I Reincarnated as a Mob Character in a Romcom Manga—After I Kept Comforting the Third “Fanservice” Heroine When She Got Dumped and Cried, I Feel Like She’s Started Directing Some Seriously Heavy Feelings at Me

“Why didn’t I fall in love with you first… why…?”

“I’m sorry. I really can’t go out with you, Mitsushima.”

I was nothing more than a total background character and a gloomy introvert—Reiji Jeromiya. One day, I witnessed my beautiful classmate, the gravure-idol-type JK Chloe Mitsushima, getting dumped by the “main character,” Nayuta Yaohara.

At that exact moment, I remembered my past life.

This world turned out to be the setting of the super-popular harem romcom manga Schrödinger’s Love.

And the Chloe Mitsushima crying her eyes out right in front of me was the “third heroine” of that story—worse, she was the kind of heroine who could never win the heroine race: the so-called “fanservice” heroine.

In my previous life, I had suffered from a severe heart condition and had been told I wouldn’t live past twenty. Because of that, I deeply sympathized with Chloe’s “role” as someone who was doomed to lose from the very beginning, no matter how hard she tried.

Before I even realized it, I handed her a handkerchief and tried to comfort her.

As a result, Chloe grew strangely attached to me.

After being brutally dumped and stuck dwelling on her heartbreak, she ended up making me her go-to listener and emotional support. Before I knew it, we were eating lunch together like friends—me acting as her complaint desk and comfort pillow.

But… wait.

Aren’t the feelings she’s directing at me getting heavier by the day?

I’m just a gloomy mob character, you know…?

And more importantly—weren’t you supposed to be the third “fanservice” heroine, not a “yandere” heroine?
