When I lost my memory, beautiful girls kept coming forward one after another, saying, 'I am your girlfriend,' but among them, there was one who had pushed me down - Chapter 1

My body, thrown into the air, naturally began to fall due to gravity.

It was incredibly fast, yet it felt like time was passing slowly, a strange sensation.

In the blink of an eye, the ground appeared before me.

“Uwaaaaaaaah!”

I couldn’t react properly, not even to brace for impact.

With a loud thud, my consciousness faded…

…

…

“Where am I?”

When I came to, I was lying on a bed.

“Oh, Shiwatashi just woke up!”

A short-haired girl peered down at me, surprise evident in her voice.

She looked unfamiliar, but she seemed to know me.

She addressed me without honorifics, so we were probably close, but I couldn’t recall why.

With tanned skin and cool eyes, she was a beautiful girl who left a strong impression.

She appeared to be around the same age as me, a first-year high school student perhaps?

“Good thing! How are you feeling? Any pain anywhere?”

A kindly woman in a white coat inquired.

Judging by her demeanor, she didn’t seem like a doctor but more like a school nurse.

“My arm stings a little, like a scrape, but otherwise, I’m fine.”

“You’re lucky. Shiwatashi fell from a high place, and Mayasan found you lying there.”

“Huh… Fell…?”

Now that she mentioned it, I did have memories of falling.

“At any rate, I’m glad you’re okay. You should still get checked at a proper hospital, but I’ve treated your minor injuries for now.”

“Thank you.”

My arm had some conspicuous bandaging.

“Are you planning to return to the classroom, or would you like to rest here for a bit?”

“I think I’ll be fine to go back to class.”

“Really? Just don’t overexert yourself.”

“Okay. Thank you for your help.”

I expressed my gratitude and got off the bed.

“Let’s go back together then.”

“Uh, sure.”

I left the infirmary with Mayasan, the short-haired girl.

The school building looked as if it had just been built, sparklingly new.

Where on earth was this place?

“But I was so surprised, Shiwatashi. You just collapsed in the backyard out of the blue.”

“Y-yeah.”

As we headed back to the classroom, I noticed that all the students passing by were girls.

And for some reason, they all seemed to be looking at me.

Some glanced at me shyly, while others stared openly.

When we arrived at the classroom, my classmates rushed over.

“Are you okay, Shiwatashi?”

“No injuries?”

“We were so worried!”

All of my classmates were girls as well.

In fact, I hadn’t seen a single male since I woke up.

Seeing my confusion, Mayasan peered at my face with a puzzled expression.

A little too close for comfort, actually.

“Shiwatashi, is something wrong?”

“Well, you see… I seem to have lost my memory. I don’t remember where this is, who everyone is, or anything…”

After a moment of silence…

“Eeeeeeeeeh!?”

The classroom erupted with everyone’s voices.

I still remembered my name, my family, and things from my childhood.

It seemed like recent memories were the ones missing.

I couldn’t recall where this place was or who these girls were.

“I’m Yuika Musubi. And I’m Momose Yuiha. You didn’t forget me too, did you?”

Among the many beautiful girls in the class, a particularly striking one timidly inquired.

With well-defined features and long, beautiful black hair, she resembled an idol.

“I’m sorry, I don’t remember.”

“That’s… to forget even your girlfriend…”

The girl introduced as Yuiha Momose let out a few tears.

“Eh!? Y-You’re my girlfriend!? Are you saying you’re my girlfriend!?”

Yuiha blushed and nodded at me with her watery, reddened eyes.

It was hard to believe that such an ethereal beauty could be my girlfriend.

“What!? Y-You and Shiwatashi were dating!?”

“I had no idea!”

“But they did seem close, didn’t they?”

The girls reacted with excitement, typical of an all-girls school.

“Come on, everyone. Take your seats. The class is starting.”

The teacher entered, and everyone returned to their seats.

Naturally, I had no idea where my seat was.

“Welcome back, Shiwatashi. Are you okay?”

“More like, ‘Are you okay?'” I replied, my mind in a bit of a panic.

I was overwhelmed, and I couldn’t explain the situation properly.

My knack for not being able to explain things properly remained unchanged.

“Here, Shiwatashi, your seat is over here.”

Mayasan gently pushed my back and showed me to my seat.

“Ah!?”

At that moment, my memory suddenly returned.

That’s right.

Right before I fell, someone pushed my back.

It wasn’t an accident where I slipped and fell.

I looked around the classroom in sudden fear.

Perhaps someone who pushed me down is among these people.
