Have you ever wondered why there had to be antagonistic characters in romantic novels? Whether it was a rom-com or heavy romantic drama, there would be a character designed to go against the protagonists to promote and heat their relationships. Even though some weren't bad from the original intention, there were still some characters belonging to the "almost"-criminal side like some pick-up guys on the street in my previous life.

When a male protagonist and his heroine go on a date in a big city like Tokyo, the heroine will be flirted with and invited by some seeming-to-be bad guy with blond hair, tanned skin, and dense muscle. Sorry for my prejudice against those who had that kind of appearance. I would give you an apology to you if I said wrong. The heroine had a superior appearance through some lines from the male protagonist like 'She is the most beautiful girl from my school, who is good at studying, exercising, and friendly toward anyone. She is my Goddess...The higher castle...blah...blah...blah'. Oops, I almost forgot this line 'While I'm just an ordinary high school boy without anything special. She is just out of my reach'. The male protagonist with his fragile and inferior personality believed that he didn't deserve her...And then, for some reason, the seeming-to-be-ordinary high school boy could make the goddess fall helplessly in love with him. Good Job, Author!

Almost all romantic novels had that kind of template...I meant the people with different specs could be matched...Not only Shounen but Shoujou as well. An ordinary girl could be matched with a super handsome manly man for some reason.

The two of them would have a disguised date as an excuse to go shopping for something. Then, it was your job, antagonist-kun. A blond boy with tanned skin came out of nowhere with his delinquent look approaching the female protagonist with an overused line 'Oujo-chan, why are you standing here alone? Go and play with this big brother, blah...blah...blah'. Etou...I almost forgot again. The promise that never old 'I promise that I won't do something strange to you. I just invite you to play to kill time'.

The credibility of this promise was extremely low but it was effective against some women in H manga in my previous life, which I had never had a chance to read or I should say that I didn't dare go to the 18+ zone of the bookstore. Their IQ was severely decreased under the pen of pervert authors. I would give you all my apologies, Doujinshi authors-kun. Speaking of which, the female protagonist struggled to fight with them despite being boosted by the author with high specs. For some reason, the heroine couldn't deal with it and had to wait for rescue from the ordinary high school boy. Really? Author? Didn't you just slap the heroine in the face with her incredibly high spec? 'Smart, beautiful, good at sport' couldn't deal with this antagonist? How could she survive until she met the male protagonist? Hence, this was called 'Plot Hole' to give the male protagonist a chance to show off or something like that.

Let's come to the main point. In fact, I was currently being flirted and invited to somewhere to play. I thought I was the villainess of this world so I didn't have to worry about something like this would happen. After all, I was on the same side as them, the antagonists, wasn't I? How could it happen to me, a villainess?!!!

"Ara~, Oujo-chan, why are you standing there alone? Come and play with this big sister, I promise I won't do something strange"

"It will be fun and pleasurable"

"I promise~"

"..."

Instead of a tanned boy with blond hair, I was invited by a Gyaru, who was older than me for sure. I meant this was the female version that I had told you above. It was strange...being picked up by a girl. If I were in the previous world, I would jump out and throw myself into her arms. Kohum...I was just joking. I wasn't that low-level man...But it wasn't the problem anymore because I wasn't a man...What was I thinking?

Looking at you, your promise reached 0% percent of credibility. Why didn't you just talk straight that you wanted my precious body?

Then, what was about me? Would there be a person who came to stop this seeming-to-be alpha Gyaru?

I wasn't high specs so there would be someone, right? Speaking of which, where was my martial arts master? Sasaki-san, hello. Your Oujo-sama had been flirted with by a certain bad girl there...Rescue me!

"No..."

I could only reply to one sentence and looked into her eyes. This Gyaru was beautiful. No wonder she was so skillful at picking up Omega on the street. I just scored you 5 out of 10 because you used those shameful lines of those bad guys in the fictional novels.

I had received sexual education from Natasha-Okaa-sama so it would be better to be my past self to isolate potential threats from women. I had grown up enough to raise my guard against women. I was so proud of myself but felt slightly disappointed when this Gyaru didn't know me.

