When I Grabbed a Cute Girl’s Weakness, I Threatened Her to Be My Girlfriend, But She’s Too Wholesome

Chapter 28 – I Want My Wholesome Girlfriend to be Happy

Ah… I’ve done it again…

When I calmed myself down, I realized what I’ve done. Stroking a girl’s head is a technique only allowed to handsome men. I ended up using that technique on Kotone-chan.

If we were to name this technique, ‘Nadepo’ would be perfect. Its effect is that just by stroking a girl’s head, her favorability rating will skyrocket. What’s up with that? Isn’t that a bug?

Once again, only good-looking people are allowed to use this technique. Unfortunately, it doesn’t apply to me. If I did, I’d be passed on to the girl network later. I’ll be blacklisted as a misunderstanding creep.

“Yuji-senpai, I’m fine now. Thank you for patting my head the whole time.”

But when Kotone-chan stopped crying, she thanked me.

I have a bad habit of needlessly acting cool. Kotone-chan is really kind to accept even that.

So, well, I just wanted her to be happy, I guess.

What was smoldering inside Kotone-chan…

It was hard to verbalize, she told me with a stutter.

Kotone herself didn’t seem to think of it as a noble problem that she could talk about with someone else. She seemed to think of it as my trivial talk. It wasn’t like that at all.

I wasn’t attacked by anyone. I was just told that I was inferior, that I wasn’t good enough. That’s what I thought.

If it’s you who’s not good enough, then it’s you who needs to change. It’s wrong to complain about someone who’s better than you.

If you were to seriously complain, you would face a storm of backlash. That’s not an exaggeration. People who are united are strong. You often hear phrases like ‘One for all…’.

“It’s almost dark, let’s go home.”

“Yes.”

By the time I finished listening to Kotone-chan’s story, quite some time had passed.

“I’m taking you home. Because I’m your boyfriend.”

“…Yes. I’ll be in your care.”

I didn’t get turned down today.

Kotone-chan is smiling at me. It was a smile so cute you couldn’t say she was a bad girl.

We left the park, walking along the road dyed in madder red. The outside world is so lively that I wonder if I was just in a completely different world just a moment ago.

It was busier at the station, with lots of adults on their way home from work. I hope to get a job in the future where I don’t have to go out.

We rode the train. I chatted with Kotone-chan, fell silent and chatted again. We talked about nothing but trivial things.

We were chatting without awkwardness. Even the silent moments didn’t feel awkward. I’m a bit surprised at how natural it feels to spend time together.

“We’re getting off here.”

That’s what Kotone-chan told me. It’s not my first time, so I remember. But it’s only the second time I’ve walked her home, so her willingness to put it into words is a testament to her kindness.

It’s about a ten-minute walk from the station to Kotone-chan’s house, and I remember the way perfectly.

“……”

“……”

Just one more turn and we would be at Kotone-chan’s house. When we reached there, Kotone-chan did not stop.

The last time I was able to see her off was only up to this point. So she’s letting me accompany her all the way to her house… This change makes me a little happy.

“This is my home.”

Kotone-chan showed me an ordinary house.

It was nothing special. It blends in with the residential area. It looks like the kind of house that could be anywhere, where a normal family would live.

“Um, thank you very much for taking me home.”

“Yeah. You’re welcome.”

I took her home. I was relieved that everything went without a hitch.

The moment I thought that, the front door of Kotone-chan’s house opened.

“Oh my, Kotone. Welcome home.”

A beautiful woman with an almost perceptible air of warmth appeared.

Her incredible s*x appeal is something else… Her outstanding proportions appear to have even more volume than Fujisaki-san’s.

She looks vaguely like Kotone-chan. Is she her older sister? I didn’t hear anything about the Fujisaki family having three sisters.

“Mom, I’m home.”

It took quite a while for the words Kotone-chan uttered to penetrate my brain. It took more than a few seconds.

Did she just say “mother”?

The beautiful woman in front of me doesn’t look like she has children. I would estimate her to be in her late twenties at best.

But the way Kotone-chan treats her is convincing me that this lady is her mother. I feel like I’m witnessing a modern mystery.

“So, are you a friend of Kotone’s?”

She asked in a soft tone.

She’s Kotone-chan’s mother. I have to be firm here.

I straightened my back and took a deep breath. As I was about to open my mouth…

“What are you doing in front of the house?”

A voice came from behind me.

I didn’t have to look back to know. I’ve only met him once, but how could I forget?

Besides, Kotone-chan’s face in front of me became tense.

It seems like we coincidentally arrived at the exact moment when Fujisaki’s father came back home. I guess we have a 100% encounter rate with him. How compatible we are…but it’s not something I’d be too happy about.
