Chapter 16 P1 – Tuesday Suspense Theater and Invitation
Right after school, I go to the dormitory manager’s room.
“Well, well, well, how dare you show your face here in such a carefree manner…”
As soon as I opened the door and entered the room, the small dormitory manager stood up from the sofa vigorously and approached me while waving her cane threateningly.
“What’s up, dormitory manager?”
“Do not ‘what’s up’ me! Do you even realize what you have doneeeeeeeeee?”
Mulle then grabs my shoulders as I bend my body down and shake my body. However, at the same time, Lily-san entered the room and hurriedly pulled the raging dormitory manager away from me.
“What are you doing, Mulle?”
“Let me gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! I can’t let this guy liveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!”
“GUHEHEHE (Villain’s laughter).”
As Lily-san stopped Mulle, Tsukiori, who was sleeping on the sofa with a magazine covering her face, slowly sat up.
“Ah, so you have come back… Welcome back, Hiiro-kun.”
"
"
“Ou, I am back.”
“And,”
Seeing the enraged Mulle, Tsukiori smiled.
“Looks like you are in the middle of telling her some funny story from your vacation.”
“The only one who is excited is the dormitory manager, and she is excited for a different reason, which is giving me a parting gift (after killing me).”
After yawning, the main character-sama stretches her body.
“So, what should we do? She found out right before the new students’ welcome party started.”
“Well, to be honest, it is natural for her to find out about it. On the contrary, the time was just right. In other words, it was the so-called good timing.”
After a while, the dormitory manager calmed down and pointed her fingertips at me while breathing heavily.
“You are… You are the culprit!”
“Hiks…. hiks… There is nothing I could do about that…”
I covered my face with both hands and kneeled.
“There is nothing you could do about that, you say…?!”
“It is like the thing you saw on Tuesday Suspense Theater1.”
“Y-you… H-how dares you to say such nonsense…!”
Mulle thrusts the dormitory newspaper at me.
In the newspaper, there was an apology written by the dormitory manager to the dormitory member (the senpai) who had been kicked out of the dormitory… There is also a photo of the teary-eyed Mulle and the dismissed senpai, making it look as if Mulle had apologized and reconciled with the senpai.
“Y-you are planning to do this from the beginning, right…? W-when did you even take this photo…? W-what kind of authority do you have to even dare to pretend to be me and publish something like that in the dormitory newspaper…!”
“Please do not say it like that, dormitory manager.”
I looked at her and smiled.
“No one actually said that the dormitory manager is the one who wrote that column. I simply asked the newspaper staff to post an apology that I wrote, with the subject being “I”. But, that can be done because it is a well-known fact in the Flavum dormitory that the dormitory manager puts a lot of effort into the dormitory newspaper… So, perhaps the people in the dormitory might misunderstand that the article was written by the dormitory manager herself…”
After saying that, I grinned.
“Which means, there is nothing I can do about that, isn’t that right?”
“I-I am going to kill you! You bastard!”
As Mulle tried to attack me, Lily-san immediately came in between and stop her again.
“And I accepted Hiiro-kun’s request and obtained the right to publish that article.”
Tsukiori, who is lying relaxed on the ground, shows the application form for the new students’ welcome party.
“Thanks to you, the effect of this magic is outstanding. Look, more and more applications are being submitted with the same speed as before the notoriety of Mulle spread.”
In fact, the girls are peeping inside through the gap in the door of the dormitory manager’s room even now. And when their eyes meet Tsukiori, who is still lying down relaxedly with her legs crossed, they screamed “Kyaa!” and ran away.
“About the magician who cast this magic… The one who made the dormitory manager reflect on herself and reconcile with the senpai became Tsukiori Sakura. What does that mean?”
“Well, it was just something that happened inside a small dormitory room, after all. Thanks to that, rumors that you desperately acquired the right to publish in the dormitory newspaper would spread quickly, no matter who spread it. In addition, if it were the ghost that has been making noise in the dormitory last night that spread the rumor… it would surely create a big sensation.”
I, who used Distortion Field to hide my body and spread the rumor in the hallway last night, smiled.
“Really, what a good brain.”
Tsukiori looked at me happily.
“It makes me want you more and more…”
“Take it back! Take that dormitory newspaper back! To think you even cleverly alter the publication date of the dormitory newspaper to deceive my eyes, what a wicked plan! You villain! I hate you!”
Oh, dormitory manager, that would be the best.
I spread my hand and closed my eyes in front of the perfect world I wanted. This is precisely the ideal Yuri world that I have been aiming for. The main character, Tsukiori Sakura, is liked by many girls, and Mulle, one of the heroines, hates me.
In addition, if Chris were to guard the new students’ welcome party, Mulle, who wondered, would probably start investigating the reason. And, as long as I manipulated the information and make her think that it was done by Tsukiori Sakura, all the achievements will be hers.
After that, Chris, who hates me to the core, will surely speak ill of me to her sister and accelerate the decline in her favorability toward me.
As I thought about something like that, from the gap of the curtain, the wind blows through the open window and swayed the curtains, letting the sunlight illuminate me. Feeling that warmth, I softly murmur in my heart.
