The goal of life is to break up all couples

Well, since there is no normal and reasonable reason, the problem can only lie with Matsueda Azusa's awkward personality.

In addition to the conversation he had just eavesdropped on between Matsueda Azusa and that classmate, Yamada Ryo quickly realized the following situation: it was not that Matsueda Azusa had someone else he loved in his heart that made him unable to accept Yamada Ryo's feelings, but because he had someone else in his heart that made him unable to accept it.

The two might sound almost identical, even shortened to mean the same thing, but for Matsueda Azusa, the difference is likely profound. Someone may have corrupted her, but her view of love is far too extreme. While things seem to be returning to normal lately, her original framework remains deeply ingrained and difficult to shake.

Simply put, Matsueda Azusa's basic expectation for being a couple is to be "the only one" - not just the only one in the sense of a couple, but also the only one in the whole world.

This means that if Matsueda Azusa accepts that Niu becomes a couple with someone, he will have to prioritize everything else and even give up some things for them.

But this was exactly what was troubling Matsueda Azusa—he subconsciously didn't want to give up everything he had. After all, perhaps for him, this brief period of time had been a rare and precious time of happiness. So it was hard for him to give up what he already had for the illusory happiness he'd supposedly gained from being in a relationship.

It's normal to have this kind of entanglement, because it's obvious that even Yamada Ryo wouldn't give up Nijigao and end the band just for a relationship. This is obviously because Matsueda Azusa's views are too extreme. Love is certainly not something that requires you to give up something.

As a result, there was a conflict between his self-expectations and his own desires, which led to his inability to accept Yamada Ryo's feelings.

This is what Yamada Ryo guessed, and she was sure that she was very good at judging people, and she thought that Matsueda Azusa probably thought so.

But it may not be a bad thing for Matsueda Azusa to be confused and question himself - because in this way, he will soon find that his previous ideas were too extreme from the underlying structure - because it is obvious that interacting with people does not mean giving up other existing connections.

Once he gradually corrects his view on love after facing the reality, dating will become less difficult.

But... in the same way, if he wakes up too quickly, it may not be a good thing. The reason is also very simple, because Yamada Ryo has not yet succeeded in taking him down.

If Yamada Ryo finally helps Matsueda Azusa adjust her concept of love to normal, but suddenly some other people come out and take advantage of her... wouldn't that make him the clown among clowns?

Therefore, her best strategy now is to prolong the period of Matsueda Azusa correcting his own ideas as much as possible, while ensuring that he will not accept the confession of other thieving cats, and gradually become an absolutely indispensable and important part of his life. In this way, when Matsueda Azusa truly realizes that falling in love does not require him to give up everything else, he will also realize that he can no longer live without Yamada Ryo.

And what is the way to do this? That's right! Becoming Matsueda Azusa's "family"! This identity can not only further strengthen the relationship between the two, but also reduce Matsueda Azusa's subconscious vigilance. With this level of identity, even if they make more intimate actions, it is reasonable, right?

Win! Win big!

Yamada Ryo had no idea how she could lose, given her meticulous observation and incredible wisdom. She was practically trembling with fear at her own awe-inspiring wisdom.

Seeing Yamada Ryo's mouth suddenly curl up uncontrollably, revealing a strange smile that was completely inconsistent with his character, Matsueda Azusa took a small step back in fear: "What...what's wrong? Why is your expression so weird?"

Yamada Ryo instantly calmed down his expression and tilted his head: "Because I'm very happy."

Meanwhile, Kita Ikuyo was caught in a dilemma. Ryo-senpai and Matsueda Azusa were now "family," but that meant they weren't lovers. So, she wouldn't be deceived. And logically, she could have someone else as a lover, right? So, didn't she still have a chance? So, she didn't need to offer herself as bait... anymore, right?

But, no, no, Ryo-senpai never admitted that being family meant they couldn't be lovers! And who knows what this terrifying jerk, Matsueda-san, is up to? Maybe some weird, heavy-handed play on turning family into lovers?