"You aren't fun at all...Big sister will be sad...~"

"Then, tell me...People said that after releasing emotions inside, they won't be sad anymore"

I honestly replied because I was weak against the beautiful woman in front of me. Why didn't you find a job and be proud Alpha instead of being a scumbag on the street?

"Uh...Then, can you put away your popcorn when people are about to tell their sad story?"

"..."

*Chewing noise*

Sorry, my teeth suddenly got itchy and I needed to chew something to release this feeling. The face of the Gyaru in front of me changed the expression constantly and had an art effect "#" on her forehead like she was mad. Was she a scumbag? I didn't know what the true face behind this pick-up Omega girl.

"My bad...my bad"

How to explain my situation? Sasaki-san and I went to the shopping mall to choose a gift for my brat at home. Tomorrow would be her 3-year-old birthday. I took a chance on my mom and the two 'My future partner?' having a conversation in my room to go out and cool my head after the accident of the main heroine. I didn't expect she would dedicate her body to me.

It was dangerous...If love didn't have any sexual desire, it would just be a friendship. Therefore, I understood her intention because she tried to get me to understand love...It was just...My heart pounded because of my instinct or...I didn't know...Emotions were something so far away from my hands. Dedicating my life to someone was hard to imagine in this world.

It wasn't that I didn't go to play with Rei but Rei insisted that she wanted to go out with me. This was the reason why Sasaki-san didn't appear on time. Rei wanted to go to the toilet or something and she dragged Sasaki-san somewhere that I didn't know while I was standing there to wait for them to come back.

"..."

It was strange a little...This Gyaru's pheromone...I meant...Was she an Alpha? Jasmine's gentle scent refreshed my mind, which went against her appearance outside...It didn't have any dominant traits of an Alpha.

"You're so funny...Sui-chan"

She smiled and addressed my nickname exactly.

"Eh?"

I let out a surprised note.

"What? Surprise? I know you, of course"

She shrugged her shoulder.

Oh, it turned out she was my fan, but hey, don't ever use that kind of approach again. I almost pulled the trigger to call the police to take you away. It was hard to fight against my prejudice.

Don't judge a book by its cover.

I knew but I was a human after all. They would believe in their eyes more than what was inside.

"Hahaha~ I'm sorry for my rude approach before...It's just a joke. I hope you don't mind"

She smiled and explained her situation. Perhaps, she had noticed my left hand was about to pull the trigger so she hurriedly stated her purpose and my identity...Maybe this Gyaru was no ordinary...Because ordinary people couldn't notice my designed trigger hanging in my bag, it meant that she knew my emergency device. To have such a piece of knowledge, she must have been a kidnapper or come from a rich family.

"But I mind..."

It would be better to talk straightforwardly with a stranger. Who knew the ulterior motive behind that beautiful face? Or was she also an Oujo-sama trying to dress up like Gyaru? However, I couldn't deny that she was just a suspicious stranger in my eyes.

"Stop...Don't pull the trigger!!!"

As I intended to pull the trigger, the Gyaru in front of me had her face pale and grabbed my hand. She screamed.

Not only that, she knelt with a 'Dogeza' posture to beg me not to pull my emergency device. I thought that I finally had a chance to use this device, which had accompanied me since childhood. I wondered if after pulling it, what would happen...It was a pity...

The eyes of people around us gathered at this place, where a Gyaru knelt as if she was about to propose to me.

"Eh? Isn't she Suiri?"

Then, a certain voice identified me among the crowds, making others focus on me more than necessary. It was the worst because I couldn't deal with so many people there.

"Ah...um...Hello"

I waved my hand toward them together with the popcorn pack with caramel flavor. It was delicious anyway...

It wasn't the case!!!

In no time, the crowd surrounded and watched us like some animals in the red list. This was the price of walking on the path of public figures. At first, I intended to hide like Yakou-san but my mom and old hag auntie didn't allow it. Her reason was like 'No...How can I receive the sponsorship contract?'. I meant my auntie sold my appearance. Doing everything was just to get money despite herself being a rich second generation. 

Although some knew me through my song, others found my appearance attractive so they couldn't help but glance at me.

