Chapter 336: Comfortable Life
As the Service Club had decided to accept Yui's request, they discussed their plan for a while before returning to their class, which was about to start.
Still, while Yui and Tobe were in the same class, neither of them tried to talk to each other since they knew well that the others would really think that they had a special relationship.
Well, this was the case, but when Yukinoshita was in the middle, between the two, it was different since it appeared like Yui had become Yukinoshita's friend, and naturally, when the other saw it, especially their classmates, they were surprised.
Still, as Yukinoshita left for her class, while Tobe was able to return to his seat, Yui was pulled by Yumiko and Ebina.
"Yui, why were you with Yukinoshita-san?"
"Did she say that you are a thieving cat?"
"..." Yui.
"No, no! I-I just want to fix the misunderstanding since it wasn't good to just let it go without talking about anything, right? It might also cause trouble for Tobe-kun, too."
"That's true." Ebina nodded, then let out a helpless sigh. "You are such a good girl, Yui."
"I-I am not..."
Was Yui such a good girl?
Yui felt like she was a little vixen inwardly, as she also had another reason to get close to Yukinoshita.
Still, unlike Yui, who could lower her position so she could get close to Yukinoshita, it was impossible for Yumiko to do so.
If Yumiko met Yukinoshita, without a doubt, she would somehow try to pick a fight with her.
"...so you two are going to become friends?"
Still, even if Yumiko knew that Yukinoshita wasn't a bad girl and was just awkward, she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when she thought that Yui took an interest in Yukinoshita.
Yui looked at Yumiko for a moment, then shook her head softly. "I don't know, but I wish to become her friend. However, you are still an important friend of mine, Yumiko."
"H-Hmph! Just make friends with whoever you want!"
Watching Yumiko, whose face was as red as a ripened tomato, Yui realized that Yumiko was easier to manage than she thought. As expected, when she glanced at Tobe's direction, he gave her a thumbs up, which made her show an awkward expression, as doing this wasn't her intention.
However, with this, Yui had no problem getting close to Yukinoshita and probably joined the Service Club, too.
On the other hand, Yukinoshita, who had returned to her classroom, took her smartphone and contacted someone whom she didn't want to.
"Nee-san, can I ask you a favor?"
The moment she sent a chat, the reply was quickly given that the opposite person even wanted to call her, seemingly in great surprise, as it was her first time to know that someone as proud as Yukinoshita would ask a favor!
Still, as Yukinoshita was in the class, she didn't want to attract the attention of many and said that she would talk about the details of her request later after school, which someone she called "Nee-san" agreed to, too, and even proposed to visit her apartment, which she rejected without hesitation!
Since, well... she was just afraid of how keen the sense of this "Nee-san" was, she might notice that she had lost her virginity.
"You seem to be in a good mood, Haruno. What's wrong?"
"Ah, no, nothing. My little sister just asked me for a request."
"That's great, then. Your relationship has become closer now."
"Oh, while my little sister is important, my best friend is also important." A woman, who was called Haruno and also "Nee-san" by Yukinoshita, quickly wrapped her arm around the thin shoulder of a young woman, whose virginity was taken by Tobe, too. "I will meet your boyfriend too later, Shiori~!"
"..." Shiori Yomiori.
Inwardly, Shiori hoped that nothing would happen to Tobe, but at the same time, she also hoped that Haruno wouldn't be swayed by that scumbag.
On the other hand, Tobe didn't know trouble had come to him as he had been focused on writing his light novel and improving his drawing skills.
As for the exam, even if he didn't do anything, he believed that he would take the 1st grade with ease.
Still, usually people would doubt, thinking that he might be cheating if he really made such an exaggerated improvement, so to not have everyone doubt him, he showed how serious he was when he studied.
By showing how hard he studied in public, no one would think that he was cheating if he really got the 1st rank, yet for those who knew about him, they snorted inwardly, thinking that no matter how hard he tried, the result wouldn't change much, especially those who were bitter with their lives, yet never thought to change it for the better.
Facing such a person, Tobe never thought much since he wouldn't meet them again after he graduated from high school. For such people, what he felt toward them was just pity.
Those who had a talent, better genes, and also better IQ might be able to achieve more than most, but it didn't mean that those who had none of what he mentioned above would have their hard work become meaningless.
Instead, it was because they couldn't become the best that they shouldn't stop their hard work.
If one can't become the best, then be the elite.
If they can't become the elite, then strive to be above average.
As long as people reached the elite or the above average, their lives were as good as guaranteed. They might not be able to become billionaires, but they could become millionaires, who have a comfortable, stable life with a happy family, right?
To be happy, while many people thought of many things about why they were born in this world, all of them had a similar little wish, and that was to be happy.
Tobe was the same since he just wanted to be happy, and because of that, he seduced many women, so he could gain unique abilities to make his life easier and comfortable, especially in terms of monetary.
Money might not be able to give everything, but unfortunately, it was the only way for one to live comfortably, since without money, one's life was quite challenging.
Tobe couldn't say that without money, one's life couldn't be happy, since sometimes people found their happiness in their own unique way, such as focusing on their hobbies, improving their skills, or just living away from the group.
There were many ways, yet in the majority, it was easier to be happy with money, which made him helpless.
Still, as the school ended, and Tobe thought to meet Yukinoshita to help her with the request that Yui had asked previously, Sagami, this quite cute girl in the class, approached him with a reddened and nervous expression and said, "T-Tobe-kun, can we talk for a while?"
"..."
