“―Well then, if you have an excuse, tell me now.”

　Yō, who had moved away from Marin and Nagisa, looked at Kasumi’s face with a sigh.

　Then, Kasumi opened her mouth, with her cheeks puffed out.

“I just got heated up because the other side was being so aggressive with me…”

“It’s Kasumi who’s encouraging her to poke back, though…?”

　Yō’s head ached at the remark, which was so childish.

　Kasumi, however, seemed unconvinced.

“It is not fair for you to favor only Akimi-san.”

“I’m not favoring anyone, and I’m not giving Akimi any special treatment. Didn’t you want to be friends with her so much?”

“It’s not that I don’t want to get along with her, but…”

　Kasumi turned away in annoyance when Yō asked her about it.

　Kasumi knows that Marin is a good girl.

　If it weren’t for Yō’s involvement, she would certainly be someone whom she would have never picked a fight with.

　That’s why she couldn’t say that she didn’t want to get along with her.

“How can I have the two of you get along?”

　Since scolding her at this point would not improve the situation, Yō raised a suggestion for Kasumi instead.

　Kasumi thought for a moment and then opened her mouth.

“You’ll spoil me whenever I ask―.”

“Rejected.”

“―Wha!? ―Mou!”

　When Yō refused, Kasumi puffed out her cheeks in disapproval and began pounding Yō’s chest.

　She was showing her dissatisfaction with all her might.

“Don’t hit me…”

“B-Because, it’s weird…! That was where you’re supposed to agree…!”

“No, that would be like going back to square one…”

　The result of pampering her as much as she liked up until now has led to his isolation in the past.

　Obviously, Yō will not make the same mistake.

“Then, what would you allow…?”

“Thinking about it again, it’s difficult…”

“―Huh!? ―Why!?”

　When Yō laughed as if he was troubled, Kasumi began hitting him again.

　This time with slightly more force than before which made Yō frown in pain.

‘”In the meantime, you’ve got the Nya~san video thing going on, so you’ll just have to be patient with me. If this keeps up, you can’t complain when I say I won’t keep my word, okay?”

“Mou~…”

“You can’t just puff your cheeks out and sulk. If you don’t keep your promise, I can’t keep mine.”

　When Yō said this, Kasumi calmed down and kept quiet.

　So, Yō gently stroked Kasumi’s head.

“I don’t know what Nagisa has in mind, but I don’t think she’s going to propose something like that to us just to harass us now, do you? Let’s just get on with it for once.”

“…Even though it was Yō who wasn’t keeping up with the promise.”

“Listen here… Why don’t you just listen to us at least at a time like this…?”

“Well, if I beat you, I’ll have the right to be pampered by you, so I have nothing to complain about.”

“I don’t know how you can say that in front of me…”

　When Kasumi shamelessly expressed her desires, Yō scratched his head in disbelief.

　Kasumi then smirked at him.

“It’s too late for you to say that now. Why wouldn’t I use my own personal weapon that Akimi-san doesn’t have?” [TLN: Personal weapon here probably refers to her being a childhood friend of MC.]

“…Well, as long as you don’t pick a fight with Akimi, you can do whatever you want.”

“Yeah, that’s the plan.”

　It seemed that Kasumi had calmed down, so Yō took Kasumi and went back to Marin and the others.

(With that, Akimi is the next person to talk to…)
