The Issue of Why I'm Frequently Mentioned in Conversations Among S-Class Beauties ~Please Stop Fabricating Things I Have No Memory Of~ (Dropped) - Chapter 17: Going Home with the S-Class Beauty

Chapter 17: Going Home with the S-Class Beauty

After walking for about 20 minutes, Haruya and Yuna arrived in front of an apartment building that, at first glance, may not have been the most appealing to the eyes, but it wasn’t so much as to look like a  rundown either. In other words, it was a modest and eco-friendly property.

“…This is my place.”

“Oh, I see.”

“Why do you look so surprised?” Yuna frowned slightly, as if feeling ridiculed, but Haruya quickly explained.

“No, it’s not that… I was just surprised that we’ve already arrived at your house,” Haruya hastily explained, and Yuna let out a small mischievous laugh.

“Sorry, just kidding… I didn’t think you were making fun of me.”

“I’m glad… I know how tough it is to live alone,” Haruya said, looking at Yuna with admiring eyes for being able to live on her own.

Yuna’s black hair fluttered as she turned her head away again, looking a bit sulky.

(Oh no, did I upset her again? But really, it’s amazing that she’s able to live alone so well…)

Thinking that he might have upset Yuna again, Haruya earnestly tried to clarify his intentions by speaking to her.

“Living alone is often praised as something people want to try or envy, but in reality, it’s very difficult, right?”

“…”

“Like cooking and cleaning by yourself, it’s not something that’s really easy to do.”

“…”

“For me, I can’t do those things at all, so I’m even more impressed with people who can actually do so…”

“… Fine. I understand… I said I understand, so just stop it already…”

Yuna, with a flushed cheek, weakly rebutted, though Haruya could tell that she was expressing her true feelings. As he watched her fiddle with her black hair, he couldn’t help but feel worried about her restless demeanor.

Eventually, she lowered her gaze and said, 

“I-I’m going home now. Thanks for everything today.”

“No, thank you too. I had a great time today.“

As Haruya looked back, he realized that it had been nothing but fun. Above all, being able to passionately discuss “shoujo manga” has been a significant reward.

Despite his usual motto of “it’s easier and more comfortable to be alone,” Haruya now felt that having someone to share hobbies and interests with was valuable. It had been an exciting conversation.

“… I had fun too. Well then…”

“Yeah, see you.”

As they exchanged parting words, Haruya turned to leave, feeling a sense of farewell. However, his stomach loudly growled, reminding him that he hadn’t eaten anything all day, lost in the excitement of their conversation.

His awareness of his hunger had been overshadowed by his enthusiasm for the conversation, but now his body had reached its limit.

*growl*

Blushing with embarrassment, Haruya tried to leave the scene immediately, but his hunger was persistent. His stomach growled again, refusing to calm down.

“Wait. If you’re hungry, do you want to eat at my house before you go?” a cool and composed voice came from behind Haruya.

Haruya was taken aback, but quickly responded, “Well, um… I mean, it’s really not necessary.” He was flustered by the sudden offer.

“I’m partly responsible for getting carried away with our conversation and forgetting to ask if you have eaten…” Yuna said, admitting her fault.

—No. Haruya wanted to deny it, but at that moment, his stomach growled again, at the worst timing possible. His face heated up with embarrassment, and his thoughts became sluggish.

It seemed like Yuna, who had been feeling embarrassed earlier, was now eager to invite Haruya to her home as a form of punishment for what he made her feel.

Seeing that Haruya was hesitant, Yuna brought up a topic to further encourage him.

“Besides, I have a lot of shojo manga at home too, so if there’s anything you’re interested in, I can show you...”

“…”

Haruya almost reacted to the word “shoujo manga,” but he held back.

However, Yuna seemed determined not to let Haruya slip away, and she grabbed his wrist.

“Just this once, okay… So be a good guy and come with me,” her voice was thin and feeble, but it left no room for argument.

Haruya wanted to resist, but his thoughts were clouded, and he found himself being led to Yuna’s house.

It felt like Haruya’s encounter with Yuna, the other S-class beauty, was coming to an end, but he had a feeling that the mischievous prank of the gods was not over yet.
