Su Yu picked up the phone and placed it in front of her.
Eriri Sawamura turned pale when she saw Tomoya Aki's reply.
"I wish you happiness."
Those few simple words shattered Eriri Sawamura's hopes.
Su Yu put his phone away without saying a word.
Eriri Sawamura lowered her head.
A few minutes later.
Tears streamed down her face.
To be blessed by someone you like.
This is the last thing Eriri Sawamura wanted to see.
Aki Tomoya didn't come to save her either.
Her hopes were completely dashed.
Su Yu got up and went to Sawamura Eriri's side.
Eriri Sawamura looked up at Su Yu.
"Do you... do you have any other ideas?"
"Given the situation, what other options do you think there are?"
"..."
"Actually, if you take the initiative to confess now, you might still be able to win his favor. However, a relationship like that would require you to keep giving in order to maintain your happiness."
"We've known each other since kindergarten, and I've always liked him. Why doesn't he like me back?"
"Childhood sweethearts often fail because they are too familiar with each other and there is no feeling of romance."
Su Yu offered an explanation.
Actually, the reason why Eriri Sawamura and Tomoya Aki couldn't end up together is quite simple.
Eriri Sawamura is a tsundere; how could a typical guy possibly understand tsundere?
Aki Tomoya always thought that he was disliked by Sawamura Eriri, and he had no idea what Sawamura Eriri was thinking.
In addition, Su Yu's words...
Aki Tomoya assumed that Su Yu and Sawamura Eriri's relationship had progressed to the level of a couple, so he naturally wouldn't come to stop them.
Eriri Sawamura lowered her head in disappointment.
Seeing this, Su Yu felt that the time was about right.
"Yinglili."
"Ok?"
"Actually, Aki Tomo didn't come to save you because of me."
"You...what did you say?"
Eriri Sawamura was stunned.
Su Yu took out his phone, found a video, and pressed play.
"Yes, you are very courageous."
"I just did what I was supposed to do."
"One million yen."
"You...what did you say?"
"I'll give you one million yen, and you can leave me and Eriri alone."
"Eri is my friend, I won't..."
"Ten million yen."
"..."
"I'll give you more than ten million yen..."
"Let me think about it."
Eriri Sawamura's eyes widened.
When she heard the end, she fell completely silent.
Su Yu put down her phone.
“That’s right. I used ten million yen and an opportunity to make Aki Tomoya choose not to get involved in this matter.”
"Why...why did you do this?"
"for you."
"I?"
"Yes, I think you're cute."
"you you…"
Eriri Sawamura was speechless for a moment.
Su Yu held her little hand.
“You’re a tsundere. Aki Tomoya thought you always disliked him, so he never developed any feelings for you.”
"He's ignoring you during summer vacation because he's working."
"I'm ignoring you after school starts because I'm worried others will misunderstand."
"However, this also shows that he has no feelings for you. If he liked you, he would definitely take the initiative to contact you."
Eriri Sawamura finally understood after hearing this.
"Is it...it's my fault?"
"Yes."
"Why...why are you telling me all this?"
"If I were to hide anything from you at this point, how could I claim to like you?"
Su Yu stared directly at Eriri Sawamura.
Eriri Sawamura lowered her head.
"I...I don't know what to do..."
“My feelings for you are my own business, and you don’t need to worry about how to answer me. Now that you understand Aki Tomoya’s thoughts, my plan has succeeded.”
"So, your plan is to make me face reality?"
"Yes. If you can accept this result, it means I have succeeded. If you can't accept it and still like Aki Tomoya, then it only means I have failed."
Su Yu gave a summary.
Eriri Sawamura looked up.
"You...you succeeded."
……
Eriri Sawamura came to terms with reality.
Her feelings for Aki Tomoya completely disappeared.
Simultaneously.
She also realized that her arrogance would be misunderstood.
but…
"I like the tsundere Eriri."
These were the words Su Yu said to her as he left.
And now...
Su Yu was riding his bicycle, taking her home.
Eriri Sawamura grabbed Su Yu's clothes.
She watched Su Yu's retreating figure.
Long ago, she had imagined Aki Tomoya riding his bicycle and taking her home.
Now, Su Yu's wish has been fulfilled.
She did not feel disappointed.
The opposite of.
She developed feelings for Su Yu.
"Eri Sawamura's favorability +30"
Su Yu heard the system notification and thought to himself that the system was really sensible.
Imagine you're riding a bicycle and a virtual screen suddenly pops up in front of you with information.
That would greatly affect his vision.
After half an hour.
The bicycle was parked in front of the Sawamura house.
Eriri Sawamura got off the bus.
"Thank you for sending me back."
"You've thought about a lot of things along the way, haven't you?"
"Ah."
"Shall we start as friends? I'm actually a terrible person; while I like you, I also like other girls."
"Let's start as friends." Eriri Sawamura thought Su Yu was joking.
"Then I'll head back now," Su Yu said with a slight smile.
Eriri Sawamura stood still, watching Su Yu walk further and further away.
……
When Su Yu returned home.
Saki Kawasaki is preparing dinner.
Su Yu walked into the kitchen and hugged her.
"I went shopping with Yukino Yukinoshita this afternoon, and just dropped Eriri Sawamura off at home."
"You didn't have to tell me."
Kawasaki Saki paused for a moment before speaking.
Su Yu held her small hand.
"Being bad is my weakness, but being honest is my strength. Can you accept that?"
"I…"
Chapter 21, I'll make you number one!
After dinner.
Saki Kawasaki washed the dishes.
Get out of the kitchen.
She took out snacks and drinks from the refrigerator and came to Su Yu's side.
"Do you have an answer yet?" Su Yu asked.
