I really don't want to have a girlfriend.

"..."

As soon as the words were spoken, the classroom fell into a deathly silence.

Under the spotlight of everyone's gaze, Yuu Tenkuji couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly.

Because he was busy complaining in his mind, he didn't react immediately.

"...You're really something, System."

There really are three unlucky divination slips to choose from. No matter what, they don't want me to have an easy time, do they?

Of all people to choose, he had to pick this transfer student who seemed to have a penchant for vacuums and kept giving him that mysterious smile...

The summer river is so cool.

Yui Yuigahama, sitting at the back of the classroom, unconsciously dropped her schoolbag to the ground.

"The mission prompt has been updated."

Chapter Five: I was the one who met him first...

"Note: Agree to Natsukawa Masuzu's request and begin the next stage of the mission."

Is this all you're updating? Are you reminding me because you're afraid I'll object if I hear it?

Shifting his attention from the system to the girl at the door, for some reason, Yuuki Tenkuji preferred Yukino Yukinoshita to Masuzu Natsukawa at this moment.

He sensed trouble, and a strong one at that—but then again, a girl who becomes a target of the system must have a lot of trouble to deal with, right?

Yukinoshita Haruno has a twisted personality and problems with arranged marriages.

Asuna Yuuki's timid personality stems from issues with her mother.

Putting aside their appearances, they are all indeed troublesome and unique in their own way.

In other words, girls without any special characteristics are not even worthy of being the system's target.

The dog system that discriminates against ordinary girls is trash!

"I am Sky Temple. May I ask what business you have with me?"

After complaining about the system, without waiting for anyone else to call her name, Yuu Tenkuji stood up and asked in confusion.

"Oh, it's so good to see you still here. I was worried about what would happen if you went back first." She patted her chest reassuringly, revealing a bright and beautiful smile that made many of the boys still in the class stare in disbelief. "I have something I want to tell you. Could you please come with me for a moment?"

"Is it something that can't be said here?"

“Yes, if we’re talking about it here…” Gently touching the silver hair on her shoulder, Natsukawa Masuzu looked away shyly and said awkwardly, “I’m a little shy.”

"Woohoo woohoo woohoo—" Unintelligible cheers erupted in the class, mostly from boys, and some even knelt down in remorse.

Based on that one sentence alone, Class 2-F became restless in different directions after school.

Despite the surprised and inquiring gazes around him, Tenkuji Yu stared straight at Natsukawa Masuzu, not missing the fleeting sneer in her eyes.

...As expected, there was a trap.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and smiled unwaveringly, "In that case, let's go."

He then picked up his schoolbag and gestured for her to lead the way.

His quick agreement seemed to surprise Natsukawa Masuzu, but she quickly composed herself and replied happily in a gentle and elegant voice:

“Great! I’d like to find a secluded place to talk. I hope you don’t find it strange.”

"As long as I'm at school, that's fine. I also have to participate in club activities."

As she said this, Tenkuji Yu glanced back.

The silly little dumpling was standing there dumbfounded, staring at the two of them in disbelief; the moment their eyes met, it inexplicably looked away in a flustered manner, touching the dumpling on its head and pretending nothing was wrong.

It's too deliberate, even worse than Natsukawa Masaki's acting in front of me... I should say, as expected of her.

Yuu Tenkuji sighed inwardly, asked Masuzu Natsukawa to wait a moment, took out his phone and sent her a message, and only after doing this did he leave the classroom with her.

Once the two of them were outside, the students, who had been somewhat restrained, immediately became noisy, as if they had been released from their restraints.

Even though most of the students had left, the classroom was still as noisy and chaotic as a market.

"No way? Natsukawa Masuzu is actually going to be with that Tenkuji..."

"Could it be that there's something else they want to say?"

"Please, where's your emotional intelligence? That expression clearly said you were about to confess! Damn it, if I had performed on stage yesterday, maybe Natsukawa would have..."

"Goodness, you've eaten all the peaches in Japan, haven't you?"

"At this moment, how many people have experienced heartbreak... I am at least one of them."

"Brother, please accept my condolences. Goddesses are like that; they're unattainable for us ordinary people..."

Even so, I still hope that Youyou will not be tainted by anyone!

"???"

"A gay man is right next to me? There's something wrong with all of you in the Youyou fan club!"

"But then again, wasn't Tenkuji just rumored to be dating Yukinoshita this morning? And now Natsukawa-kun is actually confessing to me? That's just too much..."

"Whoa, I smell a battleground."

