So Keisuke's interpretation of getting permission just meant that my parents told him that in case I wanted to stay over they wouldn't even bat an eye because no one could control Michi. Upon hearing some pleadings from his side, I decided to stay the night. But annoyed him in return as much as possible. Since I was still in my school uniform I received some of his clothes to change into. He seemed extremely proud of it too.

In the morning I was the first person to wake up, so I took the opportunity to squeeze this guy's cheeks, but that wasn't enough to wake him up. So I moved to the kitchen to investigate if I could require some food and that's when Venus appeared.

'Would you rather prepare breakfast for everyone or quickly change your clothes and run back home?' On an empty stomach? Not likely. So I checked the fridge and cupboards for any possible food, but there was barely any.

"Did I happen to come before the day his mom was supposed to hit the store?' So I grabbed my wallet changed clothes and headed out. It took barely ten minutes and when I returned back Keisuke was sitting by the kitchen table looking glum?

"Yo! What got you so depressed?" I questioned.

"Oh... I thought you already left."

"So you moped around because I didn't even say goodbye?" He nodded his head.

"I just hit the store, so relax." I started to prepare some breakfast and even lunch boxes for the three of us thinking his mom could take one to her work.

"I will show it off to Chifuyu in school," Keisuke confessed.

"Brag all you want." His mom joined us soon after while conveying.

"I wouldn't mind having you as a daughter-in-law."

"The feeling is not mutual, you're kind of terrifying in a sense." Keisuke basically dropped his chopsticks, you could see the terror in his eyes.

"You're really honest aren't you?" Was her response.

"Someone has to be." She chuckled and ruffed thru my hair. Ok, maybe she had her friendly moments. And the chaotic side of me decided to awaken all of sudden.

"I know Keisuke I figured it out, since your mom is single once I grow up I can marry her instead, so you can be son-zoned." Both of them had the same reaction, basically, their jaws dropped.

"Michi! Stop with the jokes! Don't you feel at least a little bit sorry for me?" Keisuke yelled.

"Come on you know I'm just joking around." But then turned to his mom and send her a wink, let's say she was taken aback and started to laugh out loud. That's when another prank entered my mind, which I was gonna follow thru, no questions asked.

We both headed out at the same time but had to part ways somewhere in the middle since we went to different schools.

Not much occurred inside the school walls, besides me participating in an exam, but with my stats at hand, it went by without a hitch.

As for today's date schedule, I was supposed to meet Taiju just a few moments in I was already pondering whether it was a mistake on my part. Not only did he take the liberty to plan everything, but he also pressed me on wearing a dress, and an expensive looking one at that. But his excessive spending didn't end there, since he turned up in a limo, this very afternoon.

"Isn't this too much? I wasn't aware I asked out a celebrity." I said in a sarcastic tone, but Taiju didn't seem bothered by my comment in the slightest.

"You look good, I guess I was worried for nothing." His gaze was checking me from top to toe. Meanwhile, I took notice of his outfit, it was a suit.

"Well you did specify they had a certain clothes requirement... the question is why are you taking me there of all the places?"

"I thought girls liked to be spoiled." I just sighted, I never liked the high-end establishments, since they made me feel out of place and I liked feeling comfortable without having snobs judging my every move.

"I prefer being spoiled with pizza and movie nights." He nodded his head.

"I will take note of your preferences." Perhaps he was the one that liked to enjoy dates in this fashion. And after a couple of minutes, we arrived. Once Taiju confirmed his reservation we were let inside. I already felt so nervous, but when this guy's big hand was wrapped around my torso, I felt somehow more at ease.

Once we ordered our food I decided to start the boyfriend interview.

"So let's start," I said in a serious tone as if we were in some kind of game show.

"Boyfriend scenario number one: An angel descends from the heavens and tells you that being with me will bring a disaster, what will you do?" Since he was religious, it sounded like a possible trap I could make, but all he did was laugh.

"What?" I questioned confused at his response.

"I find it hilarious that you think that angels would intervene in my love life." Well someone was enjoying themself, I just crossed my arm, pouting since my plan didn't work. Once he calmed down, I decided to take another approach.

"So let's say we start a relationship... how do you imagine our future?"

"Throughout the school or as adults?" He questioned, I thought about it.

"As adults?" It seemed like he had a hard time coming up with an answer, so I gave him a push.

"Just close your eyes and tell me how you imagine your marriage life?" This guy seriously went for it.

"I own a restaurant."

"Yes, I can see that happening." He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at me.

"Really?" He seemed surprised at my

response.

"You believe I am capable enough, of achieving this dream of mine?" I nodded my head, because hello I read the manga.

