Chapter 38: The Protagonists of the Romantic Comedy
After exchanging greetings.
Kaname took a long time to explain things clearly to Nagi.
That strange little booklet was just a misunderstanding.
It was simply a friend who forcibly stuffed it into her backpack.
Although it sounded a bit forced, the truth was as such.
To this, Nagi showed a skeptical expression… but didn’t express it.
Instead, she had a relieved attitude as if saying, “I understand, you don’t need to explain further.”
In fact, it was this attitude that pierced Kaname’s heart the most.
“Well, although it’s your freedom, Kaname-kun… I think you might need to consider the feelings of the girls who might like you…”
In the end, Nagi seemed to emphasize this quite seriously.
“…No, how could any girl like someone like me?”
Kaname shook his head.
Although he said it in a teasing tone, his words carried a hint of despair.
“Eh~ Could it be that guy is…” A bold assumption popped into Nagi’s mind, as she mumbled to herself.
“Mm? What did you say, Nagi?”
“Ah, no, I didn’t say anything!” Nagi only then realized.
It turned out she had a habit of speaking her thoughts aloud?
She was the black long-haired, straight-haired beautiful childhood friend who occasionally murmured her inner thoughts…
Did she have too many attributes?
Nagi felt that her self-awareness label had increased.
After finishing this topic.
Nagi planned to follow Kaname to the teacher’s office first.
After entering the school building, with Kaname’s help, she found her shoe locker.
During the time she was changing into her indoor shoes.
Many students brushed past her, cautiously greeting her.
Among them, a cute student caught Nagi’s attention.
With chestnut-colored short hair tied in little braids at the back, big sparkling eyes, and an incredibly cute face from any angle, she was a beautiful girl.
But for some reason, this beautiful girl was wearing a boy’s uniform.
Does this school encourage freedom in uniforms?
At the same time, she saw the boyish beautiful girl walking straight towards Kaname and whispering something in his ear.
She occasionally glanced at Nagi.
This made Nagi feel a bit uneasy.
It was obvious they were discussing her.
But what truly piqued Nagi’s curiosity was—
What was their relationship? They seemed very close.
And one of them was a cute beautiful girl…
Could she be the girl Kaname likes!?
Am I merely a cat sneaking in to steal love!?
Nagi’s brain started to get a bit chaotic.
Until that chestnut-haired beautiful girl approached her.
“Good morning, Nagi… Long time no see? I hope it’s okay to say that, haha~”
Surprisingly.
The voice that came from this beautiful girl seemed somewhat gender-neutral.
“Do you remember me, Nagi? I’m Ryo, Ryoha Gray.” The chestnut-haired beautiful girl pointed to herself, “We chatted in the Line group last night…”
Nagi indeed had an impression of that name.
It was mentioned in her diary.
She remembered it was a close friend of Kaname… but Ryoha Gray shouldn’t be a boy, right?
Nagi felt several question marks forming above her head at that moment.
“Ah, that’s true~” The other party seemed to understand why Nagi reacted that way, brushing aside her somewhat feminine bangs to explain, “Actually, I’m a boy.”
“Eh—!?”
Nagi felt lightning strike the back of her head.
That, that adorable child is actually a boy!?
And a close friend of Kaname!?
“Is, is that true? So you’re Gray-sempai… I’m really sorry, I didn’t recognize you…”
“Well, well~ After all, Nagi right now… Anyway, let’s not talk about that. Just call me Ryo-kun like you used to, okay?”
“I understand, please take care of me, Ryo-kun…”
“Yes, yes, I’m in the same class as you, so if you have any troubles, feel free to come to me anytime.”
And his personality is so gentle!?
So the reason Kaname isn’t interested in a beautiful childhood friend like me is—
“No, it’s not like that—!”
Has Kaname been looked at like this too many times?
He immediately reacted to the way Nagi was looking at him and hurriedly explained.
“I and Ryo are just normal friends, I don’t have that kind of interest—”
“Mm, I understand. So Kaname-kun doesn’t need to be so anxious.” Hearing this, Nagi nodded, showing an understanding attitude: “Everyone has their own—”
So it’s like this~
Kaname is…
Though I respect everyone’s freedom regarding orientation.
But Kaname, do you need others to respect your “freedom” that seems a bit… too complicated?
You’re still underage, aren’t you?
Were you misled by some bad person? As your childhood friend, I’m very worried.
“So it’s really not like that!” Kaname shouted in exasperation.
Meanwhile, Ryo was observing this pair of childhood friends: “You guys seem no different from usual; has Nagi really lost her memory?”
Without waiting for Nagi and Kaname to respond to this statement.
Another voice came from behind them.
“Good morning, Nagi-chan, I’m so glad to see that you’re safe.”
It was a clear and bright voice, like a gentle breeze sweeping over the surface of a lake at dawn.
Hearing the voice, Nagi turned her head.
What she saw was an extraordinary beautiful girl approaching her.
Her facial features were deep and three-dimensional, her face exquisite and beautiful, with slightly upturned eyes full of cat-like liveliness and playfulness.
Moreover, her exposed skin was as white as snow, and her figure was slender and model-like.
Most eye-catching was her waist-length, platinum blonde hair that shimmered softly in the sunlight.
Nagi was momentarily captivated.
But she quickly matched the features of the girl in front of her with the corresponding identity from her diary.
“S-Sanna-sempai? Is it Hinata Sanna-sempai?” Nagi said, a bit unsure.
But the girl in front clearly had the features of a mixed-race child.
“Yes, I’m glad you recognized me, Nagi-chan…” Sanna said with a wry smile.
Even Nagi, who had lost her memory, could recognize her; she could guess the reason.
After all, her appearance, which carried her father’s Nordic heritage, was too recognizable among a group of Japanese people.
It’s basically hard to get it wrong.
“You can call me Sanna-chan like before; I’m in the same class as Tsukimi-kun, in class 2-B,” Sanna said kindly.
“If you have any issues, feel free to come to me directly.”
“Okay, I understand…” Nagi nodded, her heart growing more and more astonished at the situation before her.
She remembered it was mentioned in the diary.
Sanna was a good friend she and Kaname had made in the first grade of elementary school.
In other words, she was also considered their childhood friend.
Kaname actually has two such cute beautiful childhood friends around him?
Not only that, but he even has a close friend who looks like an adorable girl?
Doesn’t Kaname have too many elements of beautiful girls around him?
A romantic comedy? I have the protagonists of a romantic comedy by my side!?
Who is the next girl to appear? The cool, icy senior sister? The clingy little devil younger sister?
Who exactly is Kaname’s true love?
Am I also going to take part in this romantic comedy with elements of party struggle!?
Nagi’s eyes at this moment had already turned spirally, her brain in complete disarray.
