So You’re Telling Me I’m in My Popular Phase!? - Chapter 1: Prologue: An Unexpected Heaven World!?

Chapter 1: Prologue: An Unexpected Heaven World!?

Right now, I’m surrounded by a ton of girls.

“Hey, Ichikami-kun. Ichikami Ryu-kun.”

“Um, Ichikami-san… if you’d like, then, uh…”

“Ah! Ryu-kun, wanna eat lunch together?”

Ohhh—invites from all sorts of girls around me…!

Yes! My popular phase has finally come. Is this heaven or what?

“It’s okay. I don’t belong to anyone, so let’s all get along and eat together.”

Ugh… now that I’ve said it out loud, that was embarrassing as hell.

But—whatever! It’s fine! After all, it’s my popular phase! Look—everyone’s eyes are sparkling.

“Yes!”

“As expected of Ichikami-san. You’re so cool!”

“Hehe…”

“What are you saying? Creepy.”

Yeah, yeah. …Huh? I feel like something weird got mixed in at the end there…?

No, but when I look around, nobody seems like they said anything like that…

W-well, whatever. It’s my popular phase, after all… yeah.

“Alright, let’s hurry up and eat lunch.”

This doesn’t match my usual vibe at all, but I’m not gonna worry about it.

“Yay, I’m so happy we’re eating together!”

“Yes!”

“I made you a bento, so eat it.”

“Yeah, sure. Let’s hurry up and eat. Breakfast.”

So who the hell was that last one?!

Who’s the bastard trying to ruin the harem I wished for so badly—even if it’s just a dream?

If you wanna do this, then come at me already!

“Just get up already, Onii-chan!”

The instant I heard that voice, the scenery around me got swallowed by light.

Then, I slowly closed my eyes… and slowly opened them.
