Fortunately, his savior appeared soon.

"Speaking of which..."

Miura Yumiko hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm not entirely sure, but I've had a suspicion lately."

Songzhi Zi raised an eyebrow, "Oh? Please go ahead."

"It's Yui. She's been acting really strange lately."

Miura Yumiko frowned and described: "During the day, she always looked absent-minded. Several times when we spoke to her, she seemed to be in a trance and didn't respond. But when we asked her what happened, she hesitated and refused to tell us, pretending that nothing had happened."

"Also, after school, when it's almost time for club activities, she disappears without a trace. She's so elusive, I have no idea what she's been doing lately."

Miura Yumiko frowned and speculated: "No matter how you think about it, this behavior is really too strange! Considering the conclusion you made when discussing what happened to Kawasaki-san, Matsueda - although it turned out that you were completely wrong - I have to say that it does sound somewhat reasonable. So, I suspect... maybe Yui has been secretly dating a yellow-haired guy who I don't know at all!"

Why do you sound like you're the one suffering?

Hikigaya Hachiman couldn't help but complain in his heart. It was as if Miura Yumiko was being bullied!

Matsueda Azusa was even more surprised: "Miura, I didn't expect you to be the most loyal minister to the Ministry of Supervision! For the great cause of the Ministry of Supervision, you even decisively betrayed your own close friend. Someone like you who has completely lost his humanity is exactly the loyal minister I need! You are the pillar of the Ministry!"

No, wait, so that's the point? It actually makes sense.

The three people on the side couldn't help but look at Miura Yumiko with horror, as if they saw another rising Matsueda Azusa.

Is this a typo? Why does the Minister's head appear on Miura's?! Could it be that the pine edamame virus has become contagious?

I don’t want Miura to become the second Azusa Matsueda!

Chapter 113 Miura’s worries.

"No, that's not the point, is it?"

Miura Yumiko crossed her arms, her eyes stern. "The problem is, she actually hid this from us! No matter how I look at it, it's too much. Does she still consider me a friend? I don't doubt Yui's character, so there must be something fishy going on! The guy she's dating must be a scoundrel!"

Uh, it seems that Miura is not qualified to say such things? After all, isn't she a blonde herself? (Huh?)

"Hiss, uh...is there a possibility?"

Songzhi Zi touched his chin and said hesitantly: "I'm just stating a possibility. She didn't tell you about her relationship because... you are a member of our Supervisory Department?"

"..."

Miura Yumiko fell silent. "Is... is that the case? But I asked other people privately, and they also said they didn't know what the situation was."

"That means either Yuigahama-san didn't tell her other friends about this to protect you, or the others helped her keep it a secret from you."

Songzhi Zi spread his hands and said, "What a simple truth."

Yumiko Miura was struck by lightning, and felt that there was a tragically thick barrier between her and Yuigahama Yui.

Everyone else couldn't help but look at Miura Yumiko with pity. Once she joined the Inspection Department, she would no longer be an ordinary high school student, and she would no longer be able to have any connection with human friendship.

Looking at the dazed Miura Yumiko, Matsueda Azusa sighed and patted her shoulder, "Alas, things in the world are always like this. It's hard to be both loyal and righteous. Please accept my condolences."

"That's impossible. It doesn't make sense."

Miura Yumiko muttered to herself in self-doubt.

Seeing Kyoka's expression, Yana thought for a moment, but couldn't help but ask a crucial question: "So, Miura-san, why are you so sure that Yuigahama-san is in love? She's distracted, depressed, and in a trance. This kind of state can also occur in someone who's been dumped, or when the person they like finds someone else."

It is a personal experience.

This cannot be criticized, Lao Ba does have a say in this matter.

"But isn't that even more problematic?! If she was dumped, that means Yui was already dating someone else a long time ago, but I didn't know about it."

Miura Yumiko pointed out the problem again: "If the person she likes has a partner, we still don't know when Yui fell in love with her or who she fell in love with!"

Matsueda Azusa recoiled at this and commented sharply, "Miura, you're a complete control freak. If you were willing to sacrifice your own family for the sake of our Supervisory Department, that would be fine, but to know so much about your friend's emotional experiences and mental journey is truly terrifying."

