I WAS ISEKAI INTO AN HAREM FANTASY ANIME AND BECAME A GODDESS?!

Etsuko 2

Etsuko takes the bag from Yuki and winks at Tomo. Tomo stops pouting and flushes red. I stare between the two of them. I tilt my head, looking into Tomos' eyes.

I can see a flashback:
-
Yuki falls on top of Tomo. They kiss by accident. He helps her up and gets ready to be punched. Instead, Tomo turns away shyly and lightly punches his shoulder. The two have ice cream and run into Etsuko there. The red head takes it upon herself to tag along. If Tomo was holding Yuki's hand, so was Etsuko. If Tomo punches Yuki, Etsuko follows. Even when she kissed his cheek quickly, thinking, the red head wasn't around... Yup... Then Etusko kissed him straight on the lips...

-

Yikes, that looks awful, alright. And I bet the girl wasn't even trying to be a cock block that's the crazy thing. She probably assumed it was just a challenge to do things bigger and better than Tomo. Yeah, that would be... annoying, to say the very least. I exhale softly.

Gonna smile through this.

I giggle and push Tomo and Yuki together.

"Tomo! Yuki bedroom is way down.the hall~! I'll be good and stay in my room!"

"H-huh? I know wh- where his room is...why-?!"

Boi, she sure is blushes and smiles today. Maybe that night affected all of us in a funny way.

"Oh um okay Marie... are you sure?"

"Yes, yes ! Go go. I'll take care of the ponytail redhead!"

Tomo smiled kindly at me, and I gave her thumbs up. I sent Hana a quick text and huffs. Let's do this, Etsuko! I run after her in the kitchen. She was sucking on the popsicle. She tilts her head at me. She takes the orange popsicle out of her mouth, and a thick orange string breaks as she pulls the treat away. Her spit rolled down slowly on the popsicle.

"Oh hey, shortie!"

Why does she call me that....? I'm like 2 inches taller than her. That's like 20 cm or something, right? I don't fucking know I'm American alright?

"What are you doing here, Etsuko?" I tried not to sound annoyed.

"Popsicle?"

"No thanks."

"Mm.. I just thought maybe it was time for me to come over again. I thought running into Tomo and Yuki was fate. We went on a date together!"

"Was it a date or compation?"

"Mm... does it matter?"

Yes, you fool, it does! Why are all redheads in animes either tsuderes or fucking like THIS! I want to smash my head into a wall just staring at her. I try not to let it show up on my face though.

"Hey, Marie."

I jolt, "huh?!"

"Can...I tell you something?"

"I...I suppose so?"

"I don't mind fighting for or even sharing Yuki. To me, it's all the same. You know why I love your brother, right?"

"He's the guy who helped you want to be strong all those years ago, right?"

She stares at me, shocked, "I- I guess he figured it out himself after all if he told you, hah. But recently I haven't been feeling like that."

"Mm?"

"It feels like the same thing every day. Over and over. He never seems to improve,he always needs someone to hold him up. I'm a team player, and I still like your brother, but now that we're all older... I see he's not the person I thought he was."
