I Was Reincarnated as a Creepy Fat Guy, Then Trained Myself Without Sleep. And Then, for Some Reason, the Heroines Start Approaching Me - Chapter 10: Offer Blessings to the Author Who Created the Character ‘Her

“Man, Maririn-sama yesterday was seriously like an angel, right?”

“That wasn’t an angel. More like a little devil, if anything.”

The three of us gathered, sneaking through the school’s main gate, reminiscing about yesterday’s events at the maid cafe. Of course, I didn’t mention that Maririn-chan had given me her Ein account ID.

“Keisuke, if you come, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it!”

“…I’m, uh…”

“Haha! I get it! Hopefully, someday we’ll all go together.”

“Yeah. I want to hang out with Itsuki-kun and Manabu-kun too.”

As Manabu and Keisuke chatted amiably, I noticed the familiar annoying blond guy and his friend in the corner of my vision, chatting as they walked. Hayama, the annoying blonde, seemed to have noticed my presence and stopped talking and looked at me for a moment. Incidentally, among his friends, there was a guy who was on duty with me yesterday.

Well, I don’t really have any connection with them.

I subtly moved my head to keep them out of my line of sight. Just then, Manabu spoke to me.

“Itsuki.”

“Hm?”

“What are you doing today?”

“Hmm… after school, going to the gym… my parents are on a day trip and will be back late, so probably stopping by the supermarket for dinner.”

“The sports gym, huh… then, could we hit the arcade after school? I was thinking of beating my high score in that rhythm game.”

“The arcade’s fine, but make sure to enjoy some real-life fun too.”

“Ah, people don’t change easily, huh…”

“Hey, think back to how you were just a month ago.”

As I was somewhat repulsed by Manabu’s comment, Keisuke suddenly caught my attention with a meaningful expression.

“Itsuki’s parents… day trip…”

He muttered, his translucent eyes hidden behind his long hair gleaming.

“Ah! Itsuki-kun, good morning!”

“Oh… Kanna. Good morning.”

After parting ways with Manabu and Keisuke, while heading towards the classroom, the main heroine, Kanna, waved and greeted me, approaching.

Thus, we walked side by side through the hallway filled with students’ voices.

“Um…”

“Hmm?”

We continued towards the classroom in silence, but it seemed Kanna had something to say to me.

As I glanced at her, she fidgeted, trying to avert her gaze, but her beautiful blue eyes accurately met mine. Then she spoke up.

“Did you have fun yesterday… maybe?”

“Yesterday?”

“Yeah! You mentioned there’s a promise. Like playing with a girl…”

As she trailed off, her tone seemed to lose confidence as we moved further back. But her occasional glances toward me made her look somewhat like a cute small animal. Not that her body resembled one at all.

“Yeah. It was fun. It’s been a while since we hung out, so it was a good memory.”

It was filled with beautiful maids over there, and it was fun being with Maririn-chan. Yesterday was a day full of good things.

“R-really…”

Hearing my feedback, Kanna suddenly seemed disheartened.

“What’s wrong suddenly?”

“It’s nothing…”

“No, doesn’t look like ‘nothing’ to me.”

Worried, I asked her as she glanced in the direction of tomorrow. Then, she spoke with a twisted expression.

“She must be your girlfriend……”

“Girlfriend??”

“You seemed really friendly, and I kinda expected it… I was just a little worried you might get caught up with some weird girl…”

Kanna let out a deep sigh with a resigned look before slowing her pace.

Wait a sec. Our conversation had absolutely nothing to do with romance or girlfriends. What is she talking about?

“Kanna.”

“Hm?”

I conveyed the situation to her.

“The maid… right.”

“Yeah. Not my girlfriend.”

“Phew.”

“What’s with the sigh…”

“It’s nothing.”

“No, it’s definitely something.”

Kanna puffed her cheeks and crossed her arms. Not just her chest, even her cheeks seemed to inflate like a balloon.

