Their disgust can help me improve.

"Yumiko, I... I've always had someone I like, but I'm not good enough for them."

"How could there be a girl like that? Hayama-kun, you're lying to me, aren't you?"

“She’s not a student at our school. She’s a few years older than me. She’s a perfect person.”

"How long has Hayama-kun liked her?"

“I’ve liked her for a long time.”

"..."

Upon hearing this, Yumiko Miura's face turned somewhat pale.

She looked at Hayato Hayama, her eyes glistening with tears, but she held them back and turned her head away.

"I understand, Hayama-kun. However, I will continue to be your shield. I..."

"Yumiko..."

"Alright, Hayama, that's enough. Let me take Miura home."

Su Yu interrupted Hayama Hayato.

Chapter 13 I'll Only Give You One Chance

Hayato Hayama looked at Yumiko Miura after hearing Su Yu's words.

"Then I'm sorry to trouble you."

Su Yu watched Hayama Hayato leave.

"Want to know who Hayato Hayama likes?"

"Do...do you know him?"

Yumiko Miura opened her mouth.

Su Yu nodded.

"The eldest daughter of the Yukinoshita family."

"Yukino's older sister... Yukino's older sister?"

"Her name is Yukino Yukinoshita. Hayato Hayama has indeed liked her since childhood, but they are destined not to be together."

Because of your status?

"Yes, Hayato Hayama's father is the legal counsel for Yukinoshita Construction Company. Mrs. Yukinoshita would never allow them to be together."

Even so, Hayama probably wouldn't like other girls, right?

Yumiko Miura watched Hayato Hayama's retreating figure.

Su Yu pushed her bicycle forward.

"Hayama invited me today because I want to get to know you."

“I have a collaboration with Yukinoshita Haruno, and Hayama wants to become my friend.”

"He said those things just now because I made him tell the truth. If he didn't, I would let Yukinoshita Haruno know about it, and he was worried that his reputation in Yukinoshita Haruno's heart would be lowered."

"Dislike level from Yumiko Miura +10"

Su Yu saw the message that popped up on the virtual screen.

He stopped.

"If Miura-kun doesn't want to know me, then Hayama-kun and I can't become friends. I might even tell Yukinoshita about your situation."

"I'd like to get to know you."

Yumiko Miura clenched her little fist.

Su Yu took out his cell phone.

"Then let's exchange contact information."

Yumiko Miura came to Su Yu's side and exchanged contact information with him.

Su Yu put away his phone and looked her over.

"Dislike level from Yumiko Miura +30"

He turned his gaze away and looked ahead.

Even if Hayama-kun doesn't like you, are you still willing to make sacrifices for him?

"I like him, and I'm willing to do anything for him."

"Are you willing to pay a price to maintain my friendship with Hayato Hayama?"

"We have exchanged contact information."

"That's far from enough."

What else do you want from me?

"Holding hands, going on dates, and things like that."

"This is impossible."

Yumiko Miura said without hesitation.

Su Yu looked at her.

"Hayama Hayato hopes you'll give up on him and find someone better, but if I'm really bad, do you think Hayama will save you?"

"You...you mean..."

"If our relationship improves while I'm also maintaining close relationships with other girls, how would Hayato Hayama react?"

"Hayama..."

“That’s right, his reaction is crucial. You’ve already made him feel guilty today. If you’re deceived by me again because of his introduction, Hayama Hayato will feel even more guilty towards you.”

"But this is deception..."

"Haven't you been deceiving yourself all along? You've just been deceiving yourself. You think that if you don't confess, you still have a chance to stay by his side."

"..."

Yumiko Miura was silent.

Su Yu extended his hand.

"I'll only give you one chance."

"5"

"4"

"3"

When Su Yu counted to three.

Yumiko Miura took his hand.

Su Yu smiled slightly and held her small hand.

……

in the park.

Su Yu sat down on the bench.

Yumiko Miura sat down beside him.

Su Yu was holding the fried chicken nuggets she had just bought from the convenience store.

He tied one up with a bamboo skewer and held it to Miura Yumiko's lips.

Yumiko Miura wanted to refuse, but seeing the smile on Su Yu's face, she ate it anyway.

“Yumiko always appears very assertive in front of outsiders, but she always pretends to be gentle in front of Hayato Hayama. I like this contrast and think Yumiko is very cute, which is why I asked Hayato Hayama to introduce her to me,” Su Yu said.

"You know I like Hayama, so you deliberately had him introduce you to him?" Miura Yumiko looked at Su Yu.

"Yes."

"Why did you do that?"

"Because it's interesting..."

"Dislike level from Yumiko Miura +50"

Su Yu looked at Miura Yumiko's clenched fist.

"I was indeed the cause of this incident, but even without me, you would have ended up like this sooner or later."

"..."

Yumiko Miura slowly loosened her grip on her hand.

Indeed, the outcome would have been the same even without Su Yu.

Now, it's just a little earlier than expected.

"To be constantly immersed in the lies you've woven yourself is to create a false happiness, Miura-kun," Su Yu reminded him.

“I do.” Miura Yumiko turned her head.

"It's your turn to feed me."

"Don't you have any hands of your own?"

"After I'm done feeding you, I'll take you to the station."

"Humph."

Yumiko Miura took the paper bag and fed it to Su Yu.

Su Yu ate slowly and deliberately.

A few minutes later.

The fried chicken nuggets are all fed.

Yumiko Miura got up, threw the paper bag into the trash can, and turned to look at Su Yu.

Su Yu stood up and extended his hand.

Yumiko Miura hesitated for a moment, but still extended her small hand.

Su Yu held her small hand.

"Miura-san."

"Ok?"

I might dream about you tonight.

"Dislike level from Yumiko Miura +50"

……

Take Miura Yumiko to the station.

Su Yu went to the shopping mall before returning home.

The bed and wardrobe were delivered just in time.

The workers carried it into the room.

Su Yu made the bed and put the maid outfit into the wardrobe.

I went to the living room and waited for more than ten minutes.

The door opened.

Saki Kawasaki is back.

Su Yu got up and went to the entrance hall.

"What's the atmosphere like at the tutoring center?"

"Everyone's grades seem pretty good, which is quite different from what I'd expect at school."

Kawasaki Saki replied.
