In My Second Life, I'll Do Everything To Win You Over—My Beloved Childhood Friend Will Never Be Given To Anyone Else - Episode 51

Swaying on the train, I gaze out at the scenery through the window. Nagisa, sitting next to me, fell asleep just after we passed the station two stops ago.

There is quite a distance from where we live to the sea.

I’m really glad I could sit down.

Since it’s summer vacation, the trains are quite crowded even at odd hours. If I hadn’t been lucky enough to get a seat, I would have been crushed by now.

Come to think of it, it might have been since elementary school that I’ve been to the beach and the sea.

I don’t like crowds, and I don’t like hot places either. I’m not good at swimming.

That’s why I’m not good with the sea. Nagisa knew that too, so she never invited me to the beach.

Kusakabe, we used to go to the beach or the pool often on our dates, right?

I was shown that lively photo a lot.

When I remember such things, my heart still feels heavy.

In this next life, I want to enjoy even the things I’m not good at with Nagisa.

♡

“Wow! The ocean!”

As soon as they left the station, Nagisa shouted loudly with excitement.

The sea stretching out before me is vast, and there are plenty of beach houses nearby.

“Momoka, hurry up and change so we can go to the beach!”

“Yeah”

There is a temporary changing room set up for a limited time near the station.

So, after changing into our swimsuits, we promised Kusakabe to meet on the beach.

♡

“A rash guard is quite hot, isn’t it?”

Because I’m already sweating, the fabric is sticking to my body and it’s uncomfortable.

If I only think about the heat, this is nothing; I want to take it off right now.

“Don’t take it off in front of Kusakabe, okay?”

Nagisa insists, as if to emphasize. It was something I was told repeatedly, even on the train.

If that’s the case, I should have worn a more plain swimsuit today.

“Is… Nagisa okay?”

“I’m fine. I don’t have a figure as good as Momoka’s anyway.”

Nagisa’s swimsuit is a one-piece type. At first glance, it looks like ordinary clothing.

It has a voluminous floral decoration at the chest, making it a glamorous swimsuit. The white and orange gradient is beautiful and suits the beach perfectly.

“Momoka really has a great figure, doesn’t she?”

Saying that, Nagisa gently reached out to my chest. When I took a step back and said, “Stop it,” Nagisa smirked.

“Whatever, it’s fine. If you act that way in the changing room, it’ll just make you stand out among the girls.”

With a mischievous look on his face, Nagisa pokes my chest. Even though I’m wearing a rash guard over it, underneath I’m in a swimsuit.

Moreover, in this situation where there are people around, I get more nervous than usual.

Could it be that Nagisa suggested going to the beach just to tease me like this?

“If I knead it, it might get even bigger.”

“Nagisa”

“Sorry, sorry. This kind of talk is for home, right?”

Yeah, it feels strange, and I can’t answer anything.

Did Nagisa seem satisfied to see me in trouble? She tightly grasped my hand.

“Well then, shall we go to Kusakabe’s place?”

“Yeah”

I wonder if today will be okay. I hope it ends without any issues.

No, I can’t just let things be. I need to work hard too if I want to become Nagisa’s girlfriend.

Leaving the changing room, I head towards the sandy beach. It took a little longer than expected to gather everyone, but I was able to meet up with Kusakabe without any issues.

“Momoka-chan, Fujimiya-san!”

The body of Kusakabe, who is waving his hand vigorously, is quite toned.

It’s no wonder people are glancing at me from the sidelines.

“Momoka. I’m looking forward to our date today.”

So that Kusakabe wouldn’t hear, Nagisa whispered softly in my ear.
