He was admiring the sunset when he looked at it.
But wake up, he had to deal with reality!
"Yu, I appreciate you accepting my invitation."
"Me too, Thank you, Sensei, for the invitation."
Right now, Kanakura Yui and Ishigami Yu are seated across from each other in an open restaurant.
They start talking once they finish their meal.
"Mo! Just give me a call on my name. We are no longer in the academy. Yui or Yui-nee. Call me by name if you'd like, however I really prefer Yui-nee."
"I'm afraid I can't do that, Kanakura-sensei."
He smiled wrily as he felt the pain in his hands.
Beside him, Shinomiya Kaguya is pinching his hand while looking at him with bloodlust.
Ishigami Yu doesn't know if he is just imagining things, but Shinomiya Kaguya has a demon face right now.
With his title, Harem Protagonist, he knows that Shinomiya Kaguya fell in love with him; however, he knows that she is a monomial in terms of love. That's why he is subjective about whether he will continue to pursue her or not.
Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on someone's perspective, he decided to continue his persuasion.
One day, she will accept his standing—is something he thought.
Anyway, back to the story.
Earlier, Kanakura Yui was leaning on the wall outside the academy gate for several minutes, waiting for Ishigami Yu.
By the twist of fate, Shinomiya Kaguya is with him, so she got caught on surprise that she heard her call him, darling.
Something breaks her mind and turns on her yandere mode.
However, he was able to get out of the situation when Kanakura Yui pushed her business with him to invite Ishigami Yu to have dinner with him.
Shinomiya Kaguya didn't let this slide, so she forced herself onto their dinner date.
And that's how they got here.
It was supposed to be a dinner date, but Kanakura Yui isn't mad about it; rather, she is more happy that Shinomiya Kaguya came along.
Kanakura Yui wanted to talk about something important to Ishigami Yu, but she thought that she had more time, so she decided to abandon the idea and enjoy the moments with them.
After pinching him, Shinomiya Kaguya looked at Kanakura Yui.
Kanakura Yui just smiles happily while being wary of her.
"Shinomiya Kaguya, isn't it? "
She is stunned when she calls her name, but she immediately replies yes, as she nodded while her guard was still raised against her.
"Then Shinomiya-san. Do you like Yu? "
*Baam!
"HA!"
Shinomiya Kaguya reacts as she slams the table.
Her face turned red as she felt shy at this moment.
She unconsciously looks at Ishigami Yu while her body shivers in nervousness.
Shinomiya Kaguya didn't expect Kanakura Yui to say this in front of him.
However, how does she know that? — is something Shinomiya Kaguya thought with confusion.
But before that, she needed to say something, or Ishigami Yu might notice her feelings.
"Y—No! ...… Ah! "
Immediately, Shinomiya Kaguya regrets that she said this.
She feels that it's already the end of the world because of the thought that Ishigami Yu might be fooled by her lie.
Unfortunately, at this table, no one is an idiot to not know that she is just under pressure and lied in an instant as some kind of defense mechanism to protect herself.
Still, Kanakura Yui gives her a way.
"Are you sure about it? "
Hearing that she could make a comeback, Shinomiya Kaguya didn't pass on this chance.
Unfortunately, because of this, she didn't expect that her passion would immediately erupt.
"No, I like him! I love him! "
She stood up and said this.
The surrounding people were stunned but didn't care about this.
Noticing herself, Shinomiya Kaguya's face immediately turns red as she slowly looks at Ishigami Yu.
He, who heard this, didn't expect that she would confess.
Now, this made him feel internally conflicted since he wanted to be the one to confess.
If she is the only one who confesses and gives her a pleasant answer, then he couldn't take Fujiwara Chika either, after all.
In this life, he wanted to not be shackled to his past; however, loving more than one girl didn't mean that he was once the playboy he was, who only played around and did not make seriousness about everything in his life.
Looking at her red face, Ishigami Yu just smiled as she slowly sat.
Then he whispered in her ear, "I'm happy to hear it, but I wanted to be the one who confessed to you."
He holds her hand, looks into her eyes, and continues, "I also like you."
Hearing his first words, she couldn't contain her throbbing heart, but the next line made her mad.
"But... I also like Alice and senior Fujiwara."
*slap!
Shinomiya Kaguya stood up after she slapped him as she wanted to leave, but he held her hands as she stopped and said, "I will wait for your answer."
He let go of her hands as she walked away from the open restaurant and went home.
