In My Second Life, I'll Do Everything To Win You Over—My Beloved Childhood Friend Will Never Be Given To Anyone Else - Episode 68

“……Touka”

Sighing slowly, Nagisa felt restless as the gondola seemed to be arriving at the ground.

“Too late.”

Saying that, Nagisa suddenly hugged me tightly. The gondola shook violently as a result.

“Nagisa. Are you going to respond?”

“Of course, yes! That’s obvious!”

Nagisa’s scream and the gondola’s arrival at the ground were almost simultaneous. The attendant opened the door, and she hurriedly got off the gondola.

The moment we got off, Nagisa tightly grasped my hand.

“Hey Momoka, want to ride again?”

Nagisa gazes at me with sparkling eyes.

I’ve been looking into these eyes for a long time, but it’s the first time they reflect me as a lover. That’s not all.

Holding hands as lovers, talking as lovers, it’s all the first time.

What should I do? I’m so happy that I don’t know what kind of face to make at a time like this.

“To ride”

♡

“Still, confessing on a Ferris wheel, Momoka is such a romantic, isn’t she?”

While gazing at the scenery outside, Nagisa says with a cheerful voice. Since we couldn’t enjoy the view earlier, riding the Ferris wheel again like this isn’t so bad.

Well, my mind is still filled with Nagisa, so I can’t really think about the scenery.

“I wanted to choose a good place because it will stay in my memory forever.”

“So, why did you insist on August 25th? Is there something special about today? Like a lucky day or something?”

“Well, I don’t know if it’s a lucky day or not… but anyway, today was great.”

“Hmm?”

It’s clear that Nagisa is not convinced. But regarding this, I can’t provide a satisfactory explanation.

I can’t say the truth anyway.

“Well then, Momoka. Now that your long-cherished wish has come true and today is the anniversary, how do you feel?”

He made a fist with his right hand, pretending it was a microphone, and held it up to my mouth.

These kinds of things are super cute too, aren’t they?

Her face, her personality, her gestures—everything about Nagisa is cute. Just thinking that such a Nagisa has become my girlfriend makes me unable to stop grinning. I want to shout at the top of my lungs and brag to the whole world right now.

“I think I’ll keep doing my best and living on.”

“What is that?”

Haha, Nagisa laughs. She can laugh like that because she doesn’t know that I once gave up on life.

“I know you wanted today to be a special day for us, but if you had told me a bit earlier, we could have enjoyed the summer vacation as a couple.”

Nagisa said, pouting her lips. She was pretending to sulk, but her voice was still cheerful, and I realized that, just like me, Nagisa was also happy.

“Sorry. But there will be summer vacations next year, the year after, and until you become a working adult, right?”

“That’s true. So, make sure to hang out properly next year too, okay? Don’t say you’re too busy with exams!”

“Yeah, I promise.”

“Well, you don’t have to push yourself too hard. But if you don’t want to hang out, I’ll just drop by your house anytime.”

After a soft laugh, Nagisa looked at me with feverish eyes.

“Aren’t we almost at the top?”

Yeah, no need for a response. Silently, I gently kiss Nagisa.

I have kissed Nagisa countless times already.

But this is the first time we’re kissing as lovers.

I will never let Nagisa go. I won’t hand her over to anyone.

With my life on the line, I will make Nagisa truly happy.

“I love you, Nagisa.”
