Anime Crossover: My Girlfriend Has a System

He and Yukino Yukinoshita are very similar, extremely similar. Although they didn't get along when they first met, they can definitely become friends. Yoko likes the feeling of taking things one step at a time.

Just like now, through the accumulation of small things, the relationship between the two people gradually changed from strangers to friends.

"sorry..."

Yukino Yukinoshita lowered her eyelids and her voice trembled slightly. The thought of others being hurt because of her made her feel incredibly guilty.

"Why are you apologizing? You didn't push me, nor did you instruct me to do it. Everything was my plan, and I intended to do these things. It has nothing to do with you, so why are you blaming yourself?"

"After all, I'm the one who came to you for help..."

Yukino Yukinoshita spoke in the same tone as always, which sounded somewhat heartbreaking.

Ye Ziye was taken aback. He had never known that Yukino Yukinoshita had this side to her. His impression of this girl was that she was proud and strong, and also a bit sharp-tongued.

"I already said it's none of your business!"

Ye Ziye's tone hardened; he wasn't trying to show off his magnanimity, but simply stating the truth.

The plan was his, and the things he wanted to do were his ideas; it had nothing to do with Yukino Yukinoshita to begin with.

Now that Yukino Yukinoshita is trying to take responsibility upon herself, it only makes him feel uncomfortable.

Yukino Yukinoshita didn't speak this time. She opened her mouth and gently blew on Yoru's knee, thinking that this would relieve the pain.

Ye Ziye froze, not expecting Yukino Yukinoshita to use such a childish method.

However, if a girl as beautiful as an angel is gently blowing on your wound, any man would be tempted.

Ye Ziye shifted his gaze away, no longer looking at Yukino Yukinoshita's face.

He didn't enjoy this benefit for long, or perhaps Yukino Yukinoshita did it simply out of habit, and soon began bandaging his knees.

Her movements were very gentle, completely unlike her strong personality, and she seemed to have a lot of experience in bandaging, as her movements were not at all clumsy...

"The wound will scab over tonight and should be healed by tomorrow. I really don't know how you did it. It looks like you fell hard on the ground, but you didn't seem to get hurt much."

Yukino looked distressed. When she saw Yoko fall so hard, her heart skipped a beat, but she didn't expect him to be so lightly injured.

Ye Ziye frowned. For some reason, there was something strange about what Yukino Yukinoshita was saying, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was so strange about it.

"I told you I would control my strength."

Hand-to-hand combat and swordsmanship are not skills to be taken lightly. If it weren't for the need to make the performance more convincing, Ye Ziye could have avoided getting hurt at all.

Looking at the thick bandages wrapped around his knee, Ye Ziye frowned. Was this an overreaction? He saw himself as someone who was seriously injured.

After tying it a few more times, Yukino Yukinoshita stopped, tied a bow, and nodded in satisfaction at her masterpiece.

"Alright, we can open it at this time tomorrow!"

Looking at her leg, Ye Ziye knew she would be busy tomorrow; removing such a thick bandage would not be an easy task.

"Oh right, I forgot to mention something. Aren't you worried about damaging your image? You're quite popular among the girls, and they all seemed to be looking forward to your performance, but it turned out like this."

"It's okay, anyway, my popularity among girls isn't based on sports, but on other things, like my looks."

After Ye Ziye's unabashed boasting, the air fell into a brief silence, and Yukino Yukinoshita looked at him with a very incredulous expression.

"Isn't this joke funny?"

Ye Ziye was a little troubled. He thought that saying something that didn't match his usual self would be a good joke.

Was that a joke?

Yukino Yukinoshita was still a little dazed and put on a different expression.

"Didn't you hear it?"

No...

""

Ye Ziye and Yukino Yukinoshita exchanged a glance, sensing that the atmosphere was somewhat strange and cold.

"Don't joke around like that anymore..."

"Um..."

Chapter 73

After giving a soft reply, Ye Ziye remained silent.

He had intended to tell a joke to lighten the mood, but it seems he failed; perhaps he simply doesn't have a talent for jokes.

"Tell me what happened after I left."

Yukino Yukinoshita was silent for two seconds before speaking.

"After you left, Ito probably got too excited and strained his muscles when he jumped up, so the 1v1 match that you arranged fell through."

"So all our efforts were for nothing?"

Ye Ziye frowned. He felt like he was doing something meaningless and had even gotten a minor injury. This feeling was really not good.

"It wasn't a wasted effort, because after Ito got injured, his childhood friend immediately rushed over to check on him."

Ye Ziye's eyebrows furrowed even more. Wasn't this all for nothing? It seemed like these childhood sweethearts cared about each other.

Everything he did was simply to bring together a pair of childhood sweethearts who already liked each other.

Observing Ye Ziye's expression, Yukino Yukinoshita explained.

