"In any case, thank you, Tomori-chan."
Kitahara Makoto thanked her sincerely.
If it weren't for Takamatsu Tomori going easy on him at the end, Kitahara Makoto suspected he wouldn't have won until dark.
Luck, that thing, simply doesn't move according to human will.
As for winning only because Tomori-chan went easy on him, would he feel humiliated...?
He could even eat soft rice from a rich woman, who would care about this little bit of shame!
"...It was Kitahara-kun's own effort."
Takamatsu Tomori guiltily averted her gaze, took out a notepad, wrote down her name, and then handed over the exchange coupon with both hands:
"This is my exchange coupon, Kitahara-kun can command me anytime."
"I'll take it."
Kitahara Makoto took the universal exchange coupon, a hint of hesitation on his face.
The daily quest was complete; apparently, he just needed to win the Rich Man game, and whether others went easy on him didn't matter.
Now that he had the universal exchange coupon, he could definitely get the stockings.
Given Takamatsu Tomori's personality, she would most likely not refuse...
"But... do I really want to exchange for stockings?"
Looking at the universal exchange coupon in his hand, Kitahara Makoto was conflicted.
Even for an eccentric girl, suddenly being asked for stockings by a boy would be awkward and difficult, right?
"Kitahara-kun, what's wrong?"
Seeing Kitahara Makoto's changing expression, Takamatsu Tomori tilted her head in confusion.
Kitahara Makoto looked at Takamatsu Tomori and exhaled lightly:
"I've already decided what I want to exchange for."
"Eh?" Takamatsu Tomori was surprised, "That fast?"
"That's right..." Kitahara Makoto handed over the universal exchange coupon he had just received, still warm in his hand, and said softly, "I want to see Tomori-chan's smiling face."
Takamatsu Tomori's eyes widened slightly: "Smiling face?"
"I've known you for several days, and I've never seen Tomori-chan smile. If there's no smile in life, life will slowly turn gray," Kitahara Makoto said earnestly, "So, I want to exchange for one of Tomori-chan's smiles... That's not too much, is it?"
Stockings won't disappear; he could get them later if there was a chance.
If he exchanged for stockings now, Kitahara Makoto felt like he would lose his qualification as a human being!
"N-not too much..."
Takamatsu Tomori's slender eyelashes trembled slightly, and she instinctively lowered her head to look at her toes.
Kitahara Makoto said softly:
"Can Tomori-chan fulfill it now?"
"I can..." Takamatsu Tomori turned her face away, her hands nervously clenched into small fists, "I-I'll prepare..."
A moment later.
Takamatsu Tomori lowered her head in discouragement, and the gravitational field once again surrounded her body.
She said in a low voice:
"Sorry, I can't smile..."
"..."
Kitahara Makoto suddenly felt a little heartache.
Even Bocchi-chan, who was super introverted and socially anxious, knew how to smile, but Tomori-chan couldn't smile... She truly was an extremely problematic girl.
"Then Tomori-chan should practice well tonight when you go home." Kitahara Makoto naturally wouldn't force her, saying softly, "Can you fulfill it tomorrow?"
Takamatsu Tomori nodded seriously: "Tomorrow, I will definitely fulfill it."
"Very good." Kitahara Makoto waved his hand, "See you tomorrow."
"...See you tomorrow."
Leaving the club activity room, Kitahara Makoto wasted no time and headed to the agreed-upon amusement park.
Next was the Tsundere Young Miss's amusement park time; he had promised, so he had to deliver.
Half an hour later.
At the amusement park entrance.
Kitahara Makoto's gaze swept around, and he quickly saw a beautiful girl with long brown hair standing in the shade nearby; it was Nagasaki Soyo.
"Sorry for making Nagasaki wait."
Kitahara Makoto stepped in front of the Tsundere Young Miss.
"Ah..."
Nagasaki Soyo let out a soft cry, quickly put away her phone, and a slightly forced expression of pleasant surprise appeared on her pretty face: "Good afternoon, Kitahara-kun, I just arrived too, so there's no need to apologize."
"It's a bit hot, I just bought two drinks." Nagasaki Soyo opened her backpack and took out two drinks.
Nagasaki Soyo's voice was gentle and sweet, her pretty face slightly tilted upwards, and her beautiful blue eyes were as blue as the sky above her head.
"...Which one would Kitahara-kun like to drink?"
It had to be said, this Tsundere Young Miss was a good actress.
Her voice was gentle, her smile sweet, and she always considered others, easily making people feel good about her... If Kitahara Makoto hadn't seen her true face in his dream, he might have really been fooled.
Kitahara Makoto's gaze swept over them: "Juice is fine."
"Okay." Nagasaki Soyo handed over the drink, "Shall we go into the amusement park first?"
The two quickly passed through the ticket gate and entered the amusement park.
"Eh, so many people." Nagasaki Soyo raised her hand to shade her eyes, slightly standing on her tiptoes, "I thought there would be fewer people in the afternoon."
Kitahara Makoto heard this and said:
"Coincidentally, others thought the same."
"..."
Nagasaki Soyo's lips twitched slightly, suppressing the urge to complain in her heart, and continued to speak in a gentle and sweet voice: "It's been a long time since I last came to an amusement park. Is there anything Kitahara-kun wants to play?"
"I haven't thought of anything yet," Kitahara Makoto said casually, "Shall we walk around and see?"
"Then let's walk around and see." Nagasaki Soyo clasped her hands, pressing down on her skirt, showing the demeanor of an elegant young lady.
"Speaking of which, this is my first time coming to an amusement park with a boy my age... How about Kitahara-kun?"
Kitahara Makoto spoke truthfully:
"It's also my first time coming to an amusement park with a girl."
Liar!
Commit seppuku!
You're already dating Togawa-chan, I don't believe you haven't been to a place like an amusement park!
To say you're coming to an amusement park for the first time, who would believe you!
With murderous intent in her heart, Tsundere Young Miss still maintained an elegant smile on her face: "Calling Nagasaki-san is too formal, Kitahara-kun can call me Soyo-san."
Kitahara Makoto: "...Soyo-san?"
"I'm here." Nagasaki Soyo tilted her head slightly, closed one eye, her voice sweet and playful, "Kitahara-kun~"
Kitahara Makoto: "..."
Acting!
It's all acting!
The gentle and sweet young miss in front of him was just a disguise; she couldn't fool him!
Half an hour later.
The two didn't play many attractions. Under Nagasaki Soyo's intentional or unintentional guidance, they unknowingly arrived in front of the Haunted House.
"Oh, it's the Haunted House." Nagasaki Soyo raised her hand to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, finally revealing her true objective: "The Haunted House doesn't seem to have a queue, Kitahara-kun, how about we go to the Haunted House?"
That's right.
The Haunted House was Nagasaki Soyo's true target.
In a terrifying environment, it's easy for two people to have physical contact. Then, as long as she hugged his arm, she didn't believe he wouldn't be tempted!
Her friend had said that boys, as long as they were still breathing, their lecherous instincts would never disappear!
So Nagasaki Soyo planned to sacrifice herself, expose Kitahara Makoto's terrible nature, and secretly record it. Then, as long as she presented the evidence to Togawa-chan, Togawa-chan would definitely come to her senses and return to everyone's side, right?