"Sui-chan, who is that person?"

A male fan pointed his finger at the kneeling Gyaru, who was hugging my leg. And then, she looked at the man strangely and stood up.

"If I say that I'm her acquaintance, will you believe me?"

The Gyaru spoke and smiled awkwardly.

"No...I don't even know her name"

I exposed her directly. Everyone, there was a scam in my previous world and I had to tell my former sister over and over again. When you walked alone on the street, there was someone suddenly coming to you and pretending to be your acquaintance. They would act according to a certain script. Outsiders couldn't help you because they thought it was just others' family matters so they didn't care and what happened to you in the next moment. The culprits were found as kidnappers, blackmailers, rapists, and even fraudsters...etc.

It would be better to talk straight and not to give them a chance to act dumb.

Although you were a beautiful woman, I couldn't accept this girl, who had the behavior of a criminal.

"I'm sorry...I lied! I'm just one of her fans and want to have a private talk with her!"

This Gyaru used her 'Dogeza Attack' to the male fan. It seemed to be effective because the man suddenly turned red. She hugged his leg to beg for forgiveness. Did this girl have such a fetish of Dogeza? Let's call her Dogeza-san for now.

"Onee-chan, what're you doing!?"

Another male voice called the owner of this address 'Onee-chan'. I wondered who he was calling but I seemed to have an answer in my heart. Dogeza-san's face turned paler and she walked sneakily to pass the crowd. However, the voice's owner had held her ear and squeezed it.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! It hurts!! Hina-chan!"

Eh? This boy had a feminine name like Hina. Strange...

"My eyes just left you, and you went to do Dogeza with others in the broad daylight!"

He squeezed harder and the Dogeza-san's face distorted in pain. Woo...It seemed to be hurt. My hand unconsciously picked up some popcorn and filled my mouth while watching the next unfolding.

Tch..tch...tch...So miserable.

The youthful boy seemed to have a superior position in the house, and this Dogeza-san was at the bottom of the food chain. While the boy was scolding Dogeza-san on the street, my fans signaled me to sign them and take a picture together. 

I nodded and accompanied them for about 20 minutes.

After that, the boy pressed Dogeza-san's head to bow down and said.

"I'm sorry for my sister, Hoshiyuki-san, I hope you can forgive my idiot sister"

He also bowed and apologized sincerely. And...He seemed to know me as well.

"I'm not an idiot!!"

Dogeza-san retorted while struggling under this guy's hand.

"Shut up! Sato Megumi!!!"

The boy stated Dogeza-san's full name. Oh, her name was Megumi...Sato...It was familiar.

"Iyahhh~"

Dogeza-san screamed as my mind ran wild. Hina-chan...

Sato...

Don't tell me...

"My name is Sato Hinata. Nice to meet you, Hoshiyuki-san"

"..."

The boy introduced himself politely, turning me into a snow statue.

Eh? Eh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!? 

No doubt anymore...This was the name that I had imprinted deeply in my brain!!

My cold sweat poured down my forehead. There were a lot of thoughts running at the same time while my brain was trying to load. 

Wasn't he the male protagonist of this world!? Sato Hinata...The darling of heaven, who had a kind heart and worked hard to achieve his goal, was standing in front of me!!!

It wasn't that I was scared of him...After all, as long as I didn't do anything like the original 'Suiri', I could continue to live with peace of mind. However, the heroine behind him was the problem.

Shiratani Himeki! The extremely dangerous person was also known as the male protagonist's childhood friend, the Yandere of this novel! Hello, Himeki-san, your light was standing in front of me and bowed his head just now. I hoped that you could pretend like you had never seen this problem. Luckily, she didn't seem to be there. Otherwise, I doubted that I could survive through the first chapter later.

"Um...Hello, Sato-san..."

I politely greeted him back.

Unknowingly, the popcorn had been run out. I almost couldn't maintain my nervousness inside my chest.

"Hina-chan, what're you doing here?"

