You're a Mature High School Girl Now

This is hard for him to believe.

"Um, this... uh..."

Yuigahama his direct words and was speechless for a moment.

"What do you like about me? Let's just chat casually, don't be nervous. Lots of people like me, I don't care."

Shuya looked at the figure, pondering that if he couldn't catch it, he'd have to use his ability.

Anyway, the money I invested is enough to buy one... Speaking of which, this broken claw has definitely been tampered with, right?

Yuigahama muttered, "It's... it's a gentle place, a powerful place... a considerate place, and... a good-looking place..."

"I see."

Shuya sincerely remarked, "So ordinary."

"However, you've probably misunderstood something. I don't deny that you're capable and good-looking, but your so-called gentleness and consideration are just your illusions. You think that way because you're cute, and I'm just taking extra care of you."

Shuya reinforced his claws with his Power of Will and successfully grabbed the figure. He bent down, took out the box, and said, "It's alright if you like me because of this, but I'm sorry, I won't reciprocate your feelings."

Yuigahama panicked. "Why... why is this not allowed?"

"Nothing is impossible. Whether you like me or not is your freedom, but I don't consider this level of liking to be true love. In my opinion, you're just a fan."

Shuya's gaze shifted from the figures to Yuigahama: "Yui- chan, the reason I'm telling you this is because you're a good girl, and I don't want you to get too involved. But at this point, I advise you to give up on this idea as soon as possible."

"I won't make a move on you recklessly. Perhaps it would be better for you to find a guy who only loves you, rather than a man like me."

He had wanted to say these things to Yuigahama for a long time, but he never had the chance.

Now might not be the best time, but if he doesn't speak up now, things will get worse once Yuigahama even more infatuated with him.

"..."

Yuigahama hearing his blunt words, Yui gripped the shoulder straps of her backpack with both hands, her fingers gradually tightening.

"... Why... why say such things...?"

She stared intently at Shuya: "And how do you know I don't really like you?"

She looked like she was about to cry.

Shuya remained calm and was not swayed by her expression.

"Don't get agitated, I didn't say that. It's just... well, I've been through a lot, and I feel bad about bothering a pure girl like you. Just consider it a blissful moment of my saintly heart."

He always knew that having a harem meant he couldn't love every girl equally.

In that case, he should at least be sure that the other person truly likes him before he will date them.

Instead of approaching relationships with so-called idealistic or idol-chasing feelings, that would be very troublesome.

Of course, this does not include users like those who are "o-friends".

Shuya say such things because he thinks Yuigahama is a good person.

If Yuigahama's feelings aren't real, he hopes she can realize it in time.

Otherwise, if she and he end up together, even if she regrets it, he won't let her go.

He knew he was a greedy man... but he still had a tiny bit of integrity left.

At the very least, things should be explained clearly.

"You know I have many women around me. Although I'm only currently dating two, I'm sure Mai, Yukino, and Hyakka will also date me in the future. I won't belong to you alone."

Shuya said frankly, "I have to say this first, otherwise there's no point in lying."

"Xiu, Shu-chan, why won't you believe in my feelings?"

Yuigahama bit her lip, her voice trembling, and she looked very pitiful.

Shuya shrugged. "I believe you like me. But Yui- chan, you need to understand that liking and loving are not the same thing."

If you ask me if I like you, I can answer yes. But ultimately... is it love?

"Obviously not. Think about how long we've known each other? You tell me how much you love me? I simply can't believe it."

Shuya said, "To tell you the truth, Ayase and Kirino both like me, but I still don't think it's love. The feelings they have for me are probably similar to your feelings for me. So I'm not targeting you, you can rest assured about that."

That's why he hasn't made a move against them.

After he finished speaking, he ruffled the Dango on Yuigahama's head, quite pleased with the feel of them.

Yuigahama the shoulder strap of her backpack and said weakly, "Shu-chan, your thinking is so weird..."

I just don't want you to regret it later.

To be honest, he felt that a good man like him was truly rare in this world.

Most men, if they have a beautiful girl like that, will probably just go for it without thinking twice.

In this open era, Shuya's ideas may seem pretentious, but this is one of the few principles he holds.

His bottom line is not to play with people's feelings.

He knew he couldn't give equal love to every woman around him.

