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

school for some reason, right?　It’s a waste of that time, and the train fare.”

“That’s a really unladylike line.”

“It’s better to be a cheapskate, don’t you think? A house where the wife has a firm grip on the purse is a prosperous place, right?”

“Is that how it is?”

 

Well, it seems like I’m going to have to take care of everything, not just the wallet, if I marry Kiryu.

“Is there any way we can–“

After speaking up to that point, Kiryu stops walking and raises her right hand in a gesture of realization.
What’s wrong?

“Oh…”

“Yes, Kiryu-san?”

“Uhh.
Higashi kujo-kun.
I have a small favor to ask of you.”

“A favor?”

 

“You don’t read that many books, do you, Higashi Kujo-kun?”

“That’s right.”

“Then… Can you make a library card..
And..”(E/N: Took her a  long time to realize that loophole, anybody here figured it out before she said it?)

It hit me.

“Oh, you want me to lend you that? No problem.”

I’m sure she’ll be very happy to make good use of the book card.

“I-it’s different! Well, by different I mean, even if you make a library card, you have to be the person to borrow it.”

“Really?”

But how do you verify a student’s identity? I don’t have a driver’s license.

“Well, to be honest, it’s not that strict.
But… if I try to borrow a book as ‘Hiroyuki Higashi Kujo’…”

“Oh.
There’s a high chance they’ll find out.”

”That’s right.
Plus, I’m kind of a regular, so the librarians remember my name and appearance.”

“They would probably remember you as the distinguished looking girl.”

“I agree.
I’ve never gained anything by having a good appearance, but I’ve lost a lot.”

You’ve never benefited from your looks?

““Ojou-chan, you’re adorable! I’ll give you some extra!”And so on.
Isn’t that what people say to you when you go shopping?”

“I don’t go shopping.”

“Ah.”

“Sometimes I’ve been criticized for my looks, but I can’t remember a time when I’ve gotten anything out of it.”

“What about the boys who take care of you? Who will carry heavy bags for you, or take over cleaning duty?”

“There are? For me?” 

“Probably not.
For Kiryu-san.” 

“Nobody is going to give me any flirtatious looks, probably because they are afraid of the stares of the girls.”

No, I don’t think it’s just the stares of girls.
You have the mouth and attitude of a villainess.
You may think it didn’t happen because you went to an all-girls middle school, but you probably won’t get that kind of princess-like treatment at a co-ed school, either.
Thinking that, I looked at Kiryu’s face and planned to ask… what? Why is she staring at my face? Don’t tell me you’re thinking I’m being disrespectful?

“So I…”

“..”

“Now, you’re holding the books for me like it’s a normal thing, aren’t you?”

“This?”

I lifted up the handbag and showed it to her.
Kiryu’s face, which was raised as if she was being led by the bag, had an embarrassed smile on it.

“I’m so happy.
It’s like… I am finally being treated like a girl…”

“Well… Th-that’s good.
I’m happy for you.”

“…”

“…”

“Anyway.
Well, it’s the same thing this time, isn’t it? It’s not a good thing to stand out and have your face and name remembered… It really isn’t!”

“I-I see.
It can’t be that bad, right?”

“It really is.
It’s a sin to be pretty.”

“A sin?”

“It’s more like punishment.
You could even call it the wrath of God.

“What’s with that hard mode of life? That’s a super s****y game.”

“I’ve been blessed in other places, so I guess it’s even.
And I digress.
Anyway, that’s why I need you to go to the library with me.
I-Is it a no?”

As if in fear of being rejected, she looks me in the eye as she picks at the sleeves of my clothes.
Hey, that’s pretty cute. 

“Well, I can do that much.”

“Really?!  Yay!  I’m so glad!”

I couldn’t help but let out a laugh at the sight of Kiryu jumping up and down on the spot.
Is she really that happy?

“So when do you want to go then? Maybe this Saturday–“

“Tomorrow! Let’s go tomorrow after school!”

“Eh, That’s quick! Tomorrow?!”

“What? You have something to do?”

“No, I don’t.”

As long as I don’t have any sudden remedial classes or anything like that, my schedule’s free.
We haven’t had any quizzes lately, so I should be fine, right?

“Then tomorrow it is! Yay! There was a book I gave up on today in tears! I’m so happy, Higashi kujo-kun! Thank you!”

“I hope it won’t be borrowed today,” I think, watching Kiryu’s back as she walks, mumbling something with a slightly anxious look on my face.

After that my smile turned into a look of anxiety as I thought “I really hope no one borrows it today”, while following Kiryu who was mumbling something as she walked.
(E/N: If you’re still confused on the borrow, he meant the book that kiryu was talking about earlier.) 

This is a date, isn’t it?

“What are you doing, Higashi Kujo-kun?　Let’s go home quickly!”

　

I wondered if I was the only one who was aware of Kiryu’s sparkling smile.
I felt a little embarrassed, so I quickened my pace.
