I Want to Fall in Love After Getting Reincarnated as the Heroine on the Verge of a Bad Ending, but My OP Older Brother Won’t Leave Me Alone!? - Chapter 87
Translated by: ShinigamiTori
Chapter 87 ? To Perfect Academy 2
Nonchalantly saying something like “a girl with your appearance,” he’s probably the playboy-type capture target.
The kind of scene where this type of person becomes serious for the heroine for the first time is a very satisfying scenario.
From his confident attitude, I realized that it would be more dangerous to deceive him, so I decided to answer him truthfully.
“I would appreciate it if you could keep this matter confidential…”
“Is that guy your boyfriend?”
“No, he’s more like a friend or a best friend, my platonic soulmate.”
“Wow, that’s pretty nice.”
From behind my back, I could hear Yoshida sighing, apparently listening to our conversation.
I’m sure deep down he thinks that I’m a total idiot. And, to be honest, he’s right.
“So, why are you here?”
“I’m looking for someone.”
“Who?”
“Well, that’s a bit…”
“Hey, we’ve got an intruder here?”
“It’s Anna-san! Anna Tippett-san!”
In a hurry, I blurted that out, and the handsome guy wore a satisfied smile. It seems he even possesses the troublesome “S” attribute.[1]
“Hmm, you want to meet Anna, huh? I’m pretty close with her, so I can introduce you, but…”
“R-Really!?”
“But only if you go on a date with me.”
“…”
Why was the handsome guy paying attention to me? Could it be that he thinks I’m an interesting girl for infiltrating another school?
And asking for a date in exchange for helping me, it was a plot I’d seen a billion times. However, in such cases, they usually follow through with the request.
I don’t know what he was thinking, but if I could definitely meet Anna just by going out together with him, it might be a small price to pay.
Besides, since it’s already been exposed that I’m infiltrating under a false identity, it’s probably better to have him on my side.
I nodded my head in agreement. From behind my back, I hear Yoshida sigh even louder than before.
“Okay, it’s settled. We’ll go see Anna together during lunch break. I’m Dylan, by the way. What’s your name?”
“Uhm, I’m Rena.”
“Okay, just call me Dylan.”
Just in case of potential betrayal, I decided to go with a fake name similar to my real one.
“What about you?”
“T-This is…. Yo?I, Ishida…”
“Ishida, huh? That’s an unusual name. Nice to meet you.”
“… Yes.”
I can feel Ishida glowering at my back, as if asking me inwardly, “What nonsense are you sprouting?”
In my haste to come up with a fake name for him, I realized that Yoshida wasn’t even his real name in the first place, so there was no need to change it. Well, better safe than sorry. There’s no harm in being too cautious.
“Well then, let’s get along for today.”
“Likewise.”
Although it was doubtful whether he was a trustworthy person, I felt that by gaining an ally, I had taken a step closer to meeting Anna-san.
???
Since Dylan and I had separate classes after the second period, we decided to meet up in the cafeteria during lunch break. After that, we’ll go meet Anna-san together.
I let out a sigh as I moved to the next classroom with Yoshida.
“What do you think of Dylan, Ishida?”
“… He didn’t give me any strange vibes, at least for now.”
“Is that all? Anything else?”
“He has weird tastes in women.”
“Hey.”
Indeed, as Yoshida said, I don’t sense any malice from Dylan, I just get the feeling that he’s amused by us. He probably considered me as a way to kill time.
“Just don’t let your guard down. Your lack of vigilance is on par with a baby’s.”
“Yes, I’ll be careful!”
After that, I continued attending classes amiably with Yoshida. Unfortunately, the teacher couldn’t come for the third period of the eagerly awaited Mamithonian language class.
The students scheduled for this class ended up with the worst outcome: being redirected to a physical education makeup class.
With no other option, I used the key I borrowed from Melanie-chan to open the locker and changed into the gym clothes. After parting ways with Yoshida, I headed towards the group of female students.
It seems today we’re going to play a ball game similar to volleyball. Despite the abrupt match format, I feel a little relieved since I was pretty good at it in my previous life.
“I think I’ll rest for the next match.”
Naturally, as a loner, I sit alone in the corner of the gymnasium and wait for my turn.
Leaning against the wall, I began to feel drowsy, probably due to staying up late playing games last night.
“Kyaa! Watch out!”
“?Huh?”
Suddenly, a high-speed ball came flying straight towards my face.
Given my status as an average magician, there’s no way I could use advanced techniques to avoid or stop it with magic.
By the time I wished someone around would stop it, the ball had already hit my face.
“O-Ow, that hurt… Ugh.”
Holding my throbbing nose, I noticed my palm had turned a deep red. Screams erupted from the female students around me.
With my current bloodied nose, I must have a face far too disqualified for a heroine. Please cut this scene.
Regardless, I considered heading to the infirmary, but my head was pounding, and I couldn’t even stand up. My vision gradually becomes blurred. This was getting quite serious.
In the midst of it, I sensed someone rushing towards me.
“Hey, are you okay!?”
“…”
“Hey, hey?! …. Rene?”
And with that voice as the last thing I heard, I lost consciousness.

1. “S” here, I think, means sadism. ?
