Cute.

With a great figure.

And a big butt.

Kurumi, my housemate, who sneaks into my bed every night and comforts me.

I was talking about her with my friends, and after my childhood friend Sayuki (紗雪) overheard, Sayuki started acting strange.

She asks strange questions, keeps incessantly asking what kind of 'Kurumi' she is, and I feel like she's gotten closer to me than before.

"You made me a bento? Oh, thanks."

"Huh? Are you asking if Kurumi doesn't make me bentos?"

"Of course she can't! Because Kurumi is my pet 'dog'!"

...From such a misunderstanding and miscommunication, my childhood friend Sayuki confessed to me, crying, "Even if I get rejected, I want to tell you how I feel!"

It was then that I finally realized the misunderstanding, desperately cleared up the confusion, confessed that I also liked Sayuki, and we started dating.

But Sayuki is still acting strange...

Yeah, there's something I want to shout out right now.

—Why is she competing with my pet dog over everything?!

My childhood friend, who usually acts like a class representative, started suddenly showing her affectionate side after competing with the dog.

...Well, since both are cute, I guess it's fine.
