Let's do it again, Yukino.

Tokyo,

In the secluded chambers of a certain young lady,

Kaguya looked at the reply that appeared on her phone screen shortly after, then looked up at Hayasaka who had been standing beside her, and said happily.

"Oh? Qingdi replied as expected, in just two minutes. Xiao Ai was right. A simple greeting won't do. From now on, all my emails with Xiao Qing will be handled by you."

"Leave it to me, young lady."

The blonde maid glanced hesitantly at the four-word reply from Young Master Qing in the email.

"I'm asleep, do not disturb."

These four characters are simple and concise,

But it also gave her a strange sense of unease.

Is it just my imagination?

……

…………

The next day

In Class B of Zongwu High School,

Hiratsuka Shizuka stood in front of the podium.

She glanced at the boy sitting at the back of the classroom with a hint of amusement.

"Hey, not bad, Haruhi-kun, those red marks on your face are quite unique."

At this moment, Kasuga, who was cosplaying a protagonist from a ninja anime with "six whiskers" on his face, felt guilty and forced a smile while falsely accusing his unusually clingy British Shorthair cat.

"We recently got a cat, but it's been neglected and has a very primitive temperament..."

From this day forward, I will fight you to the death, you Shinomiya family!

(P.S.: An extra chapter added on short notice, please vote!)

Chapter Ninety-Three: The boy who once flew with me, how are you?

"Naruto Uzumaki? You're still a Naruto fan even without Kasuga-kun."

After class, Nagato, who sat in front of Haruhi, stared at Haruhi's cat-scratched appearance for a long time before asking her a question with some concern.

"No way!! I don't read comics, okay?"

Haruhi retorted mercilessly to Nagato, who was still rude, while secretly writing something in her diary with a pencil.

"Haruhi-kun, what are you secretly writing this time? Fifty kinds of... women you can't have?"

Nagato peered over with some curiosity. Her pretty face, devoid of any emotion, was a little too close to Haruhi's. When she saw the titles at the top that were somewhat amusing to others, she couldn't help but read them aloud.

"Kasuga-kun? Are you feeling unwell again?"

"Nagato, so please turn your body around!"

While clutching the newly bought "killing book," Kasuga angrily ordered Nagato, who was peeking at the last bit of secret a man should have.

This phrase has become Haruhi's common catchphrase when talking to Nagato.

Seriously, if Nagato were to reveal this confidential document to Yuki, my life would be over.

However,

A fun idea recently popped into my head in springtime.

He plans to buy a time capsule during this time, hide the notes he wrote down over seven years of his previous life inside, and then wait for the next seven years in the future to reopen the time capsule.

and,

This notebook, titled "Fifty Types of Women You Shouldn't Have," will be buried by Chunri as the last shred of dignity for her man in the long river of time.

The first reflection was already written during class time. Luckily, I managed to cover up all of it just now. Otherwise, if Nagato, who was already starting to suspect my relationship with Yuki, had seen it, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

The first type is the girlfriend who frequently resorts to physical violence against her lover, leaving her handsome boyfriend with marks on his face year-round. This forces the boyfriend to repeatedly and insincerely slander and falsely accuse his pet in front of relatives, friends, classmates, and even teachers: "My old cat is unruly and has a very primitive temperament..."

Well, let me state upfront that I'm not writing this because I have any resentment towards my cats, Xiaoxue and Xiaoxiaoxue. Although his status in the family dropped a level after Xiaoxiaoxue joined the family, he still deeply loves the girl and the cat.

Snow may torment me a thousand times, but I will still love Snow as my first love.

The main reason for writing this is for their future seven years from now.

I'll dig it out again later and use the notes I've written inside to make Xiaoxue or my future self laugh.

Although at this moment, he felt that this behavior was indeed a bit boring, and even accompanied by a hint of danger.

With this in mind, Chunri wrote down her second reflection.

The second approach involves immediately conducting a meticulous, Sherlock Holmes-like full-body inspection of the boyfriend who has just returned home from work—most likely to find long hairs on his clothes and lipstick marks on his face. If nothing is found, she will use a cold tone and a stinging tactic to intimidate her handsome boyfriend: "Kneel down and confess honestly, who exactly was that little fox you were chatting happily with on the street the other day?!"

that,

Springtime Gian,

Are you really sure you wrote this just to make Xiaoxue laugh?!

Was it really not because she was too depressed that she decided to pour out her daily troubles in her notes, and even locked them up safely in a time capsule because she was afraid that someone would find them?

No, that's not true!

……

…………

At noon,

Serving outside the department,

"Did you call me here for something? I'm in a bad mood today, and I don't want to see anyone looking so ridiculous."

Spring Day, who had originally planned to have lunch in the classroom, received a message from Snow at the last minute and left the classroom somewhat reluctantly.

The long-haired girl, who had her eyes half-closed, leaned calmly against the entrance of the service department. When she saw Haruhi walking over reluctantly, she made a shushing gesture to the latter and pointed her slender finger to the spot behind her.

Serving within the department,

The faint sound of a conversation between Hachiman Hikigaya and Yui Yuigahama could be heard.

"I'm sorry, it seems like I've made you worry, but from now on, I hope you don't have to worry about it. My being alone is ultimately my own fault and has nothing to do with the accident that happened before. There's no need for you to feel guilty or pity me for it... If you're being gentle with me because you care about that, please stop."

In the Service Club, Hachiman's somewhat ruthless words rang out.

Not long after,

"Little Qi, you idiot!!"

With a sob in his voice,

Yuihama's footsteps approached the doorway.

Chunri quickly pulled Xiaoxue to hide in the empty classroom next door.

The door to the Service Department was pushed open forcefully.

The dumpling-shaped girl ran away from the Service Department.

The boys in the service department watched the girl leave.

……

In the classroom next door,

Recalling what he had just heard,

Springtime sighed with a sense of relief.

"Xiaoxue, is this the legendary self-destruction by Teacher Da? The most classic flag-pulling move?"

He had intended to lighten the mood with some jokes, but instead...

"Do you remember? I once told you that there was a car accident involving Hachiman when we started high school."

Speaking of car accidents,

Springtime felt a deep impression of this word for some reason, after all, his and Xiaoxue's rebirth in this life was largely related to that inexplicable car accident.

However, the car accident that Xiaoxue mentioned happened during her first year of high school.

If it weren't for the girl's reminder, he would have almost forgotten how Koyuki, Yui Yuigahama, and Hachiman got entangled in the first place.

"I heard you mention it, Xiaoxue. It seems to have happened on the first day of school. Hachiman got hit by a car while trying to save a pet dog, right?"

Haruhi recalled the messages Yukinoshita had shared with him in the past, and spoke haltingly.

"The pet dog was named Sabre, and it was owned by Hihama. I was in the car that hit Hachiman at the time."

"That's not right..."

Spring seemed to remember something, covered her forehead, frowned, and shook her head.

"What's wrong?"

Looking at Haruhi, who was bent over and sweating profusely as if he were trying his best to think about something, Yukinoshita subconsciously took out a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped the boy's face.

"I'm not feeling well."

"I remember now."

Suddenly, Chunri raised her head and looked at Xiaoxue with a look of realization.

"I knew it. The boy who was hit and thrown into the air with me looked familiar. It was Hachiman, and that dog that wouldn't let go of me."

The boy murmured something strangely, his expression becoming somewhat subtle.

"What do you mean?"

Upon hearing this, Yukinoshita stopped what she was doing, a vague sense of foreboding rising within her.
