Let's do it again, Yukino.

All the composure came to an abrupt end with this line from spring.

Unrequited love is the best pantomime.

But once it's spoken, it could turn into a tragedy.

"Um, I'm sorry, Aizawa-kun, I'm not actually as perfect as you imagine."

He scratched his head; he was never good at saying such things to girls he didn't know well.

"Ugh?"

"I am a genuine villain."

He recalled what Xiaoxue had once mentioned to him about Aizawa Shoko's evaluation of him.

Even he didn't know that he would have such a bright and positive image in the heart of the girl he had bullied.

however,

He also knew that the idealized image the girl had imagined was not actually Kasuga Gian himself.

Rude and stupid

Impulsive and impatient

Escapism coupled with arrogance

Just as Xiaoxue said, his true self is a collection of such flaws.

Well, although Xiaoxue kept repeating these words to him, which he could almost recite by heart, it was a little tedious, but not jarring.

"No, that's not true. Only I can understand from my own experience. You, Kasuga-kun, are not a person who likes to compete with others. You also hate meaningless violence."

The boy seemed about to reveal his answer, but Aizawa immediately chose to deny it.

"Really? Actually—"

a moment,

The boy, who had originally wanted to say something to Aizawa in front of him,

Out of the corner of my eye, I caught sight of a beautiful figure hiding in the shadows, extremely well concealed.

Just like when I secretly watched Yumiko and Hayato's confession.

A sly smile crept across his face.

Thinking of this,

The urge to directly reject the girl receded like the tide.

Because he had a better way.

I, Kasuga Gian, love to teeter on the edge of life and death.

Is not it?

(P.S.: Another juicy story happened in the chat section today. As someone who already owes readers at least fifty chapters, I'm not worried at all, hahaha, sob sob, orz.)

Chapter Ninety-Nine: His and Her Love War

Yukino didn't care.

Aizawa Shoko

Yes, I don't care at all.

If that idiot really is as she says...

He readily accepted Aizawa Shoko's confession.

She'll probably just laugh it off.

There will be no anger or loss of reason.

That's right, because of the second young lady of the Yukinoshita family.

Always maintain the elegance, nobility, and composure of the Yukinoshita family.

Yes, that's right.

And this is a good thing!

This means she can finally put down the burden she has carried for the past seven years.

Finally, she could live openly and honestly for herself alone.

Finally, I don't have to cook for two people every time I cook.

No more getting angry because that idiot always mixes his clothes with her spare underwear.

I won't have a headache anymore because of that idiot's idiocy.

Yes, for Yukino Shino, this was something that made her so happy that she could forget all the unhappy things that happened in her past life.

As for why she was hiding in the corner of the woods and secretly observing that idiot not far away like a thief.

It's just because of Yukino Yukinoshita

I simply wanted to witness this moment.

Witness the birth of that brand new couple.

Witnessing the moment of one's own liberation

Beneath the snow, lost in thought, the girl, who had retreated into the shadows, narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at the idiot's back, a remarkably calm smile on her face.

Let me look forward to it a little.

It's a sunny spring day.

And that random girl, whose name she had long forgotten.

……

…………

Looking at this end of the woods,

Kasuga Gian, who had originally planned to bluntly reject Aizawa Shoko,

At one point, out of the corner of his eye, he inadvertently noticed a glimpse of the pattern on the hem of a skirt peeking out from behind the shadow.

Although his palms instantly became covered in cold sweat,

But Gian, who can never shake his desire to court death,

A boy who dares to constantly test the edge of life and death.

A sense of mockery arose again.

He secretly wiped the sweat from his palms onto his school uniform pants.

A smile, seemingly oblivious to the fear of death, appeared on Kasuga Gian's lips.

……

"That Kasuga-kun, Kasuga-kun?"

When she suddenly saw a smile on the boy's lips that she couldn't understand, Aizawa Shoko subconsciously took it as a concrete expression of his affection for her.

"Um, you're Xiangzi, right?"

Chunri's tone was a bit gentler than before, which had been somewhat cold and hard.

He even called out the other person's name rather bluntly.

"Ah."

Aizawa looked somewhat incredulous at the boy's answer.

"Um, could you repeat what you were going to say to me earlier?"

"From that day on, I fell in love with you, Kasuga-kun. Even if you hate the person I was before, I will start to change my past shortcomings from now on. So if it's okay, please go out with me."

In the quiet campus courtyard,

The sound of wind could be faintly heard.

The girl, who had only intended to give it a try, successfully expressed her feelings to the boy.

"So, Xiangzi, what do you like about me?"

It's either my handsome appearance as Spring Fat Tiger, or my tall, mighty, and reassuring physique.

"I...I...I love everything about Kasuga-kun, including your gentleness."

The girl stammered, nodding earnestly at the spring sun.

It was as if I was forcing myself to believe it.

Pfft... Gentle, huh?

Hearing the girl's answer, Kasuga couldn't help but chuckle.

Apart from that second young lady, have I, Haruhi Kasuga, ever been kind to anyone?

That's never happened before.

Even lying didn't make me happy at all.

At least make me happy with the photos! Wouldn't it be better if the actors had real advantages like being handsome, dashing, or tall?

but,

Although the boy was internally criticizing all of this,

"Really? I'm really flattered. Even though Xiangzi is a cute girl, she's still very lovely."

Sunlight falls on the dappled shadows in the woods.

The boy suppressed a smile as he answered Aizawa, deliberately raising his voice so that a certain figure in the corner could hear him clearly.
