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 46 – I Hope you’re Lucky
“So then, Yuta Misumi. First, say your apology in three characters.”
“Sorry.”
“…What?”
That’s ridiculous, lol. She literally said three characters!
After school.
I was brought to the student council room by Emi.
“President was really mad, so you better apologize…”
Just like Emi said, when I opened the door to the student council room, the president inside looked absolutely furious.
By the way, I also apologized a ton to Tomonari. I almost dropped to my knees begging for forgiveness. He said I didn’t have to go that far, but I still did it anyway.
“Come on, come on, he already regrets it. Can’t you just let it go?”
“I’m mad at you too, you know!?”
And there she was — the one who keeps adding fuel to the fire of the already-angry president, the so-called innocent-looking btch*, Tsugawa Mizuho.
When Emi came to get me after school, somehow Mizuho tagged along, saying, “I’ll go too!”
“Well, we started eating, and then we ended up talking way more than expected.”
“I heard you didn’t just eat lunch — you snuck out of school to do it!?”
Oh, so she only found that out later…
“Huh? But I told Yuta from the start, ‘Let’s skip together,’ didn’t I?”
“Yeah, sure. But then how do you explain the part where you said you got permission from the student council president? That was news to me!”
“Eh? But you kind of accepted it under those terms, right?”
“I did, but I never said skipping class and sneaking out were okay!”
“Ehh, same thing, isn’t it? In the end, everything turned out fine anyway!”
“It didn’t turn out fine at all!”
“Okay, okay, I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”
“You’re not sorry!”
“I am! That’s why I came to help today, right?”
Saying that, Mizuho sat herself down in a nearby seat.
“Wha—!? Hey! Who said you could just sit wherever you want!?”
“Relax, you’re short on people anyway, right?”
“For the record, I brought a helper too — that shameless traitor with big eyes over there.”
“Well, I don’t mind helping since I’m already here, but the way you said that really makes me want to refuse…”
“Shut up, you abandoned me twice.”
“Hey, I couldn’t do anything in that situation!”
“Oh really? Some ‘angel’ you are. Pretty useless, huh.”
“Are you picking a fight with me? Because I’ll take it!”
“Come on, everyone! No fighting the moment you walk in!”
Emi clapped her hands sharply.
“Now, now, President,” said Ran while continuing her own work. “You could use all the help you can get, right?”
“Well… I guess it’s true that extra hands help, but still…”
The president glared sharply at Mizuho.
“Scary, Come on, I’m even lending you my pet.”
Oh yeah! When you need extra hands, you can count on me! Nyan!
“…You’re really getting into it,” Rio muttered, looking at me like I was trash.
“N-no, not really?”
“Okay, paw.”
“Meow!”
“Good boy, good boy,” Mizuho said, patting my head.
Wait… am I actually a dog now?
“Don’t train your ex-boyfriend!”
The president chopped Mizuho on the head.
“Ow!?”
“Wait—what was I just doing!?”
As soon as Mizuho let go, I came back to my senses.
That was close. I almost became her pet for real.
“Uh, hey, Yuta,” Emi said timidly.
“Hm? What is it?”
“How can I get you to like me too? Should I give you some Churu treats…?”
“Wait, wait, no! That’s just a joke, don’t actually pull out cat treats!”
“Eh…?”
Hey, don’t look so disappointed, okay?
Still, I kind of wonder… is Churu tasty?
“Yuta, please don’t eat cat food,” Rio said flatly.
Yeah, yeah, I know, I know, haha.
“What is this? Are you all just here to play?”
See? Now even the president’s glaring at me again!
“No, ma’am! Absolutely not!!”
“You don’t have to be so scared~ Oh, and these numbers here are wrong. Also, that’s a typo.”
“Huh? Oh, you’re right! Thanks!”
“Whoa, seriously, you’re a lifesaver!”
“President, here’s this document. It needs your stamp.”
“Uh, okay…”
“And Yuta, staple these after the president stamps them.”
“Got it.”
“And Rio—”
“W-wait! You—how are you so good at this!? You’re even assigning tasks!?”
“Well, I was in the student council in middle school.”
“You’re kidding… right?”
The president looked genuinely shocked.
“How rude. Back then, I was a proper, top-notch student council member, you know.”
Yeah right. “Top-notch”? That’s not even a phrase your generation uses anymore…
Also, is being on the student council something you can “show off” like that?
“Then why are you like this now!?”
“Well, you know, a lot happened after that.”
Mizuho smiled awkwardly, and I could tell.
That “lot happened” must’ve been that time. The root of how she became who she is now.
To her father, it was probably just a brief pleasure, one of many mistakes. Maybe he doesn’t even think it was a mistake.
But for Mizuho Tsugawa, that small “mistake” completely changed her life.
It’s a damn sad story.
Still, she somehow found a way to enjoy life now.
Guess she has to—otherwise, she couldn’t keep going.
I never wanted to see her as just someone broken by unfairness. Even if she’s annoying sometimes, her bright smile really suits her.
“Well, anyway, I’ll work hard to make up for the trouble I caused. Then we’ll call it even, yeah?”
“Well… if that’s the case… but you really are sorry, right!?”
“…No comment.”
“Hey!?”
Seriously, these two can’t get along to save their lives…