Many people stayed in their seats and talked animatedly, while others chased after the crowd, eager to see what the commotion was about.

Only Yui Yuigahama took out her phone, blinked her eyes which were a little dry from staring, and looked at the message on it.

"Go to the club and wait for me, I'll be right there."

It was so brief, with no ambiguous hints, just a regular notification message.

She felt reassured, pressed the screen against her chest, and let out a relaxed breath.

"It seems that Xiaoyou really isn't interested in her..."

Having confirmed this, Yui Yuigahama couldn't help but chuckle twice, her mood instantly brightening as she picked up her schoolbag and headed towards the club building through the back door.

As for asking her why she could tell from this message that Tenkuji Yuu wasn't interested in Natsukawa Masuzu...

This is an understanding that has been cultivated over the years. There's no reason why; you'll understand once you know!

"But poor Xiaoyou, she was in the limelight yesterday, and today she's caught up in the mess between Xiaoxue and Xia Chuan..."

As she strolled down the corridor, the girl with the bun hairstyle suddenly sighed, her soft cheeks puffing out slightly.

"I was the one who met him first, why didn't I get to..."

No one heard her complaints and resentment except herself.

△

It's like being on a Paris fashion runway.

Yuu Tenkuji walked through the bustling corridor, passing through a sea of ​​astonished and stunned gazes.

The resulting commotion was arguably even greater than it had been in the morning.

The reason is simple: he seems to be born with a spotlight, and the mixed-race beauty next to him has such charm.

With her smooth, lustrous silver hair and flawless, snow-white skin, her elfin beauty and stunning figure even surpassed that of Yukino Yukinoshita, who had normal black hair and a modest bust.

In particular, at this moment, she was walking side by side with Yuu Tenkuji, her pretty face flushed with shyness, clearly showing the appearance of a young girl in love.

Along the way, you could hear many heartbreaks after initial attraction.

"...Wouldn't it be better to take the less crowded route?"

Feeling unwell again, Yuu Tenkuji couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Natsukawa Masuzu apologized, "I'm sorry, I haven't been at this school for long, and this is the only road I know."

Are you sure you didn't do it on purpose?

"Of course not, why would I do that on purpose?" She blinked her azure eyes innocently, lowered her head, and sighed sadly. "Tenkuji-kun, I don't know what you've misunderstood about me... But I don't like being looked at like a monkey by everyone either."

"Yes, that's true."

“…” Natsukawa Masaki frowned briefly, then smiled again as if nothing had happened. “Don’t worry, we’ll be there soon.”

Chapter Six: Be My Boyfriend!

Indeed, very quickly, she led Tenkuji Yu away from the teaching building, turned left and right, and easily arrived at a secluded and quiet place near the grove, also shaking off the people who had come to watch the excitement.

Tenkuji Yu glanced at her with a subtle look in his eyes.

"Transfer student?"

"That's all I knew. It's been almost a month since I transferred schools."

Without a trace of guilt, Natsukawa Masaki calmly turned around to face him.

"Tenkuji-kun, this should be our first time chatting, right?"

Yuuki Tenkuji replied calmly, "If we don't count the two times we met in the corridor before, or the two times we bumped into each other in front of the special building yesterday, this is indeed the first time."

"You remember it so clearly." Natsukawa Masuzu smoothed her silvery-white hair, her smile generous yet slightly shy, revealing her undeniable charm. "That's what I like about you, Tenkuji-kun."

The moment the words fell, the wind blowing through the woods suddenly stopped, and silence enveloped the boy and girl who were looking at each other face to face.

"...So, you really came here to confess your feelings to me?"

Yuu Tenkuji spoke first, without showing any surprise.

"Yes, I think you, like everyone else, probably guessed it already." With a beaming smile, Natsukawa Masaki smoothly recited her lines, "I like you, be my boyfriend."

"What's the reason?"

"There's no reason to like someone... um, but I don't think you'd believe me anyway." Natsukawa Masuzu touched her moist, soft lips, tilting her head slightly and pouting thoughtfully, "Where should I begin?"

"Every time I greet you, every time you see my underwear, and every time you play the piano on stage... wow, there are so many reasons to like you~"

She turned her back shyly, looked up at the sky with its leisurely white clouds, and snorted softly, "Is this considered passing? Honestly, to make a girl say something like this, I didn't expect Tenkuji-kun to be so twisted!"

"I don't know if it's weird or not, but I definitely didn't see your underwear at the time."

Putting aside her affected performance, Yuu Tenkuji would never admit to something she didn't do.
