When Two Wounded Hearts Find Solace In Each Other, Snow White (The School's Beauty) And I Were Mistakenly Labeled As A Silly Couple. - Chapter 75: Interactions Between Girls.

Interactions Between Girls.

“You two really are an idiot couple.”

During the break after the first class, a female classmate approached us.

Although it’s not necessary to engage in PDA in the classroom, we are still holding hands.

It seems that the girl who approached us is not bullying Himeno.

Perhaps because Himeno looks more approachable now that she’s holding hands with me, the classmate found it easier to strike up a conversation.

“Ninomiya-san.”

I gaze at the girl who spoke to us.

She—Ninomiya Tsukasa, seems to have a friendly personality.

With black hair bobbed on one side, large caramel-colored double eyelids, and a model-like slender figure, she’s a striking beauty. While she may not stand out much due to the presence of the beautiful Himeno, she is undoubtedly popular.

“White Snow seems to be looking good lately. The genuine smile now is completely different from the forced ones before.”

She seems to be the type to express her thoughts clearly.

Indeed, Himeno’s smile might be better than before.

Several classmates are nodding in agreement.

“Is that so?”

Seemingly unaware, Himeno appears a bit surprised.

“Yeah. I guess having a boyfriend changes things, huh? The current White Snow looks genuinely happy.”

“B-Boyfriend…”

With those words from Tsukasa, Himeno’s face turns as red as a ripe apple.

Though we’re not officially dating yet, it seems she gets embarrassed when people bring it up.

I plan to confess and start dating after the exams are over.

“Embarrassed Snow White is adorable.”

Tsukasa lightly pokes Himeno’s cheek.

Himeno doesn’t resist; she simply looks embarrassed by the sudden gesture.

While Himeno and I engage in more embarrassing activities, it seems she has zero tolerance for such actions from others.

Perhaps due to past experiences of being bullied by girls or enduring harsh treatment from her supposed sister, Hinata, she might be a bit wary of same-gender interactions.

She can communicate clearly with Marika and Miki, likely because they’re trusted childhood friends and underclassmen, but it’s different with classmates.

Himeno, in her current state, doesn’t resist.

“Let’s refrain from touching Himeno.”

Even though I don’t physically intervene, I stop Tsukasa from poking her.

“Taka-kun, I’m fine.”

Seemingly due to spending time with me, Himeno’s fears seem to have diminished, and she offers a gentle smile.

If it were the Himeno from a little while ago, she might have escaped in embarrassment and fear.

But now, it seems she’s genuinely okay.

“As long as you are okay, Himeno.”

I don’t get jealous about girl talk or interactions.

“You have the approval of your boyfriend, Takahashi-kun, so feel free to interact as much as you want.”

With a playful grin, Tsukasa uses both hands to lightly poke Himeno’s cheeks.

Perhaps Tsukasa just enjoys interacting with other girls.

While it might not be a yuri situation, it’s probably easier for them to chat and be relaxed with the same gender.

This sensation is something that Takashi, who doesn’t have close female friends, might not fully understand.

“It, it tickles a bit.”

It seems that Himeno’s embarrassment has lessened somewhat, as she gives a slight smile.

Having a female acquaintance who treats her kindly like this might make her happy.

Considering Tsukasa’s personality, she probably doesn’t have ulterior motives unlike Miki or Hinata.

Perhaps that’s why she wants to be friends with Himeno.

“You can do it too, Shirayuki-san.”

With a gesture inviting Himeno to reciprocate, Tsukasa turns her cheek toward her.

“Well, then…”

Seeming a bit nervous, Himeno tentatively pokes Tsukasa’s cheek with her finger.

Tsukasa’s cheek feels soft, and Himeno thinks she’d like to try it herself.

She’ll ask Tsukasa to let her poke her cheek next time.

“Now we’re friends, right?”

“Y-Yes.”

It was the moment when Himeno gained a female friend.
