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 7 – One Problem is Solved and Then Another One Comes

The sudden “Little Sister Survival Battle” finally came to an end when the morning chime rang through the halls.

This match ended in a draw!

Please, let’s not have a rematch next time!

And so, after surviving that chaos, I headed to my classroom…

“Hey, Yuu-chan! Morning!”

“…Ugh.”

“Wow, what’s with the ‘ugh’ right after good morning?”

The guy smacking my back like he’s testing a drum is Kondou Akina—a chubby, cheerful classmate I got close to through Uthtube.

At first glance, he seems friendly and easygoing. But the problem is… he is a problem.

“And you’ve got such a cute girl following you around this early in the morning too, huh?”

“Cute!? Did you hear that, Yuta-san!?”

She looks way too happy about that…

“Akina, were you always into little girls?”

“Excuse me!? Who are you calling little!?”

“Hey, I just like cute girls in general, okay?
So, what’s your name?”

“R-Rio…”

“Rio-chan, huh? Okay then, Rio-chan—you’re my wife now.”

“Wha—!?”

Yep, that’s how he is. Anyone he takes a liking to, he instantly declares his wife.

In short—Akina is a total flirt.

And what’s worse…

“By the way, Yuu-chan, you’re my wife too.”

“Like hell I am!”

Yeah. That.

Apparently, to him, “wife” just means “someone I like.” And that definition completely ignores gender barriers.

“You can call everyone your wife all you want, but you’ve already got your true favorite, right?”

“Well, yeah.”

“Wait… even though you said that, and called me cute, and said I’m your wife!?”

“What, are you secretly happy about that?”

“N-no! I mean, I totally knew you were that kind of guy! I saw it coming!”

Rio’s face turned beet red as she blurted that out.

Ah. She totally got played.

Anyway, after that little interruption, I figured I should take a moment to jot down what I’ve learned about this school so far.

The public Nakayama High School I currently attend is in a pretty convenient location, close to the station.

Academically, it’s not the most competitive, but apparently, a lot of students apply just for the cute uniforms or the laid-back atmosphere. Rio—who transferred here today under the cover story of being my “relative”—heard all that from our classmates.

For the record, I’m in Class 2-B, while the “little sister duo,” Hinami and Maria, are in Class 1-A.

In the previous world, Maria was younger than Hinami—but it seems that’s been adjusted here.

Same goes for Akina—he was younger than me before, but now we’re the same age.
Not that it feels that weird, but still…

Anyway, aside from the easy-going school culture, there’s another big reason people love this place.

That reason is… the principal—or rather, the mascot principal, “Ryu.”

The principal is always dressed in a big, cute bear costume—so much so that nobody’s ever seen what’s underneath.

And, uh… I have a bad feeling I know that bear costume from somewhere.
Pretty sure it’s one of my Utuber acquaintances…

The school store even sells Ryu merchandise—and apparently, it’s always sold out.

I’ll have to grab some for myself next time.

As for our homeroom teacher, it’s none other than Tsunooka Sachi—the same teacher I had back in middle school.

She’s short, but don’t be fooled—she’s an ex-delinquent.When she gets angry, it’s terrifying. (No joke.)

Her name is “Tsunooka,” and supposedly she really likes tuna-mayo rice balls. Why do I even know that?

She teaches Japanese literature. And right now—her class is in session.

Which means… I’m already in trouble.

See, when you suddenly get thrown into a new world, there’s no way you’d know the class schedule or what materials you’re supposed to bring.

I had a few pens and pencils in my bag, sure—but not a single notebook.

Why!? Was the original me planning to just doodle on the textbook!?

Oh wait. There’s no textbook either.

Great.

And there’s no way I’m admitting that to her. Just imagining her glare gives me chills.

So… my only option now is to borrow from the person sitting next to me.

I glanced sideways.

The person next to me stiffened for a moment, then quickly looked away.

I looked away too.

Man, I just wanted a peaceful, fun new school life. New world, new friends, no drama.

So why… why, of all people, does my ex-girlfriend Segawa Hiromi have to be sitting right beside me?
