A reversal of fortune and victory in a world hated by all girls!

Isn't that right? If the other person changes their opinion of you, then from then on you will be the only boy she likes. This kind of loyalty to the relationship is incomparable to that of other ordinary couples.

As the saying goes, the higher the difficulty of the strategy, the better the final positive feedback. Shouldn't the rewards from such a strategy be even more exciting?

"Why did you suddenly think of calling me? This is quite unexpected," Natsuki Aoi asked while they were cycling.

Mito Takahashi frowned, then placed her phone on the flat surface in front of her and said, "My phone got wet and is ruined. The screen is completely black, and only a few touchscreen keys are still working. It just so happens that I can call back the last caller, so I called you. Did you think I did it on purpose?"

"Oh, I see."

Because the two of them had a phone call last night about getting Yoshi's dog license, he has become Takahashi Mito's latest contact person.

What a coincidence!

I ran into Ayano Takahashi when I went out, and now I've run into Mito Takahashi. I really can't escape my connection with the Takahashi family.

"Then why are you suddenly rowing a boat all by yourself? You don't seem like the type to have that kind of leisure time."

It seems rather strange that a rich family's young lady would go boating on a lake alone.

"..." Upon hearing this, Takahashi Mito suddenly lowered her head unusually, and her movements slowed down.

It seems like... something's on your mind?

Chapter 38 A Huge Breakthrough in Favorability!

Should I ask?

Aoi Natsuki hesitated. After dealing with this so-called favorability system a few times, he found that the same favorability of -40 was actually different for each person. Rina would almost avoid him when she was in a negative state, but although Takahashi Midori was rude, she could at least communicate with him normally. And there was also Takahashi Ayano, who was obviously more enthusiastic.

He needs to make a choice here.

Just like in visual novels, it might be an important branching path; if you miss it, you might lose everything.

Ahh.

I can't figure it out at all.

"Actually, it was my own private matter. I acted impulsively..." Mito Takahashi's face showed regret.

She actually answered the question on her own initiative.

This made Aoi Natsuki even more curious. It was then that he suddenly remembered that he had a keyword ability in his system. He had almost forgotten about such an important thing!

This keyword ability can extract keywords that can increase favorability with the currently selected object in real time. In this way, he can also roughly guess the direction by judgment, and the communication between the two will be smoother.

He quickly brought up the system panel and entered Takahashi Mito's name on it.

Then a new keyword appeared.

"family."

Aoi Natsuki's eyes widened slightly. Was this Takahashi Mito's unspeakable secret?

In his imagination, her terrible personality must have stemmed from being spoiled by her parents since childhood, and her resistance to them would manifest in her daily school life. That's how it should be.

But now it seems that the reality is quite the opposite of what he thought.

Having learned the general reason, he was now able to take direct action.

Is it related to your family?

Mito Takahashi's body stiffened, and her sharp gaze immediately turned towards him.

"How did you know?"

This question obviously has no answer.

Aoi Natsuki pulled herself a little further away and said, "I was just guessing. Judging from your expression, it's natural that I would guess that something happened in your family."

"Really? You guessed pretty accurately." Takahashi Mito kicked the board under her feet with her white high heels, her expression turning annoyed again. "My family is different from the family you grew up in. Sometimes, even simple fun is a luxury. Didn't you just ask me why I was boating on the lake alone?"

“Hmm.” Her sudden assertiveness elicited an instinctive response from Aoi Natsuki.

"Because this place is where my father first took me out, and I also went boating on the lake that day. It's one of the few happy family memories I have, so I wanted to relive it when I passed by today, but unfortunately..."

The scene of cherry blossoms in full bloom before her eyes from years ago flashed through Mito Takahashi's mind. She was lying on the side of a small boat, and she could never forget that sight.

"Don't worry, you will definitely see the cherry blossoms in full bloom again, with your parents."

"That's what Natsuki Aoi said sincerely."

This time, Takahashi Mi didn't mock them anymore. Instead, she smiled slightly and nodded, "I hope so, but they are all busy with work. My mother is going abroad for a year next year, so it may be difficult to have such an opportunity again."

Aoi Natsuki pursed her upper lip: "Actually, my parents also often go on business trips. I haven't seen them often since junior high school. Now I'm in high school, and my parents have been away on business trips for almost three months. I heard they won't be back for another two months. I can probably empathize with your feelings a little."

"So you're the same way?" Takahashi Mito looked at him in surprise.

So this annoying guy had a similar experience too?

"Favorability +2"

"Favorability +2"

Aoi Natsuki was simply expressing her feelings without any intention of accidentally colliding with her.

There used to be a saying about dating: when a guy pursues a girl, he shouldn't show too much neediness. Too much neediness will make the girl run away. So, in the process of seemingly winning her over, downplaying this aspect of the relationship will actually lead to a steady increase in popularity.

Aoi Natsuki simply nodded, regained her strength, and gradually increased the speed of her pedaling. Perhaps because of the conversation just now, Takahashi Mito did not stand by like a young lady this time, but instead rode along with her.