“As a punishment for misleading me, there’s something I want you to do, Itsuki-kun.”

“I’m already lost. What do you want me to do?”

While glaring at me, she reached into her skirt pocket and pulled out her phone, offering it to me.

“A phone?”

“Exchange contacts.”

“Oh, that’s what you mean.”

“Itsuki-kun, as a punishment, let me repay you for helping me the other day”

That ‘the other day’ refers to the time when I helped this person from that pick-up artist.

“Don’t worry about it. I just did what was natural.”

“I can’t just be indebted to you forever. It’s give and take. I have to repay the favor I got from you.”

“R-right.”

Kanna’s parents must be remarkable individuals. I’d like to meet them someday.

With a slightly surprised expression, I exhaled softly, then looked at her face. She, in turn, bent her waist slightly and looked up at me with a bashful glance.

“Besides repaying the favor, I’ll contact you about various other things too. Fufu.”

“…”

“I’ve finished entering the phone number.”

“Y-yeah.”

She politely took the phone from my hand and tapped on it a few times. Suddenly, my phone in my pocket rang. Probably a call from her.

“Add mine too.”

“Right.”

“Well then, I’ll go ahead. Fufu.”

“…”

She beamed a smile and quickened her pace. I absentmindedly watched her figure as she walked away.

Long black hair, slender waist, shapely buttocks, and legs with beautiful contours extending from the short skirt.

In the school uniform, or rather because of it, her beauty seemed to stand out even more.

Before I knew it, I was standing and gazing at the hallway she had walked down, now empty.

The author… to create such a character, they’re quite skilled.

School ended, and after exercising at the newly registered sports gym, I arrived at the shopping district. Since Dad and Mom were returning late from their day trip, I had to manage dinner with the money I received.

Usually, I had dinner with my family, but today I was alone after a long time.

A long time, huh…

In my previous life, I often ate alone. Apart from times I got involved with girls I picked up, it was mostly just me.

Dad, Mom, Manabu, Keisuke…

The previous Itsuki Kondo might have been a creepy fatty, but I think he was rather fortunate.

Thinking about such things, as I was about to enter the supermarket, my phone rang.

Curious, I took out my phone and checked the screen. It was an Ein message from someone.

It was from Keisuke.

“Oh, that’s rare. Receiving a message from Keisuke.”

I smiled faintly, unlocked my phone, and checked the message.

[Itsuki-kun, haven’t had dinner yet?]

I promptly replied.

[Yeah. I’m going to the supermarket to buy a bento.]

As I hit send, a response came back immediately.

[Stop it!]

“Huh?”

I was puzzled by the meaning behind his message. Then, another reply came from Keisuke.

[Don’t buy anything and just go home. Otherwise, you’ll be cursed.]

“C-cursed!?”

I showed a horrified expression at Keisuke’s message, which far exceeded my imagination.

[What do you mean by that?]

However, this time, no matter how long I waited, there was no response. Well, it showed as “read,” so I figured he was watching.

The shopping district was bustling with office workers returning from work and students returning from cram schools, among others.

I stood in front of the supermarket, staring at my phone for a long while, until finally, I got a response from him.

[.]

“Wha-!”

I widened my eyes in surprise. However, his response was so typical of Keisuke that I couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

While chuckling, I replied.

[Got it!]

X X X

“Huh!”

I was bewildered.

Deciding to play along with Keisuke’s nonsensical story, I arrived home, only to find a beautiful girl with blue hair standing there.

As she noticed my presence, she politely bowed her head towards me.

Then, she lifted her head and said, “Itsuki Onii-sama. I’ve been waiting for you.”

A voice reminiscent of a voice actor’s crystal-clear tone. Unlike Kanna or Maririn-chan, her body hadn’t matured yet. However, her refined facial features carried an air of grace.

When I saw her at the yakiniku party the other day, I was so immersed in the atmosphere that I didn’t pay much attention, but she’s a really beautiful girl.

She’s Keisuke’s younger sister, making her appearance.
