The heroines want love

'It's all his fault.'

"So during the last study session, Iroha-chan went there just to ask for Xiaoyou's help?"

Yuigahama Yui quickly understood the whole story.

Yukinoshita Yukino didn't quite understand. She was not a member of the current group, and her only contact with Asakura Yu was during the time after school every day.

"Yes. Unfortunately, Sanpu-senpai was jealous. I had no choice but to give up temporarily. Later, I asked the senior for help alone, but he was unwilling."

"Someone keeps hooking on girls who like him. What a scumbag..." Yukino said seriously while drinking tea from the cup.

She suggested last time that Asakura Yuu should try dating a girl, but he refused to date because he was afraid of heartbreak. Isn't this just throwing the baby out with the bathwater?

Of course, Yukino didn't want to be this person.

Even though Asakura Yuu needs a bitter love to transform, Yukino is not willing to jump into the fire pit unless he says it out loud.

Asakura Yuu's expression quickly turned cold after hearing this: "...Bullmaster, you said I was a scumbag? Who did I scumbag? You or Yui? Have I ever touched a single hair on your body?"

Is it your turn to consider what's going on between Yumiko and I? Don't you take yourself too seriously?

I was just joking before, I know what you mean, but this time you actually thought I was playing with Yumiko? You think I don't like her?

"No, but I think you didn't do a good job on this." Yukino put down the teacup.

"So what if I go and confess to Yumiko now?" Asakura Yu took a deep breath and tried to keep his tone calm. "I'm actually very curious. What do you know about me, Minister? What do you understand? Think about it. We only meet for less than ten hours a week. Do you think you can understand my inner thoughts in just three months?"

"Please stop expressing your subjective opinions on things you don't understand. Even if Yumiko likes me and I like her, what does it have to do with you? We're getting married in the future, and with your bad relationship with her, you won't even be the maid of honor."

Asakura Yu felt very uncomfortable.

It was the first time that he felt unhappy in the Service Club, and he couldn't even maintain the discussion mode he had always used with Yukino.

The discourse is also full of loopholes and sophistry.

Is a platonic relationship considered scum? Is it considered scum to maintain an ambiguous relationship with at least two girls that your lover is not satisfied with, but not to touch the body? Asakura Yuu was no longer in the mood to think about such topics. It was the first time he heard Yukino call him a scum in such a serious tone.

"I'm sorry."

Yukino could clearly sense that he was in a bad mood, so she quickly explained, "That's not what I meant... Member Asakura, you don't have to listen to me. You can take your time."

She didn't know Asakura Yu's past and didn't know what he had been through.

But what she said just now was definitely a mistake, and Yukino regretted it very much now.

"Minister Yukinoshita, don't you think that what you said is somewhat contradictory? It was you who said that I was fishing for people and wouldn't let go, and it was also you who said that there was no need to rush."

If Asakura Yuu didn't know that Yukino had some feelings for him and that they had agreed at the beginning of the school year, the expression on his face would have been off by now.

"Who I like and who likes me has nothing to do with you? Who are you to me? After all, we are just the president of the same club..." Asakura Yuu said halfway and his expression became regretful.

After a few seconds——

"I'm sorry, Minister. I lost control of my emotions. What I said just now was just me venting my negative emotions. Let's move on from this topic for now."

Losing temper with a girl is not something a boy should do, let alone something a harem king should do, and he realized this quickly.

[Asakura Yuu] You shouldn’t do this. You can’t do this.

Some time ago, Miura Yumiko's confession made Asakura Yuu a little conflicted. He was thinking whether he should accept it if Yumiko officially confessed to him one day.

Next to Asakura Yu's seat.

It was the first time that Yuigahama Yui saw him angry...or rather, almost no one in this school had ever seen him lose his temper.

Asakura Yuu has always been optimistic and would actively think of ways to solve difficulties. Even though he was slandered by anonymous forums for half a year, he only faced it with a joking attitude. Why would he get angry because of Yukino's words? Is it emotional injury? Or something else?

"...Do I know a lot about him?" Yuigahama Yui asked herself.

Not much, even a little, maybe just a little more than Xiaoxue?

I don't know much about his family situation, nor do I know much about his experiences in junior high school.

