The Story of a Man Who Is Reincarnated as the Shi*tiest Guy in a Doujin, but the Heroine Keeps on Coming Close to Him

Chapter 41

Oh my.

Hmm?

It was after school. Unfortunately for Ryuichi, today was the day he had his part-time job, so he couldnt hang out with Shizuna after school. Nevertheless, he would still walk her homebecause whenever they walked home together, she would seem very happy. Of course, part of the reason he did it was because he wanted to see her smile, but he also wanted to do everything he could to follow her whims as a way of thanking her for everything she did for him.

Whats up?

It should have been a normal after-school day, but there was something unusual that had been placed inside Shizunas shoe locker. It was a letter; more specifically, a love letter.

Whatre you gonna do?

Im not interested.

That was all she had to say before she stuffed it into her pocket. He could tell from her expression that she truly wasnt interested in the letter at all, but the fact that she put it away in her pocket could mean that she would just read it when she got home.

Im not even going to read it when I get home. Im just choosing to throw it away at home since I wont have to worry about anyone else seeing me there.

I see.

Still, Ryuichi thought it was reckless of the sender to confess their feelings to Shizuna. Though he wasnt in a relationship with her, anyone could see that she held sincere feelings for him from the bottom of her heart. He wasnt trying to be arrogant or brag about her feelings for him, but he inwardly expressed his lamentations for said person whose name he didnt even know.

Shizuna.

He hugged her shoulders as if to tell that person, If youre watching her from somewhere right now, you better burn this scene into your eyes.

Did you maybe get a little jealous?

I did.

just kidding. I cant imagine a world where youd get jealouoh?

There was no way he wouldve been jealous since he knew how she felt for him, and it was obvious that she didnt reciprocate the feelings of the sender of the letter. However, she didnt seem to have caught on to the fact that he was only joking, and his response made her eyes open wide in surprise.

Fufu.

Well, she seems to have brightened up in one go. Guess Ill just let her think Im jealous.

When he saw her eyes wide in surprise and her cheeks loosening into a broad smile, he didnt bother to correct her misunderstanding and justleft it as it was.

I see~. I guess I shouldve known even you can get jealous, huh, Ryuichi-kun.

Yeah, totally. Im sooo jealous. Youre my woman, yknow?

Yes! Yes, yes, yes! Im Ryuichi-kuns exclusive woman! Muhaaaaa!!

Though her voice had gone completely strange, it was still cute, and her sloven expression of happiness also seemed to highlight her adorableness as well.

After that, he walked Shizuna home and made his way to the club where he had his part-time job. The club wasnt open yet, but the manager and employees were already present, and everyone approached him as he entered.

For students, it was an impure place, and for adults as well, it was a special kind of club where people with those kinds of interests gathered, but strangely enough, the atmosphere was good and many of its patrons were kind-natured.

Hey there, Ryuichi.

Sup, boss. Gonna be countin on your help again today.

A fierce-looking man with his hair swept back came in. He was the manager of this club and a man with somewhat homosexual tendencies, being more interested in men than women.

I know youre tough and all, but dont push yourself too hard, kay? Youre ultimately just a student. Dont let yourself get tainted by the atmosphere of this placethough its probably too late for that now, huh.

No shit.

Hed already visited the club countless times even before hed gotten his part-time job here, so it really was too late for that.

Somebodys put in a request for you. You wont have to do anything else.

Huh? Who?

Well, youll find out when they get here.

Leaving those few words behind, the time for opening arrived. While the waiters were going about their respective jobs, two people approached Ryuichi as he was diligently helping the manager.

Yoohoo, Ryuichi~. Hard at work, arentcha?

Good evening, Ryuichi-kun. Weve come to visit.

He didnt even have to turn around to recognize their voices. He let out a small sigh and turned to face the visitors. There, he found Chisa and Satsuki standing side by side, gazing at him.

So it was you guys. I had a feeling it might be you since the manager said they specifically requested for me.

I mean, I cant think of anyone better suited to handling women than you. Plus, I know its work, but it puts me more at ease seeing you talk to people you already know.

I see. Guess it cant be helped, then.

Well, that being said, it had become routine for Chisa and Satsuki to come visit the club on the days when Ryuichi worked part-time. Though Chisa was one thing, it may have been surprising to see Satsuki visiting the club again after that incident, but the reason she came was because Ryuichi was here. In fact, she had said that she never wouldve come if it werent for him.

Ugh, guess that means Ive got to work again.

