Tokyo: To reiterate, this is not a dating system.

The rain seemed to be getting heavier, pattering against the activity room windows and making a pleasant sound.

Genji Aoyama recalled his feelings this morning at the Sumida River.

"Miss Haruka, please come with me." He turned his gaze to Haruka Minatsuki.

He is not yet capable of providing psychological counseling, and the small activity room cannot accommodate two groups of people for counseling at the same time.

Haruka Minatsuki smiled and glanced at Yuko Asahi, then stood up from her seat and walked to Genji Aoyama's side.

"Remember to use an umbrella properly on rainy days."

She took out a handkerchief and wiped away the raindrops dripping from Genji Aoyama's hair.

"Thanks."

Genji Aoyama glanced at Yuko Asahi again; her long, dark hair was tied into a ponytail, revealing a small section of her fair skin at the nape of her neck.

Because her back was to him, Genji Aoyama couldn't see her expression at all.

"Wait a moment, I'll send a message."

As he said this, he took out his phone, tapped it a few times, and then turned off the screen.

A short, sharp vibration then echoed in the activity room, causing Yuko Asahi's shoulders to twitch.

"Alright, let's go."

Genji Aoyama opened the door to the activity room and went out.

Haruka Minatsuki glanced in the direction of Yuuko Asahi, then thoughtfully followed Genji Aoyama out of the activity room.

"Smack."

It was the sound of a door closing, and then the entire fifth floor fell silent again.

Normally, you can hear the students playing and laughing in the courtyard, but on rainy days, you can only hear the soft rustling of raindrops hitting the leaves.

Looking around, there wasn't a single person in sight in the entire corridor, but the sound of their footsteps was particularly clear.

"Where are you taking me, Genji-kun?"

Haruka Minatsuki looked at the spot where Genji Aoyama had stopped, which was the staircase in the middle of the building.

"At least find a quiet, secluded place."

With that, Genji Aoyama stepped onto the stairs leading to the rooftop.

Unlike in anime, the rooftops of high schools in island nations are generally not open to the public, and the doors to the rooftops are usually locked.

Rainwater from outside seeped through the door cracks into the stairwell platform, leaving a small puddle on the concrete floor.

"Let's do it here." Genji Aoyama walked onto the platform and looked at Haruka Minatsuki.

"This doesn't feel like a place for relationship counseling at all."

"Is Ms. Haruka really here for relationship counseling?" Genji Aoyama asked with a smile as he looked at Haruka Minatsuki.

Although there was a hint of disdain in her words, she still maintained the elegance of a young lady.

The school uniform that is ubiquitous at Baihe High School looked exceptionally good on her. The bow was neatly tied at the collar, her hands were folded in front of her, and a smile graced her beautiful face.

"Um?"

Haruka Minatsuki tilted her head and looked at him, seemingly puzzled. "Of course, why do you ask that, Genji-kun?"

"Never mind," Genji Aoyama smiled, recalling the words Saki Izumo had used when she consulted him, "Please state your problem."

"I have a friend—"

Genji Aoyama gave her a strange look but didn't say anything.

Haruka Minatsuki paused, her gaze fixed on Genji Aoyama's face: "He clearly has a girlfriend, yet he chooses to flirt with other girls and doesn't reject their advances. Please analyze his psychology."

"I hate philandering scumbags the most," Aoyama Genji replied immediately.

"I think so too, but I just can't bring myself to hate him." Haruka Minatsuki looked distressed. "If only I could make him break up with his girlfriend and get rid of that cheating cat."

Aoyama Genji's smile almost vanished first.

Just kidding.

Seemingly noticing the change in Genji Aoyama's facial expression, Haruka Minatsuki's face regained its composed smile: "I wish I could always have him by my side, looking at me every day."

"..."

Genji Aoyama read a sense of terror in her smile.

"But he doesn't seem to like this, what should I do?"

Haruka Minatsuki seemed to be talking to herself, and the expression on her face made her look like a little girl who was troubled by love.

Genji Aoyama noticed that there was more water flowing from the rooftop into the stairwell platform inside the building, and he could even see small streams of water flowing and forming small puddles on the platform.

The rain seemed to be getting heavier, to the point where you could see a torrential downpour as soon as you opened the door.

Genji Aoyama paused briefly to think, and even when he finally spoke, he was still hesitant:

"I understand. I will give Ms. Haruka a reply later. Of course, I am referring to relationship counseling, and the reply I give is only for reference."

"Is that so? Well, I'll look forward to it then."

Haruka Minatsuki smiled and said, "Let's let him go until we find a better solution."

Unbeknownst to them, the area of ​​water accumulation grew larger and larger, even spreading to the feet of Aoyama Genji.

He began to regret going for a run in the morning.

His sneakers got wet from the rain and he hung them out to dry by the window, but if it keeps raining, he doesn't know when they'll dry.

"Let's go back," said Genji Aoyama.

The two parted ways at the top of the stairs. Haruka Minatsuki said she had something to do and went down the stairs, while he stayed on the fifth floor.

Besides Yuko Asahi, Genji Aoyama also needs to explain things to Saki Izumo.

She didn't show anything in the activity room at the time, but her mood indicator kept showing displeasure, which clearly meant she had a little problem with him.

Considering that it wouldn't be appropriate to go over there now, Genji Aoyama simply stood at the top of the stairs and started scrolling through his phone.

He only put his phone away when he heard footsteps in the hallway.

Tap tap tap—the footsteps were quick yet light, probably those of Asahi Yuko.

The counseling session ended faster than he expected.

The voice drew closer until Yuko Asahi walked past him.

But Yuko Asahi didn't notice him at all, and her pace even quickened, as if she were jogging towards the restroom on the other side.

Genji Aoyama followed her into the restroom.

But please don't misunderstand, there's one thing Aoyama Genji must clarify—he is not a pervert.

He noticed, however, that as Asahi Yuko walked over, she was holding her phone to her ear, seemingly on a call.

Speaking of which...

It was a Tuesday, a rainy day, and I went back to school in the rain. I also ran into Yuko Asahi, who was acting strangely.

Then, around the same time, I received a phone call—

Aoyama Genji happened to see Asahi Yuko's phone and glanced at it briefly because he was somewhat interested in it.

Yuko Asahi's LINE and contacts only contain Genji Aoyama's contact information.

In addition, there was an unknown number with multiple call records, the most recent of which was shortly before Genji Aoyama called her.

Aoyama Genji suddenly realized that he was very similar to Minatsuki Haruka, though this might also be due to his arrogant self-righteousness—something he had reflected on.

If there's something he cares about, he's unwilling, or perhaps doesn't want to, to ask directly. He prefers others to voluntarily reveal it, or for him to find out for himself, rather than asking directly.

This is the conclusion that Genji Aoyama reached at the entrance of the women's restroom.

Fortunately, the fifth floor of the special building is usually not crowded, so he felt no guilt at all standing at the entrance of the women's restroom.

However, you can't hear any sound coming from inside the women's restroom just by standing at the entrance.

So he opened his contacts, clicked on the number he had written down that night, and dialed it back.

Then.

A very gentle and polite female mechanical voice reminded him: "You are currently on another call, please try again later."

Genji Aoyama glanced at the women's restroom and decided to make a once-in-a-lifetime choice.

He wanted to sneak in and take a look.

Let me reiterate, Genji Aoyama is not a pervert!
