It's a romantic comedy for everyone, so why am I the only one single?

Should I refuse? Or should I refuse? Or should I refuse?

My throat suddenly felt inexplicably dry.

Iura Hide swallowed with difficulty, stubbornly refusing to be a sycophant, and tried his best to remain rational and calm, asking dryly, "Then why do you still work at the convenience store? It seems that the salary here is not much higher than your other job, right?"

"Because I like you, senior~"

Whether it was an impulse or a long-planned move, Kitagawa Kaimu boldly pressed herself against him at that moment.

Even with the large, soft space between them, there was only a mere ten centimeters between their noses.

Warm, sweet breath landed on Iura Hide's lips. In that moment, all reason and composure exploded along with his mind.

Even my heart, which was teetering on the brink of exploding, seemed to stop beating all of a sudden.

Forget about being a simp or not, the fact that Iura Hide didn't just go for it and instead bit those cherry blossom-pink and moist lips shows how incredibly strong his willpower is!

He even felt he should change his name to Liu Xiahui!

"How about I call my light novel pen name Liu Xiahui?"

This sudden, bizarre thought finally restored some of the processing power to Iura Hide's malfunctioning brain.

Iura Hide, resisting the immense temptation, tried to avert his gaze from Kitagawa Kaimu and said with a dry laugh, "Don't, don't joke around. You'd be better off spending this time checking and organizing the shelves you're in charge of."

""

Kitagawa Kaimu was not happy about this.

Although she hid it well on the surface, in reality, she was just as nervous and shy as Iura Hide.

My head was practically steaming!

However, with her rich theoretical knowledge and experience, she knew that the more difficult the situation, the less she should back down. So she persevered and brought her delicate face closer, smiling as she met Iura Hide's gaze again.

"Oh dear! Are you angry?"

"No," Iura Hideaki was about to say.

But before he could speak, Kitagawa Kaimu said again, "I'm sorry, I'll get my section of shelves organized as soon as possible, but I wasn't joking just now—"

Her long, delicate eyelashes, like two small fans, trembled gently in sync with her heartbeat, but Kitagawa Kaimu's voice was more resolute than ever before.

I really like you, senior!

"boom!"

Whether it was an arrow, a heavy hammer, or something else, Iura Hide felt as if his heart had been struck by a heavy blow, and even breathing became extremely difficult.

To be honest, at that moment, he was genuinely tempted.

No, not just "some," I'm extremely tempted! Absolutely tempted!

But if this world truly encompasses the complete world of changing dolls, then wouldn't it also contain the male protagonist, Gojo Shinna, from the original story, who made Kitagawa Kaimu fall in love?

Without any special abilities or exceptionally handsome looks, can he, who could rely entirely on his appearance, outperform the male lead, Shinji Gojo?

However, if it is not exactly the same as the original.

that

According to the memories he inherited and integrated

Kitagawa Kaimu is very close to many guys who dress like male escorts.

This sudden thought was like a bucket of ice water poured over him from head to toe, instantly extinguishing most of the fire in his heart.

"Stop joking, okay? I heard you're hanging out with several guys at the same time."

Iura Hide didn't know what he was feeling when he said those words, and he even regretted it as soon as he finished speaking.

However, being cuckolded is something he finds even more unacceptable than being a simp, and he will absolutely not compromise on that.

Even if Kitagawa Kaimu is disappointed, hurt, and walks away, never to be friends with him again.

Thinking of this, Iura Hide's heart couldn't help but clench, and a bitter feeling made him subconsciously clench his fists with all his might.

However, Kitagawa Kaimu's subsequent response was not in any of his plans.

"But I'm still a CN!"

"Aha?"

Iura Hide almost choked on his own saliva, his eyes widening involuntarily, just like the intelligent gaze of a husky at 40 degrees Celsius.

Kitagawa Kaimu couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Then, tilting her head playfully, she said, "Does my senior think I'm the kind of girl who'll sleep with any guy as long as he pays?"

"No, no! That's not what I meant!" Iura Hide quickly came to his senses and waved his hand.

Even in a world that isn't exactly the same as the original, he didn't think Kitagawa Kaimu was the kind of 'girl who only dates'; at most, she just had a boyfriend.

