22 - Gullible eyes, You're the Best!!!
“Setsuna.”
“Eh, Kazu-kun… kyaa~!”
As Setsuna turned around, I pulled her into a hug.
“I’m sorry, Setsuna.”
And then I apologized immediately. That’s the key.
Not giving her time to think is absolutely essential to taking control of the situation.
“I haven’t really been giving you much attention lately. You’ve been busy with idol work and all… but no, that’s just an excuse.”
“Kazu…kun…?”
“I might not have really been looking at you properly. You’re such a good girl, Setsuna, I let myself get too comfortable. Let me say it again. I’m really sorry, Setsuna.”
And just as expected, Setsuna's previously dark, ominous aura evaporated, and she responded in kind.
“That’s not true! You always look out for me! Your feelings… they’ve always reached me, Kazu-kun!”
Perfect reaction. Her thoughts were clearly a mess. So, she took the bait smoothly—the apology right in front of her.
That’s exactly what I was aiming for. By apologizing first, I planted a seed of guilt in her.
That lets me naturally take the lead. And now, guiding her thoughts is child’s play for someone like me.
While inwardly grinning at how smoothly things were going, I shook my head.
“That’s not it. You said you wanted to confine me… because you were anxious I wasn’t by your side, right?”
In reality, I’m 90% sure there was no anxiety—she just genuinely wanted to confine me—but that’s not what matters here.
What matters is how I frame her words—what I say I believe her feelings meant.
“The fact I didn’t notice that sooner… that’s my fault. I’m a failure as your childhood friend.”
“Kazu-kun…”
By apologizing, I planted hesitation in Setsuna's heart.
Wait… maybe I said something wrong? She thought.
Making her think that was my mission all along.
“I’m really sorry. I know a simple apology isn’t enough. But I swear I’ll treasure you more from now on, Setsuna.”
I hugged her slender body even tighter, savouring the feel of that irresistibly soft sensation pressing into my chest—but I couldn’t let myself grin. One wrong move, and this whole act would fall apart.
So I had to endure. Hang in there, Kuzuhara Kazuma. This is the critical moment!
Coaching myself through it, I asked:
“Is it… too late now?”
“U-umm… not at all… I believe in you, Kazu-kun…”
“Thank you, Setsuna. But words alone probably aren’t enough, right?”
Reluctantly parting from the heavenly sensation of her chest, I pulled back slightly and looked her straight in the eyes.
“Look into my eyes. Do these look like the eyes of someone lying to you?”
I asked her so.
Truthfully, they were 100% the eyes of a liar, cloudy with deceit—but what matters is saying it confidently.
If she convinces herself that I’m being sincere, then I win.
Now, I just had to pray that Setsuna's eyes were completely gullible at detecting lies.
“Kazu, kun…”
“So? Can you still trust me?”
“………Mmm.”
After a long moment of silence, locking eyes, Setsuna finally shook her head gently, tears forming at the corners of her eyes, and then she expressed her gratitude.
“Kazu-kun… your feelings reached me. Thank you, Kazu-kun. I didn’t realize how much you cared about me…”
“Setsuna…!”
Seeing that, I mentally threw a triumphant fist in the air.
Hell yeah!!! Gullible eyes, you're the BEST!!!!!
Oh man, life is way too easy peasy. You're the greatest, ME!
But it’s not over yet. Time to finish this off and secure total victory.
I leaned in close to Setsuna’s ear and whispered in a deep, smooth voice...
"Well then, how about we go on a date sometime? Consider it a substitute for the confining thing. You’re fine with that, right?"
My voice was just as smooth and alluring as when I spoke to Himeno.
Setsuna shivered for a moment before nodding, her expression dazed, as if overcome by feverish excitement.
"Ah… Mm, I'm fine with it..."
"Of course, you'll be covering the cost of the date, right? Also, I was thinking of dating both of you—would you be okay with that, Setsuna?"
"Yeah… I know that I'm the most important to you, Kazu-kun, so I'm okay…"
Sensing an opportunity, I decided to push my luck with a few extra requests, and Setsuna agreed to every one of them without hesitation.
She really was easy to handle—a childhood friend who was just too convenient.
Grateful for that, I delivered my best and most charming line of the day.
"Even though I’m like this… would you keep supporting me from now on, Setsuna?"
Hit by my final blow, Setsuna’s cheeks immediately flushed as she gazed at me with sparkling eyes.
"Ah... Yes♡"
She nodded, her eyes adorned with heart-shaped glows.

"Pyon pyon♪ pyon pyon♪."
After that, the sound of countless camera shutters echoed through the living room.
"Good job, Setsuna! Give it an even more flirtatious!"
"Mm, got it♪ pyon pyon pyo~n♪"
Setsuna, dressed as a bunny girl, responded to my request with a smile.
"What are you even taking pictures of? Aren't you embarrassed, calling yourself a master?! …Umm, is it okay?"
"Hmm… maybe a little harsher tone would work better. That’s what Ijuuin requested, too."
"Is that the young lady, a masochist...?"
Although confused, Arisa did her best to act as a maid, yelling abuse at me.
"Master, do you want to use the image as is?"
"No, I'll deliberately lower the quality. There might be people desperate for attention who’d post it on social media. If the image is grainy and low-res, it won’t attract much engagement, and it’ll be harder to tell it’s real."
"I see. As expected, you're amazing..."
"However, I'm planning to sell the high-resolution version behind the scenes for a higher price later. If it's an auction, there will be people who are willing to pay for it. Right?"
"Fufu, you're really a meticulous planner...♪"
And so, as I spent time editing images with Himeno, who had changed into a competitive swimsuit, the holiday hours flew by in an instant.