Thinking about it this way, it feels even more terrifying! No, I really have to keep a close eye on Matsueda-san! Ryo-senpai has been completely bewitched, and Pochi-chan is completely unable to fight against Matsueda-san. At the same time, of course, we can't let Hongxia's mother and Matsueda-san get too close, lest they be contaminated by the devil... So, she is the only one who can save the band!

Kita Ikuyo once again showed a determined look.

"That that..."

At this moment, the dizzy Goto Ichiri finally regained consciousness. After hearing the conversation between Yamada Ryo and Matsueda Azusa, her eyes lit up.

In fact, Goto Ichiri has always had a bit of inferiority complex. Although she has already regarded Matsueda Azusa as a very important friend in her heart, she has never received the other party's personal recognition, so she is always worried whether Matsueda Azusa thinks so too.

However, the fact that Matsueda Azusa had just agreed that she could continue to call her teacher gave her confidence.

The so-called "family" should refer to a relationship closer than friends, right?

So after hearing this conversation, Goto Ichiri immediately followed suit and asked, "Matsueda-kun, um... I also want to become 'family' with you. Is that okay?"

Yamada Ryo turned around in shock and looked at Goto Ichiri behind him.

What?! The traitor actually popped up?! It was Pochi? An unexpected path unfolded!

Matsueda Azusa nodded without hesitation. "Huh? Of course you can. Actually, I'm quite happy that you're willing to do this."

"Puff!!"

Steam started coming out of Goto Ichiri's head again.

Family → Wife → Marriage!

A strange deduction program suddenly took shape in Goto Ichiri's mind.

She pulled out a piggy bank from somewhere and respectfully handed it to Songzhi Zi with both hands: "Here, here are all the dowry I saved...!"

Chapter 198: Give her a punch! Yukinoshita Yukino!

It took a lot of persuasion from the band to finally make Goto Ichiri wake up. After she realized what she had done, she immediately fell to the ground and turned into a pool of pink slime. She squirmed very consciously and shrank behind everyone and began to withdraw.

Correspondingly, Kita Ikuyo looked at Matsueda Azusa with increasing fear. Clearly, in her eyes, Matsueda Azusa had become some kind of indescribable, unlooked-at, unmentionable memetic evil god.

Finally, after many twists and turns, Matsueda Azusa finally brought a group of people to find Yukinoshita Yukino who was in the conference room handling official business.

However, before Matsueda Azusa could even open her mouth after entering the conference room, she heard Yukinoshita Yukino angrily shouting into the connected phone with a serious face: "What do you mean? You're suddenly telling me now that you can't perform?!"

"The bruises on your face haven't healed yet, so you can't go on stage? What kind of excuse is that?!"

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier? Why did you have to wait until the school anniversary performance was about to start? ...Did you think the bruises would heal by today?"

"You can just cover that up with makeup before going on stage, right? Besides, the audience can't really see your face... Can't get used to the low-end makeup the school provides? Then why don't you bring your own?"

"What do you mean by 'no'? Who on earth would believe you... Wait, are the bruises really still there? Sis, take a picture of yourself and show it to me!"

"Don't pretend the signal's bad! Don't hang up—Hello!"

Yukinoshita Yukino slumped heavily in the chair, feeling a black screen in front of her eyes. Her fingers kept rubbing her temples hard, and she was obviously very angry.

I was so angry that I fainted.

After the band finished, the students looked at each other. Hong Xia cautiously asked Song Zhizi in a low voice: "Did we come at the wrong time? If not, we can go shopping on our own. It's better not to disturb this classmate..."

Songzhi Zi shook his head: "I think I know what happened... You wait here for a moment, I'll go ask."

As he spoke, he walked forward and knocked on the table in front of Yukinoshita Yukino: "What is that guy Haruno doing again?"

Yukinoshita Yukino, who had closed her eyes in anger, was startled. When she opened her eyes and saw that it was Matsueda Azusa, she breathed a sigh of relief and explained with a helpless sigh: "My sister... originally had a performance project to perform in the afternoon, but just now she suddenly informed me that she refused to go on stage because the bruises on her face have not healed... No, that was just a random excuse..."

