It Turns Out That I Have a Fiancee, but She Is the Famous “Villainess” of the School. What Should I

“Hey Hiro, are you alright? You look terrible.”

As usual, I’m sitting at the back by the window which was one of the best seats in the classroom.

When I turned my head in the voice’s direction, I saw Tomomi’s face having a worried expression.

“I’m worn out. Seriously.”

“My condolences.”

“Ahhh.”

“I don’t mean to pry, but who’s Hiro’s fiancee?”

“You probably already guessed it.”

” ‘The Villainous Daughter’… Hey, Hiro… I think your dad deserves to get punched after all…”

“I’ll pass on that”

I don’t want to make my childhood friend become a criminal. However, I’d also rather not be accused of beating up my dad.

“You look really tired…”

“Well, I expected it to a certain extent.”

When you get a bunch of malice hurled at you like that, It’s hard not to feel terrible.

“You did well hanging in there. Really”

“Yeahh, I know I did”

I feel bad about this, but I’m going to have to take a voluntary recess for the first period. I should try to regain my strength after that, right?

“Uhh,. Hiro? I have good news and bad news.”

“Honestly I don’t want to listen to either of them, but let’s hear the bad news first.”

“First period is, PE. We’ll be with Class 4.”

“Really?”

“Really.”

“And the good news?”

“The sport is basketball”

“Not much of a good news there either.”

It’s not that I hate basketball. I actually like it, you know? But to be honest, it’s hard for me to actually play in this condition. 

Tomomi, perhaps not liking my thoughts on this, makes a sullen face.

“What.. Hiro you idiot.  Basketball is your specialty, right? You should at least try it as best as you can.”

“Alright, alright.”

“And Hiro, shouldn’t you get out of class quickly ?”

“Why?”

“If Hiro wants to stay, that’s fine, the girls are gonna change in here. I personally don’t mind but isn’t it bad for the other girls?” (T/N:: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) )

Tomomi’s smile made me look around in a hurry. I don’t even remember talking to her for that long, I notice that all the girls are actually already in the class. 

“You don’t want to?”

“Right… Basketball is in the gym”

Hearing Tomomi’s words behind my back, I rushed out of the classroom. 

There was laughter in the classroom. The loudest voice was Tomomi’s… they are probably having a good time laughing at me. I can’t help but feel that this was a setup.

“Well, it’s Tomomi.”

It can’t be helped if Tomomi is involved.

◇◆◇

“Oh, Hiroyuki. You’re late”

As I arrive at the gymnasium, Tanaka, a classmate from Class 3, calls out to me.

Tanaka has a friendly smile on his face, but mine gives him a stern look.

“If you were going, you should’ve called me…”

“You and Suzuki were having an enjoyable conversation and I didn’t want to interrupt.”

“Really? Interrupt what?”

“Besides, Hiroyuki. I’m in the middle of watching something pretty interesting.”

“Interesting?”

“You know Sajima from class four, right?”

“Sajima? From the basketball team?”

“Yep. Both Sajima and Fujita actually like the same freshman. It looks like they are in a dispute over her.”

“So?”

“So they decided to confess to the girl, but there was a dispute over who was going to do it first. And they decided to settle it over a game of basketball.”

“That’s not good for Fujita, is it? Sajima is a candidate to be the next captain of the basketball team, right? There’s no way he can win.”

“Yeah. And now, Fujita is gathering volunteers, and the MVP will get a prize.”

“A prize?”

“Free movie tickets. You know, for the one that just came out.”

“Oh, that Hollywood blockbuster.”

“That’s it! What do you think? You want to take a shot, Hiroyuki? Aren’t you good at basketball?”

I mean I understand how Fujita feels. I understand, but you know what?　Why do I have to worry about someone’s love life when I have a sub-standard “bride-to-be” in my life?　And free movie tickets? Eh…

“Movies. Well, they don’t really interest me “

“I’m in!”

At that moment, a familiar voice suddenly echoes from behind me. I don’t care what you want, so don’t shout so loud near me. It hurts my ears!

“Tomomi…”

“What? Hey, Hiro’s coming too! Fujita~! We’re coming too!”

Saying that, Tomomi slyly pulls me along without waiting to hear my reply.

“Hiroyuki, you’re coming too! And even Suzuki! Okay, now it looks like we’ve already won!”

Fujita’s face suddenly became energized, even though he was looking very desperate a minute ago…

How interesting…

“Hey, Fujita! That’s not fair for having Suzuki! She’s a woman!”

“What is it, Sajima? Do you have a problem with me? Or is it just an excuse for losing? Can’t take a woman seriously, can you?”

Sajima-kun protests hard. Even though we’ve already met before, we aren’t exactly friends, so I’ll add a “kun” to his name. 

Well, I understand what you’re saying, Sajima-kun. It wouldn’t look good to lose to Tomomi. Tomomi is an excellent athlete, and naturally, being the ace of the basketball team, she is a very good basketball player, though I haven’t seen Tomomi playing recently.

So even if Sajima-kun is a candidate for the captain, he would be no match to her since the men’s basketball team lost in the first round of the district tournament back then.

“A-a-alright. Don’t get all worked up just because you’re a little good at basketball!”

“Fu~fu~ Say that after you win!”

Tomomi was also stirring things up, even though she should have stopped. I could see the color of Sajima-kun’s face change.

“Ah Tomomi, stop already. Fujita, Sajima-kun. Let’s get started.”

Since it looks like no one is in charge, I had no choice but to take care of the situation. Though to be honest, I don’t want to do anything too conspicuous, but I must get the troublesome things done quickly.

“Hmph! Sajima? Let’s raise the bet a little more, shall we?”

“Raise the bet?”

“Yes. You see we, the girls’ basketball team, want more use of the gym.”

“That goes for us too.”

“Right! So whoever wins will have the entire gym for a week!”

“What?!  You can’t make that kind of decision on your own!”

“What are you talking about, future captain?”

“It’s the same whether I’m the next captain or the current captain! It’s impossible!”

With that, Sajima-kun turns his back on her and proceeds to his own court. Tomomi turns away from Sajima-kun and proceeds to her own court.

“Awww, you scared?”

Don’t agitate them..

“What?”

“Scared of losing to a team that has a girl? Fu~fu. If Sajima-kun doesn’t want to, then it’s okay.”

Come on, Tomomi-san?　Will you stop agitating them?　If you say that–

“All right! Let’s play, Suzuki!”

This is what happens….
