"That boy is clearly someone Yukino has feelings for, so why are all my actions based on the premise that he's already Yukino's possession?"

……

"Given my personality, even when dealing with someone, I can maintain a calm and amicable demeanor, showing no sign of my true feelings. But these two times I saw that boy, I couldn't help but unconsciously reveal my assertive side."

……

"The thoughts that inexplicably popped into my head this afternoon were even stranger."

This time... I need to get there before Yukino...

"Ahead of Yukino? In what way does Yukino currently surpass me?"

……

All sorts of questions surfaced in her mind, and it was precisely because she had something on her mind that Yukinoshita Haruno behaved so well at night.

"It seems this only happens in front of that boy; there are no problems at other times."

"Should we continue to have contact in the future?"

After hesitating for less than three seconds, the hesitation in Yukinoshita Haruno's eyes was replaced by determination.

"Keep in touch!"

"I want to see the truth of the matter!"

……

In fact, Yukinoshita Haruno had her doubts about Kasugano Mirai.

After all, getting close to him would cause problems, and anyone would immediately consider him the prime suspect.

However, after carefully recalling the circumstances of these two meetings, she removed Kasugano Mirai from the list of suspects.

"Both meetings were spontaneous; there was no pre-planning involved."

"Furthermore, based on my observation, he lacks knowledge and skills in psychological suggestion."

……

After thinking for a long time without being able to come up with a solution, Yukinoshita Haruno could only keep the problem to herself and leave it for later.

..............................................................................

Thursday.

Thursday.

After school, all members of the Service Club gather in the clubroom.

Compared to yesterday, there are some more things in the activity room today.

Seeing the three boxes on the ground, Yukino Yukinoshita turned to the person in question: "Kasugano-san, what's in the boxes?"

Kasugano Mirai truthfully gave the answer: "Yesterday I went to the secondhand book market and happened to catch them having a blind box-like event. The prices were cheap, so I bought three boxes."

"Now that everyone's here, let's open it together and take a look."

Yukino Yukinoshita naturally wouldn't object, and Yui Yuigahama and Hachiman Hikigaya also looked eager to try.

……

……

……

Fifteen minutes later.

The books that had been opened from the three boxes were neatly arranged on the table.

Before unpacking, Kasugano Mirai thought there might only be a few readable books inside, and the rest were mostly just there to make up the numbers.

Unexpectedly, nearly two-thirds of the three boxes contained books, and they were of a wide variety, including novels, comics, magazines, study materials, and other items.

I must say, this event is quite generous.

"Thanks a lot."

Yukino Yukinoshita whispered to Mirai Kasugano.

Upon receiving her words of comfort, the latter's expression remained unchanged: "At least I have to live up to the bento box that the president prepared early in the morning."

When Kasugano Mirai heard the girl say she would prepare a bento for him, he didn't really have high expectations.

He didn't think someone who buys bread and milk from convenience stores every day would put much thought into preparing a bento for someone else; it was more likely that they would just use rice balls or a bento bought from a convenience store to make up the difference.

But the lunchboxes he'd received over the past two days told him he was wrong.

The bento box prepared for him was clearly handmade, with a good balance of meat and vegetables, and tasted quite good.

What deserves the most praise is that the bento that Yukino Yukinoshita prepared for him was just like the bento that Kurumi Tokisaki prepared before, with hot miso soup in a thermos.

After finishing a cold bento box, a mouthful of hot miso soup is an irresistible, heavenly treat for most people.

Even if it wasn't his own idea to reform the Service Department, he would still have to put in the effort for the sake of the bento boxes, otherwise he wouldn't feel at ease eating them.

PS1: Yesterday was a joke. Yoshino and Nanami are not that young, but they are not their ages in the original work either.

If it were the original timeline, and the protagonist, an ordinary person, could easily win over the female lead, the author wouldn't be able to make sense of it in the special episode.

PS2: First, let's lay the groundwork, then the actual showdown... which is the bloodbath you've all been waiting for.

Chapter Sixty-Four: Hassan's Intuition [4k]

null

Chapter Sixty-Five: Love is a War [4k]

After purchasing the supplies, Eriri returned home with two friends.

"Eri, why are you back so early today?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Sayuri Sawamura saw the two people behind her daughter and blinked.

"Xiao Qiong and Xiao Hui are here too."

"Looks like Eriri is going to stay up all night playing games again tonight."

This wasn't the first time Kato Megumi and Kasugano Sora had met Sawamura Sayuri, so they weren't too nervous and greeted her in a natural and generous manner.

"Good afternoon, Sister Lily."

I apologize for disturbing you.

When Sawamura Sayuri called her "sister," she was overjoyed.

"Yes!" she replied, then turned to the servant and instructed, "Butler, prepare some snacks and drinks for the young lady and the guests, and deliver them directly to the young lady's room later."

"Got it, ma'am."

At this moment, Eriri, who had already changed into slippers and was eager to play games, said to her, "Mom, I'm taking Sora and Megumi back to their room first. I'll use your laptop later."

Eriri's room only has one computer, or two computers even if you include the laptop, but there are three people in the room now.

Fortunately, both Mr. Spencer and Sayuri Sawamura are otaku, and they have many popular games on their computers.

Therefore, whenever Kato Megumi and Kasugano Sora come to their friend's house at the same time, Eriri borrows her parents' computer.

"Okay, you can take mine."

With a casual wave of her hand, Sayuri Sawamura turned her attention back to Megumi Kato and Sora Kasugano.

"Eri's dad is busy at work today and may be home late."

"It's a bit lonely for just the two of you, Eriri and Megumi. If you don't mind, why don't you and Sora stay and have dinner together later?"

Upon hearing this, the two hesitated for a moment, but ultimately nodded in agreement.

"Thank you, Sister Lily."

"No thanks, no thanks!"

Sawamura Sayuri covered the lower half of her face with a fan, but her eyebrows and eyes were curved.

"My sister likes good kids who tell the truth."

Eriri was mortified upon hearing this, and without caring that there were other people present, she immediately retorted, "Your daughter is already in high school, what kind of older sister are you?!"

Despite being teased by her daughter, Sayuri Sawamura wasn't angry. She chuckled and said, "If Eriri goes out in her everyday clothes, people who don't know her will definitely mistake you for a middle school student or even an elementary school student."

"From this perspective, there's nothing wrong with me calling myself the older sister."

"@＃￥%

Eriri, whose sore spot had been touched, immediately bristled. Her elegant words made Kato Megumi and Kasugano Sora feel both embarrassed and amused.

The awkwardness stemmed from Sayuri Sawamura's identity, while the absurdity came from what she said.

Finally, Eriri, who was in a bad mood, was taken away by Megumi Kato and Sora Kasugano through a combination of force and persuasion.

After the three left, Sayuri Sawamura's smile faded slightly, and her gaze fixed on Kasugano Sora.

"My stepsister... never mind, Eriri and that child don't really get along right now, it's too early to worry about it."

..............................................................................

The second floor.

Even after being taken back to her room by her friend, Eriri continued to hurl profanities.

"What kind of mother is this?!"

"You deliberately hit a nerve!"

"From now on, you can just call Hui and Xiaoqiong 'Auntie'."

The two people who were named exchanged a glance, their smiles somewhat helpless.

My friends are in a bad mood right now and they're saying things without thinking. If they actually listen to them, they'd be the fools.

To distract her friend, Kasugano Sora said directly, "Eriri, didn't we say we were going to play games? I can't wait, let's start now!"

"Hmph, if it weren't for you speaking up, Xiao Qiong, I would definitely have had a good talk with that old lady."
