"...don't scare , Yumiko."
Under this speechless expression, Yumiko snorted and said, "Who is scaring you? I just can't enter the class since you are blocking the door!"
"....."
Tobe didn't say anything and just looked at his side, which was the wall instead of the door, then he looked at Yumiko in silence, making her blush and look away.
"....." 2x
"Let's go in."
"O-Oh."
Watching him, who didn't seem to mind much about her words and just entered the classroom, Yumiko lowered her head in sha, thinking how childish she was being, yet also pouted as she looked at his back, feeling quite annoyed since, despite their previous bet, he was having fun with a cute girl!
Naturally, Yumiko also knew Maaya, as Maaya was quite famous.
Maaya might not be as beautiful as her, but even so, Yumiko knew that Maaya was likable and had many friends, which made her surprised to see Tobe, this bastard, who provoked her, be close with such a popular girl.
"...you are so close with Narasaka, Tobe?"
Despite showing her haughty expression, the voice that ca out from her beautiful lips was relatively low.
"Hmm... I wonder."
"You wonder? You two are practically like lovers now! You have so much confidence in your score on the exam that you can even play around?"
"..."
Why did her words sound like a girl who was jealous sohow?
Still, he stopped and looked at Yumiko slowly, thinking that she was beautiful despite how nasty her words were. Her lips were moist, seemingly covered in a colored lip balm, her hair was also carefully arranged with slight curls at the ends, and her body was also well-maintained, as she also exercised daily, keeping her body in perfect shape.
Even though she was like this, Tobe could tell that she was a hardworking girl.
Regardless, he wondered why this girl was so... prickly.
Was it her ti of the month?
"We just got to know each other yesterday."
"Huh? Really? Yesterday?"
"Yup."
"Then, how could your relationship be so close?"
"...why does it sound like you want to hear my story now?"
"It's fine, isn't it?"
Tobe looked at Yumiko for a mont and asked, "Don't tell that you want to copy , so you can get close to soone you like?"
"...."
Watching her silence and slowly blushing face, Tobe knew that he was correct.
"I-It doesn't matter, right? Anyway, tell !"
"This thod won't work all the ti."
"Why?!"
"First, that soone has to have a slight interest in you first; if not, then it is impossible."
Watching her expression, which clearly did not believe him, Tobe sighed helplessly, then put his hand softly on her back and pulled her close to the window of the classroom. "Let's go over there. Let's talk there."
"O-Okay..."
It startled her when Tobe put her hand on her back softly, but she didn't have much of a reaction or rejection, and just followed him obediently as she wanted to learn from him.
"Look at that guy over there."
"Which one?"
"The gloomy one."
"What's wrong with that guy?"
From her expression, it was clear that Yumiko looked down on the guy, which made him speechless.
"Let's say that boy wants to get close to you, will you give him a chance?"
"No."
"...you sure are rciless."
"I am just telling the truth."
If one didn't have an interest in another, then that's it; Yumiko wouldn't even bother to talk with that person. "Anyway, tell how you got close to that girl!"
Sighing, Tobe realized that this girl didn't realize what he had said. "Let's say that you are that guy, and that guy that you have a feeling for is you. If you don't even give that gloomy guy a chance to get closer, do you think it is possible for you to get closer to the guy that you are interested in?"
"....."
Like how Yumiko wouldn't give the gloomy guy a chance to approach her, the one she had a feeling for, also didn't give her a chance to get close to him.
If that happened, what would one do?
"T-Then, what should I do?"
"...don't cry on , okay? What if others mistake for the one who did this to you?"
Tobe took the pocket tissue he had bought during his trip and gave it to Yumiko. "Here."
"...thanks."
Yumiko obediently accepted his gesture of kindness as she wiped the tears that leaked slightly from her eyes.
Still, from the outside, their position was quite weird as they appeared quite close, leaning against the window as they stood next to each other, watching the outside.
Yet, from their conversation, Yumiko also understood that if one didn't give the other a chance to get closer, then everything she did was aningless.
A chance and an interest.
Maaya was interested in Tobe, that everything could be so smooth, yet if one didn't, how?
"...why did that girl have an interest in you?"
"Because I am handso."
"...." Yumiko.
She wanted to snort, saying that this guy was narcissistic, but she also had to admit that Tobe was handso, especially when he had changed and beco more mature and calm.
The original Tobe was handso, but the original him was noisy, which made him appear childish and clown-like.
However, as he beca Tobe, it was impossible for him to be like the previous Tobe, becoming that clown to festive the mood of the group. This type of person might be easy to join a group, but this was also the person who was the least attractive in the eyes of the girls, as they appeared childish.
As for what kind of man a woman sought the most, while everyone's type was different, most of the ti, they loved the one who was calm and collected, one who they could rely on, lead, and protect them.
Tobe had beco such a man, and his silent confidence was attractive, and she also understood why Maaya could be so cozy and smooth with Tobe despite only knowing each other for a day.
"But you are also beautiful, Yumiko. I am not sure what is on the head of the guy who fell for you, for not giving you a chance."
This girl's personality might be quite shitty, but she was beautiful regardless.
Still, Yumiko wasn't suitable for anything serious, but for fun, it was all good.
"..."
Yumiko wasn't sure, but she felt like sumr should be near, as her face was so hot that she couldn't look at him straight.
"Do you feel better now?"
"...are you trying to comfort ?"
"Do you think I will mock you after that?"
"Will you?"
"I am not so cruel." Tobe shook his head softly as he wondered what kind of person this girl thought he was. "We might be in the one group because of Hayato, and you are also quite annoying, but I thought of you as a friend."
"The annoying part is unnecessary, right?"
"Oh, right, I shouldn't say it and just keep it in my heart."
"You bastard!"
Once again, she got angry, yet sohow, her face was filled with a laugh as he annoyed her.
Regardless, many were surprised to see them so close like this, but sohow, it was hard to talk, especially when Yumiko's position in this class was like that of an empress, so most of them, who ca to the class, only glanced at them curiously before looking away as they were afraid of being noticed.
Still, as they couldn't control their curiosity, so of them tried to observe them secretly, including Hikigaya Hachiman, the MC of this world, before he quickly lowered his head in fear and nervousness when Yumiko glared at everyone.
Watching their reaction, Yumiko snorted, thinking that they were all different from Tobe, who could et her eyes confidently without lowering his eyes.
"By the way, I have so questions that I am troubled with. Help ."
"...aren't we in a competition for a bet? Why did you keep asking for my help?"
"Don't be stingy!"
Sighing, Tobe asked, "I don't mind teaching you, but treat to sothing."
"What do you want? I will treat you."
"How generous. Then, I will take the offer later."
"Don't be too expensive! My money is hard-working money that I got from working part-ti."
"Oh, did you work a part-ti job?"
"What? Do you think I can't do a part-ti job?"
"No, I am just curious."
Sohow, the two continued to talk until everyone within their group had arrived, but their group mbers were also surprised when they saw how Yumiko and Tobe talked so naturally.
Yet, it was fine, they thought, since this way their group was as nice as ever, and they could have their everyday life without worry.
Still, on the break, everyone was startled since—
"Tobe-kun, are you here?"
At the entrance of his class, Yukinoshita was there.
