Redo of a Romanceless Author’s Life Devoid of Love; Another Chance at Youth Chapter 322

Chapter 322. Troubling Developnts: An Obnoxious Group of Custors. (3/4)

“This convenience store loser? You shouldn’t make up random lies just because you’re embarrassed about how la your boyfriend is.” The girl waved her hand dismissively toward Yuna’s claims.

“It’s not a lie.”

“Oh? If it’s not a lie, why don’t we let your boyfriend prove himself? Hey~ why don’t you expose Yuna’s boyfriend? You’ll look like super cool if you do~” She asked the guy she’d clung to in a cutesy fashion as she looked at him with upturned eyes.

The guy awkwardly scratched the side of his head, sowhat reluctant, as he shot a slightly apologetic look. It seems even though he felt bad about going through with her suggestion, he didn’t want to miss out on the chance.

“Well, would you like to solve so electromagnetics problems with Maxwell’s partial differential equations in Cartesian, polar, or spherical coordinates to prove it?”

“Huh? Partial what?” The first guy asked cluelessly.

“Oh… uh… sorry. Forget I said that. How about solving so circuits with nodal or sh analysis using matrix equations?”

“Nodal... or sh analysis with matrices?” The second guy repeated just as clueless as the first. I guess there was no point even ntioning inverse matrices.

“Uh… if you don’t know what either of those thods are yet, I guess we could go with so... nurical analysis thods,” I suggested hesitantly.

They still seed confused.

“So... you haven’t been taught those yet either. Hmm… how problematic. Done any convolution?”

“Convo what?”

“Surely modulation then, right?”

“You an like 5 mod 2 being 1?”

“That’s modulo, not modulation…”

“Oh.”

“How about Taylor or Fourier series?”

They shook their heads.

“Fourier transforms… Laplace trans- no? Z tran-”

“...”

“Please tell you’ve at least heard of the term impedance.”

“...” Silence. Dead silence. I felt uncomfortable.

“Hey… what exactly have you guys learned for circuit analysis thods in U1? Surely you at the very least know Kirchhoff's voltage and current laws. Though that’s still so third-year high school physics shit. You should also know so basic algebra, stuff with geotric and arithtic series in addition to basic calculus using derivatives and integrals by now as well, right?”

“Yeah… we… learned about that stuff in our first year.”

“Haaaaah. I see. Man, huh, I forgot how dogshit U1 was. Sorry, I was only pretending to know what I was talking about just now and threw out a bunch of random terms.” I averted my eyes to the side awkwardly when I said that. I wasn’t about to solve circuits with tedious caven analysis thods from the Stone Age when I was aware of all the easier low effort thods that existed.

“Pretending my ass! What the hell are all those things you ntioned? Actually, what year are you in?”

“Sorry, I’m not actually in university. Please forget everything I said.” I squinted my eyes with a constipated expression.

“What? Did you already graduate?”

“No comnt.”

“Hey~ this is like totes boring~ like really, what’s with all those boring-sounding terms he keeps blabbering on about? Surely you guys at least know sothing interesting after a year of uni when you’re going to beco engineers, right?”

They don’t. Literally, U1 was all just the bare minimum basics and fundantals you needed to know. You only learned anything remotely interesting after that. Though a lot of the things you were taught, despite being interesting, were never actually used in practice since computers existed with specialized software to simulate everything and do most of the work for you even if you weren’t good at solving all those equations by hand.

“Useless…” she grumbled to herself quietly, displeased by the two guys who both revealed helpless expressions.

“Hey~ if you were ranking the girls here, would you rank Yuna as being the least desirable?” Since she couldn’t do anything about , she took aim at Yuna again.

“Isn’t it obvious? She can’t compare to the four of you.”

“Right? Right? So Mr. Boyfriend, what do you think?”

She leaned forward over the counter and emphasized her bust by squeezing it together between her arms. She had on a white blouse with a slack V neckline so her cleavage was on full display.

I scoffed, “Heh. You say she can’t compare? But if we take a look at the numbers, it takes two of you to get one guy, right? But Yuna alone was enough to get a guy by herself. Wouldn’t that an she’s overall worth more compared to the four of you individually?”

“Hahaha, but there’s a difference, don’t you think? If the guys are substantially better in quality compared to the guy Yuna got, then we’re naturally the better pick.”

“Well, if telling yourself that lets you sleep at night, feel free to keep thinking that.”

“You’re a very unpleasant guy.” She smiled scarily when she said that.

“Why thank you, I do my best.”

“Shouldn’t you be doing your job rather than hugging your girlfriend at work?”

“Yes, I should.” I released Yuna from behind and moved a short distance away from Yuna closer to the second register.

Rather than hand Yuna the snacks she’d picked up, the girl sidestepped over to my register pulling the guy beside her along to pay as she slid her items over the counter to .

“Why’re you giving your stuff? Give it to Yuna.”

“No way, you can’t leave all the work to Yuna.”

Yuna started to cash out the other stuff the second guy was paying for the two girls hugging his arms.

Yuna lightly elbowed in the stomach when she noticed I was slacking off. It was clear she didn’t want to deal with the girl I presud to be the leader of this little circle of friends.

“Haaaaah.” With a sigh, I picked up her items and started scanning them. When I finished scanning all the items the girl suddenly picked up sothing else that caught her eye.

“Hey~ I also want to get one of these. Cash this too.”

It was a red pack of gum. The Rosa faction gum.

“Right.”

She didn’t slide it over the counter like before. Instead, she held it out to over the counter between her index finger and thumb.

I stuck out my palm from below for her to place it in my hand, but right before my hand was in position, she dropped it a bit too early.

“Ah.” She let out a small sound as she moved both her hands quickly to catch it, but she ended up grabbing both my hand and the gum together.

“Sorry, I’m a total butterfingers.”

I frowned and hurriedly pulled my hand away from her along with the pack of gum.

“What? You look pretty dissatisfied despite getting the lucky chance to have your hand held by a pretty girl.”

There was sothing else in my hand beneath the gum that she slipped in when she grabbed it just now. It felt like there was a piece of paper between my palm and the pack of gum.

I scanned the gum and tossed it in the bag with the other snacks then stuffed the hand with the paper in it inside my pocket while I pressed a few buttons on the register with my other hand.

The guy swiped his card and I handed the bag over to the girl. When our eyes t she winked at flirtatiously from an angle only I could see.

What the hell is she trying to do exactly? Because she’s under the impression I’m Yuna’s boyfriend, is she trying to get to cheat or sothing? What a rotten woman. Even without looking at the piece of paper she gave , judging by her wink, I could more or less guess what’s written on it.

This chick was absolutely no good. If I was so naive kid who’d never had a girlfriend before, I’d probably jump at the chance. She was definitely the type of girl that would squeeze you dry for all your money then toss you to the curb. If I seriously contacted her and t up alone with this type of girl, I wouldn’t be surprised if she lured into so sort of trap to extort as much money out of as she could.

Does she seriously think I’m an idiot? These types of girls were the lowest of the low. If you got ensnared in their trap, you might wake up to find a cara on you surrounded by a bunch of scary guys. You either pay up or they ruin your life and beat you until you’re black and blue.

Yuna had to be around this type of girl for a year? I was amazed she’d kept her act together.

“Yuna~ we’ll see you around. Now that we’ve got our snacks, let’s go check out that movie~”
