In My Second Life, I'll Do Everything To Win You Over—My Beloved Childhood Friend Will Never Be Given To Anyone Else - Episode 30

“Momoka, are you feeling better now?”

As soon as we met, Nagisa said that and peered into my face.

“Yeah. I slept a lot.”

“That’s good. But you shouldn’t push yourself too hard. How about we skip cheerleading practice together today?”

Nagisa, who laughed brightly, was as usual to the point of being surprising.

But I can’t get yesterday out of my head, so I respond with an awkward smile.

“…What if I refuse?”

“Eh? Should I invite Kusakabe too?”

If you look at Nagisa’s face, you can tell that he’s just joking and not serious.

But I don’t have the luxury to just laugh off this joke.

In my mind, there are countless snapshots of the two of you smiling happily together.

“I’m skipping today’s practice.”

“Right? What should we do? Should we invite Kusakabe too?”

“I prefer the two of us.”

Understood.

Nagisa laughed lightly. I was completely under her control.

Because of me, Nagisa might have become more interested in Kusakabe than before.

But, it doesn’t mean you’re a romantic interest, right?

Even though I understand, my heart races with anxiety.

“Momoka, is there anywhere you want to go?”

“A cool place would be nice. It’s hot.”

“How about a café? Or would you prefer coming over to my place? No one will be home until my brother comes back today.”

It’s not just my imagination that Nagisa’s smile looks unusually provocative.

Are you teasing me for fun?

Maybe Nagisa has already noticed my feelings. After all, she must have seen my unusual jealousy towards Kusakabe.

Well, they probably don’t know how much I love Nagisa, and it’s unclear whether they understand it in a romantic sense.

“Don’t you want to be alone together?”

Nagisa linked arms with me as if seeking affection.

Our sweaty skin sticks together, and it feels somehow unsettling.

There is a possibility that Nagisa is teasing me.

But what benefit would that bring to Nagisa?

“Peach Blossom”

“…What?”

“If we can be alone together, will we kiss again?”

I really can’t tell what Nagisa is thinking with that sweet smile.

The only thing I understand is one thing.

It’s just that I can’t resist the temptation to kiss Nagisa.

“to do”

♡

“Here you go.”

When I took my seat, Kusakabe handed me a frozen sports drink.

I wonder if it’s something I bought at the nearby convenience store. It’s still quite cold.

“Is it okay?”

“Yeah. Are you feeling better now?”

“Thank you. I slept well yesterday, so I’m feeling fine.”

I tried to drink a sports drink and opened the cap of the bottle, but it was frozen and I couldn’t drink it yet.

Seeing me like that, Kusakabe laughed, and then Nagisa chimed in, “Hey.”

“Don’t I get one?”

While looking at the sports drink, Nagisa said that sulkily.

“Well, yeah. Momoka-chan is special.”

Looking at me, Kusakabe smiled sweetly. The sweet smile was awkward, and I quietly averted my gaze.

“Hmm. Well then, Momoka, could you give me a bite?”

“……It’s fine. But it’s still frozen and can’t be drunk.”

“It’s fine!”

Nagisa forcibly took the plastic bottle from me. She put her mouth to the bottle, but of course, she couldn’t drink anything at all.

“I accidentally had an indirect kiss with Momoka.”

With a smug look on his face, Nagisa placed his hand on my shoulder.

“Because Touka and I are especially close.”
