In My Second Life, I'll Do Everything To Win You Over—My Beloved Childhood Friend Will Never Be Given To Anyone Else - Episode 36

Finally, today is the day of the sports festival.

As the weather forecast predicted, the sky is clear with not a single cloud. To be honest, I wished it were a bit more cloudy, but it’s much better than rain.

“Is this okay?”

Looking in the mirror, I slightly adjust the position of the hair clip.

It’s a hair clip I bought to match with Nagisa.

We started talking about wanting to match our hairstyles too, so today we went with half-twins. This way, even though our hair lengths are different, we can still match.

To prevent my makeup from smudging due to sweat, I changed my makeup just a little bit from usual. Today, I want to stay cute all day.

In the previous life, during the cheerleading practice, Nagisa became close with Kusakabe. After that, they started hanging out together, and during summer vacation, Kusakabe confessed, and they began dating.

It’s different now. So, I should be able to change the future properly.

Today, I have to make sure that the distance between the two of us doesn’t suddenly close in.

After that, I need to appeal to Nagisa a lot too.

Nagisa has a possessive desire towards me. It seems she has no aversion to kisses or other forms of affection.

The problem is how to make progress from here.

“Momoka, let’s take a picture!”

As soon as they met, Nagisa said that and took out their smartphone.

“Morning is when I’m the cutest, so I have to make sure to take a proper picture.”

“Yeah”

After taking several photos, Nagisa nodded with satisfaction. “Let’s go,” he said, and naturally took my hand.

It’s perfectly normal for close friends to hold hands.

But.

“Momoka, are you perhaps feeling nervous?”

With a teasing smile, Nagisa leaned in to look at my face. I looked utterly flustered in Nagisa’s eyes.

Even though it’s my second life, I have no leeway at all.

“So, what if I said that?”

When I replied in a trembling voice, Nagisa’s eyes widened in surprise. Did he think I would say something like, “That’s not true”?

“Yeah… maybe I’ll do it this way.”

Nagisa suddenly intertwined our fingers like lovers. Pulling me, who had become speechless, he started walking briskly.

“When we get to school, let’s take a picture in our uniforms.”

“Yeah. I’ll take it.”

Thump, thump, my heart is noisy.

I’m the only one who’s all flustered over Nagisa.

How can I make Nagisa’s heart race too?

♡

“We got matching hairstyles.”

When I arrived at the classroom, Kusakabe immediately noticed. It seemed like Kusakabe was also pumped up for the sports festival, with a slightly different hairstyle than usual.

Cool… You don’t think that, do you, Nagisa?

When I became anxious and couldn’t help but look at Nagisa, our eyes met.

“Let’s do our best at the sports festival.”

Kusakabe smiled gently and said, “See you later,” as she took her change of clothes and headed to the changing room. The moment she stepped into the hallway, she was approached by girls from another class.

I have always disliked Kusakabe.

The man I hate the most took away the girl I love dearly.

But Kusakabe… Yuki-kun is not a bad person. In fact, he’s kind and a good person. He even looks cool.

Now I understand why Nagisa chose Yuki-kun.

Nagisa… must have been happy after marrying Yuki-kun.

Yet, I am trying to hurt Nagisa by committing suicide on the day of the wedding and going back to the past to take away her ordinary happiness.

Sorry, Nagisa.

But I just can’t help it, I just can’t help it, I love Nagisa so much.

“Momoka? What’s wrong?”

“No, it’s nothing. Just a bit hot.”

“Are you okay? If you start feeling even a little unwell, let me know right away.”

“Yeah. Thank you.”

I want Nagisa to fall in love with me and become a couple.

That wish remains unchanged even now.

But thinking that it’s okay just to be in a relationship is wrong.

I have to make Nagisa happier than anyone else, even more than Yuki-kun.
