In My Second Life, I'll Do Everything To Win You Over—My Beloved Childhood Friend Will Never Be Given To Anyone Else - Episode 7

The man named Yuki Kusakabe is easy to get along with.

I thought I was too much of an extrovert, but actually, that’s not the case.

In fact, it’s kind even to introverts like me.

Good looks, good personality, and on top of that, tall… This person is definitely popular.

In fact, not only in high school, but Kusakabe is popular even as a university student and as a working adult.

The main reason for the fight between Nagisa and Kusakabe was that Kusakabe was getting too close to other women.

It seems that Kusakabe said it was just a friend, not cheating…

“Even if it’s not cheating, making me feel insecure is the worst thing a boyfriend can do, right!?”

On the shore, how many times have I been cried to like that?

Each time, I told him, “Why don’t you stop seeing that kind of guy?”

But in the end, Nagisa chose to marry Kusakabe.

“Momoka-chan, shall we go to the library?”

Kusakabe, who is like that, is now giving me a sweet smile.

Today is my first time being on counter duty. Although, it’s just for two hours after school.

The job involves returning and lending books. Since the library isn’t very busy, I’ll probably just be sitting most of the time.

“Yeah”

“Wait, Momoka!”

When I stood up, Nagisa hurriedly ran over.

“Today, Momoka, you’re on library duty, right?”

“Yeah”

So I’ve already told them that I can’t go home together today.

“Is it okay if I wait in the library?”

“Huh?”

“Is it no good?”

There’s no way it’s not okay. I’m so happy that you waited just to walk home together.

But…

I’m worried that you might not be talking to Kusakabe.

“Could it be that you made plans to go home together with that guy?”

Nagisa’s gaze at Kusakabe is very sharp. It’s rare for Nagisa to look at someone like this.

“I’m not doing it.”

“That’s good. No matter how you look at it, that guy seems to have a thing for Momoka.”

Nagisa puffs out her cheeks in dissatisfaction.

Right now, Nagisa definitely doesn’t think well of Kusakabe, does she?

In her first life, Nagisa had positive feelings towards Kusakabe even before they became close.

He has a look that is very popular with women, and he is also very personable.

But now, Nagisa is glaring at Kusakabe.

As I thought, the plan to get close to Kusakabe first was a success…!

“That kind of flashy guy doesn’t suit Momoka at all.”

Saying it as if spitting it out, Nagisa tightly grasped my hand.

♡

The library after school is quiet. There are people in the study area, but everyone is studying quietly.

Nagisa was also sitting there, as if doing homework.

That said, they keep looking over here and waving, so I’m not sure if they’re actually making progress on their homework.

“Momoka-chan, you’re really close with Fujiwara-san, aren’t you?”

“Yeah. We’re childhood friends.”

“Wow. I didn’t expect you to get along so well since you don’t seem like the same type at all.”

Indeed, Nagisa and I are not alike.

I even think it’s a miracle that Nagisa, who is cheerful and has many friends, has always been my best friend.

“Is there a reason or event that brought you two closer together?”

“I don’t think there was a clear trigger. Nagisa called out to me when I was alone, and then it felt like we were together from there.”

Nagisa and I were in kindergarten together.

I have always been introverted and was the kind of child who would draw pictures or read picture books alone.

Nagisa called out to me like that and invited me to hang out together.

“If Nagisa hadn’t been there, I would have turned out completely different.”

That’s why I couldn’t forgive the thought of losing Nagisa… of Nagisa becoming someone else’s.

I see, Kusahebi nodded, and at that moment, Nagisa stood up and came over to the counter.

“I want to borrow a book, Momoka, do you have any recommendations?”