Looking at the panic and anxiety in his eyes, Kitagawa Kaimu felt a sweet sensation in her heart, as if she had taken a big bite of cream cake.

“I do have a few male friends, but none of them are that kind of relationship,” Kitagawa Haimu explained earnestly. However, she immediately changed the subject, stood on tiptoe, and brought her cherry lips close to Iura Shu’s ear.

"But if it's a senior, I'd be happy to sleep with them~"

After saying that, Kitagawa Kaimu, like a little witch who had successfully pulled off a prank, turned around and ran away quickly.

Left standing there, only Iura Hide, whose heart was pounding with excitement, looked bewildered and at a loss.

"So what's going on now?"

Was she really confessing her feelings just now, or was she joking?

If this is a confession, does that mean I've said yes?

I don't understand, I really don't understand.

What had just happened was completely beyond his limited theoretical knowledge, leaving him utterly clueless about the situation, let alone how to handle it.

However, what he didn't know was that Kitagawa Kaimu, who had run into the staff break room, was also leaning against the door of the break room with a flushed face, feeling dizzy and not knowing what to do.

Although everything she just did seemed incredibly bold.

But in reality, she ultimately backed down.

Or perhaps it can't be called a retreat.

Although she hadn't seen any disgust or contempt in Iura Hide's eyes, she could tell that Iura Hide actually had feelings for her, even being attracted to her.

But she also saw Iura Hide's inner conflict, and realized that Iura Hide wasn't really ready to make a decision.

She didn't want to force Iura Hide to agree to date her.

The past cannot be changed, but she will do her best to resolve the knot in Iura Hide's heart, so that Iura Hide will truly fall in love with her and decide to be with her!

"Go for it, Kitagawa Kaimu! You're the best!"

"And Shizuku-chan! Please bless me!"

Kitagawa Kaimu hugged the Shizuku Kuroe keychain on her schoolbag, rubbing it with a blush on her face.

Meanwhile, back at the cashier, Iura Hide was still thinking about Kitagawa Kaimu.

What exactly is Kitagawa Kaimu's relationship with those boys?

"Tony the hairstylist? Or a like-minded friend?"

"Does Gojo Shinna even exist? If she does, Kitagawa Kaimu likes her so much, but she's not good at making clothes herself. Sooner or later, she'll still get involved with Gojo Shinna, who's good at tailoring, right?"

"Ugh, this is so annoying!"

Why don't Kaimu Kitagawa and I go to the same school?!

"How about we ask around at Toyosaki High School?"

For Hideaki Iura, those few "hosts" and "thugs" who seemed to have close relationships with Kaimu Kitagawa were nothing; the most important thing was Shinna Gojo.

She's a gyaru (a Japanese term for a hot girl), and she also loves hardcore fan service anime. In the original series, Kitagawa Kaimu's interactions with Gojo Shinna were incredibly erotic!

I never thought there was anything wrong with it when I watched anime before.

Just laugh it off, feel a little envious of the male lead, and it'll be over.

But now, whenever he thinks of those fan service scenes in anime, he always feels like he's been cheated on.

That's what's bothering him.

Contrary to what Kitagawa Kaimu had imagined, the difficulty in resolving the situation was far greater.

"Ugh, this is so annoying!"

Iura Hide scratched his head vigorously, feeling a surge of irritation.

Especially when he looked at his own shiny green hair, he became even more annoyed.

But just then, a cold, emotionless voice suddenly interrupted his reverie.

"Arnold—"

"Excuse me, what size is this plus-size C shirt?"

Please recommend, please keep reading, please vote with monthly tickets~~~~ *sobs*

Chapter 10 What's in my hand

"Aha?"

"Fat C?!"

"size?!"

Startled from his reverie, Iura Hide looked at the white, chubby C-shaped shirt with a cute brown bear pattern that had appeared before him without him noticing, and instinctively gasped.

Although he is indeed a shop employee, is it really okay to ask a guy this kind of question?

Most girls, even if faced with this kind of question, would at most just secretly compare them, right?

Iura Hide was stunned for several seconds before finally shifting his gaze to the girl in front of the cashier.

Her long, light blonde hair, slightly lighter than Kitagawa Kaimu's, hung loosely and messily over her shoulders. Upon closer inspection, one could see some dryness and split ends, indicating that it hadn't been properly groomed for several days.
