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

Chapter 83 - "I Think Favoritism is Wrong"

“―Ehehe~…”

Marin smiled adorably like a child as Yō stroked her head.

As Yō was stroking her head, he wondered if this is what it would be like to have a younger sister.

After a minute or so, Yō slowly pulled his hand away.

“Oh…”

Then Marin gave Yō a wistful look.

It seemed that she wanted him to pet her a little more.

But―

“So, Kasumi too…?”

Next to him, there was already a childhood friend with sparkling eyes who was looking forward to being petted. 

“Of course…!”

Kasumi nodded her head immediately in response to Yō’s question.

And then she held out her head.

“This is pretty embarrassing…”

“But in return, you have to keep your promise.”

“Yes, yes, I know.”

Yō had no choice but to start stroking Kasumi’s head.

Her hair was silky smooth to the touch, but as he continued stroking her head, Kasumi began to press her body against his, and Yō was concerned about the other two girls’ gazes.

The two of them were staring at Yō and Kasumi without looking away.

“Why are you both staring at me like that…?”

“No, if you’re doing that in front of me, I’m going to look.”

“Yes, I would also look.”

“…………”

It’s difficult to do this.

With this thought in mind, Yō returned his gaze to Kasumi.

“Ehehe, Yō~”

Before he knew it, Kasumi had her hands around Yō’s waist, smiling in a way that she never showed at school.

She was going to do whatever she wanted.

“Kasumi, just so you know, we’re in public.”

“You said you’d do it if we were in public…?”

“Why is Akimi giving me such an argumentative look…? I wouldn’t do it unless we’re not in public.”

“Is that really the case though…?”

Marin looked at him as if she wanted to say something.

She didn’t seem to believe Yō’s words at all.

“Think about it normally, do you think I would do that?”

“…Like what you’re doing right now…?”

Marin wanted to say, “What are you talking about when there is evidence that Kasumi is currently hugging you and you’re patting her on the head?”

The gaze of accusation would feel like heaven for those people that are into these kinds of interests.

But of course, Yō doesn’t have that kind of interest, so he pondered on how to clear up this misunderstanding.

Meanwhile, Kasumi was rubbing her cheeks.

“You can do it later, too, Marin-chan, okay?”

Then, Nagisa threw another bomb.

Yō glared at Nagisa with that thought, but Nagisa was already whistling as she looked out the window.

It’s like she just threw the bomb in and didn’t care about the rest.

“…………”

“No, Akimi? What are you thinking? Don’t do it, you’ll regret it.”

Yō had been glaring at Nagisa, but when Marin’s face turned red and she began to think about it, he immediately decided to restrain her.

He was sure that she wouldn’t do it, but Marin’s actions often went beyond Yō’s imagination.

That’s why he had to control her just in case.

“I think it’s wrong to favor only Nemoto-san.”

Yō’s decision to stop her, on the contrary, had solidified Marin’s will instead.

Because it made her feel unequal, that Kasumi was good and she was not.

“―Nagisa, I hate you, you know that?”

“I don’t care~.”
