The Protagonist Speaks Out?

    ?

    The day of the seat change.?

    ?

    After thorough planning and preparation, we were ready for this day.?

    ?

    In the morning, the students are buzzing because of the seat change ……. Most of the classmates don’t seem to be interested in it.?

    ?

    It is only in primary schools, or just barely in middle school, that people get excited about changing seats.?

    ?

    If you’re in high school, you don’t care where your seat is. No, actually, they may care about the opposite sex nearby, but they are not old enough to show it.?

    ?

    So the classroom in the morning is quiet as usual……, but after they came, it became noisy at once.?

    ?

    “Ryoma Onii-chan, today is the day for changing seats. It would be nice if we could sit near each other again!”?

    ?

    “Haha …… I couldn’t sleep last night because I had a stomachache. I wish I could be closer to you, Ryoma-san.”?

    ?

    “…… Ryoma, if I leave you, don’t forget me, okay?”?

    ?

    Ryoma Ryuzaki’s group arrived in the classroom and immediately made a fuss about changing seats.?

    ?

    My stepsister, Azusa, my childhood friend, Yuzuki, and my former best friend, Kirari, look worried. Currently, the three of them have an advantageous position in the Ryuzaki harem. They want to maintain that advantage.?

    ?

    They are in the same class, sit close to each other, and have a close relationship ……, so for now they are one step ahead of the other harem members, but if they lose that advantage even a little and the balance of power is lost, they will quickly fall down the rankings.?

    ?

    If they are not careful, another heroine will take their place. It’s just a matter of changing seats, but that doesn’t mean they’re not worried.?

    ?

    Well, Ryuzaki is so insensitive that he doesn’t notice such things.?

    ?

    “Oh dear, calm down. Don’t make too much noise over a mere seat change.”?

    ?

    As usual, he smiles and says he can’t help it.?

    ?

    He doesn’t care what the girls think. The hero is not concerned about his seat ……, and no matter which seat he takes, the heroine is always nearby. No wonder.?

    ?

    In this year’s second grade class, which I belong to, most of the girls are corrupted by Ryuzaki.?

    ?

    All of the girls have some sort of interest in him, and they’re all looking for opportunities to get to know him.?

    ?

    It’s probably because he doesn’t have a problem with women that he can say such annoying lines as, “Oh dear.” no matter what the harem members say to him.?

    ?

    But …… there is one girl in particular who is special to Ryuzaki.?

    ?

    The girl hadn’t come to school yet. Her seat was right behind Ryuzaki’s, and she was his childhood friend.?

    ?

    Her name is Shiho Shimotsuki.?

    ?

    She is a girl with strikingly transparent silvery-white hair.?

    ?

    “Well, the seats may change, but that doesn’t change the fact that …… I’m with Shiho. I’ve known her since she was a little girl, so we have a connection. As long as I can be there for her and protect her, I don’t care where we sit.”?

    ?

    The protagonist says boldly.?

    ?

    He is so proud of his position as a childhood friend that he has no doubt that he can get the results he wants without any effort.?

    ?

    He doesn’t think about the feelings of the other girls who have heard him say that, he just says things that make him happy.?

    ?

    He’s still the protagonist, as usual.?

    ?

    “””………”””?

    ?

    The three girls have a little bit of a sad expression on their face when they hear those words. It’s not too late for Ryuzaki to be obsessed with Shimotsuki, but I guess he’s damaged.?

    ?

    However, only one …… my stepsister, Azusa, was able to get back on her feet quickly.?

    ?

    “…………Hmm?”?

    ?

    I was looking at them blankly, when suddenly Azusa looked at me and smiled.?

    ?

    A week ago, after encountering Shimotsuki at home, …… Azusa seemed to become a little stronger.?

    ?

    I had the impression that her heroine status had improved.?

    ?

    Even now, she has a sturdy smile on her face.?

    ?

    “Eh~? It’s terrible, Ryuzaki Onii-chan is okay with leaving Azusa? If you say anywhere is fine, it makes me sad …… gusu gusu.”?

    ?

    Crying, Azusa hugged Ryuzaki from behind as he sat in his chair.?

    ?

    “Oh, come on, it’s too much. …… Okay, I’m sorry. I’m sorry I’ve said such horrible things, but I want to be with Azusa and everyone else.”?

    ?

    He even uses this moment to his advantage and indulges himself well.?

    ?

    …… As always, though, it’s a sight that almost breaks my mind.?

    ?

    Well, anyway. I cheered her on in my heart.?

    ?

    That’s good, Azusa. You can take advantage of these opportunities to improve your reputation.?

    ?

    After this, there will be a big opportunity …… for you to never miss it??

    ?

    When Ryuzaki is broken off from his childhood friend by the power of injustice, he is sure to be shocked.?

    ?

    If Azusa can take advantage of his heartbreak, she will be one step ahead of the other heroines.
