While I Was Giving Love Advice to My Best Friend, the School's Most Beautiful Girl Somehow Became the Closest Person to Me-Chapter 3Volume 2 .5 - The Beautiful Girls Are Making Their Move

The Beautiful Girls Are Making Their Move

“That’s how you increase your allies. Amazing.”

“Kogure-kun, you’re too loud. Ahem, I want to be friends with Hiyori-chan. Will you be my friend?”

Hiyori nodded at Otsuki-san’s words.

“Mm, I’ll be friends with Shizuku.”

“Thank you. Then, Hiyori-chan, could you go wake up Reo-kun?”

“Okay.”

Hiyori dashed into Reo’s house. Hiyori had warmed up to her so quickly… As expected of Otsuki-san.

“And?”

She said it in an incredibly low voice.

“Today, you’re working at Alisa’s house, right? Why are you taking Hiyori-chan with you?”

“Otsuki-san, you have that intense look in your eyes.”

“After Tsumugi-san, now Hiyori-chan? Do you hate being alone with Alisa that much?”

Finally, she said something she would never say to Reo. But this was all within my expectations.

“This time, I informed Alisa in advance. In fact, it was Alisa who requested Hiyori’s presence. You should know that, Otsuki-san!”

“That’s true. Alisa would probably be happy. She talks about Hiyori-chan a lot.”

“Exactly.”

“Then maybe Alisa would be even happier if you dated her. Hiyori-chan would probably like to have a princess-like Onee-san too. Honestly, I’m not really the princess type.”

“You always twist the knife at just the right moment.”

“Today, when I went to wake her up, she was sleeping in her underwear. I took a photo, want to see?”

“I saw… ugh, no, I don’t want to see it.”

“Tch.”

Otsuki-san is trying to push me and Alisa together, regardless of my circumstances.

“But I don’t get it. I met with Alisa last night, but we didn’t talk about Hiyori-chan. That means you must have told Alisa to bring Hiyori-chan at the last minute, right?”

“Yes, that’s right. What about it?”

“Nii-Nii and Shizuku aren’t going?”

Hiyori, who had returned, asked.

“Hey, Hiyori-chan.”

“What?”

“Was it your idea to go to Alisa’s house, or did Onii-san suggest it?”

“Nii-Nii said we should go.”

“Oh noooooo!”

“Hiyori-chan, go back to Reo-kun for now. I’ll follow you later.”

“Okay!”

Hiyori went off! Wait, don’t leave me alone!

“Hey, Kogure.”

“Eek!”

“I’m going to lecture you for a bit now. It’ll take about two hours.”

“I really don’t want that!”

What an intimidating presence. Why am I so intimidated by Otsuki-san, who’s just a bit over 150 centimeters tall?

“I never thought Kogure-kun would be such a chicken. Remember how you lectured me when I had a fight with Alisa?”

“Ahaha, but that was because you were in the wrong, Otsuki-san. You think you’re in the wrong, so you’ve been wallowing in self-loathing, right? What are you talking about?”

“Irritating! Your brazenness is infuriating!”

I can say pretty much whatever I want to Otsuki-san. Well, it’s mutual, I suppose. Otsuki-san probably can’t be as harsh with Reo. And I don’t think I can express my true feelings to Alisa either.

“Why would Alisa be interested in someone like Kogure-kun…”

“I’ve thought the same thing myself.”

“I understand why Alisa is attracted to Kogure-kun, but I can’t sympathize.””It’s the same for me.”

When Reo fell in love with Otsuki-san, I wondered why… but as I got to know her, I began to understand the reasons. Reo will probably never let go of Otsuki-san. Even if she were my archenemy, Reo would surely continue to watch over her.

But while I understand Reo’s feelings, I can’t grasp Alisa’s. I can’t just believe everything because Otsuki-san says so. That’s why I get flustered and want to buy time by putting up walls.

“Come on, sit properly in seiza!”

“On the road!?”

“What’s with you, so noisy.”

The second-floor window of Reo’s house opens, and the face that appears is that of Hirasawa Reo, the most popular guy in school. He came out at just the right moment.

“Reo, help me out!”

“What’s wrong, Ryouma!”

Reo always comes to my rescue in times of crisis.

“I’m about to be chastised by Otsuki-san!”

“Reo-kun.”

My cry was overlaid by a cold voice.

“Hiyori-chan went to wake you up, so play together.”

“…Alright, got it.”

“What! Reo, you shouldn’t listen to what Otsuki-san says.”

“Sorry, Ryouma. Shizuku is my first priority. I’m going to see Hiyori.”

“Don’t leave me behind aaaaah!”

With that, the window was shut.

Left behind was Otsuki-san with an indescribable expression. What to do in this crisis! At that moment, a sharp sound suddenly rang out. It was from my smartphone. Thinking it was a chance, I answered the call, and it was Alisa.

“What’s up? I was about to bring Hiyori over to you, but I ran into Otsuki-san.”

“Sorry!”

It was a sudden apology.

“Actually, I just remembered I had another commitment today… I double-booked. I’m really sorry.”

“Oh, I see.”

It seemed there was a prior engagement she had forgotten about. When I asked her yesterday if it was okay to take Hiyori, she reflexively accepted, but this morning she remembered that it clashed with another matter.

“I’m really sorry! Hiyori-chan was looking forward to it too…”

“Yeah, she was excited to see her Onee-san.”

“Ugh…”

“But don’t worry. Hiyori is a good listener, and I’ll calm her down properly. So next time we meet, please pay attention to Hiyori. I’m sure everything will work out.”

“Ryouma, you’re so kind… Thank you, I’ll make sure this doesn’t happen again!”

After that, Alisa and I exchanged a few more words before ending the call. As soon as I hung up, Otsuki-san sighed.

“Alisa probably got the week wrong. She’s always been like that.”

“Typical childhood friends.”

“But your handling was perfect. This might make Alisa like Kogure-kun even more.”

“I don’t think that’s the case…”

I get embarrassed when it’s put that way. I just didn’t want to cause Alisa any trouble.

“If only Kogure-kun hadn’t used Hiyori-chan as an excuse, I could have been genuinely happy…”

“About that, ahaha…”

“Don’t laugh it off. So what are you going to do today? I don’t think Alisa will be back all day, so you can take a break from housekeeping.”

I see. It’s a shame to waste the preparation for going out. Considering Hiyori’s feelings, it would be best to go out and play somewhere.
