Hey, Best Friend. How About A Kiss Today Too? - Chapter 76: "Renji said it!"

“Renji said it!”

“A fight!? What!?”

When I woke up in the morning, my childhood friend, who had left in tears the other day, was straddling my stomach and declared war on me.

I really have no clue what she’s thinking.

Yesterday, I spent the whole day pondering whether or not to contact her, and she just came and smashed through that invisible barrier without considering my thoughts at all.

There are many things I want to say. But the option that should have been at the forefront—apologizing—got lost in the confusion of her words.

“A fight!!”

Responding to my question with another round of the word ‘fight’.

It seemed like fighting had become the common catchphrase  here. Of course, it made no sense.

“Renji said it!”

“What on earth did I say!? Say the subject!”

Sagiri, sitting on top of me, looked down and lightly tapped my chest. I thought it was going to be a verbal argument, but it turned into a physical one.

Actually, it doesn’t hurt at all. I’m starting to feel the weakness of my former sickly self. Rather, the pressure on my abdomen is more uncomfortable.

“You said you didn’t want to be friends with me anymore, Renji!”

Her cheeks, which were white a moment ago, puffed up and turned red as if they were about to burst. She looked just like a child.

“I-I didn’t say I didn’t want to be friends with you anymore! I-I just…”

“That’s not true! You forgot what Renji said! So it’s a fight! If you’re friends, you fight!!”

“Then say the subject! What are you talking about!?”

Do we have a rule that we have to make noise on the bed?

Unlike the last time on Sagiri’s bed, at least I’m not shirtless this time. But still, Sagiri is wearing her usual loose and worn-out T-shirt, so she’s still defenseless. Especially around the chest area.

“I’ll always be your friend forever!!”

Her pale-colored eyes suddenly sharpened like a threatening cat’s stare.

Sagiri is serious. I still don’t know why this happened, but this serious expression is genuine.

“So I’ve been thinking about a lot of things!”

“…Why are you speaking in a presentation tone?”

“Because I’m making a presentation!”

Well, that’s fair, but this situation is anything but fair. It’s more of a surprise attack than a fight.

“I’ll tell you how wonderful it is to have a friend like you, you forgetful idiot Renji!”

“W-What do you mean, forgetful idiot…!?”

She finally directly insulted me. But in this situation, I think Sagiri is the idiot instead.

And what does she mean by “forgetful”?

“Specifically, here are all the great things about being friends with me!”

“Are you trying to sell something online?”

“No returns allowed!”

“Isn’t this some kind of shady business practice!?”

What is this, a comedy routine?

From fighting to surprise attacks, from surprise attacks to presentations, from presentations to insults, from insults to online shopping, from online shopping to comedy routines.

It’s chaos.

“Just listen!”

“Nothing about this is good, though!?”

Today, Sagiri is just incredibly pushy.

It’s better than the awkward her, but she’s much more forceful than usual.

“Here, give me your hand!”

Before I could protest, my right hand was grabbed by both of Sagiri’s hands. Her delicate hands, which felt like those of a girl, grabbed my wrist and pulled—

“Huh? My hand!”

—fwip.

That’s probably the sound it made.

For some reason, Sagiri grabbed my right hand and pressed it against her left chest and aaahhhhhhhh!?

“W-What the hell are you doing!?”

“I’m letting Renji touch my boobs!!”

“I didn’t ask for an explanation!!”

My right hand was being overwhelmed by an unfamiliar sensation. It sank into something soft and elastic, fitting perfectly in my hand. What was pressed against me earlier was now in my hand… or rather, it was pressed into my hand.

“W-What are you doing!?”

“I-I-I-I-I’m telling you, if you’re friends with me, you can do th-th-th-this kind of thing all the time!”

“Why are you blushing and trembling while saying that!?”

I thought she had lost her shame due to her rampage, but it turned out not to be the case. Her face was redder than when she puffed up her cheeks earlier, the reddest Sagiri had ever been.

“I-I-I-I-I won’t let go until Renji says he wants to be friends with me!!”

“That’s not what friends do!!”

Wait, she came here to fight, right? Sagiri, you came here to fight, right!? Then why are you letting me touch your boobs!?
