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 . - The Beautiful Girls Are Making Their Move

The Beautiful Girls Are Making Their Move

“Do you like Alisa, Kogure-kun?”

“Uh…”

She presses me hard. No man could remain unfazed when asked such a question. Otsuki-san wouldn’t say this if she weren’t dating Reo, I think.

“As a friend, yes.”

“That’s a safe answer.”

I feel my face turning red with embarrassment. Honestly, I think I really like Alisa. Her face, her voice, her figure, everything about her is attractive and to my taste. But it’s not love. I don’t fall in love with girls. I shouldn’t. Otsuki-san showed me a photo on her smartphone.

“This, this is!”

“My favorite Alisa photo collection.”

“Oh, oh… oh~~. Oh!”

“Your reaction. Kogure-kun, you really like Alisa, don’t you?”

“No, that’s not it!”

“Sorry, my mistake. You just like Alisa’s face and body.”

“The way you say it!”

The photos were incredible. First, there was Alisa from middle school, I suppose. Her smiling face at the water’s edge in her gym clothes was incredibly cute. Next was Alisa in a swimsuit. Her ample chest was emphasized to the extreme, and combined with her beautiful features, I couldn’t help but stare. The bonus was Alisa in a cat-eared maid outfit from the other day. Whether Otsuki-san had instructed her or not, the posing with her chest emphasized and a bashful demeanor was irresistible. Even I couldn’t help but be captivated.

“If you date Alisa, all of her will become yours, Kogure-kun. That face and body you love so much.”

“I don’t look at Alisa that way.”

“But Alisa said that Kogure-kun often glances at her chest.”

“Uh, that’s a lie!?”

I’ve been caught! With her so defenseless… I mean, I can’t even look her in the face, so where am I supposed to look? Honestly, at night… It’s infuriating to feel like everything’s been seen through!

“What’s the problem? I’m not saying you have to marry her. If you don’t get along, just break up. After that, Kogure-kun can date Tsumugi-san.”

“What Otsuki-san is saying is absurd. This isn’t right. Love is a matter between the people involved…”

“It’s because Kogure-kun is being ambiguous.”

“I am…!”

I bristle at those words. She has no idea what I’ve been through.

If only I could let go, I would. But that’s not allowed. I must carry the punishment for hurting that girl for the rest of my life.

“I won’t date anyone. That’s what I’ve decided. No matter how attractive Alisa may be… I have my reasons.””The reason doesn’t matter.”

“Huh?”

“If I ask for the reason, I might hesitate. That’s why I don’t need to know about Kogure-kun’s past.”

“…Why are you so intent on getting me and Alisa together?”

Otsuki-san was always a bit harsh with me, but she was never the type to act so impulsively. It’s as if she’s willing to be disliked by me just to push through with her own desires. Who is this for? If I were in Otsuki-san’s shoes…

“I see… It’s for Alisa’s sake.”

“!”

“Well, that’s right. There’s no other reason for Otsuki-san’s actions other than for Alisa’s sake.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Otsuki-san faced me firmly. There were faint traces of tears at the corners of her eyes.

“I hurt Alisa. I made her sad, even though she liked me so much.”

That was before Otsuki-san started dating Reo. It must have been when I was getting closer to Alisa.

“I’ve been regretting it ever since. I hurt Alisa… Why did I do such a thing? If Kogure-kun hadn’t mediated, we might still be awkward with each other.”

“But you made up in the end, didn’t you? Isn’t that enough?”

“Even if we made up, the sin of hurting Alisa doesn’t disappear! Even if Alisa forgives me, I can’t forgive myself.”

Otsuki-san shouted as if spitting out the words. She had always been carrying a sense of guilt towards Alisa behind her smile. Just like Alisa likes Otsuki-san, Otsuki-san also loves Alisa very much. That’s why she can’t forgive herself.

How would I feel if I did the same thing to Reo? I wouldn’t be able to forgive myself. I owe Reo a lot. Hurting Reo is something that should never happen.

“So you did it for Alisa’s sake, even if it meant I would dislike you.”

Otsuki-san nodded firmly. Geez… what is she thinking? But I can’t deny her actions. Because I thought the same thing when I was getting information about Otsuki-san for Reo’s sake. It doesn’t matter if Otsuki-san dislikes me. As long as Reo isn’t disliked.

If Reo hadn’t been able to date Otsuki-san yet, I might have done the same thing as her. But this kamikaze attack has a big impact. I haven’t heard it from the person herself, so it’s not certain, but the information that Alisa might like me has been imprinted in the back of my mind.

Can I now face Alisa and talk to her the same way as before?

“Well, it’s fine. If our relationship gets worse, our close friends will worry, so I’ll let this matter slide. But… please don’t push me to date Alisa anymore.”

“…Okay.”

“At least for now… I don’t feel like dating anyone.”

It feels like I’ve faced a huge problem since morning. And it’s also troubling that Otsuki-san is a little teary. If people misunderstand that I made her cry… A notification sound from my smartphone. When I check it, there’s a photo sent from Otsuki-san. It’s the charming photo of Alisa I saw earlier.

“I won’t do it anymore. So…”

Otsuki-san smiled brightly.

“From now on, I’ll send you lots of Alisa’s photos to fill your head with her!”

“You don’t get it at all!”

“I’ll give you a skin, so you can attack, but don’t be too rough. If you’re gentle, she should accept it.”

“Listen――!”

After parting with Otsuki-san, I walked down the corridor alone. Damn Otsuki-san… what a thing to confess. Alisa likes me… such a delusion. I haven’t heard it from her, so it’s not 100%, but considering Alisa’s recent behavior and how aggressively Otsuki-san is pushing, the credibility feels like it’s jumped to about 90%. What kind of face should I make when I meet Alisa?

I open my smartphone and display the photo of Alisa that Otsuki-san sent me.

“…”

She’s incredibly cute. This is cheating.
