While I Was Giving Love Advice to My Best Friend, the School's Most Beautiful Girl Somehow Became the Closest Person to Me-Chapter 2Volume .4 - ※Alisas Frustration
※Alisa’s Frustration
Her beautiful black hair extends smoothly down her back. It’s glossy and very beautiful. I got this hair color from my mother’s genes… but having lived in Japan all my life, I honestly envy that hair color. If Ryouma preferred black hair…
“You have a great figure too, with long, slender limbs… I’m a bit self-conscious about my thighs, you know.”
Hiiragi-san has a good figure too, but not as much as mine. But what does that matter?
Honestly, it would be a problem if they got any bigger. They’re still growing… and it’s starting to affect my daily life.
On the other hand, Hiiragi-san is just the right size. She would look great in a swimsuit. And most importantly, the thighs. I read on the internet that boys like bigger thighs. If Ryouma likes thighs and thinks huge breasts are too much…
“I can’t win!”
“Alisa-chan, what’s wrong!? What can’t you win at?”
“It’s nothing.”
I can’t exactly say it’s you!
Sigh… I feel like I’m thinking too negatively. I need to calm down.
“If you’re worried about something, I’m here to listen if you want!”
It’s all because of you!? I can’t exactly say that, leaving me feeling frustrated…

“So you’ve been together since you were little.”
“Yes, all our parents were busy working, so Ryouma, Reo, and I spent a lot of time together. Ryouma was super cute when he was a child. I have albums at home, do you want to see them next time?”
“I’d love to!”
I soak in the bath with Hiiragi-san, chatting leisurely. Naturally, the main topic of conversation is Ryouma, the person we’re both interested in.
“Reo and I have never really gotten along. He always tries to take Ryouma away from me… and then smirks about it.”
“That attitude like he knows Ryouma the best is so annoying. I totally agree with you.”
And so, our conversation devolves into badmouthing Hirasawa Reo. Since she said they’ve been competing for Ryouma since childhood, a lot comes out. I definitely need to confront him with this material.
“If we were the same sex, I think we could have gotten along.”
“Is that so? I’ve always been close with my same-sex childhood friends.”
“That’s nice. I wish I could have been childhood friends with you, Alisa-chan.”
When a childhood friend of the opposite sex is involved, various emotions get mixed up. In a way, my brother was like a childhood friend… just like Shizuku and Kokoro.
“But Reo isn’t a bad guy. I just dislike him because he takes Ryouma away. As a person, he’s… well, decent, I think. That’s why I think Shizuku-chan made the right choice in choosing him.”
“I think so too.”
Ultimately, the strongest and cutest Shizuku chose Hirasawa Reo. We must not misunderstand that. This girl has good judgment.
“Shizuku-chan has a vibe similar to Ryouma. I wanted to become friends with her instantly.”
“That’s right! Shizuku is the cutest in the world.”
“Alisa-chan and Shizuku-chan make the best couple. I was envious…”
She understands Shizuku well. This girl is nice!
When she said she liked Ryouma, I wondered what I would do… but anyone who appreciates Shizuku can’t be bad. Maybe we really can become friends.
So I have to ask.
“By the way… do you like Ryouma?”
I had to convey these words.
“I also… like Ryouma.”

The time rewinds to the night spent with Shizuku one day prior.
“Eh, I have to tell Hiiragi-san that I like Ryouma!?”
“That’s right.”
I’m surprised by what Shizuku told me.
“You need to find a time to be alone with Hiiragi-san as soon as possible. Then you need to confirm if she likes Kogure-kun or not.”
Shizuku continues in a serious tone.
“Kogure-kun and Hiiragi-san aren’t dating yet, so there’s still a chance. But living with the person, we’re definitely at a disadvantage.”
“But why do I have to tell Hiiragi-san?”

“It’s to make Hiiragi-san aware that Alisa is aiming for Kogure-kun. That will surely make her hesitate. Any normal girl would give up if her love rival is Alisa.”
“Is that so?”
“Do you remember how many people have confessed to Alisa?”
There’s no way I could remember. I’ve been confessed to as often as the number of bread slices I eat every day, so I make it a point to forget them quickly, like exhaling a breath.
“Having a girl who takes confessions for granted as a love rival is hopeless. I’m really glad Reo-kun isn’t paying any attention to you, Alisa.”
“But Shizuku is cuter than me, so it’s only natural for Hirasawa-kun to like you.”
“Let’s drop that topic.”
I’m cut off abruptly as if she’s fed up. Why though?
“Hiiragi-san is honestly just as beautiful, so we can’t let our guard down… But knowing that Alisa likes Kogure-kun will be a significant deterrent.”
“I see.”
“Alisa, you must end up with the one you love. I’ll support you to the end!”

“By the way… do you like Ryouma?”
“Eh?”
Hiiragi-san looks at me with a puzzled expression.
“You’re always so close to Ryouma… so, I thought, maybe you like him?”
“Yes, I do.”
She admits it plainly. So that’s how it is. Then, as Shizuku said… I have to tell Hiiragi-san.
“Wha, I also like Ryouma! I’m in love with him.”
“…Alisa-chan.”
Hiiragi-san blinks rapidly, staring at my face. I wonder what kind of response I’ll get. But I think it’s better to have said it. I don’t want to lose when it comes to my feelings for Ryouma.
“That’s great! Ryouma is lucky to be liked by such a beautiful girl, truly fitting for my childhood friend.”
“Huh?”
I’m taken aback by the unexpected reaction. Instead of being upset, she’s actually pleased.
“You didn’t like Ryouma?”
“I do like him. Ah! Oh, I mean, I like Ryouma, but not in that way.”
Hiiragi-san suddenly starts to panic, her face turning a bit red… and a confused expression appears.
Maybe I misunderstood.
“I… I don’t really understand love. So I do love Ryouma, but I don’t know if it’s as a romantic love. It might be closer to how Alisa-chan feels about Shizuku-chan.”
“So that’s what your ‘like’ meant…”
“The only boys I’m close to are honestly just Ryouma and Reo. It’s certain that I like Ryouma the most among boys… but I don’t think it’s something Alisa-chan should worry about.”
“…perhaps that’s a good thing.”
I feel somewhat let down. If this was the case, there was no need to confess my feelings for Ryouma…?
