The Case Where I Got into an All Girls-only Party via Cross-Dressing. But When They Found Out About it, Instead of Getting Immediately Kicked Out, Everyone Was Trying to Seduce Me.

Chapter 18

Ignoring my prostrated self, Kayla placed the coffee she was holding on the table and sat on the sofa. She patted the space next to her a few times, indicating for me to sit there. Following her instructions, I sat down sideways, still in the position of bowing, because of which I ended up being slightly leaned up against Kayla.

However, she immediately moved away from me. Even though we’re childhood friends, yet to think she doesn’t allow any invasion of her personal space.

Well, considering what happened yesterday, it’s understandable i guess. It’s what I call the “Kayla Shojo Manga Reading Incident.” From my point of you, it truly was a delightful event, but probably not in the case of her.

“So, you’ve at last decided to invite me after all. It’s fine though, but if there’s one thing that concerns me, it’s that I won’t be able to contribute much in combat itself. After all, you’re all combat experts unlike me. Also, since I use ‘desu’ and ‘masu’ at the end of my sentence, my character collides with that of Mirai-san as well.”

“Characters colliding with each other you say… Rather than that, in case of combat, couldn’t you do something with bow and arrows, Kayla? We’ll support you with all our might as well.”

As I said that, Kayla fell silent for a moment, then moved closer, narrowing the distance between me and her. Then she peered into my face from below and asked her next question.

“When I’m in pinch, will you be the first to rush to my side?”

“Well, I am your partner after all. Also, I am a cool knight-san as well you know?”

I reply in a slightly joking manner. But regardless of my answer, she peered straight into the eyes and asked me the question again with her beautiful eyes. It was as if she wouldn’t let me escape from that.

“Will you protect me, Kayla, not just as a partner of the same party, but also as an individual?”

“That–that is…”

“I–I’m sorry. I guess that was a little selfish of me. I’ll reflect on it.”

Saying that, with a slightly sad expression, she tried to get up from the sofa.

No, maybe I have been making a misconception up untill now. Being too drunk in pride over the position I have that, without even thinking I was taking advantage of Kayla’s kindness, who was always willing to accept anything I ask from her.

Then, the course of action that I should be taking here is naturally determined isn’t it? Thinking that, I took hold of Kayla’s hand as she tried to leave.

“Wait a minute, Kayla.”

“Nn? Is there something else you need? I was just trying to cool off my head a bit.”

She seemed to leave this place immediately if possible. She wouldn’t even meet my gaze straightforward.

“Just like when I was little, I would even throw myself in front of anything, all for Kayla’s sake. I’m Kayla’s knight, after all. So, will you also fight alongside me from now on?”

When I said that, Kayla lips began to open and close in short intervals. It seemed like she was still hesitant to give an answer, but right when I was about to press further, she opened her mouth, making her words overlapping with my response.

“I unde… “I need you, Kayla. I want you to stay by my side.”

I inadvertently took hold of her hand. I thought she would immediately let go of it, but instead she lightly squeezed back, and with a smiled squeezed out words with a hint of tears.

“…I’ll follow my master. Since that time, since that time when you saved by desregarding your own life in danger, since then my feelings haven’t changed even a slightest bit. That’s why I’ve been following Ariann until now. Please take care of me from now on as well.”

With saying only those words, she returned to her room. Her footsteps seemed light, as if she might break into a sprint at any moment now. I squeezed up my right hand as if trying to remembering the sensation I had while holding her hand.

“What was that, just now… Isn’t she way too cute.”

Left alone in the living room, an adolescent boy continued to feel restless.

But, on the other hand, there also was an adolescent girl was also in agony. There was nothing in Pink colour; at first glance it doesn’t feel like a room of an adoloscent girl, but on the other hand, that girl was curled up on her bed while huddling a stuffed bear in her arms.

“Wait, wait. Maybe, I have pushed in a bit too much……”

Saying that, she increased the strength with which he was holding the bear a little. And then she buried her face in it and mumbled again. All while flapping her legs right and left on the bed.

“I can’t be helped now can it. He is just that thick headed.”

Saying that, she sighed and began to get her dress ready for bath.
