This Feels So Good!

"Super high~" Aota deliberately dragged out the sound.

Fushimi Makoto nodded. "As good friends, we should definitely share the good times, right?"

"Hey, what do you want?"

"I'm wondering whether I should agree to be interviewed by the reporters and then recommend our school's Master Aota to them. You know, Master Aota is a gaming legend, a man who has played thousands of visual novels."

"Huh? Thousands of models?"

Upon hearing Fushimi Makoto's words, everyone, including Hayato Hayama, showed expressions of surprise.

They knew that Aota liked visual novels, but they didn't expect that he had actually played games worth four figures.

"Slander! He's slandering me! I've only played a hundred games," Aota said, both amused and exasperated.

After a brief uproar, Hayato Hayama was the first to express his concern. "Your popularity has reached its peak right now, not only because of the news about you saving people, but also because your pairing with Yukinoshita has gone viral for the first time."

The others nodded in agreement. "Yes, some people in our class have been talking about this all day."

"Me too, they're all bragging about 'I knew they were a couple all along,' it's hilarious, when Fushimi and Ichika are clearly the ones who are a couple."

"How could it be Ichika -kun? Isn't Kasumigaoka- senpai closer to him?"

"I think it's Miura -kun who is right."

Listening to everyone chattering away, as if they were all saying, "Let me help Fushimi count his harem," Fushimi Makoto.

To avoid being the target of everyone's criticism, he quickly changed the subject, saying, "I actually don't like facing reporters, which is why I never give interviews. But this time the buzz is too high, and I'm having a headache about what to do after school."

Upon hearing this, everyone began to think of a solution.

Some suggested climbing over the wall to leave the school, while others said that everyone could help attract attention so that Fushimi Makoto could escape.

Fushimi Makoto naturally expressed his gratitude for his friends' kind suggestions.

But that wasn't the reason he was distracted in class today.

Three whole days have passed, Mrs. Yukinoshita has been talking to him about the script on her phone almost every day.

For example, that movie has already been officially greenlit, and filming will officially begin when Nakano Ichika is available.

Mrs. Yukinoshita and he only talked about serious matters.

She never mentioned what happened that night.

She would text or call me every night without fail, which clearly meant that she cared a lot but didn't know how to bring it up.

"Logically, she should have understood what I meant that day. If we had just pretended not to know, this misunderstanding would have been over. But instead, she chose to contact me every day..."

Fushimi Makoto pondered for a long time before a possibility came to mind: Did she suspect that I had heard her playing?

Besides this answer, Fushimi Makoto couldn't think of any other one.

Only in this way will she keep contacting him, trying to get answers from him indirectly.

However, this made what could have been a simple problem become complicated.

"It's all the Charm Badge's fault!"

Fushimi Makoto sighed inwardly.

Just then, Yumiko's voice came from behind. "So you guys are here. No wonder I didn't see you in the cafeteria."

Everyone turned to look, Yumiko walked towards them alone, her pretty face full of concern.

Everyone immediately realized she had come to see Fushimi Makoto, and taking advantage of the remaining time to rest, they tactfully left.

Yumiko couldn't help but smile, "Everyone is so reliable."

She then moved closer, and her pleasant fragrance wafted into Fushimi Makoto's nostrils.

"Makoto, you've been spacing out all morning, haven't you? I've noticed you at least three times." She clearly wasn't going to give Fushimi Makoto a chance to deny it.

"So you saw it too?" Fushimi Makoto was somewhat surprised.

"Because it's too obvious." Yumiko chuckled first, then her tone softened. "I know you're worried about your high profile, and I know you don't like being interviewed by reporters waiting outside the school gate, so..."

She paused, a bright smile in her eyes, "I've prepared a mask and hat for you. Remember to wear them after school, that way those social media influencers might not recognize you."

"Thank you," Fushimi Makoto said sincerely.

Yumiko has always been a kind-hearted girl. This time, she misunderstood that I was worried about being harassed by reporters, so she decisively prepared a disguise for me.

"It's nothing," Yumiko said happily, lifting her chin. Then, as if remembering something, she leaned closer and said, "Let's walk home together after school. If I'm here, I can remind you to avoid the reporters."

Fushimi Makoto saw through her thoughts. "Is that all?"

Yumiko's expression hardened, and she turned her head away, scoffing, "Of course not. I'm absolutely furious about the CP controversy Yukinoshita."

Really.

Fushimi Makoto had already guessed that was the case.

Her concern was genuine, and so was her anger.

She suggested leaving with him after school, partly to help him relax, and partly because she didn't want to see him with Yukino.

"Although I'm not very close to Yukinoshita, and we're not even friends, I've heard some things about her from Itsuki."

Yumiko crossed her arms, looking somewhat annoyed and jealous. "Given her style, she might contact you in the next few days. If those self-media outlets that are just trying to get attention see that, you'll definitely be having a headache over this media frenzy again."

"That makes sense. Let's walk together after school then." Fushimi Makoto clasped his hands together. "I beg Yumiko to be my vanguard and clear away any obstacles for me."

Vanguard General?

Yumiko paused for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh, "What a strange way to address me, but since you've said so, I'm definitely willing to help. By the way..."

A charming blush suddenly rose on her fair face, and her voice held a hint of shyness. "Would you like to see the maid outfit I didn't wear for you last time?"

"I want to." Fushimi Makoto didn't hesitate at all.

"That's perfect, I still have some things to buy. After I finish shopping, I'll come to your house... as a guest."

