Chapter 24 – Touko-senpai’s “Popular Man Lecture”
February 17, 2022
Once we left the coffee shop, we went to a family restaurant along the national highway.
The conversation at the coffee shop had dragged on for quite a while, so we thought it would be better to change the restaurant once and simply because we were hungry.
Tonko ordered pasta and I ordered a hamburger set.
“So, Touko-senpai, about how to make Karen fall in love with me by X-Day, can you tell me what you think your ‘strategy’ is?”
Touko-senpai sat back down deeply in her seat and began to explain.
You said two things earlier. “Ruining travel plans.” You don’t have to do anything about this. If Karen says she wants to go on a trip with her friends, just send her off with a gentle “Have fun!” and you’re good to go.
“It’s about how Touko-senpai manipulated Kamokura-senpai into canceling the trip.
“Yes. Tetsuya still has no intention of going out with Karen-san until he offends me. But Karen will be very upset that he cancelled the trip she was looking forward to. The way she looks at Tetsuya might also change. At such a time, if she realizes that you are always kind and warm to her, Karen-san will remember who is the best.”
Doubts crossed my mind, wondering if it would go that well, but it was strange that it seemed to come true so easily when Touko-senpai said it.
“What about the other method?
“It’s just like I said before. I’m sure you’ve heard of it.
I don’t know how to do that. Can you be more specific?
First of all, don’t do anything that the girls won’t like. That’s the first thing.
Isn’t everyone trying to avoid being disliked?
Don’t they? I don’t think boys are very considerate, though.
In what way?
For example, in terms of appearance, they have a bad habit of sleeping, nose hair, eye discharge, stubble, sloppy clothes. All of these things would be unheard of in a normal girl.”
I searched my memory.
There weren’t many girls like that, I thought.
Have you ever wondered how much time a girl spends on maintaining her body every day? It can easily take an hour or two.”
So that’s how it is.
It’s true that when I travel with girls, I often see them tinkering with their faces and bodies.
So the minimum requirement is to be clean on the outside. It doesn’t mean that you have to wear trendy clothes or have a cool hairstyle. The most popular guys pay attention to the cleanliness of their appearance.
After saying that, Touko-senpai said
“In that respect, Isshiki-kun is clear.
But you’re clear on that point.
Thank you very much. What else?”
In terms of attitude and behavior, I don’t like body touching like I read in some books. A “pat on the head” from a guy you don’t know or like is just unpleasant. It’s much better to just talk to him at a natural distance.
Oh, harsh and sincere!
But I also wonder what kind of idiots do the ‘head banging’ and ‘wall banging’.
There are many guys who don’t understand when you ask them about their problems. Many boys don’t understand what’s going on when you ask them about their problems. They think that they’re depending on you because you’re asking them about their problems, and they try very hard to give you advice that’s out of line. Girls don’t expect you to give them the right answer to their problems. They just want to be listened to. If you say, “You should do it this way,” or “You should do it that way,” she’ll say, “What? That’s not what I’m talking about. And criticism is out of the question.
Tonko-senpai, you’re really scaring me today.
So from now on, when you talk to girls from now on, just listen to what they have to say, and occasionally respond with, ‘Yeah, I’ve had that happen to me too,’ and that will be enough.”
That’s good to know.
When I talk to girls I don’t know very well, I get impatient and don’t know what to say.
But I think it’s better for the boys to be the ones to start the conversation. It’s kind of scary if he’s too close and silent. It makes me think, ‘What do you want?”
It’s so hard, girls.
The other thing is to always be fair with a group of girls. Girls are very sensitive to even the slightest difference. It may make the girl who gets special treatment happy, but it’s definitely not funny to the other girls. At the end of the day, the girls who are given special treatment also become concerned about what others think of them and leave.
After that, Touko-senpai continued to talk about how girls value the ‘group atmosphere’.
“So, Touko-senpai, just by raising the likability of the girls as a whole, Karen’s feelings will return?”
Touko-senpai nodded.
