walk Mashiro back to her apartment. We promise to chat again at school tomorrow.

Until the cultural festival begins, both of us will be busy, but I want to cherish moments like this where we can spend time together at a leisurely pace.

Thinking about this as I return home, I immediately open my notebook on my desk and start contemplating the sweets we plan to present at the cultural festival.

As a member of the class, I want to contribute and work hard to dispel the image of the “villain: Ryusuke Shindo” that remains among them through the cultural festival. Although my environment has been changing through my usual class behavior and exam results, it will still take time to overturn everything.

Then there’s the matter of Himeno and Fusegawa Yorito. The differences from the original story, and how the developments will unfold from here. In any case, I want to quickly solve the issue that gave rise to Fusegawa Yorito’s anomaly, not just for myself but also for Himeno, who provided me with the opportunity to become friends.

“Big brother, I’m coming in—”

“Yeah, what’s up?”

I hear my sister Mai’s voice from the entrance of the room.

As I respond, the door opens, and my sister, dressed in her school uniform, peeks her head in. She’s holding what looks like school assignments and textbooks, and she seems to be in a bit of trouble.

“Is there something you don’t understand with your assignments?”

“Ugh, yes! Help me, big brother~”

Lately, it’s been common for Mai to come to me like this, asking for help.

Since I got the top score in the first semester finals, the way Mai looks at me has changed quite a bit, and now, whenever she has trouble with her studies, she often comes rolling into my room.

“Alright, alright. Come here, and I’ll help you.”

“Yay! I love you, big brother!”

“Just show me the printouts.”

In contrast to earlier, Mai jumps up and down joyfully, and when she brings the printouts over and sits next to me, she snuggles close.

She then places the printouts and textbooks on the desk, asking about a particular part she doesn’t understand. I almost smile at her adorable round forehead as I seriously start teaching her.

“Wow, big brother, you’re really smart. You’re good at teaching too. As expected of my proud big brother—handsome~ kind~ the best~”

“Hey, pay attention and be serious.”

Recently, she’s been teasing me a lot, so I pinch her round cheek with my finger, saying, “Is this cheek the one being cheeky?” and she lets out an exaggerated scream of “Kya!” while bursting into laughter.

Though she’s still a bit of a spoiled little sister, teaching her like this has helped her grades improve significantly, allowing her to rank among the top in her grade. As a brother, I’m happy about this, and I can’t help but spoil Mai, who looks up to me.

After finishing the problems, Mai stretches her body with a smile and starts tidying up her textbook and printouts with satisfaction.

“Phew. Thanks to you, I was able to solve the parts I didn’t understand. Thank you, big brother.”

“You’re welcome. If you have any more questions, just come anytime.”

“You’re really reliable. As expected of my big brother. I love you~”

“Alright, alright. Now that you’re done, you should head back to your own room.”

“Oh? There’s still time, so let’s chat a little more~”

Saying this, Mai tries to stay in the room.

Well, as long as it’s not a bother, I thought it might be nice to chat, so I decided to engage in conversation with Mai while considering the dessert menu.
