I, Who Was Reincarnated as an Evil Character With Cheat-Level Stats in an Eroge, Will Live Freely in This Life
Monday, I went to school as usual and headed home alone.
The weekend before had been eventful with all the stuff related to Kana, but everything ended well and smoothly, and I’m glad about that.
I also need to properly handle the matter Kana mentioned about Miku and Saki.
Well, I’m not entirely sure what the best approach is either, so maybe taking it slow is okay.
I don’t fully understand what Miku and Saki are thinking either, and unlike Kana, they don’t seem particularly proactive about this sort of thing.
If I just charge ahead on my own because Kana told me to, they’d probably be confused.
So, based on my current thinking, I plan to be proactive just enough that they don’t feel overwhelmed, while gradually confirming their feelings.
Of course, I don’t need to say this, but I have absolutely no intention of neglecting Kana during this time. In fact, since things have progressed with Kana, I really want to hang out with her a lot too.
Anyway, everyone seemed a bit off today, didn’t they?
Well, just a little off, but especially Miku and Saki.
Miku and Saki both talk to me looking me in the eye now, but today they were different.
Miku was a bit awkward at first whenever she talked to me. She was back to normal after a bit, but I wondered why just at first?
As for Saki, it wasn’t just the beginning—whenever she talked to me, she’d look at me, then look away, all flustered.
Hmm. Maybe it’s that?
They should know Kana stayed over at my place, so maybe that’s why?
It felt a little different than when we talked about it last week, but it was kind of similar.
“Well, it’ll probably be fine.”
Apparently, the three of us had plans to hang out after school today.
Come to think of it, Kana told me about the two of them too. But does Kana tell Miku and Saki the same thing, just like she tells me?
Knowing Kana, she probably told them before telling me…
Well, maybe I shouldn’t dwell on that too much. When it comes to the two of them, it’s not about relying on Kana—it’s something I have to work on myself.
Thinking that, I headed home.

—After school, we were at Saki-nee’s place.
“Phew—finally back home—”
“Back home? This isn’t your house.”
“Well, you’ve been coming here forever. If Kana-chan wants to call it home, neither Mom nor I would say no.”
“If Saki says it’s fine, then I guess it’s fine…”
“Of course, Miku-chan feels the same way too.”
“Y-You don’t need to state the obvious like that…”
When Saki-nee said that, Miku-nee replied, looking a little embarrassed.
“Miku-nee, you’re so cute when you get shy!”
“Shut up, Kana!!”
“Hehehe”
“Anyway, you two said you had something to talk about. What is it?”
It was true that we had originally planned to hang out today, just like I told Seito-senpai. But this morning, the three of us got a separate message saying there was something else we needed to discuss.
When I said that, Saki-nee, who had been smiling until just now, and Miku-nee, who had been blushing, both shifted to serious expressions.
Seeing that, I knew this was an important conversation.
What could it be… I waited for them to speak, feeling a little worried.
Then, the two of them looked at each other as if confirming something, and Miku-nee started speaking.
“Do you remember what Kana told us before?”
“Something I told you two before?”
“Yeah. Um… it’s about what Kana-chan said before… about Kisaragi-kun…”
Saki-nee said, looking a little embarrassed.
The things I told them about Seito-senpai… I’ve said plenty about him, but if they’re asking about that specific thing, then it must be that one, right?
The thing I said about Seito-senpai when we were at karaoke…
“You mean what I said at karaoke?”
When I asked that, they both blushed and nodded silently.
“Of course I remember, but what about it?”
“W-well… I’ll go first, then.”
“Y-yeah…”
After saying that, Miku-nee took a deep breath and spoke.
“Um, Kana… Actually, I… I’m… I’m kind of… kind of interested in Kisaragi…”
“Kana-chan… I, I feel the same way as Miku-chan… I, I think I might be interested in Kisaragi-kun too…”
Both of them were bright red, looking embarrassed.
They said they were interested, but I already knew that long ago.
The other day, when I spent the night with Seito-senpai… I was incredibly happy.
When I’m with Seito-senpai, it feels like I keep setting new records for how happy I’ve ever been… I truly feel so happy.
I want to be happy with Seito-senpai, but just as much, I want Miku-nee and Saki-nee to be happy too. So, I spoke to Miku-nee, Saki-nee, and Seito-senpai, as if giving them a push forward.
Miku-nee and Saki-nee have clearly changed since getting involved with Seito-senpai. For the better, of course.
Miku-nee started talking about her past and occasionally confiding her worries to us now. She started relying on us. And above all, I think she smiles more.
Saki-nee doesn’t put herself down as much anymore, or rather, she doesn’t seem so lacking in confidence. She’s less timid around others than before, and I think she’s grown tremendously… Saying it like that might sound condescending, but coming from someone who’s been with her all along, it’s truly heartwarming.
Ever since getting involved with Seito-senpai, both of them have changed. In fact, my relationship with the two of them has become even closer than before.
All of this is thanks to Seito-senpai.
I was drifting off thinking about all that, but I told them both.
“I see… So what do you two want to do about it?”
When I asked that, Miku-nee blushed first, but then looked me straight in the eye.
“W-Well, seeing Kana and Kisaragi together… I felt envious… S-So I want to try harder to become closer with Kisaragi too. I thought I should tell Kana first, that’s why I brought it up today…”
Then Saki-nee spoke.
“I, I feel the same… I also like Kisaragi-kun… Ever since he saved me that time… If Kana-chan will forgive me, I want to get closer to Kisaragi-kun too…”
“I see…”
“That’s how we feel, but like we said before, are you really okay with this, Kana?”
Of course I’m okay with it.
I adore both of them, and their happiness is my happiness.
And above all, I’m thrilled that they’ve come to like my beloved Seito-senpai this much. Seito-senpai really is an amazing guy!
“Of course, Miku-nee! Saki-nee! Because if you two also end up with Seito-senpai, then in the future, the three of us could become a real family!! Getting to be family with three people I love so much? That’s amazing!!!”
I said that to reassure them it’d be okay, but it’s also how I truly feel.
It’s still a long way off, and who knows what’ll happen, but if you two start dating Seito-senpai and then all of us end up getting married, the four of us would become family.
From my perspective, there’s no way that wouldn’t make me happy!
And when I said that with a smile, their expressions softened a little, and they smiled back.
“Kana-chan, that’s definitely jumping the gun a bit.”
“Yeah, maybe. But thanks.”
“No way! You two are totally fine!!”
I said that and hugged them both.
“It’s hot, Kana.”
“I love you too, Kana-chan, Miku-chan.”
“I-I feel the same way too…”
“Ehehe.”
After that, we chatted a lot and had a wonderful time.
