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
“Hiro senpai…..can you come to my house…?”
“Yes, it’s fine. I don’t have anything to do today.”
I nodded in agreement to Kido san’s invitation.
I was a bit nervous because she was asking me to pay her back right away, but it was no big deal to go to her house.
I was thinking of buying some bread from the store, so it’s lucky for me to be able to pay back the debt for free.
“Hiro kun….you’re not being cautious enough.”
For some reason, Matsuyuki san muttered this while holding her head.
Isn’t that something you should say to Kido san, not to me?
“I’m sorry to interrupt. Yuika insisted on seeing Hiro senpai.”
“Ah, so it was your sister’s request.”
Kido san had made up with her sister Yuika chan.
So she moved out from the apartment where she was living alone and is living in the same house again.
If I can help fill in the blanks between the two sisters, I would be happy to spare my body as a senior.
But still, Yuika chan wants to see me……
“So Kido san is talking about me with Yuika chan at home.”
“Um…well. I-it’s because you’re someone who helped Yuika out during the school festival…”
The school festival was the catalyst that helped Kido san and Yuika chan make up.
They hadn’t been able to spend time together until then. They probably talk about the school festival a lot because it’s a common topic for both of them.
“Well then, let’s go to Kido san’s house right away. Of course, Matsuyuki san will come with us.”
“Is it okay if I come with you?”
Matsuyuki san said with a hint of reservation.
“You told me before that it’s not right for a boy to go to a girl’s house alone. If you don’t come with me, I’ll be in trouble.”
“Wa…..!?”
I hold Matsuyuki san’s hand so as not to let her escape.
Even if I went alone, it goes without saying that I wouldn’t do anything indecent.
I don’t think I have gained Kido san’s trust, but whether or not Matsuyuki san comes with me should make a huge difference in my sense of security.
“……”
Thinking this, I looked at Kido san’s face and saw that she had a still look in her eyes that had nothing to do with a sense of security.
Her eyes seemed to be focused on my and Matsuyuki san’s joined hands.
“……”
After observing for a while, I was convinced.
“Would you like to hold hands with me, Kido san?”
“Huh?”
I held out my free hand, and Kido san’s eyes widened.
The three of us are good friends.
It’s not just my own selfish misunderstanding. I think she is not comfortable unless we are together, just like Matsuyuki san was being jealous.
I believe that we have developed a kind of bond through helping each other at the festival. I believe so.
“Y-yeah…if Hiro senpai is okay with it…”
Kido san timidly shook my hand.
“Hiro kun does this without any ulterior motive whatsoever…he’s a frightening person.”
“Yeah……Hiro senpai is terrifying…….”
“Eh !? Did I do something to scare you?”
Both Matsuyuki san and Kido san just looked away and wouldn’t tell me.
However, their ears were bright red, so it was clear that it was something difficult to say.
Reflect. I don’t know what I said, but I’m going to reflect on it anyway.
◇ ◇ ◇
The three of us walked hand in hand, but it would have been a nuisance to people passing by, so we separated on the way.
“We arrived.”
The apartment is in the opposite direction from the one Kido san used to live in.
But I found Kido san’s house in a place where I could still come on foot from the school.
“Y-you live here?”
“Yeah.”
Kido san nodded easily.
Towering in front of me is a building so tall that I can’t even count the number of floors…..
It is called a tower apartment building, a building that had no connection to me.
Although it was a rather old apartment, the family had enough financial resources to allow Kido san to live alone.
I probably should have expected this.
“Hiro kun? What are you frozen for?”
“I-I’m not.”
“……”
Damn. It was my first time entering a high-rise apartment building, so I was so nervous that I blurted out something strange.
Ah, Matsuyuki san’s eyes were now watching over me kindly.
“There’s no need to be nervous. I’ll be beside you.”
“D-don’t treat me like a kid……”
I know she’s teasing me, but I’m really nervous, so I lose power in my words.
It’s all the fault of the high-rise apartment complex. It’s all the fault of this guy looking down on me.
“Hiro senpai, Matsuyuki senpai. This way.”
I hurried after Kido san as he was about to enter the tower block.
“Wow……”
The entrance is spacious, bright, and a bit overwhelming.
I didn’t realize that it would overwhelm me both from the outside and from the inside…… As expected of a tower block, it is not to be underestimated.
“Hehe. I never get bored of watching Hiro kun.”
“What do you mean by that?”
Matsuyuki san only laughed and did not tell me. Damn, I feel like I’m being teased again.
“Well, it seems Hiro kun isn’t the only one who’s nervous though…”
I followed Kido san, keeping my eyes on her back so I wouldn’t get separated from her.
The elevator ride to the eighteenth floor. As we ascended, I felt my nerves rising as well.
“T-this is it. This is my…..house.”
Finally, we arrived in front of Kido san’s house.
As she unlocked and opened the door, footsteps came thuddingly approaching from inside.
“I’ve missed you so much, Hiro san ♡”
“Uwaa !?”
A girl who looked a lot like Kido san, her younger sister Yuika chan, jumped into my chest.
The other party was an elementary school student. I was able to hold her even with my level of strength.
“Waa. You’re so strong, Hiro-san, you can hold me so tightly~♡”
I guess she is at the age when she wants to be pampered.
Yuika chan was rubbing her cheeks against my chest. I felt like I was being cuddled by a small animal.
“……”
“Hiro san’s good smell~……ha !?”
Yuika chan, who had been cuddling me, suddenly cried out and froze.
Her gaze was fixed on Matsuyuki san, who looked stunned.
“Hi…..”
“Yuika chan?
“Hiro san brought a strange woman—!?”
Seeing her sister already getting excited, Kido san covered her face with her hands in embarrassment.
