I Was Reincarnated as a Creepy Fat Guy, Then Trained Myself Without Sleep. And Then, for Some Reason, the Heroines Start Approaching Me - Chapter 93: Return

Monday

Itsuki’s Class

The surprise party for Itsuki ended successfully. Itsuki’s parents treated Kanna, who had become their son’s girlfriend, as if she were their own daughter, and they had various conversations with Kanna.

And time passed, leading to Monday.

The class, with Itsuki still under home suspension, was more restless than usual.

In the morning before the bell rang, the elites, mainly led by Shota, who ruled the caste hierarchy, chatted away as if nothing happened. However, Shota’s figure was nowhere to be seen today.

The events of yesterday were too shocking, and the panic continued, ultimately preventing him from attending school.

Others…

“…..”

Masato, a member of the baseball club who sighed after rejecting Shota’s invitation to expose Itsuki’s personal information for further bullying, was relieved.

“…..”

And the three gyaru girls who were usually seen with Shota were unusually quiet today.

However…

“Damn….. damn…..”

A muscular gorilla, trembling, lay his body on the desk.

He had cooperated with Shota, but Shota received excessive criticism, and despite all of his personal information and photos being identified, he didn’t face as much criticism.

Yet, feeling the gazes of the class as if they were looking at trash, the gorilla muttered quietly.

“It’s not my fault….. It’s not my fault…..”

After a while, a teacher, not the homeroom teacher, entered the room.

“Hey, Gorilla! Come to the staff room right now!”

The teacher shouted loudly, and the gorilla, with a pale face, shouted back.

“Damn it! It’s not my fault! It’s all Shota’s fault!”

Cutting off his words, the gorilla took a deep breath.

“I… I was just used by him!!!!!!!”

Saying that, the gorilla stood up as if terrified and fled.

“Hey! Gorilla! Where are you going!? Catch him quickly!”

The teacher, perplexed by the sudden escape of the gorilla, followed him. Several male classmates also started running to catch the gorilla.

The gyaru girls associated with Shota casually took out their textbooks and pretended to be studying.

Kanna, Arisa, and Yumi, who were together, sighed in relief, looking at each other and smiling.

“With this, maybe the class atmosphere will improve a bit.”

In response to Arisa, who was a fujoshi, Yumi replied, “Yes. We’ve been hearing weird stories so far, so maybe we can focus on studying now.”

As Kanna lifted her bangs and looked at Yumi, Yumi sent her gaze to Itsuki’s empty seat.

In a few days, Itsuki would come back here.

But she wanted to see him right away.

She could meet him after school, but the times spent here, exchanging funny stories, felt so nostalgic. It added further excitement to Kanna’s already ample chest.

To soothe this excitement were the soft hands of Yūsa and Yumi, layered over each other.

Feeling this warmth, Kanna, back to her senses, murmured softly.

“By the way, Mom… is off today…”

Principal’s Office

After arriving at school, Manabu was called to the principal’s office, where several important figures of the school were lined up, glaring at him.

“Hosokawa-kun! What on earth is this about?!”

The principal, with a shiny bald head, shouted angrily. It seemed like his anger was not subsiding, and he continued.

“I am a generous person, so I’ll give you a chance, Manabu-kun! Say that all the interview content you gave earlier was a lie! If you do that, I’ll write you a letter of recommendation for a prestigious university. Including the Okayama-sensei incident!! Including the Okayama-sensei incident!”

The principal, with a sheen of cold sweat, proposed a deal to Manabu. The other important figures around them smirked, watching Manabu.

In response, Manabu smiled and replied, “Concealing the truth is not a good idea.”

While his tone might have seemed somewhat impolite, his hand was casually in his pocket.

In that pocket was a high-performance recording device.

Okayama’s Residence

“Haa… Aah… My life… it’s over…”

Collapsed in his room, unable to go to work, Okayama-sensei stared at the table filled with a substantial amount of sleeping pills.

“Damn it…”

Okayama grimaced, remembering a certain day.

[Do you know the word ‘cover-up’?]

[It’s a word that frequently appears in the news lately. Deliberately concealing wrongdoing is a bad thing. A teacher from the same school who covered up his own mistakes, fearing the consequences, recently faced disciplinary action. So, don’t engage in cover-ups.]

These were the words he had spoken to his class not long ago.

“Aah, aaah! I can’t hear it!!!!!”

Blocking both ears and writhing in agony, Okayama screamed.

“Disappear! Disappear! I’ll make you all disappear!!!”

Shouting, he seemed to have an idea, and with a villainous expression, he curled up the corners of his mouth.

“It’s unfair for only me to be sacrificed… then, I’ll take everyone down with me!! You damn bastards!! Aaaahhh!!!”

Okayama took out his phone and opened an album.

There, pictures of influential people from his current school engaging with high school girls were displayed.

Opening a social media app, Okayama started typing.

Itsuki’s Side

Kanzaki Residence

Humans aren’t creatures that change easily.

So, I never expected Hayama to reflect on his actions and come to me with an apology.

I’m no different.

Invited by Tamaki-san, I came to the Kanzaki residence. After enjoying a delicious meal, I sat down with her for tea.

