Didn’t you say you were just using me as a substitute?

"Besides, I would feel really sorry for Nagisa if I confessed to Tsubasa right now."

When Kitahara Takashi heard this, he really wanted to tell her that she didn't need to feel sorry at all.

Because from his observation, he didn't think Kashiwagi Nagisa cared much about her nominal boyfriend, but he couldn't say it.

"I will make sure to explain everything to Nagisa before I confess to Tsubasa-kun."

Kashiwagi Nagisa is his best friend.

Shijo Shinki didn't want to hide this matter from her.

"I'm sorry for her in this matter. Even if she scolds me and cuts off all ties with me, I'll accept it."

This child is really honest and doesn't look like a woman at all.

Kitahara Takashi didn't understand how this honest child knew the devil Kashiwagi Nagisa.

Kitahara Takashi encouraged, "Keep going."

"By the way, Zun. You will help me next time too."

Shijo Shinki looked at Kitahara-sama with hope.

If Kitahara Takashi hadn't provoked her, she might never have been able to look directly into her own heart in her life and would have been a timid secret admirer.

"I can give you some advice."

Kitahara Takashi did not refuse, but he would only help Shijo Shinki and Tanuma Tsubasa until they were together.

After being together, the rest of the journey depends on herself.

Kitahara Takashi has no intention of being someone else's male best friend.

"Zun, you are indeed my best friend."

Shijo Shinki held Kitahara Takashi's right hand tightly with both hands, full of gratitude.

Kitahara Takashi pulled his hand away from Shijo Shinki and turned his head away to avoid the girl's sincere gaze.

She considers herself a friend, but Kitahara Takashi doesn't consider her a friend.

"Ahem, by the way, Zhenfei, can you give me your best friend's phone number?" Kitahara Tsutomu took a sip of cappuccino and said nonchalantly.

He didn't forget the important things.

If she hadn't called tonight, Kasumigaoka Utaha and Sawamura Spencer Eriri would probably have rushed to her school on Monday.

"Zun, what do you want Nagisa's phone number for?"

Shijo Shinki looked at Kitahara Tsutomu strangely, not understanding why he wanted her best friend's phone number.

Could it be that he has a crush on his best friend?

No way.

They have never met each other.

"A friend of mine met her last time and fell in love with her at first sight. I found out that she was Kashiwagi Nagisa, a first-year student from Shuchiin. I think she must be your best friend."

When saying such insincere words, Kitahara Takashi's conscience ached slightly.

"Your friend? Which one? Wait, your friend can't be called Kitahara Takashi." Shijo Maki was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly thought of the frivolous man who touched her best friend when they met not long ago.

Beiyuan Zun was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and nodded quickly: "Oh yes, it's him."

"Zun, you really are such a friend."

Shijo Shinki showed a look of disgust.

"He pretended to make a phone call, reached out to a girl he had never met, and flirted with several women just because he was good-looking. He even tried to steal Nagisa's girlfriend even though he knew she was in a relationship. This kind of person is the scum of Tokyo."

Kitahara Takashi: “…”

No!

Last time it was just a misunderstanding. I treated her to a meal to apologize, and Kashiwagi Nagisa herself didn't care about it. But you are still holding on to it. Aren't you too petty?

Also, let me be clear, who is having ambiguous relationships with several women?

And you, who is hitting on your best friend's girlfriend, how can you have the nerve to look down on others?

Kitahara Takashi is really angry!

Do you know the consequences of making him angry?

He will act as if nothing happened.

Well, the main reason is that Kitahara Takashi couldn’t think of how he could take revenge on the daughter of the Shijo family.

"He told me about what happened last time. It was just a misunderstanding. Besides, Kashiwagi Nagisa is with Kitahara, so you don't have to feel sorry for her, right?"

"How can I push my best friend into the fire? No, no!" Shijo Shinki shook her head repeatedly.

She is against this marriage!

'Me? The fire pit?'

Kitahara Takashi was so angry that he laughed.

You are a fire pit, what kind of person is your best friend who jumps into the fire pit on her own initiative?

Is someone dead?

"I'll be honest, that friend is me. I've fallen in love with Miss Kashiwagi." Since my friend couldn't do it, Kitahara Takashi could only act as Watanabe Takashi.

