I Was Reincarnated as a Creepy Fat Guy, Then Trained Myself Without Sleep. And Then, for Some Reason, the Heroines Start Approaching Me - Chapter 32: Kanna and Marin
The two who entered the cafe ordered drinks and several macarons, then took their orders and sat down.
Kanna wore a long skirt with a summer knit top, while Marin sported shorts and a shirt.
Their attire, coupled with their figures that tantalized men’s minds, didn’t particularly stand out, yet they emitted an unusual aura.
The shop, likely appealing to girls, was overflowing with young female customers, some even in couples.
Watching a couple enjoying food affectionately with physical contact, Kanna and Marin, while envious, recalled their respective crushes and glanced back hesitantly.
“Kanna-chan, how’s it going with the person you have a crush on?”
Marin asked mischievously, lifting the corner of her mouth, exuding a hint of sensuality.
“U-umm… it’s going quite well, I think…”
Embarrassed, Kanna replied, inwardly smiling.
Observing her reaction, Marin, intrigued, let out a curious sigh before continuing.
“Huh, Kanna-chan, you’re usually so guarded, so I was worried, but things are progressing! So? Did you exchange contacts, hold hands or something?”
Leaning forward with excitement, Marin asked, her eyes sparkling. In her enthusiasm, a giant marshmallow on her plate bounced.
Observing her childhood friend’s reaction, Kanna flushed deeper, sheepishly shrugged her shoulders, and muttered almost inaudibly.
“We… kissed.”
“Eh!?”
Marin, inadvertently producing an uncharacteristic sound, displayed a horrified expression.
“But you’re not officially dating, right?”
“Y-yeah…”
“Then, h-how did it happen?”
Marin, now seated on the edge of her seat with excitement, asked while gasping for breath.
“I felt strange, so I asked about a few things, then he hugged me from behind… and then…!”
Seeing Kanna’s face, Marin could only express shock.
Until now, Kanna hadn’t shown much interest in romance or boys.
However, now, she vividly remembered the kissing scene, displaying the face of a woman in heat.
Impressed internally by the man who had managed to bring out this side of her childhood friend’s sister, Marin blushed faintly from her wheat-colored complexion and then began her own story.
“I see… actually, something incredible happened to me too…”
“Eh? You too!?”
“Yeah.”
“What happened?”
This time, Kanna, with a curious glint in her transparent blue eyes, caught Marin’s attention.
“If my brother hadn’t come home, I might have… graduated from being a virgin, kind of?”
“Eeeeeh!?!”
“W-wait! Kanna-chan, keep it down!”
To calm down Kanna, who raised her voice in surprise, Marin put a finger on her lips.
“Ah, sorry.”
Kanna whispered an apology, then exhaled sensually. After checking her demeanor, Marin continued.
“I’m usually in control when I’m with guys, but that time, I was completely taken by surprise!”
“It’s amazing… to overwhelm Marin like that, that guy must be really wild.”
“Yeah. Itsuki-chi is seriously the best… He’s super handsome, tall, kind, and his muscles are insane… Oh… if I get trapped in those sturdy arms again, I might lose all my reason…”
Marin, forgetting to eat her macaron, exhaled deeply. Kanna, in an excited state, imagined what might have happened to Marin, but eventually, something seemed to catch her attention, and her eyes widened.
“Itsuki,..”
“Yeah! His name’s Itsukii! He’s a year older than me and, um… we took purikura pictures the other day, but I forgot to send them because it started raining~ I’ll show you now!”
Marin, appearing to have fun, took out her phone and scrolled to the best photo, then handed it to Kanna.
The mobile screen displayed a harmonious image of a boy and a girl in school uniforms, getting along well.
“Whaaa!”
Kanna couldn’t close her open mouth.
“Isn’t it great? High school boys are usually childish and not interesting, but Itsuki-chi is seriously different!”
“…”
“Hmm? What’s wrong?”
Saying so, Marin grinned while urging the frozen Kanna to continue with her gaze.
Kanna’s mind worked at full throttle.
How to smooth things over in this situation.
Pretend not to know?
Be honest?
Support Itsuki to have such a relationship with Marin?
Countless thoughts tormented Kanna.
If, hypothetically, the guy displayed on this screen wasn’t Itsuki but someone she liked, she might have yielded.
But imagining Marin having a relationship with him
Her chest, which was already ample, tightened painfully.
Itsuki embraced her fully in the classroom, kneading the chest that had never been touched by a man before.
And then, her first kiss…
Would he do more with other girls?
The pain in her chest was incomparable to when she found out about his and her mother’s relationship.
Was she jealous of Marin, who was like a younger sister?
Such an unsightly feeling of jealousy was something Kanna thought she had no connection to, but she was aware.
No, perhaps it was Kanna’s womanly instinct that made her realize.
Her unwavering feelings about Itsuki.
As Marin said, he’s handsome, tall, kind, and has an incredible physique. But that’s not all.
He’s the guy who helped her.
He’s… the guy who changed her.
Yet, to do things with another girl?
While gazing into Marin’s emerald-colored eyes fixed on themselves as usual, a certain phrase suddenly sounded like an auditory hallucination.
[Even if he had a girlfriend, even if there were many girls interested in him… you could just snatch him.]
This was the phrase Marin uttered at the parfait shop the other day.
All you have to do is take it away. All you have to do is take it away. All you have to do is take it away. All you have to do is take it away. All you have to do is take it away. All you have to do is take it away. All you have to do is take it away. All you have to do is take it away. All you have to do is take it away. All you have to do is take it away.
Why did she try to be considerate of Marin?
Was it because they had been close friends since a long time ago?
No, there was no longer any need for that.
Because…
That man who took her lips away provided the guiding answer.
[Well, it’s not like Kanna and Hayama are dating or are family, right? They’re complete strangers, so I don’t think you need to feel burdened by whatever that person does.]
At that time, Itsuki pointed out the relationship between her and Shota, but this logic could be applied to them and Marin.
Therefore…
Kanna speaks.
“I kissed this guy, Itsuki.”
“Huh?”
“Kondo Itsuki. He’s my classmate and sits next to me.”
The bewildered figure of Marin, with eyes ablaze with blue flames, was beautifully reflected. However, Marin’s face…
Gradually…
Gradually…
Began to change.
The gaze emitted from Marin’s narrowed emerald-colored eyes was incredibly sharp, as if red flames were fiercely burning.
