The Strongest Loner Redo His Youth With Unmatched Prowess!! ~In the Second Round of School Life, He Made Beautiful Girl Friends!~ - Chapter 29: Wallet

(Haa. I’m so glad we came today!!) 

Hina and the others had arrived at a small accessory store in the shopping mall. 

Hina deepened her smile as she clung to Yuito’s arm. 

Her smile was composed of half fake and half genuine. 

“Um, you’re a bit too close.” 

“Eh? This is pretty normal, right?”

“R-Really?” 

Yuito was flustered and acting suspiciously. 

At first, she thought this joint party was a failure. 

The men who showed up were unimpressive. 

The only one who was good-looking was an introvert. 

When she smiled at him a little, he looked away as if frightened. 

She thought she had hit the jackpot because he was wearing clothes that women liked, but it turned out to be a huge disappointment.

However, there was an unexpectedly pleasant surprise. 

“Ah, this one is cute, but maybe a bit too expensive…” 

Hina picked up the pouch. 

It was a bit pricey. For a high school student, it was a price that would make them hesitate to buy. 

Hina stared at the pouch with a visibly downcast expression. 

“…Should I buy it as a present?” 

Gotcha!! 

Yuito called out to her.

It seems that Yuito has some money for a student. 

This introverted guy can be easily manipulated if she just shows a little affection. 

Hina was thinking of making him her boyfriend and using him as a wallet. 

However, being too eager here is third-rate. 

“No, it’s okay. It’s our first meeting, so I shouldn’t rely on you too much.” 

She decided to pull back for now. 

She wanted to make it clear that she wasn’t after his money or possessions.

If that happens, Yuito should push and say, “I want to give you a present”――.

“Oh, right. I’m sorry. I suddenly said something weird…” 

(No, that’s too quick to give up, right?!) 

Hina had misjudged Yuito’s introverted nature. 

Yuito generally thinks in a negative direction. 

If rejected, he would get depressed, thinking, “Did I say something creepy…” and quickly withdraw.

“M-maybe I want it as a gift to commemorate the first time I met Yuito-kun.” 

“Ah, okay. Got it.” 

It was forced, but she managed to steer it back on track. 

She somehow succeeded in getting Yuito to buy the pouch. 

(I can’t tell if he’s easy to handle or difficult to deal with…) 

But she can gradually understand how to handle him.

Hina decided to take another step forward in their relationship. 

“Hey, Yuito-kun. Why don’t we sneak out together?” 

“Eh, but…” 

Yuito was worried about Satou and Suzuki. 

(Why are you worried about the guys when you come to a mixer…?) 

Hina wanted to point it out but managed to hold back. 

“It’s fine, I’ll let them know to contact the others.”

“Eh, wait――” 

Hina pulled Yuito’s arm with a strong tug. 

Yuito didn’t resist at all and was dragged along. 

(Hehe, he’s not resisting at all. Deep down, he’s actually happy to be invited by me.) 

He’s just someone who can’t say no and is easily swayed.
