I Was Reincarnated as a Creepy Fat Guy, Then Trained Myself Without Sleep. And Then, for Some Reason, the Heroines Start Approaching Me - Chapter 47: Kanna's Confession

After the discussion about Itsuki, the four of them continued chatting about various topics, enjoying each other’s company. Surprisingly, they found that they got along well and decided to meet up again as a group.

Itsuki’s Side

With Kanna, we walked to the station in silence. Her hand, gripping my arm, didn’t let go until we reached the station.

When we arrived at the station, Kanna finally released her hold on me.

“Itsuki.”

“Yeah?”

“Today, you’ll teach me various things at the gym, okay?”

“Sure! I’ll show you plenty of exercises to get Kanna’s body in great shape.”

I replied in my usual tone. I couldn’t afford to be flustered all the time. I am who I am.

Kanna nodded approvingly, humming and waving as she headed towards her side of the ticket gate.

Nighttime

Gym

After leaving my bag at home and having an early dinner prepared by my mom, I headed to the gym. There, I found Kanna waiting for me in front of the entrance, wearing light pink leggings, sports shorts, a half-top, and a sports cardigan.

From a distance, she looked like a beautiful woman with a great figure. As if attracted to a delicious flower, a muscle-brained guy approached her. She dealt with him nonchalantly and looked around. When our eyes met, she snickered at the guy next to her and approached me.

“Itsuki!”

“Kanna… you’re here pretty early.”

We exchanged a few words while there was still about 20 minutes until our agreed meeting time. Kanna had arrived even earlier than I did.

“Yeah, I just got here.”

“That’s right.”

“Shall we go inside?”

“Yeah.”

Maybe it was just my imagination, but Kanna’s face seemed more mature than usual.

I diligently taught Kanna how to train her body. I pushed her thighs and abs to their limits, reminiscent of my pre-reincarnation self.

After that, we both focused on our workouts, putting aside any distracting thoughts.

Strangely, as time passed, I felt Kanna’s gaze directed at me. I tried not to let it bother me and concentrated on my exercises, but every time our eyes met, she had the same expression as when we first met.

After finishing our exercises and taking a shower, I waited for Kanna at the gym’s entrance. She arrived in her casual clothes, and I voiced what had been on my mind.

“Your mom didn’t come today.”

“Yeah, she’s busy with work.”

“I see.”

We started walking naturally.

“Hey, Itsuki.”

“Hm?”

“Can we take a little detour?”

And so, we walked through the shopping district and residential area instead of heading to the station.

The road was now dimly lit by moonlight and street lamps. It was quiet, with only a few salarymen who seemed to have been released from overtime work.

Sometimes, our trained arms accidentally brushed against each other as we walked, but I kept my gaze forward. Soon, a small park came into view.

We exchanged glances and headed towards a bench near the children’s playground, as if we had planned it.

“What’s on your mind?” I asked, probing.

She seemed frustrated, moving her well-shaped bare legs restlessly and sighing seductively before speaking seriously.

“I feel like I’m still a child.”

“A child?”

“I’ve been with Shota for so long that I haven’t had serious conversations with other guys.”

Silence.

That guy again.

I sighed, directing my gaze towards the moon.

“But I’m really angry with Shota. Well, I’ve given up.”

“Given up?”

“If he wasn’t my childhood friend, maybe I would have had a better life.”

“A better life…”

“I wanted to convey my feelings to someone of the opposite sex, have a boyfriend who would protect me,… fall in love,… and….live a fulfilling life.”

“Well, that’s normal.”

Nonchalantly, I remarked, and Kanna suddenly trembled in her voice, continuing.

“But… I couldn’t experience that normalcy at all. I believed everything Shota said, kept my heart’s door closed, and couldn’t even convey my feelings when you….kissed me. I hypnotized myself, waiting for a day when things would be okay, just because I thought you would be fine. So, it’s all my fault…… I’m immature, still a child. I knew that someone like you wouldn’t be left alone by other girls, but maybe I was a bit spoiled, thinking about your past appearance. I want to curse my…. past self.”

Her blue eyes were already bloodshot, and she stared at me with a poignant look. I couldn’t hold back my true feelings.

“No, Kanna, it’s not your fault!”

However, she threw words that approached the root of the problem at me.

“No. It’s my fault… because you and Marin had sex right?”

“…”

She knew after all.

No matter how much adult composure I had as a skill, I couldn’t deceive Kanna, who was saddened. I averted my gaze, but Kanna buried my hand in her huge marshmallow. The exquisite touch tortured my heart.

“Kanna!?”

“Just tell me one thing…”

“What is it…”

“Do you really like Marin?”

“…”

The fragrance from her post-shower self wafted through the gentle breeze, tickling my nose. Her face, illuminated by the LED lights in the park, looked ethereal in the dim surroundings.

In a shirt and shorts, a modest outfit, she was beautiful. I couldn’t escape the lingering gaze and the vivid blue eyes reflecting my figure.

So, I decided to speak my true feelings.
