6 Main Heroines Who Absolutely Want to Monopolize Me - V1 Chapter 3.8

Idols, Actresses, and Influencers at the Amusement Park 8

“That’s what business is all about, isn’t it? I understand the importance of money because I’m earning my own money to live by myself now because I attend a private high school. I’ve gritted my teeth countless times seeing my classmates who spend money like turning on tap water.”

I continued,

“In my case, it’s true that I had a privileged upbringing and education from birth to middle school. I’m aware that I have a sharp mind, as you put it, I had the ‘foundation.’ I also realize that I’m fighting using that as my weapon. But precisely because of that, I genuinely admire Ria for using everything she can as her weapons and earning money.”

“Really..?”

“Yeah.”

I nod. This is my true feeling.

“Ria, I thought you were incredibly cool.”

“Shinichi-kun…!”

After calling my name with wide-open eyes, Ria shakes her head as if to brush something off.

“N-No, it’s not like that! It’s not a big deal, really; Rii don’t think much about it. Rii is Japan’s top idol, she’s not that fragile…Th-the thing is, I get called ‘cute’ a lot, but not ‘cool’ very often, so I was just a little surprised…”

She mumbles something incoherent.

No, I’m the one who’s surprised by her unexpected reaction.

“…A-Anyway! Rii wants to make sure Rii’s money doesn’t go towards that man’s debts and instead goes solely to my mom and sister. Can you do that?”

“No, I can’t.”

“Huh!? Then what was all that talk just now!?”

Ria’s expression changes completely, and she widens her eyes in disbelief.

“I told you, right? Without paper, pen, and a seal, you can’t make a will.”

“I told you everything becauseI thought you could figure something out now! The worst…!”

Ria glares at me with teary eyes.

“Well, from the beginning, you don’t need to write a will.”

I stand up quietly.

And with the coolest smile I’ve ever mustered, I tell her.

“Ria, can you get on top of me?”

“Huh!? That’s creepy!”

Too harsh!!

While hurt by her reaction, I offered Ria the lighter I took out from my pocket.

“Do you know how to use a lighter?”

“I know, but why? Are you insane to light a fire in this scorching heat? Did the heat fry your brain? What are you planning? And why do you carry it with you? You’re not a smoker, right? I hate smokers because my supposed father used to smoke.”

Scary-scary, she’s really angry.

Come back! The gentle Ria from a moment ago.

“I’m not a smoker. I’m not even 20 yet. I bought it at the shop earlier, just in case.”

“Just in case what?”

“To be trapped like this.”

“Huh..?”

What I had anticipated was being trapped with Ria, not that Ria would be trapped with me.

“I’m scared because I don’t understand what you’re saying… What do you mean?”

“Here, start a fire.”

I point to the ceiling where a fire alarm and sprinkler are installed.

“If a fire happens, someone should be alerted, and rescue should come.”

“I see… you could have told me earlier.”

“I wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with Ria.”

As I say that with a cool smile again, Ria kicks my shin and tearfully exclaims.

“Rii really needs to go to the bathroom, Rii has been holding back so much!”

Sorry about that…

She then slowly climbs onto my shoulders.

“Oh wow, Shinichi-kun, your head is slippery with sweat!”

“I find your sweaty thighs equally uncomfortable…”

“Huh? Rii’s thigh sweat? Isn’t that a reward? Why don’t you drink it? “

“Hey, Idol…”

Well, technically, a former idol.

“If this doesn’t work, I’ll seriously kill you, you know?”

“If this doesn’t work, we’ll die anyway.”

I wonder how many people in this world would be willing to die while being sandwiched between Ria’s thighs.

But I’m different. Probably?

“Here I go…”

“Ah…”

Ria lights the lighter and brings it closer to the sprinkler area.

A few seconds later…

Jiriririririri!

With a loud noise, a shower of water pours down from the ceiling.

“Wow, that’s a lot of water! Shinichi-kun, get me down quickly!”

“Yeah, sure…!”

Ria, who has descended from my shoulders, spreads her arms and takes in the water.

“Hahaha, it feels so great!”

“…Yeah, it does.”

If that smiling face beyond the water spray is fake, it would hurt quite a bit.

“What are you smiling about? It’s your fault, Shinichi-kun.”

“It’s not my fault, definitely not.”

“No, it’s all because of Shinichi-kun that…”

Ria continues with that seemingly innocent smile.

“…I feel a little refreshed now♡”

“Is that so?”

Well, I got to see something good too.

“…Oh, Shinichi-kun, what should we do? If I get in the water, I’ll be in trouble.”

“Huh? What?”

When I look at her, she says, ‘I can’t hold it anymore…’ (toilet)

“What?”

I look up at her, and the next thing I know, the door opens.

“Hey, are you okay, Shin? What is this situation?”

“Oh, Hirakawa and Meguro, were you having fun again this time?”

“Excuse me!” (失敬)

Saying that, Ria rushes out, shouting words like a middle-aged man.

I hope she makes it in time.
