Cote : I Just Want to Grant Your Wish!

Chapter 686 - 686: Still so dumb

"Did senpai come just to see me?"Kaoru had initially thought she intended to do something to him.

He had been quite shameless earlier, yet she didn't seem to mind at all.

"Is that not allowed? It's been a while since we last talked. Men like you who can bring me enjoyment are quite rare."

Kiryuin Fuka glanced at Kaoru's food. "Being able to share a meal with a beautiful girl like me is your reward."

"Does senpai still have personal points?"Kaoru ate his lavish meal unhurriedly.

"You're not planning to lure me into doing something bad with you using Personal points, are you?"

Kiryuin Fuka eyed him suspiciously, since this was how they had played last time too.

"No, I just feel that I might need your help in the future, senpai, so I want to curry favor with you in advance."

Kaoru sounded somewhat regretful. "But even if you agreed, I don't have many Personal points right now."

Kiryuin Fuka's face twitched, unsure what expression to make.

"If you don't have Personal points, then why did you give me this watch?"

Hearing this, Kaoru turned his face away.

"Probably to earn your favor points, senpai. That way we can continue cooperating next time - I'll give you Personal points, and you'll step on me twice while wearing White stockings."

Kiryuin Fuka kept a straight face, trying hard not to laugh, but the corners of her mouth became increasingly difficult to suppress, until she finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.

What kind of mindset was this guy in to dare say such perverted things to her here?

Just thinking about his current identity gave Kiryuin Fuka a strong sense of dissonance.

Especially with his handsome face, it felt like a cold, elegant young lady secretly having special fetishes.

No good, she was going to die laughing here sooner or later!

"Are... are you really a pervert?"

Kiryuin Fuka shrugged her shoulders, forcibly suppressing her laughter. "Seriously, I've never met a man as perverted as you. Even if they look at me with lewd eyes, they wouldn't dare show the slightest hint of it openly. But you... pfft..."

By the end, Kiryuin Fuka still couldn't hold back. It was too amazing - this guy was just too entertaining!

Kaoru watched her laugh for a long time, feeling somewhat helpless. "I'm serious," he said.

Perhaps it was his calm expression that made Kiryuin Fuka stop laughing and reexamine his face.

"Although I am short on points, senpai, if a girl is too casual, it'll be hard to find a partner later."

Kiryuin Fuka smiled ambiguously. "May I ask Kaoru-kun's reason? Don't tell me it's some special fetish - I'm not interested in your special fetishes. And definitely don't say you just like my body."

Compared to others, Kiryuin Fuka's intuition was sharp. Unaffected by Kaoru's influence, she almost immediately identified the key point.

"I want to test whether I'm a lecherous person."

Kaoru said without blushing or his heart racing. "If I can feel completely unmoved by intimate contact with you, senpai, without any possessiveness, it would mean I'm just a lecherous person."

Kiryuin Fuka heard this explanation for the first time and found it particularly novel. "You mean that since you've had contact with Asahina and the others, you don't want to let them go? You don't know if it's physical possessiveness or coming from something else?"

Kaoru was surprised she could supplement it so completely.

"To be precise, I want to know if intimate contact will make my heart flutter for you, senpai."

Even though these were words taking advantage of her, Kiryuin Fuka fell into thought.

"It sounds like I'm the one at a disadvantage, but if it's just to the extent of holding hands..."

At this point, she suddenly flashed Kaoru a radiant smile. "You might regret it, Kaoru-kun."With her smile, Kaoru seemed to see shimmering aspirations radiating from her, his heart betraying him with several unsteady beats.

"Just kidding."

Kiryuin Fuka interrupted his racing heartbeat, her voice drifting lazily, "Just because you want an answer doesn't mean I have to accompany you. That would be absurd—after all, I'm quite an adorable young lady."

This was true. Kaoru had just been acting like he was coaxing some naive little girl, but Kiryuin Fuka was no child—how could she possibly fall for it?

"Alright, the plan failed."

Kaoru shook his head regretfully, "I thought you might have that kind of preference too, Senpai."

"Since when have I had such a preference?"

Kiryuin Fuka looked puzzled.

"Weren't you quite enthusiastic about stepping on me earlier, Senpai?"

Kaoru found this strange instead.

As the memory was somewhat distant, Kiryuin Fuka froze for a moment before suddenly blushing.

This girlishly shy expression made Kaoru stare in surprise.

"Well, it's just rare to see someone willingly kneel before me—I couldn't help feeling a bit excited."

Kiryuin Fuka seemed to have a stubborn streak too, "Compared to me, isn't Kaoru-kun the one with more problems?"

"What problems do I have? If I could hold Senpai's hand, I wouldn't need to kneel."

Though Kaoru didn't think the feeling was bad—after all, Senpai's stockings were smooth, and her jade feet held a certain appealing charm.

Kiryuin Fuka smiled faintly, "You don't seem angry. Even if I reject you, you don't mind?"

"Getting angry over Senpai's refusal—I don't think that counts as an equal exchange. It would just be forcing you to agree."

Kaoru glanced at her watch, "Though I do have impure intentions toward you, this watch is genuinely a birthday gift. I think it's cool, just fitting for a cute and stylish Senpai like you."

Kiryuin Fuka fell silent, and Kaoru didn't disturb her thoughts.

After they finished their meal, while leaving the cafeteria, Kiryuin Fiku suddenly bumped Kaoru with her shoulder.

"Want to hold hands?"

Her voice was clear and pleasant, her fingers lightly brushing against his.

Kaoru turned his face slightly, feeling her hair strands tickle the tip of his nose.

"I thought you weren't going to agree?"

He habitually retorted.

"You succeeded. I suddenly find it interesting."

Kiryuin Fuka gently hooked his finger before clasping his hand, "Does this make your heart race?"

Of course not—just as Kaoru was about to say it, he saw Senpai lean close, staring directly into his eyes.

Their breaths nearly intertwined.

In that instant, he felt his breathing halt.

"Strange..."

Kiryuin Fuka touched his chest, frowning slightly, "Your heartbeat is very calm."

"If even Senpai isn't shy, why would I be?"

At such close range, Kaoru noticed how strikingly beautiful this Senpai was—already showing signs of an elegant mature woman despite her youth, though with a bit of a delinquent vibe and a tendency to get handsy.

"You can't say that. This is my first time holding hands with a boy—I'm very shy."

Kiryuin Fuka pouted with a playful smile before pulling back, "If this isn't enough, do I need to reward you?"

Kaoru felt a stirring in his heart, but just as this thought emerged, Kiryuin Fuka released his hand at some unknown moment.

"I accept this challenge, but this isn't a transaction with you—I won't accept any payment."

Kiryuin Fuka spoke leisurely, "Even if you truly develop feelings for me, I won't be with you romantically. Being friends is something I can accept."

As she spoke, Kiryuin Fuka found it somewhat amusing that she would agree to such a thing.

"Be careful not to regret it in the future." Kaoru reminded her.

Kiryuin Fuka paid no mind to his warning.

Who was she? How could she possibly regret anything? The one who should be worried about regret was Kaoru.

But now, how should she make him develop feelings for her?

Kiryuin Fuka realized this was something she had never considered before.

She had always been free-spirited, her mind filled with thoughts of herself, and had never pondered such matters.

Perhaps it was precisely this realization that piqued her interest?

Kaoru watched her thoughtful expression and felt an inexplicable sense of anticipation.

However, just when he thought his plan was succeeding, unexpected events always seemed to occur.
