In My Second Life, I'll Do Everything To Win You Over—My Beloved Childhood Friend Will Never Be Given To Anyone Else - Episode 45

“It’s unbelievable…!”

I shouted loudly and hit the pillow repeatedly. After hitting the pillow for a while, I finally started to calm down.

“Why did you say you were going on a date with Kusakabe, Momoka?”

Their date isn’t set in stone yet. But it’s not just a matter of me winning the test…

The fact that Momoka said it was okay to go on a date with Kusakabe. That’s the real problem.

What were you thinking, Momoka, accepting Kusakabe’s proposal?

There’s no way Momoka could like Kusakabe.

Even so, why did I say we should go on a date?

Slowly exhaling, I try to sort out the current situation and my feelings.

But my brain isn’t working well.

“Momoka’s idiot”

It would have been better if you had properly turned down the date invitation at that time.

Did you really think I wouldn’t mind? There’s no way, right? You must have known for sure.

After hitting the pillow one more time, I take a deep breath to calm myself down.

Annoying. Annoying, but… if I think about it calmly, I don’t have the right to refuse Momoka going on a date with Kusakabe.

Touka and I are childhood friends and best friends. But it’s not just that; we’ve even kissed in ways that ordinary friends wouldn’t.

But the name that describes our relationship is still childhood friends.

Just being childhood friends isn’t enough to keep Momoka tied down forever.

If I cry and scream, “Don’t go on a date with Kusakabe,” Momoka will probably cancel the promise right away.

Touka will definitely prioritize me.

But from now on, is it really okay to just keep saying that?

Is it really okay to keep binding Momoka without any convincing reason?

What if Momoka and I were a couple?

If we were lovers, I could confidently say, “Don’t date anyone else.”

Kissing and doing more than that are both normal things.

“If I could date Momoka…”

Someday, I won’t have to worry about Momoka getting a boyfriend and drifting away.

By monopolizing Momoka, I can officially make her mine.

“But is this love?”

I don’t want to give Momoka to anyone else. I don’t want anyone to touch her, and I don’t want her to be touched by anyone.

I don’t want you to make anyone more important than me.

I want to see all kinds of expressions. I want to see more and more of the face of Touka that only I know.

If someone had asked for my advice, I would have surely declared that this is love right away.

But originally, we were childhood friends, and we were really close.

Just as I let out a sigh, my phone buzzed.

I hurriedly check the screen. It’s a call from Momoka.

“Hello?”

“Ah… Nagisa. Do you have a moment?”

“Yeah. What’s up?”

“About today. Sorry, but it turned out that I had to compete with Yuki-kun in the test.”

Just hearing Yuki-kun’s name from Momoka makes me irritated.

“Why did you agree to such conditions?”

“Since Nagisa was reluctant… I thought that under those conditions, Nagisa might be more motivated to study.”

Indeed, that might be the case. If what was at stake were things like lunch or snacks, I might have given up early on.

“So, for me? You don’t want to go on a date with Kusakabe, right?”

“That’s right.”

I feel relieved by Momoka’s response. But I’m still not fully convinced.

“If I lose, will you really go on a date with me?”

“Well, we did make a promise, after all.”

What is that? Is a promise with Kusakabe something that has to be kept so strictly?

Even though I hate it this much?

Peach Blossom

“What?”

Just imagining Momoka going on a date with Kusakabe makes my body tremble with anger.

Kusakabe, feeling bold, might suddenly take my hand, and might even ask for more.

Momoka can be quite easily swayed, you know…

In the first place, I can’t stand the thought of Momoka spending time alone with someone who isn’t me.

“Starting tomorrow, teach me every day.”

I will do whatever it takes to stop their date.

For me right now, this is the most important thing.