It sounds good to say that they understand each other, but Yui found that it was always Asakura Yu who understood and sympathized with her. Her understanding of him only stayed on the surface, staying on his excellent appearance and interesting personality.

This kind of like...

Yuigahama Yui had to admit that her love was superficial, like a lost person who blindly chased after a ray of light, not knowing whether what was in front of him was the only hope or the final despair.

At this moment, Yukino was also asked the same question as Asakura Yuu just now.

'My relationship with him...'

Yes, just like he said, after putting aside the original agreement, the two of them were just ordinary friends who had known each other for three months, were not in the same class, and had almost no chance to meet privately. Under such circumstances, it was normal for him to be disgusted by his unauthorized condescending attitude in evaluating other people's emotional problems, even more than once.

Yukinoshita Yukino lowered her eyebrows, looking a little depressed.

She thought she had entered Asakura Yu's heart, and at least understood 30% of him, but now she thinks that it was all her wishful thinking.

She had never set foot in the forest in his heart.

"So, are you ready to take my commission?"

Isshi Iroha chuckled and changed the subject as if she hadn't heard the conversation.

"I have no objection. But pretending to be a couple with me is very risky. If you can't accept being slandered, I suggest you give up now."

Asakura Yuu looked serious.

There are many people in Sobu High School who like him, but there are also many who hate him.

Although only those who hate it will spread the rumor, if Isshi Iroha is identified as "Asakura Yu's girlfriend", she will definitely be affected by the black fans, and the severity may even be more exaggerated than the time when Yui was attacked.

"I don't have any boys I can trust except my senior."

"...What about Ye Shan? He shouldn't refuse."

Hayato Hayama just needed a shield to fight against the girls who flocked towards him.

"Well... I don't like him that much. Although I like his appearance, I don't want to be his tool. Besides, Asakura-senpai, you are more famous than Hayama-senpai. If I succeed, it will be a great sense of accomplishment for me."

It turns out that she knew what Ye Shan would do.

"I can explain in advance - first of all, I will not make our relationship public. After all, we are just a fake, not a real couple. Secondly, you can date, but you can't go to a couple hotel. Holding hands should be done in moderation, and kissing is not allowed. Finally, you can change the way you address each other. You can call each other when there are few people around, but you still have to use honorifics when there are many people."

"Senior, you are so troublesome."

"If you're in trouble, go find someone else."

I am trying to prevent you from being deeply bound to me so that you won’t suffer in the future. Why don’t you understand?

Or do you want to make it real with me?

"Senior, you don't understand girls' minds at all. Since I have chosen to date you, I must have already figured out the consequences."

"I don't know how to evaluate your trust for a moment."

"No matter what, it won't be a loss." Isshiki Iroha said confidently, "If I get bullied, senior will definitely help me, right?"

"You are not right. If you have been wronged because of me, I will destroy the prisoner no matter what. You are right about this."

Asakura Yu was referring to things other than rumors. After all, if we really want to settle the rumors that may appear in the future, all the students of Sobu High School will be unable to do without them.

"So, from now on, until this matter is resolved, we are a couple?"

Asakura Yu interrupted, "Let me emphasize that we are a [fake] couple."

"Senior, you are so serious, you will definitely not be popular with girls."

"Sorry, I'm very welcome."

Chapter 83 Tripartite Talks

Before the final exam.

The school’s last activity was a route survey in the form of a tripartite meeting.

In the face of such an important matter, Asakura Yu could only put aside the junior's request about the stalker for the time being. He had been sending Isshi Iroha home recently and had not noticed anything unusual for the time being.

"You have to take the three-party talks to heart. Go back and discuss it with your parents. Don't come to school and enter my office and ask to discuss your future with me." On the podium, Shizuka Hiratsuka was wearing a white coat, holding the table with both hands, and leaning forward slightly.

"Fill out the career investigation form first, and then bring it to the tripartite talks."

"When going to higher education, first think about whether to go outside the province or within the province, and finally consider your current grades and set a goal for yourself that you will not regret."

After saying this, Shizuka Hiratsuka signaled the end of the morning meeting.

Then he waved to Asakura Yu without giving any instructions.

-

In the meeting room next to the office.

