I really don't want to have a girlfriend.

With her arms crossed, Yuki looked down at him with an air of superiority: "I mind that talented but immoral people are not within my sphere of admiration."

As if she had thought of something amusing, Yuu Tenkuji couldn't help but laugh.

He suddenly asked, "Hey, did I enjoy my performance just now?"

"..."

Realizing Tenkuji Yu's intentions instantly, the black-haired girl promptly shut her mouth.

Instead of backing down and finding a better future, his gaze remained mocking as he looked her up and down, her figure as delicate and exquisite as a porcelain doll, his smile feigning innocence.

"Well, what do you say? You disdain to lie, Minister. I've worked hard for the club all this time, so give me a sincere and accurate evaluation now."

"..."

She bit her cherry lips with her pearly teeth, her small fists clenched at her sides, her taut face as if suppressing anger, her eyes glaring fiercely at him.

However, after a long silence, she finally spoke honestly:

"...Objectively speaking, it sounds very good."

Psychologically speaking, the moment she said those words, it meant that she had bowed down and admitted defeat to him.

Like a defeated female knight, Yukino Yukinoshita lowered her head slightly, her body trembling slightly, and a blush of shame touched the white roots of her black ears.

"What a humiliation..."

"What's there to be ashamed of? It's just that you have too much pride and are afraid to face reality."

Yuu Tenkuji casually waved his hand, ignoring Yuki's inexplicable stunned reaction, and turned to Yuihama, who had already taken it for granted and was sitting obediently waiting for them to "finish arguing".

"How's the situation in the auditorium? Could it be that a bunch of people are really shouting to get rid of me?"

“That’s how it was originally…” As if she had thought of something, Yui Yuigahama looked at him with a subtle expression, her hand unconsciously rubbing her small ear.

"However, after you said your last sentence, there were fewer people like that, and your momentum wasn't as strong as it was at the beginning... It seems that quite a few people are still looking forward to you challenging them, the genuine kind."

Yuu Tenkuji blinked: "Really? Are all students these days mentally challenged?"

"What?! It was clearly you, Xiaoyou—"

Before Yuihama could finish speaking, the classroom door, which had been closed by Yukinoshita, was suddenly pushed open again with a bang.

"Excellent! You truly deserve to be my student! Your words on stage really got my blood pumping!"

"Teacher, how many times have I told you to knock before coming in..."

Under Yukino's disapproving gaze, the delinquent teacher in a white coat walked in, one hand on his hip, laughing heartily.

"Don't worry about such trivial matters! To be honest, the club performances in previous years were all the same, and I was getting tired of them. Fortunately, you guys stirred things up this year and made things more interesting! Not bad, not bad~"

Yukinoshita: "The one who caused all this chaos is clearly you, teacher..."

Yuihama: "And I feel like I didn't do anything..."

Sky Temple: "Who said, 'I'll leave everything to you to handle'? And they even have the nerve to say, 'As expected of the people I trained...'"

Hiratsuka Shizuka waved her hand dramatically, as if reciting a famous line, and shouted:

"I am your teacher, that's enough for you to know!"

"...Sigh, never mind."

The three members of the Service Department were too lazy to complain anymore. They sat in their usual seats and sighed in perfect unison.

Hiratsuka-sensei has always been indifferent to this—the power of habit is truly terrifying.

Facing the three people's helpless gazes, she took an iron chair from the wall and sat down casually at the front of the stage.

Then, her long, slender legs, clad in black suit trousers, crossed over, and her wide-toed women's leather shoes wobbled.

"Next up is the challenge event, right? Don't panic, I'm just here for a pre-battle pep talk—"

I wonder if this is retribution for not letting Yui finish speaking earlier.

Hiratsuka Shizuka was only halfway through her sentence when another voice came from outside the door, interrupting her.

"Ahaha, so that's where it is~"

Accompanied by cheerful laughter, a mature and beautiful young woman who looked like a college student peeked out from behind the door, waving her hand with a smile.

"Hey everyone, hello~"

With an undeniable and powerful presence, she stepped into the Service Department classroom and naturally became the center of attention.

"Hello, you two over there—I'm Yukinoshita Haruno, Yukino's older sister~"

She chuckled.

"Oh dear, I feel a little embarrassed to introduce myself in front of my sister and Teacher Xiaojing."

As she said this, Yukinoshita Haruno showed no sign of shame whatsoever.

She gracefully tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and stood still in front of the long table.

The gaze slowly shifted from Yukino Yukinoshita and Yui Yuigahama to Yuu Soraji, who was looking down at his phone again.

The young woman narrowed her eyes, seemingly smiling even more happily, yet also with a hint of deeper meaning.

"Although it's a bit sudden, I'd really appreciate your guidance, everyone in the Service Club!"

Chapter 101 Yang Nai's Test (Part 1)

What were their feelings when they followed them to the Service Department?

It's unusual that Yukinoshita Haruno, who is always calm and intelligent, is unable to figure out these feelings.

It wasn't for her sister, nor for the handsome younger pianist on stage... She couldn't find any reason that she could justify.

