In My Second Life, I'll Do Everything To Win You Over—My Beloved Childhood Friend Will Never Be Given To Anyone Else - Episode 34

“Good morning, Momoka-chan.”

When I looked her in the eye and smiled, Momoka-chan also returned the greeting with a “Good morning.”

I feel like I’ve gotten quite close to Momoka-chan.

At the beginning of the school year, they got close right from the first meeting, and I thought they were a friendly person or something like that.

But now, I realize it’s quite the opposite.

Momoka-chan is probably shy. And more than that, I think she’s the type who has little interest in others.

The one that Momoka-chan is clearly treating specially is Fujimiya-san.

Cool and composed Touka-chan, and the bright and lively Fujimiya-san.

At first glance, the two who seem to have no chemistry are childhood friends and get along extremely well.

But, is that all there is to it?

I’ve been suspecting lately that these two might be more than just childhood friends.

“Momoka-chan”

“What?”

Regarding yesterday’s practice, there wasn’t anything particularly new. The focus was mainly on practicing the performance.

There’s not much time left until the sports festival. It’s about time I properly memorize the parts I’ve only half-remembered.

“Good”

Touka-chan lets out a sigh of relief.

“Did you get to rest well, Momoka-chan? By the way, did you hang out with Fujimiya-san?”

The moment Fujimiya’s name was mentioned, Momoka-chan’s cheeks turned red.

He immediately looked down as if to hide his face, but I could tell.

Since I entered school, I’ve always been looking at Momoka-chan’s profile.

“Momoka-chan and Fujimiya-san really get along well, don’t they?”

“…because we are childhood friends.”

“When you hang out with Fujimiya, what do you usually do?”

Poor, shaken-up Momoka-chan placed her right hand on her chest.

“What happened all of a sudden, Yuki-kun?”

“You’re the complete opposite type, so I was just curious about what you were doing… Is something wrong?”

“No, I was just a bit surprised. We’re just talking, that’s all.”

I nodded, pretending to agree. Suddenly feeling a gaze, I turned around and there was Fujimiya-san.

When our eyes meet, she immediately looks away and looks at Momoka-chan.

I was horrified by Fujimiya-san’s face as she stared at the shaken Touka-chan.

It’s a face that looks triumphant and relieved. Yet, the way he gazes at Momoka-chan is so sweet it makes my stomach churn.

At the beginning of the school year, Fujimiya-san wasn’t the kind of person to make this kind of face.

I wonder what happened between the two of them during that time.

“What were you talking about?”

While laughing, Fujimiya-san leans against my desk. The fact that Momoka-chan instantly frowned is definitely not just my imagination.

Because you like me, you’re jealous… I might have misunderstood that a little while ago.

As expected, it’s impossible right now.

That day… the day Momoka-chan collapsed from the heat, I wonder what the two of them were talking about.

I wonder why Momoka-chan was crying.

“The story about how close the two of them are.”

When I answered playfully, Fujimiya-san smiled with satisfaction.

As if to show off to me, I wrap my hand around Momoka-chan’s waist.

Momoka-chan’s face, which reacted with a start, is still as red as ever.

“Yeah. We’re really close.”

Saying it with a triumphant air, Fujimiya-san pulled Momoka-chan’s hand and made her stand up.

“Momoka, let’s go to the bathroom.”

Even though they’re high school students, there’s an atmosphere between them that makes it impossible to tease them about going to the bathroom together.

These two are definitely not just childhood friends.
