I Liked Her First, but My Brain Was Broken, Then for Some Reason, I Became Friends With Beautiful Girls, So I’m Done My With Childhood Friends
Operation Kido is a great plan to drown out bad rumors by having Kido san play a big role in the cultural festival ! (Tentative)
In order for this operation to succeed, there are some things that Kido san needs to work hard on.
It was planned that Matsuyuki san would take care of those matters girl-to-girl. There are times when it is better for the boys to stay out of the way. That is what Matsuyuki san said.
That’s true, but I’m going to do my best to mitigate the rumors outside of the festival as well.
“I will explain to my friends that the rumors about Tsumugi san were spread with malicious intent. I don’t have too many friends, but I think I can change the atmosphere of the school, even if only a little.”
Matsuyuki san said that and is acting for Kido san’s sake.
If that’s the case, I can’t just sit idly by either.
I have even fewer friends than Matsuyuki san, who says she doesn’t have many friends.
If I exclude Matsuyuki san and Kido san, there are only two friends left. At this point, I have lost half of my friends, which is sad.
Still, if I must make as many allies as possible, I should tell as many people as possible.
“What’s the matter, Hiro? You called me up all of a sudden.”
“You said in your message that you had a favor to ask……. I’ll do whatever it takes to help you, Yazawa kun.”
The two remaining friends. I called Mitsuki and Izumi kun to the coffee shop.
I thought to myself that I wouldn’t have the heart to go out of my way to call this couple.
However, thinking it was for Kido san’s sake, I was able to keep my feelings at bay with only a slight tingle in my chest.
When the drinks we had each ordered arrived, I cut the chase.
“Hey…..do you know there’s a girl in the first year named Kido Tsumugi?”
Izumi kun nodded his head immediately, having met her in person.
“First year Kido san? Is that a girl? I remember that a junior in the badminton club said that she killed her father half to death..is that Kido san?”
As expected of Mitsuki, who has a wide range of friends. She had heard about the rumors about Kido san.
“That Kido san.”
Knowing the real reason, I wanted to say [No, it’s not !].
Even though she knows about the rumor, Kido san herself does not care about it. I, as an outsider, could not get emotional.
I turn my attention to the stylish and relaxed atmosphere of the coffee shop. Yes, I am an adult. I am a man who can talk calmly.
I sipped the coffee I had ordered and tried to open my mouth.
“Don’t tell me Hiro…..you’re not trying to get close to Kido san or anything, are you? ”
Before I could utter a word, Mitsuki’s eyes turned swarthy.
The atmosphere of a childhood friend sends chills down my spine. Izumi kun, standing next to her, is also frightened.
“It’s just a rumor, and I didn’t think anything of it when I heard about it. But if Hiro wants to get involved with someone dangerous, I can’t leave him alone.”
Mitsuki thinks of me as her little brother.
It means that she was the object of my protection, but she did not see me as a man. I have realized this before.
But that is because I have been showing my pathetic figure for a long time.
After making her worry for so long, she suddenly treats me as an equal… Really, there are limits to how convenient it is.
“Mitsuki. Kido san is my friend.”
“Eh?”
I was surprised at how calm my voice sounded.
I had been showing nothing but a pathetic appearance for a long time, but I was dreaming about it.
I’ve been dreaming about becoming a good guy and going out with Mitsuki. I just thought that, but never did anything about it.
Just wishing for someday will not bring that someday.
If I don’t do anything, if I don’t achieve anything, there is no way I can become a good man.
I had always dreamed of such a thing, and I’m sure that my dreams were shattered when I broke my heart.
This time, in order to protect the reality in front of me, I must speak up.
“Kido san is kind, mature, and a little crazy……. She’s an amazing person who can put her body on the line in someone else’s pinch.”
I look Mitsuki straight in the eye. I hope my feelings will be conveyed to her. I put my strong will into it, hoping that she would understand.
Mitsuki would understand.
We are not just childhood friends.
“So, if there are any bad rumors about Kido san that are being spread for fun…..I wanna do something about it.”
I bowed my head.
“I’m begging you, both of you. I want you to help me. For the sake of my dear friends, I need your help, Mitsuki, Izumi kun.”
I said seriously, trying to convey my feelings.
A moment of silence followed. The store’s background music filled in the pauses.
“I see.”
Mitsuki breathed deeply.
“Look up, Hiro. I’m sorry, I thought I had learned my lesson with Matsuyuki san, but when it comes to Hiro, I can’t help but lose my temper.”
When I looked up, I was reassured by the familiar shy smile of my childhood friend.
Seeing her like that, I also laughed jokingly.
“It’s fine. It’s just like Mitsuki.
“What’s with that tone of voice? You’re so cock.”
I was laughing when Mitsuki laughed.
It was normal, but somehow it had been a while.
“I’m glad you’re relying on me. I’ll fully cooperate with you, Yazawa kun, so please tell me anything !”
“O-oh……thanks.”
Izumi kun leans forward and takes my hand. It was a bit too powerful and I was scared.
“Okay, okay. Hiro, please don’t flirt with my boyfriend in front of me.”
[ [I-I’m not flirting with him !] ]
“Don’t synchronize……”
Izumi kun and I looked at each other and gushed. Mitsuki was taken aback, but her mouth was loose.
“Anyway, Hiro has changed, hasn’t he?”
“Eh?”
I noticed that Mitsuki was looking at me with kind eyes.
“I mean, up until now, Hiro has never done anything for someone on his own. And he’s very serious about it. I’m kind of happy.”
“What’s that? Are you my mother, Mitsuki?”
“It’s similar, right?”
Don’t look at me from a guardian’s point of view. It’s very hurtful.
“Anyway…you see. That Kido san is such a good girl. Hiro, do you like her by any chance?”
“Yeah. Of course I like her.”
“Eeeeh !? L-l-l-like her !? S-so straightforward….eeeeeeh !?”
Mitsuki makes a strange noise. What’s up with you all of a sudden?
If I didn’t like her, I wouldn’t have bothered to call Mitsuki and Izumi kun and bow down to them.
Kido san is an important friend of mine. In order to be proud of that, I wanted to act for her, too.
“I-I see………I see………. Hiro has grown up too….heeeeeeeeeee…….”
Mitsuki is mumbling with a complicated look on her face for some reason.
“I-I’m……I’ll be supproting…..Hiro kun.”
For some reason, even Izumi kun had a complicated expression on his face. Your cheeks are twitching, you know?
I guess it’s the kind of synchronization that only a couple can have. I’m a little bit jealous.
But now I have the two of them on my side. I was relieved to have achieved my goal.
“Here you go, on the house.”
Sugito san?”
A friend of Matsuyuki san’s who works part-time at a coffee shop. Sugito san placed a cake on the table.
“Ayano chan told me what happened. You did your best, Yazawa kun. This is just an encouragement from me, no need to pay for it.”
“T-thank you very much.”
“Fufu, take your time.”
I felt a sexiness from Sugito san that I could not believe she was a classmate.
Because of this, I unintentionally thanked her in honorifics. This is the aura of a girl with a boyfriend……a-amazing.
“Wow ! This strawberry shortcake looks really delicious. I’ll have some♪”
The childhood friend with a boyfriend in front of me seems more interested in eating than being sexy…….
Well, that’s what makes her so cute. Maybe I’m quite the idiot childhood friend for thinking like that even after a heartbreak.
