A Mob, Desperate After Being Ntr’d by a Coworker, Attends His High School Reunion for the First Time in 10 Years, and for Some Reason Is Approached by Four Beautiful Girls
I slowly opened my eyes and saw a strange ceiling.
Is this… Isn’t this my house…? Ehh…? What do you mean?
Then, as I slowly got up, I smelled the good smell of miso from the next room.
“Is that… Miso soup…?”
Oh no… I have no memory at all.
But I’m sure I had drinks with Uesugi-kun yesterday… And then… And then…
Looking at my clothes, I was surprised.
“!!!!//”
I was wearing a T-shirt that was tight around my chest….
And isn’t this a bit transparent? //
And it’s not a suit… I wonder if I took a shower, my hair smells the same smell that I smelled from Uesugi-kun’s hair yesterday.
Is this… Could it be that? Did I… Did I do it?
Upset by this, and embarrassed, I went to the living room, covering my chest with the futon to hide it.
Then I saw Uesugi-kun, who looked a little uncomfortable and said, “… Good morning”
“G-g-g-ggood morning~…”
I replied, scratching the top of my nose.
“I had washed your shirt…. It’s in the room,” he said, pointing to his room.
“T-thank you~… I’m sorry~…”. I put the futon down on the sofa, and walked quickly to the living room, put on the shirt, put on the skirt, and headed for the living room.
“There is still plenty of time to spare, so you can use the shower, you know?”
“Ah…yeah I’ll be right back. Thank you~//”
I looked at the time and sure enough, it was still 6:30.
Bad… I can’t look him in the eye… I did it, didn’t I? That means… That’s what it means, right? We’re already… That’s the kind of relationship we have, right?
“Well… You know… About yesterday~…”
“Yesterday? You don’t remember?”
“Eh!? No, … I-I remember.. ” For some reason, I was so overwhelmed.
If I had let the alcohol take over me and caused me to lose my memory… that would be… bad in many ways.
“Oh, thanks for breakfast! …It’s delicious.”
“Really? That’s good…”
Oh no, no, no! He looks super cool! No, I love him originally! I liked him though…
I didn’t want to be like going out with him without a plan like this…
No… I don’t hate it… Yeah… I don’t hate it. I don’t hate it at all…
I was too embarrassed to talk at all in high school…
But… I’m glad. I did it.
I muttered to myself as if reporting back to my old self.
“I… In this case, I guess the anniversary would be yesterday~…”
“Anniversary?”
“Eh?! Ah… Yes… Anniversary…”
“Did something happen yesterday?”
“Hee?”
This is… Could it be… Maybe… Uesugi-kun doesn’t remember what happened yesterday either!
No, if that’s the case, I guess I’m assuming too much to think that we went out…
But… No… But that’s one step ahead, isn’t it?
“Nothing~” It was Uesugi-kun, who tilted his head a little as I laughed.

It was Thursday, a few days after Shirota-san entered the company.
I haven’t had a chance to talk to Shirota-san much since she is still undergoing training, but somehow I get the feeling that she is avoiding me a little….
With this in mind, I was working as usual when my cell phone vibrated.
I received a call.
“Are you free this Saturday?”
That was the call from Anzen-san.
Well… I had completely forgotten that we had exchanged contact information.
“Just in case, I’m free,” to which I immediately asked, “what do you mean, just in case?”
I guess it’s insurance against this kind of situation… I have a habit of using a pillow word that allows me to escape if something goes wrong.
I replied back “I’m free,” and she said, “Isn’t that right? I thought so,” somewhat agitatedly.
“What are we doing?” “I was thinking of going on a book tour. You used to love books, didn’t you?” My cheeks relaxed a little at the thought that she remembered that time.
I thought I was the only one who remembered.
“Bookstore tour…”
Come to think of it, I haven’t read any books lately.
I was going to read a mystery that was popular a while ago, but I haven’t gotten around to it yet.
“All right, I’ll go buy it,” I thought, looking forward to it a little.
◇Saturday
What’s this? It looks like a date.
We were supposed to meet at 1:00 p.m. in front of the station, so I waited a little early at 12:45 p.m. “You’re here before the time, aren’t you? You’re so good,” she said to me from behind.

Anzen-san was standing there, dressed in a very punk-rock outfit.
“I-I was surprised…”
“What? You look like you want to say something.”
“No… It’s nothing.”
“Let’s go.”
She grabs me by the arm and we head for the bookstore.
“Hey, you don’t have to grab my arm…” Ignoring my words, we proceeded to the bookstore.
I mean, she was wearing a ladylike atmosphere the other day, but her casual clothes are surprisingly like this.
I don’t mean to be rude, but… I feel a mine-girl vibe.
I don’t feel like she’s mad at me though…
I follow her silently and arrive at the bookstore at the station.
“..” And the two of us look at books, not saying anything.
Thinking back, I think we were like this in high school.
When we started to talk in the library, we were both basically silent… It’s a library, of course.
Then I picked up a mystery novel that I was interested in and looked at it intently.
Then, Anzen-san looked at me with a sideways glance.
“What is it?” I said, “… nothing”
After that, without any further conversation, we both buy a few novels, and then she pulls the sleeves of my clothes and takes me to a cafe attached to the bookstore.
After ordering two latte drinks and taking a seat, I thought we were going to have a conversation, but instead, she started reading the book she had just bought.
I decided to read the book I had just bought as well.
It had probably been almost an hour.
I glanced at her and saw her reading the book as earnestly as she had in the past.
Then, after a little while, she closed the book with a slam and said, “…. Speaking of which, I heard you played with Reia.”
“Eh? Ah… yeah. Once.”
“…Yeah. And I heard Megumi joined Uesugi’s company.”
“Yeah.
that’s right…”
“… Hmm? You never talked to either of them in high school, did you?
“Yeah, well… So I’m surprised too.”
Then, Anzen-san’s face turns a little grim.
”… Y-Yes, that’s right. Anzen-san? What are you working on now?”
“What… Well, influencer?”
“Wow. That’s great.”
“That’s… Not really. Do you watch Vtubers?”
Sudden question.
Vtuber… I watch them once in a while, but I don’t know much about them.
“I… I watch them sometimes.”
“… Hee? Who do you watch?”
“I only know famous people or people who are popular.”
“.. I see. Do you know a V called Kaguya?”
Ah, she’s a popular V these days.
The girl is known for her high tension and natural character.
“Yeah. I know her.
I’ve seen some of her videos.”
“… That’s me.”
“… Huh?”
When I looked at her face again, she was turning the straw dexterously with her fingertips while her cheeks were red, perhaps a little embarrassed.
“Well… So, that’s my job now.”
“… I see.”
The gap is amazing.
Or should I say, the character building is amazing.
“… I don’t know how long I can keep doing this, but I think I want to get married soon. And then I can quit anytime I want, like graduating.”
“…I see.”
“..Yes.”
After that, we talked about nothing important, watched a movie together, and disbanded.
“Did you have a good time today?” she asked a little anxiously.
“… Yes. It was fun. I’ll see you next time,” I said, then she looks up at me.
“See you next time…? Hey… Can I go to your home…?”
