I, Who Was Reincarnated as an Evil Character With Cheat-Level Stats in an Eroge, Will Live Freely in This Life
“What should I do…”
After eating lunch out, I wandered around aimlessly.
There was nothing in particular to do at home, but then again, there was nothing to do outside either.
I could kill time by surfing the internet or playing games, but…
“Well, I’m bored, so I’ll just wander around a little longer…”
That’s when it happened…
(Bang!)
Someone came running around the corner and bumped into me.
“I’m sorry…”
The girl who bumped into me apologized breathlessly.
She looked surprised when she saw my face, but to be honest, I was also quite surprised, even though I tried not to show it.
Oh my god, no way… I know this girl.
Her name is Nanashima Kana. She is a girl in her third year of junior high school.
She is 157 cm tall, has big eyes, and is a beautiful girl with short black hair.
She has a cheerful and energetic personality and is a very kind girl.
She is good at sports but not so good at studying.
The reason I know all this is not because she is acquainted with Kisaragi.
The reason I know her… is because she’s one of the heroines.
There are three heroines in total.
And the protagonist and the heroines are childhood friends, and this girl is actually the protagonist’s stepsister, a stepsister heroine.
Hey, Kana… you’re really scared, aren’t you… your face is pale.
Are you scared of me?
She’s a year younger than me, but we went to the same school, so it’s natural that she knows me, and this is a natural reaction.
What should I do… I didn’t think I would get involved, but I can’t give her a bad impression.
Besides, if Kana gets a bad impression of me now, it might become more troublesome in the future.
Thinking that, I decided to reply for now.
“It’s okay, don’t worry about it…”
“Hey!! Wait a minute, you little brat!!!”
As I was saying that, I heard a shout coming from the direction Kana had run off in.
“Ah…”
When Kana heard that voice, her face turned even paler, and now her hands and feet were shaking too.
And of course, I had no idea who the man who said that was… He couldn’t possibly be someone Kana knew, right?
He was clearly a bad guy. He was probably a college student, so I couldn’t imagine him being someone she knew.
Besides, if she were someone she knew, she wouldn’t be so scared.
Why was Kana being chased by such a man?
I don’t know the reason, but I decided to talk to her anyway.
Her face was so pale, and if she was in danger, I couldn’t just ignore her.
“Hey, you look really pale. Are you okay?”
“…Ugh.”
It seemed like Kana was too scared to respond to my words.
There’s no way this is okay.
“Damn it!! I finally caught up with you!!”
When the man said that, Kana’s trembling grew even worse.
I don’t really understand, but it seems clear that she was running away from this man.
“Damn it!! You bumped into me and then ran away!!! You can’t escape anyway!!!”
“I’m sorry…”
“Sorry isn’t good enough!”
I decided to intervene in the conversation.
Kana isn’t the type of person to make others angry, so I could imagine that the man was picking a fight with her for no reason.
“Excuse me, but even if she did bump into you, she’s apologizing, so why don’t you forgive her?”
“Huh? Who are you?”
“It doesn’t matter… Besides, dhe’s apologizing, so why not forgive her? It’s just a bump, so there’s no need to get so angry, right?”
“Don’t mess with me! She bumped into me, so she has to take responsibility and pay for it with her body, or I won’t calm down!”
…Huh? What the hell is this guy talking about?
I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard this man saying such nonsensical things.
Sure, Kana is cute, but what he’s saying makes no sense at all.
What the hell does it mean to pay with your body just for bumping into someone… Even if I give him the benefit of the doubt, shouldn’t it be money… but money doesn’t make sense either.
“Do you even understand what you’re saying? In a place like this…”
“Just shut up and hand her over!!!”
“There’s no way I’m giving her up!”
“It’s none of your business!!!”
“Even if it’s none of my business, I normally help, right? She’s clearly the victim here.”
“Shut up!!!”
This guy is hopeless… He doesn’t understand anything.
The man attacked me without listening to me.
It seems impossible to talk to this guy.
At that moment, I pulled Kana close to me and hid her behind me.
The man attacked me with all his strength without hesitation, so he seems to be somewhat experienced in fighting, but that’s all.
He wasn’t using his lower body at all, his balance was off, and his speed wasn’t impressive either. From my perspective as someone who had practiced martial arts, he was no different from an ordinary person.
I easily dodged his punch, knocked him down, restricted his movements, and restrained him.
“Ow!!! Damn it!!! Let me go!!!”
“Just stay still…”
“Damn it…”
I said, applying a little more force, and the man calmed down.
Well, I applied force until his bones were about to break, so it’s no surprise. He probably realized that struggling would only make things worse.
Then I looked at Kana.
Her face was still pale, but Kana was very surprised… she looked puzzled.
“Hey?”
I spoke to her, but she didn’t respond.
“Can’t you hear me?”
“Ah! W-what is it?”
No, you’re overreacting… I understand that you’re scared of me, but…
You don’t have to panic so much… but I guess that’s impossible in this situation.
“Can you call the police for me? I can’t do it myself.”
“Y-yes!”
Kana replied and called the police.
◇
A short time later, we were released.
Fortunately, the police investigation was quickly concluded as self-defense because other witnesses had filmed the incident and provided the footage.
After listening to Kana’s conversation with the police, I explained what had happened.
She was walking when that man bumped into her from behind and started picking a fight.
She apologized, but he wouldn’t forgive her, and he grabbed her arm, so she got scared and ran away.
That’s when she bumped into me.
Actually, even after hearing it again, I still don’t understand what he meant
Also, if she hadn’t bumped into me, she might have been able to escape…
I thought about that too, but even though Kana is good at sports, she’s still a middle school student, and the other person is a college student, so it wouldn’t have been easy for her to escape.
“Are you okay?”
Kana seemed to have calmed down quite a bit now that she had some time to herself.
“Yes… Thank you.”
“That’s good, but… Can you get home safely?”
“Yes… I’m fine.”
Kana said that while still looking down.
Well, even though I helped her, it’s still scary to look at her face.
Looking at her like this, I think I should just go home… I want to offer to walk her home, but she’s so scared that I don’t think I can.
Besides, I’m pretty sure Kana’s house is pretty close to here.
“Well, take care.”
“… ”
When I said that, Kana nodded silently.
Then I left the scene.
◇
“I never thought I’d meet the stepsister heroine, first…”
The protagonist’s stepsister, Nanashima Kana.
Kana became the protagonist’s stepsister when her mother remarried when she was in kindergarten.
Kana also attends the same school, so I knew we would meet eventually, but I didn’t expect it to be so sudden.
Actually, she’s really cute when you see her up close.
She’s so cute that she can only be described as a heroine.
I’ll be able to meet the other heroines tomorrow, so I’m looking forward to it.
“Anyway, the entrance ceremony…”
Tomorrow is finally the high school entrance ceremony, and the game will begin.
I’m going to overturn my bad reputation… It’s impossible.
I think it’s safe to say that it’s impossible. That’s because Kisaragi Seito did whatever he wanted.
And it’s almost impossible for someone like me to make friends.
So, it’s almost certain that I’ll be alone at school…
Well, things will work out somehow… I’m used to being alone anyway.
Still, even if I can’t make friends, it’ll take time, but I might want to do something about the fact that everyone hates me.
