Because I was assigned to assist Kaedezaka, I thought about strengthening my assisting skills.
Therefore, Yuika persuaded me to help her dog-sit/I was persuaded by Yuika to help her walk a dog, and the owner of the dog was Kaedezaka.
“Sasamiya-san. Good morning.”
“Geez! Kaedezaka!”
“Oh dear. Sasamiya-san’s morning greeting is ‘Gee’! Is that your morning greeting?. It’s very, very interesting. Can I punch you in the belly …?”
Kaedezaka, who was wearing a denim jacket with her shoulders bare as usual, smiled and made a fist with her hand.
She was really going to punch me in the stomach.
And then Yuika warned her in a dull tone.
“Mou. You two shouldn’t be fighting.”
“”Yes, …””
Seeing us quiet and silent, Yuika chuckled.
She looked like a mother to me and Kaedezaka.
We’re older than you, though. …
“So, Onii-San. Today, I want you to follow Kaeezdaka-san as she walks her dog.”
“Eh!? Seriously!”
“Yes. You must be surprised.”
“It’s quite a shock. ….”
Come to think of it, Yuika didn’t know that Kaedezaka and I were at odds with each other.
It appeared that Kaedezaka hadn’t told Yuika about my relationship with her, and it would be best if I didn’t tell her that we would be working together at the next Comiket.
But … this is tough ….
In the first place, if I wanted to strengthen my assisting skills to assist Kaedezaka, how could I do that if my practice partner was Kaedezaka? …
Yuika crouched down and patted the miniature dachshund on the head.
While she was doing this, Kaedezaka stealthily approached me and poked my arm with her elbow so that Yuika wouldn’t notice.
“This is the first time I’ve been able to take a morning walk with Yuika-san, and now you’re here too. …”
""
Kaedezaka whispered just loud enough for only me to hear.
I felt embarrassed because she was so close to me. ……
“I didn’t expect you to come either.”
“Were you planning to enjoy an early morning date with Yuika-san? That’s Eromiya-san for you.”
“What kind of weird name are you giving me?”
“It suits you very, very well.”
This girl …
You don’t have to say that much just because you got along with Yuika.
Also, please stop poking me with your elbow.
It feels ticklish.
“I’m just here to walk the dog. Don’t be jealous.”
Then Kaedezaka startled, and her face turned bright red.
“W… why would I be jealous of you!?”
“You’re not jealous of me, you’re jealous of Yuika, right?”
“…Tha … That’s right. My focus is on Yuika. It’s not you.”
“Yeah, I know.”
“Hmmmph~!”
Although the topic of the conversation was not quite clear, I thought she was trying to say that she was not interested in me.
