I really don't want to have a girlfriend.

"You put on such a high-sounding facade, but your last sentence completely exposed you." Yukino Yukinoshita pressed her temples as if she had a headache, and casually asked, "Just to confirm, if they really started fighting, and Tenkuji-kun couldn't beat that bald guy in sunglasses, would you still continue watching the show?"

"Hmph, of course not~"

Yukinoshita Haruno said with a smile.

But for some reason, at that moment, Yukino Yukinoshita felt a chill run down her spine.

It was as if a demon had crawled out of the abyss, grinning with crimson lips beside him, exhaling a chilling breath.

"I don't know why, but just thinking about that scene makes me inexplicably angry, so angry that I want to shove him into a concrete pillar... Is it because he and Yukino are close?"

His voice, devoid of any inflection, seemed to be questioning himself.

Yukino watched Tenkuji Yu's retreating figure with a pleasant smile on her face, but her eyes were filled with a chilling calm.

"...The relationship is not good."

Yukino Yukinoshita only dared to refute this one sentence, and then obediently shut her mouth, like a kitten quietly curling up beside a tiger, trying not to make any noise.

My older sister is several times more terrifying than my mother is when she gets serious...

The gradient sky seemed to stand still; whether the sun was setting or the evening breeze was blowing, everything slowed down at this moment, and the air felt heavy and stagnant.

Mana Natsukawa rubbed her sore bottom and glared angrily at Yuu Tenkuji.

Xia Chuanzhen was no longer as calm as before, and was shielded behind him with a look of unease on her face.

The bald, burly man slowly opened his fist and reached out to grab Tenkuji Yu's shoulder.

At this moment, Tenkuji Yu...

He could sense that someone was staring intently at his anus with an intensely burning gaze from the entrance of the upscale apartment behind him.

—Which pervert is so bad at judging the timing?!

Yuu Tenkuji cursed inwardly, but couldn't afford to be distracted and turn away.

In front of me is a bald guy, and behind me is a chrysanthemum monster—what kind of hell is this, that I have to face two men at once?

Damn system, it's all your fault!

system:"?"

"Ha, scared too much to move, huh? Angang was hired by Dad at a high price..."

The blonde girl's low, villainous-sounding introduction drew Yu's slightly distracted attention back to her.

He looked at the rough, large hand that was about to touch his shoulder, and after thinking for a moment, he didn't take out his handkerchief but simply grabbed it.

"I don't want to fight in front of my girlfriend. If you want to teach me a lesson, let's have a strength contest."

"That's enough for now. Whoever admits defeat first has to apologize, okay, sir?"

"..."

Behind his sunglasses, the bald, muscular man stared at him silently.

Tenkuji Yu smiled innocently and waited quietly for his answer.

The other person didn't speak or struggle, but their thick palm began to slowly increase the pressure.

"Very well, then..."

How much force would it take to make someone give up without crushing their hand bones?

With that thought in mind, Yuu Tenkuji increased the force of his single hand without any warm-up or preparation.

Let's start with 200% to test the waters.

The veins on his arm suddenly bulged.

The faint sound of muscle fibers taut and on the verge of breaking could be heard, followed by a tremendous force that traveled from the arm to the palm, like an electric current surging and bones cracking, before all of it was concentrated into the clenched hand.

The bald, burly man's expression changed. His hand, which was much larger than his own, was squeezed so tightly that he couldn't help but loosen his grip. His fingertips trembled incessantly, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.

He tried to retaliate, his temples bulging with veins, his face flushed, his arms taut like knotted rocks, and his fingers gripping the other's hand tightly, as if he were using all his strength.

Even though he gritted his teeth, he could only suppress the gasps in his chest, unable to resist the increasingly tight grip of the iron clamp.

Tenkuji Yu glanced at him in surprise, then laughed even more heartily.

—As men, we all like to encounter an equally matched opponent in terms of strength, and then defeat them.

"—300%"

A light, airy voice fell.

Click.

An ominous sound came from someone's bones.

The next moment, the tall, muscular bald man in sunglasses was the first to involuntarily bend down.

With a slight twist of his wrist, Tenkuji Yu forced him to kneel down, his serious face twitching as if he was suppressing the urge to growl out.

It wasn't broken or shattered, but it hurt a lot. Some time ago, Yuu Tenkuji finally learned a technique from Sugo that caused excruciating pain, which, combined with muscle manipulation, proved quite effective.

"Great, I won."

Ignoring the opponent's desperate resistance, he declared victory on his own.

Tenkuji Yuu loosened his hand, letting it hang by his side as the "rapid recovery" healed the ruptured muscle ligaments, and looked at Natsukawa Mana with a smile.

"Little sister, are you going to use other methods to teach me a lesson?"

"If you want, then it'll be my turn to teach you a lesson, okay?"

"..."

