Yuta Kijima's eyebrows twitched.

However, besides Yuta Kijima, there was one other person present.

Yumi Kasumigaoka's beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly. Her daughter's idea had been going on for a long time, and there was no way to completely eradicate it.

If Yuta Kijima is indeed a trustworthy person, then sharing an apartment would be the perfect solution.

"Hey Shi, it seems like Kijima-kun isn't too keen on sharing an apartment."

"And you..."

"We only have a pure friendship!" Yuta Kijima explained.

Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms and nodded slightly: "That's right, and if anything really happens, you can call the police and have your junior arrested."

Kijima Yuta: "..."

“I can’t make that decision myself,” Yumi Kasumigaoka sighed softly. “Let’s wait until your father gets home before we talk about it.”

As she spoke, she glanced at Yuta Kijima with a complicated expression. She really couldn't raise this daughter anymore; all she did was come up with new tricks every day.

Kasumigaoka Utaha did not refute after hearing this. She knew that things had already progressed a lot by this point, and as long as there was room for negotiation, there was hope for success.

After that, her parents might spend some time evaluating Yuta Kijima. If he passes their final test, the relationship will likely work out.

Yuta Kijima breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. As long as he hadn't casually agreed to his senior's unreasonable request, there was still time to correct her strange idea.

He looked down on the idea of ​​sharing an apartment.

"I think you should think carefully about sharing an apartment, Auntie. After all, we are of different genders, and there will definitely be many inconveniences if we live together."

"Eh? Then... Kijima-kun, do you really not like our little Shi?"

Yuta Kijima was speechless and replied, "We're just very good friends..."

"Oh, feelings can be cultivated over time..."

"..."

I'm telling you, that's really enough!

"Mom!" Kasumigaoka Utaha said from the side, "If my junior really has feelings for me, would I still want to live with him?"

Kasumigaoka Yumi extended a slender, pale finger and gently tapped her cheek. "Shizuka, the final decision about this matter still needs to be made by your father. Mom can't make the decision for you right now."

"It's just that I might have to see Kijima-kun again then." After saying that, she looked at Kijima Yuta with a smile.

So even now you still won't listen to my thoughts?!

Yuta Kijima was at a loss for words when it came to this.

Kasumigaoka Utaha pursed her lips and nodded, saying, "I will talk to my father about it when he comes back. Besides, I didn't say that this matter would be implemented immediately. You can also check out junior's character yourselves."

Yuta Kijima stared at Utaha Kasumigaoka beside him with dead fish eyes.

Are you serious?

"Of course Mom knows about this," Kasumigaoka Yumi said with a light laugh, covering her mouth. "Speaking of which, your dad used to have a friend who worked at the police station. If Shi gets bullied someday, he'll help her out."

Chapter 219 Victory is certain

"Kishima-kun, you don't need to worry. If you really don't want to share an apartment with Shi in the end, we definitely won't force you."

Finally, Yumi Kasumigaoka noticed Yuta Kijima standing to the side.

She wasn't an unreasonable mother.

She also plans to discuss this matter with Yuta Kijima's parents. As for Yuta Kijima's own issues, that's up to Xiaoshi.

If Xiaoshi herself doesn't have the ability to get Kijima Yuta to agree, then they certainly wouldn't be able to force her to do anything.

……

Upon hearing this, Yuta Kijima breathed a sigh of relief. He was genuinely worried that his senior's parents would abandon her and leave her at his house.

Seeing this, he said, "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."

Kasumigaoka Yumi nodded, without offering any polite invitation to stay for dinner. Perhaps she would have asked him to stay if Shi hadn't brought up the idea of ​​sharing the apartment.

If I were to say it now, Kijima-kun might find it difficult to sit still while eating.

She glared at Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was still gloating, and said, "Utaha, why don't you go and see Kijima off?"

"After you've delivered it, we'll discuss this matter properly when we get back."

……

Outside the Kasumigaoka family home.

Kijima Yuta suppressed his dissatisfaction and did not put down the documents in his hand, staring intently at Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"Senior, did you already plan this out a long time ago?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms and said lazily, "You can't just slander someone out of thin air, junior."

"My original intention was to live alone on my own, but I never expected what would happen next."

Pack! Keep pretending!

Yuta Kijima has completely admitted defeat this time, but he also has his own bottom line. He won't be so easily fooled next time.

