I Was Reincarnated as a Creepy Fat Guy, Then Trained Myself Without Sleep. And Then, for Some Reason, the Heroines Start Approaching Me - Chapter 58: Itsuki Apologizes

After receiving a mysterious phone call from Keisuke a few days ago, the three of us were having lunch and chatting at our usual spot.

“Your parents are on a trip abroad?”

“Yeah.”

“That’s sudden.”

“Well, it was a last-minute decision. So, starting today, I’ll be living on my own for about two months.”

“Starting today?! Seriously?”

Manabu expressed surprise.

As for Keisuke, he was quietly eating the lunch Kanon always made for him in his usual manner. It seemed like nothing terrible had happened to him.

“But living alone… sounds enviable. Having a whole house to yourself, you could do so many things,” Manabu said with an envious look.

“Oh, what kind of things specifically?” I asked, throwing a question to Manabu who had a look of admiration. After thinking for a moment, he opened his mouth to answer.

“Make our new place with Neneka-chan…”

“Shut up. Seriously, when are you going to graduate from 2D fantasies!”

“What are you talking about? Haven’t you, Master Itsuki, taught me about a new world step by step?”

“Why are you addressing me as ‘Master’ too…?”

“Huh? What do you mean? You talk as if you have other disciples?”

As Manabu gave me a glare, suddenly Keisuke interjected.

“Master Itsuki… sounds good… I’ll be a disciple too.”

“Even you!?”

While I was slightly bewildered by their reactions, eventually, I brought up something that caught my interest.

“By the way, have you guys made any female friends or something?”

“Huh?”

“What?”

The two sent me mocking looks, with expressions like, “What are you even talking about?”

I couldn’t back down.

“You guys have improved quite a bit, so I think it’s time to start making some.”

And with a confident expression, I said, lifting my chest. Manabu, with a look of horror, opened his mouth.

“No, no, no, no, no, no… I’ve grown to dislike real girls even more because of the Maririn incident. It’s an impossible game. Right, Keisuke?”

Acknowledging Manabu’s sentiment, Keisuke remained silent. So, with a tilted head, Manabu asked him.

“Keisuke?”

Seeking a response from Keisuke, Manabu tilted his head. However, Keisuke avoided eye contact slightly and muttered quietly.

“Manabu is a deceiver.”

“Huh?”

“Oh?”

Once again, puzzled by Keisuke’s cryptic words, Manabu and I stared at each other with confusion.

“Why am I a deceiver? I plan to remain a virgin for life! Newton is said to have been a virgin his whole life, right? I’m not leaving descendants; I’m contributing to humanity by making great discoveries!”

Excitedly declaring while catching his breath, Keisuke crossed his arms and closed his eyes.

As Manabu and I stared at Keisuke with interest, he finally opened his eyes and replied to Manabu.

“You’ll understand when you become number one in all subjects at school…”

I always thought Keisuke’s words were incomprehensible. However, ignoring them is also not an option.

Apart from this conversation, we made a promise to resume our training sessions on holidays, similar to summer vacation.

In other words,

The two wouldn’t come to my house today.

After-school in Itsuki’s class

“Hahaha! How muscular do you three plan to get? Well, I guess I’ll have to deal with three muscular guys…”

“Really! It’s troublesome that Kondo-san likes muscles.”

“No! Seriously, you should do muscle training! If Mikami and Tatsuzaki do it, you’ll definitely get hooked!”

As I started training again with Manabu and Keisuke, I said to three girls (Mikami, Tatsuzaki, and Kanna), Mikami and Tatsuzaki smiled and made jokes.

Kanna, watching their interaction, had a very cheerful expression. However, sometimes she tightly grasped her own skirt, blushed, and seemed a bit mysterious as she shyly looked away.

Many people seem to be conscious of our conversation.

This is because there were only two mixed-gender groups in this class: our group and Hayama’s group.

They (Hayama, Masato, and Gorilla) and they (the three gals) seem to be listening to our conversation while having trivial talks.

I’m curious about Kanna.

She acts calm, but she can’t hide the scent of pheromones starting to waft.

The more I talk with Mikami and Tatsuzaki, the more potent the smell becomes. Before I knew it, Kanna was absentmindedly staring at me, blushing.

Sensing something suspicious, Hayama suddenly approached from the opposite side.

“Kanna!”

Surprised by his sudden arrival, Mikamiand Tatsuzaki glared at him and distanced themselves. However, Kanna continued to gaze at me as usual.

Hayama, with an anxious expression, called her name again.

“Hey, Kanna!”

“Huh?”

“Hey, let’s go home together. I’m free today, and I’ll treat you to something delicious.”

Hayama showed a submissive smile, but every time he glanced at me, he radiated hostility.

Seeing him like that, Kanna turned pale and coldly retorted, “I’m busy today for various reasons.”

“What are you doing?”

“Various things.”

“So, what…”

“Shota, you’re persistent.”

“…”

“Apologize to Itsuki before talking to me.”

Said by Kanna, Keisuke, looking at my face as if provoked, became furious.

“Why should I apologize to this idiot!?”

With tremendous force, Hayama slammed my desk with a loud bang, shouting loudly, instantly becoming the center of attention.

Kanna, Misaki, and Tatsuzaki were so surprised that they almost stumbled.

Fortunately, no one got hurt, but it was a close call.

This needs to be addressed.

“Hey, Kanna and the others are in danger!”

Of course, he didn’t pay any attention.

“Don’t interfere with me and Kanna!!”

Although I mentioned Kanna and the others, it seems that the only keyword in this guy’s head was Kanna. While I was astonished, Shota continued.

“You, you’re bothering Kanna too much. It’s so irritating to watch. If you get cocky, I’ll seriously kill you!”

Threatening me, Hayama. Kanna tried to stop him, but I shook my head to prevent it.

Then, in a calm voice, I spoke.

“Sorry. You’re right. Our seats are next to each other, so it might have seemed like I was getting too close. I’ll be more careful from now on.”

I bowed politely to him.

The yet-to-leave boys and girls, including Kanna, opened their mouths in surprise.

Perhaps feeling a sense of superiority after my apology, Hayama looked down on me and laughed.

“Hahaha! As expected, you were much brighter in life when you used to say things like ‘I’m sorry’ or ‘Please forgive me’ or ‘Please don’t hit me anymore.’ So be careful from now on. You jerk!”

In a good mood, Hayama returned to his original place with light steps.

I watched his figure and raised the corners of my mouth. Then I said,

“Sorry. I’ll reflect on it. It’s all my fault that it came to this.”

Saying that, I looked towards Kanna,

With flushed cheeks, she, like me, had the corners of her mouth lifted.

After leaving school and returning home immediately, I prepared various things in my quiet room where no one was around.

Although it’s so quiet that you could hear the crickets chirping, my heart is filled with hope.

Because,

(The sound of the front door chime)

I won’t be alone anymore.

I left my room and headed to the entrance, opening the door.

There,

“…Itsuki.”

“Kanna.”

My girlfriend in a school uniform looked at me with blue eyes, seeming embarrassed, tightly gripping her skirt.

Soft black hair, a white nape, a small face, two growing marshmallows approaching the size of her mother’s, a well-shaped and ivory-colored pair of legs, and slightly blushing cheeks.

I Invited her, Such a girl, into my empty house.
