When I Helped the Beautiful Sister Duo Being Hit On, I Ended Up Being Taken Home as a Thank You - Chapter 36: Celebration with Friends

Chapter 36: Celebration with Friends

“Hey, hey, what’s going on here?!” The moment we entered the classroom, all eyes were on us, and the noise around us escalated. However, instead of focusing on that, I was pulled along by my hand and asked by Kana.

It seemed like staying here would only add more trouble to the situation.

It was bound to turn into a mess. Being led by the hand, I was made to sit at Kana’s seat, the one she had been sitting in just moments before.

The stares from everyone around us felt piercing, but… “I’ve already heard, but are you two going out?”

Miku Nishino, Kana’s close friend, asked in a somewhat forceful manner.

It seemed that I had already been pressured into speaking and was forced to confess.

I cast a quiet glance at Kana, who was standing behind me. She silently nodded in acknowledgment.

Since it had already been exposed, there was no point in hiding it anymore. At this point, I didn’t care about the gazes of others.

What’s wrong with dating someone you like?

No matter what anyone says, I like Kana, and Kana likes me.

I don’t want anyone to interfere with our feelings.

As I thought about what to say in my mind, I responded boldly, “Yeah, so what?”

With this, the testimonies from both of us were aligned. Now, all that was left was to endure until things settled down.

“Seriously, congratulations! Kana finally has her spring!!”

“Huh?” Miku’s tone, which had been so forceful, suddenly changed as she hugged Kana and began to celebrate.

“I knew it! That picture was from a date, wasn’t it? You guys are so lucky, I’m so jealous of your青春(Seishun, youth)!” (Note: Seishun refers to the youthful, carefree period of one’s life, often tied to romance, friendships, and new experiences.)

“I had a feeling you two were getting along unusually well recently,” Miku continued.

“And you even helped her out from some guy trying to hit on her, huh? You really are a man with guts, Kinnoji-kun!”

The surrounding girls also joined in the celebration, surrounding us with warm congratulations.

What’s going on here? Instead of being criticized for dating, we were being showered with love and support.

This was nothing like what I expected. I was so sure this would be a disaster, but it turned out to be a complete surprise. 

Of course, I’m glad it turned out this way… but I never imagined we would be celebrated like this.

“Kana? What have you been telling them?” The thing I was most curious about was this.

At this rate, it felt like Kana had told everyone everything—from how we met to everything that had happened between us.

Did she even mention the part where she confessed to me in her underwear…?

“I told them that you helped me when I was being hit on, and I invited you to dinner as a thank you, and then I confessed to you,” Kana said shyly, explaining.

I guess she had been keeping that part a bit hidden.

With a smile, Miku patted Kana on the head. “Wow, Kana, you went for it, huh! Kinnoji-kun, you’re so lucky to get confessed to like that, that’s amazing!”

“Y-yeah, I’m glad…” I looked around and saw that no one was looking at us with disdain. Instead, I could hear voices of joy coming from all directions, and I let out a sigh of relief.
