I really don't want to have a girlfriend.

Secondly, Yuu Tenkuji doesn't value his first kiss or first time. The reason he hasn't revealed it is simply because he hasn't met a girl who interests him.

Qiong is her younger sister, so she can't be counted.

Thirdly, and most importantly.

He was very displeased by Yukino's confident and self-assured expression.

Like a mischievous child who throws stones at a shopkeeper, knowing the shopkeeper won't attack the customer, and then seizes the opportunity to act recklessly.

"...Then be prepared."

Tenkuji Yu stretched his limbs, adopted a serious expression, narrowed his eyes like sharp blades, and stared straight ahead.

"When we kiss later, whoever gets shy first loses."

"She actually agreed..." Yukino Yukinoshita muttered, but the smile on her face didn't disappear at all. Instead, she nodded even more happily and contentedly.

"Good! Very manly! So whoever gets shy first has to do whatever the other says. If Xiaoyouyou doesn't get the first kiss, you lose, okay?"

Tenkuji Yu glanced at her meaningfully: "Just what I wanted."

A sly glint flashed in her eyes as she twirled the ends of her hair with her fingers, looking on with a lighthearted anticipation as she awaited the start of the event.

Soon, ten watermelons were placed on the stage, and all the contestants took their positions at the starting point. The boyfriends all put their hands behind their girlfriends' butts, ready to pick them up and spin them around the moment the host gave the order.

Those who were thin were alright, but the ones whose girlfriends were overweight all had expressions of resignation on their faces. Their bodies were trembling slightly, but they were being watched kindly by their girlfriends, so they could only show their masculinity.

I hope they're alright.

"Oh, right, Haruno-san." Tenkuji Yu suddenly remembered something.

How much do you weigh?

"..."

Yukinoshita's expression froze for a moment, then she slowly turned her head and looked at him with a kind smile.

"If you find out, you probably won't live to see tomorrow. So, do you want to know? If you do, I'll tell you this girl's biggest secret."

Yuu Tenkuji almost answered, "Isn't it old age?", but he still had his basic survival instincts and quietly started doing warm-up exercises, looking away from the camera.

"Then... let's begin!"

Although he wasn't very skilled, with Yukino's help, Yuuto still managed to pick her up in a princess carry.

"If you show even a hint of discomfort... your girlfriend will get angry, won't she?" she said with a grin, nestled in his arms and staring at his neck.

Tenkuji Yu took a deep breath, put on his acting skills, and said to her with a heartfelt expression, "Why are you so light? Have you not eaten? You need to take care of yourself, Haruno."

"That's enough, let's spin around." Yukinoshita Haruno reached out and poked his cheek, then, seeing Tenkuji Yu's helpless expression, wrapped her arms around his neck and said expectantly:

"Push harder, go faster, don't be afraid of throwing me off~ Turn around, little Yoyo!"

"Tsk, you talk too much!"

Gathering all his strength, Yuu Tenkuji carried the not-so-light Yukinoshita and spun her around five times.

Spinning around was relatively easy, after all, with Yukinoshita's "enthusiastic sponsorship," his physical fitness had been improved to some extent.

After placing the somewhat excited Yukino Yukinoshita on the ground, Tenkuji Yu quickly picked up his blindfold without even taking a deep breath.

Before putting it on, he observed the information about his surroundings—the distance between himself and the watermelon, how many steps he would need to take to stand in the best position, and how long the wooden stick handed to him by the staff was.

His sharp eyes took in everything before he slowly closed them and put on the blindfold.

Tenkuji Yu held his staff in both hands, steadied himself, and assumed the middle stance in Kendo. A current of electricity instantly surged from his hands throughout his body, as if the dark world had been illuminated. He became more acutely aware of the air currents, sounds, and spatial awareness around him.

Swordsmanship, expert level.

"Little Youyou, are you ready? If you're ready, then move forward~"

Tenkuji Yu nodded, following her instructions, and cautiously moved forward step by step, as if facing a serpent lurking in a dark cave.

Many eyes in the audience were unconsciously drawn to him, watching his gait as steady as a mountain, the unwavering tip of his staff, and his imposing and unyielding aura, and they began to whisper among themselves.

The host's eyes flashed, and he put down the microphone: "This guy is not simple."

Hearing this murmur, the staff couldn't help but lean forward and ask, "Senior, could you tell? Could it be that you also...?"

The host sighed, looking at the stage with a weary expression, and patted the young man next to him on the shoulder.

"He can draw such straight lines even with his eyes closed, and he looks like he could swing a stick and chop someone up at any moment. Anyone with eyes can tell he's not simple."

"..."

On the stage, Yuu Tenkuji judged from the distance he had previously memorized that he was only five meters away from the watermelon.

Just then, Yukinoshita Haruno's command came through again: "Yuyu, you're veering to the left! Move to the right."

"..."

