I Went Out With a Losing Heroine, But Before I knew It, My Childhood Friend, Who's Supposed to

Proofreader: Mowaso

　The next day, Yō took Marin to Ushimado once again, and the two of them enjoyed a day of sightseeing together.

　Marin may have been a little unhappy on their last visit yesterday, but today, she had been in a good mood the whole time, which had relieved Yō.

　On the other hand, the other one of the two beautiful girls was in a very bad mood, but he would have to live with that.

　At least, Yō knew that she would be in a better mood when the appointed day came.

　Kasumi may seem difficult, but she’s actually a simple woman.

　On Monday, after school, Yō called Haruki to the rooftop.

　And over there― the two most beautiful girls of the school were facing each other, attracting the attention of the students who were going to club activities and those who were going home.

(Why am I playing this role…?)

　Kasumi complained in her mind as she stared at the pretty blonde-haired, busty-loli girl in front of her, who was so cute that it made her jealous.

(I mean, isn’t that size weird!? You’ve got a lot of stuff in there, don’t you!?)

　The blonde-haired loli big-boobed beautiful girl in front of her― a certain part of Marin caught her attention, and Kasumi became jealous of her size, which was the complete opposite of hers.

　Considering her appearance and height, that was an impossible size to consider, and Kasumi was not convinced.

“Umm…?”

　Marin couldn’t hide her confusion when Kasumi suddenly stood in front of her, not only standing in front of her, but also staring at an important part of her.

　Although she dislikes Kasumi, she is not so stupid as to show it on her face.

　She wanted to smile and dismiss her, but she couldn’t do that because Kasumi was staring at her.

“Ah, I’m sorry. So, what and how much are you packing in there?”

“Erm, what are you talking about…?”

　Marin was even more perplexed by Kasumi’s words, which came out without any context.

　On the other hand, Kasumi turned her head away as if she had lost her temper.

“Forget about that.”

“Haa~…? So why am I being obstructed in my path…?”

“Obstruction is unpleasant to hear. We were just walking along and almost ran into each other, right?”

“…Well then, I’ll be on my way.”

　When Marin understood that Kasumi was not going to give her a proper answer, she bowed her head and tried to pass by Kasumi’s right side.

　However―.

“…”

　Kasumi stepped to the right and silently stood in front of Marin.

“…”

　So Marin then tried to go through the left side of Kasumi.

　However, this was also blocked by Kasumi.

　The students who were staring at her are all looking at each other in confusion, not knowing what she wants to do.

　They had a hunch that Marin was in a bad mood.

　And then Marin smiled and looked at Kasumi’s face.

“What are you trying to do?”

　The tone of Marin’s voice was a little lower than her usual cute voice.

　Kasumi didn’t seem to take any notice of Marin and opened her mouth in a matter-of-fact manner.

“It’s nothing, really.”

“Then, can you let me go? You don’t need to step aside, so please don’t block my path.”

“Please don’t say something rude like that. I’m trying to avoid you and you just happen to be doing the same thing, right?”

“Nemoto-san, you haven’t stepped forward at all, have you?”

“Ara, your eyes seem to be blind. I’m trying to move forward, you know?”

“”…………””

　When Marin wants to move on to another, Kasumi interferes as if to harass Marin.

　They fell silent and began to communicate with each other only with their eyes.

“―O-oi, someone stop them.”

“Idiot, then you should go stop them.”

“No, I don’t want to be spotted by those two.”

“But I’m telling you, this is gonna be a fight like last time, you know…?”

“Well, it’s already happening though…”

　The atmosphere was quite bad this time as well, with Kasumi throwing a tantrum at Marin.

　So each of the students said that they would try to stop them, but none of them tried to intervene between them.

　Naturally, the girls are the two most popular girls in the school caste.

　If you make an enemy of them, it will be a problem for the rest of your school life.

　Knowing this, the students leave it to others and push each other to stop them.

　And what do they do now― naturally, they start looking for someone who can stop them.

　But the person they thought of now was different from the last time.

“―Hey, someone go get Hazakura!

“That’s right, Hazakura! We just have to call him!”

“Hey, where is he now? Isn’t there anyone in the same class as him?

　When one of the students who were pushing each other to stop the quarrel mentioned Yō’s name, the students who were watching Marin and the others from afar started to mention Yō’s name.

　Both Marin and Kasumi reacted to their words, but Kasumi was the first to open her mouth.

“It’s already after school. Where do you think you’re going if not home?”

“I don’t know, I think it’s up to me to decide where I’m going.”

“That’s right. It’s just, I think he’s already gone, don’t you?”

(How come she’s aware of this…?)

　Marin does not show it on her face, but only in her heart she shows her black emotion.

　This time, Marin was going to go to his place to have a little talk with Yō.

　In doing so, she was stopped in her tracks by Kasumi.

“I think it’s fine. Since he’s always the last one to leave the classroom.”

“Well, then you’d better go there. He’s probably gone by now.”

　When she said that, Kasumi easily cleared the way.

　This made Marin feel very uncomfortable, but when she stepped out, Kasumi no longer blocked her way.

　This is the reason why Marin walked away quickly, partly because she was attracting attention.

(Good grief… You owe me big time for this, Yō.)

　Kasumi let out a big sigh as she looked at the back of Marin.

　Originally, Kasumi was popular because of her looks and talent, but everyone thought that she was a student with a difficult personality.

　She was very popular to some students with special tastes, but not as revered as Marin by the rest of the students.

　That’s why there are some students who say bad things about Kasumi, and that number has increased even more after the last time she got involved with Marin.

　And now this.

　In all honesty, her reputation among the students was probably going down the drain.

　But for the current Kasumi, it didn’t matter what people thought of her anymore.

　She had already gotten what she wanted, so she didn’t care about the mobs out there.

(Fufu, I wonder what I’ll have him do for me on our promised day…)

　Kasumi left the place with such thoughts in her mind.

　―Naturally, the students who were watching the suddenly good-tempered Kasumi looked at her as if they were looking at something unfathomable.
