I really don't want to have a girlfriend.

"Could the 'she' mentioned in the notebook be that girl...? She doesn't seem that ruthless."

Could she be a hidden yandere? Did she see him being intimate with other girls on the day of the school festival, and in a fit of anger, she stabbed him in the chest with a knife?

With this in mind, she took out a black notebook from her bag and began to review the contents of last night.

As before, the prophecy that Yuu Tenkuji would soon have his heart pierced by a certain woman was still written in black and white on the paper.

With a slight frown and a click of her tongue, Kasumigaoka Utaha put away her binoculars and notebook, and left with the bread.

Her full, straight, black-stockinged legs stomped hard on the floor, leaving behind only her indignant complaints.

"It's so annoying! Why should I get dragged into his relationship troubles? I only followed him once, and I didn't even say a word to him..."

"I just want to be a storyteller, not a character in a story!"

"I can't tell him about the future, but how can I prevent him from getting stabbed in the back... Ugh, ugh! I'm just a romance novelist, I've never written anything like this before!"

……

They had no idea that someone was spying on them from so far away with binoculars.

As the bell rang, Yuu Tenkuji returned to the classroom and was quickly met with Yui Yuigahama's eager gaze from the seat diagonally behind him.

'Tell me everything you've done later!'

Yuu Tenkuji nodded, agreeing very readily.

After all, after the kiss in the Service Club, he had told Yukino Yukinoshita that he would tell Yui what they had done together.

Although somewhat shy, Yukino, who considered herself a "latecomer," had no intention of hiding anything from her girlfriend, Yui.

If she were asked about it, she would definitely tell the whole story honestly.

The class ended quickly, and Yuu Tenkuji was pulled to a deserted corner by Yui Yuigahama—every school building must have such places where no one ever goes by for some reason. It was also here that Masuzu Natsukawa had her formal confrontation with Yui Yuigahama last time.

Staring silently into the big, watery eyes of the girl with the bun hairstyle, Yuu Tenkuji, who had just regained his footing, went straight to the point and told everyone what had happened after he joined the Service Club.

They fed each other, drank tea and spaced out, kissed as the atmosphere deepened, had their hands pulled away in the hallway, and were forcibly kissed again in the stairwell...

Yui Yuigahama didn't interrupt, and quietly listened to him finish his afternoon story before letting out a sigh of inexplicable emotion.

"So Xiaoxue is just like me, she likes to forcefully kiss Xiaoyou..."

Yuu Tenkuji was immediately bewildered: "Wait, explain what 'like' means! Once is one thing, but you want to do it again? Are you all kissing maniacs?!"

Stared at by him with a reproachful look, Yui Yuigahama blushed with embarrassment and leaned against the wall, her eyes darting around.

"Haha, I misspoke, it wasn't liking... but there's a sense of accomplishment, or rather, a sense of conquest, in forcibly kissing Xiaoyou, right? Anyway, that's it, don't worry about it too much..."

"How could I not care? Did all my girlfriends have the potential to be sadists...?"

"Oh, fine, I'll just let you kiss me back!" She pouted as if in resignation, closed her eyes, tilted her face up, her cheeks flushed with excitement, and you could even vaguely see a hint of anticipation.

"We made a promise before, didn't we? You absolutely mustn't forget what you and Xiaoxue did for me!"

This is the rule that girlfriends must be in pairs.

Even if the person sharing your boyfriend is your best friend, you can't compromise on this.

"...I understand." After confirming that no one was around, Tenkuji Yu sighed silently, his expression turning serious, and he lowered his head to kiss her.

The moment their lips touched, the girl wrapped her arms around his back, stood on tiptoe, and responded with boundless passion.

Like fingers chilled in winter, yearning for more warmth and caress.

Bounty settled!

Alright everyone, now it's time for our most anticipated part: the conclusion – "Just how badly does the author's liver have to break down?"

This time, everyone's participation in the bounty is incredibly enthusiastic, completely different from last month! Seeing the bounty numbers keep rising, I, the author, can't help but laugh with joy, waa ...

...Honestly, I want to strangle myself from last week.

Why halve the bounty threshold? Why say ten chapters for a silver treasure chest? Wouldn't that double the reward?

Silly child, you've underestimated the power of readers...

△

Now that I've finished crying, let's get back to the main topic.

The current data changes are—

Monthly votes: 10197 → 10646 (449, plus two more chapters)

Blade: 6302→6854 (552, plus six more updates)

Donations: 64.4 → 107.63

Monthly tickets and razor blades are fine, but tipping is more complicated.

First, let's deduct my 16 from the treasure chest, so the actual reward amount is 91.63.

Next, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Moye Dumeng for the three silver treasure chests, and to 74751 for Chenkui for the one silver treasure chest.

After removing the 200,000, we are left with 716,300.

71.63 - 64.4 = 7.23.

That is, the seventh watch.

That makes fifteen chapters in total!

If you include the treasure chests, this is chapter 55!

...This is the consequence of digging one's own grave, resulting in a debt four times greater.

If I didn't open the treasure chest bounty, I would only have to pay back 35 chapters at most... wait, that seems like quite a lot?