With her swordsmanship skills combined with muscle control, Yuu Tenkuji did not lose her sense of direction even with her eyes closed. On the contrary, she was able to confirm through her keen senses that she was always moving straight ahead without veering off course even a centimeter.

But Yukino Yukinoshita says she's gone astray? Is there something wrong with her, or is there something wrong with me?

After thinking for a moment, Yuu Tenkuji smiled and, as she had instructed, tilted the object slightly to the right.

"That's right, a bit to the right... too far to the right, quickly adjust it back... left, even to the left, yes, that's it!"

Like a little girl completely absorbed in a game, she excitedly shouted to herself:

"The watermelon is right in front of you, swing it down with all your might!"

Blindfolded, Tenkuji Yuu raised the wooden stick high.

The next instant, he turned to the side and swung one hand behind him, the shadow of the staff falling like a sword.

*Thud!* The stick struck the watermelon behind him with a crisp sound, the tip resting firmly on the watermelon's dent.

Then, centered on that point, slowly, the watermelon split into two neat halves.

“OHHHHHHHHHH——”

A round of enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience. Tenkuji Yu held the stick in one hand and removed his blindfold with the other. Without looking at the watermelon or the audience, he looked at Yukinoshita Haruno on the starting line, raised his eyebrows, and chuckled.

He conveyed this through his eyes—

"That's it? You think you can outsmart me?"

Yukino's cheek twitched twice, but she smiled broadly.

"Then stick it out until the end and show it to me."

It was supposed to be a game with ten teams, but the two of them only had eyes for each other. Sparks flew in the air, and neither of them had any intention of backing down.

He did it to keep her from getting too arrogant, but she... probably did it for fun?

Yu Tenkuji returned the props to the staff, who then helped them scoop out the watermelon flesh and put it on a plate with forks and other tools nearby.

The other groups either missed hitting the watermelon or were running around aimlessly, so they are the only ones who have made it to the penultimate stage.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, they will likely secure this victory—so the competition is irrelevant to them; for them, their 'lover' is the only enemy.

Presumably to cater to both men and women, there was a noticeable difference in the amount of watermelon flesh on the two plates.

Tenkuji Yuukishino looked at Yukinoshita and smiled: "You didn't eat much for lunch, did you?"

As he spoke, he placed the missing plate in front of himself.

"Please, don't be shy."

"Hmm—" Yukino Yukinoshita looked him up and down and smiled meaningfully. She didn't say anything more and took the extra plate with a relaxed and happy expression.

"Let's divide it like this then, let's start eating!"

A strange feeling arose in her heart, but she put it aside for the time being and picked up her fork to eat quickly, bite by bite.

In his mind, Yukino Yukinoshita would definitely eat slowly and carefully in order to hold him back; so he had to finish his portion first before she could and then snatch hers.

From the very beginning, Yuu Tenkuji had planned to eat the entire watermelon by herself.

Unfortunately, the system didn't give him the skill of "rapid digestion," so he could only rely on his own strength, and he might even injure his stomach in the end.

Egg—No Kansai!

If it can make this unruly female college student feel a little more guilty and restrain herself a bit, then it's worth it as a price to pay for a mere bout of diarrhea!

Tenkuji Yu was ready. She lowered her head and quickly devoured the sweet fruit in front of her.

Many groups have already broken open the watermelon and are frantically devouring the flesh like monkeys that haven't eaten for days.

When Yuu Tenkuji had only a third of his food left, he turned to look at Yukino Yukinoshita's progress, but his movements paused and his eyes widened slightly.

Her plate of watermelon, which was quite large, was now only half full, meaning that in terms of efficiency, it was almost the same as hers.

She ate in small, elegant bites, slowly and steadily, but she never stopped.

...Wait a minute, why is she working so hard?

Yukinoshita Haruno felt his gaze, turned her head, squinted and smiled, then tilted her head back and swallowed the watermelon in her mouth.

Then he scooped out another spoonful, put it in his mouth, covered his mouth, and chewed it diligently.

Is this an act?

Yuu Tenkuji couldn't be sure whether her forced demeanor was genuine or not.

Without looking at her for the time being, Yuu Tenkuji finished his meal, took a short breath to calm his nausea from being too full, and then turned back to her.

With her eyebrows furrowed and her usual cheerful smile gone, Yukinoshita Haruno acted like a machine, calmly stuffing a watermelon into her mouth and chewing for a long time before swallowing it forcefully.

Less than a third remain.

"I'll take care of the rest."

Covering her mouth, Yukinoshita Haruno glanced at him, her eyes gradually curving upwards as if a smile was about to appear, but a look of pain flashed across her face.

She didn't answer; the next moment, she continued to reject his offer through her actions.

...So, I have absolutely no idea what she's thinking.

Being a boyfriend is really hard.

Being Yukino Yukinoshita's boyfriend is even harder.
