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
Twenty-two o’clock. As I Todo Hajime (東藤一) walked along the familiar commuting route from the office to home with a convenience store bag filled with drinks for two hanging from it, I was remembering the hideous ugly face of the vomit-haired section chief who went out of his way to impose a deadline of today for non-urgent work.
Shit, that blabbermouth section chief. I’ll smash his head open and soak his brain in soda, for real.
Well, I guess he doesn’t like it because his favourite female employee – my senior by three years, who was my trainer when I was a new employee – is being awfully nice to me lately.
That senior is at my house right now, waiting for me to prepare dinner.
“Well, I’ll make dinner and wait for you! Don’t worry, I have the key!” She left with a smile on her face, but I wonder when I gave her the key.
I was walking aimlessly, thinking about that, so I guess that’s why. The pedestrian signal was glowing bright red and I was running into the pedestrian crossing without noticing it.
When I looked to the side, a moped was already in front of me, and I fell into the intersection as if I had been blown away.
Ouch, my back ached and my head hurt even more, as if I had hit it when I fell. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the moped driver, an old man, in a tremendous hurry.
I understood intuitively. ─ ─ Ah, I don’t know if I’m going to make it. I haven’t even cleared one route in the Eroge I bought last time. I’m sorry to hear that.
I thought in my fading consciousness.
Don’t large trucks and buses usually go in at times like this? Why is a moped…?

“Ha!?”
The next time I woke up, I was in a strange ceiling – it must have been a strange ceiling, but it didn’t seem to be a hospital.
I touched my head and waist, but there were no injuries. On the contrary, it doesn’t even hurt – or rather.
“Am I kind of thin?”
I was fortunate to be surrounded by people and had many kind-hearted acquaintances. In addition to the senior in question, there were women who came to my house in turn to help me with meals and housework, a friend from high school, a new employee this year, a receptionist from a business partner… I’m very grateful for that, but I’m getting very fat. It wasn’t until I was in my early twenties that I thought I had a body structure that made it easy to gain weight, and by the time I was twenty-six, in my late twenties, I had enough belly to be seen in public baths.
But what about now? Thin and reasonably muscular. It’s just like when I was in high school – and then I realised something.
I turned my gaze 90 degrees to the right and looked at my reflection in the mirror. The person I see in the mirror is not, for all intents and purposes, a twenty-six-year-old tired salesman, but a harmless-looking, or to put it better, kind, high-school boy himself.
And I know this guy.
He must be Hajime Todo (藤堂創), the mob character from the eroge ‘Dull Coloured Ascent Lane’, which I had just bought last week and had not yet managed to conquer any of the characters due to lack of time. I remember him well because he had the same name, albeit with different kanji, and I felt a strange sympathy for him.
In other words, this seems to be what happened.
I was hit by a moped that day, died and was reincarnated as an eroge mob character.
Yes, it’s very simple. It’s easy to understand.
Before life? Previous life? Well, it doesn’t matter either way, but having been deeply exposed to two-dimensional content, I can easily understand this situation. Whether I can accept it is, well, a different matter, but I guess I’ll just have to let go of the fact that I’ve become what I’ve become.
But anyway, if I was going to be reincarnated, I would have preferred a fantasy world with swords and magic. I wanted to use Gigaflame too.
I wonder why it’s an eroge. I’ve been playing games for a long time, and usually it’s a standard thing to reincarnate into a game that I’ve played so hard that I’ve risen to world ranker status, and use the knowledge and techniques from my previous life to fight in a warriors’ war.
I haven’t even completed the first route of the eroge I bought last time.
No, you’re lying, right? Oh, seriously?
That was the only regret I had, and they let me reincarnate to make up for that? Then at least make me the main character?
There’s no point in complaining about it. I casually looked at the phone in my hand and saw that it was Monday 9 June, just after midnight. I see, the day I died was Friday 6 June, so the time axis is not that far off.
So I’m going to school this morning.
The moment I understood that I had been reincarnated, memories of his life in this world flowed into me, and it seemed unlikely that I would do anything out of the ordinary, get lost, or not recognise my parents’ faces.
“Well, I guess I’ll just have to live in this world.”
Hibarazaka Academy, where we, including the main characters in the work, go to school. From tomorrow, I too will have to act as a student there. I’m a little anxious, but for now, I’ll go to school tomorrow and watch the heroine and hero in this game from a distance, while also carving out a page of sweet youth with the mob girls, just like a mob. Good night humanity.
At this time, I was seriously thinking that.
That’s how it is. I had no way of knowing what would happen next.