The way I see it, Karen is the type of person who has a strong need for self-expression and approval. Just being nice to her is not enough for that type of girl. They want to know, “If you’re okay with this much, I want you to do this next time. If it’s even more OK, I want you to do more next time! And so the ‘hurdle to confirming affection’ rises.”
I understood that very well.
Or rather, Touko-senpai was right.
In the beginning, Karen only asked for small requests in a cute way, but gradually this became the norm, and she demanded more and more things from me.
If she didn’t get what she wanted, she would stay in a foul mood and even get angry.
These girls are prone to cheating on their boyfriends. They can’t be satisfied with just one man, so they seek out other people. Then they say, ‘It’s not my fault that my boyfriend doesn’t understand me. He doesn’t know how I feel. It’s because he doesn’t love me enough.’ That’s how I can justify cheating on my boyfriend.
Touko-senpai, maybe you should quit information engineering and become a psychiatrist or psychologist. ……
“People with such a strong desire for self-expression and approval are very concerned about the eyes of the group. That’s why if the girls around you are saying, ‘Isshiki-kun is so nice! If the girls around you say, “Isshiki, you’re so nice! Maybe that’s why Karen cheated on him with Tetsuya, who is popular among the girls in the circle and is the central figure.
It’s all very convincing.
I couldn’t say anything, so I just listened to what Touko-senpai said.
So no matter how nice you are to her, it won’t bring her feelings back because it’s ‘natural’ for her. Instead, it’s better to make the girls around you think highly of you and make Karen feel that you don’t want to let go of Isshiki-kun and that she wants to monopolize you.”
I was completely taken aback by Touko-senpai’s powers of observation and insight.
In particular, Karen’s escalating demands on me made me think that she had been watching me.
Now if you could just get a little more attention from the girls than the boys around you, that would be perfect.”
How can I do that?”
And then Tonko made a subtle expression.
It’s like being a tease, yet asking for a favor.
This is the end of the free consultation. From here on out, I want to be paid too.
“A reward? You want money?
I don’t want money. What’s more important to me is …….
“What’s important to you, Touko-senpai?”
I don’t know. I can’t think of anything at all.
“It’s for me. ……*”
Touko-senpai’s voice suddenly became quiet.
“What? What is it?
“So, ……*”
I’m sorry, I can’t hear you very well. Could you speak a little louder?”
I’m not sure if you can hear me. Can you say it a little louder?”
“Oh, my God!”
Touko-senpai said angrily with a red face.
“I need you to teach me “Cute Girls!”
“……”
I was speechless for a moment.
Touko-senpai has a bright red face. Even her ears are red.
“Didn’t I tell you the other day? I want to be a cute girl too,” she said. So I want you to tell me what boys think a cute girl is.”
She was fidgeting as she said it.
…… That look, is already ‘cute’. Touko-senpai: ……
I was laughing my head off.
How could Touko-senpai, who is usually calm, intelligent, and perfectly beautiful, ask me to do something like this?
“Pfft.”
I couldn’t help but blurt it out.
“What? Why are you laughing?”
Tonko-senpai looks at me impatiently with a red face.
No, I’m sorry. I just couldn’t believe it.
“What, I can’ t believe it! I just told you, that is what girls see in …….”
I’m sorry, that’s not what I meant. It’s not that I’m denying what Touko-senpai said.”
When I said that, Touko-senpai seemed to have retracted her words for the time being.
But she still pouted in frustration.
She was still red-faced.
“But are you sure about me? A guy like me thinks you’ re a cute girl.”
That point was also funny.
A perfectly beautiful woman asking me, a very ordinary, to tell her about a cute girl.
“I’m not asking you because you’re you. I can’t ask this of anyone else.”
She looked at me up and down, still embarrassed.
“All right. If it’s okay with me. I’ll compile a list of what I consider ‘cute girls’ by next time.”
The report must be at least 5 pages and no more than 10 pages. If you get less than a C, you’ll have to write another report!”
She made such a joke out of embarrassment and turned her head to the side with a “twang”. Her face was still red.
The way she’s looking now, she’s really cute. Touko-senpai.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
