A guide to survival in a heavy girl's world

Huh? She really hadn't revealed herself, had she?! While she had secretly moved a stool next to Chihaya-san and peeked at his profile before, other than that, she hadn't done or said anything! And considering Chihaya-san's thoughtfulness, his direct questioning only proved he didn't know the truth she was hiding!

Thinking of this, the panic in her heart suddenly dissipated, but was replaced by further confusion.

"So... what on earth did Chihaya-nii go through that made him so curious about this kind of question?"

Did Hoshino Ai confess her feelings to him again? But by now, Chihaya-san shouldn't have any special reaction to such a natural thing, right?

I don't understand.

Even though she had only been away from the studio for a few days, she felt as if she had inexplicably missed something very important.

Full of confusion and bewilderment, Toyokawa Shoko thought for a moment, then replied:

……

[Men like Chihaya-san are ideal partners for all girls.]

"……Really?"

Faced with such an affirmative answer, Chihaya Tetsu couldn't help but subconsciously have doubts.

After all, before this, he had always considered himself a boring person who "could do nothing but make clothes." Coupled with his extremely rigid concept of love, this infinitely lowered his self-esteem...

"Could this be a specially embellished answer from Toyokawa's gratitude to me?"

Looking at this exaggerated scope that was not just "Toyokawa Shoko herself" but "all girls", Chihaya Tetsu couldn't help but think so.

After all, he also had a certain degree of care and favor towards Toyokawa Shoko. Perhaps she was understanding of his feelings and that was why she said such seemingly polite words...

If you want to get an answer that is closer to the facts, you really can't ask someone who has a good relationship with him.

Is there any girl who has always had some conflicts with him, or even dislikes him a little?

Ah, it really exists.

Thinking of this, Chihaya Tetsuya immediately opened the chat window of Nagasaki Suyo and asked the question again -

48

Chapter 48: No method has yet been found to shorten the input time.

"……what?"

Nagasaki Suyo, who was about to go to bed, suddenly lost all desire to sleep after seeing the news from Chihaya Tetsuya.

How do you look at him from the perspective of the opposite sex? Why would this guy suddenly ask such a strange question at this time?

Nagasaki Motoyo, suddenly confronted with such a direct question, subconsciously responded with her usual slightly sarcastic tone:

Why are you asking me this question? Does my opinion matter?

This guy is being pursued madly by a super popular idol, so why not just ask her this question?

Nagasaki Suyo couldn't help but curl her lips and think.

However, when she saw Chihaya Tetsuya's reply, the displeasure on her face instantly disappeared, and gradually turned into disbelief -

[It is very important. To some extent, Su Shi’s answer is the most important to me.]

"?!?!?!"

These shocking remarks almost made Nagasaki Suyo smash her phone on her face, and the next second, a sense of surprise that caught her off guard also surged into her heart.

Eh? Was she seeing things right? What did this person just say? Her answer was the most important!?

There was absolutely no way she would miss that extremely clear and conspicuous word.

Generally speaking, the word "most" only appears after comparison. In other words, in Chihaya Tetsuya's opinion, her answer is more important than Hoshino Ai's...

For a moment, Nagasaki Suyo lost her usual composure, and an obvious blush crept up her cheeks.

Her rationality told her that the original meaning of these words was definitely not what she thought. However, even so, she could not control the joy that welled up in her heart because of this ambiguity.

"Huh... No, calm down."

Realizing that her mentality was a little abnormal, Nagasaki Suyo quickly put down her phone and took a deep breath.

"You've known him for a long time, and this guy often says things like this that can lead to misunderstandings. Don't misunderstand me, and don't overthink it. Just keep calm."

After repeating these words in her mind several times, Nagasaki Motoyo picked up the phone again.

Chihaya Tetsuya wasn't the type to ask questions without a clear purpose. Since he'd asked this question, it meant he was truly eager to know the answer. Although she didn't know exactly what was going on, since this guy was seeking help, whether as his "assistant" or in some other capacity, she had no reason to refuse him.

Besides... the fact that Chihaya Tetsu took the initiative to find her after encountering problems was enough to explain a lot of things. She had no need to feel anxious about it.

After calming down completely, Nagasaki Suyo typed:

……

[Given your personality, you probably want to hear the truth from me, right?]

【Of course. 】

Chihaya Tetsuya replied.

Please tell me your honest opinion.

[Okay, that’s what you said.]

Following this disturbing opening sentence, a long string of text soon flooded into the narrow chat box:

So, the first point is a lack of self-awareness! Not only do you not realize how your words and actions can lead to misunderstandings among girls, you don't even have any awareness of your own strengths! Not only do you take your tolerance and consideration for granted, you even downplay everything you've done. This only makes those girls who receive your care but have no way to repay you feel anxious, and it forces them to take further action!

The second point is cunning! The identity of a fashion designer has a natural appeal to girls, and yet you, a guy, use this identity to do so many cunning things! Whether it's your taste in clothing or the gentleness and reliability you show through your knowledge of clothing, it's really unfair to girls!

[Finally, and this is what I consider most important, your lifestyle is terrible, and your physical condition is truly unhealthy! Besides the maternal instincts that might normally be triggered, it's also very likely to trigger the "sadistic desires" of someone like Hoshino Ai! However, as your assistant, I will slowly help you recover from this, and I hope you'll cooperate with me when the time comes.]

