Mai Sakurajima and the others knew exactly what was going on.

Touma Kazusa joins the Superpower Club, ostensibly because she doesn't want to stay in the classroom during lunch break.

In reality, this is a lame excuse.

She just wanted to stay by Ye Xing's side.

However, knowing the truth is one thing.

Should we let Touma Kazusa directly express her true thoughts?

She absolutely could not do that.

Just as Touma Kazusa was at a loss, showing a rare display of panic, and even having the thought of running out the door, Yosei finally spoke up and stopped the fight.

"Almost got it."

Yukino Yukinoshita frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable.

When Touma Kazusa had the upper hand, Yohoshi acted as if it were none of his business.

Just when it was finally their turn and they were in the lead, ready to unleash their attacks, their opponent abruptly ended the fight.

Isn't this favoritism a bit too obvious?

Yukino thought about it again and realized that made sense.

Putting everything else aside, Touma Kazusa and Yohoshi are deskmates, two big shots in the back row of Class A.

My relationship with Ye Xing is clearly incomparable to that of Ye Xing.

It's normal for there to be bias.

"Yukoshita-san."

Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Yohoshi also wanted to correct Yukino Yukinoshita's personality.

"If I remember correctly, your philosophy is to help others, right?"

Yukino nodded slightly.

"Yes."

"So, what are you trying to prove with this?"

If someone else had asked this question, Yukino Yukinoshita would have completely ignored it.

She didn't need to explain to anyone the reasons for her actions.

but...

Except for the night star.

Whether it's her top-ranking grades, her ability to help others solve problems, or her somewhat similar nonchalant and flippant demeanor to her older sister Yukino, yet with an attitude that suggests she has everything under control, all of these things stirred up Yukino's hidden competitive spirit.

"I want to prove that there are relationships in this world that don't require any reciprocation and are free from any pretense."

"Oh, that's how it is."

Ye Xing nodded noncommittally, then smiled.

"What if I told you that I would die suddenly unless you kissed me right now? What would you do then?"

Silence fell over the room.

Saki Kawasaki, Kaimu Kitagawa, and Hina Amano, who had just joined, were dumbfounded.

Still lacking in experience.JPG.

Members like Mai Sakurajima, who had been with the group for a long time and were familiar with Yohoshi's personality, were already used to it.

First, pose a question, and then, based on the other person's answer, launch into a fierce barrage of your own values ​​and beliefs.

This is Ye Xing's specialty.

It seems that Yukinoshita is not immune to this fate either.

"kiss?"

Yukino Yukinoshita shook her head, feigning a calm and composed demeanor.

"How could someone die suddenly if they don't kiss me? I have no interest in such a ridiculous request."

"See, doesn't this contradict what you said?"

"Contradictory?"

Looking at the bewildered Yukino Yukinoshita and the smiling Yohoshi, the current members of the Xyz Club, including those who had been persecuted by Yohoshi's abstraction, all felt a very familiar aura.

Are you ready to start?

"That's right, it's a contradiction."

Yohoshi looked at Yukino Yukinoshita and smiled.

"What you want to prove is that there are genuine relationships in this world that are free from any pretense."

"But as a human being, you try to prove this conclusion about absolutely objective factors through your own actions, which are imbued with subjective consciousness. Isn't that a contradiction?"

"You conclude that it's impossible for someone to die suddenly without kissing, but that's just your subjective judgment."

"Unless one is omniscient and omnipotent, every person will bring their own subjective consciousness with them when making any action."

"Just as when others help others, they are seeking an exchange of benefits."

"Although you don't ask for anything in return on the surface, you have your own considerations for doing this."

"Such a motivation does not align with your definition of a relationship free from any pretense."

Hearing Yohoshi's words, Yukino had an indescribable feeling.

She felt as if her brain was being bombarded by the other person's seemingly logical arguments, which, upon closer examination, lacked a logical basis, leaving her unsure how to refute them...

She was raped.

Yukino Yukinoshita remained silent for a long time before finally responding to these remarks with a question.

"Nayori-kun, since you don't agree with my point of view, I'd like to ask, why did you help Kawasaki-kun and Kitagawa-kun?"

Ye Xing smiled and slowly uttered that timeless proverb.

"Because I want to, and I can."

Yukinoshita Yukino: "..."

What an impeccable statement.

She couldn't even refute it.

Just as without morality, one cannot be morally coerced.

I have no logic, so how can you use logic to refute me?

"So."

Yoruhoshi stood up, walked up to Yukino Yukinoshita, stared at her delicate face, and smiled as she spoke.

Why can't you just openly admit that you can't stand your sister and mother's hypocrisy, and that you want to help others to prove them right, and to prove yourself right?

Upon hearing this, Yukino Yukinoshita's usually calm and icy expression finally revealed a flicker of emotion.

"How...how did you know..."

"Look what you said."

Yohoshi patted Yukino Yukinoshita on the shoulder. The latter frowned slightly but did not flinch.

"I've met your mother once, as for your sister..."

"She and I have a very close relationship, we know each other inside and out."

........

After school.

"Night Star, there's something I'd like you to do with me today."

"Sure, let's go then."

Yohoshi did not hesitate much when faced with Mai Sakurajima's request.

"But you have to come with me to the shopping street first."

"Commercial street?"

Mai Sakurajima asked in confusion as she walked with Yohoshi out of the school.

"Has Mr. Oda received another new request?"

"That's not true."

Ye Xing waved his hand and smiled.

"There are just some things I want to ask about."

.......

After arriving at the commercial street, we went to that familiar shop.

Mai Sakurajima realized that Oda Noto wasn't the only one sitting in the shop.

And there was the old woman she had met in Wakayama City before, the one who used tarot cards to tell fortunes.

I remember... I think her name was... Divine Godmother?

"Hey Deng, I'm here."

Faced with Yoruichi's blunt words, Oda Noto's old face was filled with helplessness.

"Hey kid, I'm an old man, at least show me some respect."

"Let's just forget about it."

Night Star chuckled softly.

"If we're really talking about life experience, you're probably far behind me."

Oda Noto didn't pay much attention to those words and simply shook his head.
