In My Second Life, I'll Do Everything To Win You Over—My Beloved Childhood Friend Will Never Be Given To Anyone Else - Episode 27

When I opened my eyes, I was in the infirmary bed. I sat up, feeling the familiar ceiling and a faint smell of medicine.

“Don’t push yourself!”

I immediately heard Nagisa’s voice.

“Are you okay? Do you want something to drink?”

And then, Kusakabe’s voice too.

I slowly look around. The school nurse isn’t here right now, and there are two chairs next to the bed.

“Uh…”

“Momoka suddenly collapsed!”

With a tearful expression, Nagisa peered into my face. Grabbing my arm tightly, my head swayed slightly.

“I was conscious but kept moaning, and then I fell asleep… I kept saying we should call an ambulance.”

“Calling an ambulance is so over the top.”

“It’s not an exaggeration,” Kusakabe said as he approached the bed.

Maybe because of the situation, Nagisa says, “Kusakabe is right.”

Seeing that made my headache worse.

“Well, the teacher said it was probably just sleeping, so I’ve been keeping an eye on it like this.”

I nodded at Kusakabe’s words. Just as I was about to stand up, Nagisa stopped me.

“Still sleeping? Momoka collapsed, you know?”

“But…”

“Hey, Kusakabe! Hurry up and call the teacher!”

When Nagisa said it, Kusakabe replied, “Understood,” and left the infirmary.

What should I do?

Until recently, Nagisa wasn’t talking to Kusakabe like this.

Because I collapsed… During that time, did Nagisa get close to Kusakabe?

What should I do? What should I do, what should I do?

“Momoka, your complexion is really bad. Do you have a headache?”

Nagisa is leaning in closer.

I felt nauseous because the smell of the beach was mixed with the smell of the grass wall.

“Did you talk to that guy?”

You shouldn’t listen. It’s better not to listen. Even though I know that, I end up pressing for answers.

“That guy… are you talking about Kusakabe?”

I hate it. Just hearing Nagisa say Kusakabe’s name gives me the creeps.

“Well, I just talked normally, but…”

Saying that, Nagisa stared at me intently, as if trying to look into my heart.

“Momoka, could it be…”

Nagisa peeks into my face.

My heart raced at the distance so close that our lips almost touched.

“Do you dislike it when I talk to him?”

“……that is”

The moisture in my mouth is rapidly disappearing.

“Why? Why, Momoka, do you hate it when I talk to him?”

I’m scared that Nagisa might end up liking Kusakabe… I can’t say that.

Because I’m scared that even the slightest possibility might arise within Nagisa.

“Tell me, Momoka.”

With a creak, the door to the infirmary opened. The teacher and Kusakabe entered the infirmary.

“I brought the teacher.”

Nagisa directed her gaze towards Kusakabe. Just that alone made her want to cry.

No. Hey, Nagisa, stop it.

Don’t look at Kusakabe.

“You look quite pale.”

The teacher is approaching. I could only nod.

I want to escape from this space quickly. I want to take Nagisa and go far away from Kusakabe.

“Are you going to call your parents?”

“Ah, um… yes.”

“Understood. You all can go home now.”

The moment the teacher spoke, I instinctively grabbed Nagisa’s arm.

No way. Letting the two of them go together is absolutely not allowed.

“……Don’t go, Nagisa.”
