My Childhood Friend Attacked Me When I Declared That Her Birthday Present Was 'Me' - Chapter 2

Between Men and Women.

Throb- throb-

Everything hurts. First, my body hurts. I feel tired, like I’ve done 10 endurance runs…

Thump- thump- thump-

And my head hurts…

And finally… my throat also hurts.

I think I screamed quite a bit…

But now is not the time to be thinking such things.

I quickly get up from the bed…

Of course… right?

Of course, I’m completely naked. Nothing up and down.

And next to me is…

“Anh, Kouta~♪”

The sweet, soothing voice of Kaori…

Swoosh…

“Oh no! Clothes! Clothes!”

Kaori is now in her adorable naked form.

“Now? Now you’re saying that? It’s not the kind of line you say after we’ve done that~♪”

” ….. “

We’ve really done that…?

“We’re best friends, right?”

“Yeah, we’re best friends.”

“I mean, not as a man or woman, but as best friends who don’t care about gender or anything!”

“Well, only Kouta thinks so…”

“Huh…”

“For me, ever since I met you, Kouta… these 17 years, I’ve always dreamed of it turning out like this… To become more than just best friends, to have a true romantic relationship…”

She approaches me with a sultry voice… unintentionally, I take a step back.

“I… I have always, always, always, always, always, always dreamed of being Kouta’s girlfriend, Kouta’s special someone! And at a time like that… when I heard those words… [I am the [gift]!]… The screw that was holding me together came off and my sanity was blown away…So I did it…”

“Err… You… You’ve always liked me all this time…?”

“Yeah!”

She speaks the words, almost overlapping with my own, without really listening to me…

“Really…?”

“Really.”

Certainly, if I were asked whether I never saw her as the opposite sex, it would be a lie.

After all, Kaori is beautiful, gorgeous, and a stunning young lady-like… That’s what people around me say, and I think so too…

But… but before being of the opposite sex, we were best friends. That’s the feeling that was stronger, so I never thought about us that way…

“But, surprisingly, Kouta, you’re weak when you’re being pushed, huh? You kept saying things like [I can’t handle it anymore] or [I can’t take it anymore!]…♪”

“Get rid of that memory quickly!”