Mana Natsukawa stared blankly at Yasuo, who was kneeling on one knee with his hand covering his palm, and then met his gaze in the twilight, where his eyes seemed to gleam with a cold, evil, bloodthirsty, and filthy light.

His mouth opened and closed with a trembling sound, but before he could say anything, he plopped back down on the ground.

Then her eyes reddened, and like a child, she sniffled and cried out with teary eyes:

"Liang—Sister! Your boyfriend is bullying me, are you just going to stand by and watch?!"

"Idiots, idiots! My sister and brother-in-law are idiots, you're all idiots—!!"

Chapter 31 Yukinoshita's Experiment (Part 2)

"Really..."

Seeing her younger sister crying and making a fuss on the ground, Natsukawa Masuzu showed a conflicted expression, indicating that she was somewhat troubled and didn't really want to deal with her.

Undeterred, Tenkuji Yu walked towards Natsukawa Mana, smiled and glanced at the bald man in sunglasses who tried to stop him, causing the man to instinctively freeze in place, before squatting down in front of the blonde girl.

"You say I bullied you, but if I were powerless and this Angang beat me to the ground, would you say to me, 'I'm sorry, I shouldn't have bullied you'?"

Mana Natsukawa gritted her teeth, her bloodshot eyes glaring at him with fear and anger, but she couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.

Naturally, if Angang succeeds in teaching him a lesson, she will not only not apologize, but will also loudly mock and belittle his powerlessness.

"At your age, just use your advantages to be cute. Don't always try to compete with adults or use underhanded tricks to deal with people... Sigh, since you call me brother-in-law, I'll give you some advice."

Tenkuji Yu patted her head, adopting the gentle, admonishing tone of an older brother, and said softly:

"Your IQ is even lower than your sister's. She can't even handle me. You should just go home and be a good little brat."

"I've kindly forgiven you this time, but what if one day you run into a perverted criminal that Angang can't handle and who's ruthless towards girls...? You, who's mature enough to forcibly kiss a strange man, should know what will happen to you, right?"

"..."

Her pupils suddenly contracted, and Natsukawa Mana seemed to be conjuring up some terrifying scenes, causing her petite body to tremble slightly.

Tenkuji Yu lifted her chin: "Will you reply?"

His tone was almost bewitching, and his eyes were fixed on those uneasy blue eyes, gradually instilling pressure.

The girl was forced to look him in the eye, as if her breath was being cut off, her whole body stiff and unable to move.

After less than three seconds, she bit her lip, lowered her gaze, and her domineering tone finally softened.

"...I understand, I won't do it again."

"Very good, I like well-behaved children."

Tenkuji Yu smiled, no longer releasing any pressure, and gently and affectionately tugged at her cheek, pulling her up from the ground.

"Although our first meeting was a bit awkward, let's get to know each other properly—I'm your sister's boyfriend, Yuu Tenkuji. Nice to meet you, Mana."

Mana Natsukawa didn't want to answer, but under his kind gaze, she nodded her little head and mumbled reluctantly.

"...Please give me your guidance."

Then, without even glancing at Yuu Tenkuji in front of him, he turned to the bald man in sunglasses and shouted, "Yasuoka, if you can still drive, get in the car and get ready to leave. If you can't drive, call someone over."

Angang nodded, crossed his arms, and walked toward the black luxury car parked by the roadside.

“And, Ryo…” Natsukawa Mana looked at Natsukawa Ryo, one hand on her hip, her previously almost defeated aura returning to its arrogant state.

"That person told me to warn you to behave yourself. You can have a boyfriend or whatever you want, but if you do anything strange that affects the reputation of the Xia Chuan family, he will take you back to Sweden."

"If you don't want to make him angry, it's better to just listen to him obediently, okay?"

Natsukawa Masaki looked at her coldly: "Are you done talking? If you are, go back and don't bother me again."

"Tsk, what a heartless guy..." Natsukawa Mana clicked his tongue, muttered a few words of dissatisfaction, and then turned to leave.

Tenkuji Yu smiled and said, "Say goodbye? It's very impolite to leave without saying goodbye."

Mana Natsukawa froze as she took a step.

"...I'll take my leave now, sister and brother-in-law (in Japanese, brother-in-law is pronounced the same)."

She turned around, gave a hasty bow, and then hurried toward the black sedan as if fleeing.

Natsukawa Masashi stood beside Tenkuji Yu, his face grim as he tugged at his sleeve and began to plot in hushed tones.

"How about we finish them off here? That way, we can prevent Mana from saying anything inappropriate to that person in order to get revenge on you..."

A voice immediately came from afar: "I wouldn't! Didn't I say I was only thinking of Liang?"

"Tsk, did they hear us?" Natsukawa Masuzu frowned, sensing something was wrong. "It's too late to launch a sneak attack like this..."