Therefore, at the very least, there should be no deception or ambiguity in the relationship between the two parties.

He was well aware of the consequences of deception.

Besides, given Shuya's status and appearance, it's common for girls to mistake their admiration for love.

They don't know his personality or preferences, and they call him "husband" without even having met him once. If this is love, it would be so funny it would make people laugh out loud.

Mistaking estrus for love is quite an unusual idea.

Shuya is very cautious about his feelings for Yuigahama.

He admitted he wasn't a good person, but he didn't want to hurt a good girl.

Yuigahama remained silent for a long time.

Shuya didn't find it troublesome and stayed by her side.

After a long while, she raised her head.

Section 606, Chapter 564: You are now a mature JK (high school girl).

Yuigahama she said firmly, "Shu-chan, I understand. As long as I prove that I really like you, that's enough, right?"

You could think that way too.

I will try my best!

Yuigahama clenched her fist and announced, "Xiaoyu's older sister asked me before if I wanted to join your agency, and I've decided to! I want to work with you and slowly make you understand my true feelings!"

"Hmm... if that's your decision, I won't say anything."

Shuya scratched his head. "But..."

"... but?"

Yuigahama tensed up and looked at Shuya with puppy-dog eyes.

Whether you can work in the financial sector is up to my mother.

Shuya coughed slightly. "Also... even if you prove your sincerity, I don't think I ever said I would definitely accept you..."

Yuigahama was stunned.

Shuya a little embarrassed. "I admit I like you, but it doesn't seem to be to the point where we should be dating..."

He's not a casual man.

"Shu-chan!!!"

Yuigahama couldn't take it anymore and angrily pounced on him, punching his chest with her little fists.

"Wait a minute, although I don't intend to date you, your enthusiasm still scores quite high points in my eyes."

Shuya grabbed her hands and then pushed her away.

"Waaah, I feel like the roles of boys and girls are reversed."

Yuigahama thought to herself, "This is so different from other people's relationships. Isn't it usually the guy who takes the initiative?"

"Who says men have to take the initiative and women can't? That's sexism."

Shuya asked in return, then said earnestly, "Yui- chan, you're a mature high school girl now. If you meet a boy you like, you should bravely pursue him."

Yuigahama remained silent for a long time.

"Okay, stop making that face. How about we go take some photo booth pictures? I'm telling you, I'm only asking you today because I feel sorry for you, otherwise I wouldn't even do this kind of thing."

"I want to take the picture!"

Yuigahama called out.

After they finished filming, Yuigahama asked shyly, "Um, Shu-chan... when are we going to meet your mom?"

"?"

Shuya asked suspiciously, "I feel like there's something hidden in your words."

However, he didn't mind. "To be honest, your grades are a little worrying. Let's wait until after the final exams. You can come to our firm for a trial period during the summer vacation."

"Oh..."

Yuigahama somewhat disappointed.

"There's one more thing, could you please join the group first?"

What group?

Yuigahama she spoke.

"It's mainly a group chat for me and my friends, mostly people from the firm."

Except for Gorilla.

Shuya opened Line and invited her to join the group, and she accepted without hesitation.

"Let me see... Oh? Xiaoxue is here too?"

Yuigahama all the group members were using their real names, Yui changed her name to Yui as well.

Yui: "Ya, ya hello..."

Shuya: "Welcome, newcomer."

Many people in the group surfaced.

Kyousuke: "Welcome, welcome."

Haruno: "Huh? Isn't this Yui- chan? Yay!

Motoko: "Joy"

Hyakka: "Yui- chan going to join our agency? Shuya finally made his move on you?"

Shuya: "What do you mean by this move? Don't use such ambiguous language."

Hyakka: "Hehe."

Haruno: "Yukino- chan, Yukino- chan, where are you? Your friend is here?"

Motoko: "Welcome."

Shuya: "Strange, Yukino- chan and Mai- chan haven't come out yet. Are they busy?"

Hyakka: "I checked Twitter, they seem to be together, so it's normal that they don't have time to go on Line."

Haruno: "Shu-chan got dumped!"

Kyousuke: "My sister isn't online either."

The group chat was refreshing rapidly, and after just a few more sentences, the conversation completely veered off-topic.