"Asakura, who are you going to ask to come over?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka crossed her legs and was about to light a cigarette, but then she seemed to remember something and took out a piece of cigarette candy and put it in her mouth and chewed it gently.

"It doesn't matter to anyone. Anyway..."

No one can call back.

"Parents who have lost contact and don't even attend the three-party talks with their children, ah." Shizuka Hiratsuka sighed.

Every family has its own problems, and this little one is no exception. And compared to Saki Kawasaki's family, it is much more complicated.

"This was a decision I made myself, and I don't regret it. On the contrary, they were able to maintain the false family happiness for my healthy growth until I graduated from junior high school. I am very grateful and love them, really."

Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't know how to talk about him.

Asakura Yu's family environment was very bad. His parents gave him a considerable amount of living expenses every month and left the house to him. However, the two went their separate ways and are not even in the country.

When they separated, they gave him two choices, to live with his mother or his father. Asakura Yuu chose neither, saying he wanted to live on his own. His parents thought he was not a child anymore, so they did not stop him and promised to give him living expenses every month, and then they each went to find a new place to live.

Why didn't he persuade his parents to get back together? Maybe he knew it would be useless.

'Oh, how pitiful.'

...They were able to live together for seven years after their divorce, just for the healthy growth of their child. It is unreasonable to say that his parents do not love him.

All I can say is that they both love the child Yu Asakura, but they don’t love each other.

It is unknown how big a blow a child who grows up in such an environment will suffer when he learns the truth. Shizuka Hiratsuka dare not think about it. She cares about Asakura Yuu much more than other students, and this is also a reason. The exquisite porcelain has a shiny surface, but it will inevitably be damaged if it is bumped.

The same is true for Yu Asakura. He constantly sets unattainable goals for himself, uses the ideal "Yu Asakura" as motivation to move forward, and uses such behavior to cover up the emptiness and loss in his heart.

"It seems that you have to think about the way out yourself." Hiratsuka Shizuka put away her legs, leaned forward, smiled and rubbed his head, as if she was touching a perfect work of art: "It would be nice if the teacher was your sister."

"not good."

"Hmm? You still dislike me?"

"If they were brother and sister, we wouldn't be able to get married."

"You keep teasing me, teacher. If I still don't have a boyfriend in a few years, I will really go find you." At this moment, Shizuka Hiratsuka was like a gentle older sister, completely devoid of her usual sloppy and uncle-like temperament.

Because she discovered a hint of loss in Asakura Yu's eyes, perhaps only Hiratsuka Shizuka, who had always cared about him, could notice it.

This kid really does care. No matter how mature he is or how he behaves like an adult, he is still a high school student after all.

After all, only a year has passed... The once happy family fell apart in an instant. He returns to his lonely home every day, eats alone, and studies hard to become the top student in the grade. He can be so strong and maintain himself at the same time. Even Shizuka Hiratsuka thinks it is a miracle. He is amazing!

The future will only get better! She is sure of that.

"I can't think of a way out for myself." Asakura Yuu said in his usual way: "Then I'll go to the Department of Literature at the University of Tokyo."

If it were Yu Asakura, he would definitely choose this.

"You opened your mouth and mentioned the University of Tokyo. You are probably the only one in Sobu High School who can say such a thing with such confidence." Shizuka Hiratsuka withdrew her hand, crushed the cigarette candy, took out a cigarette and lit it.

When this worrying child graduates, she will probably leave her job.

The University of Tokyo is great. Although Chiba is adjacent to Tokyo, in the eyes of Tokyo people, it is just a country bumpkin.

It is always better to go to a bigger city and meet more interesting people than to stay in Chiba, Shizuka Hiratsuka thinks.

Even in a school with the highest local deviation value, it is a remarkable thing to produce a student from the University of Tokyo.

"When are you going to stop smoking? I heard that smoking is bad for the baby during pregnancy."

"Are you really planning to marry the teacher and have children?"

"...When no one wants you in the future, I will take over."

Asakura Yuu picked up the career survey form that had just been placed on the table. First choice, second choice, third choice...

“No one wants teachers now.”

"I'm only 16 years old, and I'll be 17 in a while... Why don't you wait until I graduate?" Asakura Yu looked up and said to her with a smile.
