Reincarnated into a Villainess in a TS Universe, but I'm the Only One Playing a Yuri Game Author: Taira Asomi Previous Table of Contents Next 600/1418 Episode 598: "Secret Talks with Sakura" As the main athletic festival approaches, the mystery remains unsolved. I have been gathering new information and verifying existing details, but some parts remain unclear. Acting impulsively without fully understanding could backfire. If it were only about me, a few mistakes wouldn't matter much. However, this situation affects more than just me. Therefore, I must proceed with caution, ensuring our preparations remain undiscovered until the decisive moment when we can put an end to this in one swift move. "Sakura, may I have a word?" I needed to speak with Sakura, so I headed to the first-year, class three classroom. I felt the cold stares of the other first-year students. It seemed they were thinking things like, "He's in the first-year classroom again," or "He doesn't have friends his own age, so he's hanging out with the underclassmen." That's not true! I have plenty of friends my age, like Aze, and Satsuki. Outside of my group? Don't ask... "Sak-u-ya! Big sisterrr!" As soon as I entered the classroom and called out to Sakura, she leapt at me from her seated position with incredible momentum. "What!? Jumping like that while still seated, using only her thighs? Who is she!? Or... what!?" "Owwwww! It hurts, it hurts! Sakuya, big sister! Sakura's face is going to come off!" I grabbed Sakura's face to stop her mid-leap. The impact was substantial but not unbearable. If she were a frail girl, we might have both fallen and seriously injured ourselves. Luckily, I could endure it because I'm a sturdy 'man'! "Even if we're relatives, it's unacceptable for a man to pounce on a woman in a place like this!" "I understand! I understand, so please! Sakuya, big sister! Is it really okay for a woman to apply a brain claw to a man in public?" At those words, I glanced around. "........." "........." When I looked, the first-year students nearby quickly averted their gazes. But it's undeniable; in public, no less, Sakuya is subjecting me to a brain claw. Reputation-wise, this might not be good. "Oh? Ohoho! What am I doing…? Everyone, this was a mere accident that occurred when we met. Ohoho!" "!!!" I try to play it off with words. The first-year students look strained, but I press on. It's just that Sakura leapt at me, and I reflexively reached out, grabbing Sakura's face by accident. That's the story. "Isn't that right, everyone?" "!!!" With a firm nod, the students seemed to agree. They understood I'm the victim here, surprised by Sakura's sudden leap and accidentally ended up grabbing her face. Right? "Sakuya, big sister... my head... it's being crushed..." "Ah..." In trying to convince everyone, I might have applied too much pressure. Sakura, whose head I've been holding, has now gone limp, her body dangling with occasional twitching. This is bad... "Well then, everyone, goodbye! Ohoho!" "........." Sensing that staying here longer would not bode well, I hastily exited the first-year classroom with Sakura in tow. ~~~ I carried Sakura to the Gokuhokai Salon. Since it's currently class time, nobody is likely to come by. Even if someone did, it would only be someone from Gokuhokai—either someone coming to deliver something or members skipping class. The odds of someone else coming are slim. "Sakura, how long do you plan to pretend to be asleep?" "Hehe, guess I got caught, huh?" Even though I carried her here, Sakura had opened her eyes partway through. The difference in tension between a conscious and unconscious body is palpable. An unconscious person is limp, while a conscious one, no matter how relaxed they try to be, is tensed somewhere. Therefore, it's easy to tell whether someone is awake or asleep when carrying them. "If you're awake, you can walk on your own." "I'm sorry. Sakuya, big sister, you're so soft and smell so nice..." "Eek!" How creepy! Sakura's words sent chills down my spine. Goosebumps erupted all over me. Even though he's a relative and a boy, I thought carrying him was no big deal. But after hearing that, I wanted to toss him aside immediately. "Walk on your own from here!" "Ouch!" I let go of Sakura, and he plopped onto his backside, skirts flaring, revealing glimpses of thighs. What's more infuriating is that my eyes can't help but wander to those thighs. He's a boy. I know that, yet there's a girl's appearance in a skirt with a glimpse beneath it... It's impossible not to stare. Is this just a man's nature? Damn it! Damn it! "Anyway, let's go into the salon." "Okaaay..." Sakura followed, rubbing his bottom, and my eyes unconsciously followed the movement. It's frustrating, despite living surrounded by adorable real girls, yet still being drawn to this scene. Sakura, I swear! Shall I deal with your 'elephant'? "So, Sakuya, big sister, what did you want to discuss?" Once seated in the salon and sipping tea, Sakura broached the topic. It seems she wanted to wrap up the conversation quickly and return to class. Dragged away during break time, he might have wanted to chat with classmates too. Though it feels bad, this matter is important. "How much does the Nijou family know about the Inada family, who serve as their samurai?" "Oh, that? I