In My Second Life, I'll Do Everything To Win You Over—My Beloved Childhood Friend Will Never Be Given To Anyone Else - Episode 22

“After all, it’s quite popular, isn’t it?”

Seeing the number of people who wanted to be the caregiver, Nagisa let out a voice that sounded exasperated.

“Janken, I hope I can win.”

The first aid team consists of four members, with two men and two women each.

In other words, for us to do it together, both of us have to win at rock-paper-scissors.

“Hey, Momoka. Shouldn’t we decide what we’re going to do? So that whether we win or lose, we can be together.”

“Yeah, sure.”

“If a girl gets chosen first, let’s decline. We might get scolded, but…”

Haha, Nagisa laughs mischievously. I’m happy that he says he doesn’t want to be in a different group, as if it’s a matter of course.

The first aid attendant is responsible for transporting those who are unwell to the infirmary or first aid tent.

Therefore, it is necessary to always be on standby at the first aid tent, and you don’t have to be in the class tent while on standby.

The first aid tent should be relatively cooler because it has a lower population density compared to the class tent.

In short, it’s the easiest job, isn’t it?

“Okay, how about we do it in the order of rock, paper, scissors? After that, we can repeat.”

Nodding at Nagisa’s suggestion, we took a step forward.

Compared to boys, there are many girls who also want to be first aid attendants.

If I lose this rock-paper-scissors game, I’ll have to take on the leftover role. And if there aren’t two spots available, I’ll end up with a different role than Nagisa.

Please, God.

Desperately praying, I participated in rock-paper-scissors.

And we have seized victory.

♡

Today, we finished with the assignment of roles, an explanation of the practice schedule, and a performance by those who were part of the cheerleading squad last year.

I joined the cheerleading squad to prevent Kusakabe and Nagisa from getting along, but I’m really bad at sports. Honestly, I’m feeling heavy-hearted.

“Hey, Momoka. The performance was really cool, wasn’t it?”

Nagisa said that with high energy and demonstrated the dance moves with just her upper body while walking.

Even though I’ve only seen it once, the level of completion is quite high.

“I started to feel anxious, wondering if I could really do it.”

“It’s okay! If you can’t do it, I’ll practice with you.”

Thank you.

If Nagisa would teach me, I could pretend not to be able to do it on purpose… Just as I was thinking that, Nagisa stopped in front of the vending machine.

It’s not a drink vending machine, it’s an ice cream vending machine.

“How about we eat this on the way home?”

There’s just a little bit left until home. Even if I don’t eat ice cream here, I can soon return to my cool, air-conditioned house.

But that doesn’t give me a reason to decline Nagisa’s invitation.

“Yeah, sure.”

“Yay! I wanted ice cream.”

While saying, “Which one should I choose?” Nagisa carefully examines the lineup of ice creams.

In the end, what Nagisa chose was something with a summery soda flavor.

I hesitated a bit and chose the apple-flavored one.

“Momoka’s looks good too, it looks delicious.”

“Nagisa’s looks delicious too.”

Nagisa bit into the ice cream. There was a satisfying crunching sound.

As I took a bite of my ice cream, Nagisa made an unexpected suggestion.

“Want to swap a bite?”

We are childhood friends. Sharing food is a daily routine for us.

However, popsicles are different from other sweets and foods. Even we have never shared them before.

“Hey, Momoka. It’s fine, right?”

Bathed in the sunset, Nagisa’s eyes sparkled. Before I could even respond, Nagisa brought the ice cream closer to my mouth.

“Here, eat this.”

My lips were poked with ice, and I reflexively opened my mouth. Then, Nagisa shoved the ice into the gap.

Chomp, I bit into the ice cream. The refreshing taste of soda spread throughout my mouth.

“Give me some of Momoka’s too.”

“Yeah”

Still flustered, I held out my ice cream to Nagisa’s mouth. The moment Nagisa opened her mouth, my gaze was fixed on her tongue.

Nagisa’s tongue might be quite long…

“Why are you staring so much?”

Nagisa, who took a bite of my ice cream, says with a laugh.

“Could it be that you got excited?”
