In My Second Life, I'll Do Everything To Win You Over—My Beloved Childhood Friend Will Never Be Given To Anyone Else - Episode 12

“I’m glad you didn’t get scolded too much.”

Nagisa looks at me and smiles as if relieved.

We skipped the first period, so naturally, the teacher scolded us.

However, when I said I was with Nagisa in the bathroom because she wasn’t feeling well, I wasn’t scolded that much.

“Well, if the truth gets out, it would probably lead to some lifestyle guidance. Right, Momoka?”

“Why do you look so happy?”

“Because it feels like our little secret, doesn’t it?”

Hehe, Nagisa’s smile is just too cute.

“……The next class is about to start, so I need to get ready.”

“Momoka, you don’t have to be shy.”

Nagisa is in a good mood. To be honest, I’m quite elated too.

We took out the necessary materials for the next class from the lockers in the hallway and returned to our seats.

“You were taking care of Fujimiya-san, right?”

As if he had been waiting for it, Kusakabe said that.

“Really?”

Laughing teasingly, Kusakabe leans in to look at my face.

“Actually, I’ve been slacking off.”

If someone were to smile like this, many kids would probably get flustered.

I wonder if I used to flirt with Nagisa like this, and it makes me kind of irritated.

How should I respond?

When I was a bit troubled, suddenly, someone’s hand was placed on my right shoulder.

When I hurriedly turned around, Nagisa was standing there.

“The thing we were doing earlier is a secret just between me and Momoka.”

Saying that with a triumphant air, he looks at my face and says, “Hey.”

You must have come all this way because you were curious about me talking with Kusakabe.

Cute.

“Yeah, it’s our secret.”

I snuck out of school and ate ice cream in the park. That’s all.

But that’s also a secret just between Nagisa and me.

The classroom door opens, and the teacher comes in.

“Momoka, see you later.”

After lightly stroking my head, Nagisa returned to her seat.

“I might be disliked by Fujimiya-san.”

“Huh?”

“I feel like I just got totally dominated.”

When I was told that, I desperately tried to hold back a grin.

That’s right. Nagisa, you were just trying to one-up me, weren’t you?

He says he gets along better with me than you do.

I’m glad it’s not my misunderstanding.

“Next time, will you skip work with me?”

“That’s why I’m not slacking off.”

By answering that way, I made my response ambiguous.

“Anyone want to join the cheerleading squad?”

During homeroom, the teacher said that. The rule is to select two boys and two girls from each class to form the cheerleading squad.

The first to raise her hand was Nagisa. I hurriedly raised my hand as well, not wanting to fall behind.

It might depend on the school, but our school doesn’t have that much popularity for the cheerleading squad.

Because they are busy with club activities and cram schools after school, they do not participate.

“Are these two girls okay?”

The girls in the class are clapping enthusiastically. For those who don’t want to do it, having someone raise their hand is probably a relief.

“Anyone who wants to do it… Oh, Kusakabe, will you do it?”

When Kusakabe’s eyes met mine, he smiled broadly.

And then, without saying a word, I’m told, “Please take care of it.”

Immediately after that, Kusakabe’s friend raised their hand, and the class cheerleading squad was decided.

If the distance between Kusakabe and Nagisa doesn’t close during the cheerleading practice, we should be able to completely eliminate the possibility of them dating.

And at the same time, if I can also stir up Nagisa’s jealousy, our relationship might change too.

The cheerleading squad has to give it their all.