"Leading a gang, taking care of a restaurant, it's kind of the same? I bet you will own an expensive restaurant with an aquarium inside, where sharks are swimming around." He seemed almost touched by my words.

"I wasn't aware you paid so close attention to my interest." I gulped as if I was caught in a lie, considering I didn't learn it from him speaking about it but thru other means.

"Yeah... about that-" Before I could say anything more, this guy caught my hand, and held it tenderly while letting out.

"I told you we were compatible." What was this romantic scene and why was I part of it? Being a fan of such interactions I squealed, but then realized something. Did Kokonoi feed the muscle giant with some romantic advice tactics? Because it sure felt like it. Don't tell me he wanted to keep me close by enthralling me with this guy.

"So about the future vision you had, what else is there." I trailed back to the previous topic.

"I would love it if you were a stay-at-home mom." I wouldn't really mind cooking food for someone if I was making fortune from my paintings on the side.

"Five kids, maybe more? Since I'm a family kind of guy." I think I snorted the water thru my nose that I was drinking, which ended up in a coughing fit. Could someone feed this guy some self-awareness?

"How many? Five? More? You want a whole warzone inside the house?" His numbers were outrageous.

"How many were you thinking?" He decided to ask my opinion on this matter.

"One, maybe two?" Was he one of those dudes that wanted a whole football team? This made me suspect that maybe our lifestyles were far too different from each other. Like if he wanted five kids imagine how many grandkids that would be, I started to sweat from stress just thinking about it.

"Oh, it would be nice if we could attend church every Sunday." Just hearing this phrase made my hands shake. As my brain was recalling bad memories of attending the masses as a kid.

"How about... no." I then picked out a notebook which I packed inside my purse, opened it up, and wrote.

'Questionable.' Besides Taiju's name.

However continuing on the date wasn't too bad, I felt like he was trying his best, he made a couple of jokes, talked about some shark facts, and discussed how he would decorate his restaurant in the future. Thankfully someone advised him against talking about religion in front of my presence or maybe he just learned his lesson.

Additionally, at the end of the date, he gave me flowers, and as he was on his way to give me a ride back home, something urgent came up, and I was dropped off in the middle of the road back home.

"Oh well, at least I get fresh air and a walk out of it."I tried to stay positive but my legs were cold. That's when I came across Shion of all the people.

"Yo! Michi! How come you didn't ask me for a date?" I was taken aback by his complaint.

"I mean, you hardly seemed serious about dating me... and this is more like a boyfriend trial, just me trying to figure out who would be the best boyfriend material for my circumstances." I pointed out.

"I bet I can be a boyfriend that satisfies your needs." He spoke confidently.

"So you believe you can be in a long-term relationship?" I mean he didn't seem the type, but who was I to judge? Maybe he could commit to something serious if he tried.

"I meant the bed ones, but this works as well." I just stared at him in disbelief.

"Come on, just say yes, you're already in a fitting outfit."

"Are you doing this, because once I get in a relationship you won't have a girl to mess around with?" I suspected.

"How cruel, maybe I do like you, how would you know?"

"Fair point." I decided to agree since the system told me to go on five dates and the fifth date found me instead, may as well.

"Let's hit a karaoke then." I felt like singing at the moment.

"Oh you wanted to be just the two of us, I see." Maybe going on a date with a pervert wasn't the best idea.

"Maybe I just wanted to sing until I lost my voice." After he heard that phrase he winked at me.

Despite my reluctance, we found a karaoke place, pretty quickly. We hired a room, and yes at first we just sang, one song after another. But it seemed that this guy was sometimes capable of thinking because he settled on making a bet.

"Whoever gets the highest score will ask the other person for a wish, what do you say?"

'Would you rather accept Shion Madarame's challenge or go for it and properly seduce him?' Let me guess whatever I chose the results would stay the same because even if his luck was lower, my luck mostly worked in the wonders of love and money.

"Fine." So as per my prediction, I lost terribly and this fight maniac asked for a kiss.

"At this point, I'm a kissing addict, what will I ever become?" I said unironically but it made my date laugh. Was I really a clown like Smiley told me?

As soon as we kissed and left the room, this guy got entangled in a fight.

"You want to feel those fits onto your face?" Then it was followed by profanities from his side. So I just grabbed him and launched him over my shoulder.

"Now if you excuse us." And walked away, diffusing the scene, the deadpan tone threw off both guys away.

"You were that strong?" Shion asked.

"I mean I'm your captain of course I'm strong... now get your hands off my butt."

When the date was over I decided to follow thru with my plan from before. I decided to repurpose the flowers Taiju gave me and headed to Keisuke's house.

Once I was let inside, I kneeled before his mom and said.

"For you." I couldn't stop laughing when Keisuke stumbled on the sight and nearly fell to the ground from the shock.
