In My Second Life, I'll Do Everything To Win You Over—My Beloved Childhood Friend Will Never Be Given To Anyone Else - Episode 59

“……I might be getting hungry soon.”

Nagisa started saying that around 10 PM.

Since Nagisa came to our house, we have exchanged very few words.

Hugging and kissing. As we kept repeating that, quite a bit of time passed.

“Shall we go to the convenience store? It’s already late, but we can just eat what’s at home.”

It’s already too late for a high school girl to be out and about. Besides, right now, I want to be close to Nagisa rather than going outside.

“What’s going on?”

“Frozen fried rice, ramen, and so on.”

“Ramen might be good.”

“I think so too.”

Even though it’s summer, the air-conditioned room is almost cold.

It goes perfectly with ramen.

“Well then, shall we make it?”

Prepare instant noodles and a pot. Since I used to eat them often when I was busy with work, I’m used to preparing ramen.

“……Touka, you’re quite efficient.”

“Really? Maybe I’m in a hurry because I’m hungry.”

Nagisa stared at me with a slightly puzzled expression. It’s no wonder Nagisa was puzzled.

When I was just an ordinary high school student, I wasn’t used to preparing my own meals.

Put the finished ramen into a bowl and carry it to the living room table.

We said “Itadakimasu” in unison and then started eating the ramen.

It’s not awkward, but there’s less conversation than usual. Still, we finished our meal sitting so close that our shoulders touched.

It’s a special sleepover. We can watch movies or anime all night, or play games if we want.

Even so, today I have no idea how I should behave from now on.

If Nagisa and I were lovers, how would we spend times like this?

Hugging, kissing… and then, should we just go ahead and make love?

“Peach Blossom”

“…What?”

“Do you want to take a bath together today?”

Nagisa stared at me intently and tightly grasped my hand.

I’ve taken a bath with Nagisa many times. After all, since we’re both women, it’s normal to bathe together when we go to a hot spring.

As expected, we haven’t been taking baths together in the cramped family bathroom recently, but when we were little, we used to.

We even changed in the same changing room when we put on our swimsuits, so we’re used to each other’s bodies.

…but.

With a flushed face, it’s the first time I’ve been invited like this while holding hands.

“I want to join…”

Thump, thump, my heart is loud. The excitement seems like it might be transmitted to Nagisa through our joined hands.

♡

“Momoka, aren’t you going to take it off?”

“I’m taking it off… What about you, Nagisa? Aren’t you going to take it off?”

We stared at each other in the changing room, and then we both averted our gazes.

When I changed into my swimsuit in the changing room, it didn’t turn out like this.

That said, I can’t just stand in the changing room forever. Steeling myself, I slowly take off my clothes.

“Well then, I’ll go in first.”

Unlike the hot springs, I couldn’t even cover my body with a towel. I hurriedly moved to the bathroom and turned on the shower for now.

What should I do?

I said we’d go in together, but can my heart handle this?

The bathroom door opened, and a naked Nagisa walked in. I couldn’t help but stare, and Nagisa laughed at me, saying I was staring too much.

“Shall we take a shower and wash up for now?”

“……Yeah”

Nagisa reaches for the shower. Since the bathroom isn’t very spacious, Nagisa’s outstretched arm touches my shoulder.

Just that makes my heart skip a beat.

“Hey, Momoka”

“W-what?”

“I’ll wash your back. And then…”

Looking into my eyes, Nagisa smiled mischievously.

When Nagisa came home, she wasn’t feeling well, so I’m relieved to see her back to her usual self, but I’m still so nervous.

“Shall I wash your hair too? It’s been a while.”

When we were little, we used to wash each other’s hair. But that was an extension of playing house, and it definitely had a different meaning than it does now.

“Yeah”

Nagisa probably knew that I would nod.

Seeing me all tense, Nagisa laughed happily.
