Chapter 23 X-Day Decision! (Part 2)

And I have another idea for Karen-san.”

Touko raised her index finger.

It seems to be a bit secretive.

What’s that idea?

Women are group creatures. Especially the type like her.

A group creature? What do you mean by that?

Human beings are group creatures, and what does that have to do with Karen falling in love with me?

If you can’t figure it out, then you’ve got it all wrong.

” A mistake?”

I questioned her further.

Yes, or maybe men in general who think that they are unattractive.

I had no idea what Touko Senpai was talking about.

“What do you think are the conditions for a popular guy?”

Seeing me like this, Toko-senpai asked me that question.

“Well, handsome, good at sports, tall, and so on. I’m not sure if it’s a good-looking guy, a good athlete, or a tall guy, but if it’s an internal thing, maybe a smart guy or a kind guy.

That’s what men think of as a ‘popular guy’, right?

Is it different for women?

I don’t mean to say that those things you just mentioned are not there, but I don’t think they are the essence. I think there are more important factors.

“More important factors?

For example, you said ‘good-looking, athletic, tall, smart, and kind. If these are the prerequisites, wouldn’t it be strange for a not-so-cool comedian to marry a talented female announcer?

‘But isn’t it because comedians have money? They seem to be good talkers too.

Even if they’re not that successful, there are still a fair number of comedians who have married announcers or famous actresses, right?

Well, that’s true.

“So one of the factors I mentioned would include what you just said about being a good talker.

Does that mean that you can seduce a girl or something?

No, it doesn’t. First of all, you have to be a good listener, and you have to be able to understand what the other person is trying to say, and you have to be able to create an atmosphere.

Good at listening, understanding others’ intentions, and creating a good atmosphere.

I think I understand what you’re saying, but only vaguely.

“Girls don’t like a ‘good talker’ who just talks to them. A girl who is a good listener and who can relate to her feelings is often preferred.

“In other words, do you mean I should ‘listen to Karen carefully’?

I thought I was listening to Karen and doing what I was supposed to do.

After all, Karen is the type of person who always imposes her opinions one way or the other.

“Not exactly. I think you’re probably the type of person who listens to her a lot. I can feel it when you talk to me.”

“So is it a statement? So is it talking or creating a mood?

Yes, setting a mood. But I’m not talking about setting the mood between couples or anything like that.

Again I began to lose sight of what Toko was trying to say.

It’s like solving a riddle.

So what kind of atmosphere are you trying to create?

It’s a group atmosphere. To put it more straightforwardly, it’s about increasing the popularity of the girls as a whole.”

…… What? ……

I was dumbfounded.

“Increasing the popularity of the whole girl”?

I’m sure you’ll be able to find something that works for you.

I’m sure you’ll be able to find something that works for you.

I’m sure you’re not the only one who’s trying to figure out how to do this.

I’m sure you’ve heard of it. In the first place, it’s impossible to be loved by all the girls when it’s hard to be loved by Karen alone. I think it’s a bit of a fallacy.

But Touko-senpai closed her eyes and shook her face from side to side.

You can’t be wrong. I’m not saying that you can fall in love with all girls. It’s impossible to do that because of personal preferences. I’m just saying that you have to make yourself more desirable to the girls.

I understand what you’re saying. I understand what you’re saying, but if the girls like me more, will Karen like me more?

“I think that’s one effective way to find out. Probably for you, Karen.”

To be honest, there are some things that I don’t understand about what Touko-senpai is saying, and I can’t believe everything she says. ……

But in her own way, Touko must be able to see ” Karen’s image” that I can’t.

But how can I do that?”

“I’ll tell you more later. Don’t worry, if you do as I say, the odds are good. It’s just a matter of your determination and will.

Then Touko senpai drank her lemon tea slowly.

She put the cup back on the table.

What’s more important now is that I’ve decided on a date to give these two cheaters a knockout punch!

Toko-senpai looked at me with eyes that glowed more intensely than ever.

“No matter how many plans you make that don’t have a due date, you can’t make them happen. That’s why I’m going to set Christmas Eve as the X-day,. Understood?”

That’s right, Toko-senpai is right.

There’s no point in dragging it out forever, we have to make up our minds and play the game.

That’s the reason we’ re doing this here.

I understand. Let’s do it, we still have two months to go!

That’s the spirit!

Toko-senpai smiled handsomely.. Understood?”

That’s right, Toko-senpai is right.

There’s no point in dragging it out forever, we have to make up our minds and play the game.

That’s the reason we’ re doing this here.

I understand. Let’s do it, we still have two months to go!

That’s the spirit!

Toko-senpai smiled handsomely.
