Yuu Nakano: "Relax!" Kushida: "Relax my a-※" (Continued)

Meanwhile, woman B was also completely indifferent to woman A, and she also wanted to confide in her.

Then the two of them went to Kushida separately and spoke ill of each other.

It was like this in junior high school, and at that time, Kushida couldn't handle the pressure, so she confided in someone on her blog, which was then leaked, and the whole class went wild.

She needs to be "everyone's Kushida" and also act as a "close confidante".

Kushida is having a really tough time.

Nakano Yuu felt completely uncomfortable just thinking about this kind of life.

However, as long as Kushida doesn't give up this lifestyle, the situation of kicking the railing will definitely return.

Nakano-kun is also looking forward to the day when Kushida has another mental breakdown, so that Kushida can complete another 10 times.

No, it won't.

Hearing Nakano-kun's words, Kushida seemed somewhat surprised, thinking that this person actually still had a conscience. So she smiled sweetly, as if she had relaxed a lot. "But I didn't expect that Nakano-kun would be so understanding of me."

"I'm really enjoying my life right now."

Kushida adopted a serious expression and said softly, "Everyone treats me like a friend and confides their secrets to me. It makes me feel trusted and needed. It's very fulfilling."

Perhaps.

Nakano Yuu remained noncommittal.

He thought of Ichinose, who was similar to Kushida, as someone who liked to be everyone's friend and was trusted by everyone.

However, Nakano Yuu couldn't understand it because he felt very tired.

Ichinose is alright; she genuinely enjoys helping others.

However, Kushida Nakano Yuu always felt that she just liked the atmosphere, rather than actually enjoying helping others.

The events in the original work also prove this point.

So, she must have been living a very tiring life, always wearing a mask and pretending.

"Hmm, Nakano-kun, aren't you the same?"

However, Kushida shook his head and said seriously, counting on his fingers, "Your interpersonal relationships are quite complicated too."

"And then we try our best to maintain it."

"For example, your ex-girlfriend Classmate Sakayanagi, might drop out of school at any time."

"And now I like Ichinose."

"However, it seems you still have feelings for Horikita- san. You want to subtly change her."

"He even treats Sakura. What a terrible guy."

"And during this time, my contact with Karuizawa also increased."

"Although our relationship is about to end, I also feel that it must have been very difficult for you to maintain those feelings."

"It's like finding the right balance."

Kushida said.

"If I had to describe it, it would be... casting a net to catch fish. You won't date any girls until you actually catch one."

Um.

It can be said that...

Spending time alone with Kushida has its pros and cons.

Just as Nakano-kun noticed the messages on Kushida's phone, Kushida also discovered his interpersonal relationships.

It could be said that Kushida also learned of his secret.

Fortunately, she was unaware that there was someone special in his phone, or rather, an ordinary person who probably wouldn't consider her an object of his emotional attachment. After all, their identities weren't suitable. So even Kushida couldn't recognize that he actually harbored special feelings for someone else.

"I had no choice."

Nakano opened his arms.

"Because my family owns a hospital, after graduating from high school, my main goal was to go to the University of Tokyo Faculty of Medicine. I would be busy studying, so I wouldn't have much choice in terms of dating or marriage."

So, are we currently laying the foundation?

While she felt there were some points of doubt in Nakano Yuu's statement, she couldn't deny that if the other person's college application schedule was really that tight, then finding someone they liked to marry would indeed require preparing during high school.

Because she might be too busy to meet other girls, relationships would become more materialistic, for example, she might only be able to choose arranged marriages or similar options. And based on her understanding of Nakano Yuu, he is actually very picky and wouldn't accept anything easily.

So it's not surprising that he chose to find a girlfriend in high school, since relationships developed during high school are more likely to last.

Moreover, this school has quite a few outstanding girls... It's understandable if there are one or two class beauties, but it's unbelievable that there are several, or even school beauties.

For example, Kushida thinks she's pretty good-looking, like an angel, but she's outshone by Horikita, her classmate. Karuizawa, when she's being gentle, seems even cuter than her. In Class A, there's Ichinose, who's similar to her in many ways but completely outclasses her. In Ichinose Class B, there's Classmate Sakayanagi. And in Class C, there's the literary girl Shiina Hiyori.

In this way, she becomes ordinary, and among many beautiful girls, her advantages are diminished.

It's really annoying. But that's not what Kushida excels at; it's his affability—quickly becoming friends with others and then learning their secrets. This is an ability that most people can't do.

And now.

"So, Kushida, if I haven't found a marriage partner by the future, will you marry me?"

"Nakano Yuu," he suddenly said.

"..."

