I Was Reincarnated as a Creepy Fat Guy, Then Trained Myself Without Sleep. And Then, for Some Reason, the Heroines Start Approaching Me - Chapter 37: Because He Was Charming

I guided Kanna with determination. But since it was the first day, it wasn’t that big of a deal.

“I can’t do it anymore~”

“Good job.”

“Tomorrow, I might have terrible muscle pain…”

“In the beginning, everyone faces that.”

Kanna lay on her back, breathing a bit heavily. While stealing glances at her, I sip my sports drink. Kanna then gazed at me, seemingly desiring something.

“Wanna drink?”

“Huh?! N-No, you’re drinking it… But, I don’t really mind…”

“Hm? I brought two, so I asked if you wanted the remaining one.”

“You should’ve said that earlier… honestly.”

I chuckle and reach towards where there should be an extra sports drink and a towel.

“Huh? Not here?”

I was sure I brought two, including Kanna’s portion, but I couldn’t find the last one no matter how much I searched. I look around, curious.

Then, I noticed Tamaki-san, working up a sweat on the equipment, drinking the sports drink quite delightfully.

“Oh, Tamaki-san’s drinking it.”

“Is that so?”

“I’m beat. Vending machines are near the gym entrance. Well, I’ll go and get it.”

As I casually mention it, Kanna suddenly widens her eyes and stops me.

“Itsuki!”

“Hm?”

“Can I… drink yours?”

“W-Well… okay, but are you sure?”

Slightly flustered, I ask, and lying down, Kanna turns her face away and mutters softly.

“It’s not a big deal now, right?”

“Not a big deal now…”

Although Kanna is a high schooler with limited experience, I try to be considerate. But whenever I see such an attitude from her, I start to doubt the necessity of my consideration.

I offered my sports drink to Kanna.

After some hesitation, she drank from my sports drink.

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

“Aren’t you gonna exercise, Itsuki?”

“I’ll start now.”

Today was for working on chest and arm muscles, so I immediately began doing push-ups.

“Wow…”

I feel like Kanna mumbled something, but I was too focused on my push-ups to hear it clearly.

After finishing a set, I stand up, noticing several women sneak glances at me.

And somehow, Kanna, who was sitting, looked at my body with a heart-wrenching expression.

“Kanna? What’s wrong?”

“…”

Her expression seems to suppress something, but at the same time, there’s a sense of desperation.

As I try to prompt further with my gaze, it’s not Kanna who responds but the foolish voice of Tamaki-san, who had been exercising from afar.

“Itsuki~ help~'”

“‘Huh?'”

When I looked towards Tamaki-san, there was definitely a guy who seemed like he was hitting on her.

“‘Kanna, I’ll be right back.'”

“‘Y-Yeah. Please!'”

As I walked over to Tamaki-san, she immediately clung to my arm.

Due to sweating, every time Tamaki-san’s skin brushed against mine, there was a sticky sensation. And an exquisite softness. This sensation wasn’t new. I’ve experienced it countless times.

“Darn it… you’ve got a boyfriend?”

Annoyed, I glanced at the guy who was hitting on her. Tamaki-san looked at him with a smile, pressing her large chest against me even more.

In an attempt to prevent that guy from getting closer to Tamaki-san, I glared at him. Eventually, the guy hitting on her gave up and left the gym.

“Are you okay?”

“Yeah! I’m fine. Thank you.”

“If you’re thankful, could you let go of my arm soon?”

“Hmm~ Why?”

“People are staring.”

“I’m showing off.”

Tamaki-san clung to me even more. I sighed in exasperation. She seemed displeased with me and spoke in a mischievous tone.

“My, my? Even though we did more intense things before, you can’t handle me clinging to your arm? What a strange boy.”

Responding to her teasing tone, I replied in a resigned manner.

“This keeps strange guys away. Well, if it helps you feel comfortable, Tamaki-san.”

“Ugh!”

For a moment, she tensed up as if an electric shock passed through her body, then turned her face away from me and muttered.

“Seriously… that aspect of yours…”

The scent of Tamaki-san’s sweat tickled my nose. I’ve smelt it plenty even on the bed. Suddenly, I started to recall that scene, but Kanna interrupted my thoughts.

“You two are too close!”

Kanna looked anxious, glancing between me and Tamaki-san.

After a while of exercising, today’s workout ended. While standing absentmindedly near the gym’s entrance after taking a shower, Kanna, who had changed into her uniform, approached.

“Did I keep you waiting?”

“Nah. I just got here too.”

“Mom might take a little longer.”

“Oh? Well, then I’ll go. See you at school.”

With that, I attempted to walk away, but it seemed like Kanna had something to say as she grabbed my sleeve to stop me.

“Hm? What’s up?”

Kanna had a forlorn expression again, like a worried child afraid of losing something precious.

But eventually, she gathered her resolve and spoke seriously.

“You know a girl named Marin, right?.”

“Wha-!?”
