Episode 18 – Home visit with Nagiri san 1

I’m Tired of My Childhood Friend Playing Pranks on Me, so I Want to Date a Female Friend Who Loves Me Sincerely

“No, it’s fine.”

The slick guys blew themselves up, so that’s the end of it. If we can wrap this up without putting ourselves in danger, then that’s fine with me.

“Really? Then let’s go.”

“Huh?”

“What do you mean, ‘huh’? We’re going, aren’t we? You said it was fine.”

“Ah, that’s not what I meant. I meant I am not going. Sorry for the confusion.”

Just because those slick guys got expelled doesn’t mean I have any reason to visit Nagiri’s house.

Besides, being alone in a room with a girl because of Rika makes me feel a little uneasy.

Of course, I know Nagiri wouldn’t do anything weird, but it’s better to be safe than sorry.

“What, you’re not coming?”

“Yes, I appreciate the invitation, but considering what happened yesterday, I’ll have to politely decline.”

“Damn that woman.”

“What did you just say?”

“Gohon, I didn’t say anything. Don’t worry about it.”

“Got it.”

For a moment, I thought I heard some pretty dirty words, but maybe it was just my imagination?

I feel like this happens to me a lot. Including with Rika, a lot of things have been just my imagination.

It’s like I’m the hearing-impaired protagonist of a romance comedy. That inexplicable phenomenon where you can’t hear anything at inconvenient times.

That wouldn’t happen, so it must really be just my imagination.

“What’s wrong with my house?”

“It’s not that I’m dissatisfied with Nagiri san’s house. I just had a lot to think about because of yesterday’s incident.”

Thanks to Hanako being there yesterday, I was saved, but if I imagine what would have happened if Hanako hadn’t been there… it’s terrifying.

“Just to be clear, my mother is at home. She’s a housewife. My sisters are there too. I am planning to have them stay in the living room, so I don’t think there will be any problems.”

“Well, if that’s the case…”

It might be okay. I’ve been relying on Nagiri san all this time, so I think it’s better to greet her mother.

I didn’t expect her to have sisters, but if they’re Nagiri san’s sisters, they must be responsible.

They say that eldest daughters are often responsible, so Nagiri san must be like that because of her sisters.

“Then let’s go right away. I’ll welcome you. I’ll take lots of photos. We’ll take a photo of the whole family.”

“Haha, leave the photography to me. I’ll do my best to take good photos.”

“…”

“This is my house.”

“It’s big…”

Come to think of it, I forgot something important. Nagiri san is the daughter of Kagumo Confectionery.

Is it okay for an ordinary person like me to visit the home of someone who runs a famous company?

Don’t people of the upper class already have fiancés?

If Nagiri san has a fiancé, then I’m clearly an outsider. I have to confirm this or my position will be in jeopardy.

“Does Nagiri san have a fiancé?”

“What are you talking about? Of course not.”

“You don’t?!”

“What, did you think I did? I’m not some economic slave. I’ll only marry someone I’ve decided is right for me.”

Nagiri san continued, saying she had already obtained her father’s permission.

It seems certain that she doesn’t have a fiancé.

…Then, is it still okay…?

At least I need to be careful not to make any mistakes.

“I think I’ll probably inherit this company, so I’ll be the one to decide. I’m currently working on winning over that person.”

“I see. Good luck. I’m rooting for you.”

With a beauty like Nagiri, men must be lining up to choose her. I can’t help but feel envious of the person she’s currently working on winning over.

“For now, I’ll have you meet my mother. Come quickly!”