Kushida.

It's fair to say that Kushida was somewhat flustered for that brief moment.

After all, this guy is a top choice in terms of family background, appearance, personality, and intelligence.

Most importantly, she discovered that her true self had absolutely no effect on this guy; or rather, it was the first time she had met someone who could accept her completely.

This is also why she often fails to uphold her bottom line.

The first time I was deceived by him time and time again.

And given how close she is to this guy, can she really face her future boyfriend without any pressure? I feel a bit of pressure.

Unfortunately.

She shook her head again.

"Impossible."

She said.

"Our relationship is over now. At least during high school, I'm not going to get involved in any romantic relationships. Right now, I'm only thinking about high school life, so I'm not considering the future. Besides, you said you won't find a marriage partner in the future, which means you're using me as a backup plan. I don't like that."

Is that so?

Unfortunately, in his plan to find five girlfriends and support five stepsisters, he hit a wall as soon as he found his first girlfriend.

Furthermore, if Kushida resists the backup option, then she won't be the only backup option, because she'll be the fifth one.

"Alright."

"Nakano Yuu said."

"Then let's get ready to begin."

Nakano Yuu reached out and grasped Kushida's left hand, pulling her closer.

He couldn't understand Kushida's fondness for taking baths. She figured she'd get dirty anyway and have to wash again, but she felt it was better to be clean from the start.

But who can resist a girl bathing you? At least you'll smell nice right now.

Therefore, Nakano is very honest.

Remember, tomorrow is the start of the new semester.

Kushida held down his hand, which had already started moving upwards, and began to warn him.

"I have to go to class."

"Rest assured."

"Nakano Yuu said."

"I know my limits. And I didn't expect you to spend all 600,000 points on Okamoto; you actually bought out all the family planning supplies in the shopping district. Are you that afraid I won't be able to control myself and do something to you? Sure, I didn't buy anything, so I won't go any further, but I'll repeat what I've done before. Anyway, to avoid being disturbed later, let's both put our phones on silent."

This is also a bit of a regret, as it was my last time with Kushida. Nakano-kun had considered taking things further.

But Kushida told him it was hopeless. She also told him that the period leading up to the start of the school year was her danger period.

She also bought all the Okamoto 001 and wouldn't put them out. The school noticed this and temporarily stopped ordering more.

"..."

Kushida.

Let's trust him for now; the deal will be over after today anyway.

So the two of them silenced their phones and got to work.

That's how it should be, logically speaking.

The next day, they were both late.

The school follows a three-semester academic year, and today, August 1st, marks the start of the second semester.

In accordance with the unique characteristics of Ikusei High School, the 1st of each month is always the day everyone's living expenses are deposited, and it is also the day the Special Exam rules for the month are announced.

After writing the words "[All-Grade Sports Festival]" on the blackboard, Chabashira Sae arrived at the classroom door in her black high heels.

Because there are two late students standing here.

"Although the second semester doesn't involve behavioral assessments like the first, being late is still not a good habit."

Chabashira crossed his arms and said.

"Feel sorry."

Kushida, who was late, appeared quite well-behaved.

"You go in first."

The Chabashira didn't mean to make things difficult for her. However, she blocked another person who was late.

"I forgot I had class today."

Nakano-kun, on the other hand, took a more direct approach, drawing the enemy's firepower directly to that side.

Because, did they simply forget they had class today?

That's incredibly brave!

At least some of the students sitting in the class glanced at Nakano a few times.

They've had a month-long holiday, and they don't want to get up and go to class.

But though he said it without thinking, Chabashira suddenly realized that this guy could indeed skip class, or more accurately, skip class in Class D.

He can go to other classes now.

And that is indeed the case.

Nakano Yuu already has the money for the transfer in his phone.

Before he went to the Island Exam, he had 6 million points in his account. Then, after the Island Exam, Ichinose transferred 5 million points to him.

Next, the VIP Exam ended, and the points from classes A, B, and C were transferred. Nakano Yuu gave 10% to Horikita, and then transferred 6 million points from Island Exam to Horikita, but he still had 4.8 million points himself.

So at this point, the total points he could actually get were 15.8 million: the original 6 million, the points he received from the 5 million he received, and the points he received from the 4.8 million he received.

But that's not all.

After returning from the VIP Exam, the school gave out money during the holiday, so the three classes transferred 1.2 million points, and then the Ichinose Class paid off an additional 2.5 million points.

And today is another day for distributing money.

So even though Nakano Yuu hasn't checked his phone yet, the points from each class should have been transferred over again.

But it's already reached 20 million.

We can run away at any time, and the other party will definitely run away too.
