The result of keeping my childhood friend company since we were little ~ Spoiling my childhood friend who has become dere dere

“Well, let’s leave us out of it…Yuki.”

“What?”

“Did you go shopping?”

“Yes, I went… I felt safe outside with Yuu. I was very nervous, but it was fun.”

“I see. Do you like Yuu-kun, Yuki?”

“…I really love him.”

What? What is this situation?

Yuki answered Tooru-san’s question and bashedly spoke fondly. I am the one who is in charge of this situation, and I am very uncomfortable being here.

“Are you happy to be able to live together?”

“Yeah…”

Like I said, what is this situation!?

“Call it a celebration, but I bought some household items and appliances that looked good and had them placed in a full ladies packet. If you don’t like it, feel free to call me out.”

“Thank you.”

“Now, if you’ll excuse us, we have to be off.”

“Are you leaving already?”

I agree with that. They’ve only been here about ten minutes.

“Apparently, two people over here are closing in on us.”

Tooru-san showed me the screen of his smartphone. The screen showed something that made sense to me. There was a pin on the map showing the location of two people, Okaa-san and Yuka-san.

It also seemed that they were coming this way after meeting up with each other.

“Okaa-san is coming. So is Mother-in-law.”

“We’ve left it to them to bring the clothes and so on. It’s not surprising if they come.”

“Well, then, I guess I’ll be leaving too.”

“Yuu, are you leaving, too?”

“It’d be weird if there was one boy in the girls’ group, wouldn’t it?”

“Yeah, but…”

Yuki looked sad, but I couldn’t give in on this one. I had just said such an embarrassing goodbye to my mother, and I didn’t think my mental capacity would hold up to seeing her a few hours later.

“So, let’s go.”

“…No, it’s getting late…”

“Eh…?”

After my dad muttered something small, it was heard. It was the sound of someone unlocking the door to one of the rooms in this apartment and entering.

And then…

“Checkmate, dear. And, Yuu-chan ♡”

“Guhah…!”

“Y-Yuu…”

The opening blow hits me directly, destroying my spirit, and I fall down in a heap. Yuki patted me on the back to heal me. It was the first time she fulfilled her role as a supporter.

“W-Why? I was sure your location was…”

“I just left my phone with Yuka and I came here first. No one can escape from here until Yuka arrives.”

“H-Hiroto. Can we do nothing about this?”

Where did his usual composure go? Tooru-san displayed an impatient expression on his face.

“We can’t…”

Otou-san replied with a resigned look on his face.

“There’s no way we can get away with this. I’m not ready to run away unprepared.”

“You don’t have to compliment me so much, okay?”

“I’m not complimenting you. I’m just saying I’m appalled.”

“…”

Tooru-san tried to escape while Okaa-san was talking with Otou-san. However, Okaa-san grabbed him by the neck and captured him.

“If you’re a man, just shut up and give her a squeeze.”

“Ku… Yuka wasn’t the kind of woman to ask for such a thing… She was always vulnerable and made you want to protect her…”

“Just like Yuki now, right…?”

“!?”

The one who was upset by those words was not Tooru-san, but me.

I didn’t think that Yuki would become a formidable woman like Yuka-san…

I tried to imagine Yuki in that case.

“Yuu~ look, look, it’s okay to touch me, right?”

Yeah… I’m sure I would touch her without hesitation. And I am confident that she will be very cute.

“…Yuka was trying her best to ‘be strong for Tooru-kun’ you know? She changed because she didn’t like her weak self, but you won’t accept it?”

“Yuka said that…?”

“Yes… you need to think about what you should do.”

After Mom finished what could be called a warning to Tooru-san, the brunt of her words was now directed at me. But the tip was not sharp, but soft. That is why they are so bad.

“Yuu-chan.”

“W-What is it?”

“I’m glad to have Yuu-chan as my son too. Thanks, Yuu-chan.

“Kahah…!”

“Y-Yuu!”

I was hit by the second wave, my spirit was gutted and I fell down on the spot.
