After Being Betrayed by My Girlfriend, I Kiss Her Little Sister

Unusual Atmosphere (2)

“Hina-chan, Hina-chan…! Your skin is so beautiful~ Like a baby’s!”

“Hina-chan, what lip tint are you using? That colour is super cute…”

“Umm, I…”

During lunch break, the girls in class gather around Hina.

As I expected…Hina’s really popular.

The girls who gather around Hina right now used to be friendly with Umi just a few days ago. But it seems like they’ve been keeping their distance because of the incident with Saito. Umi and Saito are really close with each other after all, there are even rumours saying they’re dating. Of course, they never admitted it, but just being involved with that scumbag is enough to damage her reputation.

She used to be surrounded by a lot of people, but now, only Kisaragi remains by her side.

Well, that makes sense. After all, she got into an argument with our classmates this morning.

“The lip tint I’m using is this one! ‘HINA’ lip tint!”

“Ah! I have something from ‘HINA’ too! It’s a perfume. My friend recommended it, she said it’s amazing, so I bought it too!”

“Eh? Now that you mention it, it’s the same name as Hina-chan!”

“Yeah! My mom said she really wanted to use my name for the brand…”

“Eh!?”

“Eh, seriously!? Hina-chan’s mom is that Miki Yurie-san!?”

“Yeah, that’s right. What’s wrong?”

“I only use Mitsuki cosmetics! So does my mom!”

“Eh, really? T-Thank you…!”

“Uwaa…I can’t believe that ‘HINA’ is actually Hina-chan right here…I’m surprised. Now that I think about it, Miki-san is really beautiful too! No wonder Hina-chan is so pretty…”

“That’s right! Hina-chan is very beautiful~”

In the noisy classroom—

Umi, who has been secretly listening to the girls’ conversation, grits her teeth.

“Ehehe…you think so…?”

“Hina-chan, you’re really cute when you’re embarrassed!”

“Ehehe, it’s a little embarrassing…”

“That’s right, Miyauchi-kun!”

“Eh?”

I flinch when the girls suddenly call my name.

I’ve just been quietly eating my sandwich this whole time…what’s wrong?

“Be nicer to Hina-chan!”

“Eh?”

“That’s right! Kanata, be nicer to me! Seriously…!”

“Yeah, you’re Hina-chan’s childhood friend, aren’t you!?”

Why is everyone saying that to me? I haven’t done anything wrong…

Also…what’s with that smug look on your face, Hina?

More importantly, she looks really happy. Maybe they’re just teasing her, but I’m happy to see her talking happily with our classmates, giggling softly.

“Yeah, yeah…I get it.”

“Ehehe.”

For some reason, I end up having lunch with three girls…

Yeah, I’m definitely not used to this.

“Come to think of it, it’s almost Valentine’s Day, right?”

“Yeah, you’re right~”

“Hey, Hina-chan, who are you going to give chocolate to?”

“Me? Kanata!”

The girls look surprised when they hear that.

She answered right away…

Hearing that makes me really happy, but normally…isn’t that the kind of thing girls talk about just with each other?

This is embarrassing.

“Uwaa, Miyauchi-kun, isn’t that great~ You’ll get chocolate from Hina-chan~”

“A-Ahh…y-yeah…”

“What’s with that reaction? Are you not happy, Miyauchi-kun!?”

“Is that true!? Kanata!!”

“Eh? No, I-I-I’m really happy…can I go to the restroom?”

“No! Hold it in!”

“Yes…”

I mean, chocolate…! Chocolate…!!!

Hina just told everyone that she’s going to give me chocolate!

Don’t go around announcing that so boldly! Think about my position too, I’m right next to you, Hina…!

That’s what I really want to say, but for now, I decided just to listen to the three of them in silence.

Also, I actually really need to use the restroom.

“Kanata, you know, that’s the problem! You never pay attention to what I’m saying! That’s why I’m always getting mad at you! Understand?”

“Eh?”

“Got a problem with that?”

“No…I’m sorry for being alive…”

“Ahahaha, what are you two doing? It’s so funny!”

“Miyauchi-kun is surprisingly funny~”

“I didn’t do anything though…”

“Ahaha, we’re going to go to the bathroom before lunch break is over.”

“Yeah!”

Just like that, it finally gets quiet.

I already knew it, but extroverts really do have a lot of energy. I’m not too great with them, since I never really have any friends, but if Hina is having fun talking with them, then it’s fine. It really seemed like Hina was having a lot of fun.

Also, the fact that Miki-san is the one who created that ‘HINA’ brand…that’s really amazing.

It seems like it’s become really popular among girls. Isn’t that great, Hina.

“Kanata.”

“Hmm? What is it?”

“Your lips are really dry. Have you put on lip balm?”

“Ah, now that you mention it…I forgot to bring mine.”

“Mohh…it’s easy for your lips to get dry this time of year…”

Hina says so as she moves closer to me.

W-What is she trying to do…?

“Hold still, Kanata.”

“Eh? W-What are you doing!? Hina…?”

“Eh? I’m just putting on some lip balm for you. Why are you so flustered?”
