I Was Reincarnated as a Creepy Fat Guy, Then Trained Myself Without Sleep. And Then, for Some Reason, the Heroines Start Approaching Me - Chapter 76: The Last Memory

Friday arrived, and time passed quickly. Today was the date with Marin, and Kanna’s mother was away on a business trip, making it a convenient day.

Kanna herself has plans to hang out with Mikamu and Tatsuzaki, which works out perfectly timing-wise. My girlfriend was incredibly perceptive, so any clumsy excuses would be instantly noticed by her.

Expressing farewells to Keisuke, Manabu, and others, I made my way to Marin’s school.

On the train, I reflected on my reflection in the window and reminded myself to stay vigilant. I need to avoid being drawn into Marin’s pace. I repeat, Marin was Hayama’s sister.

Moreover,

[Marin is dangerous. Be careful.]

The words Keisuke warned me about during a previous phone call lingered strangely in my mind. Even though I consider myself an adult, I couldn’t help feeling that I shouldn’t underestimate the situation.

However, being overly cautious might make Marin suspicious. Amid conflicting thoughts, I arrived at the station near Marin’s school and headed to the meeting place.

Marin, who had been waiting near the entrance of the shopping street, waved her hand.

“Itsuki-chi! Over here!”

“Yeah, sorry for making you wait.”

“No worries! I just got here a moment ago!”

It didn’t take long to spot Marin. It was no surprise. She was quite a beauty, making her stand out even in a crowd.

Men passing by couldn’t help but glance at her. With long blonde hair, a petite face, and a bust size that, while not as impressive as Kanna’s, was disproportionate for a high schooler. Her slender, lightly tanned legs added to the allure.

For those who didn’t know her personality, most guys would likely fall for Marin’s beauty at first sight.

Navigating through men contemplating whether to approach her, I reached Marin’s side.

Suddenly, she hugged my arm.

“Marin!?”

“Itsuki-chi’s arms always feel amazing no matter when I touch them! Ahaha!”

“No, this is a bit awkward.”

Perplexed by Marin rubbing her chest against my arm, I tried to regain composure. Marin, with a smile, spoke to calm me down.

“Since it’s the last time, it’s okay, right?”

“… The last time?”

“Yeah… the end and a new beginning.”

Those words resonated deeply within me.

Ideally, I wish Marin could forget about someone like me and find a man who would love her even more.

I can wish for Marin’s happiness, but that guy, Hayama, can go to hell.

Muttering this silently in my mind, Marin pulled my arm, leading us further into the shopping street.

Despite being the last date, there was no special event. It was a picture-perfect date.

We exchanged laughter at a dessert shop, enjoyed delicious treats, sang our hearts out at karaoke, and engaged in light conversation. Marin seemed to be having a great time, dragging me around and thoroughly enjoying our last date.

It was a very typical attitude for her, but at the same time, the scene felt awkward.

Is this really enough for our last time together?

Before we knew it, it was already nighttime.

We strolled through the lively nightlife district.

Kanna sent me pictures with Mikami and Tatsuzaki. Of course, I replied without any hesitation, avoiding the risk of suspicion.

It’s about time to bid farewell.

So, intentionally rubbing my arm against hers as we walked in sync, I spoke to Marin.

“Marin.”

“Hmm?”

“Did you enjoy it?”

“Yeah, I did. How about you, Itsuki-chi?”

Asking with her arms crossed behind, emphasizing the two marshmallows, Marin looked at me.

“I had a good time too.”

Giving a safe response, I looked into Marin’s emerald eyes.

Then, whether she intuitively felt that the date was about to end or remembered something sad, she wore a melancholic expression as she spoke.

“However, you know… I still feel a bit unsatisfied.”

“Is there something you want to do?”

“…”

In response to my question, Marin, with a poignant expression, modestly pinched the hem of my clothes and looked up at me with upturned eyes.

“!”

Under the LED lighting, Marin looked incredibly beautiful yet fragile.

Why can she make such an expression?

No matter how talented an actress is, I don’t think they can capture the reality conveyed by this expression.

Marin was that desperate.

So, without rejecting Marin who was pulling my arm, we walked silently for a few minutes.

And then, Marin stopped in front of a love hotel.

“Marin, this place is a bit…”

Interrupting my resistance, Marin once again spoke with upturned eyes.

“Just for once, I want you to love me… that’s all… so.”