"Senior, you shouldn't have any other ideas. I'm quite comfortable living alone now."

"As Auntie just said, you couldn't have moved in if I didn't want to."

"Is that so?" Kasumigaoka Utaha shook her head dismissively, saying indifferently, "Anyway, you'll agree later."

Yuta Kijima had no idea where his senior got such confidence.

Knowing that the matter of Shoko was already over, even if the senior student revealed the agreement between him and Yuzuru, it wouldn't be a big deal.

He really didn't know what else his senior could do to him.

Holding the documents in his hand, Kijima Yuta couldn't get angry, so he left with the words, "Senior, you should give up on this idea."

Kasumigaoka Utaha watched his retreating figure disappear, lost in thought.

"Has our little Shi really ended up in unrequited love?"

A surprised and sympathetic voice reached Kasumigaoka Utaha's ears.

She turned around expressionlessly and saw that it was Hiromi Kasumigaoka, whom she had somehow managed to pull out.

"Junior just said that we have a purely platonic friendship," Kasumigaoka Utaha said calmly as she walked towards the door.

At this moment, Hiromi Kasumigaoka displayed a liveliness that was beyond her years, looking around at her daughter.

Then, shaking his head, he said earnestly, "Our Xiaoshi isn't the type to share an apartment with someone just because of friendship."

"I remember that... um... Aki Tomoya! Isn't he also Shi's friend?"

Yumi Kasumigaoka winked at her.

Upon hearing this, Kasumigaoka Utaha stopped in her tracks, pursed her pink lips, and said, "Rinichi-kun and I are more of a business partner now, and it's impossible for me to share an apartment with him."

If she was immature before, she has seen things clearly now.

To be honest, she now desires a more independent life, and what she said is true.

Her relationship with her junior is mostly a pure friendship, perhaps mixed with a bit of mutual appreciation between two light novel authors and both top students in their grade.

Only a little bit...

Honestly, if her parents don't want her to live alone, then there's nothing wrong with her finding a suitable roommate.

Yumi Kasumigaoka truly understands her daughter and is completely unconcerned about Utaha Kasumigaoka's current insincerity.

"Anyway, even if Dad agrees to it later, there's nothing we can do if Kijima-kun doesn't agree."

Kasumigaoka Utaha snorted and said, "We'll see when the time comes."

……

At this moment, Yuta Kijima.

All the way there, he kept recalling what had happened at Kasumigaoka Utaha's house, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became, his heart filled with resentment.

I was tricked by my senior for no reason.

Suddenly, the study materials in my hand didn't seem so appealing anymore.

When he got back to the apartment, he didn't go home right away, but instead turned around and knocked on the door of Yukino Yukinoshita next door.

She would usually be home by this time.

"Bang."

As the door opened, Yukino Yukinoshita, dressed in her school uniform, appeared before them.

After seeing who was coming from outside the door, she breathed a sigh of relief, left the door open for Empress Dowager Kijima, and turned to walk into the room.

Yuta Kijima, unaware of what was going on, entered the room and closed the door.

A short while later, Yukino Yukinoshita reappeared, this time with a soft and adorable cat in her hand.

Yukino Yukinoshita noticed Yuta Kijima's curious gaze and explained, "I thought it was my family coming when you knocked so suddenly, so I locked Mr. Pan in his room earlier."

Yuta Kijima nodded.

He truly felt that every family has its own problems, and he understood Yukino Yukinoshita's reaction.

Yukino Yukinoshita placed Mr. Pan on the sofa, poured them both a drink, and then asked about the reason why Yuta Kijima had suddenly come to visit without any apparent reason.

Yuta Kijima said, "I'm going to be a tutor soon, so I was wondering if you have any of your study notes that I could borrow."

Yukino Yukinoshita said, "Don't you have one yourself?"

As two students who are both ranked first in their grade, there's not much point in borrowing notes, since everyone thinks differently.

Upon hearing this, Yuta Kijima smiled awkwardly and said, "Well... I don't usually take notes."

"?"

Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at it in surprise. Although she often considered herself a genius beauty, she dared not be careless in her studies and would take notes on any slightly difficult points of knowledge.

Is this guy really smarter than me?

Yukino Yukinoshita gave him a long, languid look. "Wait for me a moment, I'll go into my room and get it for you."
