In My Second Life, I'll Do Everything To Win You Over—My Beloved Childhood Friend Will Never Be Given To Anyone Else - Episode 56

“See you, Momoka. I’ll contact you again!”

“Yeah, see you later.”

The fact that Momoka, who waved her hand, had a haggard look on her face was probably not just my imagination.

Maybe I went a bit too far.

I wanted to show Kusakabe, so I kissed Momoka in that place.

Stop! It wouldn’t have been strange if I had been rejected… I think.

But Touka accepted me.

How far will Momoka accept me?

How far do I want Momoka to accept me?

The test ended without any issues, and I was able to prevent Momoka and Kusakabe’s date.

Isn’t it about time I properly come to a conclusion about my feelings?

Lying on the bed, I open the image folder on my smartphone. I switched to my current model when I was in the second year of middle school.

There are various photos, but almost all of them have Momoka in them.

Even if I check the previous generation smartphone, it will probably be the same.

In the first place, the timing when I bought my first smartphone was also with Momoka.

“I guess I can’t keep going on like this forever.”

Surely, we will go to different universities and get jobs at different companies.

Becoming an adult, maybe that’s what it means.

“But what if things don’t go well if I date Momoka?”

Just because they are a close friend, it doesn’t mean things will go well if you start dating.

If we break up, won’t we even lose the chance to be friends again?

“Ugh, seriously…!!”

My head is getting all tangled up, so I hit the pillow with all my might.

“I wish Momoka would just confess to me.”

I like Nagisa. I want us to date as a couple.

If Momoka says that, I think I would probably nod right away.

In short, I am afraid of changing the relationship between the two of us.

“By the way, Momoka, what do you want to happen between us?”

Touka probably likes me, and she dislikes it when I get along with someone else.

We even kissed multiple times.

But, I’ve never been told that someone wants to be my partner.

We haven’t said the definitive words to each other.

“Hmm”

What should I really do, I thought as I held my head in my hands, when my phone notification went off.

“Momoka!? …Oh, it’s Kusakabe. …What do you want?”

We have exchanged contact information just in case, but I rarely have personal interactions with Kusakabe.

Could it be about today? Did I show off too much?

Originally, I had the feeling of wanting to show off!

But I also realize that I might have gone too far.

When I cautiously opened the app, there was just a single message waiting for me.

“Can we meet up together next time?”

A simple message without emojis or stamps.

If it weren’t for Kusakabe, it might have even looked like a date invitation.

“Why me?”

I was about to reply “Why?” but then I stopped.

“Okay”

I replied curtly with just three characters. Kusakabe probably isn’t even waiting for my stamp.

I don’t know what Kusakabe is planning by wanting to meet me, or what he intends to say to me.

But if you have something to say, I’ll listen. And then, I’ll make it clear to you.

Momoka is mine.

To Kusakabe, we have no right to complain about our relationship.

“Alright, then, the day after tomorrow at 6 PM in front of the main gate of the school.”

A message from Kusakabe came again. I’ll just reply with “Understood.”

“It’s better to keep it a secret from Momoka, right?”
