Don't treat my emotions like ATM savings! But... since you know how to draw out my soft side, I suppose... I will let you monopolize my doting face forever! dummy!' / 【ハルカ部長のワンポイント指導】『ひきだす（引き出す）よ！『ハルカ部長、あなたのツンツンの奥に隠された極上のデレ本音、僕の熱いハグによって完璧に引き出すことができました！』って…っ！デレを引き出した！バカ！/// 私の照れ隠しをそんなふうに攻略しないでよ！…でも、引き出された私の溺愛モードは一生元に戻らないんだから、最後まで責任を取りなさい！』. On the other hand, 抜く (ぬく (nuku)) maps to "to pull out, to extract, to omit, to skip" (Syllabus Level: N3) and represents Transitive verb. Can refer to physically pulling something out.
