Relentlessly Approaching the Poison-Tongued and Indifferent Beauty to Tickle the Cutesy Reactions out of her [Dropped]

“However… The mystery hasn’t been solved yet. Why are you such a weirdo?”

“You can say that I’m a devoted son.”

“Well, you’re definitely a weirdo.”

Koyuki sighed as she sipped her coffee in amazement. Then, she flashed a smirk.

“Too bad, though. Your skills won’t work on me.”

“Huh, really?”

“Yeah. Why should I be delighted to have tea with you? It would be more worthwhile for me to stay home and study while drinking tap water.”

With a shrug, Koyuki lowered her voice and looked at Naoya with a questioning gaze.

“But, for reference, can you understand other things I’m thinking about?”

“Well, yeah, various things.”

Naoya nodded casually.

“You give off the vibe of an older sister. Your right hand is your dominant hand but you can also write with your left hand if you exert enough effort. You are secretly a hard worker and you tend to hide your weakness from other people. Though you try to act tough, you are actually a bit of a scaredy-cat. You are forcing yourself to drink black coffee, but in truth you actually love hot chocolate with a lot of cream on it”

He could read various things, but there was only one thing worth mentioning.

“Also… You like me, right?”

“—?!”

Because of the sudden revelation, she started coughing painfully. Naoya could only watch her, as he knew that interfering with her could cause her to explode.

“Cough, cough, that’s not a funny joke. Who is the person I like, you say…?”

“Huh? Am I wrong?”

“Of course you are!”

Koyuki shouted in a trembling voice. Her face, and even the tips of her fingers, turned bright red. Her beautiful blue eyes were also teary with embarrassment.

“Even if you helped me in a dangerous situation… There’s no way I, a perfect and beautiful girl would fall for a weirdo like you! Don’t get conceited!”

“Oh, well, in that case, it’s much better for me.”

“Huh?”

While Koyuki stared in amazement, Naoya scratched his head and let out a sigh.

“The truth is… there’s a reason why I invited Shirogane-san here.”

“A reason…?”

“Yeah. It’s a simple story.”

Naoya faced Koyuki again and said,

“If Shirogane-san were to fall in love with me… you should stop before it is too late.”

“……”

At that moment, Koyuki’s beautiful face twisted into a frown. She immediately lost her energy and looked down, asking in a barely audible voice:

“Does that mean… you have a girlfriend?”

“No, my history of not having a girlfriend is equal to my age.”

“Then… does that mean you reject strong-willed women like me?”

“That’s not true either.”

Naoya slowly shook his head.

He didn’t currently have a girlfriend, and he didn’t dislike Koyuki either. In fact, he found her amusing and even had some strange feelings for her which were indescribable.

But there was something he couldn’t compromise on.

Even though he felt sorry for making the girl sad, he chose his words carefully.

“You see… because of my personality, girls often think I’m a ‘caring person’ and I’m popular because of that trait.”

“What’s with that, boasting…?”

“That’s the end of our conversation if that’s all you have to say.”

Naoya shrugged his shoulders at Koyuki’s glare, then laughed self-deprecatingly and decided to confess.

“But everyone quickly distances themselves from me… saying that I’m ‘too good at sensing things’ and that it’s creepy.”

“I see… I get it now.”

It was a full-fledged acceptance of the situation.

While it was terrible, she couldn’t refute it since she knew it was a reasonable explanation.