Hikigaya Hachiman secretly grumbled: "No, the former is more terrifying, isn't it?! What kind of person would report their own romantic partner just to join the Inspection Department? That kind of person has lost all humanity."

But luckily he has no friends, so it doesn’t matter who he wants to report, haha.

"No, you're not familiar with Yui, so you won't understand."

Miura Yumiko frowned worriedly, sighed, and shook her head, saying, "Actually, when I was reflecting on my own past actions recently, I also noticed some problems with my other friends."

"Yui is actually... a little too honest and too insecure. She often has her own ideas, and there's nothing wrong with those ideas, but she always has to consider other people's expressions, go with the flow, and dare not express her own opinions. In fact, sometimes I think she is a little afraid of me. But then again, I'm really slow to realize this until now."

Miura Yumiko scratched her head in distress. "So, if the guy Yui is dating is a good person, then it's fine. But if he's a scumbag who just wants to play around... Yui will definitely suffer a great loss. She can't express her thoughts frankly, and it's easy to subconsciously cater to others. If that man makes excessive demands, wouldn't that be terrible?"

I never thought that Miura Yumiko would even have a day of self-reflection and deep thought. It's surprising that her smooth brain surface actually hides some imperceptible grooves.

However, no matter what, taking the time to care about friends is something worth encouraging. In this way, although Yumiko Miura is the "queen" in the girls' group, she actually has a bit of a mothering personality, which is just hidden under the surface bad temper and control.

Matsueda Azusa thought for a moment and then asked, "Since you're so worried, why don't you take the initiative to ask her what happened? Although this sounds strange coming from me, isn't a sincere exchange between friends much better than a secret investigation?"

"I asked!"

Miura Yumiko slammed the table in anger. "I even picked a time when no one was around and asked her privately if she was in a relationship recently, but she acted like she was scared and denied it in a panic. No matter how I think about it, there's something wrong! Yui must have been threatened by that jerk boyfriend not to tell anyone about this!"

Well, Miura has some brains, but not much. As a member of the department that monitors relationships between men and women, if you call someone over privately and ask if they're in a relationship, who would actually answer honestly?

But bringing this up with the Inspection Department was a bit desperate, to be honest. If Yuigahama Yui's boyfriend was a jerk, then it would be fine, and breaking up would be a good thing for her. But if he was a good person, wouldn't Miura Yumiko, who had led the Inspection Department there, immediately become a nobody?

Yumiko Miura used to think too little, but now she thinks too much, but at the same time she thinks too little.

"Alright. Since you insist on proposing this motion, then as the Minister, I will certainly encourage and support it. Does anyone else have any objections? If not, we will begin the investigation based on this motion."

Matsueda Azusa clapped his hands and asked the others.

Hikigaya Hachiman and Numizu Kazuhiko looked at each other and saw what the other was thinking, but after hesitating for a while, they still did not object or offer any other opinions.

Yana saw Kyoko look at Onmizu Kazuhiko beside her, then glance at the others present. After hesitating for a long time, she couldn't help but ask, "Miura-san, I understand that you're worried about your friend... but aren't you afraid that letting the chief handle this matter will mean you won't even be able to be friends anymore?"

What a sharp review.

Lao Ba said what Hikigaya and Onmizu thought but did not dare to say.

Only then did Yumiko Miura suddenly realize this.

Matsueda Azusa couldn't help but grumble upon hearing this: "What are you talking about? When you first came to our club to help us break up Kuda Kusuke and Himemiya Karen, why didn't you consider whether you could still be friends afterwards?"

"Eh? This...this...that..."

Seeing Xingcai being questioned like this, Yanai couldn't help but look away, avoiding the question guiltily: "Because Wenshui told me at the beginning that you are a good person, Buchou."

You were tricked into coming in, only to find out they were bad guys, right? Isn't that a bit slow-witted?

Yumiko Miura pondered and hesitated for a moment. Although she felt a little regretful for bringing up Yuigahama Yui without thinking it through, she then thought of what Azusa Matsueda said at the station when she helped Iseriri Jina to win back Momoka Kawahara.