At the next moment, a female voice echoed behind me, making my back soak in sweat despite the cold weather outside. I could feel a black smoke surrounding my neck as if she was speculating whether I was a pick-up guy to take her light away. It gave me goosebumps like a scythe was put on my neck. Himeki-san, I was the same Omega as your light. I didn't pick up him but his sister picked up me...Eh? Did the male protagonist have a sister?

"..."

I looked at Doge...I meant Megumi-san strangely. Oh, she had some resemblance points...I meant...the sister of the male protagonist didn't get mentioned in the novel from Vol 1. It should be that she would appear in Vol 2. Maybe...

"Ah, Hime-chan. This is what happened..."

Hinata explained the situation to his Yandere...A minute later, the black smoke that was surrounding me disappeared and it was replaced with a gentle atmosphere and a strange pheromone...I knew this smell...This was the signature smell of Himeki. I wondered if you had the habit of sniffing your new books. Her smell was the same as that smell. It was so satisfying...What was I thinking?!

Her colorless eyes returned the color of blood...It was strange but it suited her well with her dark silver hair. Her facial features weren't aggressive like any Alpha I had ever seen. At least, they were all well-defined and placed where needed, giving the others a pleasant feeling. About her chest...It was the airport...No wonder that she was the yandere...

There was a saying 'Women's chest represents their kindness'...It wasn't that I praised myself or something...Don't get me wrong! Her height was quite tall and I couldn't believe that I was just the same height as her wide shoulder. Considering that my height was also taller than the average Japanese girl with the number 169.5. I rounded it up to 170 to speak easily. It wasn't that I cheated height or something like that.

Don't blame the good people.

On the other hand, the male protagonist looked like a female and I couldn't look at him like a man. After all, Male Omegas were all like this, but he was just cute and cute...All were cute. This kind of appearance had made countless readers in my previous life troll the author that this was just an Otome game in disguise. If you removed his clothes, he would become a girl immediately.

"Iyah~...It's not my fault...I'm doing all of this because of Hime...Ugh!!!"

Dogeza-san spoke halfway and got a loving punch in the stomach from Himeki...Violence!!! Was it considered domestic violence!? Sister-in-law ate a punch from her brother's girlfriend...

"In front of her, don't talk nonsense, Megumi-nee-chan, please~"

Himeki reminded her 'gently' but I felt it was more like a warning to be exact.

"Hiya! She is so scary...Hina-chan"

Dogeza-san immediately switched to hug the leg of her brother. Then, I took a glance at the male protagonist, Hinata...His eyes looked a little complicated for a second and that feeling disappeared in no time. Maybe, it was just my imagination.

"When she was at home, she didn't behave like this"

Dogeza-san murmured weakly as I couldn't hear her sentence. Because the voice of Himeki-san overlapped with her.

"Sui-cha...I meant Hoshiyuki-san. I'm sorry for my neighborhood's sister. Did she say something strange? Did she mention anything weird about me? Where did she hug you?"

Himeki-san spewed out a lot of questions but the last question sounded wrong in my ears.

"???"

"No problem...She just hugged my leg"

I retold her.

"Let me help you clean your pants..."

Himeki said distressedly like something bad or dirty stuck on my long pants.

"No need..."

I refused politely.

No matter what I said...She just knelt and helped me clean the pants. Her hand ran smoothly on my legs, giving me a strange feeling. Did she clean it?

"Don't treat me like I'm something filthy!!!"

Dogeza-san retorted Himeki-san, but she didn't even hear her sister-in-law's complain. 

My heart couldn't help but feel pity for this Gyaru-Onee-san.

"You don't need to do this, but thank you"

When I said that, she also stood up.

"No problem. Let me introduce myself again. My name is Shiratani Himeki"

She gave her right hand.

"Um...Hoshiyuki Suiri..."

I also caught her hand to shake as a part of etiquette...But...shaking hands was a little...weird. Fuu~. Luckily, she didn't have any intention to stab me.

"Onee-chan!!"

"Oujo-sama!!"

The two figures approached there. One Loli and one mature butler headed there.

"Welcome back"

I greeted.

"I'm sorry for making you wait so long"

Sasaki-san realized the mess when she left me alone. Her eyes turned cold as if she wanted to blame herself.

