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
The reason I am running the 800-meter dash today, which I had not done since April, is because I was feeling restless and wanted to move my body.
The two-month blank had an unexpectedly large impact on me, and even with half the number of sets that had been my daily routine up until April, my legs were no longer able to obey me.
All that came to mind was Senpai’s face, his voice, and the warmth of his hands that he had felt through his gloves.
The morning I put on my running shoes, which had been lying dormant in my shoe box, and started running, driven by the urge that made the motor in my chest rev up at high speed. Even though I was getting out of breath and my legs were getting tangled, my body increased its output every time Senpai came to mind.
When was the last time I ran with such a good feeling – I wondered.
I skipped school because I ran out with so much energy. I want to see Senpai, so I’ll go to school in the afternoon.
“I’ll see Senpai in the afternoon.”
Thinking of that, my tired body felt like it was coming back to life.
After finishing the fourth set, I suddenly felt thirsty and looked around.
There must be a vending machine in the nearby park. I decided to buy a sports drink.
I ran at a jogging pace to get down and arrive at my destination. Nowadays, it is very convenient to buy juice from a vending machine with a smartphone without carrying a wallet.
My friend was bragging that she got a smartwatch, but as expected, I don’t think I can beg my mom to buy me one of those.
“—Pheww… ……”
clunk! I took out the bottled drink that fell with a clatter and downed half of it in one gulp.
As I wiped the sweat from my forehead with the towel around my neck and casually looked around the park, I saw someone standing in front of a bench, and the moment I realized who it was, my heart skipped a beat.
Senpai. ……!
It’s not like he’s skipping school, but I wonder why senpai is at the park at this hour. All those doubts flew away, and I forgot that I was wearing a jersey, but I tried to wave and run up to Senpai—but next to him.
I realized that a woman I didn’t know was hugging him
“Who is that person ……?”
As soon as this happened, the heart that had been filled with warmth and excitement until a moment ago, began to swirl with ugly, black feelings that I couldn’t tell even by myself, and they filled my heart.
Whenever I met Senpai, whenever I thought about Senpai, I would feel a throb in my chest that I didn’t know where it came from, as if I was feeling it for the first time. A happy throb.
And now, I’m trapped in feelings for the first time again.
–The same sound, but it is cold and bitter. It’s the same sound, but it’s cold and painful.
I knew this feeling.
This is jealousy.

In the end, we did not return to school that day.
It was difficult to peel off Mio, who was clinging to my right arm, but we agreed to have lunch together at a nearby family restaurant, and there was no more physical contact.
After turning off her phone, which was ringing incessantly – probably from Senkawa – she took me to a family restaurant, where she ate more than half of a hamburger set and a parfait filled with strawberries and other things.
I was really relieved to see that she had completely lost the mood she had been in this morning, when she had been so depressed.
We disband a little after fourteen o’clock, as we knew it would be dangerous if we were discovered by our classmates on their way out of school, and I saw Mio at the parting of the ways before heading back home myself.
“Hmm?”
I saw someone standing in front of the entrance.
A girl with a beautiful pink ponytail, which I could see from a distance. It was definitely Ishinagi.
It must be quite early after school …….
I rushed up to her and tried to talk to her, but I was surprised to see her expression.
The usual modest smile was not there, and what stuck was a dark expressionless face like the bottom of deep water.
“….ah, senpai”
Ishinagi slowly raised her head and looked at me.
Her small lips moved softly. Her voice was trembling, and it reached my ears faintly.
“Senpai, you have a girlfriend, don’t you?”
I was so surprised by her words that I was literally shocked. What are you talking about?
“I knew it……………… that you would shut up. ……”
