Tokyo: Becoming the Perfect Male God Starting with a Rented Boyfriend.

Miyazawa Itsuki was stunned for a moment, as was Sato He.

Chinatsu Nakano's eyes lit up slightly:

"That's right, if we call Mr. Miyazawa over, Nana will definitely feel better."

"..."

All eyes were on Naomi Asahina, awaiting her reply.

The girl gave a weak smile.

"……No."

Those words were as fragile and easily broken as glass.

"Huijun and I... have broken up."

Chapter 95 Dark Clouds Obscuring the Sun

One sentence silenced the entire room.

Even the students who were dawdling on their way home nearby all stopped what they were doing.

Chinatsu Nakano opened her mouth in disbelief, looking like she thought, "How could this be?"

Ryosuke Takeda showed little change in emotion, but his eyebrows were slightly raised.

Sato He's facial muscles twitched. It was unclear what he was thinking.

The silence lasted for almost half a minute.

In the end, it was Chinatsu Nakano who broke the silence.

With an expression of deep remorse, he apologized to Asahina:

"...I'm sorry, Nana, I misspoke."

She finally understood why her friend had been acting so strangely these past few days.

For Naomi, who was experiencing love for the first time, breaking up was undoubtedly a deeply unforgettable experience.

Moreover, the other person was a handsome guy she had only known for a short time. They were still in the honeymoon phase, yet she was dumped.

It would be an absolutely terrible memory for any girl.

If it were me, I probably wouldn't have been able to keep going to school; I would have cried until I had no tears left at home.

"It's okay, Chinatsu-chan."

Naomi Asahina gently shook her head.

"I don't blame anyone; it's my own problem. The breakup is a fact, and there's nothing to hide."

Miyazawa Itsuki was slightly surprised.

He didn't expect Naomi to actually carry out her original plan and announce their breakup after everything was over.

And in public.

Furthermore, these remarks were somewhat biased towards Miyazawa Teru, which could easily affect Naomi's own reputation.

Naomi refused to reveal what exactly caused the two newly dating couple to break up, which only fueled speculation.

Even if they were to announce their breakup, if it were Miyazawa Itsuki who suggested it, he would want Naomi to wait a few more days.

This fake relationship was far too short-lived from the very beginning.

If even separation is like this, it will bring unnecessary gossip to Naomi.

Moreover, even if they announced their breakup, he hoped that Naomi would take the blame upon herself.

Asahina no longer needs to rent a boyfriend, which means that [Miyazawa Teru] will no longer appear in the girl's life.

An ex-boyfriend you'll never see again is practically a natural scapegoat.

Whether you angrily curse the scumbag or criticize his intolerable behavior, it doesn't matter.

If there's a reasonable way out, everyone will stop overthinking and instead comfort the miserable Naomi.

Only then can this order be considered successfully completed.

After a moment's hesitation, Chinatsu Nakano took her friend's hand:

"Although I don't know the specifics of what happened between you two, how could a breakup be solely Nana's fault? Nana is so beautiful and kind to everyone, how could it be your problem?"

She looked up at Naomi Asahina and forced a smile:

"But Nana, listen to me. Of course it's sad to break up with your first relationship. If you're sad, just cry. You don't have to bear everything alone. You still have us."

"We can help you change your mood, go shopping with you, buy you nice clothes, and eat delicious desserts together. We can cover up all those sad memories."

Naomi Asahina looked at her friend and nodded.

"Ah."

Just as the three were about to leave.

A voice froze Naomi's steps.

"Asahi-kun, may I speak to you in private?"

Miyazawa Itsuki spoke from behind her.

"I have something I'd like to talk to you about, but I'm sorry to say I chose this time."

Asahina stared blankly at Miyazawa Itsuki.

Then, he nodded silently.

The two left the classroom and went to a secluded place.

The students in the class were left standing there, staring at each other.

"What is this? A confession?"

"Wasn't that a bit too fast? Asahi just announced their breakup."

"As expected, Asahi-san is Asahi-san. It would be strange not to like her if she became my deskmate. She just became single again and someone is already making a move on her."

Sato He was dumbfounded.

Are there really people who react and act that quickly? I haven't finished thinking about it yet.

Chinatsu Nakano was also stunned.

"Probably not...that kind of thing."

"...I heard from Nana that Miyazawa has a girlfriend."

……

Miyazawa Itsuki led Asahina Omi to the top floor of the school building.

But instead of going up to the rooftop, they stopped outside the door.

He turned around.

Meeting the girl's complicated gaze, he first bowed slightly.

"I would like to thank Asahi again for visiting me yesterday."

Naomi Asahina looked away and pouted.

"I only delivered the gift, we didn't meet, right? How did you know it was me, Miyazawa-kun?"

"That's what I'm going to talk about next."

Miyazawa Itsuki slowly said:

"Yesterday, Tsukimi accepted Asahi's gift on my behalf."

I heard that name.

Naomi Asahina instinctively clenched her hands, her nails stinging her skin.

"Tsukimi-san... I don't know if Asahi-san is familiar with you, that is, Tsukimi Sakuna from Class 2-A."

“…I know. The academy’s ‘saintess,’” Naomi said quietly.

“It’s great that Asahi-kun understands. This makes it easier for me to explain.” Miyazawa Itsuki nodded.

"Tsukimi and I are actually..."

"It's a relationship you don't want others to know about, and you want me to keep it a secret, right?"

Naomi Asahina gave a curt summary.

"Tsukimi-san has already told me all of this."

I already said that!

Miyazawa Itsuki was taken aback.

When did this happen? Did they communicate about it beforehand?

He was still unaware of what Tsukimi Sakura had said.

However, judging from Naomi's statement, Her Highness the Saintess did indeed convey Miyazawa Itsuki's true intentions very well.

Keep secrets.

This was his motivation for explaining it, and also an insurance policy for Tsukimi Sakura and his own future stable life.

The reasons behind Tsukimi Sakura's move and the promise to help with cooking are all somewhat complicated to explain.

If Tsukimi Sakuna herself were to explain, it would certainly be more convincing than if he relayed it.

"Since Tsukimi-san has already explained it to Asahi-san, I won't add anything unnecessary."

Miyazawa Itsuki said:

"Please, Asahi-kun, keep this a secret for us."

"Ah."

Naomi Asahina nodded wearily.

After the two reached an agreement, they had nothing more to say.

"Well then, goodbye, Miyazawa-kun."

See you tomorrow, Asahi-kun.

After saying goodbye, the two went to different exits.

Naomi couldn't help but turn back in the end.

Watching the boy's retreating figure, the girl's gaze turned heavy, and she murmured softly:

"If I had met you first, would the outcome have been different?"

"I wish you happiness, Tree King, and I wish you bad luck."

"I won't interfere in the relationships between couples, but as long as you're no longer... I'll wait for that day."

……

Miyazawa Itsuki thought the matter was over.

The days passed uneventfully for several days.

It's morning again.

Miyazawa Itsuki arrived late into the classroom, only to find the atmosphere strange.

The classroom was no longer as lively as usual; instead, it felt somewhat cold.

No one was chatting as easily as usual. This was unusual enough.

"What's wrong? Is there a test today?"

He asked Takato Tanaka, who was standing at the classroom door.

Tanaka Takato, his face covered in cold sweat, pointed at the blackboard without saying a word.

Miyazawa Itsuki followed the gaze.
