A youth story of a passerby at the end of the world

Although the other person saved her and she was very grateful, she didn't feel anything at the time.

Besides, making a girl move a corpse is really outrageous. At the time, I thought: Ah, how can there be such a man in the world?

Even now, this idea remains unchanged.

At that time, she noticed that Yui would occasionally bring him up intentionally, yet she seemed completely oblivious. It seems that Yui liked that guy back then.

Not only that, she herself became more and more interested in him, and at the same time changed her opinion of him.

Occasionally, she would pretend to be nonchalant and respond to him on the street, then secretly glance at him.

With gloomy, decadent hair and listless eyes.

It was quite different from the dashing high ponytail and piercing eyes that left a deeper impression on her.

Not wanting others to see her like this, she looked away and then met Hayato's gaze.

Hayato smiled at her and praised her for her excellent work in the Organization Department, as well as her wonderful idea of ​​volunteering to help in the Culinary Department.

After all, he's Hayato; in his eyes, any action taken for the sake of everyone is right.

Well... if I had heard these words before, I would have been completely melted, no exaggeration.

But by then she no longer felt that way; she merely responded politely, keeping her turbulent emotions hidden in her heart.

After that, she realized she had stepped into a huge vortex.

Not only did she fall into an extremely complicated unrequited love, but it was also highly unlikely to have a happy ending.

Moreover, Yui also likes him, which leaves her at a loss for what to do.

Of course, that's not the most troublesome thing. What's more troublesome is that he seems to have a woman he likes.

The more she suppressed her feelings, the lonelier she became. And the lonelier she became, the more turbulent her restless heart became. Her desires grew ever stronger, almost to the point that she could hardly breathe.

So, after a period of intense repression, she found the only answer.

I want to make him my lover.

But how do we do it?

This reminded her of something she'd seen in a teen magazine called FairMaiden: How to get someone to confess their feelings – a special feature for girls in love.

First, cherish your body.

Before tearing off the other person's clothes and being completely naked, you must first ascertain their feelings and intentions.

At the very least, you need to know that the other person wants a real relationship, not just physical intimacy.

...While this point is indeed important, is it really too early to start thinking about this kind of thing?

At least she knew that he wasn't the kind of frivolous guy, no matter what.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have rejected a girl's confession in his first year of high school.

Hmph~, that pretty girl actually dared to brag that she'd known all along that he was a really great guy. Too bad~

What a pity!

Speaking of which, weren't those rumors initially spread from you? Back then, she went up to you and made sarcastic remarks, and they almost got into a fight. There's no need to let that guy know about this, and Yui didn't stop her.

The second point is to find common interests and hobbies.

Pretending doesn't count, because time will tell.

When two people are together, they definitely need to have some common topics to talk about. Sharing joy with each other will bring more than double the happiness.

The first thing to do is chat with him about trivial things, ask him questions, try to get to know him, and subtly find common ground, such as your favorite TV shows.

So... she went to the cooking department to learn how to cook.

But it seems he's just good at cooking, but doesn't really want to.

However, he also enjoys eating delicious food, and they are the same in this respect. Now, he no longer needs to worry about gaining weight.

The third point is to make his friends like you too.

She's already doing that.

Even with her classmate Hachiman, whom she used to look down on, she now gets along well with him.

And those female friends he has a good relationship with, at least he can't have conflicts with them.

This includes Yukinoshita and Kawasaki, with whom she had never felt particularly compatible before.

Hmm, thinking back on it carefully, I was indeed a bit of a jerk before, but I've changed that since I fell for him.

Fourth, introduce him to your friends.

He didn't need to introduce himself; he knew Ebina and Yui. Ebina was his good friend's girlfriend, and Yui was also a given.

Not to mention the boys, Hayato is his friend, while Tobe and the others are his subordinates.

Next, point five. Attract him physically.

Of course, I'm not talking about sex appeal.

Rather, if he likes black hair, then if your hair is also black... it will immediately make a deeper impression on him, and subconsciously he will be more attracted to you.

The reality is that if a guy isn't physically attracted to a girl, the chances of them developing a relationship are very slim.

So she subtly inquired with several of his friends, and only Feng Bin mentioned that the guy liked girls who wore long stockings.

...Upon hearing this, she immediately looked at the calf socks she was wearing. Although hers were relatively long, it seemed that he preferred the kind worn by Yukinoshita, Kasumigaoka, or Sakurajima.

She knew that most guys had this unique fetish to some extent, and some would even have their girlfriends wear what they called cosplay outfits, like police officers at night, to add some spice.

Ah, compared to that, liking stockings and pantyhose is pretty ordinary.

