Chapter 69: 59. Plans for Testing Mayi’s Sexual Orientation 2

"Why is that?" Kiyono Lin humbly inquired about the opposing opinions of others.

"Kiyono, you are very beautiful, and I’m afraid that if Mayi Asuka really likes girls, she might accept your confession."

In the eyes of the Appearance Association, is everyone a member of the Appearance Association?

"My infinite charm indeed poses an unstable factor." Kiyono Lin crossed her arms with her left hand and propped her chin with her right as she seriously pondered what she would do if that situation really occurred.

"Hold on a minute," Dubian Che was displeased, "Ichiki, why didn’t you mention worrying about me being too handsome and Mayi Asuka accepting me?"

"That’s also a possibility. Anyway, neither Kiyono nor Mr. Dubian is allowed!"

"Then we just have to think of another way," Kiyono Lin said as she fell into a long silence.

She stopped speaking, and the activity room quieted down, the pattering rain outside the window once again reaching the trio’s ears.

Dubian Che gazed out the window at Shibuya Station enveloped by the June rainy season and suddenly remembered a call he had with his parents a few days ago.

"... I did well on this test, but don’t overwork yourself, go out with your friends more..."

"... Clothes won’t dry on rainy days, buy a few more, I’ve sent you some money..."

"... Nothing new at home, just letting water into the paddy fields, your dad bought some ducks, raising them in the fields, saying they’ll be ready for you to eat when you come back for summer vacation..."

Though the conversation was filled with ordinary topics, Dubian Che somewhat regretted not going home during the three-day break.

I should have gone back to visit.

"We can only observe face to face."

Dubian Che snapped back to reality and looked at Kiyono Lin, who had just spoken.

"Observe?" Ichiki Aoi, who was almost done with his tea, questioned.

"Yes." Kiyono Lin raised her head, "Whether a person likes men or women will show subtle differences during interactions. Ichiki."

"I’m here."

"Could you arrange to hang out with Mayi Asuka tomorrow? Mr. Dubian and I will join you as your friends."

"Hold on a minute." Dubian Che raised his hand, "Why should I join? Wouldn’t it be better if Ichiki just invited his real male friends?"

The last time he went out with Yuzao Haomei alone, Jiutiao Meijie had warned him. Now going out with three girls... Did he dislike his regular life that much, enough to switch to a line where he risks getting chased by a conglomerate?

Kiyono Lin showed a facial expression of Dubian Che going to the arcade with friends, annoyed by the poor skills of his teammates, yet unable to do anything about it.

She sighed:

"Besides me, it’s rare for ordinary high school girls not to care about looks. If you randomly find a boy, do you think Mayi Asuka would waver between me, irresistibly charming, and him? Among all the boys in this Goda High School, only you barely meet my standards."

"Barely meet?"

"Hmm?" Kiyono Lin tilted her head, puzzled by Dubian Che’s question.

"You... never mind."

’Indeed, it’s barely meeting, just the mere nine points of you approaching the perfect ten of me, though I also have only nine points when I’m not smiling.’

Dubian Che silently complained in his heart and said, "Thank you for acknowledging my charm, but I still refuse."

"Why?"

"I have a girlfriend, and she is extremely jealous. I can’t go out with other girls."

"You don’t need to worry about that; I will vouch for you. I’ll let Jiutiao know you’re there for club activities, not to flirt with other girls."

"... Aren’t you enemies?"

"We are enemies, but that doesn’t compromise my credibility. You think I’m a liar like you, full of nothing but lies?"

Dubian Che knew she was alluding again to ’none of his confessions to Jiutiao Meijie being true.’

"If something goes wrong later, you take responsibility, then I have no problem."

"Of course, I’ll take responsibility."

Dubian Che always felt something off about that statement.

But never mind, as long as he was careful and kept his distance, with ’Lie Detector Lin’ there, perhaps Jiutiao Meijie would understand... right?

Moreover, according to what Dubian Che had learned from books, appropriately showing how popular he is is also a way to deepen the love, possessiveness, and satisfaction level of rich ladies, no, young misses.

