Watashi, Dokidoki Renai Kakumei de Onii-chan Yattemasu

The GW and the Part-time Job and the Ojou-sama (1)

"Nice to meet you. I'm Sakurai Makoto. I've been in Takayanagi-senpai's care."

For an instant she looked over at me, but quickly averted her gaze. There was quite a sharp glint in her eye, did I do something that caused her to hate me in such a short time?

Certainly, being held by an unfamiliar guy wouldn't make one feel good, but that was inevitable.

While I was worrying to myself, Madoka stood up from the chair and hugged me.

Even though I was surprised, I couldn't possibly thrust her away so for now I just supported her body and returned the hug.

"I won't hand over Yasuchika......"

"Eh."

"I won't hand over Yasuchika to you. Remember that. No matter how much you like Yasuchika, I know him much better than you do."

I unconsciously stiffened from the words that were whispered into my ear.

I like Takayanagi?

When did I show any signs of that? I don't think I showed such an attitude, not even for an instant, so how on earth did she come to this misunderstanding?

"Madoka, you can't trouble Sakurai-kun."

"I'm terribly sorry, Yasuchika."

Madoka who's holding onto my arm put strength into her grip and above that, dug her nails into my flesh. It was subtly painful.

As I thought, I can't let Mitsuki near Takayanagi!

If such a mean girl is near Mitsuki, I don't know what will be done to her. Just thinking of that made me shudder. It's okay because I'm a guy but I can't let the dainty and lovely angel, Mitsuki, fall victim to Madoka. Onii-chan won't allow that!

"Sakurai-kun, sorry about that. I'll send you to the entranceway."

"Ah, yes. Please do......"

I'd probably lose my way if I return to the entrance by myself. That's why I thought that if he'd show me the way I'd like the way to be shown to me, but as expected, Madoka's glaring at me.

However, it doesn't matter. It's not like we'll meet again. While judging that it's okay even if I'm cursed at, I let myself be spoiled by Takayanagi.

"Well then, Madoka, I'm glad you seem energetic. I'll come visit with Junya next time."

"...... I understand. Take care when returning, Yasuchika. Please give my regards to Junya."

"I'll let him know. Madoka, don't be too willful and trouble everyone."

She's one to be feared, Yukinoshita Madoka. She's really a mean ojou-sama.

Come to think of it, Subaru did say that some of the capturable characters are accompanied by rival characters. But I expected them to be more friendly. Isn't this more like a clash? It's completely a clash!

It's the pattern where she'll seriously torment you if you really throw down a challenge wanting to capture him.

But Mitsuki said she wanted to join the Swimming Club, huh. What in the world can I do to salvage this?

Entering the Swimming Club and becoming intimate with Takayanagi, that's too dangerous. One can only steel themselves and take the risk.

"I'm sorry about that. Madoka said something to you, didn't she?"

The moment we got on the elevator, Takayanagi finally opened his mouth.

"Eh? A-ah. She said not to approach senpai too much."

"As I thought, huh. Madoka's too attached to me. She thinks of me as something that belongs to her."

The elevator reached level 1.

"What kind of relationship does senpai, Junya-senpai and Madoka-san has?"

In response to my question, Takayanagi let out a small smile.

"'Childhood friends', I wonder if we can be called that? Madoka and I, in particular, were together ever since we were born. Likely, they had the intention for Madoka and I to marry since we were born."

"Is Madoka-san senpai's fiancee?"

Although I don't really understand the world of the rich, are there still things like betrothals or fiancees in this modern era?

Perhaps it's a setting Subaru added to make the story more interesting. But it's a pitiful thing if the person in question doesn't wish to be married.

"We aren't engaged officially, but both our parents will probably agree to it if we do. I'm going to be of marriageable age soon. It's not surprising if we get engaged any time."

"Does senpai like Madoka-san?"

"Like...... even if I don't, even if I don't like her in that way, this is a situation where I don't have a choice but to marry her."

Having that said to me, I couldn't say a thing back. I didn't have the right to say a thing.

Even though it's supposed to be completely unrelated to me, Takayanagi sure has it hard.

Even though it's supposed to be completely unrelated to me!