The sixth rule is not to keep trying to win someone over, and the seventh rule is to let him pursue you.

These two points can be viewed together.

The problem is, how do I get him to pursue me?

Also, if I ignore him, I'm pretty sure he won't talk to me either.

Besides, even if I don't take the initiative, other clueless girls will still try to get close to me.

The love letters in the shoe cabinet are proof of that. What's even more unacceptable is that he's soft-hearted and actually thought of taking the love letters back and then throwing them away.

She knew very well that such indecisive behavior would only embolden those people.

But that's just how he is... impossible to approach.

Ah, I'm even suddenly afraid he might say: Don't worry, I'm not interested in you.

Next, don't nag.

No one likes someone who constantly finds fault with them, whether they are a man or a woman.

But honestly, does he really have any flaws?

He seems to have no weaknesses; he can do almost everything that others can do, and he can do things that others may not be able to.

Of course, not counting his current skills, even before the appearance of zombies, he was the second in his grade in the humanities, and he only found out later that he was actually a popular novelist.

As for her personality, there's nothing to criticize; at least she's very satisfied.

Article 9 is coming up soon; I'll have an in-depth discussion with him.

It was because I wanted to learn more about him.

That's why she overcame her fear of zombies and dragged him along to fight them.

Of course, I also understand even more that he is indeed very capable, so what else is there to say?

Article 10: Go out on dates more often during the day.

And then I heard it, I heard it... that he already had a lover, two people...

My heart almost stopped when I heard that.

This is the second to last one: love yourself.

Don't be love-struck; truly understand what you want.

Understand yourself, and see the other person clearly.

A smart, confident, and independent girl will eventually attract a truly cultured boy.

If you don't love yourself, how can you expect others to love you?

After reflecting, she realized that compared to a superstar or a highly anticipated novelist, she was not that outstanding and had a somewhat awkward personality, but that was in the past!

And her goal was very clear: to get him.

Although the other party has two lovers, it's not simply a matter of being unfaithful or cheating, or having two relationships at the same time.

It's hard to believe that two such outstanding girls actually got along so well; at least, in her opinion, the happy expression on his face when he talked about it was genuine.

This inevitably reminded her of that idiot Yamato, how dare he have such guts.

The last thing is to give him a nickname.

It can also be called a nickname, which is a way to bring two people closer.

But... I often hear his nickname, so I'm a little unsure how to come up with one.

Even Yui has already been picked up. Ah, and so has Kasumigaoka.

She can't just call him Darling, Honey, or Danyang.

Phew... that's all the suggestions in the magazine. Maybe there are more, but I can't remember them all.

Of course... the most important thing is Yui.

Everything she did was based on Yui.

After all, she was the one who fell for him first, and at first I was quite happy to be his accomplice, but then...

Yui is her best friend, and she doesn't want to lose her friend no matter what, after all, she's so cute, isn't she?

But now it seems... there might be a solution.

If Kasumigaoka and Sakurajima can get along well, why can't she and Yui?

Strangely enough, it seems like this is actually better.

With Yui nodding, the last worry was gone.

Now comes the decisive moment.

Ah!

She opened the apartment door and stepped out.

The room lights were off; the only light came from the flickering screen on the television.

The end credits have arrived, but even with the black background and white text, the eerie background music is enough to send chills down your spine.

"Want to watch the next one?" Hayasaka Ai suggested, not wanting to miss out on the fun.

"No, no, no!" Fengbin Hexiang peeked out from her sister's arms, shaking her head desperately. Perhaps only her sister's body temperature could soothe her chilling panic.

"Hey, isn't this super interesting?" Although she was scared, Kaori Orimoto was quite intrigued. She was the kind of person who loved a good stunt, but unlike Ai Hayasaka, she genuinely found the movie interesting, rather than being scared.

Then she was glared at by Fengbin and Xiang, though they didn't actually glare at her; there were just too many people in between.

They neatly laid out their beds and blankets in the living room so they could go straight to sleep after watching the movie. However, the space wasn't large, and it felt quite crowded with so many people.

The table and other furniture were moved aside, and the bed was placed next to the sofa. In addition to lying down or sitting on the sofa, one could also lean against the sofa and sit in bed to watch.

However, almost no one sits on the sofa now. It's more comfortable when people are squeezed together, and since they are all girls, there's no need to be shy about anything.

Several people wanted to take a shower first and then watch the movie, thinking that this would prevent them from being too scared to go later. At this point, it seems that this was indeed the right thing to do.

As it turned out, two people never showed up, which Ebina Hina knew very well. But this meant that the bed in the living room should be big enough for them to sleep in. Well, it was a little disappointing.
