“Are you sure? If what Yō had done to Kasumi-chan is done the same to you, then what he did to her can’t be compared to the petty head patting you just received right?”

　Nagisa watched Marin’s expression and chose the words that would shake her up.

　But Marin shook her head. 

“I-I don’t really want anything like that, so…!”

“Something like a lap pillow, or maybe you can sit on his lap?”

“―!?”

　Marin desperately tried to counter Nagisa’s captivating words, but when she was given a list of specific things that she could do, she couldn’t help but react.

　Nagisa grinned inwardly at her attitude, but she followed up with more.

“Kasumi-chan looks like an idiot when it comes to Yō-kun, but she’s actually quite a cautious person. As for your reconciliation this time, I’m sure Yō-kun is negotiating for it, so I’m sure Kasumi-chan has set conditions for Yō-kun to indulge her.”

“H-How come you know that…?”

“Because when Yō-kun negotiates with someone, he basically brings himself to the table. And Kasumi-chan only cares about getting Yō-kun to indulge her. The result is clear as day, isn’t it?”

“…………”

　After Nagisa’s words, Marin turned her gaze to Yō and the others.

　She remembered how he had naturally indulged Kasumi earlier, and concluded that their relationship had progressed to the point where it was natural for her to do so.

　She thought about it for a while, but it was still not a line that Marin could just jump over.

　The only person Marin would allow to go that far would be her boyfriend.

“But still, I―”

“Are you sure? You’ll lose again, you know?”

“―!?”

　Marin was about to refuse Nagisa’s proposal, but she gasped when Nagisa, who had already read her answer from her expression, made the first move.

　And those words pierced deeply into Marin’s heart.

“―Nagisa, what did you just say to her? What’s wrong with… Akimi’s behavior?”

　Yō, who had been observing the two of them, immediately interrupted as Marin’s expression had darkened all at once.

　But Nagisa held up her hand and gestured for Yō not to come into the conversation.

“Well, just let me keep doing what I want. I’m not going to make it worse.”

“It looks like it’s already gone bad though…?”

“All’s well that ends well, you know. Sometimes you gotta have to look at the process.”

“…………”

　At Nagisa’s confident words, Yō fell silent and turned his gaze to Marin.

　Marin’s eyes were shaking, and she had a hint of tears around her eyes.

　Yō could imagine how badly she must have been treated, but Yō had a certain trust in Nagisa.

　So, he decided to leave it to Nagisa.

　He trusted that Nagisa was a kind person at heart and could think of others.

　―Kasumi, on the other hand, was standing next to Yō, sweating profusely.

　Unlike Yō, Kasumi’s ears were better than most people’s, and she could hear what Nagisa had said to Marin.

　And those words were directly related to the fact that Marin had a grudge against her.

　Therefore, she was worried that Marin would turn on her again, and she didn’t know how Marin would act when she told her that she would lose her temper.

　Therefore, Kasumi squeezed the sleeve of Yō’s dress and tugged at it.

“Y-Yō… you should definitely stop her…”

“No, if Nagisa says so much, I’ll leave it to her. She’s not the kind of person who would hurt someone unnecessarily.”

“But…”

“Besides, it’s too late to interfere now.”

　Marin’s complexion is already quite pale.

　If he wanted to stop it, he had to stop it before it got to this stage.

　If he interfered now, he might interfere with the care that Nagisa was planning to give her.

　And that would leave a scar on Marin’s heart.

　So Yō decided to trust Nagisa on this one and left it up to her.

(Or rather… if Nagisa does well, that means I’ll have to indulge them both equally, right…? Is this going to be okay…?)

　―Then, he was filled with anxiety.

My parents went on a 2-day expedition visiting local malls from different cities to find a suitable laptop around the $600 budget we had. Sadly, we weren’t able to find any since most of the laptops were either phased out or out of stock. Most available are at $1000, so I hope you guys could help me in achieving $400 more. I’ll be using the laptop for a long-term maybe like 6 years so I hope you guys could support me. Just click on the ko-fi button below and thanks in advance for those who would consider doing so!
