After Practicing S*x With My Childhood Friend I Don’t Even Like, I Started Becoming Popular With Beautiful Girls. However, for Some Reason, My Childhood Friend Starts Acting Cold - Chapter 24 - I Have a Proposal
Chapter 24 – I Have a Proposal
“Ggghh…!”
“This…!”
In the first few minutes of SMASIS with the addition of Kohaku…
On the game screen, Kohaku and Tachibana-senpai were engaged in a fierce battle.
Kohaku, my reclusive, bossy childhood friend, has been playing games with me since we were kids. She’s a good gamer.
It’s different from being the bitch who made a proposal with full confidence but is actually a small fish.
It’s a back-and-forth battle between Kohaku and Tachibana-senpai.
Behind the scenes,
“Hey, hey, Himesaki-senpai.”
“What is it, Kanade-chan~?”
“Let’s team up.”
The bitch begins to play her devious tricks with an eagle eye…
At the edge of Kohaku and Tachibana-senpai’s battle, Himesaki and Saiai are completely ignored, to the point that they aren’t even defeated.
“Team up~?”
“Yes, I’m proposing that we team up. Let’s work together to defeat that cat and Tachibana-senpai. Together, we can do what one person can’t do.” (T/N: just an fyi, Saiai calls Kohaku ‘Neko-chan’, but I thought I’d translate it to cat just because.)
“I see~ I see~! Then from now on, me and Kanade-chan are on the same side~!”
The two shook hands.
Himesaki Moeka got a useless little bitch!
“Fufufu. Himesaki-senpai doesn’t know I’ll betray her in the end…”
“You’ll be dead before then.”
“What!? Whose side are you on, senpai!?”
“At least I’m not on your side.”
“Ugh… How frustrating… It might be better if everyone just died…”
Saiai’s face contorted and she began to wear an aura of darkness at my immediate response.
“Let’s go! Himesaki-senpai! Those two who are ignoring us will get a surprise attack from behind!”
“Ouuu~!”
With great enthusiasm, they sneaked into the middle of a fierce fight between Kohaku and Tachibana-senpai, when…
“…Annoying.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Gheee!?”
“Whaa~!?”
A second scream echoed.
So even cheating couldn’t even make up for the difference in ability…
Himesaki and Saiai left the screen, and now the one-on-one battle between Kohaku and senpai begins.
“I won’t lose to the prez…”
I was the only one who could hear the muttering——A few minutes later.
“Ugh… I lost…”
Tachibana-senpai put down the controller and collapsed on both hands.
“Yay…!”
Kohaku made a small gut punch.
Her face was lit up with an unusually bright smile.
“And so, it’s Kohaku’s win——”
“Wait a minute!”
Saiai stood up, swaying her silver hair, and raised her hands in protest.
“Nobody said it was a one-off game!”
“What are you talking about… You sore loser and damn weakling.”
“It’s okay! It doesn’t matter if I’m a sore loser, just play until I win! That’s the rule of the world!”
“What a crazy argument…”
But Saiai seems to be serious.
She doesn’t look like she’s joking.
This is the self-absorbed chuunibyou type who believes everything should go their way… You’re already in high school, please grow up and act like an adult.
“You think so too, don’t you, Himesaki-senpai? You want to win, don’t you?”
“Eh? Hmm. I guess so~ I want to win at least once, too~!”
“Yes…”
“I want to play again~!”
As if ignited by Saiai’s question, Himesaki started to act spoiled.
“That’s right! I agree with the fashion magazine model!”
“Ehehe~”
Saiai and Himesaki seem to be on the same page in some way, or more like Saiai is taking advantage of Himesaki’s naïve nature.
Shit, I can’t refuse when it comes to Himesaki!
At times like this, this is when the ferocious childhood friend comes into play!
Go ahead, my domineering cat!
“We-well, if Moeka-san says that… Let’s play again then?”
With blushing cheeks, Kohaku held up the controller.
“Really~? Thank you~ Kohaku-chan~”
“E-ehehe…”
What’s with the happy grin!?
I’ve never seen you like that before!?
“It’s settled then. What about you, Tachibana-senpai? If you’re embarrassed because you lost after such a big talk, please go home♪”
“Oh my, I’m sorry, but I’m not leaving.”
Senpai held up the controller and looked at Kohaku.
“Nekomura-san, can you fight me again?”
“If you want, I’ll take you on.”
“Thanks… I won’t lose next time. You see, I hate losing.”
Thus, Saiai’s selfishness initiated an extended game…
It’s all messed up….
By the way, is it okay for me to participate too?
Why am I only allowed to watch when it’s my house and my game?
I’ll beat them all up.
Even without cheat abilities, ordinary high school boys can be unbeatable in games…
I mustered my enthusiasm alone, but…
“E-Eh?”
There weren’t any controllers left…
………
……
…
In the end, after that, it was a like game tournament and everyone forgot about the contest.
“You’re good, Nekomura-san.”
“You too.”
The two looked at each other approvingly.
In the second battle, Tachibana senpai successfully defeated Kohaku, and in the next battle Kohaku won again.
This repeats itself in an even battle with no clear winner or loser.
The rivalry was not broken until the very end.
“Gggh… I’m so frustrated…”
“We couldn’t win after all~ But, there, there, Kanade-chan~ She already did her best~”
As expected, Saiai and Himesaki never won until the very end.
All the while, I kept being Kohaku’s chair.
——By the time I realized it, it was evening.
“I’m sorry, Suzume-kun. We ended up bothering you until this late…!”
When Tachibana-senpai noticed the passage of time, she apologetically lowered her head, but despite what she said, the friendly mood remained because everyone was having fun, including me.
If you genuinely play together for half a day, some degree of trust and bond might form.
With that, it was time to disband, albeit with only a few lingering regrets.
“Wa-wait, before I leave… Can I have a quick word?”
“Senpai? Is something wrong?”
“Today, I’ve done nothing but messed up… I’ve caused trouble for Suzume-kun and Nekomura-san… And I’m not really in a position to say something like this, but…”
“………?”
Unable to read senpai’s intent as she began to speak with a serious look, Kohaku and I exchanged glances.
“I had a lot of fun today. I feel like I can always have fun with you guys.”
Her long black hair fluttered beautifully.
Senpai exchanged glances with me, Kohaku, Himesaki and Saiai, one by one.
“I’ve already talked to Nekomura-san about this a few times… I have a proposal to make to all of you.”
When senpai turned her gaze back to me again, she had a soft smile that reminded me of that day when we established our fake relationship.
◇◆◇
When the guests left, the house where my parents had not yet returned was enveloped in silence.
It’s as if all the commotion of a few minutes ago was a dream.
However, it was definitely a day in which many things happened.
There was practice with Kohaku, which stopped midway.
A sudden visit from three beautiful girls.
And a suggestion made by Tachibana-senpai just before they went home.
I have a strangely certain feeling that this commotion will not end today.
The thought of this naturally brought a smile to my face.
——Pin, pon.
“Hmm…?”
The intercom rang unexpectedly.
Is it a new guest or did one of them forget something?
“Yes, yes.”
When I opened the front door, a girl was standing there, illuminated in the orange light, smiling more dazzlingly than the setting sun.
