Nifuji wasn't the only one who was shocked, but Sumi was the same!
In their minds, even if their personalities were so very different, they had the same question on their minds, "WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU THINKING?!"
Yes, what the hell was Chizuru thinking?!
To ask Nifuji to become the fake boyfriend of Sumi, what was within Chizuru's mind?!
Even if Sumi was a timid girl, she also looked at Chizuru with confusion.
Regardless, Chizuru's plan was simple, and that was to ask Nifuji's help by asking him to become Sumi's fake boyfriend.
Yes, it was a dangerous plan, as there might be a chance for Nifuji to fall for Sumi, but Chizuru felt that it was fine, since she knew that even if Sumi was charming and also feminine, which made her better than most young women in the university, she lacked something that Chizuru had.
No, it wasn't boobs since despite Chizuru having quite a large bust size, Sumi's size also wasn't bad as she was at a modest size. They might not be the biggest, but they were comfortable and nice.
Moreover, along with Sumi's nature, which was submissive, Chizuru was sure that Sumi was simply a lethal weapon to any woman, and as long as Sumi was brave enough, Nifuji might be addicted to her; the feeling of corruption of such a pure woman was simply irresistible.
Lastly, despite how Sumi appeared, she was loyal and also gentle.
Also, while Chizuru didn't want to admit it, if Nifuji married someone, having Sumi was definitely better for his business than her, who was of the more sexy type.
Still, even so, it was impossible for Sumi to take him—why?
Chizuru had the help of Mini, a sleazy girl who often dressed in cosplay, and even asked her to do a cosplay.
With the combination of Chizuru (a natural beauty) and Mini, that Gen-Z personification, they were simply undefeatable.
Regardless, Chizuru felt that the two of them weren't enough, so she thought of getting Sumi, too, to help her!
So, when the three combined themselves, nothing could stop them!
If possible, Chizuru thought that having five women might be good, since, like a power ranger, who was five in a group, to take down a demon king like Nifuji, numbers were necessary.
Chizuru had already understood her limitation, and instead of trying to be stubborn, she made a strategic change by taking him down by a quality!
Regardless, if Chizuru was a red one, then Sumi was a pink!
What about Mini?
Well, she was the blue.
So, who was the yellow and the black?
Chizuru didn't know, but hopefully, it was enough with just red, blue, and pink.
Yup, the color representation might be strange, but frankly, it was a good representation since, as the red, Chizuru was the leader, and she often moved by an emotion despite her flawless act.
As for Mini, despite her chaos, she was good at calculation and knew their limit, so she was the one who made the strategy.
As for Sumi, she was the heart, the one who calmed everyone down when everyone was out of control.
What about the yellow and green?
Chizuru didn't know, but let's just leave that to Mini, who was the one who had the unexpectedly smartest mind out of all of them.
Still, while Nifuji didn't know why Chizuru suddenly thought all of that, he took a deep breath, but his eyes never looked away from her, as he knew well that if he looked away, he would meet Sumi's gaze, and when that happened, he knew a cliché-like situation would be born between the two.
Their gazes met, a blush happened, before they looked away shyly.
Nifuji had met this situation so many times that he knew the formula.
"...let me repeat this again." His eyes appeared sharper and more serious, which made Chizuru look away slightly due to a mix of guilt and shyness. After all, her mind was so dirty that she thought to let her "boyfriend" go on a date with another girl. It might have just been a fake date, but her status with him was real, and her feelings, too, yet she let him go with another girl, like she had an NTR fetish somehow.
What was this?
Did she enjoy seeing her beloved with others, doing something lewd and dirty together?
"Do you want me to become a rental boyfriend of hers like that?"
"Yes."
Yet, even so, Chizuru's answer never changed.
Nifuji took a deep breath, then looked at Sumi, who had been silent, but as expected, as he turned, their eyes met, her face turned a bashful red before she lowered her head shyly.
"....."
Yup, it was all the same.
However, his reaction was different, as he said, "Don't decide this on yourselves. You should talk with your friend for a bit."
"Ah?" Chizuru was startled when she saw him suddenly stand up. "Where are you going? You are not going back, right? You are not angry, right?" She quickly grabbed his arm, thinking that she might have done too much!
When she thought of that, she started to panic, afraid that Nifuji would leave her!
"...I am going to the toilet. Also, I am going to get a drink to refresh my mind. Do you want something, too?"
"..."
While Chizuru was relieved to hear that, she felt that she needed to calm her mind, too.
"A double shot of espresso."
"...I think you are going to go crazy by drinking that."
After two shots of espresso, Nifuji could imagine Chizuru would become a ball of a mess directly, as her heart definitely would jump in a rate due to the intense amount of caffeine.
"I am fine."
"Okay, then."
If that's what Chizuru wanted, then Nifuji wouldn't say much, but he didn't go to the cashier immediately as he looked at Sumi. "What about you, Sakurasawa-san? Do you want me to order you something?"
"Ah, um, I-I am fine... thank you very much... Nifuji-san..."
Sumi still looked down, as her fingers twisted around, touching against each other, and her voice was so low that it was almost impossible to hear. Still, she answered him, when Nifuji thought that she wouldn't say anything, and it relieved him.
"Okay, you two should talk for a bit. I will go back soon."
As he left, Sumi quickly looked up, watching his broad back, tall figure that was simply grabbing attention in this place.
A rental boyfriend... when she thought of that, she felt like... it wasn't a bad idea at all.
After all, if she went out with someone who attracted people's attention, then wouldn't her communication problem be better?
Also, when Nifuji talked to her earlier, she felt like... he was so gentle with her, which made her giddy, and because of that, when she looked at Chizuru, who stared at her, her lips trembled, as she couldn't make an outright rejection.
"Ah... um..."
Still, before that, she asked, "Do you have an NTR fetish, Chizuru-san?"
"....." Chizuru.
