NOVEL NEXT Chapter 3.2
Stage 1-3. Reason For Recruitment: “Big Breasts”
However, I won’t tolerate such selfish acts.
Because the girl being bullied in front of me was someone I had on my list of beautiful girls I wanted to get close to.
Mashiro Riche.
The only commoner to enroll in the meritocratic Lishburg Magic Academy.
Hehe, I’m quite lucky too.
If I rescue her with flair here, she will surely develop positive feelings toward me!
“Of course. Let’s go, Alice.”
“Yes!”
With a delighted reply, I start walking.
I can’t miss an opportunity to gain favor so easily.
“Don’t think that a filthy commoner like you is equal to us!”
“I’ll make sure to beat some manners into you, so be grateful!”
“Stop looking at us with those disgusting eyes! Don’t look at us with that gaze!”
“Yikes!?”
One of the three bullies picks up a stone and tries to hit Riche with it.
Of course, I won’t let that happen.
“Hey, hey. What are you doing so early in the school year?”
“Huh? Who are you, and why are you—owowowow!!”
I grab the arm of the male student and twist it up.
A light kick to his legs sends him crashing to the ground.
“Lu, Luark!?”
“You! What are you doing!?”
“That’s my line, actually,” I say,
“Gah! Get off me!”
One of the bullies, enraged after seeing his friend defeated, charges at me, but I deflect him with a sweep of my hand.
He came at me with such force that I countered with a front kick, knocking him into the third bully who was behind him.
I grab Luark, the man mentioned earlier, by the collar and throw him back to his companions, causing them all to scream in unison.
“Y-You! Do you know who I am…!?”
“Well, you seem lively. Still up for it?”
“Y-You’ll remember this!”
A bit of intimidation was enough, and the trio hurriedly fled.
Hmm, quite smooth.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, and evil for evil.
Before a top-notch villain like me, they’re nothing but third-rate with no sense of aesthetics.
“Excellent work, Ouga-sama!”
“Anyone could do that… Now then,”
“…?”
When I turned my gaze, Riche’s shoulders quivered.
And, synchronously—her large chest also shook.
The fruit that had grown lush even from above her uniform.
What can I say, that’s exactly why I decided to befriend her.
Her breasts. They’re so big they can’t be contained by my hands.
“Don’t worry. I won’t let such pointless acts continue.”
“Uh, um… thank you…”
“Don’t mention it. I dislike such behavior.”
Insulting the weak just to affirm oneself.
Hmph, they’re not even fit to be called villains.
“The party will start soon. You should use this.”
I say, handing her a handkerchief I pulled from my pocket.
It had traces of dirt from when she fell.
If she goes to the party like this, she’ll attract unwanted attention.
“I-I really don’t know if this is okay…?”
“Don’t worry. Just throw it away after you’re done.”
“N-No! I’ll wash it properly and return it!”
“…I see. Then don’t be late. I’ll see you at the venue.”
“Y-Yes…!”
Once I confirmed she was smiling, I turned my back and left the scene.
That face… without a doubt.
Her favorability toward me must be skyrocketing!
Everything is going so well…
With this, I should be categorized as a kind person in Riche’s mind.
If that’s the case, it’s in the bag.
Among the scary nobles, she’ll certainly rely on me.
If I meet her expectations, her favorability will increase even more, and the distance between us will naturally close.
I can see it! A future where Riche confesses to me!
“You seem in a good mood, Ouga-sama.”
“Ah, yes. I’m feeling great. I achieved the results I wanted.”
“I am also proud to serve you, Ouga-sama.”
Alice is satisfied with me saving Riche.
Without knowing there’s a hidden meaning behind my actions… It’s truly delightful to earn Alice’s loyalty too.
“Come on, Alice. The path I walk is the path to domination!”
“Yes! I’ll always be by your side!”
I’m looking forward to student life starting tomorrow!
◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇
The next day.
“…Hmm.”
Called out by Riche, I arrived in the backyard in a cheerful mood.
Waiting for me were the grinning boys from yesterday—and for some reason, Riche, with a pale face, was standing next to them.