When Shijo Shinki heard this, she said nothing. She just looked at Kitahara Tsutomu with an increasingly gentle look.

It was a gentle look that the four younger brothers of the emperor had never seen before.

Kitahara Takashi got goosebumps all over his body from being looked at.

Shijo Shinki once again held Kitahara Tsun's hand and said earnestly, "Tsun, you really don't have to compromise yourself to this extent for me."

Kitahara Takashi: (?°?°?)

No, are there only so many shrimp-headed women now?

This is only the second time we meet, and it’s for you?

I'm doing this for my own good!

Can you women stop being so self-satisfied?

This is true for Utaha Kasumigaoka, Eriri Sawamura Spencer, and you too.

Can you act so well as a bootlicker?

Do you all believe it?

So I am Li Zongheng?

Kitahara Takashi's chest was heaving with anger, and he wanted to throw the cappuccino on the table into the other person's face to make her sober up.

But Kitahara Tsutomu held back.

There is no other reason, just cowardice.

49. Experience the life of ordinary people (seeking votes)

"no!"

After trying countless ways and talking himself into submission, Kitahara Takashi almost broke his tongue, he still couldn't get Kashiwagi Nagisa's phone number from Shijo Shinki.

Kitahara Takashi was really pissed off.

Didn’t Kashiwagi Nagisa say that Shijo Maki already considered her a friend?

What kind of friend can’t even ask for a phone call?

Kitahara Takashi slammed the table and said, "Alright, that's all for today. I have things to do."

Don't call him?

Row!

Then he went back to fishing.

In a fit of anger, Kitahara Takashi decided to announce the end of the date.

Anyway, he has accumulated enough points, so this date can be canceled forcibly.

Why not spend 10,000 Cricket points!

It makes everyone feel the same.

He doesn't feel sorry at all?!

Men must be tough!

Don't spoil women.

Although Kitahara Takashi didn't know what use this childish behavior like "Hmph, I'll never play with you again" would have on Shijo Shinki, this was the only chance he could think of to resist her.

"Wait, wasn't my slamming of the table a little too loud just now? What if I upset the young lady? What should I do?"

After taking just a few steps, Kitahara Tsutomu already felt regretful.

I was so drunk that I almost forgot that the person sitting opposite me was a real rich girl.

His power might even be greater than Kashiwagi Nagisa's.

How could I give her the cold shoulder?

It was still too hasty.

"Call me! If you call me, I will definitely stop." Kitahara Takashi had already begun to save face in his heart.

Just waiting for an opportunity.

He will definitely let you see what it means to go back on your word.

"Wait, Zun, where are you going?"

When Shijo Shinki saw Kitahara Tsutomu get up and leave, she panicked.

Although they may be tsundere, there is an essential difference between Shijo Maki's tsundere and Eriri's tsundere.

The [arrogance] of the four real concubines accounts for only about 10% to 20% at most, while [coquettishness] accounts for a larger proportion.

On the other hand, Eriri, well...how should I put it.

There is not a bit of coquettishness in Eriri's arrogance, or rather, there is a negligible amount of coquettishness mixed in.

In comparison, Shijo Maki is more adorable.

"go home."

Kitahara Takashi, who was waiting for Shijo Shinki to say this, immediately stopped and turned around, his mouth still hard.

Do you know where Kitahara Takashi's body is the hardest?

That's the mouth!

"Don't leave. I'll give it to you. Isn't it okay if I give it to you?"

Shijo Shinki casually placed a 5,000 yen note on the table, picked up her bag and started to chase after him.

Kitahara Takashi was shocked when he saw this. He quickly stepped back and said to the waiter sternly, "Give me the change!"

This spendthrift woman.

Just a cup of coffee and a Frappuccino, and you give me five thousand?

Go crazy.

No wonder shops always like to make money from you women.

That’s really profitable!

Shijo Shinki stared blankly at Kitahara Tsunade who had originally left and returned the same way, took the change from the waiter and stuffed it into her hand.

"You can't get rich by doing this. You have to change this bad habit." Kitahara Tsutomu taught him earnestly.

Kitahara Takashi has always been the type of person who saves when he should and spends when he should, and who rides his bicycle to the bar.
