Lonely Me and the Lonely Caring Goddess

Chapter 90 – Anxiety

“Takanashi-kun, you’re in the Student Council, right?”

I was on my way to the student council together with Takanashi-san when someone approached us.

It was Takanashi-san who was called out, and not me. She was a female student whom I’d seen before and seemed friendly.

“Hello, Shinjo-san. Are you heading to the tennis club?”

“Ehehe~ How did you know?”

“Of course I know. You’re an avid supporter of Natsumi-senpai.”

Since the sports festival, Takanashi-san has often been approached like this.

There were different people from different classes that talked to him. But when I asked who they were, Takanashi-san replied, “I don’t know them.” 

Looking at his face, it doesn’t seem to be a lie.

The thing that I am curious about, however, is why most are girls…

Moreover, they are talking to each other much friendlier than usual today.

Come to think of it, they were classmates, so maybe that’s why?

And I feel uncomfortable when I see Takanashi-san chuckling and talking with other girls.

This has never happened before. I dislike girls being too close and talking casually to Takanashi-san…

And Takanashi-san himself, who smiles and talks to other girls…

What is this feeling?

I hate myself for having such feelings for my beloved Takanashi-san…

“Over here, Onii-chan!”

“Okay, wait for me~!”

“Kyahaha~!”

Mio-chan was happily running as I slowly chased her. Her hair was tied up in a small knot, shaking cutely.

“Mio-cha~n, don’t run so fast!”

Todo-san called out to Mio-chan with a worried look.

I am also concerned about how children run recklessly since they might get hurt.

As I was on the way back from shopping, I was hugged from behind by Mio-chan.

Todo-san and Mio-chan were taking a walk at Mio-chan’s request, and I joined them.

And currently, we are playing in the neighborhood park.

While thinking about how well she maintained her running balance, Mio-chan fell.

“Mio-chan!?”

I rushed over to Mio-chan and helped her up. She had a delicate expression that made it seem she might cry if I wasn’t careful. I hurriedly took her in my arms and rubbed her reddened knees.

“Yosh! Pain, pain, go away~”

“Mio-chan’s a strong girl! You’re a big girl, don’t cry!”

When Todo-san and I rushed to the Mio-chan, her crying face disappeared, and instead, she showed us her smiling face.

“Mio-chan is amazing!”

——————————————

“Huh? Takanashi-kun, Mio-chan and… who is that girl?”

Natsumi saw Takanashi-san playing in the park with the others and exclaimed.

Upon hearing that, I looked at the park and saw Takanashi-san holding Mio-chan, who had fallen down.

Then, a girl nearby ran over to Takanashi-san and started patting Mio-chan’s head, who was being held by Takanashi-san.

Who is that… over-familiar girl?

No, I shouldn’t assume. If she was related to Mio-chan, it is no wonder that she was acquainted with Takanashi-san.

It is not good to assume things, such as her being over-familiar.

Right now, it appeared that the two of them were nursing Mio-chan, who fell down so that she did not cry.

Again… What is this feeling…?

“Arara, it’s like what he did with someone else earlier.”

Natsumi looked at me and grinned.

Someone else… Perhaps she is referring to the time when Takanashi-san and I were fussing over Mio-chan before.

That’s right, it looked like this from the corner at that time, didn’t it?

Eh…?

So that means…

Takanashi-san was now doing the same thing with another girl that he did with me.

And he was smiling and laughing with another girl, having fun. They seemed to be getting along well. 

So it meant that any woman besides me could give the same thing to Takanashi-san.

And maybe, unbeknownst to me, what I want to do with Takanashi-san, may have been done by another woman…

I hate it.

I hate to see it.

I was the one who was always with Takanashi-san. Why are you trying to take my place?

Please stop. Stay away. That’s my place… my special place.

And please don’t smile at her like that, Takanashi-san…
