Chapter 781

The next day, Ryuji returned home.

　　"Welcome back."

　　He is greeted by Futaba.

　　"Um, I'm back," Ryuji nodded and put on his indoor shoes.

　　"Even though you went out at night, I didn't expect that you actually stayed up all night," Futaba said.

　　"Don't worry, I didn't go to the hotel, it was at your house."

　　"This makes it even worse," Futaba suddenly became nervous, "Nothing happened yesterday, right?"

　　Even though Futaba is also herself, she might do something impulsive.

　　"It's just a simple sleep," Ryuji looked calm.

　　"Explain to me clearly!"

　　Ryuji shrugged and told her everything that happened yesterday.

　　"Ugh!" Futaba covered her face with a pillow.

　　"I said so, am I an idiot?"

　　Only in retrospect could she realize how embarrassing what she had said was, and how she would never be able to do it.

　　"As expected of the same person, the ponytailed Futaba also did the same today," Ryuji said.

　　Futaba buried her head deeper.

　　"So what do you think now? Do you want to keep getting into trouble?" Ryuji asked.

　　"It's not like there's a problem," Futaba snorted, "I just hate myself that way."

　　This kind of stubbornness is really good!

　　"Don't make things difficult for me. I'm really not good at babysitting people," Ryuji sighed.

　　"Is there anything wrong with hating yourself? Humans are basically complex creatures full of contradictions."

　　Futaba didn't say anything.

　　"I really hated the person I used to be, and right now I'm working hard to become the kind of person I don't hate."

　　"What was Hyakki like in the past?" Futaba asked curiously.

　　Ryuji thought for a moment and said: "Very otaku."

　　"Isn't it the same now?" Futaba rolled her eyes.

　　"Of course it's different," Ryuji said proudly, "Now I have a girlfriend."

　　"In short, what I want to say is that there is nothing wrong with hating yourself. Be a little positive and never be the person you hate."

　　"Isn't it time to persuade people to like you a little?"

　　"I already said that I'm not suited to say something like that," Ryuji said while shaking his head.

　　"Everyone has the right to choose, and I'm not going to ask you what to do."

　　"But I said it to Futaba yesterday, so I'll say it to you again now."

　　"You don't have to worry about being alone anymore. Whether it's me, Sakuta or Kunimi, they are all your friends."

　　Ryuji had goosebumps all over his body, he was still not good at saying things like that.

　　"So slippery…" Futaba shed tears from the corners of her eyes while smiling, "I really lost to you."

　　Lectures may be outdated, but they are still useful.

　　Futaba herself understood this, so the persuasion was effective.

　　Ryuji handed the phone to Futaba, "You have to tell her something."

　　Futaba dialed a familiar number and heard a familiar voice after connecting.

　　"It's me," Futaba said.

　　"Hyakki has talked to me, and I have something to tell you."

Futaba took a deep breath and said loudly: "I still hate you the most!"

　　Without any warning, Futaba disappeared from sight.

　　 Ryuji was fast and he caught the phone that was about to fall.

　　It was so dangerous that the phone screen almost broke.

　　When the time comes, it will definitely be impossible to replace the screen alone, and he will probably replace the phone directly. But this way, the content stored on the phone has to be restored, which is a hassle just thinking about it.

　　"Hyakki?"

　　"I am here."

　　It was Futaba's voice on the phone.

　　"Healed?" Ryuji asked.

　　"I think so, thank you."

　　"I will accept your thanks well and I will ask you to pay it back without hesitation the next time I encounter trouble."

　　"Be humble," Futaba said with a smile.

　　"By the way, that's..."

　　"Is there anything else?" Ryuji asked.

　　"...There's a fireworks display next week, call Kunimi and Azusagawa, let's go together."

　　Japan likes to hold fireworks displays when there is nothing to do, especially in summer.

　　"Next week? I don't know if I have time."

　　Ryuji didn't immediately agree.

　　His vacation turned out to be not as relaxing as he imagined, if he had time, of course he would try his best to spend time with his girlfriend.

　　 "Oh…" Futaba's tone was clearly disappointed.

　　"So don't tell Sakuta and the others now. I'll contact you when I'm free." Ryuji thought for a moment and said.

　　Futaba was overjoyed, "Yes!"

　　After hanging up the phone, Futaba's incident was completely resolved.

　　Ryuji thought that during this period, this puberty syndrome finally subsided for a while. Unexpectedly, he meets Futaba again.

　　So, how is puberty syndrome formed?
