I really don't want to have a girlfriend.

The two didn't say anything more. Kasumigaoka Utaha went into the fitting room, while Tenkuji Yuu came out of the lingerie store and sat on the bench outside, which was specially prepared for accompanying men, and waited with his legs crossed.

Within ten minutes, Kasumigaoka Utaha came out carrying three or four bags.

"It only cost a little over ten thousand, let's move on to the next place."

She seemed to have given up on teasing him; her movements were swift and decisive, her tone cool and indifferent.

Yuu Tenkuji blinked, but didn't ask any more questions. She simply stood up obediently and fulfilled her duty as an escort.

If she tries to flirt with him, he'll flirt back; if she's lost interest in such things, he doesn't need to deliberately provoke her.

If you're not going to marry me, why flirt?

He didn't sense any sincerity from Kasumigaoka Utaha either, knowing she was just joking, which was why she was so casual in her response.

Perhaps she realized that she couldn't get any pleasure from him at all, and would only drive him crazy, so she gave up so quickly?

Following behind Kasumigaoka Utaha, Tenkuji Yu smiled with a mixture of regret and relief.

"By the way, could you help me take the things out of there?"

The black-haired girl suddenly turned around and handed over one of the bags in her hand, but cleverly covered the angle from which one could look inside with her palm.

Yuu Tenkuji didn't care. She just wanted to see how well she had chosen the style.

Unexpectedly, she still had ulterior motives and wanted to tease him in this way... Whatever, he wasn't worried at all.

So he reached in and, as expected, pulled out a purple lace... well, you know, it was probably around an E size.

"Why are you taking out your newly bought spoils in public—"

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly froze on the spot, his fingertips unconsciously rubbing the fabric in his hands.

It even had a very noticeable temperature, could this be...?

Once the thought crossed his mind, Yuu Tenkuji's expression simultaneously stiffened.

He slowly turned his head to look at Kasumigaoka Utaha, and saw a smug smile slowly bloom on her calm and composed pretty face as she pulled out her phone, which she had been hiding in her pocket, and pointed the camera at him.

"Taking your female companion's underwear out for admiring in public, you've got some fun... You've got a dark history!"

Once the focus is complete, the finger falls down.

Unfortunately, at the very moment she pressed the shutter...

With lightning speed, Yuu Tenkuji stuffed the mature-looking thing back into the bag, and while blocking the camera with his arm, he flicked her forehead hard with two fingers.

Snapped!

"You've got some tricks up your sleeve, but unfortunately, you can't close the gap in strength. Please come again next time, heroine."

"Waaah—"

Rolling her eyes at Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was crouching down wailing with her head in her hands, Tenkuji Yuu casually waved his hand and turned to walk towards the restroom.

"I'm going to wash my hands. You wait for me outside."

Chapter 138 Not a Meaningless Thing

There might still be someone's scent lingering on your fingers.

Yuu Tenkuji didn't bother to smell it; she simply washed her hands calmly and left the restroom with the scent of soap lingering in her skin.

Kasumigaoka Utaha and the others were outside, arms crossed, legs shaking, looking very unhappy.

"Are a pretty girl's underwear really that dirty?"

“You should have said ‘the underwear that someone else was wearing just a few minutes ago,’ then you’d know how dirty it was.” After correcting her, Tenkuji Yu gave her a sneer and glanced at her sideways. “You should be glad that I didn’t get panties, otherwise I would have just slammed them on your head and yelled that you were a pervert.”

Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes widened, and she even forgot to stop her legs from shaking: "You dare to do this?"

"Of course I dare, I am somewhat of a germaphobe."

"This is the kind of treatment countless men dream of..."

"Haha, I've met quite a few women who only want to have a physical relationship with me. Are you one of them?"

Are you kidding me?

"You are me."

"..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha is completely convinced.

This guy is like an impregnable fortress, impossible to conquer. No matter how many tricks and words you use to provoke him, you'll only end up hurting yourself.

There wasn't a trace of shyness, embarrassment, or panic on his face; it wasn't funny at all!

Looking at Tenkuji Yu's indifferent and unyielding expression, Kasumigaoka Utaha sighed speechlessly.

"Fine, I know you don't see me as a woman."

She gave up and pouted, saying listlessly, "I'm too lazy to bother you anymore. Let's just be friends and behave normally."

I really wish you had thought that sooner.

Yuu Tenkuji was glad that she was finally back to normal, and he felt somewhat relieved.

It wasn't that she disliked Kasumigaoka Utaha's childish antics and the effort she put into playing pranks on her, nor was it that she was afraid of embarrassing herself in front of her—

I just felt that her opening joke was so suggestive, like she was trying to seduce me, which was really hard to handle.

Yuu Tenkuji is confident in his self-control, but he also understands his own personality.

Once is fine, but if he were tempted by her like this time and time again, he would definitely retaliate against Kasumigaoka Utaha in the same sultry way in order to prove that his male function is normal.

In the end, either the atmosphere becomes awkward and ambiguous, or things escalate out of control and get out of control.