In the end, she still said: "Although that's what she said, if Yui's boyfriend is a good person and the feelings between the two are sincere, wouldn't Matsueda not interfere with it maliciously? Thinking about it this way, in fact, there is not much problem based on the ending alone."

"If the other person is a scumbag, then being torn apart is definitely a good thing. At most, Yui will hate me because of Matsueda's tricks... Although saying this is a bit self-righteous, self-satisfied, and condescending, if I can help Yui get rid of the scumbag, it doesn't matter if she hates me. I really can't stand watching her being deceived."

Miura Yumiko sighed: "In the final analysis, it's because I'm not capable enough. I can't find a better way to solve this matter on my own. Even after talking to Yui, I couldn't figure out the truth. So I can only rely on the power of the great devil Matsueda to solve the problem. There is always a price to pay for making a deal with the devil. I know this very well..."

Chapter 114 An old cow eats young grass?!

"Why does this sound so weird?!"

Matsueda Azusa touched his chin and asked, "Has the nickname of the Great Devil really become my identity?"

"But don't be so pessimistic..."

Hikigaya Hachiman, noticing the somewhat heavy atmosphere after Miura Yumiko's words, managed a forced laugh. "The truth of the matter isn't necessarily that Yuigahama-san is looking for a partner. Assuming someone is interested in you, or mistakenly believing they're in a relationship, is a sign of excessive self-awareness. Let's investigate and see what the truth is before we speak."

As soon as he finished speaking, seeing Miura Yumiko's sweeping gaze, Hikigaya immediately backed off, shrank his neck and turned his head away, pretending nothing had happened. Damn it, I should have stopped talking so much.

Just then, a "beep" sound was heard.

Yumiko Miura subconsciously took out her cell phone, as if someone had sent her a text message.

After clicking on it, she immediately stood up and said, "My friend saw Yui at the school gate! She seemed to be chatting with someone else, and my friend didn't dare to get too close to take a closer look... But since that's what she said, the other person must be a stranger that no one knows! Let's go over and see what's going on!"

I didn't expect there would be progress so quickly. We met openly at the school gate without any precautions. Or were we blocked at the school gate like Matsueda Azusa had done before?

Several people nodded when they heard this. Since they had decided that the next club activity would be related to Yuigahama Yui, there would be no big problem in taking action now.

Yumiko Miura took the lead and rushed out quickly, looking as if she was afraid that someone would slip away if she was too late.

Everyone else followed closely behind.

They rushed all the way to the school gate. In order not to attract too much attention and alert the enemy, everyone slowed down and walked slowly to the school gate.

Yumiko Miura glanced at the students at the school gate breathlessly and soon caught sight of Yuigahama Yui.

Everyone hid in the dark and looked over there quietly.

I saw Yuigahama Yui happily chatting with a...handsome boy?

Songzhi Zi looked at it carefully for a moment.

The boy had short, smooth black hair and a gentle, lackluster face. He wore a white hooded sweatshirt and a magenta sports jacket. Around his neck hung a small, inexpensive-looking camera.

And most importantly... doesn't this child look a little too young?!

Although he looks like he is trying hard to act strong, his face looks completely childish. He should still be a junior high school student, right?

Matsueda Azusa's eyes widened in shock, and she couldn't help but look at Miura Yumiko: "...Yuigahama-san is really taking advantage of a young girl! The child is so young, and she's so bold as to do that?"

At this moment, Miura Yumiko was also deeply shocked. She stared at the scene in front of her in amazement. She rubbed her eyes hard in disbelief. After finally confirming that she was not hallucinating, she muttered to herself: "No wonder Yui refused to tell me what was going on. She would rather die than admit to being in a relationship... So it's because of this! This is not surprising. If it were me, I wouldn't dare to say it!"

She looked utterly dazed and distraught, and questioned herself in disbelief: "When did Yui become so carnivorous? Could she even be so cruel as to lay her hands on a middle school student? This wasn't my impression of her. Am I wrong again?"

