All Beautiful Girls Want to Stick with Me

Aimi gulped, then gave a little cough, pretending to be reluctant. ”Well… since you bought it on your own, not because I asked you to… it would be a waste if I didn’t eat it. And wasting food is bad. Right?”

”Cherishing food is a very good habit.” Megumi chuckled.

Upstairs, the three of them divided the cake. Though Aimi loved the strawberries most, she knew her sister loved them too. She was just about to limit herself to two and leave the rest for Kotomi, when she noticed Kotomi’s plate already piled with strawberries—all given to her by Megumi.

Handing over every single strawberry from her own slice, Megumi smiled. ”I don’t really like the strawberries on strawberry cake. If I had to choose, I’d say I prefer cream cakes with pineapple jam filling. Kotomi, could you eat all of these strawberries for me?”

”Sure!”

Kotomi agreed without hesitation. There was no reason not to.

Every time they ate strawberry cake together, Kotomi loved it. That was because Megumi always gave her all the strawberries from her slice.

In the beginning, Kotomi used to say: ”Don’t just give them all to me—you should eat some too. Strawberries with a bit of cream are delicious.”

Megumi would always reply: ”You eat them. I don’t really like strawberries.”

Gradually, Kotomi came to believe Megumi truly disliked strawberries. After all, in all their time together, she had never once seen her eat one voluntarily.

When it came to fruit, Megumi seemed to prefer peaches—sliced into soft yet firm pieces.

And so, every time Kotomi ate strawberry cake, she gladly accepted the strawberries Megumi fed her.

”I’ll go pour some tea!” Aimi, unwilling to give up, insisted on finding a way to show off in front of her sister. No sooner had she spoken than she dashed downstairs to brew tea.

The moment Aimi left the bedroom, Megumi naturally leaned against Kotomi’s shoulder. The two of them snuggled close, until Megumi slowly sat up, slipped off her pure white stockings, and handed them to Kotomi—as promised back in the fitting room.

”Here, these are for you~ Think they can make up for the pair of pantyhose I accidentally tore before?” Megumi asked with a playful smile.

”One pair definitely isn’t enough. Keep dreaming~” Kotomi huffed tsundere-like, but she wasn’t wrong. Each pair of pantyhose Megumi had ripped before had been more expensive than the last.

Kotomi would always just scold her lightly, saying: You’re so wasteful, always tearing my tights, so annoying! But she never once mentioned how much they had cost.

Mainly because Kotomi felt there was no need. She had never planned to make Megumi pay for them.

”After school the day after tomorrow, I’ll give you the hot spring water park tickets.”

”No rush. Just give them to me once we decide when we’re going,” Kotomi shook her head. ”What about the rest of the tickets? Have you decided who to give them to?”

”Not yet.”

Megumi smiled faintly. She hadn’t told Kotomi that in reality, there had only been three tickets—and she had torn one up, leaving just two, so they could have the place all to themselves.

Leaning close together, even though they were in Kotomi’s bedroom with no one else around, they still whispered to each other like they were hiding in the school’s sports equipment room.

”Kotomi, what are you planning to do tomorrow?”

Go with Yui to karaoke… was what Kotomi thought, but what she said aloud to Megumi was:

”Stay home, play some games, catch up on anime. There’s a show I haven’t watched for two weeks. I want to binge the two new episodes tomorrow. In the afternoon, I’ll spend an hour writing. Oh, and by the way—my novel’s getting a special edition release.”

”Congratulations!” Megumi beamed. As long as Kotomi was happy, she felt happy too.

Still, she tilted her head in slight confusion. ”Special edition? I don’t really understand, but that’s okay. Once it’s published, I’ll just buy it and see. Hehe, I can’t wait to read your special edition, Kotomi~”

”Do you want me to sign it when it comes out?”

”Of course!” Megumi answered without hesitation. Then, with a solemn expression, she said reverently: ”Izumi-sensei, please sign it for me.”

”Hehe~”

Kotomi ruffled her hair sheepishly. Every time someone asked for her autograph, she couldn’t help but feel proud—even though, so far, those requests only ever came from friends, family, and her girlfriend Megumi.
