Chabashira: "Go Ahead, Make My Life Miserable!" Double Feature, 10,000-Word Special! (Continued)

[Nakano Yuu: Today was a real surprise; I never expected to meet my senior in this kind of situation.]

[Asahina Nazuna:...]

Asahina- senpai didn't reply immediately, but she must have seen the message, as it was marked as read.

[Nakano Yuu: Are you free lately, senpai?]

Asahina must have seen the message again, but she still didn't reply, so it remained in read status.

"..."

Kushida.

"You won't get to meet girls by chatting like that."

Kushida remarked.

Since they had finished eating, Nakano Yuu went to sit next to her, so the two were quite close, which could be considered the level of intimacy that Nakano Yuu mentioned earlier when she said she was "just having a date with Kushida".

So naturally Kushida also saw the message sent by Nakano Yuu.

"Is this Asahina- senpai from earlier?"

Kushida said.

"You know her number?"

Nakano Yuu looked at her.

"During the holidays, I also had some contact with older students and got some phone numbers. Among them, Asahina Nazuna is considered one of the most outstanding students in her grade."

"I saw Asahina's number from a senior student, and I memorized it right away."

Kushida said.

So your intelligence network is pretty impressive.

Nakano Yuu retracted his assessment of Kushida. Although this person wasn't very bright and even had some mental issues, he was truly amazing when it came to gathering intelligence.

"But you can remember numbers you've only seen once."

Nakano Yuu was somewhat surprised by Kushida.

"Does she have such a good memory?"

"Remember it strongly."

Kushida said.

"Because I want to gain someone's favor and have something to talk about with them, I definitely need to learn as much information about them as possible. So, things like phone numbers can't be memorized wrong. Even if it's painful, I have to memorize them all."

So you always say your academic ability isn't enough, and you need younger female students to help you out. If you put all your focus on studying, do you really not have time to get up at night?

Nakano was skeptical.

"So how should we reply now?"

Nakano Yuu asked Kushida.

"Hehe, are you asking me to give you pointers on how to flirt with other girls?"

Kushida said.

"Nakano-kun, this isn't a good idea."

"I'm not pursuing her."

Nakano-kun said.

"I'm not like Nagumo; my feelings for Kushida are completely devoted."

"..."

Kushida instantly felt goosebumps.

Although this guy is a player or a womanizer, he has indeed had many opportunities to meet girls, but it seems he hasn't done anything with her.

From this perspective, his relationship with her is indeed the closest.

So, what about further development...?

No, no, no.

That's not a good idea.

Kushida quickly stopped this strange thought. Although she knew she was cute and had a sweet personality, which probably made it easy for her to attract boys' attention and affection, she didn't believe that her true self was popular.

At least, Nakano Yuu is someone who knows her true colors.

So, it's unlikely that someone like him would have feelings for her. Kushida has said that her goal is to build the Kushida Empire, using her extraordinary affability and approachable nature to gain a sense of superiority. Therefore, it's impossible for her to get involved in romantic relationships during high school.

So now you need to stop, stop, stop overthinking. And definitely don't get caught up in any strange romantic relationships.

She doesn't need that right now.

"If a girl only reads a message but doesn't reply, she's probably busy."

Kushida then chose to divert Nakano Yuu's attention and give him a helping hand.

"Are you just busy?"

"Nakano Yuu said."

"Of course, but she probably has some goodwill towards you, because even though she was busy, she still read your message. However, it hasn't reached the level of value she needs, so she hasn't replied."

"However, the fact that she read your message so quickly shows that she cares about you. Otherwise, she wouldn't have checked your messages when she was busy."

Kushida said.

Profound.

So, Nakano-kun followed the advice of his strategist Kushida and started typing.

[Nakano Yuu: Senpai, are you in some kind of trouble? If you need any help...]

His words ended there, and at that moment, they were not immediately read.

"He probably wasn't looking at his phone."

Kushida said.

The two sat there, waiting for a possible reply from their senior, while Nakano Yuu gently pressed Kushida's hand.

"No, I don't want it!"

Kushida quickly prepared to get up.

"Today."

But Nakano said...

"I shook hands with Ichinose."

"..."

Kushida.

Kushida, who was about to get up, stopped abruptly and then subconsciously sat back down.

This is her weakness.

She not only wanted to make friends with others to show her approachability, but also hoped to learn about other people's secrets and secrets—things that couldn't be told to others.

And now, Nakano Yuu is throwing out just that kind of bait for her.

This concerns him or Ichinose.

In other words, it will remain a secret for now.

In that case, wouldn't she be unable to refuse? She had already noticed that Nakano Yuu often precisely hit her sore spots, and now, he was tempting her even more precisely.

So, Kushida sat down again, and Nakano Yuu took her hand.

I felt a completely different sensation from that of Ichinose.

"I went to deliver the entry form today and unexpectedly bumped into Ichinose being confessed to by someone."

"Nakano Yuu said."

"Was I confessed to?"

Kushida didn't seem surprised by this.

After Ichinose surpasses her in every aspect and is extremely popular. So it's perfectly normal for her to have some admirers.

"Yes, but he's a special person."

"Nakano Yuu said."

"So at that time Ichinose wanted to pretend to be my boyfriend and girlfriend to make the other party back off."

"Could it be Shiranami Chihiro?"

Kushida inquired...?

Nakano Yuu looked at her with some surprise, while Kushida continued to act cute.

So, you really do know a lot.

"So, have any girls confessed their Kushida in the same way?"

I can't believe it Nakano Yuu asked curiously.

"No, no."

Kushida said.

"I'll run away the moment I spot a girl like that."

In other words, Kushida orientation is perfectly normal and quite decisive.

From this perspective, Ichinose's personality is the rather indecisive type.

Nakano analyzed the differences between the greater and lesser angels.

"However, Ichinose- kun, who was following Shiranami, was really too conspicuous."

Kushida said.

"I'm afraid even Classmate Sakayanagi could tell."

In other words, anyone can see it.

"Then I didn't agree to Ichinose, but I shook hands with her after she directly rejected Shiranami."

"Nakano Yuu said."

"..."

Kushida.

Then you're really not up to the task. If Ichinose actively invites you to pretend to be her boyfriend, that actually carries a different meaning, you know? You see, girls only entrust help to people they trust or have feelings for.

After all, it would be troublesome if they took it too seriously.

Therefore, one needs to be especially careful in choosing a partner, but doesn't that mean Ichinose has a high level of affection for this guy?

And since Nakano Yuu occasionally follows and chases after Ichinose, is this actually a mutual pursuit between the two?

Nakano Yuu's attitude then needs careful consideration: why did he refuse Ichinose's invitation to pretend to be her boyfriend? While it might be fake at school, it could be real in front of Shiranami, so this was actually an opportunity to get closer to Ichinose.

But he refused.

In other words...

This guy doesn't want a fake boyfriend/girlfriend relationship; he wants a real one.

You haven't placed Ichinose in a very special position, have you?

Even so, Nakano Yuu was fine with whatever he did, but this conclusion made her somewhat unhappy.

"Drop!"

At that moment, Nakano Yuu's phone vibrated; he had received a message.

[Asahina Nazuna]

The phone screen displayed the other person's name.