It was worth a try.

But...

"I am bringing Kunii Shuichi and Saito Keisuke along. They are my classmates who once wanted to join the Human Observation Department."

Kiyono Lin chuckled lightly: "As you wish."

She certainly wasn’t mocking Kunii Shuichi and Saito Keisuke; they weren’t worth her mockery.

She was laughing at Dubian Che’s timidity.

"What is that expression for? Just to clarify, I’m not acting cowardly or scared, it’s cautiousness. Cautiousness, you get it?"

"Timidity is subjective. If you say so, then it must be."

After Kiyono Lin brushed off Dubian Che, she turned her attention back to Ichiki.

"Can you make it happen, Ichiki?"

"Ask, ask Mayi out to hang out?" Ichiki hesitated greatly.

"Ichiki, since you’ve joined the Human Observation Department, you should be prepared for this."

Ichiki thought of Mayi, who was about to graduate. If she didn’t express her feelings before the summer ended, she would never have another chance.

She put on a determined face, "I’ll do my best!"

"Good, I’m counting on you."

"No, no — it’s me troubling you guys," Ichiki hurriedly waved her hands, "Let’s add each other on LINE to facilitate arranging the time and location."

"LINE?" Kiyono Lin shook her head. "I don’t have it."

"EH?!!"

"Is it so unbelievable that I don’t have LINE?" Kiyono Lin looked at Dubian Che seeking solidarity.

Although Dubian Che very much wanted to tease her about it, he couldn’t lie.

"Not really." He honestly admitted, "Before I came to Tokyo, I used to contact my village friends via landline, I didn’t even have a mobile phone, let alone LINE."

Kiyono Lin nodded, then gave Ichiki a look that said ’it’s not surprising.’

Ichiki didn’t know what to say at that moment.

These two, are they still living in the Showa era?

Seeing her perplexed expression, Kiyono Lin thought about it and took the initiative, "I’ll download it and use it until I help you fulfill your request."

"Thank you, Kiyono!"

After that, Ichiki taught Kiyono Lin how to install LINE on her phone and register an account.

"Kiyono, that’s the ID, don’t use your real name."

"I see on your account, Ichiki, that everyone uses their real names."

"That’s just the nicknames I’ve added!"

"If that’s the case, why not use real names from the start? Since everyone knows each other."

"Well... sometimes I add people I don’t know. Before I decide if we can be friends, it’s more convenient to chat using IDs."

"I’m not going to add strangers frivolously, and I’ll only use this app for a while. Using my real name is fine."

"I see."

"Also, from what I see, LINE is essentially no different from email. Why bother downloading it?"

"Because it’s more convenient, and you can use the same chat channel with many people! Plus, the interface is more stylish! Also, Kiyono, look, there are many cute emojis!"

"I see... Can you show me that animated dolphin picture again?"

Dubian Che, watching Kiyono Lin getting completely engrossed, was reminded of his mom back home who went from resisting to being addicted to Amazon shopping.

From middle-aged women in the village to high school beauties like Kiyono Lin who don’t have friends... The internet is indeed a terrifying thing!

Maybe even more appealing than him!

After setting up the chat group, Ichiki said they’d contact each other in the evening and then left the Human Observation Department. Dubian Che stayed in the classroom until school was out and then also left.

Outside, it was still the rainy season.

While heading to the arcade with Kunii Shuichi and Saito Keisuke, Dubian Che mentioned that they might all go out together the next day.

"Dubian! You’re forever humans’ best buddy!"

"Finally, the day has come! Mixer, hooray!!!"

Those two didn’t really listen to him.

But it didn’t matter.

"As a return favor, you guys treat today. Kunii, you pay for the games, Saito, you get the meal."

"No problem!"

"You can count on us!"

Watching them readily agreeing, Dubian Che smiled.

Later that night, while listening to the English radio broadcast, the host talked about going on a trip for a while since it was a company task and he could spend freely, Dubian remembered:

He shouldn’t have let others pay for him. He still had the task of spending a million yen per month!