“Oh my! Itsuki, take a look at this!”

“Hmm?”

Tamaki-san widened her eyes and handed me her phone.

“Wha! What is this!? Okayama-sensei!?”

A picture showing a person of importance at my school and a high school girl engaging in obscene behavior has been uploaded without a mosaic.

In addition to the photo, there are several posts. Summarizing them, it is stated that I am Okayama, the teacher in charge of the class to which Hayama and I belong. I was blackmailed by Shota Hayama and others, leading to the cover-up of this incident. Furthermore, I collaborated with influential people in the school to engage in enjo-kosai. I possess many compromising photos of important figures in the school, and these influential people actively cooperated with me.

(T/N: Enjo kosai meaning Schoolgirl prostitution)

And, I, who disclosed this information to the public, am innocent of any wrongdoing.

“I’m truly amazed. Saying you’re not at fault,” Tamaki-san said, narrowing her eyes.

“Well, isn’t this normal?” I casually replied, and Tamaki-san sighed as if exasperated.

“When you make a mistake, it’s normal to repent and atone for your sins, right?”

“Such things are typical patterns found in manga, anime, novels, and the like. In reality, there’s nothing like that.”

“You’re quite twisted. Well, I understand what you’re trying to say, though.”

“…”

“And then, as I silently drank my tea, Tamaki-san smiled warmly and said in a gentle tone.”

“But you know, there are exceptions in everything.”

“Huh?”

“More importantly, won’t you do it?”

“…”

Tamaki-san, tempting me by pressing her ample chest against my arm.

I stroked her head and replied.

“When Kanna comes back, let’s think about it.”

Of course, it had been a long time, and the situation might permit engaging with her right now. However, thinking about Kanna, who had worked hard for my sake, I felt it was something to endure.

Tamaki-san pouted like a sulking child for a moment, but eventually, she relaxed her cheeks and spoke in a motherly tone.

“You’ve changed, Itsuki.”

“Changed? How so?”

“Yeah. Your cheekiness hasn’t changed at all, but you don’t have that lonely look anymore. Fufu.”

Tamaki-san’s satisfied smile and her blue eyes were clear and transparent, extending infinitely.

“You’re the same, Tamaki-san,” I said, and she leaned in closer, opening her mouth.

“You mentioned, Itsuki, that after high school, you’d start a personal gym.”

“T-Tamaki-san!, you’re too close!”

“Fufu, let’s talk plenty until Kanna comes back.”

“…”

Tamaki-san and me, in this close position, discussed future plans.

And before we knew it, Kanna had returned from school.

“I’m back!”

Tamaki-san and I quickly headed to the entrance to see Kanna’s face.

“Mom… Itsuki…”

“Welcome back, Kanna. Mom was waiting for you.”

“Yeah. I was waiting with her.”

Kanna looked at us with moist eyes, seemingly moved.

She’s really perceptive.

It’s helpful in times like these.

After sighing with relief, we sought each other out as if planned.

A few days later

In front of the school

“Damn… they really came…”

The area in front of the main gate was crowded with an incredible number of reporters, and police cars were visible everywhere.

“Ah! It’s Itsuki Kondo!”

“Kondo-kun! Would you mind an interview?”

“What the heck is this!”

The reporters approached me with tremendous force.

So, I hurriedly escaped and passed through the main gate.

There, a handsome guy with blue hair was standing.

Was there such a good-looking guy at my school?

Thinking that, he greeted me with a triumphant look.

“Itsuki Kondo ! It’s a beautiful morning!”

“Oh, uh, who are you?”

“What!”

Seeing my reaction, he squatted down with a crying face.

“I got ignored by Itsuki-kun… I’ll grow my hair long again…”

Feeling sorry for him, I apologized.

“N-no. Sorry, it’s Keisuke, right? I was just teasing you a bit.”

“I-I see…”

“Oh, by the way, why didn’t you come yesterday? Still busy with novel work?”

“No, it’s not that.”

“Then why?”

In response to my question, Keisuke suddenly grabbed my hand. Then,

“Cleanup is important!”

“Cleanup?”

“There was a pitiful person! It’s important not to incur resentment!”

“Pitiful person?”

“Avoiding making enemies is crucial!”

“…Keisuke, what on earth are you talking about?”

“It’s okay! It won’t be like the old times anymore!”

“…Um, Keisuke?”

“Then! I’m off!”

Saying that, Keisuke quickly headed to his own class.

As usual, I have no idea what he’s talking about.

But surely, he’s carrying many difficult problems that I can’t understand.

So, for now, I can only believe in him and support him.

Thinking that, someone tapped me on the back from behind.

“Kanna…”

“Itsuki, what are you spacing out for?”

“Oh, uh, it’s nothing.”

“Let’s go.”

“Yeah.”

Kanna walked with me, clinging to my side.

It seems she no longer intends to hide.

Returning to school after three weeks.

I wonder what awaits me.

In the classroom

“Sorry, Kondo!”

“Kondo-san, I’m sorry!”

“Kondo, please forgive us!”

“Kondo-kun…”

“Kondo…”

…

“Hmm?”

As soon as I entered the class, everyone came to my seat and bowed their heads.
