The Case of a Childhood Friend That I Haven't Talked to in a Long Time is a Pushover
ââ¦â¦ Well, itâs been some time since Iâve been out alone like this.â
Right after summer vacation, I was out on the streets by myself.
I was sick of the hot sun as usual, but I had gone out to buy a few things.
âAh, here it isâ
My objective was a recently opened sweets store.
The exterior was white in color, and other pretty designs were visible. There were a good number of customers as it had just opened.
âLetâs go to work!â
Now, if I tell you the reason why I came here alone, it was for Kasumi, of course. Partly to thank her for all the help she has given me, and partly to see her happy face, as she loves sweets.
Besides, there is a reason why Kasumi is not by my side today. Today, Kasumi has been back at her house since this morning. Iâm not sure if itâs a good idea or not, but itâs a good idea.
I bought several items that I thought would be good at my discretion and prejudice. Cream puffs, shortcake, strawberry tart, etc. would be totally acceptable.
ââ¦â¦ If I didnât care about body fat and all that, Iâd be tempted to eat the whole thing.â
I was in the mood to eat the white box full of sweets, but I held back. I hurry to Kasumiâs house before it gets too warm because of the hot weather. I know that aunt and uncle are not here today, but I ring the doorbell and enter the house.
Kasumi came down with a patter of footsteps, just as I took off my shoes at the front door.
âWelcome back Kazukiâ
âIâm homeâ¦..well, Iâll be going soon.â
âWhy?â
âBecause everyoneâs here, right?â
Apparently, she is serious about it.
At any rate, the conversation seems to be running parallel at this point, so I decide to say hello to everyone and then go downstairs to kill some time. When I headed to her room with Kasumi, I found the three of them dressed in plain clothes, not in uniform.
âAh, welcome, Rindou kun.â
âIâm keeping your lovely girlfriend, okay~?â
âItâs refreshing to see you in Kasumiâs house.â
It was a three-way reaction.
But still, they are the pride and joy of the class. Asahina san and Kuramochi san are dressed in rough clothes and their skin is dazzling â¦â¦, or in Kuramochi sanâs case, I can even see the cleavage of her b****ts. Saeki san is also wearing a rough outfit, but somehow I can see that sheâs a sports girl .
âOya oya. I wonder if Rindou kun is interested in seeing us in our plain clothes?â
Apparently, they knew I was staring at them.
Kuramochi san smirked, but it was Kasumi, of all people, who replied to this question.
âyou are all beautiful, so I canât blame Kazuki for looking at them. But Iâm Kazukiâs favorite out of all of you.â
ââ¦â¦ Oooooh.â
âHyuuuu~she said itâ
Kasumi said this with a slight puff of her cheeks.
Well, yes, I do think they are very beautiful and pretty. But for me too, the best is always Kasumi, no matter how far I go.
âIâm the best at everything, from my silky hair to my pouty lips to my big b****s to my flabby belly to my many other parts.â
I know itâs a bit of a comic air, but didnât she say something tremendous?
I took my eyes off of Kasumi and looked at the three of them, and apparently I was right.
âIs Kasumi getting bolderâ¦â¦â
ââ¦â¦What do you mean by [various places?]â
âWell Thatâs a lot of places, you know!â
â¦â¦ can we just get that out of the way for now?
âI bought enough for everyone. Have some if you want.â
Saying that, I held out the box with the sweets I had bought.
When Kasumi took it to everyone and opened it, they all shouted with joy.
âWow, that looks delicious!â
âThis is from a new place!â
ââ¦Gulpâ
Iâm glad you were pleased.
And, of course, I remember to tell Kasumi.
âIâd like to thank you for all your help and also to thank Kasumi for all the help sheâs given me. I know this is not enough to repay you, but thank you Kasumi.â
Yes, she had a pretty smile, I must say.
My piece is â¦â¦ okay, I guess Iâll just retire downstairs. I turned away and was about to leave the room when I was grabbed by the wrist with a jerk. I thought it might be Kasumi, but I didnât expect it to be Kuramochi san.
âWait RIndou kun! Iâm glad you bought it for us, but itâs more fun to eat it together.â
ââ¦.No butâ
âawkward to be in a women-only space?â
I nodded at Asahina- sanâs question.
Then Asahina san said this to Kasumi.
âKasumi, flirt with Rindou kun. Just until we all eat this together.â
âRogerâ
I canât move because Kasumi has hugged me.
Apparently, it was now confirmed that we would be eating sweets together. As it was, I was dragged by Kasumi to the others and made to sit on the floor.
ââ¦..Well, canât help itâ
âYeah. ⪠Giving up is the key âªâ
Kasumi, who had secured her place next to me, held me in her arms.
Then she skillfully picked up a cream puff in that state and held it close to my mouth. I had to eat at least one of them or I might make them hesitate to eat it. So I opened my mouth wide and bit into it.
The taste of cream spreading through the crispy textureâ¦â¦Yeah, itâs so good.
âI see. So this is what itâs like when itâs just the two of you.â
Eh? As expected, I shouldnât be so defenseless.
I was about to say a few words back when Kasumi noticed that I had apparently gotten some cream on my mouth and brought my face close to hers. She licked it off with her tongue and looked at me with a big smile on her face, saying it was delicious.
ââ¦â¦ Ah, She just flirted with him.â
âToo late you Lucky guyl!â
Naturally, it was natural for Kuramochi sanfor me to be such a lucky guy.
I then left the room and went downstairs to the living room to spend some time with Kasumi, who was looking at me as if she didnât want to leave me behind.
ââ¦â¦ good grief, youâre still the same in public, Kasumi.â
Well, but such omissions are also really cute.
Thatâs why I have to make sure I protect Kasumi. Kasumi is strong at her core and also physically, but itâs natural that I canât leave her alone.
ââ¦..I think Iâll go and get some sleep.â
I fell asleep early, probably due to my recent fatigue.
The next time I woke up, I was kissed by Kasumi and â¦â¦ well, of course, that was seen perfectly by Asahina san and the others.
âYou two are truly amazing.â
âYeah, yeah. It was a good reference for me when I had a boyfriend too.â
ââ¦.. isnât it weird that Mikoto would do something like that?â
âIsnât it awful!â
They are really lively friends.
