I really don't want to have a girlfriend.

She struck the same pose as if waiting to be fed, her face full of anticipation.

Yukino Yukinoshita was a little dumbfounded. After a moment of stunned silence, she reflexively looked towards Yuu Tenkuji to seek his opinion.

Yui Yuigahama, however, keenly caught her gaze and moved her head accordingly: "Ah—Yuki, hurry up! It's tiring to keep your mouth open, and you might accidentally drool!"

Despite being urged so urgently and filled with doubt, Yukino Yukinoshita still stuffed one of the tamagoyaki pieces into her mouth.

Yui Yuigahama closed her mouth with satisfaction, then turned to face Yuu Tenkuji, cupping her cheeks in her hands as she chewed happily.

"Wow, this is amazing! Although it doesn't taste as good as Yu's, it's only slightly off. Plus, the high school girl's homemade cooking gives it a wonderfully domestic feel... I've decided, Yuki's is the clear winner! It's such a shame that people can't have it!"

Yuu Tenkuji: "...?"

Yukinoshita Yukino: "..."

Yui Yuigahama's head wasn't big enough to completely block their view, so the two of them could see each other's strange expressions as they tilted their bodies, both looking on with a subtle unease about what to say.

—Yui, could it be that she wants them to be jealous of each other?

Is it because you're sour that you want to drag the other two down with you?

Well... this amazing thought process hasn't changed at all.

"Alright, stop staring at me! Let's eat!"

After being happily fed by the two, Yui Yuigahama clapped her hands and urged the silent couple with a big smile.

She opened her lunchbox, picked up her chopsticks, gave the two of them a confirming look, and then let her voice carry throughout the entire clubroom:

"One, two—"

"Let's eat!"

……

There are about twenty minutes left in the lunch break.

The rain was still falling outside the window, with only a faint, indistinct pattering sound.

The three members of the Service Department, who were chatting and eating at the same time, successfully emptied their lunchboxes and began to rearrange their positions after finishing.

Just like the last quiz competition, Yuuki Tenkuji and Yukino Yukinoshita sat behind the long table, while Yui Yuigahama moved her chair to the whiteboard, adopted the demeanor of a meeting moderator, cleared her throat with a serious expression, and broke the silence that had lasted for a while in a deep voice:

"Now, the 'Service Department Emotional Exchange Meeting' will officially begin."

Chapter 89 You like Xiaoyou, right?

This is perhaps the first time in the Service Club that Yui Yuigahama has dictated the flow of the atmosphere.

In the past, whether it was discussing solutions to commissioned projects or deciding on various projects for the fall performance, she always just echoed their opinions and offered a few suggestions at most.

Never before have I held onto the center position so firmly, sitting confidently at the very front, swinging my legs, looking completely at ease with an air of having them all figured out.

Conversely, this was probably the first time Yukino Yukinoshita had sat so obediently next to Yuu Tenkuji, her expression calm and serene, yet her eyes held the solemnity of an impending great battle.

This conversation will determine the future of their service department, and that's no exaggeration—the relationship between the three of them will also be redefined from this point on.

Yuu Tenkuji wasn't that nervous; he even had the leisure to appreciate the deserted rain scene outside the window.

After all, what needed to be done and what needed to be decided have already been done. Now it's just a matter of laying everything out on the table—similar to a briefing?

It's conceivable that the outcome shouldn't be bad for me.

"First, let's talk about the first topic!"

Yui Yuigahama glanced at the whiteboard, seemingly wanting to write something on it, but then gave up on getting up because it was too much trouble.

"What is the relationship between Xiaoyou and Xiaoxue now?"

Subconsciously, Yuuki Tenkuji and Yukino Yukinoshita exchanged a glance.

The girl, as pure and elegant as a snow lotus, had a blush of cherry blossom color on her cheeks. She slightly parted her lips to inhale, and her fingers pinched the hem of her skirt, as if she were cheering herself up.

She, who is always outspoken, can never answer this question with her head held high; a strange shyness always stops her before she can speak.

Yuu Tenkuji was well aware of her innocent side, so he spoke first: "They are boyfriend and girlfriend."

"Am I like that with Yuu?" Yuihama asked immediately, as if she had expected it.

"It's a little different..."

Receiving a glance from Yuuki Tenkuji, Yukino Yukinoshita nodded slightly, exhaled, and then spoke calmly and earnestly:

"I don't know why, but there are some things that Tenkuji-kun can't say or explain. So apart from what happened that day, everything else is mostly my guess, and he fills in the gaps."

"You might find this absurd, but don't question it yet, let me finish—that day, while I was preparing lunch in the kitchen, Tenkuji-kun suddenly said to me..."

Clear and organized, she omitted the unimportant parts and recounted the entire conversation between the two in the kitchen to Yui Yuigahama.

