I’m Tired of My Childhood Friend Playing Pranks on Me, so I Want to Date a Female Friend Who Loves Me Sincerely
In the end, I ended up returning home with Nagiri, and she showed me around the house as we headed to her mother’s room.
I was just going to report that I had come to play, but for some reason I felt so nervous. I used to see Rika’s mother almost every day when we were in elementary and junior high school.
For some reason, meeting Nagiri’s mother made me nervous. No, I would be nervous meeting the parents of anyone other than Nagiri.
To begin with, I’m an introvert. Talking to strangers makes me nervous, and I’d rather only interact with people I know.
“Oh, by the way, I think my sisters are in the room too, so please be nice to them.”
“Eh…”
I don’t know what kind of people Nagiri’s sisters are, but her mother and her sisters too?
What if they’re secretly judging me? If someone like me is Nagiri’s friend, it might have a bad influence, so I might get expelled… Maybe I’ve read too many light novels.
“By the way, what about your brother?”
I mistakenly thought he was Nagiri’s fiancé, so I feel like I should apologize, but is her brother also in the room?
This is a pretty important point.
“My brother is sleeping in his room, so he’s not here. I don’t think we’ll be meeting him from now on.”
Isn’t that a bit too strong?
…No, I can’t rule out the possibility that she’s indirectly telling me that this is my last visit to this house.
I behaved so rudely, so it’s possible that her brother doesn’t want to see me anymore.
“We’re here. My mother and sisters are here.”
“I see.”
For now, I have to be careful not to act rudely. As long as I can do that, there shouldn’t be any problems.
“Good luck.”
“Eh, yes?”
Nagiri opens the door while saying something meaningful. The door seems to open very slowly.
“I brought him. This is my boyfriend, Etsuki Ayato.”
Inside the room were a woman who appeared to be her mother and three girls.
The sisters seemed to be one middle school student and two elementary school students.
Still, aren’t they all too beautiful? It goes without saying that Nagiri-san is beautiful, but it’s no wonder she’s part of this family.
All four of them have faces that are off the charts.
Being among such people makes me feel like I might ruin something and can’t stand it.
…Wait, didn’t Nagiri just call me her boyfriend?
Eh… No, that can’t be right. Nagiri and I are just friends. What kind of crazy ears do I have?
“Well, you must be Ayato. Nagiri has told me about you.”
“I’m sorry to intrude. I’m Etsuki Ayato.”
I bowed my head and greeted Nagiri’s mother. I also gave a nod to her sisters.
No matter how many times I see it, the facial features in this room are strange.
“Come on over here. I want to hear about Nagiri and Ayato-kun at school. Nagiri talks about you every day about how she Like-…”
“Oh no!”
“Arara.”
Nagiri’s face turned bright red as she hurriedly covered her mother’s mouth.
“Wow, it’s Ayato-nii-chan. Nice to meet you. I’m Madoka. Remember me!”
A girl suddenly hugged me. Her name is Madoka. Judging by her height, she must be the youngest child.
I’m always happy to be liked by little kids.
“Nice to meet you, Madoka-chan.”
Little kids are so cute. They’re so cute I can’t help but pet them.
“Hehe, you’re so kind, Ayato–nii-chan.”
“Thank you.”
I thought Madoka-chan’s eyes turned into hearts for a moment, but maybe I’m just imagining things.
“Nagi-onee-chan. Ayato-nii-chan, I like him too!”
A little kid’s “I like you” is pure affection. It has no romantic meaning at all; it’s just a simple expression of familiarity.
“I like you too.”
For a moment, I felt a strong gaze from Nagiri-san.
“Come on, Madoka. Ayato-kun is going to talk to mother now, so step away.”
“Okay.”
