When I, Who Had a Popular Nature, Was Reincarnated as a Mob in an Eroge Game, as I Expected, I Got All the Heroines to Be My Heroines
I heard that the meeting event between Ishinagi and Senkawa has not occurred yet. I have been trying to keep my distance from Ishinagi as much as possible, fearing that a mob character like me might influence the flag of future events ……
For a week since then, my encounter rate with Ishinagi has kept a high level, and I have been running into her as often as the pull monster around the first town.
Then today, the weekly cleanup committee’s activity day. As usual, in front of the warehouse at the back of the school building, Ishinagi-san was standing next to me with the same equipment.
“Ishinagi-san, you are going to participate this time too?”
“No?”
“No way. I’m glad you joined us. Let’s do our best today.”
“Y-Yes, …… ehehe.”
Ishinagi-san looked embarrassed, raised a shovel to the height of her face, and declared cutely, “I’ll do my best.:
After waiting for about five minutes, the student council president, Odamaki Tamaki, came and stopped in front of the warehouse. Behind her were Senkawa and Misakura. I wondered what was going on.
“Thanks for your hard work. The head of the cleanup committee, Kawasaki-san, is absent today, so I’m going to supervise instead. ……At this time, the student council is very busy, you know. I don’t think I’ll be able to stay until the end, so I’ve brought in some helpers.”
The chairman said this as if to answer my question, then had Senkawa and Mizakura greet each other, then said, “Then I’ll leave the rest to you,” and dashed off. It seemed like our eyes met for a moment, but maybe it was just my imagination.
No, it is not that, but I think this situation is quite bad.
Originally, the encounter between Senkawa and Ishinagi should have happened when Misakura and Senkawa siblings were having lunch and Ishinagi came to deliver a lost item.
However, if the situation continues as it is, it is inevitable that they will meet here.
The change of events and development due to my intervention ……. It’s a dangerous situation that could have a major impact on the scenario in a butterfly-effect way and cause a major diversion from the objective of ‘watching the hero flirting with the heroine in a backward and protective manner’
But what has happened can’t be helped. The best solution is to avoid contact between the two as much as possible.
“Ishinagi, let’s go.”
“Hey, senpai!?”
I took Ishinagi’s hand standing next to me and moved to the flower bed in front of the staff entrance as before.
It was only a few dozen meters away, but Ishinagi’s face was bright red and she was out of breath. I wondered if she was not strong enough or she didn’t like me taking her hand. ……I thought it would be okay since it was over work gloves, but maybe I was imature.
“Sem=npai, suddenly, what’s wrong…?”
“I’m sorry, you didn’t like it right, I’m really sorry!”
“I-I’m not saying I don’t like it, but.. rather…”
I couldn’t catch the second half of her voice, which sounded like a mosquito, so I asked her again, and she turned away and said, “It’s nothing!”
Anyway, I was glad that she didn’t seem to mind. It would have been meaningless if she had run away and encountered Senkawa.
Okay, but at least I’ve calmed down for now. Senkawa and Misakura-san will be dispatched to the garbage pickup team, so I can devote myself to the work with peace of mind.
When I glanced at Ishinagi, she was still staring at her hand with reddish face.
Eh…. you hated it so much?
After 30 minutes of work, the fingertip of the hand got a hole, so I told Ishinagi and went back to the warehouse to get a spare hand.
I went inside through the open iron door, pulled out a cardboard box labeled “military gloves” from the dusty iron rack, and took out two new military gloves in plastic. I put on one pair by myself and took the other pair to Ishinagi.
When I finished my business and left the warehouse, I heard voices talking from the back of the warehouse. One was a man’s voice, and the other was a kind girl’s voice that sounded familiar.
I went around to the back of the warehouse, being careful not to make any footsteps, and hid myself behind the wall to look in the direction of the voices.
Senkawa was squatting on the ground, holding a garbage bag and a pair of fire scissors with a languid look on his face, but the bag appeared to be empty. Mikakura-san was standing in front of Senkawa, holding a garbage bag filled to the brim, though I am not sure if it was enough for Senkawa.
“Kyo-kun, let’s pick up trash, too. You know that it was Kyo-kun who was asked by Chairman Tamaki to do this, don’t you? Everyone works so hard, you know?”
“Shut up. Even if one person slacks off, she won’t find out. I have no choice but to come help because the chairman asked me to. I’m the supervisor, and you’re in charge of the work. Isn’t that fine?”
“It’s not a matter of whether or not you’ll be found out!”
……I see, so that’s how it is.
She warns Senkawa about slacking off on committee activities, but he doesn’t pay attention to her at all… I guess that’s how it is for the most part.
“I mean, Mio. It seems like you’ve been talking to him a lot lately.”
“Who’s that guy?”
“I’m sure you know who I’m talking about. It is Todo Hajime”
I was surprised to hear my name come up all of a sudden.
It’s true that since we spoke at the park, Mizakura-san has occasionally called out to me. But it was more like small talk, or rather random small talk, including things like “What’s your favorite side dish?” she was trying to show concern for me, who was reading a book by myself in class.
But from Senkawa’s point of view, it’s certainly hard to feel at peace with the fact that her childhood friend, who had been so close all this time, suddenly started talking to other guys. I understand that…..
“Hey, Mio. You’re not too picky, are you? Women like you are only interested in me, so you should stop leering at other men. And what’s more, he’s not popular because he looks like that, a virgin. Who knows what he’ll do if he misunderstand you?”
“W-What do you mean by “leering?” …… I don’t intend to do that! Moreover, Todo-kun is not like that,…….”
It’s simply rude and too much for Misakura-san. What should I do …… to help?
If I break in here and now, it should be called ‘in the category of necessity’. I mean, there’s also the pretext of not saying anything bad about me, so even if I jumped out and punched him–
“Kya!”
Just as I was about to sink into a sea of thoughts, I was brought back to myself by the sound of Mikakura-san’s scream.
I looked over and saw that Senkawa was closing in on her, gripping her shoulders tightly.
“Since when can you talk back to me? When did you learn how to talk back to me?”
“Oh ……, I’m sorry …….”
Ah… this is no longer possible. As expected, this is going too far. It’s definitely over point
When I saw tears forming at the corner of Misakura’s eyes, I felt my chest tighten. Ishinagi san is also kept waiting, and if I fight with Senkawa here, it will only make Mio even more sad. Let’s make it as peaceful as possible.
“Oh, there you are, Senkawa-kun. I’ll take care of the garbage bags, so you can go home. Thanks for your sudden help.”
I walked up to Senkawa-kun, pretending as if I had just arrived. I did not dare to touch her expression and said calmly, “Thanks for your hard work, Mikakura-san,” and accepted the trash bag and the scissors
“Oh, oh, I’m sorry. I’ll go home then. Let’s go, Mio.”
“Y-yeah. Bye, Todo kun.”
“Thank you, both of you.”
I let out a sigh as I watched the two of them leave the school gate and go home.
Actually, I wanted to leave Mizakura-san alone and ask her about the situation, but it’s obvious that if I did that, the situation would only get worse.
For the time being, the situation was resolved. Tomorrow, I’ll take the opportunity to contact her and ask her to make up with him. There must be some nourishment that can only come from their lovey-dovey relationship.
“……..Senpai, you’re late.”
“…I-I’m sorry.”
When I came back to my place, Ishinagi, who had finished her work long time ago, looked at me with a stern look and I had no choice but to apologize to her.
