She put down the apron she was holding and walked over quietly.

"You seem to be having some trouble. Is there anything I can do to help?"

……

……

……

In fact, due to her childhood experiences of being ostracized and bullied, Yukino Yukinoshita is not the type to actively help others.

This can also be seen from the missionary principles of the Ministry of Service.

—To help those in need who come to us for assistance.

In other words, she will only help others after accepting their request to provide door-to-door service.

However, this principle has now been broken.

Faced with the lovable Yoshino, the girl's maternal instincts were awakened, and she offered to help.

If someone who knows her well saw her expression at this moment, they would be absolutely shocked.

Because that aloof beauty who was always cold and distant to outsiders was now smiling and cautiously asking others if they needed help.

……

……

……

Yoshino was discussing with Yoshino what style of apron to buy when she suddenly heard a stranger's voice behind her, which startled her so much that she almost summoned her spirit dress.

Fortunately, Yoshina reacted first, otherwise the situation would have been unpredictable.

"Oh~ I didn't expect her to be such a beautiful older sister."

Seeing Yukino Yukinoshita's expression and actions, the rogue rabbit quickly made up his mind.

Yoshino is buying an apron.

"However, because she doesn't usually go out, she couldn't make up her mind."

"If possible, I would appreciate it if you could help me with this."

"no problem!"

Yukino Yukinoshita readily agreed.

Putting aside the fact that she herself needed to buy an apron, and the maternal instincts that had been awakened within her, Yoshino's pure and innocent gaze, like that of a newborn fawn, was enough to make her unable to bring herself to refuse.

Moreover, Yukino Yukinoshita, who had imagined a tragic childhood for Yoshino, thoughtfully refrained from asking about Yoshino's whereabouts. In fact, to avoid upsetting Yoshino, she treated Yoshino as a person.

However, this action inadvertently made Yoshino develop feelings for her.

—Yoshino’s past experience of being hunted by the AST unit made her extremely sensitive to outside information. To her, Yoshino is both a hero and her best friend, so she naturally doesn’t like others treating her like a lifeless doll.

"Um... excuse me... thank you for your help..."

Yoshino, who rarely goes out, is undoubtedly shy.

Faced with Yukino Yukinoshita, who had taken the initiative to help, she mustered up a lot of courage before she could stammer out her thanks.

Even so, after saying just one sentence, Yoshino's delicate face had turned bright red, and a fine layer of sweat had appeared on her smooth forehead.

Yukino Yukinoshita did not find her reaction rude at all; on the contrary, she felt even more pity for her.

"Poor child."

"What kind of family environment could cause such a lovely little girl to develop schizophrenia, treating her dolls as people and talking to them?"

She wanted to help, but her future adult experience and maturity made Yukino Yukinoshita stop herself from doing so.

Upright officials can hardly break housework.

If the problem cannot be solved once and for all, her good intentions now may very well plunge the other party into a terrible predicament in the future.

"No trouble at all." Yukino Yukinoshita bent down and said in a kind tone, "Come on, tell your older sister what Mom wants, and I'll help you choose a style."

"Mother?"

Upon hearing this address, Yoshino was taken aback, tilting her head to look at Yukino Yukinoshita, her large, sapphire-like eyes filled with confusion.

However, her behavior led Yukino Yukinoshita to mistakenly believe that she had lost her mother, and her expression inevitably showed a bit of apology: "I'm sorry, I reminded you of bad memories."

Having unwittingly reopened someone else's wounds, Yukino Yukinoshita didn't linger on the topic to avoid causing Yoshino further harm.

She picked up an apron at random and looked down at Yoshino: "How about this apron?"

"It's a newly released style, and the response has been quite good."

"Hmm~"

Yoshino bit her finger and let out a soft, unintelligible whimper.

Yukino Yukinoshita took Yukino's silence as dissatisfaction and picked up another apron.

How about this one?

"Don't let its simple design fool you, it's very popular among the housewives in the neighborhood."

……

When Yukino Yukinoshita helped Yoshino choose an apron, Yoshino remained silent throughout.

Compared to the innocent Yoshino, Yoshina has a stronger ability to judge people and things.

She never sensed any malice from Yukino Yukinoshita.

That's why she allowed the other person to get close to Yoshino.

Otherwise, given her restless and mischievous nature, how could she possibly remain so quiet and silent as she is now?

……

……

……

"Thank you... sister..."

After paying, at the supermarket entrance, Yoshino thanked Yukino Yukinoshita while carrying a convenience bag.

"You're welcome."

Yukino Yukinoshita smiled slightly.

"Go home now!"

"I hope to see you again in the future."

"...Um!"

After walking a few steps, Yoshino turned around again, clenched her little fists and placed them on her chest, and mustered up her courage to say, "I...I am Yoshino...Big sister...is a good person."

Before Yukino could say anything, Yoshino disappeared like a startled rabbit.

Watching her jogging figure disappear into the distance, Yukino Yukinoshita smiled and shook her head, giving up on the idea of ​​stopping her.

"never mind."

"If fate allows, let's talk again next time we meet!"

................................................................................................................................................................................................................ ………………

Yoshino only stopped breathing heavily after she could no longer see Yukino's figure.

"Yoshino, how are you feeling?"

Yoshino wiped the sweat from her forehead while Yoshino asked her what she thought of the trip.

"Hmm~ It feels... interesting."

Once her breathing had calmed down a bit, Yoshino truthfully expressed her feelings.

"I'm glad Yoshino likes it."

"I can go out more often in the future."

"If I stay cooped up at home all the time, how am I going to go see my future boyfriend?"

Upon hearing Kasugano Mirai's name, Yoshino inevitably recalled what had happened the previous night.

Although Yoshino felt that she was content as long as she could stay by Kasugano Mirai's side.

But there is no harm without comparison.

Yesterday, Kasugano Mirai said words that were no different from confessions to Tokisaki Kurumi and Nanami, but she was left out. Even Yoshino, who has a simple personality, felt a little jealous.

But the girl didn't have the courage to tell the former directly that she felt uncomfortable.

Upon hearing Yoshina's words, the girl immediately had an idea.

"I...I know..."

……

……

……

In fact, just as Kurumi Tokisaki had guessed.

The rogue rabbit played a significant role in why Yoshino acted so boldly this morning, or rather last night.

Last night, after Tokisaki Kurumi helped Kasugano Mirai take a bath, the three spirits worked together to take him back to his bedroom.

Before going to bed that night, Yoshino refused Nanami's suggestion to sleep together.

In the middle of the night, amidst Yoshino's words like, "If Yoshino doesn't do something soon, all I'll be able to do in the future is yell at you for being so skilled," Yoshino mustered her courage and tiptoed into Kasugano Mirai's bedroom.

Originally, Yoshina suggested that the best approach was to get into bed without wearing pajamas.

However, Yoshino couldn't get over her inner hurdle, so she settled for sleeping fully clothed.

Otherwise, when Seven Sins wakes Kasugano Mirai up in the morning, the latter will really have no way to explain herself.

Facts speak louder than words. Do you think we police officers would believe what a criminal like you has to say?
