Episode 87 – A call from Natsumi san


I, Who Was Reincarnated as an Evil Character With Cheat-Level Stats in an Eroge, Will Live Freely in This Life


โ€œPhewโ€ฆ I’m really glad it turned out to be such a good day.โ€

After dropping Miku off at her house, I murmured that to myself.

It was truly great that I managed to become Miku’s boyfriend today, and it was really great that we got to enjoy places like the cat cafe together.

Seeing Miku’s reactions made me think again how glad I was I confessed early, and that taking action was definitely the right callโ€ฆ

So now I’m dating Kana, Saki, and Mikuโ€ฆ In the end, it turned out like in that game I playedโ€”like I snatched them away from Nanashima, even though I never intended to do that at firstโ€ฆ

Well, about that, I can only say it happened as it was meant to, and I don’t feel the slightest bit sorry about it.

Honestly, that guy probably couldn’t have saved any of them anyway. Hell, I doubt he could make any of them happy going forward. And above all, none of them were even remotely into him.

But then I fell for all three of them, and they fell for meโ€ฆ There’s absolutely no reason I should feel sorry towards him.

Just as I was thinking that, the phone rang.

Who could it be? I checked and saw it was Kana’s mother, Natsumi-san.

โ€œHello, Seito-kun? Is now a good time?โ€

Natsumi-san seemed to be walking outside; I could hear footsteps and the sound of cars passing through the phone.

โ€œYes. It’s fine. Is something wrong?โ€

โ€œNo, nothing’s wrong. I was just wondering if anything had changed since then.โ€

โ€œSince thenโ€ referred to the last time I’d been in contact with Natsumi san.

I’d exchanged contact information with Natsumi so we could share information if anything happened regarding Kana and Nanashima.

For Natsumi and Kazuki san, their daughter and stepson were fighting, so of course they couldn’t help but be concerned.

Of course, it seems she asks Kana about it fairly often too, but I get the feeling she might contact me sometimes as well. Not that she’s thinking about it too seriously, but just in case, you know.

โ€œYeah. Nothing’s changed on our end that I’ve been able to confirm. How about you, Natsumi?โ€

โ€œNothing much on my end either. It’s still a bit of a problem that the two of them still won’t even look at each otherโ€ฆโ€

Well, from Natsumi’s perspective, that makes senseโ€ฆ

Since I’m the cause, I feel incredibly guilty, but there’s nothing I can do about itโ€ฆ

โ€œI knowโ€ฆ I’m sorry.โ€

“Ah! No, that’s not it! I’m not saying it’s Seito’s fault! I just wish Tsubasa would act a little more mature. Even though he’s worried about his stepsister, he doesn’t seem to believe Kana when she says you’re kindโ€ฆ”

The reason Nanashima is rejecting me more than necessary is probably because he found out Kana likes meโ€ฆ Natsumi-san doesn’t seem to have noticed, but Nanashima definitely saw Kana as a member of the opposite sex.

Well, even without that, I don’t think things would have changed much.

โ€œI seeโ€ฆโ€

โ€œAnd you know, we really think it’s great that Seito-kun is Kana’s boyfriend, okay? Kana sends us messages about Seito-kun every day, and she sounds so genuinely happy. She can’t talk about it openly at home because Tsubasa is there, but you can really tell just from the messages.โ€

It’s so typical of Kana, really.

Plus, Kana adores Natsumi-san, and sharing happy news right away seems to be a long-standing habit of hers. Hearing that makes me happy tooโ€ฆ

The fact she’s reporting on me that much means it’s something that makes her happy, right?

โ€œI seeโ€ฆโ€

โ€œYeah. So you don’t need to feel bad about Tsubasa. We don’t know what the future holds, but the two will grow up eventually.โ€

It’s two and a half years until Nanashima and I graduate high school.

It’s three and a half years until Kana graduates.

I don’t know what Nanashima will do after graduation, but Kana will probably follow us and come to the same university. If that happens, the two of them will see each other way less oftenโ€ฆ

Well, that wouldn’t solve the problem fundamentally, but I don’t think a fundamental solution to this issue is even possibleโ€ฆ I’m dating not just Kana, but also Saki and Miku too. That goes without saying.

โ€œWell, anyway, congratulations about Miku-chan too.โ€

โ€œThank you.โ€

The reason Natsumi-san knows about me and Miku starting to date today is probably because Kana told her.

Earlier, after Miku and I started dating, we both contacted Kana and Saki. When we did, she asked me excitedly if it was okay to tell Natsumi-san too.

Well, there were two reasons for that desire: the promise Natsumi-san, Kana, and I made, and simply wanting to share the joy.

Incidentally, that promise was her saying she’d like me to tell her if I ever got another girlfriend.

This sort of thing isn’t that unusual in this polygamous world. She even said she trusted me to some extent. Still, knowing my past, I get why Natsumi would want to ask. It’s not like there’s zero chance I’d date someone I was involved with during that rough period.

I had no reason to refuse telling her either. In fact, back then, I hadn’t even considered that Saki and Miku were involved too! So without hesitation, I just said, โ€œSure, I’ll tell you.โ€

That’s the reason why Natsumi knows about Miku and Saki.

Of course, sharing this with Natsumi was something I got permission for from both Miku and Saki.

Actually, come to think of it, maybe I should tell Saki’s parents too. Those twoโ€ฆ well, they trust me completely, so maybe I don’t have to tell them, but still.

And Miku’s parents tooโ€ฆ but I’ll discuss that with Miku first. I’ve only met her mom once, and besides, we just started dating.

As I was thinking that, Natsumi-san said.

โ€œI’m sure you’ll be fine, Seito-kun, but please make sure to make Kana happy, of course, and Saki-chan and Miku-chan too. They’re both such wonderful girls.โ€

โ€œOf course, that goes without saying.โ€

โ€œKana thinks of Miku-chan and Saki-chan like they’re her real sisters!! She was so happy about it.โ€

โ€œThat makes sense. She reacted the same way when I started dating Saki-san, and just now when she called.โ€

โ€œHehehe, I knew it. Well then, I should wrap up this call soon.โ€

โ€œYes, understood.โ€

โ€œIf anything happens, tell me right away. Also, like I said before, even if it’s not about Kana, if you ever have trouble yourself, Seito-kun, you can lean on me, okay?โ€

โ€œThank you. I’ll definitely reach out if I need anything!โ€

โ€œOkay. Then you’ll be fine! See you later.โ€

โ€œYes. Good night, Natsumi-san.โ€

โ€œGood night, Seito-kun.โ€

And so, I ended my call with Natsumi-san.