If you really want to say something, it was just that after listening to that piano performance, she had a strange premonition urging her to take action, right?

If I don't keep chasing after it, I might miss the answer I've been searching for—that's just a strange feeling I have.

but.

Whether it's just intuition or pure interest, it's all the same.

No reason needed, she does whatever she wants... That's her, Yukinoshita Haruno.

So he barged into the warehouse-like clubroom, where he was met with the gazes of three high school students and a teacher.

With one hand resting on her slender waist, her expression was firm and confident, as if nothing could faze her—Yukinoshita Haruno smiled, raising an eyebrow as she awaited the others' responses.

△

"Xiaoxue's older sister?! Ah, I'm Xiaoxue's friend, Yuigahama Yui, nice to meet you..."

In a fluster, the girl with the pink bun quickly bowed, her gaze shifting back and forth between the two sisters, seemingly comparing their similarities.

Yang Nai made this judgment based on her preconceived notions: "She's a pretty innocent child."

On the other side, sitting stiffly by the window, with an expression of surprise and headache, the younger sister Yukino twitched her cheek and asked, "Why is it that you, sister..."

Yang Nai waved her hand, because she already knew what she was going to say, so she had prepared a perfect excuse in advance.

"Zongwu High School is my alma mater, after all. Isn't it normal for me to come and visit when there are events?"

She found a chair, sat down opposite the three of them, and pouted her little lips in a complaining manner: "Yukino, you really are something. You organized such a fun activity at school and didn't tell me anything. That's too cunning!"

"It has nothing to do with you, right? Why would I need to tell you?"

Yukino lowered her head and pressed her temples, expressing strong resistance in a voice colder and more piercing than usual.

"If you're just here to say hello, you can leave now."

As if it were nothing new, she melted away the cold wind with a bright smile: "Eh~ Why are you in such a hurry to get rid of me? You were so kind as to let me stay in your apartment for so long on Friday~"

"I did tell you to go back, but you wouldn't listen!" Yukino glared at her menacingly, like a kitten threatening an intruder who had trespassed into its territory.

Their claws and teeth don't hurt when they bite, which is why they look so cute.

With an even greater smile, Yang Nai rested her elbows on her thighs, propping up her fair and beautiful cheeks, and observed her sister's expression with great interest.

"Oh, could it be that you're afraid I'll talk badly about you to your 'friends'?"

Thinking she had found the answer, she defended herself with an exaggerated expression and a pitiful tone: "Ugh! I'm not that kind of mean person, I won't tell anyone about Yukino's secret~"

For some reason, the person sitting on the far left of the long table had a slight twitch at the corner of their mouth, looking at their phone as if they wanted to laugh—

Did I say something that made him laugh, or did he see something interesting?

A question flashed through her mind, but she didn't rush to ask it; Yukinoshita Haruno continued to observe.

Without making a sound of disgust, Yukino brushed her long hair aside and clicked her tongue forcefully: "That's why I want you to leave as soon as possible, because I don't want others to see you like this."

"That's really going too far. Look, no one else seems to have any complaints." Yang Nai suddenly shifted her gaze and asked with a smile, "Right, Yui?"

"Huh? Yes!" Like a student who had been woken up by the teacher while dozing off, Yui Yuigahama subconsciously straightened her chest and answered somewhat blankly, "Wh-While I don't really care, it's mainly about Yuki..."

Is this a neutral stance? But it seems they care quite a bit about Yukino's feelings...

Haruno nodded to herself, but on the surface, she widened her eyes in surprise and exclaimed, "Oh~ she's a good friend who respects Yukino's opinions."

Yui Yuigahama immediately scratched her cheek, giggling shyly, "Hehehe, it's not actually that amazing~"

"Don't believe that person's praise, Yuihama-san." Yukino sighed deeply, seemingly speechless. "Besides, friends and such, it's not that kind of relationship, is it?"

"Huh?! Isn't that right?"

Yui Yuigahama was devastated and looked at her in disbelief: "I thought Yuki and I had become friends a long time ago..."

"Ah..." Seeing her teary-eyed appearance, Yukino seemed speechless and fell silent, at a loss for what to do.

After a long pause, she clenched her fist and placed it under her chin, coughing twice to cover her embarrassment: "Yuigahama-san, I think we should start by discussing the definition of friendship..."

"This is too much trouble! Making friends isn't like doing homework!"

"Pfft, hahaha!" Enjoying the two's peculiar interaction, Yang Nai couldn't help but slap her thigh and burst into laughter. "Oh my, Yui is really interesting~ She's completely different from the people Yukino has met before. It seems like she could really become good friends!"

"I...I'm not as good as Haruno-san says..." Yui Yuigahama suddenly paused, tilting her head and muttering, "Eh? Really? So just now..."

"Consider the occasion, Haruno. We're in a meeting here."

Teacher Xiaojing took out a lollipop and chewed it in her mouth with a crunching sound, but unfortunately, a sidelong glance interrupted her laughter.

"Although I knew you would come, I didn't expect you to actually follow me all the way to the Service Club... No one should have told you where the club is."
