I Was Reincarnated as a Creepy Fat Guy, Then Trained Myself Without Sleep. And Then, for Some Reason, the Heroines Start Approaching Me - Chapter 52: Events of Yesterday

Tamaki’s Side

Yesterday

Today, she had to clean up the mess caused by the flashy blunder of a representative from our business partner.

“Kirishima-san, I sincerely apologize!”

“Kirishima-sama, we will definitely make up for this mistake. Please continue to work with our company…”

“For this matter, all responsibility lies with our company! We deeply apologize for troubling you, Kirishima-sama. We will provide additional compensation, so please forgive us…”

“Hmph…”

She, known as a renowned fashion designer in the industry, narrowed her eyes and looked down on the employees of the business partner.

Some important figures were also present.

“Well, everyone makes mistakes, so please don’t blame the representative too much.”

Trying to handle the situation with a mature response, Tamaki appeared calm. However, her face was twitching, and from the side, it might seem like she was angry.

The employees from the business partner, trembling, were cautiously gauging her mood.

One of the important figures, visibly nervous, asked, “Um, did you have any plans for today?”

Glancing at the sweating man, she maintained a calm facade, hiding her excitement.

“I was planning to receive various guidance from the gym trainer today… Well, don’t worry about it.”

(Inner thoughts of all employees: We’re worried!!!)

She turned on her heels, gracefully moving her well-shaped beautiful legs. The expressions of the employees gazing at her, with her captivating body and fashion sense, were noticeably dark.

She worked as a freelancer, receiving design requests from numerous apparel companies due to her genius design sense. Now, it’s at a level where even presidents have to bow their heads to work together. That’s the woman known as Tamaki Kirishima

Today, she had planned to relieve stress by exercising with a cute girl who wouldn’t hurt her eyes, but now, irritated, she couldn’t do that.

By this time, Kanna would probably be taking a bath.

Driving her car, she played music and recalled the words Kanna spoke this morning.

[Tomorrow, I’ll be doing a major cleaning, so Mom, find something to do to kill time.]

[I’ll help you, Mom!]

Giving a thumbs up, Tamaki shouted inwardly to become a helpful person for her daughter. However,

[You are bad at housework, so you’re in the way.]

[Ugh…]

She felt a slight pain in her heart due to her daughter’s straightforward words.

“Hmm… that means tomorrow, Kanna won’t come to the gym. In other words…”

Muttering to herself, she pressed the accelerator a bit harder, sensually licking her own lips.

Itsuki Kondo.

The man she allowed into her life.

She still couldn’t believe it.

Before meeting him, she was devoted to her work to make her daughter happy. Of course, she’s very beautiful, and wealthy men have endlessly tried to appeal to her.

But she turned them all down.

She lacked confidence.

If she entered a relationship with another man for momentary pleasure, would she still be a good mother for Kanna?

And if she remarried, would the new partner truly love Kanna?

Could she make Kanna happy without harboring any impure feelings?

She excels in artistic sense but has a very sensitive personality. That’s why she understands.

The lecherous gazes that men direct at her and Kanna when they walk together.

So, she spent her days trying to distract herself from loneliness alone. But as long as she looked at Kanna, everything was okay. Somehow, she could manage.

A crystallization of her love with her deceased husband.

That’s what she thought when she met him.

His lonely expression stimulated the hidden emotions in her chest. So she couldn’t help but approach him.

As if he read her mind, he invited her to dinner, and then they went to a love hotel, spending a very passionate time together.

He appeared like a beast at that moment, despite the lonely expression he had before. However, it was not rough; his movements carried a kindness that swept away her loneliness and frustrating emotions.

Everything changed after getting involved with him.

That she could change so much…

Gripping the steering wheel tighter, Tamaki headed towards the home where her adorable daughter lived, erasing her loneliness and filling her heart, thanks to Itsuki.

What kind of darkness does he carry?

Kanzaki Residence

“She’s not here!?”

Opening the front door, she looked inside where the lights were off, feeling bewildered. Normally, it had become a daily routine for her to call out “I’m home!” upon seeing the light spilling from the living room, but today, that wasn’t possible.

Kanna’s shoes were nowhere to be seen.

For a moment, she considered if her daughter had gone to a nearby convenience store, but Kanna usually disliked going out at night.

In other words,

“Something must have happened to Kanna”

Saying that, Tamaki eagerly checked her phone.

No messages from her daughter.

If there was any reason, her daughter would definitely contact her, but today was an exception.

Her legs began to tremble.

She immediately decided to call Kanna, trying to calm down her growing anxiety as she fiddled with her phone.

Then, she heard footsteps from behind.

“What are you doing leaving the door open?”

“!?”

Suddenly addressed, Tamaki tensed up, but upon recognizing the familiar voice, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Turning around and opening her mouth, she looked concerned.

“Kanna… where did you go? I was worried because you weren’t here.”

“I went to the gym to exercise and took a little detour. I’m sorry.”

“K-Kanna…”

“Hm? What’s wrong?”

She could only express her surprise.

It seemed like Kanna hadn’t been away for long after taking a shower, as the scents of shampoo and body soap lingered. In that fragrance, unmistakably, his pheromones were mixed in, stimulating her nostrils.

Undoubtedly.

The scent she had been exposed to by Itsuki, to the point of saturation, filled the entire entrance area.

“N-No, it’s nothing. So, did something good happen?”

“Something good?”

“Yeah. You seem to be grinning for some reason.”

“Eek! W-Well, that’s…”

Blushing suddenly, Kanna averted her gaze from her mother, causing Tamaki to feel bewildered. However, despite Kanna’s efforts to keep it hidden, she responded to her mother with an answer.

“N-Nothing, really…” 

But no matter how much she tried to cover it up, to deceive, it was in vain.

The mixed scent of Kanna and Itsuki’s pheromones emitted from her daughter’s face was indescribably alluring and enchanting.

If Kanna showed even a hint of sadness or regret, Tamaki would immediately inquire about the reason and work to resolve it. However, she couldn’t bring herself to ask.

Because Kanna wore an expression of immense happiness.

Seeing Kanna grinning so much was something Tamakii had never witnessed before.

As she stared in surprise and confusion, Kanna eagerly kicked off her shoes and hurriedly walked towards her room.

Left alone, Tamaki half-opened her mouth as she contemplated.

A formerly serious child now telling lies to her mother… Could it be that Kanna had also grown up?

The man who made Kanna an adult was Itsuki.

That guy made my daughter…

Height, handsome looks, an incredibly well-endowed physique, and a charming, slender macho figure.

Recalling the scene where she witnessed all of his wild movements, Tamaki suddenly writhed her upper body.

“!!!!!!”

To think such things about my own daughter…

She puffed up her cheeks and muttered under her breath.

“For a brat like him, I won’t forgive it… Itsuki… Hmph.”

Despite being a renowned designer, she was always cold towards others. However, it seemed that this was not the case with him.

The fear of not finding her daughter she initially felt had completely vanished now, leaving only the thought of how to discipline him.
