What's Wrong With Interfering With My Childhood Friend's Love? - Chapter 34 : Reliable Miumi

Chapter 34 : Reliable Miumi

“…So, that’s what happened.”

As we ate dinner, I told her about what had happened today. Miumi put down her chopsticks and seemed to be deep in thought.

For me, I had just brought it up casually, but it seemed to mean something different to Miumi.

“I’m sorry… I actually have an idea about how the information got leaked.”

“Hm? Oh, you mean about someone Yuto-kun knows?”

“No, I think it was one of my classmates — a friend of mine.”

“Oh, really?”

“Yes. Should I explain the situation properly to this Yuto-san as well?”

Since Miumi was the student council president of Nishikiba, she might have felt some sense of responsibility. It was surprising at first, but she had a strong sense of duty, no less than Amakishi.

In my view, this whole situation was just some guys, including Yuto-kun, getting jealous of Akito. So, I wondered if bringing it up now was unnecessary.

“No, that’s an issue for Higashikiba to handle. There is no need for it.”

“I see.”

“But I think you should talk to the person who leaked the information.”

“Of course.”

“That said, I doubt they expected it to turn into such a mess at Higashikiba, so I don’t think we need to be too harsh on them.”

“…Riku-kun, do you think I’m strict?”

“I do.”

“Why did you answer so quickly…? At school, I usually leave that kind of thing to Kaori-san, so I don’t go around scolding people all the time.”

Now that she mentioned it, Miumi didn’t seem like the strict type when she was outside of school. I thought about it while recalling her friendly nature.

But there was one thing she seemed to forget.

“No, no, you’re strict with me. Like how you never let me eat instant food…”

But that was the only example that came to mind. Maybe she wasn’t as strict as I thought?

“You denied it before, but do you actually like instant food?”

“Not really.”

“Hmm… Then it should be fine, right?”

“Ah, well, when you put it that way—”

“Being healthy is the most important thing. You even asked me yesterday to stay up late for you, so I can’t be that strict.”

“…I see.”

Something still felt off. Maybe because Miumi had come here as a caretaker, I had developed a strange bias. The truth was, both Charo and I had been relying on her, so calling her a ‘caretaker’ wasn’t just for show.

“Anyway, back to the topic—I’ll ask the person I have in mind about it later.”

“Please do. I’m glad you’re the student council president, Miumi.”

“I only ended up in that position because Kaori-san pushed it onto me.”

“Even so, you took on a tough role. Thanks.”

When I expressed my gratitude, Miumi started blowing on her miso soup to cool it down, even though she wasn’t sensitive to heat. She was being modest, but I knew Amagishi wasn’t the kind of person to just assign someone an important role on a whim. She must have seen Miumi’s strong sense of responsibility.

“More importantly, let’s talk about your school. Are you really okay? You know you shouldn’t get into fights, right?”

“Of course not. Even when those flashy guys picked a fight with me, I tried to resolve it through talking, remember?”

“That’s true, but Kaori-san always says that men fight all the time, and that it’s barbaric.”

What kind of nonsense was Amagishi filling her head with? She was still pushing the idea that men were wild animals. Well, to be fair, I also worried that Miumi might get deceived by some random guy, so it wasn’t completely wrong to be cautious.

“I won’t deny it. Guys can be dangerous, so don’t go following them around, alright?”

“I wouldn’t do that.”

“Good.”

“Riku-kun, you shouldn’t just follow women around either.”

“Like I’d ever get that kind of opportunity…”

And if I did, it would probably be a setup or a scam. I could spot those people a mile away.

After all, my mom had taught me well.

“Jokes aside… I’m still worried. What if you get hurt?”

“Yuto-kun isn’t that kind of guy. He’s a model student.”

“Even if you don’t need bandages, at least carry some with you.”

“Are you even listening to me?”

“I am.”

“Fine, fine… I’ll bring some with me, okay?”

Since I didn’t outright deny it, I might have ended up making Amagishi’s claims sound more credible. She wasn’t going to budge on this, so I gave in. And well, it wasn’t a bad idea to carry some plasters just in case.

“But see? You are strict, after all.”

“Ah… If you really don’t want to, you can just ignore what I said.”

“No, I wasn’t blaming you.”

“I know.”

“I get that you’re just being cautious, and I shouldn’t have said too much. My bad.”

It was an old habit of mine. It happened a lot when talking with Chiya, too — I had a tendency to nitpick. Maybe it was because I saw Miumi as someone I could be completely honest with. Still, I regretted it.

“Cha! Charo!”

Just then, Charo, who usually didn’t show up during meals, suddenly appeared and purred as if saying, ‘That’s right.’

Lately, my little angel hasn’t been taking my side.

Charo was even stricter with me than Miumi.
