Ch 9.3 Relationships - Start

"So Yuki~Kun, do you have any girlfriend?" Joyce asked Yuki, showing a lot more interest she had in him than before.

"Wh-what? Why would you ask something like that all of a sudden?" Yuki stammered, not being able to wrap his head around the situation.

"Why wouldn't I? I want to know more about you now that you've introduced yourself, you're quite the interesting fellow." Joyce said, bending towards Yuki.

"A-and why exactly do you want t-to know about my personal life?" Yuki still stammered, showing more and more of his NEET side and not being able to keep up with social interaction.

Joyce produced a smug smile and then started laughing, "Yeah you can't have a girlfriend, not if you are like this hahaha" Joyce giggled, "Hehe, you're cute Yuki~kun…"

"...but sadly I don't like cute guys." She said while pointing at her biceps, "I like men who are strong, you get it right?" She winked at Yuki.

At this point Yuki was in a mental warfare with himself and had no idea about what to say, "Y-yes yes, I understand, I'm glad I met you."

"I'm glad I met you too." She said while standing up, "I'll have to go now, I was here just for a small chat. See you all later. Bye-bye" She left the canteen while waving at them.