In the end, she paused for a moment, too embarrassed to say the part about taking private photos.

After all, during her last private photoshoot, her clothes disappeared mid-shoot.

Then, just like in a certain game, Fushimi Makoto at point B.

Thinking about what was about to happen, she felt more excited than shy.

Chapter 213 This feeling is amazing!

In fact, Yumiko's worries were unnecessary.

Yukino was indeed aware of the online discussions about shipping couples, and some of her classmates, especially those with a strong sense of curiosity, had asked her about it.

But she didn't take it to heart at all.

Or perhaps she simply didn't have the energy to pay attention to those random noises, so naturally she wouldn't go looking for Fushimi Makoto as Yumiko had worried.

For Yukino, the most important thing right now is the filming schedule.

Even though her plan was already complete, she would still meticulously check for any omissions or deficiencies.

After all, this was her first opportunity to direct a short film.

Not only was she filled with fighting spirit and anticipation, but her mother was also waiting for her work.

Not to mention his acquaintances Fushimi Makoto.

If you're going to do something, do it to the best of your ability.

After school, Yumiko successfully "kidnapped" Fushimi Makoto.

However, before leaving the school, Fushimi Makoto received a message from Nakano Itsuki: Ichika's scenes would officially wrap up tomorrow, which meant that Nino would be having the big meal she mentioned tomorrow.

Fushimi Makoto recalled the flickering look in Nakano Itsuki's eyes before he left, and he could already foresee how chaotic the Nakano Family would be the next night.

We'll see if it's a duet between Ichika and Nino, or if Itsuki goes alone.

Or perhaps...

Fushimi Makoto didn't continue thinking about it.

He was wearing the mask and hat that Yumiko had prepared, and accompanied the girl to buy a power bank. The two then strolled around the neighborhood.

He could tell that Yumiko really enjoyed shopping, so he wasn't in a hurry to go home and take some personal photos, and decided to spend more time with the girl.

As the two passed a women's clothing store, Fushimi Makoto's gaze casually swept across the store, but he spotted a familiar figure.

Sawamura Sayuri.

This beautiful woman's outfit was still brightly colored, and her hair was styled in pigtails. In addition, like Eriri Spencer Sawamura, she had a small bust. If she didn't tell anyone her age, she would look like a young woman in her early twenties.

From Fushimi Makoto's perspective, she really did look like a young woman, all smiles, chatting happily with the sales assistant inside.

What are you looking at?

Yumiko's attention was mostly on Fushimi Makoto. Seeing that he seemed to care a lot about the women's clothing store, she simply stopped and followed him inside.

Because she didn't know Sawamura Sayuri, she automatically ignored the beautiful and charming woman even though she saw her.

Fushimi Makoto was about to say that he had seen someone he knew, Yumiko interrupted in a strange tone, "Makoto, this is a women's clothing store."

"Of course I know this is a women's clothing store," Fushimi Makoto, puzzled.

Yumiko's tone became even stranger. "You've been staring in that direction the whole time..."

Fushimi Makoto was taken aback, but immediately understood what the other person meant.

Sawamura Sayuri was standing near the lingerie section, and his gaze was fixed on it, which naturally seemed a bit strange to Yumiko.

"You're overthinking it. I don't have that kind of weird hobby. I just saw someone I know and was hesitating whether to go over and say hello," Fushimi Makoto explained with a smile.

Yumiko didn't send a letter.

She did take private photos with Fushimi Makoto.

Of course she knew how lecherous he was!

The direction that Fushimi Makoto just now didn't only contain ordinary styles of underwear.

There are also even sexier and hotter styles for the erotic zone...

Yumiko recalled that Fushimi Makoto had just expressed his desire to see a maid outfit without hesitation, and she naturally continued to ponder this.

Finally, she came to a conclusion: Fushimi Makoto was very interested in the romance novel!

In fact, her guess was correct; Fushimi Makoto would certainly be interested in this type of style.

And they have quite a bit of interest in it.

But he wasn't thinking about those things at the moment; all he wanted to do was accompany Yumiko shopping to relax, and then go home to take some private photos.

"You're not in a hurry to go home right now, are you?" Yumiko suddenly asked.

"That depends on whether you're in a hurry or not," Fushimi Makoto said with a smile, passing the buck back.

"Huh? How could I be in a hurry?"

Yumiko blushed, too embarrassed to continue the conversation, and immediately pulled Fushimi Makoto into the women's clothing store.

Fushimi Makoto assumed she just wanted to buy clothes on a whim and didn't think much of it, figuring it would be a good opportunity for him to say hello to Sawamura Sayuri.

After Yumiko pulled Fushimi Makoto into the store, she let go of him after only a couple of steps.

She didn't have the nerve to lead him to the love zone.

"I'm going to look at some clothes over there," she said.

Fushimi Makoto nodded.

Yumiko, feigning composure, went to the other side and chatted casually with the enthusiastic sales assistant for a couple of minutes. She then Fushimi Makoto had a twin-tailed "beautiful girl" next to him.

Damn it, I was only gone for less than three minutes!

Yumiko suddenly panicked and casually asked the sales assistant to pack the black one she had chosen, then hurried back home.

As soon as she arrived behind Fushimi Makoto and the other woman, the twin-tailed woman smiled brightly and said, "So, can you tell me why you're alone in the women's clothing store?"

Elder sister?

So it wasn't a flirtation, but an acquaintance?

Yumiko thought about Fushimi Makoto had just said and realized that he hadn't lied.
