Chapter 1: Recovered memory
"... Ah?"
That day, he remembered.
He had a sudden splitting headache, and it was as if a memory hidden in the back of his brain had been pried open.
".... like......I'm such a piece of shit............"
If there were people around, they would be like, "What's this guy mumbling about?"
Fortunately, he is alone in his apartment. The garbage bags scattered around the room suggest that the room is quite dirty.
"......mmmm"
He was sitting in the middle of such a room with a pout, arms crossed, and he was thinking - how did this happen?
"Strangely, I can't remember the title, but ...... it's the guy who steals the childhood friend away from ...... the main character, right?"
What is this guy really talking about, anyone would think ......, but what happened to him can never be passed off as a joke.
Because now he remembers.
A memory of how things used to be, before he lived in this world.
"I see you are ...... Shishido Ryuichi."[T/N: I think he's talking in a rd POV, referring to the name of the character he transmigrated to. Honestly Idk, I'm stupid.]
Shishido Ryuichi, that is his name. No, it is both his name and another name. His name is different from when he lived in the old world, but it is a name he has been familiar with for many years now on this side of the world. He has no intention of saying anything about the name now, despite the fact that his dormant memories have been recalled.
"...... Well, just because I remembered it doesn't change anything, does it?"
The memory he recalled, the memory he now has, is that he is a character in a certain Doujin. It's an adult comic and the genre is Netorare...... and frankly, he is the guy who steals the girl that the main character is in love with.
He said, "...... Oh, sh*t, this is a pain in the ass."
His manner of speaking is drawn to his body and rude.
He stood up and looked at himself in the mirror. He is tall and blonde, his ears are pierced and his body is muscular, and he had a huge figure of a cock, which made him perfect for the role of a womanizer.
"This guy may not be the best, but he's good looking."
He was indeed a good-looking young man looking in the mirror.
He looks completely flirtatious and delinquent in appearance, but he has a well-developed face and, for the second time, a well-trained body. His stout body gives a sense of strength, which is enough to easily knock down an average woman.
If you ignore the fact that he looks like a delinquent, he is really a handsome man. Well, I guess that's why he is set up to have affairs with women. ...... He would be popular if he was normal, and if you say he looks frivolous and seductive with his mouth, that's understandable.
"...... hah."
He let out a loud sigh.
It's not just the fact that he remembered that bothers him now, it's the reflection on his behavior before he remembered. It's not the bad behavior that makes him who he is, but ...... he did have relationships with women in his own way.
Fortunately, he doesn't seem to have any relationships with women who have men as partners in his memories, but ...... what the hell is he doing?
"Sure, it's good now, but ...... you fall deeply in love with the heroine and then you steal her away from the protagonist. And the heroine is a woman, too, and she has a dislike for Ryuichi, who is frivolous, but she has a physical relationship with him because of a convenient development characteristic of erotic manga, or was it a fraud?"
His body remains the same, his past remains the same, but his way of thinking changes and he is still Ryuichi and not Ryuichi, you could say. In other words, his normal thought process has awakened, and he has no taste for sleeping with anyone's woman.
"......... or maybe Ryuichi is just a screwed up guy with a messed up family."
'I have some sympathy for the rocky relationship with the family in my memory and the backstory that was not depicted in the doujin, but it does not justify the misdeeds that followed.' He paused for a moment to stop thinking about his family, realizing that thinking about it too much would make him feel depressed.
"Ryuichi Shishido...... something about his name makes me think that he might be getting laid."
It's a completely non-mob name.
It's a fine first and last name, and it's a tremendously memorable name. Well, if there is a test, it will be hard to write down the name each time there is one.
"Well, just because I remember, it doesn't change anything. Let's go outside."
Ryuichi got up and headed straight for the front door, but on the way he stepped on one of the cans and took a big tumble. It was lame to see a big guy fall down so stupidly. Ryuichi decided to clean up a little when he got home.
A cool breeze greeted him as he stepped outside.
It was April, and he had just moved up to the second year at his current high school. This year, he changed classes, and the protagonist and heroine of the manga are also in the same class. Since he had been involved in a certain amount of flirting during his freshman year, he is looked down upon with a frown by the more serious members of his class.
"...... whew."
A big sigh escaped him.
Ryuichi did not even cover his mouth with his hand. This was a sign that he was feeling a little out of it, and that he was slightly confused and unable to accept the current situation.
"I can understand how you feel, but..."
As I felt myself, Ryuichi's appearance is that of a complete delinquent. That is why many people who pass by Ryuichi on the street look at him and move away to keep their distance. Although I am a little shocked by this, I can't help but worry about it since it has been that way until now.
It was when Ryuichi was walking aimlessly through the city.
"Let go of me!"
"It's not a big deal. Right? I promise I won't make you feel bad."
"Please don't!"
"If you get too violent, I'm going to have to shut you up. ...... Hey, little girl?"
"What?"
There was a man trying to take a girl in front of me with impunity.
He looked frivolous like Ryuichi, but I knew he was older than Ryuichi. The passerby pretended not to see her and did not help her.
Ryuichi had lived a life of seducing women, and he was also good at one-night stands, but this time he was different. In other words, he decides to help her.
"......Who the hell are you?"
" Damn, look, give it up."
The man turned to Ryuichi as he approached.
Caught in the act, the woman also looked at Ryuichi and ...... her eyes widened there. The man's face surprised Ryuichi, too - because she was no stranger to Ryuichi.
She had long, silky black hair that reached down her back, long slits in her eyes, a beautiful face, large breasts that raised her clothes to a man's lust, and dazzling legs that peeked out from her skirt, all of which made her very attractive.
Yes, her name was Rindo Shizuna......the same heroine that Ryuichi was going to steal from the protagonist.
"...... Shishido-kun."
...... what the hell is wrong with you?"
Ryuichi chuckled at both Shizuna, whose eyes seemed to have had their hopes dashed, and the man who was freaked out by Ryuichi's appearance. He didn't expect either of them to look at him this way..... or even a little bit, for that matter.
He took a step in and the man stepped back.
Slowly approaching and looking down at the man from his tall height, Ryuichi spoke up.
"Get the fuck out of here."
" ha-ha-haiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!"
The man ran off at a great speed with a bounce.
Ryuichi was stunned at how gutless the man was, but then he turned his attention to Shizuna, who was being tangled up next. She looked away as if she was scared, but Ryuichi nodded his head and said, "Well, that's to be expected."
"I'm sorry for scaring you. I'm sure he won't be back, but just be careful on your way home."
"......Ah."
With that, Ryuichi walked past Shizuna.
She didn't say a single word of thanks until she eventually passed by, but Ryuichi didn't care. But when he was some distance away, he heard a voice behind him.
" Ah, Thank you, Shishido-kun!"
"......."
Thank you, come to think of it, I have never had that many people say that to me.
I had never been thanked for my work. The most that you can do is to go to the website of the company and ask them for a few minutes of their time.
"......ou!"
That is why Ryuichi turned his face only to Shizuna and answered that much.
His expression at that moment was a smile like a young child's, and there was no doubt that it was a beautiful smile for anyone to see.
"......!"
Shizuna, who quickly turned her head away, was depressed that Ryuichi's smile was so creepy.
Suddenly thrown into the manga world he knew, his story begins.
We will see what kind of life he will lead, and what kind of connections he will be able to make.