figured you'd ask about that." Likely, Sakura had a sense of what I wanted to discuss, so he began speaking without any particular surprise. "I believe Sakuya already knows, but the Inada family has experienced financial trouble because of the wife’s extravagant spending. The company almost went under, but they managed to recover with support from the Nijou faction..." "So, that's how it is..." This information isn't new to me. In the Doujou family, most households run their own businesses. Rarely do they work under someone else's employment. In contrast, it's fairly common for the underground houses to be employed by others. Even when they own businesses, these are often small to medium-sized, occasionally even smaller. Many choose to work in the company of the house they serve, often rising to a respectable position. However, not all of the underground houses operate this way. Like the Koutokuji house, the Inada family also operates a small business. While it may seem that running a company involves just handling jobs from the houses they serve, as long as the upper structure remains stable, the company won't falter. But there are always exceptions. Faction and line-family businesses provide work, preventing collapse unless mismanaged. They help maintain stability but limit company growth and new opportunities. There are typically two scenarios where such companies fail. The first is when they aim for excessive growth, taking on projects unsuitable for their size, or making unwise investments, leading to financial decline. The second case involves sheer mismanagement. Even with stable work from the group, if the managing family wastes company resources recklessly, the company can’t survive. One might think that even for ownership families, the company’s funds should not be freely accessed. Yet, tales abound of families buying houses under the company’s name for the clan to live in, or cars for personal use—common in small or very small enterprises. Spending company expenses at will isn't unheard of. The Inada family, managing a small firm, once faced bankruptcy because of the wife's spending habits. Aided by the Nijou family and their faction, they recovered, but financial help was not out of pure kindness. The financial support required collateral, with the possibility of losing the company’s management rights if repeated. Since then, the Inada family supposedly ran their business earnestly... or so it was believed. Despite the Nijou faction’s financial aid, the wife’s spending habits did not change. Personalities and bad habits are not easily altered. Having been discovered once, the wife became more cunning, continuing to waste company money but with more skill. It’s likely that audits from the lenders continued for some time, but eventually vigilance waned. Their initial good behavior led others to lower their guard. Perhaps, the lenders noticed and chose to overlook it. Even knowing of the wife’s habits, letting them be was a strategic choice. The business's assets and control were already secured. Should the wife bring the business to the brink again, it would provide a clear chance for a takeover and asset recovery. Initially aided due to the Nijou family’s influence, it was a matter of whether the Inada family would straighten up and repay. Failure to do so allowed for asset and management takeovers. For the financiers, it's a win either way, explaining their willingness to loan. The Nijou family did help once, yet should this pattern repeat they won’t simply forgive the Inada family again. Another business collapse would tarnish the Nijou family’s reputation, signaling it's no longer enough to shield affiliated families unconditionally. While immediate dismissal without aid may raise eyebrows, repeated betrayal seals one’s fate in noble society. "The company is already in its second crisis… and yet, recently, the wife’s lavishness has increased… is that correct?" "Yes." Sakura nodded, seemingly indifferent. To her, whether the Inada family collapses or resorts to suicide likely matters little. Even as a member of the Kujo faction, I’m not familiar with every underground house. Hearing of a Kujo house's downfall might not evoke any emotion from me. The Nijou family is aware yet hasn’t acted against the Inada family. This means they’re preparing to seize assets and management if the habitual mistakes reoccur. However, the situation is taking an unexpected turn. The business, expected to perish soon, is recovering, while the wife’s spending grows bolder. This surely indicates an influx of funds from somewhere into the Inada family or their company. "What does the Nijou family intend to do with the Inada family?" "Nothing. We will continue as we have." Sakura, usually flashing a charming smile akin to a young girl’s, wore a mature expression, one fitting a ruthless aristocrat. It’s evident that if the Inada family’s betrayal comes to light, the Nijou family will not hesitate to dismantle them. Such is the way of nobility, where unconditional aid to anyone is unsustainable. Still... for me... I’d rather not see Utsugi Kaede suffer due to Mrs. Inada. It’s not right for me to involve myself in Nijou family and faction matters. But considering I’m already entangled in this, I must act before the Nijou family makes their move.
