Reincarnated as a Villainess in a Yuri Game but Only I am Playing It Author: Taira Asomi Previous Table of Contents Next 601/1418 Chapter 599: "The Start of the Second Year Sports Festival" Before I knew it, October had arrived in the blink of an eye while I was busy with this and that. Today is the day of the sports festival, yet nothing is settled. Or rather, perhaps I should say that even if I wanted to, I couldn't settle it. If things continue this way, Kaito Hana might end up unhappy. Knowing that, I can't quite muster the spirit to give it my all or to enjoy the sports festival... "Sakuya-sama! I understand you have a lot on your mind! But let's enjoy the now! It's the sports festival! Come on!" "Azami..." I've been busy running around and preparing various things lately. There are still lots of worries on my mind. Maybe sensing my internal turmoil, Azami said that to me with a bright smile. This girl... this child understands so much about me! Oh! I adore her! I adore her so much! She understands me entirely, yet instead of telling me to stop or not overdo it, she encourages me to enjoy the sports festival now! What an amazing child she is! Even though I was already an adult in my previous life, I am now being uplifted by a girl in her second year of middle school, and it's humbling. But how could I not fall for someone as understanding as Azami? "Azami! I adore you! So much! You're such a good child!" "Aaaaah! S-Sakuya-sama! Hugging me so suddenly and, saying 'I adore you'! 'I adore you'!" In a rush of emotion, I hugged Azami and ruffled her hair, leaving her frozen in place. A young lady of nobility shouldn't do something like this in public, but caught up in my emotions, I couldn't stop myself. I just want to pet and pamper her! "Hey!? Sakuya-chan, it's unfair that only Azami gets the attention! We feel the same way too!" Satsuki remarked as she clung to my back. Yes, I get it. Everyone here is such a good child. They cheer me up, support me, and they're all wonderful. Why are these wonderful girls cast as villains in the game "Flowers Blooming in Love"? They care about their friends, they consider each other's feelings, and they don't push boundaries or do things the other dislikes. On the contrary, they provide silent support. "Seriously! I adore all of you! I really do! I don't even know what to do with these feelings!" "Sakuya-chan!" "Sakuya-chaaaan!" In the end, like always, we all ended up in a group hug. Other classmates were watching, but at that moment, I couldn't care less about such things. ~~~ Thanks to Azami and the others, my soul felt a bit lighter. I am indeed concerned about the Inada family and Kaito Hana. However, this is not something that can be resolved merely by worrying about it now. Preparing and gathering background information about the issues concerning the Inada family and Kaito Hana is important, but solely focusing on it is not right. As everyone said, I should fully enjoy what I can do now. "Well then, shall we head to the grounds?" "Yes!" With our preparations complete, we proceeded to the grounds. Just like always, the opening ceremony and declarations were made before returning to each class's seating area. Since the short-distance race happens early, if I were entered, I would have had to head to the lineup already. However, this year, I've managed to escape the short-distance race entry. I can relax and spectate without having to run from the morning. Well... though I've already done plenty of exercise this morning with the Momochi style training... "Sakuya-sama, you mustn't do as you usually do during the main event. There will be eyes on you from parents and guardians." "…What?" As I sat and watched the morning's first event, Azami, who was seated next to me, whispered that. I didn't understand what she meant. What does she mean by 'as you usually do'? What does 'because there will be the eyes of the parents' mean? "Sakuya-chan... you do get quite intense usually…" "It’s quite embarrassing to see such behavior in front of this many people…" "Huh...? What...?" Wait a moment? What is everyone talking about? Am I doing something usually? Huh? "Sakuya-chan probably doesn’t do it intentionally." "Seri-chan..." It felt like a strange atmosphere was forming, but Seri seemed to be covering for me. Though I didn't fully grasp what she meant... "Reeeally? Despite not meaning to, does it always happen so regularly?" "Intentional or not, I do think it's fine. However... it’s embarrassing in front of this many people... but if it's what Sakuya-chan wishes…" Tsubaki? Why is your face flushed? What are you all discussing? Could you explain it in a way that I can understand? I feel like there's something unflattering becoming canon behind my back. "Well, the pairs for the main event have already been decided, haven't they?" "Akane?" Akane seemed a bit sulky, her cheeks puffed out in annoyance. It's true we swapped partners during practice, trying out pairs with everyone, but for the main event, you can only partner with one person per competition. In the end, we agreed that Satsuki would be my partner for the Borrowed Item Race, while Azami would partner with me for the Obstacle Course. Everyone agreed on that... "That’s because YOU lost the rock-paper-scissors. Everyone agreed, so there’s no point sulking over it now." "That may be true, but..." Wait! A shocking truth has just come to light! The pairs weren’t carefully selected combinations! I had no idea they were deciding them with rock-paper-scissors. I thought we were picking the best combinations for winning... "Would the competitors for the two-person Obstacle Race please gather at the entry gate." Oh? It’s time already. For the two-person obstacle race, we dictated the contents, and we've practiced endlessly. We won’t lose easily, nor do I intend to lose. "Alright then, shall we?" "Yes!" With Azami, Renka, and Seri accompanying me, we headed towards the entry gate. I pair with Azami, while Renka pairs with Seri. We've