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

“―You’re late.”

After the discussion with Marin, Yō arrived at home only to find Kasumi, waiting for him in her casual clothes, standing right in front of the door.

Yō opened his mouth, troubled by the sight of Kasumi in her highly revealing clothes.

“Sorry.”

Yō apologized briefly, not telling her what he was worried about.

He walked past Kasumi and started unlocking the door.

“Were you intentionally being hasty?”

“I didn’t mean to do that.”

Yō responds to Kasumi, who looks up at him in dissatisfaction, by shaking his head.

Today is the day of the appointment he had made with Kasumi.

Perhaps Kasumi, who was unaware of what Yō actually had in his mind, thought that she was being teased.

However―

“It’s open, come on in.”

“…”

When Yō opened the door, Kasumi’s eyes momentarily lit up, then she tugged on Yō’s sleeve and started to act sullenly.

Apparently, she wasn’t going to go in first.

Just then, Nya~san, who was always looking forward to Yō’s return, appeared at the door.

And then, it opened its mouth and squealed cutely.

Then―

“Nya~san!”

Where did the sullen attitude she had earlier go?

Kasumi’s excitement soared, and she jumped on Nya~san with a voice that she would never make at school.

“Meow~!”

“It’s been a while, Nya~san! You’re as cute as ever!”

“Meow, meow~!”

Kasumi rubbed her cheeks against Nya-san’s cheeks, and Nya-san happily rubbed them in return.

Nya~san seemed to be happy to see her again after a long time.

Yō thought to himself, as he watched Kasumi and Nya~san. 

(Girls really become different when they’re in front of a cat…)

―After that.

“Nya~san, Daifuku!”

“Meow~!”

“Nya~san, sweet pose!”

“Meow~!”

“Amazing, you remember everything! Goodie goodie!”

“Meow~!”

Nya~san posed correctly to the instructions given, and Kasumi stroked Nya~san’s head in a good mood.

In fact, it was actually Kasumi who taught Nya~san these tricks.

“I’ve brought snacks for you, too.”

“Meow~!”

When Kasumi took out a can of cat snack, Nya~san began to eat them in a good mood.

Watching her, Yō was reminded of the scene two years ago.

He felt a pleasant warm feeling.

“Why don’t you just play with Nya~san like this?”

“What, are you trying to break your promise?”

Seeing how Kasumi and Nya~san were acting, Yō said it in a benevolent way, but Kasumi took it the other way around and looked up at Yō with a murderous look in her eyes.

This caused Nya~san to run away from the hands of Kasumi and hide behind Yō.

“Ah! Nya~san ran away because of Yō!”

“No, that was your fault…”

While being annoyed by the complaining Kasumi, Yō picks up the poor frightened Nya~san and pats its head.

Then, Nya~san squinted it’s eyes as if it’s comfortable and pampered.

“…”

Kasumi looked at Yō and Nya~san enviously and began to tug on the sleeves of Yō’s clothes.

“What’s wrong?”

“Hurry up, room.”

When she looked up at him as if she was begging him, he gasped.

Then, he entrusted Nya~san to Kasumi.

“I’m going to change my clothes for now.”

He thought that he shouldn’t be carried away by the atmosphere, so he distanced himself from Kasumi.

Then…

“Meanie…”

Yō scratched the back of his head, seeing Kasumi’s sulking face, which reminded him of her back in the old days.

(This is a pattern of going back to the old ways on the sly…)
