Chapter 76 - CH 57: IS IT WAR? IS IT THE END OF THE WORLD? NO! ITS A HAREM(3) (1/2)

A little earlier in the toilet,

Momo stared at her reflection in the mirror. She was truly mad. Not at Kuroha, she wasn't the kind of stupid tsundere who would hit the guy they love because they feel jealous. How could such actions even make your crush see you in another light? The more tsun you act the more you'll be nothing more than the violent tomboy in his mind. After all, how could a rational boy fall in love with a girl who only hit him for stupid reasons?

No, she was angry at her own reaction. She simply couldn't accept that while she was torturing her mind, two more girls came out of nowhere and became her obstacles.

Melissa and Nejire. Those two were very beautiful. What's more, Nejire seemed to be slightly interested in Kuroha. She put a little bit of water on her face,

”*Sigh* Momo what are you doing?”

Just as she continued to mope;

*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*

Someone knocked on the door. This was followed by a voice she easily recognized

”Momo, open the door. I have an idea.”

She didn't lock the door. After all, it was a public shop. But she understood that it was a form of courtesy.

”You can enter.”

The door slowly opened and Himiko with a concerned face entered.

”How are you? Alright, I hope.”

Himiko was worried about her? This thought was so bewildering that she couldn't answer properly for a while. By the time she recovered her spirit, Himiko was just in front of her.

(Since when? )

She was sure that she didn't blank out. How could she cover such a distance in such a little time? Her quirk had nothing to do with physical enhancement. Still, this allowed her to gather her spirit. She took a step back before answering.

”I'm alright. What do you want to talk about?”

While she backed off, she couldn't see the calculating light flash in Himiko's eyes. By the time she asked her questions all, she could see was Himiko letting out a sigh of relief before answering with a kind smile.

”I was just worried about you. It seemed like you didn't feel well.”

Momo could feel goosebumps through her whole body. Still, despite her current sadness, she wasn't some naive stupid girl. When something is too beautiful to be true, generally it means that it wasn't true. But, she didn't want to reject goodwill even if it seemed fake without enough proof. As such, she played the game.

She put her hand lightly on her chest and said before letting out a smile of her own. It was a smile filled with kindness and elegance.

”As I said, I am quite alright. I apologize for having worried you.”

Momo was a good actress. But in the face of Himiko's overwhelming talent as an actress, she was nothing more than a fumbling child trying to act like an a.d.u.l.t. Himiko easily saw through her facade, but she didn't mind. Rather, she would have been a little disappointed if Momo was so easily coaxed into believing her. Her plan was a long term one, and it began now. She took Momo's hand and put it on her own.

”I know you're hurting, I understand your pain. You might not trust me, but I really see you as someone important. You're my life long rival after all.”

A cheeky grin formed in her face as she said this. Momo would never believe her if she said that she saw her as a friend. But with her competitive nature, calling her a rival should stroke her ego in the good sense and lower her defense little.

Now in order to launch another attack, she let go of Momo, and did a little turn, giving her back to Momo,

”I told you that I have an idea, right? It's about Kuroha”

She needed to pick her interest,

”W-what kind of idea?”

(Bingo!)
