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

“Nn! Matcha green tea warabi mochi tastes delicious~! Sora Sora! Here! Ahhh!”

“Nggg!”

The warabi mochi was pushed into my mouth without any hesitation. The chewy texture spread in my mouth, and the matcha flavor matched it nicely.

“Isn’t it delicious~?”

“Yes, it is. But Alice…did you aim for that?”

Alice was in a hurry to bring the matcha warabimochi back to her mouth after pointing the toothpick with my mouth on it. There is only one answer that can be drawn from this. She was trying to kiss me indirectly without me noticing.

“Ugh… Since I was found out, it can’t be helped… but!”

She took that toothpick to his own mouth and after swallowing the matcha warabimochi, she pointed at me.

“Heh heh! Now we’ve already had an indirect kiss!”

“I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with it, but I’m all right with having an indirect kiss with Alice, too.”

“W-Wat!? T-That means… if I eat and Sora eats again and again… we’ll be kissing indirectly forever?”

Alice seems to be a genius to notice that.

“I guess so. Let’s buy a lot of green tea warabimochi for that purpose.”

“Hey, you two! You didn’t forget we’re here, did you?”

Shiina and Shunya followed behind. Shiina’s eyes are shining as she looks at the pamphlet, and I wonder what’s going on.

“Shunya! Sora! Alice! It looks like we’re going to simulate the shooting of a period drama in the next 10 minutes, so let’s go!”

Shiina was more enthusiastic than ever, and Alice and my eyes went wide, but Shunya was was calm and explained everything to us properly.

“Shiina is a period otaku. I’m sorry, but will you come with us? I’d usually never ask.”

I don’t really have any reason to say no, and I’d like to see it too.

“Sure.”

“I’m going too! I want to see a period drama live!”

………

……

…

“Don’t mess with me… why are you doing this…”

“Hell if I know…! If you have a problem with me, say it to Shiina…!”

Me and Shunya were dressed in kimonos that looked like something out of a period drama, instead of our school uniforms, and we were forced to fake slash each other with mock swords.

This is all part of… “You can get an experience!? Shunya! Sora! You should go!” Shiina’s selfishness.

“Shunya! You’re so cool~!”

“Wha!? S-Shiina! Are you stupid!?”

The normally playful Shunya is red-faced and upset. Looking at him, I couldn’t help but grin.

“Sora, you bastard! Stop grinning, hey!!”

“I mean… you know? You usually tease me and Alice, but… you’re a bit more naive than I thought.”

His face was reddening and he looked like he was about to start a serious slash-and-burn fight.

“You…! Alice-chan! Compliment Sora, a lot!”

“Wha!?”

I quickly turned my attention to Alice, and she was smiling with a look on her face that said, “Roger!”

“Sora is handsome, athletic, studious, and has very high specs! And yet, when I go home, he’s super dere dere, he’s just too cute~!”

“I get it! I get it already, Alice! Can’t you shut up for a minute!?”

This time my face turned red, and for some reason Alice’s face also turned red when she said that.

“Stop grinning, Shunya, you bastard!”

………

……

…

“T-That was terrible…”

“Aa-ha-ha! But it was fun~!”

Alice and I had decided to separate the places we wanted to visit from the places Shunya and the others wanted to see, so we were on our own now.

We went to a famous Kyoto souvenir store. Dad had asked me to buy him some oil-absorbent paper.

A few minutes after we entered the store, I had already finished my shopping, but Alice didn’t seem to be finished yet…what’s going on? She seems to be glancing around a lot.

“Alice, what are you going to buy?”

“Hyah!?”

I am not someone who would miss something hidden behind her back on the spur of the moment. And the more something is hidden, the more I want to see it.

“What did you buy, Alice? Let me see.”

“Ah, awawa… I-It’s just an ordinary gift!”

She turned his head away like a manga character. This girl…she’s too good a liar to me. Now it’s time for the deep end.

“Oh? There’s a shrine there where you can make a wish come true if you kiss there.”

“Eh? Where where!? Sora! Let’s go there…ah…”

I took the opportunity to grab that from behind Alice’s back. It was a small box, but… what?

“Yaaah! No!”

0.01mm. Ultra-thin condom.

At that point, I guessed what was going on and let loose an angry yell.

“Ain’t that a condom! What the hell were you thinking!?”

“Fu, fufufufun! It’s for when I come out of the bath and Sora decides to attack me, so I guess it’s protection?”

Alice is certainly a beautiful woman. She is a beauty on a level that easily surpasses those of models. But that is no reason to attack Alice without her consent.

“Man… what were you thinking… For now, we won’t be buying this.”

“Eehh~!?”

“Come on, get on with it, will you?”

But later I would regret and rejoice at the same time to see Alice’s behavior through to the end.