You dimwit, taking care of your customers is a splendid job. Aight, Im leaving this delinquent of a brat in your hands, Chisa-chan, Satsuki-chan.

You got it. Leave him to us.

Well take care of him, sir.

Thus, Ryuichi was thrown into the den of the two girls. The manager nodded in satisfaction when he saw him sandwiched between the two, and even the other employees looked at Ryuichi with smiles on their faces.

Damn, hes always being so soft on me.

When he spat those words out, Chisa put her index finger on his cheek.

Cmon, dont say that. The manager knows about your family situation to some extent, too. Youre trying to act normal to avoid worrying others, but that must be pretty hard, isnt it?

Well, yeah.

Ryuichis present life was relatively harder than that of most high school students. He had always been considered unwanted by his parents since he was a child, and yet despite his already cruel parents, he was forced to live without the love of his grandparents either after their early passing. In other words, Ryuichi had never known the warmth of a family and what it was like to be loved by one.

Come to think of it, I dont know anything about my family in my previous life, either. Or should I say, its like I cant remember them. Its such a strange feeling.

It was a fact he sometimes forgot, but this world was a manga world, and it was why there could exist a family environment like this that would not normally be possible.

In that case, he shouldve been able to remember his previous lifes family and understand what the warmth of a family was like, but for some reason, he couldnt remember them.

Well, that being said, however; it wasnt like being unable to remember made him particularly sad. In fact, from his point of view, it was a good thing that he had no regrets about his previous life, because then he wouldnt have to get hung-up over it, and it wouldnt make him feel sad.

Cmon, Ryuichi, why dont you order something too? Better eat up here and now.

You do realize Im on the job right now, right?

Its your job right now to eat with us, you know?

Heh, you heard the two. Ill cook up some nice food for you, so order fast.

It was as if he was a small child surrounded by adults who were spoiling himor rather, it was like a neighborhood uncle and two older sisters spoiling the youngest kid among them.

Although he wasnt completely on board, he knew the girls wouldnt back down here, so he decided to listen to them.

Sigh. Fine, Ill order something, boss.

Ryuichi ended up giving in to them. Just to be clear, things like these obviously werent an everyday occurrence, and there were a fair amount of times when he worked himself too hard and felt tired the next day, much to Shizunas concern.

Ryuichi-kun.

Satsuki, sitting next to him, leaned in closer. As he was enjoying the feel of her touch on his body, he suddenly felt something like a gaze on him and turned his attention toward it.

?

One male customer was looking at not just Satsuki, but Chisa as well. Well, this club served as a place for people to find partners as well, so he guessed he had his eyes on either Chisa or Satsuki. However, he seemed to have given up trying to talk to either since Ryuichi was next to them.

I know you cant drink, but here, take this to go with your meal.

Aight.

He obediently took the bottle of beer and poured some into Chisas cup. It bubbled up and almost spilled out, but Chisa hurriedly sipped from it just in the nick of time.

Drinking with you and Satsuki like this really does make the beer taste good.

Really, now?

Fufu, maybe Ill have a few drinks today myself.

Satsuki also started sipping some beer. Even as she drank her beer, however, Satsuki never moved her body away from Ryuichi. It felt as if she was implicitly telling him that she did not want to be separated from him even for a moment, so he pulled his arm out of her embrace and hugged her shoulder.

Dont drink too much. Im sure you arent that heavy-weight. Unlike a certain woman.

Dont worry. I know my limits, and I plan on drinking within them.

Oh? If you cant keep your promise, Ill play a little prank on you like this, okay?

He shifted his hands from his shoulders and put them on Satsukis ample breasts. Her eyes immediately widened; she drank the beer from her glass in one gulp and then said this.

Looks like Ill have to drink a lot and get you to play more pranks on medont I?

So thats what youre going with.

Satsuki, too, had become much bolder in front of Ryuichi. Whereas not so long ago she would have been trembling in nervousness for even the smallest of things, now she was more confident in herself and was showing Ryuichi how she honestly felt.

Hey~! Whyre you two flirting with each other!!

Chisa, perhaps feeling left out, also joined the fray. For Ryuichi, this was supposed to be his part-time job, but thanks to these girls, he was spending time that felt nothing like a job. Well, it was work in itself to deal with these girls, but anyone who looked at him would collectively say, What an enviable job!

Master! You got any condoms~?

You seriously think hed have those?

I do.

What?!

It seemed that this clubno, its manager was definitely the most unusual one.
