After hearing Yui's heartfelt thoughts, Shiro gently patted her head and said:
"Be a little more confident, you're not inferior to them in any way."
"Can't you have a bit more self-confidence? At least in my opinion. If we're being honest, Miura Yumiko isn't even worthy to carry your shoes."
"In any case, in my eyes, you're much better than her."
Shiro was telling the truth. Honestly, at best, she merely carried the title of "queen of popular students." She was pretty, yes, but unfortunately, she was the type who fell in love easily and followed blindly.
The type who gets led around by the nose.
And that kind of popularity only lasted within small school circles; in larger environments, it was worth nothing.
Yui Yuigahama blushed after hearing Shiro's words.
"No way, I don't seem as popular as Yumiko."
"No, no, no, be more confident."
"Putting everything else aside, your… attribute is a huge plus."
Yui Yuigahama's face instantly burst into flames with redness after realizing what Shiro meant, and she shyly said:
"Shiro, you're too perverted!"
Yui Yuigahama hadn't had that feeling before, but after realizing the meaning, the feeling came rushing in.
Shiro ignored her words and said mockingly:
"That's just how I am."
"After all, I'm not like those hypocrites on your side. If you like something, just say it."
Yui Yuigahama was stunned after hearing that, then asked curiously:
"Shiro, don't you like Hayama and the others?"
This was the first time Yui Yuigahama had heard Shiro's assessment of those guys in their group.
Shiro felt a slight headache looking at her sweet expression, then thought: "Right, they've only known each other for a short time. She hasn't seen through them yet."
"My evaluation of them is simple: as long as they don't mess with me, everything's fine."
"In your eyes, he's a popular and cheerful guy, but in reality, he's just imitating someone."
"Someone he's been in love with since childhood."
"Of course, it's enough for you to know this. There's no need to spread it around. After all, that's their business."
After that, Yui Yuigahama felt that things had become a bit complicated.
"By the way, Shiro, how do you even know about this? We don't know anything about it."
Shiro heard this and thought: "I can't exactly say I know because I watched the anime, right?" After all, the signs were quite obvious.
"Ahem, ahem. Mainly because the person he's in love with is Haruno, Yukino's older sister, so I have a slight understanding of that situation."
"In any case, just treat this as something you've heard. Honestly speaking, your group is nothing more than a girl who fell in love with a guy who fell in love with someone he'll never be able to have in his entire life."
Shiro gave the most accurate conclusion possible.
If another transmigrator had been present at that moment, they would definitely have applauded, because there wasn't a single thing wrong with his words.
Yui was completely stunned after hearing Shiro's conclusion.
However, after thinking about it, if things really were as Shiro said, then that situation really was… well.
"Then… should I try to advise Yumiko?"
After hearing this information, Yui's first thought was to try to advise her, since she considered her a friend.
Shiro immediately lightly tapped her on the forehead, without it hurting.
"Forget it, don't get involved in that. She'll realize it sooner or later on her own. If you tell her now, she'll definitely think you're trying to break them apart or something like that, and she might even turn against you. You hate losses the most, so there's no need to get involved in this mess."
"Just pretend you never heard this and focus on your own matters."
"After all, sometimes people have to see things clearly for themselves in order to succeed and for illusions to shatter. Giving advice now is useless, especially since you know her personality quite well."
Yui could only nod disappointedly after hearing this, mainly because she felt sorry that she couldn't warn her friend.
"Alright, let's stop worrying about those people."
"Yui, let me ask you again, do you accept my confession, or rather, my proposal?"
Yui Yuigahama blushed again after hearing this and stammered:
"Shiro, are you okay? How did a confession suddenly turn into a proposal?"
"Don't you think those are two completely different things?"
Yui made it clear that her brain wasn't functioning very well at the moment, because this logical jump was a bit too abrupt.
Shiro looked at her confused expression and realized that in some aspects, this Yui still didn't turn her head very quickly.
"Isn't it obvious? Didn't I already say it? You're mine, and no one can take you away. So what's the difference between a confession and a proposal? Do you think I'd let you go?"
Yui Yuigahama immediately understood, but then showed a bit of her temper.
"Shiro, isn't this a bit too domineering? What if I don't agree?"
The corners of Shiro's mouth curved into a smile as he teasingly said:
"I remember you have some domineering CEO novels in your room."
Yui was completely stunned after hearing this.
"How do you know about that? I remember putting them away."
At that moment, Yui Yuigahama felt terribly embarrassed, with huge question marks appearing above her head. What was going on? How did he know about that?
"Don't worry about how I know. What I want to tell you is this: if you don't agree, I'll play out the plot from those books with you."
"Simply put, I'll tie you to myself, whether you want it or not."
Yui Yuigahama heard this, felt the determination in his voice, and didn't waste any words, only nodding her head.
"Well… since you've put it that way, do I even have any other choice but to agree?"
"And honestly, when you confessed to me, rejecting you never even crossed my mind."
Yui didn't hesitate. After all, Shiro had finally confessed to her. What was there to reject?
It seemed that all her previous worries were completely unnecessary; she had overcomplicated everything.
Shiro didn't waste any time after seeing her agree and immediately bent down to kiss her.
Yui didn't expect Shiro to suddenly "attack" her like that. Her chair toppled over, but she didn't resist; she only stared at him in a daze.
And although Shiro wouldn't say it was his first time, nor that he had done it many times, it was easy for him to handle such things. After all, with his abilities, if there was something he couldn't easily learn, that would truly be unbelievable.
Thus, under his guidance, she also relaxed, but when they separated, she was breathing heavily, her face red.
Shiro thoughtfully patted her shoulder, then said mockingly:
"Don't breathe through your mouth. Learn to breathe through your nose."
After catching her breath, Yui shyly said:
"Shiro, how can you still tease me? You were the one who took advantage of the moment and suddenly attacked me, so I didn't even have time to react, okay?"
"Even if I hadn't won your heart, do you think I wouldn't know about these kinds of things?"
Yui looked at Shiro's smug expression, and it seemed as if something occurred to her. She immediately looked at him suspiciously and asked:
"Shiro, tell me honestly, have you done things like this with a lot of people?"
Shiro was stunned after hearing that. He felt that this question was difficult to answer.
"Ahem, ahem. It's already late. You should go home. Your mom is probably waiting."
Shiro decisively changed the subject, and Yui, his childhood friend, immediately realized that he felt guilty and that there must have been many other people.
"Hmph! Shiro, you really are a pervert."
Yui said this in an unhappy tone, then quietly muttered:
"I was the first. At the very least, if Mikan had been ahead of me, I wouldn't have minded."
"Jerk! Shiro, you big villain!"
