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
“……”
“I’m sorry. Don’t stare at me like that.”
Matsuyuki san’s face was red and she glared at me, probably because her forehead was hurting from the flick.
When she glares at me like that, it makes me feel like I’ve done something wrong. I was just returning the punishment game…
“You’re terrible, Hiro kun. ….You’re the worst.”
“Did it hurt that much !?”
Well, I went all out. I gathered strength in my middle finger and gave her a forehead flick.
But I didn’t use a tool, so I didn’t think it was that powerful……
It was the first time I’d played a punishment game like this with friends, so maybe I didn’t go easy on her.
“Hiro senpai……you’re terrible.”
“Hiro san is horrible♪”
Kido san and Yuika chan also said the same thing. Yuik -chan is probably just imitating her for fun, though.
“Now, Hiro kun. Let’s continue the game.”
Matsuyuki san swayed and sat back down in front of the TV.
“M-Matsuyuki san?”
“What are you doing? Please hurry up.”
His voice was colder than usual. I might have offended her.
Matsuyuki san was relentless after this.
I had no chance of winning, as she had targeted me with her strong game, and after this, I would be beaten up a lot in the punishment game.
“Hyannnnn !? Hey !? You just licked my ear, didn’t you !?”
“W-w-w-what are you talking about, Hiro kun ! I do no such things. I just got a little too close….and my lips just brushed against it ! !”
Maybe because she knew that my ears were my weak spot, she started whispering in my ear.
Even the mere sound of someone breathing in my ear makes my body flinch. And when I panic, I’m left defenseless and get hit on the head, which hurts.
“Hiro san’s ears have a very beautiful shape. They’re so cute…..fuu♪”
“Y-Yuika chan…..please don’t blow my ears,…..kunn.”
Even elementary school girl thoroughly attack my ears.
I wanted to brush it off with the composure of an adult, but I was too weak against the pain in my ears. I couldn’t stop my body from jumping.
By the time the game finished, I was slumped against the couch, out of breath.
“Hiro senpai, are you okay?”
“H-haha,……it’s tough dealing with kids,……”
Matsuyuki san is included in that “kids”, though. Well, she’s a naughty brat at heart, so it can’t be helped. Halfway through, when she was giving me a punishment game, her face started to look like a mischievous child.
“Your forehead is getting red.”
“After getting flick on the head like that…”
It had always been my punishment game. I’ve been hit on the forehead so much that I’ve lost feeling in it.
Kido san puts her hand on my forehead. It’s cool and feels good…
“Kido san’s hand feels good……”
“R-really? Then let me stay like this.”
Kido san covers my forehead with her palm, as if she’s taking my temperature.
However, perhaps because my body heat had been transferred to her hands, Kido san’s hands gradually began to get warmer.
I don’t care. It feels good just to have Kido san touch me……
“Matsuyuki senpai is really strong. There was no boy who could beat me, and yet I lost to her many times.”
“No, no, Yuika chan, you’re also quite good at it. You have a promising future.”
In contrast to me and Kido san who were taking a break, Yuika chan and Matsuyuki san seemed to hit it off and were having a good time talking about games.
They probably get along because they’re close in mental age. Even in games, only Matsuyuki san or Yuika chan have taken first place since then.
“Then, let me change the topic”
Yuika chan still had a happy look on her face as she switched to another topic.
”Matsuyuki senpai, are you dating Hiro san?”
[ [ [Puh !?] ] ]
Yuika chan’s blunt question made us all gasp.
I had no idea that elementary school girls were this precocious… She’s only in the third grade, so how can she understand what a romantic relationship is?
“Eh, no, me and Hiro kun are….”
“See, you called him Hiro kun. You don’t call a boy’s name like that unless you like him, do you?”
It’s an innocent comment. Yuika chan, you horrible child…….
But I can’t just leave her alone. For a girl who had said, [I don’t understand love…] this kind of topic was probably just not her forte.
“You know, Yuika chan. Matsuyuki san doesn’t just call me by my first name, she calls everyone by their first names.”
“Eh, why? Does that mean Matsuyuki senpai is good friends with everyone? Even with people you don’t know? Why?”
I thought I was offering a helping hand, but I provoked Yuika chan even more.
Damn. What should I do?
The reason why Matsuyuki san calls people by their names is related to her past itself.
I don’t think it’s something she can easily reveal, and I don’t think there’s any need for me to force Matsuyuki san to talk about it here.
“N-now, now. That’s it……Matsuyuki san is popular. That’s why there are so many people who are good friends with her, yup.”
I made eye contact with Matsuyuki san and she nodded apologetically.
“Hmmm. I see.”
Yuika chan seemed to be satisfied for the time being.
This is a relief. Elementary school girls will try to dig deeper into the reasons without any ill intent, so I can’t let my guard down.
“Then, Matsuyuki senpai doesn’t like Hiro san?”
“Eh !? T-that’s…….”
Matsuyuki san was being too flustered.
Even if she did say she liked me, it was probably just a platonic thing typical of elementary school kids.
Besides, Yuika chan might just be confirming that she liked me as a friend. There’s probably nothing deeper going on.
Matsuyuki san glanced at me with a tinge on her cheek. I wouldn’t get the wrong idea even if she didn’t look at me like that.
“…….”
Yuika chan nodded enthusiastically as she saw Matsuyuki san stammering. Elementary school kids have big reactions to everything.
“That’s good. So Hiro san is free now.”
Yuika chan turned around and looked back at me.
With an innocent smile on her face, she said to me.
“Please go out with me, Hiro san.”
“……Yes?”
Being confessed to by an elementary school girl…isn’t a crime, right?
……I mean.