Songzhizi understood.

He knew that Yukinoshita Haruno was up to no good. She had been severely beaten by Matsueda Azusa before, so of course she couldn't let it go so easily, otherwise she wouldn't be Haruno.

However, this time she directly avoided Matsueda Azusa and used a different method to achieve her goal - that is, to cause trouble for Yukinoshita Yukino.

That girl is really cunning. Using this excuse to refuse to perform on stage means that she doesn't even need to come to school. In that case, won't Matsueda Azusa have another chance to punch her?

Now the pressure is on Yukinoshita Yukino.

To be honest, although Matsueda Azusa could understand why Yukinoshita Haruno treated Yukino like that, and they had discussed it in the infirmary at that time, no matter how he thought about it, he felt that it was too abstract.

Simply put, that guy is truly sick. Just as sick as Matsueda Azusa, he's no less sick.

But no matter what, the pressure on Azusa Matsueda was only on outsiders, not on his friends. But Yukinoshita Haruno was polite and respectful to outsiders, but with those close to him—or Yukino, let's just say—he would resort to all sorts of tactics.

A pure civil war expert.

Although the current problem wasn't difficult to solve, as it wasn't something Yukinoshita Yukino had caused, or something she needed to solve, she only needed to report it to the student union and the school. They would naturally coordinate matters related to off-campus performances themselves, and it wouldn't be up to her, a mere committee chair, to resolve it.

But the problem is that Yukinoshita Yukino has an extraordinary sense of responsibility, not to mention that this problem was caused by her sister. Therefore, she will definitely try her best to solve it herself - this is exactly what Haruno wants to see.

Moreover, the impact of missing the performance is not that big. In addition, Yukinoshita Haruno does have a barely acceptable reason, and the school will not hold her responsible. Missing the performance cannot be compared with destroying the entire school anniversary preparations. Basically, it will not cause any public opinion impact. The only one who is hurt is Yukinoshita Yukino.

——If Matsueda Azusa hadn’t gotten involved, this would probably have been the outcome.

"So, have you figured out how to solve this problem?"

Songzhi Zi raised his eyebrows.

Although this matter actually had nothing to do with him at all, even Yukinoshita Haruno had deliberately avoided him, fearing that she would have anything to do with him again, and chose to secretly give Yukino a big deal.

But she hadn't calculated a single thing. Unexpectedly, this incident still happened to Songzhi Zi, and Songzhi Zi was still unhappy with her inexplicable bad behavior, and at the same time—

It just so happened that not long ago, Nishimiya Shoko, who had met Matsueda Azusa, had just said that she was very interested in the afternoon music performance.

Nishimiya Shoko is already pitiful enough, but Yukinoshita Haruno even bullies the hearing-impaired. She has absolutely no bottom line.

Why don’t you go buy some melon seeds for Nitro!

Although she may not have intended to target Nishimiya Shoko intentionally - or rather, it was certainly impossible for her to have such an idea - this did not prevent Matsueda Azusa from taking her out on him.

This is what the rotten guy deserves.

Just like Matsueda Azusa never felt that he was innocent if he was put in a sack and beaten up while walking on the street one day, the same thing applies to him with Yukinoshita Haruno. If you are a bad person, you should be prepared to get beaten up.

Hearing Matsueda Azusa's question, Yukinoshita Yukino rubbed her brows in distress: "I haven't thought about it yet, but time is running out, so we have to take action no matter what. Let's report this matter to the school and the student union first, and then I will go and coordinate with the participants of the other performance projects to see if I can ask them to extend the time for each performance..."

"No need to bother."

Matsueda Azusa spoke.

If that's the case, then the original performance program will be lost, right?

Yukinoshita Yukino stopped talking and looked at Matsueda Azusa in confusion.

"It's just a music show, it's not difficult to solve. If Yukinoshita Haruno doesn't do it, there are plenty of people who will."

Matsueda Azusa looked directly into Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes and raised a finger: "Yukinoshita-san, make a deal with me. A deal that's guaranteed to win for you."

