Cote : I Just Want to Grant Your Wish!

Chapter 715 - 715: Kiryuin Fuka Dilema

Lately, Asahina Nazuna had been getting the feeling that someone was following her.Every so often, she would catch sight of a familiar figure drifting around nearby, making absolutely no effort to hide.

In the end, Nazuna had no choice but to confront her.

"I'm studying romance between boys and girls."

The person openly tailing her was none other than Kiryūin Fūka. "Relax. You're one of the people I'm paying close attention to, but I'm not planning to do anything to you."

The third-years were currently in the middle of a special exam, and the two of them belonged to different classes.

Add in the competition between Nagumo Miyabi and Kiriyama Ikuto, and Fūka even went out of her way to put on a harmless smile.

Still, her words left Nazuna completely baffled.

"You're studying romance?"

Nazuna believed Fūka meant her no harm, but the way she said it made her expression turn incredibly strange.

This girl, who had always lived however she pleased and never seemed to care what anyone thought, was suddenly interested in romance?

That was so absurd it felt like watching an iron tree bloom.

Just who in the world had given Fūka that idea?

Gossip was practically a girl's instinct.

Like a shark catching the scent of blood, Nazuna instantly perked up, completely missing what Fūka meant by "paying close attention."

"To be more precise, I'm trying to make someone fall for me."

Fūka smacked her lips. "It does sound a little funny, but I think it'll be interesting."

She had never seriously thought about love before, much less imagined that anyone could win her over.

But ever since Kaoru had deliberately brought the subject up, she had found herself somewhat interested.

For Fūka, romance was an entirely new experience, something both familiar and unfamiliar at the same time.

She had often seen it in movies and novels, this behavior driven by hormones, dopamine, and endorphins.

She could watch a grand love story like Titanic, but she had never been able to truly place herself inside that feeling.

Because of that, Fūka was curious about what romance actually felt like. She knew Kaoru was teasing her, but she had still agreed without the slightest hesitation.

The reason Fūka had never dated anyone was simple. She had never believed there was anyone capable of giving her that kind of experience.

In other words, Fūka had yet to meet someone who could truly draw that side of her out.

"You have someone you like?"

Nazuna could not help blurting it out.

In her eyes, this was huge news. "Who is it? Who?"

Everyone in their year knew Fūka as a proud, untouchable flower.

Because she was usually so forceful and did whatever she wanted, quite a few people thought she had the looks but not much softness to her.

Some had even bet that she would stay single for the rest of her life.

If those people found out that Fūka had started thinking about romance, it would be massive news.

Nazuna's gossip instincts burned brighter than ever. Her little head spun at full speed as she quickly went through the boys in their year who seemed most likely.

"I'd like to have someone like that, but unfortunately, I only have half of one right now."

Fūka blinked, and a mischievous impulse rose in her for no reason at all.

She suddenly wanted to see how Nazuna would react.

"If he's willing to give up his girlfriend, maybe I'll consider dating him."

"Huh? He already has a girlfriend?"

Nazuna, completely unaware of the truth, was only surprised.

How had Fūka ended up interested in a boy who already had a girlfriend?

"I've thought it over. Even if he has a girlfriend, I still want to try."

"Th-that doesn't sound very good, does it?"

"Oh, come on. Isn't romance just a game where you make the other person fall for you?"

"..."

Nazuna realized she could not actually refute her.

Even if she said that doing something like this would interfere with someone else's relationship, or that it was unfair to the girlfriend, Fūka probably would not care.

Just as Fūka herself had said, what was one girlfriend supposed to mean? As long as she made the other person like her, she would win the game.

"Can you tell me who it is?"

Nazuna did not try to interfere with Fūka's thinking. She was simply curious about who this person was.

"Is he a student in our year?"

For some reason, Fūka's lips curved into a strange smile.

"No. You'll find out soon enough."

She looked mysterious and unreadable. "Before that, I want to know how you started dating Kaoru-kun."

The sudden mention of Kaoru made Nazuna's face turn red. She had thought nobody was paying attention to her and Kaoru anymore, only for Fūka to suddenly appear out of nowhere.

"I-I can't really explain it. Every time I saw him, my heart would start racing, and then I ended up accepting his confession."

As she spoke, Nazuna suddenly came back to herself. "Wait, why are you asking about that all of a sudden, Fūka-san?"

"Because I don't know how to go on dates."

Fūka said it as though it were the most obvious thing in the world. "I want to know how you made him fall for you, and what your relationship is actually like."

Nazuna finally understood what Fūka meant by paying close attention to her. She was curious about Nazuna's relationship with Kaoru.

That left Nazuna not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Because she wanted to study romance, she had decided to observe someone else's relationship? What kind of idiot logic was that?

"Ahem. Well, I think romance really isn't that complicated. If seeing him makes you feel satisfied and happy, and you often find yourself spacing out because of him, then that means you already like him."

Nazuna put on the air of someone with plenty of experience, suddenly eager to share a bit of wisdom with Fūka.

"So that's how it works?"

Fūka tilted her head in confusion. "But what I want is for him to like me. What do I have to do to make him feel that way?"

Nazuna froze for a brief moment.

Right. Fūka was the one doing the pursuing here.

When it came to chasing someone herself, Nazuna had absolutely no experience.

But she had theory!

"Well, for that, you can invite him out, dress nicely, and show off your charm a little. A girl's appeal really does come from how she presents herself. Then, you can casually create small moments of closeness. Even a little bit of contact can make the other person more aware of you."

The more Nazuna talked, the more enthusiastic she became. After a while, she even began borrowing from her own experience with Kaoru.

If she had not been worried about her image and too embarrassed to say it out loud, she might have even shared a few small tips about kissing.

People should not underestimate kissing. If someone got too nervous, they could accidentally bump teeth with the other person.

"I didn't expect dating to have so many tricks to it. I'll think about it carefully."

Fūka listened to Nazuna's advice with great interest, and from the look of her, she had taken it all seriously.

"No, no, it's nothing. Just a few little suggestions from me."

Nazuna acted modest, probably because she was looking forward to finding out who Fūka liked and could not help offering her some advice.

"Can I watch one of your dates with Kaoru-kun?"

Fūka suddenly asked. "I have no experience with romance. Without an example, I won't know what to do."

Nazuna stared at her, dumbfounded.

How exactly was she supposed to let someone watch her date with Kaoru?
