The state’s daughter paid me 300 million worthless

A value-oriented young lady

“I confessed.”

“What?”

We are having lunch alone on a rooftop that has been reserved. Suddenly, Wang Fengyuan Eina said something while sharing the homemade lunchbox with me. Her long hair, about the size of an ankle, is tied up, and the tied part is also quite lengthy. Normally, it flows over her shoulders, and I used to jokingly say that I’m in charge of taking care of her hair… but not right now.

The amount of bento was originally prepared for my girlfriend and me, so it’s a pretty substantial box. However, at the moment, I’m being asked to role-play as a ‘friend’, so I’m not doing anything in particular.

“…… To whom?” I asked.

“Mr. Hasekura in the same class. He seems to have liked me since he entered school. There have been a lot of rumours about it. You know that, don’t you?”

“I know. Actually, it’s not just him. I know that most boys like you.”

I’m one of them.

It’s been a little over a year since Eina reserved this rooftop. She has no idea where her seemingly endless money comes from, but even without it, her beauty is unmatched. She may actually be considered an heiress due to her wealth, but even in the same class, her demeanour sets her apart from other girls. It’s elegance, or rather, a unique spirit.

Countless boys approach her. The shallow idea is that being kind will eventually win her over. However, when she’s in class, she’s aloof and maintains a reserved attitude toward almost everyone. In truth, I can’t currently identify who my best friend is. There’s also the term “Takamine flower,” but the reality is that Takamine is like Mount Everest, unreachable as far as the eye can see.

Even if she is hopelessly uncharming, Eina’s good looks are forgiven. I remember it well. The boys who saw her squirming in the school pool were almost in trouble. I had to bend my body, or rather, the guy she was with at the time was freaking out because of it.

Well let’s see. Maybe I’m the only one who feels elegance, and everyone is looking at my breasts, hips, and buttocks.

Compared to Eina, all the other girls said that the boys who said that they were all skulls were all skan. I know what you’re trying to say, but I thought it would be better to do something about the lack of delicacy that I actually said.

“Yes, I wonder if the topic will be shared when it comes to the same boys. I’m curious to see what you’re talking about me, can you tell me?”

“Huh………… No, it’s not a big deal. I usually put them in the men’s circle because I’m the best friends from the side.”

I was bought by Eina for 300 million yen and became her property.

The parents who willingly gave up were also parents, but they probably decided that the lifetime annual income of a typical man was about that much, so it was commensurate. It was an illusion that a child with a lot of work was cute. At the time, Eina said, “I was still going to put it out,” but it was a lot of money that would make an ordinary person cry. I didn’t think this kind of trafficking was legally allowed, but what about the reality? The deal was made without the police being dispatched and the media not interested in the story.

I was happy, though.

Getting away from my strongly disliked parents, especially my mother, and being able to live with the person I loved. There were some things that were a little different from what I had imagined, but now I have largely adapted. Since we now attend the same public high school, I’ve been ordered to play the role of a “friend.” I have to keep role-playing as long as she calls me ‘you.’

“If it’s not a big deal, it’s okay to ask, will you let me know?”

“…How big is your breast? Grab me by the waist and ×××××× it. Skirts, flip up your underwear—stop it! I can’t help but feel embarrassed about this kind of story. Everybody looks at you like that! That’s it! I don’t want to say more!”

“Ufufu, Keiya-kun is shy. It’s the same as it used to be. Yes, that’s how they look at me. I wonder if you are too.”

She grabbed the hand that she had placed and forced our fingers to cross. Hair that smelled so good that I almost fainted approached, and we could feel each other’s sighs. Even without a mirror, I know that my face is red. Hot. It’s not because it’s summer. It’s because Eina is looking at me.

“…”

“No, if you don’t answer me properly, I’ll have to punish you later. I’ll still give you a light punishment now.”

“Punishment is inevitable anymore!”

“It’s bad that you don’t answer properly, and if you reply late, the punishment will be harsh, but…”

“I like it, I like it! That’s how I look at it! Not anymore! Done! No more! I don’t want to say! You’re mean!”

“Mean…”

Eina is hopelessly unfriendly, but if you ask me, who started out with friends, there are moments in place where you can tell the difference. For example, at this moment, her mouth is not moving at all, but her eyes are smiling very happily. If a mood metre exists in this world, it’s evidence of a critical response.

“That’s right, it might be mean. I couldn’t help myself because you, Kageya-kun, are cute. I’m sorry, should we eat our lunch now? It loses its value if it gets cold.”

While I think it’s a bit strange to try to return to lunch as if nothing happened, the lunch is delicious, so I don’t really mind… not that I could admit that.

“Are you going to accept the confession?”

“Hasekura-kun’s value is… around 30,000 yen, so it’s not worth it. But if he prepares the shortfall, that’s a different story.”

The reason for Wang Fengyuan Eina’s poor social interactions can be summed up in this sentence. She is, in a word, a value supremacist. She has absolute confidence in her own discerning eye and finds value in everything. And when she wants something, she tries to purchase it at the price of the moment. This rule mainly applies to things with no set price, so there’s no situation like buying a 200 yen item at a store for 10,000 yen.

To give an example, the 300 million yen she spent to buy me was the price she saw in me at the time. Even after being purchased, you must not behave in a way that upsets her or your value will decrease. And she only acts in a way commensurate with the price for the things she has purchased. Think of it like stocks; the value goes up and down. The current value of everything she owns is recorded in a notebook in her bedroom. Except for me, no one can access it, and she won’t even show me my own value.

30,000 yen is quite low in value, but it’s not something to be pessimistic about since the overall market price in our class is about the same. You probably already understand why Eina maintains her salty attitude. It’s because she sees me as low in value.

“By the way, what about the dating fee? The right to be a lover?”

“1 billion.”

“…It seems impossible even if the entire school were to pool their resources. So, are you going to refuse… that’s good.”

“Hmm?”

“Well, I was called here to discuss something, right? Should I go? Dealing with a 30,000 yen confession from a guy seems like a hassle.”

“…I see. I was planning to leave it to someone else, but if you say so, Kageya-kun, I’ll leave it to you. Don’t bring up unnecessary topics. I won’t say anything except that I had a negative reaction to the confession. I’ll be waiting in the car, so please don’t make me wait too long. I don’t like being alone.”

We resumed our lunch. Since it’s just the two of us, any small talk we make quickly comes to an end. Not leaving a single grain of rice is a show of respect to the person who prepared this meal. There’s no reason to leave anything behind when it’s so incredibly delicious.

“Eina, don’t say that you’re lonely. I’m here with you, after all. You bought me… so I’ll always be with you.”

“Kageya-kun, you’re saying something very nice. I’m so, so happy. What should we do if someone who wants to buy you appears? There are probably many, so we’ll have to raise the price.”

Without making any particular promises, our little fingers intertwine.

Ever since we were kids, she wanted to make me hers.
