I Was Reincarnated as a Creepy Fat Guy, Then Trained Myself Without Sleep. And Then, for Some Reason, the Heroines Start Approaching Me - Chapter 90: Did You Think There Was Only One Creepy Fat Guy?

Late Night

Even though it’s almost Sunday, there’s no sign of the heat cooling down on social media.

The combination of Kanon and Keisuke’s overwhelming popularity, along with the footage and photos posted by Nishikawa, and the appearance of Manabu on television, synergistically created a remarkable effect.

Initially, social media users were only unilaterally criticizing Shota, the one who bullied the three. However, as time passed, there was a shift towards trying to identify the personal information of the perpetrator.

Some posts even read like this:

{I go to ○○ School. The three who were bullied are not currently as overweight or ugly as the circulating photos suggest. They’ve all become quite attractive. Also, the photo Kanon-chan posted is undoubtedly Itsuki. It’s the same Itsuki that Keinon-sensei mentioned.}

Some statements were straightforward, sticking to the facts:

{There might be a mistake due to the mosaic, but could the person bullying them be someone who graduated from LL Middle School? The way they talk is exactly the same, and that person used to bully others a lot in middle school too.}

Others delved into Shota’s past(?):

{Shota Hayama, a troublesome delinquent in the 2nd year, Class ○ at ◯○ High School. Seriously, just die. No, it would be inconvenient if you died too easily. I want you to suffer more. So, I’ll tell you his address. It’s not a lie. Tokyo…}

Some individuals were openly sharing his personal information…

Who could be the one revealing Shota’s personal information?

One thing is for sure,

Shota seems to have earned resentment from various people.

In the story of a Certain Overweight Guy

Sunday

Construction Site

The morning after the uproar.

A man in his thirties, resembling Kondo before he started dieting, is sweating while working at a construction site.

However, it seems that his work is not satisfactory, as the site supervisor shouts at him.

“Move faster! You’re so clumsy!”

“…”

“Can’t you hear me? If not, don’t bother coming starting tomorrow! Today’s your last day!”

“…”

The man, scolded by the site supervisor, bites his lip and continues working at his usual pace.

Clearly dissatisfied, the site supervisor frowns and glares at the man’s back.

Lunchtime arrives.

The overweight man takes out three convenience store bento meals and starts eating alone.

After devouring them at an incredible speed, he takes out his phone and opens a social media app.

“Shota Hayama…”

There, Shota’s photo circulated without mosaic, accompanied by personal information.

{I was punched by that Hayama bastard in middle school!}

{Me too! Seriously, he’s such a damn delinquent. He hasn’t changed even in high school.}

{That Hayama guy was so jealous of the handsome Kondo and others. Seriously pathetic. That’s why he gets punched. He’s worse at fighting than Kondo, lol.}

{Amazing. Can people change so much through exercise and dieting?}

{Even recognized as master by the voice actress Kanon-cha…. This guy Itsuki is seriously amazing….. I should start working out too.}

Various comments catch the attention of the overweight man in his thirties.

There were also posts seemingly from students of the school Itsuki attends explaining the current uproar.

The internet space was so heated that it seems like everyone knew the names Kondo and Hayama by now.

The overweight man saw a side by side photo of Itsuki that Kanon posted and the photo from the time when he was a chubby guy, which Shota posted.

Looking at it, the overweight man murmurs with frustration, “I too… was supposed to become handsome like Kondo and spend a radiant youth…”

He clenches his fist, letting anger build up.

“In my high school days, a scum like Hayama disturbed me a lot… bullied me, and in the end, I graduated as a chubby guy…”

The man’s eyes gradually change color, and he continues.

“As long as guys like him exist… As long as guys like this Hayama exist!! I couldn’t become handsome!! That’s why it’s no good… As long as this scum like Hayama exists, society will only get worse! It becomes a disease! That’s why… That’s why…”

The overweight man mutters as if he’s under some kind of hypnosis.

“So, I have to kill this guy named Hayama and make the world a better place… Yes. This is justice. If I brutally kill this guy, the bastards who have been bullying others might live in fear of being killed themselves… Uhuhuhu…”

He says with a disgusting smile.

And then, naturally, his eyes catch a certain post.

{Shota Hayama, second-year Class ○, ◯○ High School, an unbearable delinquent. Seriously, just die. No, I wouldn’t want you to die easily. I want you to suffer more. So, I’ll tell you his address. It’s not a lie. Tokyo…}

“Fufu… That’s right. I wouldn’t want him to die easily.” 

Construction site personnel look at him with disgust from a distance.

Next to the overweight man, three empty lunch containers are placed.

Marin’s side

At the Maid Cafe on a Sunday, despite being a day off, Marin is diligently working. Sundays had more customers, which means more reservations and higher wages.

“So, Kenji-chi, you failed in your confession…”

“Yeah… well, it can’t be helped.”

“I’ll listen to you a lot instead of that girl! Come more often!”

“Thanks.”

Marin, dressed as a maid, tries to manipulate Kenji with sweet words. However, Kenji’s expression is surprisingly bright.

Perceiving this, Marin, in her maid outfit, cutely tilts her head and asks, “Kenji, isn’t your expression unusually bright? Is everything okay?”

“Ah, sorry. It’s frustrating to be rejected, but Fantasia’s new volume is coming out, so I’m a bit happy.”

“Oh, right. Everyone is absorbed in that topic today.”