"? What deal?"

Yukinoshita Yukino frowned, not understanding why Matsueda Azusa suddenly mentioned wanting to make a deal with her at such a critical moment.

Could it be that he was taking this opportunity to coerce her into doing something? Although judging by Matsueda Azusa's reputation, he might do such a thing, it shouldn't be that serious...

"I can find a way to help you take over for the afternoon music performance. In exchange..."

Matsueda Azusa clenched her fist and shook it in front of Yukinoshita Yukino: "You, right now, immediately, go find your sister, turn on the video on your phone, aim it at her face—and then punch her hard in the face a few times."

"Didn't she say she couldn't perform because of the bruises on her face? That's completely understandable, but wouldn't it be embarrassing if others found out she didn't have any bruises? As her sister, of course you have to help her solve this problem. In that case, adding some real, tangible bruises to her face is also a very reasonable thing to do, right?"

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Matsueda Azusa in astonishment, pointing at herself blankly: "You want me to...beat my sister?!"

Songzhi Zi raised his eyebrows: "Why, wasn't I clear enough?"

"..."

Yukinoshita Yukino was silent and confused for a long time, "Then... why do you still need to record it?"

"Is not this nonsensical?"

Songzhi Zi spread his hands speechlessly: "Of course it's because I want to see it?"

"Of course, it would be more satisfying to see you actually punch her in the face, right?"

Chapter 199: Yukinoshita is so easy to fool.

"...But, no matter what..."

Yukinoshita Yukino seemed a little hesitant, "If I do this, then it's still..."

"It's because you're always like this that you're always outshined by that girl Yang No. Don't you want to catch up with her?"

Songzhi Zi bewitched her like a demon: "If you don't even have the courage to punch her, then of course you will always be chasing after her, like her shadow, living in the shadow behind her."

Yukinoshita Yukino's expression was clearly shaken: "...Is there a connection between the two?"

I have to say, although this guy is tough, he is really easy to fool...

"Of course it does. Competition has never been a sisterly thing. Yang Nai can use all means to deal with you, but you don't even dare to fight back. So what makes you think you can compare to her?"

Matsueda Azusa spread his hands and said seriously, "Besides, how do you know that you punching her isn't what she wants? You should remember what I said about Yang No in the infirmary before? It's very likely that she also hopes that you will use this method to resist her - otherwise why would she keep bringing up the excuse of bruises?"

Matsueda Azusa pushed up her nonexistent glasses and waved her fingers vigorously. "There's only one truth: she was basically hinting at you to do this to her! Yukinoshita-san, you don't want to disappoint your sister because of your cowardice, do you?"

"Eh?"

Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't help but purse her lips.

Although it always sounds like nonsense, but... to be fair, Matsueda Azusa does understand her sister a little better than she does. He speaks with a well-reasoned and confident manner, as if these words are completely true...

Moreover, her elder sister had always done similar things in the past, deliberately causing trouble for her, but her way of solving the problem never seemed to satisfy her elder sister... Could it be that, as Matsueda Azusa said, her elder sister had always wanted her to rebel?

Finally, Yukinoshita Yukino made up her mind and her eyes became firm.

She nodded to Songzhi Zi: "I understand. Let's do this. I agree to your terms. In exchange, you help me solve the problem of the performance."

Songzhi Zi snapped his fingers cheerfully and said with satisfaction: "That's right. Just report this matter to the student union, and I will handle it later. I'll wait for you to send me the video~"

Although it feels good to beat up Yukinoshita Haruno, it would be even more exciting if I could see Yukino beat her up!

Yukinoshita Yukino has always been very proactive. After making a decision, she set off immediately. While notifying the student union of the news, she rushed to find Yukinoshita Haruno without stopping.

Not far away, Kita Ikuyo glanced fearfully at Matsueda Azusa. Although the exact cause and effect were still unclear, it sounded like Matsueda Azusa was instigating a feud between the sisters, even instigating the younger sister to rush home and beat up her older sister, leading to violence?!
