My Childhood Friend, Who Is the Most Popular Girl in the School, Is Too Cute and Naughty Only in Front of Me. I’m Doing My Best to Maintain My Sanity

“I’m going to go change my clothes, Amane Onii-chan!! Mom, bring my luggage with you!”

Kazuha and her mother went upstairs to Kazuha’s room.

Saori and I in this room… a little awkward.

I didn’t do anything wrong either, but…

“Sa-Saori…?”

“What is it? Amane-kun.”

“No… I mean… are you mad at me?”

“No.
I’m not angry.”

“Really?”

“Yes.”

“I see…”

Urghh, I couldn’t continue the conversation…

Usually, Saori would bring up a variety of topics, so I was never troubled…

I have to do something about this atmosphere…

I tried to think of something to talk about, but I couldn’t think of anything.

Saori was definitely sulking.

She was probably sulking when she saw me not resisting Kazuha’s hug.

Even now, when I tried to make eye contact with her, she would turn her head in the opposite direction.

If it came to this…

I went up to Saori and hugged her.

“A-Amane-kun…?”

“What is it?”

“What you say, what’s the matter with you… this… this isn’t going to make me feel any better…”

“Are? I thought you weren’t mad at me.”

“Ah… Mou~ I don’t like the mean Amane-kun…”

Saori’s true feelings come out.

“It’s kind of interesting to see Saori sulking.”

“I-I’m not sulking!! Don’t get me wrong.”

“Yes yes.
Got it”

Yoshiyoshi I patted Saori’s head with one hand.

“Mou~! You’re making fun of me again! I hate you! I hate you! I hate you Amane-kun!”

Saori said these words, but she tightened her hold on me.
I hugged her back even tighter.

They had no idea that Kazuha and her mother were watching him and Saori with warm eyes from upstairs.
