Nomiyama also forced a smile. He couldn't offer any comfort. How could he? Tell her he'd be more careful next time? How could he possibly be more careful next time...?

So he said, "I'll allow you to go a little too far next time you cheat."

"Pfft!!" Yukinoshita Haruno couldn't help herself for a moment, and she patted the back of the person next to her. "You said it!"

“Of course,” Nomiyama replied.

He then brought up that matter again: "Actually, Yukinoshita really wanted you to keep an eye on her. One of the reasons she took on the cultural festival work this time was because she wanted to show you."

“Yes, I know.” Yukino Yukino looked toward the auditorium. “Yukino always thinks that I handle everything perfectly and that I am the rightful next head of the Yukino family. But she doesn’t want to give up. She is thinking that as long as she follows my path and can do better than me, she will have the confidence to take the Yukino family from me.”

“You know her quite well.” Nomiyama did not deny some of the facts.

“We’re sisters, brother-in-law is my boyfriend,” Yukino Yukinoshita whispered.

......

"Yukino, is your speech ready?"

Eriri Sawamura was playing with the camera backstage when she casually asked a question.

"No," Yukino Yukinoshita replied.

"Huh?" Eriri Sawamura looked at her.

"I'll keep it in mind." Yukino Yukinoshita smiled at her.

"Just say it all at once," Eriri Sawamura complained, continuing to play with the camera.

Kato Megumi stood on the other side, quietly scrolling through her phone, ignoring the two people on the other side.

"Hey, Yukino, why did you take this school festival?" Eriri Sawamura asked casually, watching the camera. "He's not interested, and this won't help you grow. What's the difference between a school festival and playing house to you?"

Yukino Yukinoshita reached out and looked at her palm.

She slightly opened her palms, then closed them, savoring the feeling of complete control.

“Eri, some things aren’t just for your own benefit.” Yukino Yukinoshita looked up at the curtain. “In fact, most of the things we do in life aren’t just for our own benefit.”

“If it were just for myself, I wouldn’t be here now. I would go to him, wander around the campus with him, and waste my youth that I can only place with him.”

"Your youth can only be placed with him?" Eriri Sawamura said casually, fiddling with the camera. "He noticed your attitude, which led to the current situation."

Did my attitude lead to this situation?

Yukino Yukinoshita frowned, looking at Eriri, who was completely different from before: "What do you mean?"

What does that mean? Kato Megumi glanced over there and turned off her phone.

Who knows, that scumbag who takes advantage of us.

“Who knows?” Eriri Sawamura stood up. “Alright, Yukino, you should prepare your speech.”

Yukino Yukinoshita gave her a deep look and walked forward.

......

"Alright, I should go watch Yukino's speech now."

As he spoke, Nomiyama prepared to jump off the building, for jumping off a building is always convenient and quick.

"No rush." ​​Yukinoshita Haruno grabbed him, her eyes filled with emotion.

"Kazehaya, you just said that you'd allow me to go a little too far next time we have an affair, right?"

Nomiyama turned to look at her, and after a second of eye contact, he picked up the paper bag and prepared to jump.

Yukinoshita Haruno grabbed him and pressed herself against him.

At the same time, Yukino Yukinoshita's voice came over the radio.

Are you all satisfied with this year's cultural festival?

Yukinoshita Haruno pressed herself against him.

"It was an unprecedented event; I think that's a perfectly appropriate way to describe it."

Yukino kissed him and began to wait for his response.

"My heart gradually calmed down; at least I didn't disappoint your expectations."

Yukino grabbed him, and as she listened to the broadcast, her movements became even more intense.

"Boom!!!"

Then a series of hurried footsteps sounded.

Nomiyama pushed her away and turned his head.

The scattered footsteps that had been broadcast over the loudspeaker had disappeared.

A person suddenly appeared in the corridor.

Yukinoshita Haruno released his grip, looked at the person with his head down, and then at her younger sister.

The 245th Sister: Sorrow and Resentment, Jealousy and Hatred

Yukino Yukinoshita took a deep breath, and a smile appeared on her face.

She walked steadily, her back straight, confidence emanating from her, and her pride beyond question.

Holding the microphone in her hand, she glanced at the audience below, showing no sign of stage fright.

The plan had already been prepared in my mind; all that was needed now was to speak it out calmly, just as I had envisioned.

With a slight twitch of her eyes, Yukino Yukinoshita was somewhat surprised.

Nomiyama-kun wasn't there. Logically, he would definitely be there at a time like this; he really enjoys seeing himself looking confident and proud.

Smiling, Yukino Yukinoshita delivered her speech, her heart filled with unexpected surprise.

My sister isn't here either. She should really enjoy watching me, but she didn't come during the performance and she's not here for the final speech either.

