Nyanta & Pomeko

Chapter 46: Nanako 2

[Nanako Minami PoV]

　I'll never forget the first time I, Nanako Minami, met Haruka Shinjo.

"So you're Nanako!　You're one of the people who hurt Onii-chan!"

"E-Eh?!　W-Who are you?"

"Wait, Haruka, calm down!"

"Huh?　It's not exactly what I imagined, is it?　K-Kisaragi, a-are you sure this is Nanako-san ......?"

"You idiot, I couldn't possibly be wrong. I remember all the stupid girls who messed with Makoto."

"Kisaragi's an idiot, too!"

"S-Shut up, ......, you're an idiot too!"

　I nodded my head in surprise. I believe her name is Haruka and she is the younger sister of Shinjo-kun.
　She is a natural, but her athleticism and cuteness make her stand out in school.

　...... She is a far cry from what I am now.

"Hmm, okay!　Hey, Nanako, let's have a parfait together and talk!"

"Haa, Haruka ......, why are you involved with this woman who has nothing but bad rumors?"

"Shut up!　Even Kisaragi has gotten herself into a pretty bad situation, not to mention a bad rumor!"

"......Ha, I'm sorry. I-I'm not going to do anything weird anymore. I mean, I don't want to hear about it from you, you overzealous tsundere!"

　I was taken aback by the momentum of the two of them.

　I was vaguely thinking that these people were chatty.

"Huh?　Nanako-san, aren't you dirty?　A bit of a wait ......, rummage ...... rummage ......, there it is!　Yeah, don't move!"

"Eh, ah, eh?　S-Shinjo-san!?"

　I've been teased earlier, and my uniform was dirty. The blackboard eraser was thrown at me from behind.

　I was sure I got rid of the dirt, but I couldn't remove the stain on my back.

　I didn't care because it always happened anyway.

　Haruka wiped my body again and again with her own towel.

"T-towel, it will get dirty......"

"Heh?　Why don't you just wash the towel if it gets dirty?　My mom washes them for me. ...... But if you go home with a dirty uniform, ...... Nanako's mother might be sad. ......"

"—-"

"Okay!　It's okay!　Come on, let's go!　Let's go eat parfait!"

"No, we're getting to the wrong end of the stick......."

　Haruka-san's neighbor Kisaragi-san let out a sigh. But they didn't seem to be in a heartbreaking mood. It was as if she was a big sister who was worried about her little sister.

　Haruka pried open my shell of not wanting to get involved with anyone anymore, and walked in–

"Heeh?　When I listen to Nanako's story,...... I-I thought it was better than I thought.　I'm starting to think so."

"I-I couldn't resist ......, I mean, I was getting more and more serious about Makoto ......, but I couldn't resist the group's groove ......."

"Haha, Kisaragi's an idiot, she's just as stupid as I am. I'm sorry I was a little too pushy with you."

"I-I'm sorry!　...... I was flattered by the literary club and got carried away. I'm not going to make any more mistakes. ...... I really like Makoto-kun so much that I went crazy."
