Chapter 350: Unhealthy Drama

Regardless of what had happened to Yumiko and Hayama, Tobe had decided to take Yukinoshita on a date later after school.

As for where he would take her, let’s keep it a secret, since he had a place where she would be truly happy.

Still, he had to say, being popular was quite hard since he had to work hard to make money, improve himself, and also take care of many women with whom he was close.

Shiori and Haruno were fine since they had gone all the way with him, but for those with an ambiguous relationship with him, Tobe had to say that they needed extra care.

’Now, what about Yumiko?’

While Tobe had noticed the strangeness in Yumiko, a certain part of him had thought of a crazy possibility, but it was hard for him to bring himself to believe it or to ask that question directly to Yumiko and Hayama, who acted a little awkward between the two.

No, the awkward one was Yumiko, but Hayama acted as usual.

Still, when Tobe returned to the class, he looked at the two for a while before deciding not to say anything since it was quite troublesome. Moreover, it was good to know that Yumiko and Hayama, if the two were somehow dating each other, considering how Yumiko was quite touchy lately.

Yet, without a doubt, if their relationship was formed due to Yukinoshita for some reason, it made him a little scared, as the love of his girlfriend was too heavy.

’Hmm?’

However, when Tobe glanced in the direction of Yumiko, she also happened to look at him, and when their eyes met, he could see an awkwardness, hesitation, and even a longing. It was weird, yet also made him quite helpless since it made him think about what he shouldn’t, and to not make it worse, he thought to settle the doubt later.

’Is it because of this reward?’

The reward that he gained from Haruno last time was just too... buggy, he thought.

This reward could work like brainwashing, yet somehow, also like an aphrodisiac, too, which made him helpless.

Feels Good.

This was the ability that he gained from Haruno, an ability that made people who saw him feel a good feeling, impression, and it was hard for them to feel bad about him, or almost impossible, which also worked as a way for people, especially those who worked together with him, to find it almost impossible to betray him.

At the same time, Tobe felt that this ability was quite dangerous since, with just a touch, it would make someone who touched him feel good, like they were in an intense pleasure that they couldn’t control.

Usually, this ability was passive, and those who saw him would have a good impression of him, and they would feel comfortable when they touched him, but when he activated this ability, it would make people have those ahegao expressions, cumming like they had never been, then completely addicted and fallen to him.

"...."

Tobe, who rested his chin on his palm, felt like he had become a dangerous being, since if he carelessly touched someone, he might cause a family to break apart.

Fortunately, he could control this ability, and frankly, it was quite similar to the "Comfort" ability he gained from Toyomi Fujiwara in the past, but the "Feels Good" was stronger as it could make people to cum and make people to feel good about him, affecting both body and mind, which made him speechless.

Only, as he thought about his reward, he saw a piece of paper, given by the student next to him, who told him that it came from Yui.

Yui noticed his gaze and quickly made a gesture to read her note.

Tobe let out a helpless sigh, but he still read her note, which contained a message about what to do with Yumiko.

What did this girl want him to do with Yumiko?

Did Yui wish him to sleep with Yumiko, too?

Even though it seemed Yumiko had dated Hayama Hayato?

Frankly, Tobe knew well that even if many around him had started to develop an interest in dating due to watching his relationship with Yukinoshita, he was aware that Hayama wasn’t so desperate that he would start dating someone he didn’t love.

At the same time, Tobe also knew that Hayama seemed to have a feeling toward Haruno, Yukinoshita’s older sister.

As for how he knew, it was just that he had talked with Yukinoshita about Hayama in the past, so, more or less, he knew about Hayama’s past.

Hayama Hayato, unlike the MC of this world, Hachiman Hikigaya, who was known as a loner, was the most popular guy in the school until recently.

As for now, it was he, Tobe, who became the most popular, probably, but being popular was useless since he had a girlfriend.

Regardless, Tobe felt that he didn’t know much about this friend of his, who, despite being popular, acted like a SIMP that would do anything for his crush, which made him speechless.

So, when the class ended, before Tobe went on a date with his girlfriend, he came to Hayato and asked, "Hayato, can I ask you something?"

"What’s wrong, Tobe?"

While Hayato showed a gentle smile, inwardly, he felt a bit nervous, but Tobe didn’t care about Hayato’s reaction and just asked, "Are you dating Yumiko now?"

"...."

Tobe’s voice wasn’t loud, and it was just a normal level of voice, but as expected, when Tobe and Hayato stood together, those women with dirty and rotten minds quickly became excited as their breathing became harder, but when they heard Tobe’s question, all of them quickly became silent and they widened their eyes as their gaze moved from Hayama to Yumiko all the time, waiting for Hayama’s answer.

Yet, unexpectedly—

"Yes, we date." Hayama nodded with a gentle smile before he looked at Yumiko. "Right, Yumiko?"

However, Yumiko didn’t say anything and just remained silent until she heard Hayama’s voice. "Please, Yumiko..."

Watching him begging her, Yumiko didn’t even flinch or try to give an answer in a hurry. Instead, she looked at Tobe, who was just watching her curiously, without much of a reaction on his face as if everything had nothing to do with him, which made her unhappy, and she subconsciously said, "Yes."

"Thank you."

As Hayama said those words with a sigh of relief and a gentle smile, Yumiko felt an intense regret as she knew well that she couldn’t take back her previous answer.

Yet, at that moment, while Tobe was speechless inwardly as he looked at the perpetrator of this incident, who peeked from the outside of his class awkwardly, Ooka and Yamato, who were also Hayama’s friends, quickly came to Hayama as they hugged him, crying.

"Dammit, even Hayama got a girlfriend now!"

"Introduce us to some girls!"

As the two cried since they were the only ones who hadn’t made a girlfriend within their group, Yui and Hina Ebina could only stare at Yumiko, who was in a daze, staring at a face of a certain someone, who was completely had his focus to the girl outside the class with a helpless sigh, yet without a doubt, they were glad this unhealthy drama that might begin between the two had ended.
