Why do they take Tokyo's boyfriend rental seriously?

Chapter 44 You Deserve to Die (Revised)
It is difficult to find an empty place in the school building, but there are always some, such as special classrooms when there are no classes.

“Crack.”

As the door was closed, a space suitable for private conversation was created.

"what happened?"

Finally arriving at the destination, Ryuichi Sugawara glanced around the physics classroom and took the initiative to speak.

"If I pay to rent you, can you completely obey my arrangements during the rental period?"

Although there was no one in the special classroom, Yuki Takanashi was still very careful. She looked around and walked a few steps closer before asking in a low voice.

Influenced by her sneaky behavior, Sugawara Ryuichi lowered his voice quite a bit:

"I can accept the general arrangement, but in terms of physical contact, this trip is only allowed to hold hands, and hugging depends on the consent of both parties. As for kissing or other behaviors above that, it is definitely against the rules."

"Bah, who wants to kiss you, narcissist?"

Because of his unreasonable statement, Yuki Takanashi was speechless and embarrassed, and couldn't help rolling her eyes.

"I'm not being narcissistic, I'm just stating my obligations. As long as the request isn't particularly difficult, or if there's any physical intimacy, I'm fine with it.

Sugawara Ryuichi spread his hands and refused to accept this title.

"What I want to ask is, can you go to karaoke with me and my sisters after school? You don't have to be my boyfriend, just sing some songs."

After confirming that he would obey the arrangements, Yuki Takanashi expressed her thoughts.

This was her first time trying to rent a boyfriend, and she didn't know much about the ins and outs of it.

As soon as these words came out, a frame appeared in front of Sugawara Ryuichi's eyes:
[Yuki Kotori invites you on a date, do you accept? ]

"can."

Although he didn't understand why she suddenly changed her mind, Sugawara Ryuichi agreed decisively.

If he doesn't make money even though he has it, he's a bastard. What's more, he can earn heart-throb points by dating girls.

【Accepted Yuki Kotori's date invitation】

As soon as he finished speaking, a system prompt appeared in front of his eyes.

"You don't have reservations for after school tonight, do you?"

Seeing that he agreed, Yuki Takanashi suddenly remembered something and couldn't help asking.

"No… May I ask why you changed your mind?"

Although he didn't know why she asked this, Ryuichi Sugawara still responded and raised his doubts.

Since this was his first time selling in person, he wanted to gain more experience so that he could meet the right person to sell to next time.

"Because the minimum appointment is two hours, that's at least 15,000 yen, and I didn't have much money on me. So I thought, if I could do this, would you be able to go to karaoke with me and my friends?"

When asked about the reason, Yuki Takanashi looked up at his handsome face and explained with a guilty conscience.

"I see."

After learning the reason, Sugawara Ryuichi wrote it down with some understanding.

Thinking about it carefully, he was too anxious at the time. Because he didn't want to embarrass others, so when Yuki Takanashi didn't agree on the spot, he chose to back off.

Now thinking about it, the atmosphere at that time was actually quite good, otherwise he wouldn't have pursued it while the iron was hot.

"Anyway, after school today, you accompany us to karaoke... As for why you changed your mind, just say that my sincerity touched you."

"No problem, whatever you say is what it is."

"We'll go to karaoke after school. Since it's not the weekend or Friday, we'll finish around 7pm and go home for dinner. How long do you think I should rent it for?"

"About three hours."

Considering the other party was an ordinary high school student with limited financial resources, Sugawara Ryuichi didn't dare to quote more. "7500 yen per hour, so three hours is 22500 yen."

After receiving his response, Yuki Takanashi reached into the pleated skirt of her student uniform, pulled out a wallet and began to rummage through it.

"for you……"

After taking out two 10,000 yen bills, two 1,000 yen bills, and a 500 yen coin from her wallet, Yuki Takanashi handed them to Ryuichi Sugawara a little shyly.

Although it was not her first time buying something, it was her first time purchasing a boyfriend rental service, which made her feel very embarrassed.

“You definitely get great value for your money.”

Seeing her holding the rental fee in her hand, Sugawara Ryuichi took it without hesitation.

Although it always feels weird for a man to take money from a woman, he still has to take it if he wants to get the job done.

"Thank you for your guidance."

Seeing her money being taken away, although Yuki Takanashi felt very sad, she looked up at Ryuichi Sugawara's handsome face, and thought of the scene after school when everyone saw Ryuichi Sugawara accept her invitation and go to karaoke with everyone, so she put away her reluctance and bowed.

It doesn't matter. It's just this once, so just pay the money.

And it was necessary for her to do so. On the one hand, it was to make up for her failure to strike up a conversation last night and disappointing everyone. On the other hand, it was to compensate for them secretly following Ryuichi Sugawara.

Even if Sugawara Ryuichi said it was okay and he didn't mind, his magnanimity didn't mean she could feel at ease.

"Please give me more advice."

When Sugawara Ryu saw her formal attitude, he followed her example and bowed.

----

The negotiations ended with a happy outcome for everyone, and they parted ways.

He continued to have lunch, while Yuki Takanashi went back to find her good sisters.

Ryuichi Sugawara walked in the school building and soon came to the shoe cabinet area on the first floor and saw his old friend.

"Are you still waiting for me? Why don't you go to the cafeteria to see Yamabuki-sensei?"

Seeing the other party coming towards him, Sugawara Ryuichi was in a good mood because he had more money in his pocket, and teased him.

"How could I not wait for you... What's going on? Tell me quickly."

Sato Shota, who already loved gossip, complained in a bad mood, but then he found that he was in a good mood and couldn't suppress his curiosity.

"She asked me to go to karaoke after school."

After thinking about it, Sugawara Ryuichi did not hide it from him.

This guy was well-informed. Considering that he was leaving school with three of the four hot girls after school, they would definitely be seen, so there was no point in hiding it.

"Did you agree?"

"accepted."

"Long Yi, you deserve to die!"

Although Sato Shota had guessed it while waiting, he still felt envious and jealous when he heard him say it himself.

"Is this the end of me? This morning, you asked me why I refused, and you said I was just going to sing karaoke with them and hanging out together. What's the big deal?"

Faced with his strong condemnation, Sugawara Ryuichi couldn't help laughing and scolded.

This guy is completely worried that his brother is having a hard life, and he is also worried that his brother is driving a Land Rover. He is very hypocritical.

"Ah! I was just talking. Who would have thought that after being rejected by you once, she would come to invite you again."

Seeing the upturned corners of his mouth, Sato Shota was very crazy.
