I'm The Heroine, But I Want To Hand That Role Over Chapter 46

46

We arrived in front of the ferris wheel.

We decided to ride this too; however, the rooms only had a capacity of two people.

And so, the results for deciding the pairs, with rock paper scissors, was that the prince and I will get on it together.

........honestly, I have a bad feeling.

Before getting on it, I glanced at Miku-sama, her expression looked complicated but when she looked at me, she smiled.

I must make the prince give up on me quickly, for Miku-sama's sake too.

I'll settle this once for all.

I boarded the ferris wheel with that determination.

To me, the prince fell in love with me because of the manga’s correction.

Because there's no way he'd fall for me when he has such a beauty as a childhood friend.

I stared motionless at the prince who was enjoying the scenery.

Probably noticing my gaze, the prince turned to me and smiled. 

"Is something the matter, Kaguragi-san?"

"No, there's nothing at all."

"Ah, perhaps, you are poor with high places?"

"No. I'm fine with high places."

"Then, why were you looking at my face?"

Saying "no reason," suddenly a scene in the event of the manga floated in my mind.

That's right. Recently, a lot of things had happened, and I ended up easily forgetting about the events of the manga.

Although it's a bit different from the situation in the manga, there was an event where Rinka and the prince boarded a ferris wheel together.

In my previous life, I honestly had no interest in this event, having had given it only a quick look doomed me now, and I forgot the fact that there was such an event in itself.

Ehm…..what happened in this event?

Ah yes, if I remember correctly…….

At the same time I recalled it, a *gatan* sound was heard and the ferris wheel stopped.

Yes, even in the manga, the ferris wheel stopped in the middle.

I felt desperation a.s.saulting me.

Even when I did all that to avoid the prince in the first year, as soon as I met the prince, voillà, a manga event occurred.

I wonder, can't I win over the power of the manga?

"A malfunction…….?"

The prince, doubtful, looked around.

The other pa.s.sengers looked perplexed too.

Even that, was exactly like in the manga.

"It's all right. I'm sure it will move soon."

When I made an anxious face, the prince misunderstood and tried to encourage me.

".......yeah. You're right."

"......Kaguragi-san? Why are you making such a face? You look like you’re about to cry?"

About to cry? Me?

Might be so. Because it's advancing exactly like in the manga.

I remained silent without saying anything, so the prince smiled bitterly.

"......Kaguragi-san is... a strange person, mh."

"Really……? I don't feel so myself though."

"You've been avoiding me right? Why?"

"I'm not avoiding Tojo-sama."

"That's a lie."

"It is not."

In reality, I am; but I can't say that to him.

Even if I said yes, if he asked me why, I wouldn't be able to respond. So it's better to say right from the beginning that I'm not avoiding him.

"You're more obstinate than your appearance suggests, mh. Fufu, interesting."

I'm not one bit interesting.

"I don't hate that. Hey, Kaguragi-san."

Before I noticed, the prince hot close.

I wonder, when did he come that close?

We are inside a gondola; I have no place to run off to.

"Tojo-sama……"

"Looks like I'm relatively serious. I'm really attracted to you."

"For Tojo-sama, there's Miku-san, right?"

".......I can't make Miku happy."

"Why's that?"

"Miku is the Minase household heir. My mother and Miku are friends so they want us to marry but I cannot become the groom of the Minase household; something like the confidence to write the Tojo and Minase household, I don't have it. I don't think that such a me can make Miku happy."

The always cheerfully smiling prince is now making a dispirited smile.

I didn't know that the prince had his own conflict, and that he was troubled over them.

This was surely a problem that he couldn't open his heart about, even to Hasumi. Because he is his best friend, because he is his rival, he didn't want to tell him. 

I understand what he is worried about. However...

"So, what do you want to say? Why would Tojo-sama be the one to decide Miku-san's happiness? Something like whether she would be happy or not, it's Miku-san who decides that. Not something for you to determine."

"................this hurts my ears."

The prince laughed bitterly.

"You thinking of approaching me, is simply running away. Before running away you should properly talk with Miku-san. Please, do have a real talk with only the two of you, alone."

I surely looked as if I was glaring at the prince.

Miku-sama is in love with the prince.

I don't know if the prince has noticed Miku-sama's love; but for him to give up and decide on his own accord that he can't make her happy, I feel bad for Miku-sama.

The prince looked at me as if bewildered.

His face was saying, I never considered such a thing 

I smiled as if to make him relieved.

"......it's alright. Miku-san is a strong person. She'll be able to accept it."

Miku-sama's compa.s.sion is the biggest in the world.

If you properly consult Miku-sama and don't worry alone, I'm sure that the two of you will be able to find a solution.

"......un, you're right."

The prince tenderly smiled and then nodded.

His face was somewhat red.

Are you hot? But the air-conditioner is functioning…...

"I'll try to have a proper talk with Miku. About my feelings."

"Yes, do your best."

The prince made a refreshed smile.

At that time we heard a *gatan* and the ferris wheel began to move again.

"It finally moved."

"Yeah."

I breathed out a sigh of relief.

In the manga there was a scene where Rinka and the prince kissed.

Certainly, it would have been before the ferris wheel moved again.

In other words, I was able to avoid this time's kiss.

Have I won against the manga's power!? I did it! It was worth persisting so much!

I, who had easily forgotten about the despair I was feeling just a while ago, cried out banzai in my mind.

The happy me couldn't see the prince's face.

Who was making a little confused face.

"......somehow, I might have understood the reason Sousuke fell in love….."

I, who was waving my hands to the gondola that was immediately behind us, where Miku-sama was, didn't hear a word of what the prince muttered by himself while looking at the scenery.
