I really don't want to have a girlfriend.

Although I didn't understand why they asked that question, I still answered frankly and without hesitation:

"You won't find another girl in the whole world as upright, beautiful, excellent, cute, smart, gentle, and knowledgeable as me... That's about it."

With a snap of his camera, Tenkuji Yu took a picture of her as she spoke.

—Get your embarrassing past!

If we still keep in touch ten years from now, I can use this photo to humiliate her.

"You're the most narcissistic person in the world. You should have said that last part."

After taking the photo, Yuu Tenkuji added this sentence.

Her expression instantly darkened, and Yukino Yukinoshita glared at him with an unfriendly look: "What are you filming?"

Yuu Tenkuji ignored it and instead showed the photo he had taken to Yui Yuigahama.

"That's what you call narcissism, you know? I'll delete my photos, I can't compete with her at all."

"No, no! It was so hard to get this picture!"

Snapping out of her daze, Yui Yuigahama quickly tiptoed and lunged forward to try and snatch the camera back.

Just before she charged at someone with the ball, Yuu Tenkuji took a step back and then, with perfect muscle control, held the camera and captured the slightly flustered look of the dango girl.

"Okay, then each of us gets one. No one is allowed to delete theirs, is that even?"

Shrugging, Yuu Tenkuji returned the camera to her.

Yui Yuigahama took the camera blankly, looked at the photos on the camera, and then looked up at him.

Finally, she lowered her head and closed her eyes slightly.

Holding the camera to her burning chest, she chuckled and said, "Yes, this is a memory of the three of us from the Service Club!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a cold wind from the Ice Age blew in through the window, instantly cooling down the rising air.

"Could you two, who disregard my position as minister, please explain yourselves properly—what exactly is this so-called memory?"

After the unique daily scene in the Service Club, where "men and women are locked in a fierce confrontation, while another woman gives up trying to mediate and can only offer a wry smile," came to an end.

After tidying themselves up a bit, the three locked the door to the Service Department and headed to the auditorium for the club's final evaluation.

"The criteria for judging are being wonderful, interesting, and in line with the club's theme..." As she walked, a clear, cold voice, like winter snow, drowned out the autumn chill in the corridor. "Tenkuji-kun, do you think 'piano performance' can represent our Service Club?"

The question, half mocking and half questioning, made Yuu Tenkuji glance at her sideways.

"Then what can our Service Department perform? Wear maid outfits and go on stage to serve the judges?"

Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at his figure from head to toe, her fair hand lightly touching her cherry lips, her two shallow crescent moons revealing a happy smile.

"Hmm, this looks good too."

"That's right, your brain must be broken." Tenkuji Yu concluded.

Ignoring him, Yukino Yukinoshita sighed to herself, "It's a pity that the scheduled performance can't be changed at the last minute. Otherwise, even if we had to go buy clothes now, we would still have to let you go on stage to show the spirit of our Service Club."

Tenkuuji Yu smiled, his cheeks twitching: "If this is the spirit of our Service Club, then, Club Leader, could you please be the first to put it into practice?"

Hurry up, let's get Yukino Yukinoshita in a maid outfit!

"Practice what you preach?"

Miss Yuki-onna remained unfazed, brushing aside the black hair that fell onto her slender shoulders, and a mocking smile curved her soft lips.

Let's stop joking around here.

That awful woman!

Ignoring the fierce glares that seemed to want to devour her, she continued speaking calmly: "The spirit of our Service Department is embodied in 'growth' and 'transformation,' encompassing all aspects of life experience... So whether it's 'piano performance' or dancing, as long as the performers are us, it aligns with the core principles of the Service Department."

Yukino Yukinoshita shook her head, somewhat helplessly.

"Although I don't like this kind of sophistry, if I don't say it this way, even I don't know how to participate in the club competition."

"Let me offer you a compliment, Tenkuji-kun." She gracefully and aloofly concluded the conversation.

"Yuigahama, what is our performance order?"

Yuu Tenkuji decisively ignored her, wanting this Yuki-onna to experience the awkwardness of performing a one-woman show—even though she remained carefree, completely living in her own world.

"Uh, let me see..." Yui Yuigahama, who was in charge of the preliminary work with Yukinoshita, took out her phone, flipped through the notes, and her rosy lips curled into a small dot as if she was thinking.

"It's after the drama club's performance, around 9:30... Um, we're the third to perform!"

“That’s still quite early,” Tenkuji Yu said.

The "Autumn Club Showcase" has two important themed competitions: one is the "Club Popularity Ranking" voted on the forum, and the other is the "Overall Club Evaluation" determined by the school. The former will be settled and awards will be presented at 4 pm, and the latter will be announced directly in the auditorium after all the performances have ended at 10:30 am.