"..."

Chihaya Tetsuya stared blankly through the long string of responses. He was stunned for a moment before asking:

[Are these... criticizing me or praising me? ]

【You understand it yourself! 】

Nagasaki Suyo attached an angry emoji symbol.

Don’t assume that everyone can speak their mind as candidly as you do!

[…Okay, I’ll think about it carefully later.]

Chihaya Tetsuya responded seriously to this, and then continued to ask the second question he had just asked Toyokawa -

[So, for Su Shi, would you want to date a man like this? ]

……

"Damn it, this guy!"

Nagasaki Suyo slapped the bed in shame and anger.

"Although I know he definitely didn't mean it, it's too much to ask someone's feelings so simply and rudely!"

Nagasaki Suyo knew very well that even if she answered frankly "I want to date", Chihaya Tetsuya would never understand it in that direction, and would only regard it as an answer with reference value.

But even so, she still didn't want to admit it!

"If I really answer 'yes', I'll feel like I've lost to this guy in some way."

Nagasaki Suyo gritted her teeth and muttered:

"But if I give a negative answer, this serious guy might see it as a 'rejection' and cause him to have strange concerns, which would be even more annoying."

The former will make her lose her girlish modesty and dignity, while the latter will even destroy precious possibilities.

Is there a smarter answer that would make my stance clear without being too direct?

……

……

"Ah, yes."

Nagasaki Suyo suddenly had an idea, and then she picked up her phone again and typed:

I don’t know. I’ve never dated anyone.

She replied like this first, and then when she saw the other party's "typing" prompt appear in the chat box, she couldn't help but send the second sentence that she originally intended to write only for herself -

"But I think I'd be happy, right? It's just my guess."

After sending this somewhat roundabout second reply, Nagasaki Suyo fell back onto the bed.

"There's no need to ask such questions, right? You'll definitely be very happy... you idiot."

If I could really date him, not only would I be able to see him every day, but I could also act like a spoiled child to him without a care in the world, just like Chihaya Aine did, and enjoy his meticulous care and love...

...Alas, compared to Hoshino Ai, that guy is indeed more enviable.

“I hope the May Live can really go smoothly.”

After all... it's really too slow.

Whether it was the one-hour drive or how fast this guy could type.

Looking at the worrying "typing" prompt, Nagasaki Suyo was prepared to suffer from insomnia.

Chapter 49: Dual Advisory Identity.

[I see, this should be a compliment to me, right?]

As expected, Chihaya Tetsuya's reply was still filled with confusion, as if he had no idea what was going on.

However, just when Nagasaki Suyo thought that this conversation would come to a conclusive end, his next reply made her stunned.

Thanks to Su Shi, I now have a rough idea of ​​how girls view me... It seems I'm still a long way from being able to date a woman.

[Eh...how did you come to this conclusion?]

Nagasaki Suyo was extremely confused.

[My answer just now shouldn't have denied you to that extent, right?]

[It's not as simple as a yes or no, it's just because I suddenly realized that I don't seem to be able to understand girls' needs and thoughts very well right now.]

Chihaya Tetsuya replied:

Although I'm now well aware that dating and marriage are not the same thing, no matter what, if two people want to be together, being in sync is the most basic requirement... Su Shi, you should be able to sense this, right? I'm a person who lacks common sense. Whether it's emotional common sense or common sense in life, I'm very different from others.

[But even so, I can't put other people's feelings aside forever, and I don't want to really delay other people's lives because of my own shortcomings. So... for the future, I need someone who can discuss these things with me.]

……

[I know this request may be a bit abrupt...but could you please continue to be my advisor from now on?]

Before uttering the last sentence, Chihaya Tetsu hesitated for nearly a minute.

It is indeed shameful to use your own personal affairs to occupy other people's personal time, but at this time, the only person he can think of to discuss with is Nagasaki Suyo.

Ai and Aine, who had clearly expressed their feelings to him, were naturally out of the question. Toyokawa couldn't offer a completely objective opinion due to the unequal relationship between them. Only Nagasaki Suyo's situation was the most special.

First of all, because of her mother's help to herself, even if there is a premise of helping her to resolve her emotional problems, there is no debt relationship between the two of them. Secondly, compared with other girls, her way of thinking is mature enough. Finally, and most importantly, she does not have any special feelings for herself, and sometimes even responds to herself with a rather "unfriendly" and "harsh" tone!

At this point, an answer full of concerns and thoughts is far from enough to make Chihaya Tetsuya wake up. For him, who lacks common sense and urgently needs others to remind him, such a person can be said to be the perfect negotiation partner!

For various considerations, although it was a bit embarrassing, he still took the initiative to make this request to Nagasaki Suyo, and at the same time he was mentally prepared to be rejected.

But then, to his surprise, Nagasaki Motoyo not only did not refuse, but instead responded immediately at a speed beyond his imagination:

No problem, I'm always welcome.

……

"...While I don't know what conclusion he's reached, this is a great opportunity to learn about his current situation."

Nagasaki Suyo muttered so.

And regardless of the reason, since Chihaya Tetsu is willing to entrust me with such an important matter, it should be enough to show his trust in me.

In this way, besides being able to keep abreast of his recent situation and thoughts, I can even use this negotiation method to induce him to reveal the type of opposite sex he likes...

All benefits and no harm!
