Chapter 4: Selling Point – Part 3
Finding Megumi’s strong points was child’s play.
She was kind and considerate. She was good at sewing. She would always make delicious snacks and bring them to the club.
She had no shortage of positive traits he could easily use to explain her appeal to Yokomizo.
“Here you go, another cup of black tea.”
Even now, Megumi was right in the middle of pouring a round of tea for everybody.
She filled Kyouya’s empty teacup with the red steaming liquid.
n.o.body had told her to do any of that. Megumi voluntarily took care of everyone. It felt as if she enjoyed it so much she couldn’t help herself.
“Thanks.”
Kyouka tried his best to always show his appreciation. However, there were times when his cup would be filled without him even noticing it, so saying thanks all the time was actually a hard endeavor.
“So, is Megu next?”
Mao said after throwing a cookie into her mouth, cracking it with her strong teeth and was.h.i.+ng it down with the black tea.
“Well, Megumi-chan is… I think I got it covered already.”
Kyouya had been feeling somebody watching him for a while now, so he turned to look.
Kirara had just walked to the round table and back. She had picked up a chair and calmly sat down on it. She looked as if she was decided on waiting for her turn, looking fixedly at him with expectation in her eyes.
“So, shall we go for Kirara next?”
But when Kyouya said that…
“Ehh? You’re not doing it for me?”
Megumi said in a downhearted tone.
“Err… well…”
Kyouya was stumped.
Unlike with Mao or Kirara’s difficult personality, with Megumi there wasn’t really any need to go out of his way to find her positive traits.
“Okay. Okay. Okaaay. There, please go ahead!”
After rus.h.i.+ng to dispose of the teapot, Megumi ran back and picked a chair.
“You can be surprisingly cruel, huh? Trying to leave only Megu out like that, how heartless.”
“That’s right. Please sell me out too.”
“No selling, I said!”
“In Megumi-kun’s case, how about you just do the reverse?”
s.h.i.+on said.
“Reverse? You mean search for her flaws?”
“I don’t think you can give a complete impression of somebody if you don’t transmit both their positive points and their flaws.”
“I see.”
Even thought the topic had changed from positive to negative traits, Megumi was still smiling brightly.
“Me! Me! Me! I know!”
Mao eagerly raised her hand.
“This girl always takes away my futon in the morning! Oh, and she always forces me to eat broccoli! There’s not a shred of mercy or sympathy in her!”
“I don’t think that’s a flaw. She’s just teaching you some discipline.”
“Me.”
Kirara said while raising her hand.
“Megu. Nice smell.”
“Only you would be able to tell something like that. I needed something more concrete. And that’s a positive trait too.”
“Rrr.”
Kirara put herself to think. For some reason she started consulting a dictionary.
“Megumi-kun can be an unexpectedly sore loser perhaps? Though I think that’s because she really loves compet.i.tion.”
“Aah. That might be true.”
Megumi gave a large nod in response to s.h.i.+on’s words.
“Okay, let me try too. Speaking of unexpected things… perhaps there’s something you’re bad at? Like having a bad sense of direction?”
“Ah, that’s true! But… how did you know that, s.h.i.+nomiya-kun?”
“Oh… it was just a guess. I was right?”
“I think you might be right.”
Megumi was pleased.
“Stop right there! This isn’t working at all! She’s totally enjoying it! If the person in question is not bothered by it you can’t call it a flaw!”
Mao’s words were persuasive. She herself had a million things he could say to her for which she would bite him back.
“Okay, let’s see… she’s unexpectedly quick to ignore what people are saying?”
“Eh? That’s not true. I pay attention to what people say.”
“That’s it! She’s denying it, so this is it!”
Mao folded her arms and raised her voice.
Megumi’s flaw had been decided.
She was a really good girl, kind and caring, but she also had times when she’d settle on doing things her own way. That’s what he’d tell Yokomizo.
“It’s cheap.“
