Their disgust can help me improve.

"Think about it carefully."

"Does Kirino sometimes feel sleepy in the morning?"

"That's caused by staying up late playing games."

Su Yu reminded.

Ayase Aragaki remembered.

Kirino did feel very sleepy in the mornings a few times.

But that's not necessarily because of the game...

"Kuroko is Kirino's otaku friend. I met Kirino at a bookstore; she was flipping through a game magazine. And the game she was playing wasn't your average game..."

Su Yu paused here.

"I don't believe it! Kirino could never be an otaku, much less like that kind of game!"

Ayase Aragaki clenched her small fist.

"Don't rush, let me finish."

Su Yu smiled.

He stood up and went to the window.

"I was surprised to find out that Kirino liked those kinds of games, but I didn't stop her. I became her online friend, got her to share the game with me, and then asked her out to reveal my identity."

"As you know, Kirino's father is very strict."

“If her father finds out about this, then it’s all over for Kirino.”

"So, I just said one sentence."

"Kirino, you don't want this either..."

"Dislike level from Ayase Aragaki: 50"

Ayase Aragaki glared at Su Yu.

"You...you actually threatened Kirino?"

That's in the past.

Su Yu turned around and said.

Ayase Aragaki was slightly taken aback.

"Kirino did become my girlfriend because of this incident. However, she has now completely fallen in love with me because I don't mind that she likes those kinds of games, I'm willing to help her keep it a secret, and I'm willing to find friends with similar interests for her."

Su Yu said word by word.

"That's wrong. Kirino shouldn't be an otaku; she should be an excellent student..."

"Everyone has another side, and Kirino is trying to balance both sides, which is why she gets so tired."

“I’m going to find Kirino right now and tell her to give up that interest. She shouldn’t become an otaku.”

As soon as Ayase Aragaki finished speaking, she went to open the door.

"You don't deserve to be Kirino's friend."

Su Yu said lightly.

Ayase Aragaki paused, turning to look at Su Yu, whose expression remained indifferent.

"You're saying I'm not worthy to be Kirino's friend?"

"Yes, you don't deserve it."

Su Yu came in front of her.

"Dislike level from Ayase Aragaki: 50"

Ayase Aragaki's eyes reddened.

"What makes you think I'm not good enough?"

"Besides Kirino's family, I'm the person who cares about her the most!"

"I know everything about Kirino!"

Su Yu shook his head.

"I am the one who cares about her the most, and I am also the one who understands her the most."

You said you cared about her the most.

"You're actually asking Kirino to give up her interests? Do you know what kind of behavior that is?"

"You want to cause her pain, you want Kirino to abandon her other personality. What she likes is her freedom. If you want her to become the Kousaka Kirino you envision, isn't that the same as wanting her to erase the otaku Kousaka Kirino?"

"Ayase Aragaki, you're so selfish."

When Ayase Aragaki heard Su Yu's words, she opened her mouth but couldn't utter a single word.

Su Yu sat back down on the edge of the bed.

"Go, go find Kirino, make her suffer, let Kirino know how much you, her friend, care about her."

"I……"

Ayase Aragaki didn't know what to say.

Su Yu patted the spot next to him.

"If you're not going, come and sit down."

Ayase Aragaki didn't hesitate much and sat down next to Su Yu again.

Su Yu stretched out his hand and held her slender waist.

"Now that we've finished talking about business, it's time to tease you."

"Dislike level from Ayase Aragaki: 50"

"Do you...do you have any ideas?"

Ayase Aragaki looked at Su Yu.

"Giving up my interests is absolutely impossible."

Su Yu shook his head.

"Then... then can't we just play normal games?"

"A normal version is available."

"Then let Kirino keep playing the normal version."

"What you're saying is like you want me to hold your hand but not bully you? Do you think that's possible?"

Upon hearing this, Ayase Aragaki realized something.

"You...you mean..."

“That’s right, Kirino is just like me.”

"So, does Kirino have feelings for me...?"

What does it mean to you?

Su Yu's expression was strange.

Ayase Aragaki blushed, unable to say anything.

Su Yu understood what she meant.

"She's an otaku, a girl who likes anime and manga. Don't get the wrong idea."

"Why? Am I not as cute as girls in anime?"

"?"

"I...I didn't mean that."

Ayase Aragaki realized what was happening.

My words did sound a bit strange.

Su Yu looked at Aragaki Ayase.

"I have a feeling that your concern for Kirino goes a little beyond the bounds of friendship?"

"I……"

"Could it be that you have feelings for Kirino..."

"I...I didn't."

Ayase Aragaki denied it, but dared not look at Su Yu.

Su Yu looked down at Ayase Aragaki in his arms.

"No wonder you hate me so much. It's not because I bullied you, but because I'm Kirino's boyfriend."

"I……"

"Do you think Kirino would find it strange if she knew her friend had feelings for her? Would she keep her distance from you?"

"You...you mustn't tell Kirino."

"If you want me not to tell Kirino, you have to learn some knowledge like her."

"What...knowledge?"

Ayase Aragaki had a bad feeling.

Su Yu whispered in her ear.

"Dislike level from Ayase Aragaki: 50"

Ayase Aragaki was both embarrassed and angry.

Su Yu lifted her chin.

"If you don't learn, I'll tell Kirino, you..."

"I studied!"

Ayase Aragaki said, embarrassed and annoyed.

Su Yu smiled.

……

"Dislike level from Ayase Aragaki: 50"

"Dislike level from Ayase Aragaki: 50"

"Dislike level from Ayase Aragaki: 50"

As Su Yu left Ayase Aragaki's room, he smiled as he looked at the virtual screen.

He knew, of course, that Ayase Aragaki cared about Kirino, but didn't actually like her.

However, her concern was indeed excessive.

In addition, there was Su Yu's deliberate misunderstanding.

This made her truly believe that she had some feelings for Kirino.

Su Yu returned to the room.

Kirino Kousaka, who was lost in thought, snapped out of it and looked at Su Yu.

"Senior, what's going on?"

"Ayase is doing well."

"?"

"I taught her some knowledge."

"You...how could you..."

"After I persuaded her, she now thinks that her concern for you is because she likes you."