“Yeah, it really clears my mood.”

“Is it that satisfying just because a book is coming out?”

Marin says with a slight smile.

Then, Kenji grins and says, “No, it’s not just that. The story of Kondo Itsuki and Hayama Shota is just too interesting!”

“Huh? What about them now?”

“The story of Kondo Itsuki and Hayama Shota.”

“…”

“What’s wrong, Marin?”

“Kondo Itsuki and Hayama Shota!? What about them!?”

Marin’s voice echoed, and everyone in the Maid Cafe sent their gazes her way.

“Are you okay?”

Worried, Kenji asked, but Marin, wide-eyed, questions him.

“What happened to those two?”

“Oh, you don’t know yet. Well, it might be faster to see it directly than to have me explain.”

Saying so, Kenji takes out his phone and taps it a few times before handing it to Marin.

Taking the phone, Marin looks at the screen.

And then, after a while…

“!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Marin’s legs give out, and she falls to the floor.

“M-Maririn?”

Surprised, Kenji looks at her.

Sitting on the floor, Marin forgets to hide her underwear, trembling violently.

Concerned, the people around her help Marin stand up and lead her to the break room.

Left alone, Kenji muttered in amazement, “She took my phone.”

The Hayama Residence

In Hayama’s Room

“Damn it! There’s a scar on my face… Should I ask Okayama-sensei to get Kondo expelled?”

Around 5:00 PM.

Shota continued to badmouth Itsuki as usual.

Suddenly, the sound of the front door being opened was heard, indicating that someone was busy entering.

It’s probably his little sister, judging by the footsteps.

“What’s up with her? She’s earlier than usual,” mutters Shota.

The footsteps of Marin gradually get louder, and eventually, she swings open the door to Shota’s room.

“Wha—Marin!?”

“Big brother…”

“What’s the rush?”

“Did you check SNS?”

“SNS?”

“Yeah.”

“What are you talking about?”

Judging by her older brother’s attitude, Marin realizes that he hasn’t grasped the situation at all.

Seeing this, with a cold gaze, Marin opens her mouth.

“Big brother, you’ve become quite famous.”

“Me? A celebrity?”

“Open the app quickly and search for your name.”

“Huh?”

“Do it now!”

“What the hell!”

Confused by Marin’s sudden outburst, Shota opened the SNS app and searched for his name.

Countless posts appeared.

“W-What is this…”

It didn’t take Shota long to understand his situation.

“Oh, no…”

As time passed, Shota’s body began to tremble.

Eventually, even his hands holding the phone shake, making the screen unreadable.

“W-Who would… expose me like this… Ah… Ahhh…”

Marin’s patience wore thin seeing her brother’s attitude.

“It doesn’t matter who did it! Big brother, you were bullying Itsuki-chi and the others… in the worst way!”

“N-No… I just…”

Ignoring her brother’s denial, Marin picked up her own smartphone, displaying the photos and videos that Nishikawa uploaded, pointing at them.

“What’s there to deny?! There are pictures and videos here! Even with the mosaic, isn’t this 100% you? With the old chubby Itsuki-chi and Manabu-chi… They used to come happily to the maid cafe where I work… while you were doing such terrible things behind the scenes…”

In casual clothes, Marin, with tears in her eyes, glared at Shota.

“N-No… It’s different… I was just… playing around…”

“What part of this is playing around?! You’re clearly bullying them! And according to the news interview with Manabu-chi, you’re threatening the teacher to frame Itsuki-chi alone. Is that true?”

“N-No!”

“Really?”

“I-I’m telling the truth…”

“Your lying face… How many years do you think I’ve been watching you?”

Marin, visibly upset, breathes heavily.

As for Shota, he widened his eyes, trembled, and looked at the screen of his phone.

“This… I’ll report this…”

Again, he shouted angrily.

“I hate violence, but…”

Taking a deep breath,

“You were meant to be beaten up by Itsuki-chi!!!”

“Shut up!!! Damn it!!!”

Unable to maintain composure while hearing Marin’s cry, Shota threw his phone at his sister.

“Kyaa!”

Fortunately, Marin’s ample chest cushioned the impact, reducing physical damage. However, the emotional toll was evident.

“Brother, you threw your phone at me?”

Confused by the sudden act, Marin, sitting on the bed, looked at Shota, who had an ugly expression and shouted at the top of his lungs.

“I am a victim!!!”

“Big brother… so that’s the kind of person you are.”

Speechless, Marin stood still, her mouth wide open, staring at her brother.

“I’m the victim… Kondo and those guys are the perpetrators… haha… no doubt. I’m not at fault… it’s all their fault… I’ll crush them… damn it! I’ll crush them!”

As he muttered, the voice of his enraged older brother reached Marin’s ears, and she felt something snap in her mind.

“…”

Maintaining silence, Marin stared at her brother, who continued to curse and express his intent to crush Kondo and the others.

Then,

Someone knocked on the front door.

Their parents were coming home late today.

Moreover, they had keys to the house, so there was no need for a knock.

Suspicious of the gradually increasing knocking sound, the two wondered.

“W-What… delivery person?”

Said Marin, but there was no need for a knock since they had a delivery box.

If not that, who could it be?

As they pondered, the knocking sound grew louder, accompanied by an excited voice.

“Shota Hayama! Come out! It’s judgment time!”

The person outside began to pound on the front door as if consumed by anger.