△

However, it should be noted that the author does not receive money for the "Universal Celebration" event, so authors generally do not include such treasure chests in their bounties.

I'm different. I keep my word. Even if I don't make any money from ten of them, I will still take responsibility for my carelessness and promises!

It's only 55 chapters! I'll finish it before the story ends!

Not only the two who gave the reward chests, but also the lovely readers who gave rewards to this book, including Sakura Flying Snow, Yi Yi, Admiral Yakumo Yukari, and others, as well as the readers who voted with monthly tickets, swords, and daily recommendations, I am very grateful for your support!

It is because of your companionship and your clear support that this book has come this far and continues to move toward the two million word mark!

Of course, everyone who leaves comments and posts every day (excluding those who criticize me) is also the foundation for this book to continue existing.

"I Really Don't Want to Have a Girlfriend" is definitely not a work that the author could have completed on his own!

Thank you all for your continued support. See you again in the future!

Chapter 137 The Final Cry

After school in the afternoon, I went to the Service Department to finish filming the remaining video clips and check if there were any areas that needed additional filming.

Because the video was short, and with the guidance of Yu Tenkuji and the excellent acting of all the main actors, they basically finished this short film, which was originally intended to quell the controversy but ended up being a simple enjoyment of acting, five days before the opening of the cultural festival.

Next, all that's left is editing, adding subtitles, and other post-production work that Yuu Tenkuji is responsible for.

"Senior, does this mean filming is finished?"

After packing up her photography equipment, Isshiki Iroha winked at Tenkuji Yuu, a sly glint flashing in her eyes.

The girl's sweet voice was like it was coated with honey, full of an irresistible allure that could melt your bones.

"I've heard that after filming a movie, those big directors treat the whole crew to a lavish meal~ Senbei, Senbei, you won't lose to those old geezers, will you?"

"What kind of reverse psychology are you using? I didn't say I wasn't taking you guys." Yuu Tenkuji rubbed the goosebumps on his arms and curled his lip in slight disgust. "Family restaurant or my house, choose one."

"Huh? Why are there only these two options~" Iroha Isshiki pouted, looking pitiful. "I want to go to Ginza to eat sushi..."

Tenkuji Yu flicked her forehead, saying irritably, "I don't mean to be rude, but right now you're like a newly hired hostess, trying to use your clumsy skills to seduce a rich guy into taking you out for a fancy meal."

Then, she was tricked into getting drunk and going to a hotel. When she woke up, she found herself penniless and cheated out of her money, with all sorts of photos left behind. From then on, she became his plaything. But she discovered that he wasn't as bad as she had imagined, and he never caused her pain or sadness. On the contrary, he always did his best to bring her pleasure in bed. So, without realizing it, she developed Stockholm syndrome and fell in love with that domineering CEO...

In just a few seconds, Tenkuji Yu had already come up with a female-oriented novel of several hundred thousand words, but he was too lazy to tell her.

"Senior, you've been incredibly rude... and inexplicably so.

Her eyes instantly turned cold. After glaring at him resentfully, Iroha Isshiki turned her head away with a snort, sighing as if she couldn't do anything about him, "I was just saying. Whether it's a family restaurant or your homemade food, I can accept it."

"I wouldn't dare force the cute and obedient Aya-chan. If you don't want to go, you don't have to." Yuuto Tenkuji ignored her and turned to Yukino and Yui, asking, "What about you two? What are your thoughts?"

"I'm fine with anything!" Yui Yuigahama raised her hand in response, then took her phone to a corner. "I'm going to tell my mom that I'm having dinner with friends today and will be home late..."

“I don’t mind, since I live alone, I have more freedom in this regard…” After hesitating for a moment, Yukino Yukinoshita suggested softly, “However, let’s eat at your place, otherwise Sora will have to eat takeout alone again.”

"What a coincidence, I was thinking the same thing." Tenkuuji Yu smiled and nodded at her, conveying a message through her eyes:

"She's already thinking of her sister-in-law even before she's married into the family; she's so virtuous."

After a slight pause, Yukino put on a serious face as if she didn't want to talk to him, but she still couldn't help but smile.

"Stop fooling around, someone's watching."

She simply gave him a dismissive glance before turning around and packing her schoolbag.

Keeping his girlfriend's adorable and coquettish expression in his heart, Tenkuji Yuu then turned to look at Tachibana Kanade, who was sitting quietly in a chair.

"how?"

His back was straight as a sculpture, and his pale golden eyes gazed at him quietly without blinking.

"Is there?"

"of course."

"Then let's go."

Then he silently took out his phone and called his parents.

Yui Yuigahama, who had just returned after informing her family, stared at the scene in disbelief, her mouth agape. "What are they saying? Is it some kind of coded communication?" she murmured in bewilderment.

"It's just a normal conversation, a super-short version."

Isshiki Iroha's lips twitched slightly. She ruffled Tachibana Kanade's soft hair several times with a speechless expression before weakly explaining, "Do you want to come along? Do you have Mapo Tofu? Of course, I'll go... That's roughly how it goes."

With the phone pressed against his ear, Tachibana Kanade nodded obediently, a faint hint of happiness showing on his otherwise expressionless face.
