A Cheeky Childhood Friend Found a Suicide Note I’d Written for Fun a Long Time Ago, and as a Result, She Suddenly Became Very Clingy and Wouldn’t Leave Me
After finishing lunch we headed down to the neighborhood department store we frequent.
I don’t know if it’s because it’s the New Year or because it’s winter break…… There seemed to be more people than usual. It would be a big problem if we got lost.
“Sarina chan, I’ll hold your hand.”
“Yes, Onii sama. …..Let’s hold hands, Onee sama too.”
“Ah~~! ! Serito, I want her to be my little sister too ! ! !”
“I know she’s cute, but don’t accidentally crush her hand.”
“O0of course I won’t ! !”
As soon as I heard these words, I could see Sarina chan’s face tinged with despair. Kaori desperately tried to plead her case and succeeded in holding hands, but she was stared at.
But three people on a holiday. A child with a man and a woman walking hand in hand, this is……
“A married couple and a child, just like that.”
“S-Sarina chan !? E-ehehe….she said it, Serito♪”
“So what. You’ll lose if you’re worried.”
“What are you losing, Onii sama?”
“My own weakness of heart, I guess.”
“I don’t understand.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Gghh.”
I knew I shouldn’t play it cool.
With damage not only to my stomachs but also to my heart, we walked through the department store to the arcade.
We finally arrived at the arcade, but it was still a place filled with ear piercing noise. Would Sarina chan really be happy in a place like this?
“Oh, oh……! It’s real…..! ! I’m so excited ! !”
I thought she might get sick of the noise, but it seems that’s not the case. She seems to be getting excited, waving her hands in the air.
She still has a poker face, but I felt like there were more highlights in her eyes than usual.
“Onii sama, let’s start with the crane game. Let’s try it. I learned that the basic strategy is to steal everything.”
“If we take everything, the arcade would be troubled, right? And, most of the time, it’s……”
No, if I tell her that most of them are not designed to be taken, I might ruin her dreams. Let’s not interfere too much and let her have fun.
I swallowed my words and put a thousand yen bill into the money changer to get a large number of 100 yen coins and handed them to her.
“Pick out the one you like.”
“Yes, thank you.”
I run around the machine and look at the many crane game prizes.
After running around for a while, we stopped in front of a crane game machine. It was a large stuffed giant bug, or perhaps this is what she wanted. The back side of it was grotesque.
“I want it !”
(I knew it……)
She glanced in my direction, so I nodded, without saying a word.
Without hesitation, Sarina chan threw in a hundred-yen coin and began to operate the crane with an inexperienced hand. And I tried several times, but it was still an arcade crane game. It is a game with devilish specifications.
“I-I can’t get it….. Is this the frustration of life….”
“I think you’re taking it too seriously.”
“……Sarina chan, let’s try one more time. I’ll hold your hand this time.”
Unable to bear seeing Sarina chan looking like she was about to cry, Kaori reaches out her hand.
Once again, the 100-yen coin was inserted, and this time Kaori operated the machine with her hand on it. The crane swung, but it hooked nicely onto the giant flying squirrel tag, and then.
–Bang !
“I-I got it…..! !”
“Congratulations, Sarina chan. I knew you had the skill. I was almost useless !”
“Kaori Onee sama……!”
She hugged the giant isopod stuffed animal she had removed tightly and gave Kaori a passionate look, but eventually she began to hug not only the stuffed animal but also the scent.
Kaori was smiling a derogatory smile as she was melting like slime. It was a little creepy.
Kaori is good with children, and she can do anything except study.
Admiring my childhood friend, we follow this little tomboy’s next request.
This time, she wants to play a coin-operated game of horse racing. But there was trouble.
“Hey, you little shit ! This is our territory !”
“That’s right !”
“If you want to use it, you’re going to have to pay for it !”
The kids hanging out here got involved.
“Don’t we all own this place?”
“It’s mine ! !”
“And she’s got a creepy stuffed animal too ! !”
–Dodododo ! ! !
Those brats didn’t seem to notice, but their pressure points were being pressed at a speed that was both invisible and imperceptible.
If it wasn’t for me, they would have missed it.
“Like I said……ah, uwaaaa !!? I-I’ve got a sudden stomach ache ! !”
“M-me, too !”
“Where’s the toilet !”
The little shits walked away while holding their butts……
“Kaori, by the way, what kind of pressure points did you press?”
“Hmm? A pressure point that makes you wanna go to the toilet. And it works fast.”
“……I’m really glad you’re not my enemy…..”
“Ehehe, what are you talking about, Serito? I’ll always be on your side no matter what♪”
A very reassuring ally. If she crosses over to the enemy, I really have no choice but to use my brains to win.
We were able to exterminate them safely, and when I turned my face to Sarina chan, I saw her sparkling eyes.
“Amazing Onee sama……! A true strong person ! I wanna be strong too.”
“To become strong, you should make someone you love so much that you feel you have to protect them no matter what.”
“I see. Then I’ll protect you, Onii sama. Swoosh swoosh.”
“I see. That’s reassuring. I’m counting on you.”
When I patted her head gently, she smiled again.
The second angel was born early. This child must be protected…… I mean, she seems incredibly honest that I can’t believe she has that old geezer’s blood in her veins.
Even I’m a little crooked.
Feeling somewhat reassured, we continued to enjoy the arcade to the fullest.