His words remained unchanged, and his eyes were still confident and composed, only his gaze moved slowly.

She was a little angry and resentful, angry at her boyfriend's absence and resentful of her sister's disappearance.

She began scanning the campus, trying to see where he had gone.

Their gaze froze for a moment, their beautiful blue pupils suddenly contracted, then expanded, turning into a blank, unresponsive look.

What's this?

The microphone slipped from my hand without my noticing.

"Boom!!"

Finally, reason prevailed and she managed to control her actions slightly. Instead of acting unusually in front of the entire school, she stepped out from behind the stage curtain amidst her scattered running.

She appeared in the corridor where the two people were, head down, without saying a word.

......

Eriri Sawamura heard the speech stop, followed by an unusual sound, as if something had fallen to the ground.

She frowned and looked towards the curtain.

Yukino appears, then disappears.

Eriri Sawamura remained silent for a moment.

This was the first time she had ever seen her friend so bewildered, so lost, so even in hidden pain, that even her beautiful eyes seemed to have lost their sparkle.

Her gaze shifted, and Eriri Sawamura looked towards a certain spot on campus.

Oh, the bomb that was hidden deepest next to Yukino has exploded.

Well fried!

Only by blowing it up can we try to separate him from Yukino, even if it's just for a while, just to give ourselves some breathing room.

After putting down the camera, Eriri Sawamura stood up and slowly walked towards the curtain and onto the stage.

She is the eldest daughter of the Sawamura family and, apart from Yukino, the person who handles the most affairs among the executive committee members of this cultural festival. Theoretically, it wouldn't be a problem for her to be the vice chairperson of the executive committee.

In this situation, the first thing to do is to help them clean up this mess.

With a gentle, young lady-like smile on her face, Eriri Sawamura confidently and calmly stepped onto the stage.

......

After she left, only one person remained in the preparation room.

Kato Megumi only needed to think for a moment before she understood.

Currently, there are only three people on campus who can cause Yukinoshita to have emotional problems or even lose control.

Eriri is here.

That leaves two people.

It turned out to be the case.

The bomb that had been hidden for so long finally exploded.

Turning around, Kato Megumi walked outside. She remained unhurried, calmly brushing past Hiratsuka-sensei who had rushed over, and quietly avoiding the student council members.

Kazehaya might not be able to handle Yukinoshita this time, because he has kept this a secret for too long, and the person he is hiding it from is too special.

Yukinoshita's sense of righteousness and discipline has already pushed her tolerance to its limit with her current girlfriends. Now, if she adds fuel to the fire with the story of "the older sister and his secret," the consequences will be unpredictable.

If Kazehaya fails to handle the situation, and Yukinoshita and he part ways, even if it's only temporarily, it's still a possibility.

I could go back to that house during this time and take things further with him.

There's no rule that says it has to be her who has the highest chance of being on the ball.

In the quiet, Kato Megumi walked toward the teaching building.

......

Nomiyama looked at the person who was looking down and not meeting his gaze, and took a step forward.

Yukinoshita Haruno grabbed his wrist and gently shook her head: "Give us sisters some time alone."

She took two steps forward, looked at her sister who still wasn't making eye contact with her, and took a deep breath.

"Let's go, Yukino, just the two of us."

As soon as she finished speaking, she disappeared from the spot.

When Nomiyama looked over, Yukinoshita was no longer there.

He closed his eyes to sense the world, then turned his head to look at the rooftop of the building next door.

He turned around and slowly walked in that direction.

Since entering high school, he has often relied on that most basic point to force things to go.

That is, the other person's liking and preference.

If he had made it clear from the beginning, there was a chance that he could have created a connection with Yukinoshita and helped her gradually accept the situation. Of course, it was only a certain chance.

As for now, he lacked confidence... mainly because Yang Nai held a special place in the other person's heart, and it had been kept a secret for quite some time...

Plans and expectations are useless now; everything depends on the conversation and reactions of the three of them.

......

"What, aren't you going to ask me anything? You should be full of questions."

Yukino looked at her younger sister, who was still looking down, turned around, and took a step closer to the rooftop railing. Then she leaned against it and crossed her arms.

"Aren't you going to ask? Or are you so shocked that you can't speak?"

For the first time, Yukino Yukinoshita raised her head. The determination in her eyes was gone, replaced by confusion and a suppressed pain. She looked at her composed older sister, her voice hoarse but not hysterical. She simply asked the question in a husky voice.

"why?"

"Why?" Yukino Yukinoshita repeated the question, looking at her younger sister. Her beautiful long black hair was being blown by the wind, still beautiful and pretty, but her red eyes only gave her a pitiful and broken look.

Shrugging, Yukinoshita's answer was simple: "Because I like him, what other reason could there be?"