Hikigaya Hachiman didn't see anything wrong with it. He and Yuigahama Yui had no connection to begin with, and Yuigahama Yui always dressed frivolously and flamboyantly. Judging by her appearance, wouldn't it be normal for her to do something like this? Plots involving hot girls and shota aren't uncommon. Why was Miura Yumiko so surprised? Could it be a friend filter?

Matsueda Azusa swallowed her saliva and turned to look at Miura Yumiko: "You guys actually do this kind of thing? It seems that I didn't scold you harshly enough before. Your bottom line is even lower than I thought..."

At this moment, Yana saw Xingcai say weakly: "Um...I wonder if it is possible that things are not like this?"

"Eh?"

Yumiko Miura subconsciously turned her head to look at her.

Songzhi Zi also asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"

Yanajian Kyoko explained, drawing on her own years of experience with secret crushes: "Exactly, don't you think the look in their eyes doesn't reveal any sign of 'liking'? They do seem to be having a good time chatting, but there's no flirtatious atmosphere."

I don't know where this loser Yanami Kyokai gets the confidence to make such a statement so confidently.

Even Onmizu Kazuhiko couldn't help but subconsciously complain: "Can this kind of emotion be seen in your eyes? Or can Yana actually see it when she sees you? If she can see it, why can't you realize and accept the fact that Kuda-san doesn't like you?"

Yana saw that Xingcai's defense was instantly broken, and she covered her heart with her hands, vomited souls, and was on the verge of collapse.

It can only be said that those involved are often confused, while those who are on the sidelines can see things more clearly. Some people are good at analyzing other people's situations, and can be called invincible military strategists, but when it comes to their own situation, they become clueless.

She whispered with tears in her eyes: "That's because I like him!"

Miura Yumiko rubbed her temples dizzily. "No, let me take it easy. Let me convince myself to accept this reality. No, is this really reality? Is it an illusion? It really is an illusion!"

Matsueda Azusa looked at Miura Yumiko with sorrow: "You didn't eat the poisonous mushrooms. Don't deliberately deceive yourself and confuse reality with illusion! We are here to solve problems, not to be solved by them!"

Miura Yumiko collapsed and said: "But I originally thought that Yui would be the one who would be hurt, but now I didn't expect that Yui might be the one who would hurt others!"

Perhaps it was because Yumiko Miura couldn't control her voice and spoke a little louder, Yuigahama Yui who was not far away also heard her voice.

However, Yuigahama Yui didn't seem to hear clearly what Miura Yumiko was saying. After seeing Miura, she waved at her vigorously and smiled widely: "Eh? Yumiko, why are you here too? Are you guys participating in club activities?"

No one expected that Yuigahama Yui would greet them so openly, and she didn't seem worried at all.

Miura Yumiko was startled when Yuigahama Yui suddenly greeted her. She swallowed, nodded, and answered carefully: "Uh, well, I guess so... Yui, where are you? And who is this classmate?"

When Yuigahama Yui heard Miura Yumiko's question, she had no doubts or hidden thoughts at all, and immediately explained: "Ah! Yumiko, let me introduce you, this is a friend I met outside of school! Nishimiya Yuzuru, he's a very good person!"

Nishimiya Yuzuru nodded to the others as a greeting. Yuigahama Yui's sudden praise seemed to make him a little embarrassed, and he subconsciously turned his head away.

Yumiko Miura looked back and forth between the two of them suspiciously.

Yana saw Kyoko whispering, "Look, I'm telling you. If they were a couple trying to hide their relationship, how could they act so openly and naturally?"

Matsueda Azusa touched his chin and thought to himself: Nishimiya Yuzuru... Nishimiya? Is this surname such a coincidence?

Miura Yumiko couldn't help but ask, "Hey, um...how did you two meet?"

Although she said so, she still felt a little worried. It would be better to ask clearly.

Yuigahama Yui explained without hesitation: "Because Yuzuru saved Sabre! On the weekend, I took Sabre out for a walk, but I don't know what happened. Maybe it was frightened, it suddenly broke free from the leash and ran away. It disappeared in an instant, and I couldn't find it at all for a while."