practiced so much that we'll handle anyone when it comes to pairing! ...Hopefully. "Ladies and gentlemen, here they come! The awaited sports festival at Toika Academy's junior high division! And right from the start, a star player makes their appearance!" "Eh... whose voice is that...?" "That's An." Indeed... Just from hearing her voice, it's clear that this high-energy mic performance could only be Anzu. There was someone doing a mic performance at this year's elementary Tanabata Festival who reminded us of Anzu, but the real Anzu can't be beaten. She's truly in a league of her own. But seriously, why is Anzu, who should be in high school, wielding a mic at the junior high sports festival? There’s an official broadcasting club, so she shouldn’t be involved at all. Just a moment ago, it seemed like a regular member of the junior high broadcasting club was in charge, but as soon as this event began, Anzu took over. "From the moment she entered, her presence was unmatched! Her dazzling existence cannot be concealed~~~! Sakuyaa Kujou-sama~~~!" "...I always think this, but..." "Yes?" As I entered through the gate after the previous event concluded, Anzu’s mic performance reached its peak. To be honest, it's incredibly embarrassing. Isn't this a form of bullying, pretending to praise while actually putting me down? "Does Anzu-san dislike me?" "Hahaha! Why would you think that after hearing her? Anzu is so fond of Sakuya-sama that she's gone a little crazy!" "Ha…?" Azami chuckled heartily as she said that. However, I struggle to understand it. To be frank, I think Anzu's antics are teasing me too much, a mockery disguised as praise. But apparently, Azami doesn’t see it that way. Is it me who’s odd, or is Azami just oblivious? Regardless, I'd really prefer if it stopped... We moved to the starting position and waited, lined up with the other competitors. At Fujika Academy, the relay format often spans all grades. However, due to safety concerns with many competitors moving at once in this two-person obstacle course, we’ve decided to conduct it one pair at a time thanks to my suggestion. "The final first-year contestant has just crossed the finish line! And now, the moment everyone has been waiting for, here comes Sakuya Kujou-sama!" Anzu had been quiet while the first-years raced, but she began her over-the-top performance again as it became my turn. I doubt anyone was actually waiting for my appearance… I’ve given up and am half-tuning it out. "Let's do this, Azami." "Yes, Sakuya-sama!" With our legs tied together, we waited for the signal. "On your marks... get set..." Bang! The starter pistol rang out. Whether or not we succeed with the starting dash doesn't really decide victory in this less competitive event. Carefully, we started to run, avoiding any hurry that might cause a fall. “One-two, one-two…” Together we moved our feet in sync with our chant. So far, so good. Azami and I were completely synchronized. "Sakuya Kujou-sama has arrived at the first obstacle! The first obstacle is~~~~ hopscotch! Yes, the nostalgic hopscotch many played in childhood!" Huh? Most of the parents in our middle school are nobility, and even in older generations, did they play hopscotch as kids? Whatever, first, we need to clear this. "Let’s go, Sakuya-sama!" "Indeed, let’s!" Together, we placed our feet inside the designated rings. Though called hopscotch, there was hardly any jumping involved; the rule was simply not to place our feet outside the rings. "Fast! Too fast! While other pairs are struggling, Sakuya Kujou-sama and Azami Tokudaiji-sama breezed through the first obstacle! What awaits next is a net crawl! Getting tangled in this net means you’ll never escape~~~!" I mean, what is Anzu saying? The nets can simply be lifted up to pass through. Isn’t she spouting nonsense just for effect? "Watch your hair, Sakuya-sama!" "Thank you, Azami." During practice, I got my hair caught in the net. But I learned and now have my hair tied up in a bun. Plus, with Azami’s help, we pass through smoothly... "Oh no! Sakuya-sama! I've gotten myself caught…" "Azami…" "Oh dear! Sakuya-sama’s pair has hit a snag! Meanwhile, others are catching up! Sakuya-sama is in a pinch!" As I helped Azami untangle, other pairs closed the gap. But they too struggled with the nets. By the time they got caught, we managed to squeeze through and push ahead again. Continuing, we crawled under ladders, ate bread, and overcame various obstacles together with Azami. The sense of unity was immense, and I could understand how men and women might be drawn to each other after shared adventures. Even now, simply overcoming these obstacles with Azami fills me with a sense of unity and excitement. I’m starting to feel an affection I can’t deny! "Just a bit more, Azami!" "Yes, Sakuya-sama!" “One-two! One-two!” "And now! Sakuya Kujou-sama and Azami Tokudaiji-sama cross... the finish line! First place goes to Sakuya Kujou-sama and Azami Tokudaiji-sama!" We managed to maintain first place all the way to the end. Events like this that involve teamwork are great. There’s a sense of achievement and unity you don’t get from solitary events like short-distance running. Not to belittle individual events, but I enjoy competitions that involve fun and camaraderie with everyone. "We did it, Sakuya-chan!" "We’ll give it our all next time!" "Yeah! Do your best, Renka and Seri!" "I won’t allow losing!" When we returned to the finish line, Renka and Seri cheered us on. Though we don’t return to the same spot since we’re now in the line for the finished participants, we exchanged words with them before sitting down to watch the remaining races. Though Renka and Seri’s pair finished in second place, they returned with great smiles. Even though Azami had said, "I won’t allow losing," she offered her congratulations to them. No one was actually blamed for losing. After the other pairs and grades finished their races, our first event, the two-person obstacle course, safely concluded.