Once we arrived at the rental and return point, we explained the situation to the staff and then left.

The two walked along Kitanomaru Park, where the scenery was quite nice. The stone steps led through the lush greenery, and as they walked, the atmosphere gradually began to change.

It feels like the two of them are out for a spring outing together.

Aoi Natsuki noticed this, and the perceptive Takahashi Mito naturally reacted in the same way.

I stole a glance at her increasingly anxious expression; she seemed to be on the verge of exploding.

Do you really not want to be with him...?

Natsuki Aoi looked around and then saw a road sign in the distance. Pointing in that direction, she said, "There's no road sign. The exit should be marked."

"Oh." Takahashi Mito simply replied, and the next second she quickened her pace and walked up. Soon the two were about ten meters apart, and after looking at the road sign, she didn't even say goodbye, and quickly walked away to the right.

That's way too hasty.

Aoi Natsuki also arrived at the road sign. Sure enough, the exit was on the right. He turned right and prepared to leave. Today's unexpected little episode had at least yielded some results. His attention glanced at the shopping bag he was carrying in his right hand, inside which lay the rag doll he was going to give to Rina.

Thinking about this made me feel much better.

He also needs to hurry home.

Immediately, their steps became more cheerful, and they quickly moved towards the exit.

But before they had gone far, they saw Takahashi Mito running back in the distance. When she saw him heading towards the exit, she slowed down and became reserved again. The two met once more.

"Why are you back again?"

"..." Takahashi Mito immediately glared at him, while Aoi Natsuki was also full of question marks.

"Lend me some money, I need to take a taxi."

"Huh? You wouldn't have...!" Aoi Natsuki seemed to have guessed the reason she borrowed money, her face turned red instantly, and her right hand immediately clenched into a fist.

Aoi Natsuki instantly took two steps back, her hands in a defensive stance. She was well aware of Aoi's fighting prowess and knew that being prepared was the best course of action.

"Violent opposition!"

"Hmph." Takahashi Mito seemed very angry, but she also agreed with this point of view.

Aoi Natsuki then felt her pocket, took out a bus card, and handed it over.

Here, take it.

"What? Can't you just lend me the money directly?"

"You're such a rich young lady who doesn't understand the hardships of life. Ordinary people can't afford to take a taxi, and besides, I don't have that much money. But I have a bus card, so you can take the bus home one stop at a time."

Takahashi Mito stared intently at him, and the atmosphere between the two instantly turned icy. Aoi Natsuki was ready to fight back. He had learned from his previous experience that if the other party tried to use his legs, he, as a boy, would have a greater advantage in close combat!

"Fine! That's it!" Takahashi Mito stepped forward, snatched the bus card from his hand, and left without a thank you.

what……

Aoi Natsuki stopped what she was doing and looked at her back.

Although this girl has a very proud personality, she has finally made a breakthrough at this moment.

Just a second ago, the favorability rating officially dropped to -30...

Chapter 39 After all, she's a tsundere.

Aoi Natsuki doesn't dislike Takahashi. If she were to be described as an animal, she would be more like a hedgehog. But hedgehogs are quite magical; they are pets, and when they are gentle, they are not prickly at all when held in your hands.

At least in this respect, Mito Takahashi did a good job. She didn't deliberately offend anyone. She had a bad personality and didn't have many friends. She didn't expect to make friends either. She was like a hedgehog covered in thorns. At this time, Natsuki Aoi still saw through her soft side.

That's why he never gave up on her; she wasn't a bad person at heart, just a bit arrogant by nature.

Aoi Natsuki exhaled a breath. Right now, he only hoped that when the favorability rating truly reversed to zero, the other party's attitude towards him would also change.

……

on Monday.

Aoi Natsuki went to school as usual, and with the school's first monthly exam coming up soon, he needed to prepare.

His grades were above average, so he could handle things with ease. But his good friend Yusuke was in a bad situation. He told us that he had neglected his studies because of playing basketball. After all, studying is a very important part of being a student.

In response, Natsuki Aoi offered to tutor him, and Yusuke was deeply grateful. The two would review their lessons in their spare time.

Hmm? Shouldn't this kind of scene involve the male and female leads studying together?

Reality really is reality; we shouldn't project those comic book scenarios into real life, okay?

During the break between the third and fourth periods, Aoi Natsuki got up to go to the restroom, but as soon as he stepped out the back door, he felt several malicious gazes falling on him.

amount……

He's pretty used to it now, but it's still quite rare to see someone so blatantly display malice.

He glanced at them out of the corner of his eye and saw a few rebellious gyaru girls with dyed hair and pierced ears. Gyaru is a long-standing tradition in Japan, and the serious cases can even rival China's non-mainstream culture. Their lips and the area around their eyes are painted white, but their skin is tanned, creating an exaggerated visual impact.

The favorability ratings of these people were also displayed in front of him, which surprised him; they were surprisingly quite high.