Not to mention Isshiki Iroha, he still has four girlfriends who haven't "returned" yet and are waiting for him... If he were to cheat on Kasumigaoka Utaha at this time, wouldn't that be too inhuman?

He swears, with his noble character like that of the Dharma King, that such scumbag behavior would never happen to him!

Where to go next?

He glanced at the bags in Kasumigaoka Utaha's hands. Since they were all girls' personal items, he didn't offer to be a gentleman and ask if she needed help carrying them. Instead, he looked at the elevator not far away: "If you're going to spend a lot of money on food, drinks, and entertainment, besides furniture, it'll be electronics..."

"No, I'll buy clothes instead."

The two arrived at the elevator. Kasumigaoka Utaha pressed the up button and casually said, "The fourth floor sells trendy clothes. Let's go check that out."

"So you also buy two outfits to wear in rotation every day?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded, her gaze sweeping over his entire body from head to toe.

"I'll buy yours while I'm at it."

Tenkuji Yu was somewhat taken aback: "Mine?"

Without much conversation, the two went up to the fourth floor. Kasumigaoka Utaha, as usual, only went to the brand-name counters. After gesturing for the staff to move away, she pulled Tenkuji Yuu to the men's suit rack and began to demonstrate for him.

"Logically, if it's going to be expensive, it should be custom-made, but we don't have that much time, so we can only buy what we can find..."

While muttering to herself, she quickly took down a suit and asked Tenkuji Yu to go to the fitting room to try it on.

The shop assistant behind seemed about to step forward and say something, but Kasumigaoka Utaha immediately shut her down with a single sentence:

"We'll buy any clothes we try on, whether we wear them or not. If you keep arguing, I'll buy everything here!"

The saleswoman was a little flustered, but she was too intimidated by the rich man's domineering attitude to continue talking nonsense. She was afraid that this young lady, who might be picking out clothes for her gigolo, would remember her face and get fired soon.

After confirming that the outsider had bowed and retreated to the counter out of sight, Kasumigaoka Utaha slowly turned her head back to look at the boy in front of her.

The arrogant heiress who spent money like water suddenly transformed back into a somewhat childish senior in front of him.

She narrowed her eyes and smiled happily: "I've wanted to say something like this for a long time, it feels really good."

"Then you should be more assertive and just say, 'I'll take everything from this store, and you can stay put!'"

"There's no need for that, unless you can conjure up a black card on the spot."

"It's a bit difficult..."

"Then go in and change your clothes obediently." Kasumigaoka Utaha pushed his shoulder and shoved him into the changing room.

Holding the suit, Tenkuji Yu hesitated whether to just let herself be manipulated like this, but since the door had already been closed, it would seem too pretentious not to change it.

"Never mind, I already agreed to spend the whole day with her."

He quickly adopted the self-awareness expected of a male host—though he didn't know where this self-awareness came from, he just had the impression that he had done similar work before—and put on the suit that Kasumigaoka Utaha had casually picked out, and began to examine himself in the mirror.

She shouldn't know her size, yet the suit fit him perfectly, requiring no additional tailoring; it was as if it were custom-made.

"As expected of me, you look really good."

After straightening her collar and making a boastful remark, Yuu Tenkuji opened the door and went out.

However, Kasumigaoka Utaha was nowhere to be seen outside.

"What about people?"

Just as I finished wondering about this, the girl appeared from the shelf diagonally behind me, carrying a business tie in her hand.

"You changed so quickly..." She paused abruptly as she spoke, her eyes widening slightly as she stared blankly at him, who was dressed in a sharp suit.

Despite her vacant gaze, one could still sense her eyes meticulously and slowly 'licking' her entire body from top to bottom.

My vanity was completely filled, okay?

Yuu Tenkuji never doubted his good looks, but he never expected that simply changing into a formal suit would leave the beautiful girl speechless with amazement—is this what they mean by "Buddha needs gold plating, and people need clothes"—is it all about equipment boosting stats?

"You picked the right one. This one is really comfortable to wear, and it's easy to change into." Seeing that she was so engrossed in her own handsomeness, Tenkuji Yu's tone softened, and she kindly refrained from pointing out that she was staring in a daze. "It seems like I haven't worn a suit since I moved out to live with Sora, has I?"

Apart from my parents' funerals, there haven't been many occasions where I need to wear a suit.

"...Is that so? As long as it suits you."

Seemingly not having heard him clearly, Kasumigaoka Utaha looked away and casually handed over what she was holding.

"I found a tie that suits you, try it on."

“Okay.” Tenkuji Yu didn’t refuse, took the tie and put it around his neck.

He certainly knew how to tie a tie, but before he could even begin, Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly pressed herself against him, her slender, white hand pulling him forward: "Let me tie it for you, it'll be faster that way."

“…I don’t think it’s necessary.” Tenkuji Yu lowered her gaze speechlessly, a fresh and elegant fragrance of hair wafting into her nose. She was very close, and she could see the beautiful scenery that the censors wouldn’t allow her to write through her collar.
