After My Girlfriend Dumped Me, I Got Reincarnated As A High School Student. That Part’s Fine—But Why Are All My Ex-Girlfriends Here Too? - Chapter 27 – Unwanted Reunion
So, here I was—face-to-face with that handsome jerk I never wanted to see again.
“You ready for this? You messed with me, got me dragged to the guidance office, and I ended up suspended because of you.”
“I see… and now you’re out here hitting on girls with your buddies to blow off steam?”
“Ah, so you’re the one she was talking about! Yuta didn’t do anything wrong!”
Rio’s voice was sharp with anger.
“Shut up! I just can’t stand it when things don’t go my way!”
Wow. This guy actually exists? A real-life walking ego problem. Even Rio was glaring at him with disgust.
And the girl he was trying to pick up…
Wait. She’s… really cute. Actually my type.
She looked about my age. Black, loosely permed medium hair, a light cream blouse, and a floral knee-length skirt—an elegant, clean look.
Then our eyes met.
She stared straight at me. Hard.
Oh no. Was I staring too? Crap, that’s creepy! Officer! It’s me! I confess!
“Don’t ignore me, bastard!”
The handsome jerk, losing patience, swung his fist at me.
I tried to dodge, but one of his friends grabbed my arm from behind.
“Damn—!”
“Hey! That’s unfair!”
Rio tried to jump in, but she was too far away.
I shut my eyes tight, bracing myself for the hit—
…but it never came.
When I opened my eyes, the girl they were harassing had just delivered a perfect roundhouse kick straight into his face.
“Guh—!?”
For a split second, I caught a glimpse of something black and lacy. Probably just my imagination.
…Okay, fine, I saw it. Clearly. Burned into my memory. Ahem.
“I hate persistent guys.”
“Hey, Ikeda! You okay, man!?”
Ah. So that’s his name—Ikeda. Not that I care.
As the girl turned to leave, I called out to her.
“Sorry about that. Ended up being the one who got saved.”
“Huh?”
She looked at me again. Oh, she’s looking again. Wait—am I actually good-looking after all!?
“No, not even close,” Rio said flatly.
Ouch. Right in the pride.
“Oh, I thought you looked familiar. Yuta, right? The girl with you called you that too, so I figured.”
Wait—she knows me!?
“Yuta, you know her?” Rio asked.
“I mean… I’d definitely remember a cute girl like her…”
“Wow, Yuta, you’re easier than I thought.”
She looked at me in disbelief.
“Hey, it’s just biology! Guys are supposed to like cute girls!”
“Huh? You really don’t remember me, Yuta?”
Her voice softened a bit.
“Well, I guess that makes sense. We only met once, after all.”
“O–once…?”
Oh no. That could describe way too many people from my past.
“Long time no see, Yuta Misumi.”
With a bright, almost mischievous grin—one that practically went sparkle—she said my full name on purpose.
“M-Mii… right?”
“That’s right! See, you do remember!”
She laughed cheerfully, patting me on the shoulder.
Mii—real name, Mizuho Tsugawa.
Oh no.
My jaw dropped.
“Yuta, don’t tell me this person is also…?”
“…Yeah. Unfortunately, she is.”
That’s right.
She was my second ex-girlfriend.
The long-awaited reappearance—Mizuho Tsugawa.
“I can’t believe it… all four of my ex-girlfriends are really here in this world…”
“Huh? What are you talking about?”
Mizuho blinked, clearly not following.
“I knew it,” Rio muttered, exasperated. “Another ex. But why’d you forget her too?”
“Come on, can you blame me? We only dated for—what, three days?”
“Three… days!?”
“Haha, that’s right!” Mizuho laughed like it was the funniest thing ever.
For me—the one who got dumped—it was not funny at all.
Still, seeing that smile… yeah, it was familiar.
I’d completely forgotten.
But now I remember.
And seriously—how did it end up like this?
Where did my peaceful, quiet high school life in this new world go? Oh, right. It never existed to begin with. Pien.
