When I Became a Girl, an Unexpected Love Quarrel Occurred!

I tapped the cutting board with my knife.

Just a few minutes ago, Yurizono-san came to the kitchen with Alice after getting out of the bath.

And then――.

『I want to eat pork cutlet!』

And then she went away.

We ate pork cutlets yesterday.

She’s just like that.

She used to eat only yakisoba bread for lunch, but maybe she is the type of girl who eats only yakisoba bread once she likes it.

It’s nice to hear her say it’s delicious, but if she eats the same thing all the time, her nutrition will be unbalanced.

So I decided to ignore Yurizono-san’s opinion and make salad pasta.

Well, that’s it――.

I stopped the knife, gently touched my lips with my fingers, and let out a sigh.

The feel of Takanashi-san’s lips.

They were soft, moist, and had a clean sweetness that was typical of Takanashi-san… 

“Uguuuu.”

I felt dizzy when I remembered.

“A-Amane!”

A voice rang out from behind me, followed by a puff of air as something soft enveloped my entire body.

“Amane, are you feeling sick? Your face is all red, do you have a fever?”

Takanashi-san hugs me from behind and asks me worriedly if I have a fever.

“You have a fever,” said Takanashi-san, who was also bright red.

“Shall I… measure your fever?”

Takanashi-san mumbled and pulled my face close to hers as she hugged me from behind.

My heartbeat jumped, and I couldn’t breathe.

Takanashi’s forehead hit me with a thud.

If I moved my face forward, even just a little bit, our lips would touch.

The thought of it reminded me of the feel of Takanashi-san lips on mine, and my face grew hotter.

“Close your eyes… You’re embarrassing me.”

Takanashi-san muttered sullenly with a fiery red face.

“Y-Yes…”

I replied and closed my eyes as I was told.

With my eyes closed, I could feel Takanashi-san touch and sweet scent getting stronger, and I could hear my heart beating very loudly… 

I don’t know if it’s okay to stay like this… 

I’m pretending to be distressed and have surrendered myself to Takanashi-san, which is unfair.

“Another accident?”

My heart almost jumped out of my chest at the voice I heard, and I opened my eyes.

“Y-Y-Yes! Accident, accident!”

Takanashi-san’s face quickly turned red like a boiled octopus as she raised her voice.

I was relieved, but also a little disappointed, which was a shame.

“I missed my chance! I want to have an accident too!”

Iris-san raised her voice in frustration.

I thought she was quiet and ladylike, unlike her sister, but I knew she was her sister after all.

That’s what I thought with a furtive glance.

And then I heard a cracking sound.

I looked and saw a paper-like object on the sink.

A ninja maid.

I picked up the folded piece of paper and unfolded it.

『Iris Ojou-sama would like to have an accidental love affair, Amane-sama!』

I saw the sentence and crumpled up the paper.

It smells like a bad maid.

◆

The food was finished and I headed to the living room with Takanashi-san and Iris-san with the food.

“Hahahahahaha! That’s it!”

The sound of laughter echoed as soon as we entered the living room.

Yanomiya-san, who was lying on the floor with Chibisuke as a pillow, was holding her phone to her ear and laughing as she flailed her feet.

She must be awake.

She seems to be on the phone with someone.

Yanomiya-san is cute whether she’s asleep or awake.

Feeling relieved, I put the food I had brought on the table.

“Wow, that looks delicious.”

Kiniwa-san, who was sitting on the sofa, shouted happily when she saw the food on the table.

There is no sign of Alice and Yurizono-san.

I’m sure they’ve taken their baths and are in another room.

“Fufu.”

I couldn’t help but laugh.

“Amane?”

Takanashi-san tilted her head, probably wondering why I was laughing so unexpectedly.

“I was thinking that our Alice and Yurizono-san’s Arisu are getting along really well these days.”

When I told Takanashi-san that, she nodded and said, “Oh, that’s true.”

“Then we should learn from them, too.”

Smiling, Takanashi-san said and gently touched my hand.

I felt my heart beating fast.

What does it mean to learn from them?

As far as I can see from Takanashi-san’s refreshing smile, there seems to be no deep meaning.

On the other hand, I have impure thoughts and expectations about… 

“I’ll go get Alice-chan and Arisu-chan.”

Iris-san, who had put the food she had brought on the table, said and walked out of the living room.

“Looks like dinner’s ready! Amane and the others made it! It looks so delicious!”

Yanomiya-san, who got up, is talking into her phone.

If she’s mentioning my name, does that mean it’s a student at our high school? I wonder who it is.

“Eh? Yeah! Yes! Rin is a girl! She’s a fine girl!”

When I heard Yanomiya-san’s words, I thought, “What?”

If the person on the other end of the phone was a student at our high school, how could she not know Takanashi-san’s gender?

I wondered if they were students from different schools. Did they go to the same elementary or junior high school?

Yanomiya-san seems to have gone to a different junior high school than Takanashi-san and the others, so that’s possible.

“Are you talking about me?”

The voice I heard made me nervous.

Takanashi-san, who was lightly holding my hand, tilted her head as she looked at Yanomiya-san and leaned in closer to me.

Our bodies are touching.

My heart is screaming at the sight of Takanashi-san’s so unguarded behavior.

“Oh, yeah, the panel. It’s going to be difficult to make.”

Yanomiya-san, who was talking to someone else, looked troubled.

