Dating sim loading: My girlfriend is a cunning young lady-Chapter 9 - 7. Probe

"See through lies? Psychology? Knowledge of expressions and actions? Or a combination of both?"

"None of those," Kiyono Lin shook her head, "At the age of three, I suddenly became able to judge whether someone was lying."

"..."

"Incredible? I don't expect others to believe such a reality-detached matter. But since that time, I've sincerely detested liars, at the same time demanding that I, myself, never engage in such behavior."

"Is that behavior lying?"

"Of course."

This was really interesting. Dubian Che asked curiously, "Do you like me?"

Kiyono Lin held her forehead, as if in pain, "Are you a fish? I just made it clear I despise liars. Are you never lying, or are you actually insulting yourself by denying your own humanity?"

"Sorry, just consider it a boy's curiosity, after all, it's not every day you hear a girl claim she never lies," Dubian Che said, "But in this world, no one can avoid lying."

"That's why, except for myself, I hate everyone," Kiyono Lin answered without hesitation.

The sun in Tokyo gradually sank westward, and a flock of crows flew from afar, sweeping over the skies above Goda High School. On the girl's indifferent face, there was no hint of jest.

From the bottom of his heart, Dubian Che believed the girl, thinking she truly was an honest person, one who never lied.

The feeling was inexplicable; Dubian Che suspected he was bewitched by her 9-point beauty, which led him to entertain such nonsense.

How could a person never lie? Impossible. Being human entails lying, and lying is essential.

"The questioning is over," Kiyono Lin opened a hardcover book, "As an official member, you're welcome to stay, but please be quiet."

"No problem."

The clubroom fell silent, and Dubian Che vaguely heard a sharp metallic collision, the sound of a metal baseball bat striking a ball.

The baseball club's practice had begun.

Dubian Che put aside the matter regarding the girl and took out his textbook, pretending to study.

[Temporary Event: Game time April 26th, 4:03 PM. A girl who claims to see through any lie appears before you.]

[Activity Content: Succeed in deceiving her once.]

[Event Duration: One week]

[Reward for the Event: Mind Reading Technique / One million points]

Mind Reading Technique?

This is supposed to be an everyday game, right? How come there's an option to exchange for supernatural abilities? Even the abilities in the store are those that humans can obtain through learning.

Dubian Che reopened the [appendix].

Although he had read the explanation regarding temporary events, he hadn't memorized it and merely knew that not participating carried no penalties.

...

[250: The game imposes no penalties on players, including temporary events;]

[251: Special rewards unique to temporary events will only appear during those events and are not refreshed in the store;]

[252: Temporary events vary in difficulty and the degree of danger is uncertain; they encourage active player participation but also advise caution;]

[253: Based on the basic spirit of game operation, the rewards of temporary events are consistent with their difficulty level;]

[254: Temporary events may present tasks that are nearly impossible to complete, but there are no absolutely impossible tasks;]

[255: Any illegal actions taken by players in the game (including temporary events), including but not limited to kidnapping, threatening, bribery, seduction, drug use, are not associated with this game, and the consequences are the sole responsibility of the players;]

...

That's about it.

Considering the outrageous one million points for this activity, you'd know it belonged to those tasks that were almost impossible to complete.

Although Dubian Che coveted the Mind Reading Technique, he didn't hold out much hope.

But did this confirm the fact that Kiyono Lin could see through all lies? Even if it wasn't all lies, it seemed that not just anyone, with a little effort, could deceive her.

Did she hate everyone except herself? If that was true, what must that feel like?

Dubian Che imagined what it would be like to be surrounded by people he despised... Well, that seemed less comfortable than spending a lifetime farming in the countryside.

When school ended, as Dubian Che was closing the sliding door to the clubroom, he couldn't help but glance at Kiyono Lin, who was earnestly reading a book.

Born into a prestigious family, with both beauty and intelligence, she possessed an obsession that could be considered a mental illness.

What a pity.

After leaving the Human Observation Department, Dubian Che first met up with Saito Keisuke and then waited at the sports field for the sweat-soaked Kunii Shuichi, and the three of them walked together to a nearby family restaurant.

The restaurant, named Bava Ka, was tucked away on a corner of Shinjuku Avenue and was a popular spot among students from around the area.

Besides Goda High School, there was a women's high school affiliated with a university and an ordinary high school nearby; the three schools often collaborated on various events.

When the trio arrived, the family restaurant was already quite full. There were families of all ages out for a meal together, but the majority were students in uniform from the three schools gathering to dine.

The restaurant's menu ranged from Japanese set meals to Western-style steaks to a variety of international noodle dishes, offering a rich array of choices. Moreover, the prices were affordable, and drinks were unlimited with an order.

Dubian Che ordered a serving of Buckwheat Noodles, Saito Keisuke chose ramen, and Kunii Shuichi, who had the biggest appetite, ordered not only ramen but also steak and fries.

After just a few bites, Saito Keisuke asked, "Dubian, how did it feel to be alone in a room with Kiyono Lin?"

"Hmm??" Kunii Shuichi, with a mouthful of noodles, made an indistinct noise.

Conversations among men always seemed to revolve around such topics.

Dubian Che lifted a small portion of Buckwheat Noodles, swirled them in the sauce, and sucked them into his mouth, finding the taste average and not as satisfying as the ones his mom made by hand back home.

After slurping up the noodles, he finally answered the curious duo, "I've been disliked."

"You didn't do something, did you?" expressed Saito Keisuke in surprise.

"I only did something anyone would do."

"Hmm—" Kunii Shuichi finally swallowed his food, "You made a move? Aren't you afraid of dying? Even daring to bother Kiyono Lin?"

Right as Dubian Che was about to explain, he caught sight of a familiar figure by the drink bar.

"I'm going to get some drinks," he said standing up with his glass.

"Get me one, too," said Kunii Shuichi, quickly finishing his soda and handing his cup over.

Dubian Che, with two cups in hand, queued up at the very end of the line.

Ahead of him was a female high school student with the perky backside of a model and a slim waist. Bored from waiting in line, she was twirling her hair around a finger.

"Yuzao Haomei, are you also here for a meal?"

The greeting was lackluster but naturally soft and very pleasant. Yuzao Haomei turned around without thinking.

He was a very handsome young man, also wearing a Goda High School uniform—even without the uniform, Yuzao Haomei would have recognized him.

A famous heartthrob and excellent student at Goda High, he hailed from a poor family in the countryside.

Although Yuzao Haomei despised the poor, she was attracted to his looks, so she flashed a charming smile.

"What a coincidence, Dubian."

Dubian Che cheerfully said, "I was about to introduce myself, worrying that Yuzao Haomei might not recognize me."

Yuzao Haomei put a little hand that violated school rules with clear nail polish to her seductive lips, "How could that be? You, Dubian, are a big heartthrob at Goda. You have caused quite a stir among the girls."

"Is that so? Yuzao Haomei, you cause quite a stir among us guys, too."

"Eh? Really? What do they say about me?"

Most people are curious about how the opposite sex talks about them, especially those who aren't bad-looking. Watching Yuzao Haomei in front of him, Dubian Che thought to himself.

Except for Kiyono Lin, she probably wouldn't take the time or have the interest to inquire about the opinions of guys she despised.

At that moment, the person in front of him had just collected their drink and walked away. Dubian Che lowered his voice and said in a tone that was twice as pleasant,

"We were all discussing that Yuzao Haomei could be kept with money, just not sure how much it would be per month."
