Too Many Losing Heroines! - Volume 2 - Chapter 1.6

Intermission – It’s Different When It Happens Before My Eyes

Class 2-3, Momozono Middle School.

After the opening ceremony, the classmates are chatting non-stop after their short farewell.

There’s one girl whose an exception. Her elbows are planted on her desk as she gazes forlornly out the window.

“Onii-sama…has gone somewhere really far…”

This mumbling girl is Kaju Nukumizu.

A tall classmate walked over. She lowered her head and watched her.

“What’s wrong, Nuku-chan?”

“Gon-chan…”

Kaju slowly turned her face.

The girl talking to her is Asami Gonto. She’s Kaju’s closest friend in class. She’s relatively tall for a middle school student, which adds to her maturity.

“What’s wrong? Tell me all about it.”

A tinge of worry appeared in her eyes.

“Kaju has told you onii-sama has made a friend before, right…?”

“Yeah, wasn’t Nuku-chan really happy?”

“I am, but that friend is a gorgeous girl.”

Her body suddenly slumped onto her desk as if she had run out of energy.

“Also, the worst part is that Kaju thought onii-sama just made one friend. It turns out there’s a second one. …Kaju barged into onii-sama’s room a while ago, and the mood was a bit tight.”

“I see. Huh, I guess your brother shouldn’t be underestimated. Is he very handsome?”

Kaju immediately straightened up.

“Of course! Onii-sama is no.1 in the world-”

Kaju’s eyes are sparkling like gemstones. However, a tinge of apprehension suddenly appeared in them.

“…Don’t you try anything funny, okay? Kaju doesn’t want to call Gon-chan onee-san.”

“Onee-san?”

Gon-chan gave it some thought.

“Nuku-chan becoming my little sister, that sounds nice.”

“Gon-chan!?”

“It’s a joke, but shouldn’t Nuku-chan be proud that your brother is popular?”

“B-But, this is…two girls at once, alright? Kaju hasn’t even interviewed them.”

“Didn’t you say you would be thrilled if your brother got a brilliant girlfriend?”

“It’s different when it’s happening before my eyes. …I was going to get to know the girl onii-sama likes and watch them from afar. But, onii-sama brought two girls into his room right away and complicated the mood. …Onii-sama is in his popular phase…”

Kaju slumped back onto her desk face-first again. She’s kicking her legs under the desk.

Gon-chan gently stroked Kaju’s head.

“Alright, be good. I’ll take Nuku-chan if that happens.”

“But Kaju wants onii-sama…”

“I see. I was rejected.”

Kaju raised her head off the desk.

“…But Gon-chan is Kaju’s best friend.”

“You’re adorable, Nuku-chan. Yeah, you should be my wife.”

“I can’t…”

Kaju collapsed onto her desk once more as Gon-chan gave her head pats.

Kaju Nukumizu, 14 years old.

Even though she’s pleased to know that her dear onii-sama has friends now, she can’t work out her own feelings right away.

Gon-chan continued stroking her head as Kaju thought about that.