Once the final evaluation is over, it will be time for him to set off to challenge other clubs and prepare to cause a ruckus.

Thinking of this, for some reason, Yuu Tenkuji began to feel hot all over, and a look of eager anticipation appeared on his face—

Before he obtained the system, he was a well-behaved boy who kept a low profile and never sought the limelight.

No, it should be said that... the former Tenkuji Yu simply didn't have the opportunity or the ability to be high-profile, so naturally he had no chance to stand out.

Now that I have the system cheat, my mindset has naturally changed a bit.

The desire to stand on stage and captivate everyone with his performance naturally took hold of his still-young heart.

"But I really didn't expect that you, Xiaoyou, could play the piano."

Yui Yuigahama pulled him back from his wandering thoughts: "Not only the piano, I know a lot of other things too."

Yukino Yukinoshita crossed her arms (because she had no breasts) and raised her delicate eyebrows as she looked at him.

"For example? What level are they?"

"I probably know everything you do, and I'm better at it than you."

"...You're definitely better than me at boasting."

"How about we have a competition? The loser has to obey one command from the other. That's the classic way to play."

"While I am confident in my abilities, I am equally confident in your malicious and filthy intentions, so I refuse."

"Heh, scared now?"

"Oh."

Caught between the two, Yui Yuigahama, enjoying the sensation of ice and fire, rolled her eyes helplessly and sighed.

"You two really can argue about anything."

General Military Academy Auditorium.

First, they went backstage to confirm the performance schedule with the staff and tuned the piano in advance—only Yuu Tenkuji from all the clubs would use this piano—then the three of them prepared to return to the student group that was gradually gathering in the auditorium.

Students from all three grades filled two-thirds of the auditorium's floor space; as far as the eye could see, there were countless heads, like rainbow candies with all sorts of hair colors.

Yui Yuigahama, hiding behind the curtain, peeked out and couldn't help but gasp:

"I'm going to perform on a stage like this? It's making me nervous..."

Tenkuji Yu flicked her dumpling: "You're just spectators in the audience, what's there to be nervous about?"

"I'm nervous for you! After all, everyone's watching, and the pressure is terrifying just thinking about it..."

Yui Yuigahama didn't protect her hairstyle this time. She clenched her small hands into fists in front of her chest and stared at him with watery eyes, looking like she really couldn't relax.

Tenkuji Yu was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's just being surrounded by crowds at the station. I've always been indifferent to that."

"Really... And why were you surrounded by people at the station?"

Yukino Yukinoshita, as if unable to bear watching any longer, pressed her finger to her brow and sighed softly: "Yuihama-kun, instead of worrying unnecessarily, you should think about what you can do for him..."

"Now that we've done what we needed to do, saying anything more might only affect his mindset. Let's calm down a bit."

For once, Tenkuji Yu agreed with her: "That's right, that's exactly it."

Yui Yuigahama looked back and forth between the two who were comforting her, and finally showed a faint smile, nodding her small head vigorously.

On his way back to his class, Yuu Tenkuji heard someone calling his name.

"Ah, senior! Are you going to perform on stage too?"

He turned his head, raising an eyebrow slightly: "That's right. What's wrong, Isshiki?"

The girl with short, flaxen hair, who looked delicate and cute, curiously looked at the two beautiful girls beside him before quickly fixing her gaze on him.

"It's nothing, I just saw you came out from backstage and that's why I asked... Senior, what department are you in?"

Yuu Tenkuji didn't answer her, but waved his hand and continued walking forward: "You'll find out soon enough, hurry back to class."

"Tch, so stingy!"

Isshiki Iroha pouted at him, but didn't take it to heart. After bowing to the other two as a greeting, she turned and left with light steps.

Not long after, Yui Yuigahama, with her hands behind her back, asked casually, "Yu, who is she?"

"A first-year junior, a junior who works part-time."

Tenkuji Yu gave a brief reply, and the girl with the bun hairstyle looked away, her expression secretly relaxing.

Yukino Yukinoshita, however, was not interested in this. With her long hair flowing, she walked straight toward Class J.

Yuu Tenkuji and Yui Yuigahama returned to Class 2-F. Yuu winked at Totsuka Saika, who was some distance away, exchanging silent greetings. Yui, however, was asked a few questions by the Golden Double Helix Drill and blushed as she quickly waved her hands to explain.

About five minutes later.

The emcee stepped onto the stage and announced loudly—the Chiba Municipal Soubu High School's Autumn Club Showcase has officially begun!

Not long after the drama club's performance began, in the dimly lit auditorium where only the stage lights shone, Tenkuji Yuu and Hirazuka Shizuka said that they were about to leave their class and go backstage to prepare for their performance.
