The Story Where I, the Strongest Mercenary, Was Reincarnated as a Bullied Introverted High School Student ~ When I Was Freely Enjoying My School Life, for Some Reason the Girls Around Me Started Glancing at Me~ - Chapter 36&37

Chapter 36: Getting Revenge

Hearing about Char’s relationship with me, piled up like a deluxe parfait, I almost got heartburn from listening.

“Hey, Char. Cut it out already.”

Saying that, I peeled Char’s intertwined fingers away from my hand. Then I chopped the forehead of Char, who was making a smug expression.

“Aïe! (Ouch!)”

Char cried out in French without thinking. I understood her purpose of thoroughly preventing being hit on, but what if Char really fell in love with someone in the future? This lie would end up strangling Char. Just pretending to be “dating” would be enough without such fabrication.

“Didn’t I say Char just came to Japan recently? We only started dating a few days ago, and that was the first time we held hands. Don’t put on weird airs.”

“What~ It’s fine!”

Char glared at me with half-lidded eyes while dramatically rubbing her forehead. The male students, who were clearly relieved after hearing my story, breathed deeply.

“O-oh… they just started dating.”

“You scared us~”

“Is Char-chan maybe actually a pretty funny girl?”

“If it’s that short, it still feels like a ‘trial period’, right?”

Char, who seemed annoyed at being told that, raised her voice.

“It’s not a short relationship! Jinta and I have been together since… our past lives!”

When she said that, the students around us burst into laughter. This was actually the truth, but naturally no one would believe it.

“Besides, she’s neither gloomy nor ugly. What was all that talk from Kanzaki and the others about?”

“Jealousy, probably. When faced with such a cute girl, there’d be a lot of female spite.”

“Plus, Kanzaki and the others completely flipped and started sucking up as soon as they found out Fushimi was strong at fighting.”

“How should I put it, it’s ugly~”

When the boys said that, the three gals, Kanzaki and the others, looked at Char with frustration. These girls lived for asserting dominance over others. They must be feeling quite frustrated.

Chapter 37: A Death Flag Has Been Raised

The three gals, Kanzaki, Mita, and Serizawa, had been frustrated for a while.

However, Kanzaki soon put on a confident smile and approached Char.

“Oh my, so Char-san likes guys like Jinta. How surprising.”

While saying that, Kanzaki held up her smartphone and smugly thrust the screen in front of Char’s face.

“Jinta is the kind of guy who sends ‘messages like this’ to Momoka.”

I couldn’t see it from my seat, but she was probably showing the messages that Fushimi Jinta had sent to Yamashiro Momoka before I had reincarnated. Fushimi Jinta had been tricked by these gals into sending terrible messages to Yamashiro, which were then exposed to the whole class and became the trigger for bullying.

Of course, Char, who had copied the data from their smartphones to her own device the other day, should already know this content, but… Char deliberately raised her voice loudly and took the bait.

“Messages Jinta sent to other girls!? I’m interested in that! Could you show me?”

“Yes! Of course! Here, here, there are lots of them so look carefully!”

Kanzaki made an evil face as she handed her smartphone to Char, swiping to reveal Fushimi Jinta’s messages like a slideshow. Then the other two gals, Mita and Serizawa, also put on nasty smiles as they followed up on Kanzaki’s lead.

“Eww~ How awful~! If I got messages like this, I might be so shocked I’d be bedridden~!”

“Things like this and even things like that! This is practically criminal!”

“No matter how much you liked someone, you’d be disillusioned if you found out they were like this~”

The three gals’ next objective seemed to be making Char and me break up. Then they probably planned to cozy up to me again after isolating me, stealing away the boyfriend of Char, who had made them look foolish by making them believe lies. A very straightforward revenge.

“That’s right, Char-chan!”

“You should stay away from Jinta!”

“This guy looks quiet, but he’s seriously dangerous!”

Male students who wanted to break us up so they could date Char also joined in. While looking at Kanzaki’s smartphone screen, Char turned pale.

“This really is terrible… To be able to send words like this, it’s like he has no human heart…”

I could tell she was deliberately breathing shallowly to make her complexion worse from oxygen deprivation. Char was surprisingly good at acting, unlike life-or-death situations on the battlefield, this time would be easier for her.

“Right, right!? It’s horrible~”

“Really the worst, how could someone live their life to think up such terrible words?”

“Yamashiro consulted with Kanzaki and the others about this, and then Kanzaki and the others shared it with the class.”

“That’s right, that’s why Fushimi is a bad guy!”

The goals of the three gals and the male students aligned, and the atmosphere became one of condemning me. Dojima and his group, who had been thoroughly beaten by me, also got a chance for revenge and approached with grinning expressions.

“Poor thing. You were deceived by a bastard like Fushimi.”

“We get to see the breakup moment! I’m getting excited!”

“Char-chan, give him a good slap!”

“Hey, hey, Fushimi’s holding his head and has gone quiet lol.”

Indeed, I had inadvertently held my head in my hands.

(Kanzaki, she just handed her smartphone to Char… she’s finished.)

Handing your smartphone to a hacker… Kanzaki was about to learn what that meant.
