I Play the Role of (Villain/Heroine) in a Japanese-style Otome Game Chapter 3.1

Chapter 03 – Villain and School Life [Part 1]

　Several days after I took on the villain’s appearance .
The enrollment ceremony is today .

　The heroine’s name is Naba Yui .
Her seat number is after mine .
Also, she sits on my right during the enrollment ceremony .

　Soft-looking light golden hair .
Lively deep green eyes that dart around in an adorable manner .
Her cheeks are lightly coloured and possess a charm that makes one want to hug her instinctively .  

How cuteー……
As expected of the heroineー……

　I watch her absentmindedly .
It may be because I’m a phantom .
She also seems to have some sort of sweet smell, causing me to be unable to take my eyes away .

“Erm, what is your name?”

　Perhaps she noticed my intense gaze; the heroine stealthily speaks to me .
Chuckling, I give my name .

“It’s Tomonaga Chako . You know, I don’t really like the surname ‘Tomonaga’ so I’d like you to call me by my first name, Chako, if possible . ”
“Un, okay . Naba Yui . Erm, it’ll be nice if you can call me by my first name too…”
“Yui-chan, right . Sure . Sorry, I don’t know many people so my behaviour may be slightly strange . ”
“Ah, me too . ”
“You too, Yui-chan? Thank goodness, I was wondering what will I do if I’m the only one who can’t make friends . ”

　When I giggle, Yui-chan also chuckles .

　As such, it doesn’t take much time for the two of us to get on cordial terms .

　Anyhow, I came to this school for the sake of becoming close friends with Yui-chan .
Both my surname and seat number were forcibly set so that I’ll be next to her after all .

　I pa.s.s the days with Yui-chan, being prim and proper cla.s.smates .
Yui-chan and I have decided to eat ice cream after school today .
The route to the ice cream shop is different from our usual one and we’ve to take a slight detour .
Therefore, we step into a vacant area in an attempt to take a shortcut but――

“It came . ”
“It came again, huh . ”

　Before my eyes is a phantom of about 2 metres tall .
There are thorn-like things protruding from its entire body and its arm is oddly huge, about the same size as its body .
When that phantom spots Yui-chan, with a face that has no eyes, it grins with its mouth alone and swings its huge arm .

“Be careful, Yui-chan!”

　Carrying Yui-chan who’s stupefied beside me, I jump backwards .
An angular grater-like arm digs through the ground of the position where Yui-chan and I were at .
　What I came to understand after becoming friends with Yui-chan, is that her encounter rate with phantoms are high .
Simply by dropping by vacant areas, things like this happen .

“Sorry, Chako!”
“No problem~, leave it to me~ . ”

　After lowering Yui-chan, I rapidly kick the ground .
The phantom with the grater-like arm swings that arm in my direction but I ignore that and continue forth .

　Slow .

　I thought it was due to the sheer ma.s.s of that arm, but it’s totally slow be it its up or downwards swinging motion .
Do you really think that’ll hit me?
I seriously feel like asking it, but I doubt there’ll be an opportunity to do so .
In a split-second, I step close to the phantom’s bosom and, stab, sink my right hand into its stomach .
Quickly pulling out, I jump backwards to avoid getting crushed by its huge arm .

　Bwuogwooh .

　Dusky blood flows from its stomach as it makes a weird sound .
Then, it crumples to the ground and disintegrates .

“Are you okay, Chako?”
“Yeah, it’s a breeze . Gosh, its movements were too slow . ”

　Even while I exchange banter, my breath comes close to becoming dishevelled due to my body that’s becoming tingling hot .

　More .
I want more .

“It’s definitely because Chako’s too strong . ”

　Not knowing that I’m desperately trying to suppress my appet.i.te, Yui-chan goes “Amazing, amazing”, giving me unadulterated praise .
Being praised by Yui-chan makes me happy and I let out a big smile .
And by forcing myself to smile, the feeling of『wanting more』that gushes up in my heart is able to be slightly suppressed .

“Of course . After all, I may have been born to protect Yui-chan . ”
“Sheesh, Chako’s always pulling my leg . ”

　Ahaha, the two of us laugh .
