A Childhood Friend, Reunited After 10 Years Acts Deredere With Me

Chapter 39 – Farewell to the Past

“Yeah! I knew it! The burgers here are always delicious!”

It was past noon, approaching three o’clock, and I was supposed to have been introduced to my hometown by Alice… but before I knew it, I had started eating my way around.

But I wondered if I could eat something like a triple cheeseburger…something that would be too much for my stomach to handle.

“Is it okay to eat such high-calorie food? Fattening…”

I was about to say “fattening,” but Shunya told me that this word is forbidden for girls, so I decided not to say it.

“I’m fine~ I don’t gain weight.”

“Oh, that’s great!”

I was impressed by her fat-free constitution, which is the dream of all girls. I’m the same way, by the way…maybe I have a high basal metabolism? I don’t know.

“Ehehe.”

Alice rubs up against me and starts being spoiled like a cat. In the past I would have made her blush and quit, but now I’m happy and not so upset.

“What’s wrong all of a sudden?”

“No, you know, I was so scared to go outside at the time, but when I was with Sora, it was just blown away. I’m really glad that… Sora was there.”

Alice says this in a slightly embarrassed manner, which I feel is out of character for her.

“It’s not like you…”

“So…don’t abandon me, okay?”

She grabbed the hem of my dress. Her hand is shaking slightly. I hold her hand tightly and face Alice.

“I won’t leave you. Until I die.”

To Alice, I’m like a drug. No, I am something that may be worse than a drug. If I am not there, Alice will surely be broken.

“And you, I see that you also have a Yandere attribute.”

I think she has been showing glimpses of it for a while now, but today I’m sure of it. The fact that she also has a Yandere attribute, and also includes a childhood friend attribute, makes her an extremely rare species.

“I’m not Yandere! I’d die without Sora!”

“That is what people call a Yandere. Well, I’m also a little dependent on Alice.”

With that said, I finished my hamburger and dropped the trash bag in the trash can.

It was then.

“Alice? You’re Alice, right? You.”

A voice suddenly called out to me from behind. I turned around to see a group of four men and women. There was a man with a physique like a rugby player, and there was also a beautiful woman.

But for some reason. I don’t like these guys.

“Alice…who are these guys?”

Alice closed her eyes, which had reached the peak of their shock, took a deep breath, and opened them again.

“Fuu, they’re my classmates from America. I never wanted to see you again, though.”

“What? What are you being so bossy just because you’re in front of a guy?”

When I was about to interrupt her, Alice patted me on the back and told the girl who had said those words.

“I’m not trying to be tough. I’m just letting you know how I really feel because I haven’t liked you guys for a long time.”

“I haven’t seen you in a while, so you must be getting ahead of yourself. Do you want to get hurt again?”

“You can do it if you want. Don’t ask Jack and the others for help, do it on your own.”

Her eyes are the complete opposite of the way they are when she’s with me. I know it’s inappropriate, but I can’t help but admire them.

“Kuh…”

“You can’t, can you? You are not a person who is prepared to do it alone. After all, you’re just a small person who can only be dominant in a group, aren’t you?”

“You… shut up… you are… you are…”

“Well, I’ll quit abusing you any further. If I do it any more, I’ll be just like you, and honestly, I’m not interested in you guys.”

At that time, Alice wrapped herself around my arm.

“I’ve always been interested in this person. Then, later. I don’t want to see you again.”

With a big smile on my face, I started walking down the street as if pulled by Alice, and went into an alleyway to hide.

“Hah…hah… fuu…I was so nervous~”

A bead of sweat on her forehead. She must have been very nervous. I took out a handkerchief from my pocket and offered it to her.

“You did a great job, Alice.”

“Thanks… it’s because of Sora.”

“Because of me? I didn’t do anything.”

“I’m not sure I would have been able to stay so strong if it weren’t for Sora, and even more so if I hadn’t met him. Really, Sora is my hero.”

“You glorify me too much. I’m not as good as you think I am.”