What? Panel? Panel… 

Ah! That’s it, panel! The reason why I decided to stay at Yurizono-san’s house was to learn how to make a panel.

I almost forgot my purpose, or rather, it was the second day of my stay and I hadn’t been taught anything.

“Panels?”

Takanashi-san tilted her head curiously.

Come to think of it, Takanashi-san doesn’t know that I’m going to display my panel at the cultural festival.

If possible, I’d like to pretend that the panel thing never happened, but I’ve promised the student council president.

“Eh? You’re going to help? Really?”

Yanomiya-san’s eyes shone as she raised her voice.

Will Yanomiya-san friends be coming to help?

I wonder if it’s okay for students from other schools to help out.

If she’s Yonomiya-san, she’s a good person, and since I’m in the mood, I’ll ask the student council president tomorrow.

“What? A badge! You’ve got a new one! Eh! Giraffa and Papukin! Awesome! I know and love both of them!”

Yanomiya-san is very excited about something.

She’s talking about the badges, but I wonder what Giraffa and Papukin are. Is it a character from a game or something?

“Giraffa is so cool! His horns are long and cool! Papukinis cute and beautiful!”

Giraffa is cool with long horns, and Papukin is cute and beautiful.

It’s like a game or something after all.

“Thank you, Ookwa Monster!”

“Hmm?”

Thank you, Ookwa Monster? The Ookwa Monster is… 

Eh!? Giant stag beetle monster?

“I’ll thank you when you get here! I’ll see you later since my food gets cold!”

“Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!”

I tried to pick up Yanomiya-san’s phone, but she hung up on me.

Wait a minute, wait a minute. Was that Kanau-kun on the other end of the phone?

“Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee!”

I couldn’t help but scream and hold my head.

Surprised by my shout, and Takanashi-san asked me.

“What’s the matter?” Yanomiya-san’s caller was Kanau-kun, and they were talking about the panel. And he said he would help.

Oh no, this is not good, this is not good.

If I let that siscon with unnecessarily high specs make a panel, I’d be in trouble for sure.

“But why did you ask Kanau-kun, not, the Ookwa Monster, about the panel?

As I asked this question, I closed in on Yanomiya-san.

“What? Because Ena told me to call the Ookwa Monster.”

Yanomiya-san, who was puzzled, muttered.

Kiniwa-san?

When I looked at Kiniwa-san, she giggled and stuck out her tongue.

I’ve been thinking that it’s strange that when I went to the kitchen with Takanashi-san and the others, she said he was going with me at first, but then she pulled away so easily… 

“When Amane-chan was running around with Rin-chan, Kuu-chan told me about the Ookwa Monster. She said she had his phone number, so I asked her to get in touch with him.”

Kiniwa-san smiles and speaks without a trace of guilt.

“What? What’s an Ookwa Monster?”

Takanashi-san, who seemed unable to follow the conversation, tilted her head.

“Ookwa Monster is a monster that is not particularly evil but was created by a secret society. It is uselessly powerful and returns to the mountain when its business is done.”

I explained to Takanashi-san, holding my head.

“What’s that?”

Takanashi-san muttered with gloomy eyes.

When I showed Kanau-kun’s picture to Takanashi-san before, she was kind of angry. I’m afraid to explain it properly.

“A very powerful helper. If we leave it to Yurizono-san, we’ll never be able to finish.”

Kiniwa-san raised her voice while looking at Takanashi-san who was staring at her.

Damn, what a good argument.

It’s certainly not safe to leave it to Yurizono-san. In fact, we haven’t made any progress on the panel at all.

But that doesn’t mean I’m going to call Kanau-kun… 

“A helper…”

Takanashi-san mutters to herself as she looks at Kiniwa-san with fierce eyes.

She’s clearly suspicious.

“Amane…”

I huffed at the voice I heard and lowered my eyes to find Yanomiya-san grabbing my jacket, looking up at me with watery eyes.

“Did I… do something unnecessary?”

She said this in a trembling voice and looked like she was about to cry.

“No, no, no, that’s not true! There’s nothing wrong with you, Kuu-chan! I’m rather glad! I’m so glad! Thank you, Kuu-chan!”

I desperately raised my voice, thinking that I should never make Yanomiya-san cry.

“Really?”

Yanomiya-san tilted her head with tears in her eyes.

“Yes, yes, yes! It’s true! That’s it Kuu-chan! Kuu-chan is so reliable!”

Anyway, I nodded frantically and raised my voice.

Yanomiya-san, who had been staring at me with tears in her eyes, sniffed――.

“Aha!”

She seemed to believe my story and gave me a big smile.

Hah, I’m panic so hard. I almost caused a lifelong trauma by making Yanomiya-san cry.

I glanced at Kiniwa-san.

“Thank you, Kuu-chan. Amane-chan is also happy. Kuu-chan is a great person.”

Kiniwa-san, who got up from the sofa and squatted down in front of Yanomiya-san, patting Yanomiya-san’s head while saying that.

“Haha! It’s because Ena told me to call! It’s thanks to Ena! Thank you, Ena!”

As Kiniwa-san pats her head, Yanomiya-san happily returns the words and thanks her.

I’m in trouble. I didn’t expect Kanau-kun to be involved in the festival.

Well, I don’t think Kanau-kun will cause any problems in a bad way.

But you know what?

He tends to go out of control when it comes to me.

I’m worried.
