I Just Want A Single Ending!

"Sure."

With such a beneficial offer falling into his lap, Kamigawa Saku wasn't about to turn it down.

If she hadn't asked to exchange contacts, he'd have found a reason to suggest it himself.

After all, unlike Misumi Uika, Yuutenji Nyamu didn't have any barriers keeping her off-limits due to her status. He'd take this chance to get closer to her.

And since he had his own agenda with Nyamu, he could tell she had a particular interest in him as well.

Her motives weren't hard to figure out; most likely, she was intrigued by his Instagram fame.

The fact that she'd warmed up so quickly after learning about his follower count was enough proof.

In this situation, they were perfectly aligned.

She valued his Instagram status and wanted to form a connection.

Meanwhile, he wanted to befriend her to fulfill his single-life ending.

It was mutual benefit, so neither of them had any reason to call the other out.

"It's my lucky day, getting to exchange contacts with a favorite influencer."

After they swapped contacts, Nyamu seemed genuinely thrilled.

"Those are my words—I'm a fan of yours too," Kamigawa replied.

Nyamu's eyes narrowed in a playful smile. "Seems like we're pretty fated, huh~"

"Definitely."

Though, in his mind, this "fate" extended only as far as a friendship.

Nothing more!

After a short pause, Kamigawa brought up another matter, "By the way, I might ask you for some advice on makeup products. Would that be alright?"

"Of course!"

Nyamu agreed without a second thought.

Honestly, she'd love it if he reached out to her for help.

After all, one good turn deserves another!

Now that he'd asked her for assistance, it would only be fair for him to lend her a hand in return. And as they exchanged favors, their bond would grow—eventually, she'd have him guest in one of her videos as a "dream collaboration."

"That's a relief. I've been worried about how clueless I am when it comes to makeup."

Kamigawa's reaction was one of genuine relief, as if a long-standing problem had just been solved.

"Is it for your girlfriend?"

Sensing his shift in demeanor, Nyamu couldn't help but ask, her tone teasingly nosy.

"I don't have a girlfriend."

His response came immediately.

"Is that because you're not interested in dating? Or just haven't met someone you like?"

With his looks, he could easily find a girlfriend in high school, no problem.

She was confident about that.

"That's right. Right now, I have a lot of goals and don't want to waste time on romance!" Kamigawa admitted without hesitation.

A man on the path to his single-life ending didn't need a girlfriend—she'd only get in the way.

Nyamu nodded thoughtfully, then casually shifted the topic, "So, what's the makeup research for? Are you learning to do makeup yourself?"

"No, I'm planning to add a new makeup review section to my account."

Kamigawa didn't hold back, opting for honesty.

Since she already followed his account, she'd see this new content when Togawa Sakiko agreed to the collaboration.

Sharing the plan now would let her in on it early and even open up more talking points between them.

"I see."

Nyamu wasn't bothered by his plans in the least.

Their content was different; her focus was makeup tutorials, not product reviews.

He'd be reviewing cosmetics, so it didn't interfere with her niche.

Plus, he was on Instagram, not YouTube.

There wasn't much overlap in their interests, which left room for potential collaborations instead.

She could already imagine doing a makeup look using the products he reviewed.

Even a quick brainstorm brought up several fun ideas.

"But isn't makeup reviewing a bit off-brand for your page?" she asked, voicing a concern.

"It's just an additional section. I'll keep my usual content steady, so I think it'll be fine."

"Good point."

Nyamu quickly analyzed the pros and cons and saw no reason to argue.

As long as he kept posting his usual content and didn't alienate his core audience, trying new things wouldn't be an issue.

"And can I ask what brought on this new direction?"

In her mind, his page was growing fast, with lots of room to expand. He could coast along, posting consistent content for years.

"To reach more followers. If I stick to the same content forever, I'll hit a ceiling eventually. Preparing for the future is a must." Kamigawa left out Togawa Sakiko's involvement.

"…"

His answer struck a chord with Nyamu.

She, too, was considering her next steps.

"If that's the case, feel free to ask me about anything makeup-related. I'm happy to help however I can."

Nyamu's eagerness came from genuine curiosity about his venture and the possibility of using him as a case study.

If he succeeded, she'd be providing valuable support, which would naturally strengthen their friendship.

Even if he didn't succeed, she'd still gain a closer connection.

"Thank you." Kamigawa gave her an appreciative smile. "And if there's ever anything I can help you with, just ask."

"Will do."

Her smile brightened even more.

That was exactly what she'd wanted.

High school boys were easy to charm—it had been so simple to get closer.

Kamigawa's smile was equally radiant.

Today had gone better than he'd hoped. He'd established a partnership with a route character effortlessly.

Friendship was only a matter of time now.

Both thoroughly pleased, they continued their conversation, with the atmosphere between them growing increasingly friendly.

After a while, a staff member entered to notify them.

Nyamu picked up her phone to start filming.

Meanwhile, Kamigawa grabbed his camera and followed the staff member to take some photos.

"This is the room where sumimi will be filming their commercial shortly."

The staff member stopped outside a room and explained.

"Got it," Kamigawa replied.

The staff knocked before stepping inside.

Kamigawa followed close behind.