"Onee-chan, I miss you~"

Rei ran toward me and spread her hand to wait for me to hug her. It couldn't be helped...She was too spoiled. Besides that, didn't I just play with her this morning?

"Then, we won't disturb your time outside anymore. Have a good day with your family, Sui-ch...Hoshiyuki-san..."

Himeki wanted to call me Sui-chan but she had realized that she didn't know me much.

"You can call me by my nickname if you want, Shiratani-san"

I suggested. Her expression suddenly turned lively and nodded her head.

"Then, Sui-chan...Hehehe~. Goodbye~"

Himeki-san let out a gentle smile and waved her hand toward me. 

"Um...Bye-bye, Doge...Megumi-san, Hinata-san, and Shiratani-san"

The male protagonist and his sister looked at Himeki-san strangely. However, I didn't want to think more because I wanted to escape from there. I had underestimated the power of the plot. Going outside could randomly meet the main cast...Not only that, the unknown factor had appeared...The sister of the protagonist...

Looking at my sister lying on my hand with her spoiled face, she was also the product of my butterfly's wing...Therefore, let's put those plots away and enjoy the moment of my life.

"Which gift do you want, Rei-chan?"

I asked Rei.

"I will like whatever sister gives me, hehehe~. You're the greatest gift I have received"

Rei said so and hugged me tightly.

"Thank you, Sui-onoe-chan"

Rei said that as we headed to other departments of the shopping mall.


Unknown to me, the face of Sasaki-san had been darkened, and glanced at me with a bullet gaze...It would be good if it was just my imagination...However, when I turned to her, she returned the previous emotionless face. 

"Is there something wrong, Sasaki-san?"

I asked while walking leisurely with Rei.

"Nothing..."

She answered shortly.

She was sulking for sure.

Hmm...Speaking of which, I had never given her anything...

"Sasaki-san..."

I called her name.

"Yes, Oujo-sama"

She replied immediately.

"Give me your hand"

I ordered her. In fact, I rarely gave her any orders because I didn't want to be the same as the original 'Suiri'.

"Yes"

She was puzzled but still compromised.

"Thank you for helping me...This is my gift"

I said that and gave her the gift that I found in the accessory store.

"Oujo-sama...This..."

She widened her eyes and looked at me.

"Don't you like it?"

It was the thin necklace with the main blue crystal ball. Although it wasn't an expensive accessory, it caught my attention while I was finding something for Rei.

"No...No...Thank you, Oujo-sama..."

Sasaki-san's face turned red a little bit.

"Thank you...Sasaki-san, please continue to take care of me for the rest of my life"

I thought it should be enough, but Sasaki-san froze and her eyes went wider than usual. Huh? Did I say something wrong?

She immediately shook her head and murmured in a low voice that I couldn't hear.

"..."

"Oujo-sama, you're an idiot~You cheat when you say that"

"Hmm? Did you say something, Sasaki-san?"

I asked to make sure. She had just murmured something.

"Nothing, Thank you, Oujo-sama, I will cherish it"

She held my necklace like some treasure. It wasn't expensive...Or would it be better to use more money to be realistic and practical?

Then, my phone suddenly rang, making my eyes frown slightly.

'Old Hag'

It seemed that my auntie was calling me.

"Moshi Moshi, Aunt Mei"

I answered.

"You idiot, what are you doing outside!?"

Before I could know what was going on, my auntie scolded me harshly.

"I'm going shopping with Rei. I wanted to buy her a gift because tomorrow was her birthday..."

I replied.

"..."

"Haa~, then you turned your phone. You got caught by some paparazzi outside"

"Ah~ My precious rest time~"

*Bip* *bip*

"Eh?"

Then, I followed my auntie's complaint, making my face frozen despite it being always frozen.

Some titles of those miscellaneous papers made me speechless.

'Hoshiyuki Suiri abused her power to force a Gyaru to kneel in front of people'

'Behind the mask of a talented musician was a Yankee?'

Even...

'Gyaru couldn't be the opponent of Hoshiyuki Suiri'

"..."

What the!!? How could you come up with those pieces of *beep*!?
