Hakuto hesitated for a moment but ultimately decided to ask.
"Um... are you a 0 or a 1?"
"What 01? Kamen Rider?"
Now it was Hakuto's turn to be confused. As far as he knew, there were only a few types of weird sexual fantasies.
"Neither? Then what kind of weird sexual fantasy do you have?"
Hearing Hakuto's question, the boy across from him suddenly became shy. After a long pause, he finally spoke.
"I... fantasize about being loved..."
Damn it! Discharge him from the hospital!!
Not only Hakuto but even Nao beside him was shocked!
"President, this is the 'great customer' you brought in..."
"How would I know..."
Hakuto couldn't believe that the very first client he met turned out to be a love-deprived child.
But luckily, in this field, he was a professional!
"Alright, I understand. So, are you looking for a girlfriend? I have a complete guide right here..."
Upon hearing Hakuto's words, the boy behind the one-way mirror shook his head.
"Teacher, that's not what I meant..."
"Every day, I see those lovey-dovey couples posting their sweet videos on social media. Do you know how jealous I am... I want that kind of happiness too, even just a little bit!"
Hakuto could actually understand. At this moment, he was even more inclined to teach the boy in front of him his methods of picking up girls.
"Alright! I'll personally guide you—"
But before Hakuto could finish, the boy interrupted again.
"Teacher, you still don't understand. What I want is not a love that I have to pursue, but a love that belongs to me alone..."
At this point, Hakuto started to feel that something was off... After all, what kind of guy would refuse his masterful girl-picking techniques?!
"Student... Can I ask about your daily life?"
"I just play games, watch anime, and stay home all day..."
Hearing this, Hakuto was even more certain of his thoughts!
"Oh~ So you mean, you're a shut-in who never steps outside and has no social interactions, yet you fantasize about a shy, slightly timid junior with model-tier looks, wearing a JK uniform."
"Then one day, this junior suddenly bursts into your room, eyes red, grabs your hand, and says, 'Senpai, why don't you understand my feelings?!'"
"Teacher, you're absolutely right! That's exactly what I imagined!"
"Fuck you! This isn't a weird sexual fantasy, this is just a damn fantasy. Takajo! Show him out!"
Hearing Hakuto's voice, Jojiro, who was standing at the door, carried out his duty as a doorman perfectly. He grabbed the boy and dragged him out the door.
But even as he was being dragged away, the boy kept shouting, "Teacher, you're truly my soulmate! I'll be back next time!"
"What kind of people are these..." Nao couldn't help but complain.
"And you! You brought him in! If this keeps up, I feel like I'll need to see a psychiatrist myself!"
"Huh~? How is this my fault? Just an exception!"
"Be ready to take me to therapy."
"Yeah, yeah!"
After that, Hakuto continued to meet with a series of clients, but every single one of them made him want to explode.
He was starting to wonder if this was really a counseling session or a shelter for special children.
The most normal request so far was a guy asking him how to chase after a girl.
This was a bit beyond the scope of psychological counseling, but Hakuto still decided to give his full support!
"Student, do you want a step-by-step approach or a fast-track method?"
"The faster, the better..."
Looking at the boy's face through the one-way mirror, Hakuto hesitated. The guy wasn't exactly goblin-level, but he certainly wasn't handsome either.
"How's your family's financial situation?"
"Just an average family..."
"I see..." The conditions were tough, but Hakuto still picked a method that seemed suitable.
"Alright, first, build a good relationship with the girl. Then, joke around and call her 'wifey' every day. Within a month, I guarantee results!"
Hakuto had no idea if this method would work. He just chose the one that seemed most promising—whether it worked or not was up to fate.
Just as Hakuto thought the case was closed, the boy suddenly blushed and, out of nowhere, muttered two words.
"Wifey..."
"??"
To be honest, Hakuto never expected this.
He never expected that because of a voice changer, people would mistake him for a girl!
He never expected that he, a seven-foot-tall man, would be flirted with by another guy!
And he absolutely never expected that the pickup method he just taught would be used against him the very next second!
"President! I quit! How can a proud and dignified man like me be harassed like this?! Where is justice?!"
"Alright, alright, I'll deal with him."
Even though Nao usually butted heads with Hakuto, there was an unwritten rule about rivals.
And that was—only she could tease him, no one else!
And so, Nao dragged the guy outside and gave him a proper beating. From then on, the counseling job was officially handed over to her.
"President, I can still do it. You're a girl, after all. It's not good for you to deal with this stuff."
"Say one more word and you're back on duty."
"Never mind, I'll shut up."
Hakuto was just being polite. If she really made him do it, he absolutely wouldn't. He was already driven crazy by all these fools.
Not long after, the next client arrived and sat down behind the one-way mirror.
But unlike before, this was someone familiar—at least to Hakuto.
The iconic pink hair, the signature bunny-ear headband, the ever-sunny, radiant smile.
Who else could it be but Yotsuba? And since Yotsuba was here, that could only mean...
Sure enough, when Hakuto looked up, he saw the other four Nakano sisters sitting by the entrance, chatting and laughing.
"Damn, they all came. Did no one read the 'one person at a time' rule?" Hakuto muttered under his breath.
Fortunately, the counseling job had already been passed to Nao. All he needed to do now was sit back and watch.
Yotsuba looked around curiously, scanning every corner. She even used the one-way mirror as a makeshift vanity to fix her hair.
"Welcome to the counseling event hosted by Hoshinoumi!"
"Whoa! What was that sound?!"
"No need to be so nervous, just relax."
Watching Nao parroting his lines, Hakuto had an impulse—he really wanted to punch her.
