Hey, Best Friend. How About A Kiss Today Too? - Chapter 78: "Then let's make it a competition!"

“Then let’s make it a competition!”

“No kissing anymore.”

Those words pierced deep.

Meeting Sagiri meant kissing, being alone with her meant being kissed.

The shock of losing the everyday routine of kissing, which had become so natural, was far greater than I had imagined.

But strangely, that shock calmed me down.

“No… It’s impossible, Sagiri.”

So, I said it. I told her.

Reflecting on the past month, it was clear that it wouldn’t work.

“It’s not impossible! I’ll make it happen!”

She’s just grumbling.

She’s completely entered tantrum mode.

The beautiful girl lying on her back on the bed squirmed and struggled.

She had a tendency to be stubborn in odd ways.

“Then I won’t do it either.”

“Huh?”

If pushing didn’t work, try pulling.

Her eyes widened in surprise, then quickly returned to their usual state.

“No, it’s impossible…”

She said it with a serious face.

A perfect parroting.

I felt a bit disheartened by how she perceived me.

Sure, I was shocked and hurt, but not being able to kiss wasn’t the end of the world… Right. I’m fine.

“It’s not impossible.”

“It’s impossible, Renji.”

“No, Sagiri, it’s not impossible.”

“I’m telling you, it is.”

“It’s not impossible for me.”

“You were kissing me so much.”

“Don’t talk about ‘kissing’. You were doing it too.”

“That’s a lie. Renji, when you get obsessed, you become really mean with your kisses.”

“Then you’re no different. Besides, who initiated it first? It was you, Sagiri.”

That’s right.

Our relationship changed with Sagiri’s first kiss.

Since then, she had been finding opportunities to kiss me relentlessly. With Sagiri, who couldn’t resist kissing me, there was no way she could endure not kissing me for a long time.

“But recently, Renji initiates more often!”

“That’s not true! It’s mutual!”

Certainly, I’ve been initiating more, but that’s because Sagiri is just too irresistible.

I’m not to blame. The trouble lies with Sagiri, who is beautiful, cute, but also a handful.

“No, that’s not it! When you came to visit me, I told you not to, but you wouldn’t let go!”

“Oh, that was to help cure your cold, so it couldn’t be helped! Besides, if that’s the case, you should’ve said no too, but you still licked my tongue!”

“Oh, I just wanted to taste it! If we’re talking about frequency, Renji’s ahead!”

“No, overall, Sagiri has more! The number of kisses has increased every day since we started, I haven’t forgotten!”

“I haven’t forgotten either! There’s no way I could forget! I remember every time Renji kissed me!”

“I remember too! I counted every time Sagiri kissed me!”

“Well, I write it down in my diary every day!”

“I think about kissing Renji from the moment he leaves until I fall asleep!!”

“I dream about kissing Renji!!”

“I’m more accurate!”

“I’m right!!”

A kiss argument erupted.

I don’t even remember how this conversation started.

“Then let’s make it a competition!”

“…A competition?”

“Yes! The one who can’t resist and kisses first loses! The loser has to do whatever the winner says! The winner is right! It’s simple, isn’t it?”

I’ve challenged you to a game: if you kiss after saying you won’t, you lose.

When faced with such a blood-boiling challenge from you, I, who had cooled down for a moment, responded.

“Fine! It’s better than just going back and forth like this! And remember, no hard feelings afterward!”

Of course, I accepted.

In this situation, there’s no one who would refuse. To do so would mean admitting defeat.

This was a showdown of our pride, a serious contest to see whose feelings were stronger: yours or mine.
