All Beautiful Girls Want to Stick with Me

Going to the restroom was just an excuse. Kotomi Izumi mainly wanted to take Yui Yuigahama away for a short while.

After walking to a corner, Kotomi glanced behind her to make sure Yukino Yukinoshita couldn’t see them and that hardly anyone would pass by this spot. Only then did she stop.

Seeing her stop, Yui—who had been pulled along the whole way—asked in confusion,

”Kotomi, weren’t you going to the restroom?”

Kotomi pursed her lips. ”You annoyed me so much I don’t feel like going anymore!”

She had never planned to go in the first place. It had only been an excuse. Now she deliberately twisted it into something else just to tease Yui.

But how could the simple-minded Yui possibly realize Kotomi was doing this on purpose? Whatever Kotomi said, she believed.

The moment she heard that Kotomi was angry, Yui panicked, completely at a loss.

Was it because she had shown her unhappiness earlier and made Kotomi angry?

Yui stood frozen in place, so anxious she was on the verge of tears, desperately racking her brain for a way to cheer Kotomi up.

Clearly, it had been Kotomi who made Yui unhappy at first. And yet now it had somehow turned into Yui trying everything she could to coax Kotomi instead.

Kotomi released Yui’s wrist.

It was such a small action, but to Yui, it felt like a devastating blow. She thought Kotomi was abandoning her. Tears instantly welled up at the corners of her eyes, and she hurriedly reached out, wanting to grab Kotomi’s hand.

But just as her fingers were about to touch it, she hesitated and stopped midair.

She was afraid that grabbing Kotomi’s hand without permission would only make her angrier.

Kotomi turned around and reached out with both hands, pinching Yui’s smooth cheeks from either side.

”Throwing a little tantrum at me and puffing up without saying a word. Are you satisfied now? Hmm?”

Yui felt a bit wronged.

When Kotomi had pushed her away during the kiss, she truly had felt uncomfortable. Kotomi could hit her or scold her and she would have no complaints. But being pushed away like that had given her the illusion of being abandoned. That was why she had gradually grown upset.

But the moment she thought that her brief little tantrum had angered Kotomi this much, Yui no longer cared about her own feelings.

In her heart, Kotomi’s happiness was the most important thing.

She quickly apologized.

”Kotomi, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have thrown a tantrum...”

Kotomi kept her face expressionless, but inside she was practically slapping her thigh in delight. She hadn’t been angry at all. She had only said that to scare Yui a little.

Besides, seeing Yui pout like that for the first time had been strangely novel.

It was just a pity she hadn’t had the chance to take a photo of Yui’s puffed-up little expression.

If it weren’t for the fact that her LINE friends list contained far too many girls with ambiguous or not-yet-ambiguous relationships, Kotomi would have loved to snap a picture of that sulky dumpling face and set it as her LINE profile photo.

She should have pretended to be even angrier earlier—like she was about to break up—and flung Yui’s wrist away dramatically. Yui would definitely have burst into tears and hugged her from behind...

The more Kotomi thought about it, the more she found herself enjoying the feeling of bullying Yui until she cried.

After a moment, Kotomi finally released Yui’s pretty cheeks, satisfied.

”It’s fine to have little tantrums. Everyone has moments when they’re unhappy. Letting it out can be a good thing. But why would you have a tantrum at me? Have I ever done anything to wrong you?

I, Kotomi Izumi, can honestly say with my hand on my conscience that I have never done anything to hurt Yui!

Yui, my love for you is wholehearted and single-minded. Even the gods couldn’t change that!

So when you were sulking just now, I really couldn’t understand what I had done to upset you.”

Kotomi’s words filled Yui with guilt.

Kotomi’s love was so devoted, yet she had thrown a tantrum over something as small as being pushed away. No wonder Kotomi had been angry. Yui even wanted to slap herself.

”Because... when we were kissing just now, you pushed me away. It made me feel like you were abandoning me. It felt really bad... I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have gotten angry.”

Yui explained everything honestly, holding nothing back.

Kotomi felt quite satisfied.

She wasn’t afraid of Yui throwing tantrums. What she feared was Yui keeping things bottled up inside.
