All Beautiful Girls Want to Stick with Me

This was the first time Yui Yuigahama had ever gotten angry at Kotomi. Not only was she angry, she actually showed it.

To Yui, even if Kotomi hit her or scolded her, she could accept it. But being pushed away in the middle of a kiss—that made her feel unbearably wronged. When Kotomi and Yukino hadn’t been paying attention earlier, Yui had secretly turned her head away and wiped away tears several times.

Of course, that was only what Yui believed.

Yukino hadn’t noticed.

But Kotomi had noticed long ago. She had seen Yui secretly wiping her tears several times and simply pretended not to see.

It wasn’t that Kotomi was deliberately playing hard to get.

She simply... didn’t have the time to deal with Yui at that moment.

Because when she saw Yui wiping her tears, she had been thinking about Mashiro Shiina.

The last time she had come to Kyoto, she had nearly changed her relationship with Mashiro from friends to lovers.

Now, returning to Kyoto after some time, Kotomi couldn’t help recalling what had happened between her and Mashiro back then. She sighed inwardly.

If I had stayed in Kyoto one more day back then, maybe my relationship with Mashiro Shiina would have completely turned into that of lovers.

While thinking about Mashiro, even though she saw Yui feeling so wronged that she secretly wiped away tears because of being pushed aside, Kotomi didn’t respond.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to.

It was that sometimes her brain functioned like a single-threaded processor. During certain periods, it could only handle one thing at a time. Only after finishing processing one matter would she move on to the next.

Just now, she had been in exactly that state.

That said, seeing Yui secretly wiping her tears, Kotomi felt both heartache and helplessness. She simply hadn’t wanted Yukino to see them kissing.

Putting aside what Yukino might think in her heart, there was no way to explain it properly on the surface.

If the situation had been reversed—if Yui had seen her kissing Yukino—Kotomi was ninety-eight percent confident she could talk her way out of it. The remaining two percent existed only to keep herself from becoming too arrogant.

In that situation, she couldn’t possibly tell Yui directly, ”Yukino is coming out, stop for a moment.” The instant Yukino opened the restroom door and stepped out, she would have seen them. There was no time.

In that split second, Kotomi judged that pushing Yui away was the optimal solution.

And so she had pushed her away.

And now Yui was sulking like this.

Kotomi took the initiative to hold Yui Yuigahama’s hand.

Usually, it was Yui who would reach out first, and only then would Kotomi hold her hand.

After all, Kotomi had held the hands of far too many girls. If she had to take the initiative every single time, that would be too troublesome. So she simply waited for the girls to reach for her first.

When her small hand was suddenly held by Kotomi, Yui froze.

The sulky expression on her face vanished in an instant, replaced by surprise.

Normally, she was the one who took the initiative to hold Kotomi’s hand. Now that Kotomi was the one reaching out first, the happiness brought by this change made Yui feel as if she were dreaming.

She knew she shouldn’t forgive too quickly.

But Kotomi was holding her hand!

Yui couldn’t help lowering her head with a shy smile, happiness overflowing from her expression.

So easy to coax...

Kotomi sighed inwardly. At the same time, a certain idea began to sprout in her heart.

Just then, Yukino Yukinoshita dragged her suitcase over.

Just as she was about to walk up beside Kotomi, Kotomi suddenly said to her,

”Yukino, could you watch our suitcases here for a moment? Yui and I want to use the restroom.”

”Huh? Oh... alright.”

Yukino looked at Kotomi, who had just waited for her only to leave again. Even knowing that Kotomi would come back shortly, she still felt inexplicably disappointed.

Yui tilted her head in confusion. She hadn’t said she wanted to use the restroom.

Before she could react, Kotomi grabbed Yui’s wrist with a hint of dominance and pulled her away.
