Episode 18: Okami-kun… Won’t Yield to Anyone

I became friends with Okami-kun…

Ever since becoming friends with him, I’ve been trying hard not to let him see my face, as I might end up grinning.

Just becoming friends makes me nervous…

Okami-kun, despite claiming to like solitude, agreed to be friends with me… he’s surprisingly tsundere.

“Saeki. Since there are fewer people now, do you mind if I go check on the class?”

“Sure, I don’t mind—”

Wait. On second thought…

If Okami-kun goes to check the classroom → gets excited seeing Michifuji-san and Machibari-san in their maid outfits → things could go south.

…That’s definitely possible.

“I’ll go.”

“Huh, you’ll go, Saeki?”

“…Be grateful.”

“O… Okay.”

Okami-kun responded with a puzzled look.

Why am I getting so worked up over this?

I don’t want him to get close to Michifuji-san or Machibari-san.

Besides, for someone who claims to like solitude, Okami-kun is quite the womanizer.

Thinking of all my complaints about him, I climbed to the third floor to check on my classroom.

As expected, there were Michifuji-san in her cat-ear maid outfit and Machibari-san, who seemed embarrassed but was serving customers in a maid outfit, probably forced into it.

Just as I thought.

If Okami-kun had come here… it wouldn’t have ended well. Feeling relieved, I entered the classroom. Noticing me, Michifuji-san walked over.

“Saeki-chan, good work!”

Michifuji-san, always with her cunning smile, looked up at me.

I know she’s a good person, but she feels like she belongs to a different world.

“Huh? Is Kotoku-kun still working?”

I nodded slightly.

“I see—”

Michifuji-san looked clearly disappointed, apologized with an “ahaha, sorry,” and smiled again.

Such a sly question… Does that lolicon Okami-kun like girls like her?

“You have that look like, ‘Why are you obsessed with Kotoku-kun?’.”

I didn’t give her such a look.

“Saeki-chan, I don’t know how you feel about Kotoku-kun, but you know, he’s actually a good guy?”

“……”

“For example, the Lime message Kotoku-kun sent you the other day! I actually asked him to send that, but it was annoyingly overbearing, right?”

I nodded firmly. It was indeed overbearing, but more than that, it was surprising.

“Kotoku-kun has always been pretentious and twisted, but when it counts, he steps up. He acts tough, but he’s really kind.”

I know. I know all of it.

Okami-kun always replies to my Lime messages no matter what, and even when I thought he’d ignore our cafe plan, he showed up on time.

So, of course, I know that Okami-kun is serious and reliable.
“I want Kotoku-kun to make lots of friends and become more honest. That’s why I want to be by his side and support him. After all, I’m his only childhood friend!”

Her dazzling heroine’s aura was trying to thaw my cold heart.

I don’t want to lose to this girl…

“I think so too.”

“E… Eh, Saeki-chan, you spoke!”

“It’s not just you…”

With that, I turned on my heels. The classroom is fine. Time to go back to Okami-kun.

“Sa… Saeki-san!”

As I was about to leave the classroom, a boy stopped me, the same one who had made Okami-kun take on the committee work.

“I… I have a favor to ask!”