"I think our request was successful. Because of you, this 2v2 match was brought about, which is why Ito got injured, his childhood friend was able to care for him, and the two of them finally realized their feelings for each other. I think this is an unconventional way to complete a request!"

Yukino Yukinoshita spoke very seriously; for her, the request was already complete.

The fundamental reason for the request was that Ito wanted to win back the heart of his childhood sweetheart, and now that he has succeeded, the request is naturally fulfilled.

The Service Department's first truly meaningful commission has come to a successful conclusion!

"If these two people like each other, why don't they confess their feelings?"

Ye Ziye voiced his question. He was genuinely puzzled because these two not only refused to confess their feelings to each other, but also actively distanced themselves from one another, which was quite perplexing.

Yukino Yukinoshita also entered a serious thinking mode. She couldn't quite figure it out because she had never liked anyone before, and didn't know what it felt like to like someone.

"It's probably due to the psychological factors of adolescence... After all, it's hard to fathom the psychology of people at this age. It's precisely because they like each other that they distance themselves from each other, and it's also because they value each other that they don't dare to confess. After all, if they confess and fail, they can only remain friends."

Yukino Yukinoshita explained the reason she could think of: this request was indeed very strange. Whether it was completed or not seemed to have nothing to do with the Service Club. The two of them were just acting as facilitators.

"So, does that mean we've become matchmakers?"

Ye Ziye thought about it more and more and felt that this made sense, and he couldn't think of a better reason.

However, he wouldn't get angry or anything, because this was something Yukino Yukinoshita had entrusted to him, and he would naturally do it properly.

His mission is now complete, and the result seems to be quite good, so he has lived up to Yukino Yukinoshita's expectations.

"So, is this the end of the commission?"

"It's done!"

Yukino Yukinoshita answered very seriously, and then looked at Yoruichi earnestly and said...

"Thanks to you this time, you're a good person!"

The two of them were just discussing that kind of topic, and now Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly said something like that, giving Ye Ziye the illusion that he had been friend-zoned.

However, he soon put those feelings behind him. He and Yukino Yukinoshita were never in a romantic relationship, so why the "friend zone" label?

"It's okay, after all, you pretended to be my girlfriend before and even held my hand."

Seemingly recalling that scene, Yukino Yukinoshita clenched her small fist, her face flushing slightly.

She understood what Ye Ziye meant; all of this was simply him fulfilling his promise to Yukino Yukinoshita that he would help her if she needed it.

"Let's not talk about that time anymore. But why haven't there been any rumors about us dating on campus?"

At this point, Yukino Yukinoshita was also a little confused. Although it sounded a bit like she was bragging, she and Yoruichi were indeed popular figures on campus.

The two of them held hands in the office in front of the teachers. This kind of big news should have spread quickly, but there's not a word about it yet, as if it never happened.

"Because after you left, I told everyone who saw it not to tell anyone, but secrets don't stay hidden forever, and the news will leak out sooner or later."

Ye Ziye was quite pleased that those people had managed to keep their mouths shut for so long.

However, humans have always been outspoken creatures, and it's possible that if the 104 people in the know get emotional, this matter will be leaked.

"Oh."

Yukino Yukinoshita responded softly, not paying much attention to the matter.

Ultimately, she had already mentally prepared herself when she agreed to Ye Ziye's request, and had considered all the pros and cons of the matter.

A few days ago, she might have been somewhat resistant, but now that resistance is basically gone.

After the shopping mall, she learned about another side of Ye Ziye, and today, she understands this taciturn boy even better.

It's not that she developed feelings for Ye Ziye in such a short time; Yukino Yukinoshita isn't that superficial. She just doesn't dislike him.

She knew clearly that Ye Ziye was very similar to her, and that if they spent time together, they could become good friends.

Ye Ziye wasn't too surprised by Yukino Yukinoshita's reaction. He knew the girl's personality quite well, and this kind of thing wouldn't have much of an impact on her.

Aren't you going to PE class?

After a while, looking at Yukino Yukinoshita sitting there, Yoko couldn't help but speak up.

Five minutes had passed since their conversation, but Yukino Yukinoshita still showed no sign of going to class and remained sitting there motionless.

"I don't want to go to class, and I've already told the teacher that you're my friend and I'll take good care of you here."

"He believed it?"

"No, but I still came. He didn't believe me, and there was nothing he could do."

Ye Ziye remained silent. In this school, it's quite difficult to be a teacher without some family background; they're easily bullied by these students.

Perhaps in Yukino's understanding, this is nothing, since she has already told her purpose, so it doesn't count as skipping class.

"Then you can stay here..."

Although he wanted to be alone, he wouldn't say anything if Yukino Yukinoshita wanted to stay here, since it wasn't his private space.
