In just one month, Hotaru intuitively felt one thing - there are really a lot of rich people in Tokyo, and they are really easy to make money.

Because Hotaru's list of services doesn't include her body, she starts out with a price of just over 2,000 yen, but because her looks, figure, voice, and demeanor are among the best in the industry, she is gradually able to attract some repeat customers—and the competition from these repeat customers leads to increasing bids and Hotaru's income rising. 5,000 yen, 10,000 yen, and even later on, she could get 20,000 or 30,000 yen for just one meal.

Every day, I go in and out of various high-end restaurants with different men, eat all kinds of high-end ingredients, listen to or talk about the past or ask questions, and give different reactions, so that most people can get both sensory satisfaction and spiritual communication pleasure.

Hotaru's life is rich again—but this time, her spending is clearly restrained, because in the process of communicating with all kinds of men, she is not only rich in her purse, but also in her experience.

It's easy to make money, but it's easier to spend so much money, so Hotaru already has a very clear idea of what to buy and what not to buy: don't be stingy, don't waste.

For example, cosmetics are necessary to improve the quality of service and indirectly increase income, while expensive clothes that do not match the style she intends to show to her customers are not on her list.

As Hotaru begins to dress herself up with makeup, she finds that her popularity has improved.

Well—boys only.

…………

"Oh?" In the hallway, Hotaru blinked and looked at the boy in front of her.

If I'm not mistaken, this should be the senior in the third year of junior high school...... It looks pretty handsome.

"Engage with me," the senior repeated the request. "How?"

"Hmm-" Hotaru said thoughtfully.

Social, the word Hotaru knew what it meant, but she didn't really do it.

If she had the freedom to choose, Hotaru would definitely set her dating partner as Yuma, the person she relied on the most.

However, there is no way...... There were other people in her life, and the time allotted to herself was almost insignificant.

The corners of Hotaru's mouth suddenly hooked.

Forget it, it's a bit stupid to bother for what you can't get, and everyone will have their own lives in the future, and they will all go their separate ways...... Everyone has to be separated from each other.

"Okay," Hotaru said as she looked at the senior in front of her. "So, please take care of me~"

……………………

A few days later, inside the basketball arena.

"Huh?" Holding the basketball, Yuma was surprised. "Hotaru?"

"I don't know what her name is," said another girl, who was also wearing a basketball jersey. "But it's the brunette girl who usually comes to you."

At this moment, another girl, who was obviously also in the know, also came over.

"Are you talking about that girl named Hotaru?" She said with some envy. "It's really amazing! I'm actually dating the most handsome senior in the third grade! ”

"Huh?" Yuzhen was stunned, stunned for a moment, and then put the basketball on the ground. "She usually doesn't leave school until ten minutes later, so I'm going to ask her."

…………

"That's right," Hotaru nodded. "We're dating."

"......" Yuzhen's expression was a little bit of a desire to speak, but in the end he just spit out a sentence. Why? It's because you...... You...... Do you like him? ”

"I ......," Hotaru replied with a thoughtful expression. I didn't know, he said he wanted to have a relationship with me, and I agreed. ”

Actually, Hotaru wanted to say "I like him", but I don't know why, when I looked at Yuma, she couldn't say it.

What is the real reason for choosing him? Probably...... It's because you want someone who can take care of yourself, be considerate of yourself, and accompany yourself like Hotaru did before, right? As long as it meets her most needs, she doesn't have to pay anything insignificant.

Before Yuma could continue to ask, a voice came from the side.

"Hotaru, let's go." Hotaru's boyfriend was already standing not far away, looking at her and Hotaru with some curiosity. "She's ......"

"She's my friend," Hotaru glanced at Yuma. "Then Yuma, I'll go first~"

With that, Hotaru stood up, and then obediently came to her boyfriend's right hand, interlocking her left hand with her boyfriend's right hand.

"Oh yes," it was, Hotaru suddenly turned her head again, her expression complicated. "Come on for club activities!"

"......" Yuma looked at Hotaru who turned her head and left with her boyfriend in a daze.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Yuzhen feels that Hotaru's words just now have a slight resentment flavor...... It seems to be ...... Because I participated in club activities too often, I didn't play with her?

…………

"By the way, did that girl have a boyfriend just now?" Walking on the road, Hotaru's boyfriend suddenly asked.

"What's wrong?" Hotaru is a little strange.

"It's just that I have a friend who seems to think she's cute," the boyfriend shrugged. "That's why I wanted to ask you about her."

"She?" Hotaru thought for a moment, then turned her gaze to an ice cream parlor not far away. "Now, I'd like to eat a vanilla ball from there."

“？” Her boyfriend glanced at Hotaru's gaze, then tapped the corner of Hotaru's mouth with a doting smile. "It's gluttonous, little gluttonous cat?"

"Yes~" Hotaru showed an expression like a cozy kitten.

"I'll buy it for you, wait for me here." With that, the boyfriend walked to the ice cream shop.

......After confirming that her expression had been done long enough, Hotaru put away her smile and replaced it with the cute expression of slightly anticipation that a girl should have when she waits for her boyfriend to return with something delicious.

I should really thank myself for my work, and now I can put any kind of expression on my face that I might use in a very short time.

In some sense, the boyfriend is no different from the customers. As long as they are satisfied with some behavior that can deceive them with low EQ and IQ, they are a treasure trove of countless benefits that can be spitted out.

Well, maybe you can try to give your customers a little more special service in the future, treat them like boyfriends, and maybe get more money. However, it is also necessary to carefully consider the issue of openness, after all, you are like a commodity, although the price reduction can be promoted, it will also lead to a decrease in profits. It's hard to make a lot of money by giving everything you have - although an iron virgin who is completely guarded like jade can't even make a small amount of money.

Just then, my boyfriend came back with vanilla ice cream. "Cutie, here's the ice cream."

Hotaru was about to take it with both hands, but her boyfriend put the vanilla ice cream slightly too high. "Mind telling me the answer first?"

"About Yuzhen?" Hotaru tilted her head. "She has someone she likes, and if your classmates like her, it's definitely not him."

"That's right...... boyfriend raised an eyebrow, and handed the vanilla ice cream to Hotaru.

Hotaru holds the bottom of the ice cream cone in both hands, sticks out her thin tongue, and licks the pale ice cream up and down while her boyfriend stands next to her, looking at her intently.