As the words left her lips, it was as if a heavy weight had been lifted from her heart; Yukino Yukinoshita's voice became much lighter, and her attitude became much more relaxed.

"Because the way he pleaded with me was so rare, and because he had indeed helped me a lot in the past, I agreed to be his girlfriend for a while, until he could become the 'ideal boyfriend'... As for where this mission came from, why it needs to be completed, what the reward would be for completing it, and what the punishment would be for not completing it, Tenkuji-kun couldn't explain it. For now, I can only consider it from the perspective of the outcome."

"..."

Having received so much information all at once, Yui Yuigahama's relaxed expression froze on her face, and she remained motionless in her seat as if her brain had shut down.

The other two very considerately quieted down, giving her some time to calmly think things through.

A few minutes later, Yui Yuigahama placed her fingers on both sides of her temples and imitated Ikkyu's spinning motion, her little face scrunched up in the same troubled expression as when facing a math problem.

"Let me sort this out. This is something that actually happened, not a plot from a manga or light novel..."

"Hello, no." Tenkuji Yu shrugged helplessly, saying in a tone that said, "I can't help it if you don't believe me." "The affair was also related to this. Rather, it was because I knew I would be dating someone in the future that I rejected your confession and said things like I would cheat on you sooner or later."

"You didn't take what I said before as a reason to reject my confession, and you don't actually believe my explanation that I had no choice, did you?"

Yui Yuigahama quickly shook her head: "Of course I believe Yui! ...Although I have some doubts, I still believe her overall. It's precisely because I believe her that it's hard for me to accept her right away."

Yuu Tenkuji immediately turned to look at Yukino: "Then why did you accept it so quickly? So you didn't believe me from the bottom of your heart?"

She reached out her soft, cool little hand and pushed his face back, saying irritably, "You think I've accepted it now? I'm just temporarily agreeing to observe your situation. Who told you to have that 'If you don't agree, I'll make the whole world go down with you' look on your face back then? Do you know what a temporary measure means?"

"Who would show that kind of childish face? I suggest you go see an ophthalmologist, it's not easy to treat when you get old."

"Unfortunately, your face is beyond repair. I suggest you wear a gas mask to school from now on, so that everyone who sees you won't have to go to the ophthalmologist like I did."

"You really dare to say that, Ms. Yukinoshita, who has blushed several times over such a trivial expedient measure."

“You…! Hmph, I’m sorry, but I haven’t yet admitted to having the audacity to associate with non-human species, Mr. Sky Temple Insect.”

"Tsk tsk, when you're shy and unwilling to lie, you can't help but mock others, Yukinoshita Yuki-onna... Oh, so cute."

"..."

Ignoring the two who had started arguing again, Yui Yuigahama held her head in her hands and thought for a long time. Whether she had figured it out or given up, she suddenly slapped her thighs hard and sighed heavily.

"Being forced to find someone to date, and to become the ideal boyfriend, is just like playing a dating game!"

“You’re absolutely right. I wish my life were that easy.” Putting the flustered Yukino aside, Tenkuji Yuu turned to reply to Yuigahama Yui.

Although there are plenty of challenging dating sims out there, his is actually quite friendly... at least no one dies at the end, or the whole world is just a dream, and he's actually lying in bed unconscious or something.

He sighed and said, "That's about all I can tell you. You can think of it as a prank by the gods, or you can say that the will of the universe was just bored and gave some innocent human a trial... Although I want to resist, I don't have the strength yet, so I can only shamefully ask Yukinoshita for help."

"It's not shameful to ask me for help." Yukino Yukinoshita said proudly, tossing her long hair over her shoulder.

"Hmm—" Yui Yuigahama looked back and forth between the two of them, frowned and pondered for a while before asking Yuu Tenkuji, "Yuu, did that 'god' not want me to date you? Or was it that you could only choose the person closest to you? If you could choose me, the 'ideal boyfriend' task you mentioned should have been easy to complete."

“It really didn’t give me the option to choose you,” Yuu Tenkuji answered honestly. “Besides, unlike Yukinoshita, you’ve liked me for so long, I can’t just take advantage of your feelings to complete the mission, can I? That would be too despicable. So even if it gave me the option, I wouldn’t ask you for a favor.”

Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at him but didn't say anything.

“That’s true… Hehehe, Yui’s gentleness is my favorite quality!” Yui laughed shyly and happily, then looked at Yukino Yukinoshita and blinked curiously.

"So, Xiaoxue decided to date him because Xiaoyou asked her to?"

“Yes.” Making friends is not easy, Yukino sighed. “Who told him to be one of my few friends? Although it’s a big sacrifice, someone as magnanimous as me would never stand idly by when a friend is in trouble… No matter how outrageous the trouble is, as long as he can convince me, I will lend him a helping hand.”

This is also part of the club activities, right? As the head of the Service Club, I can't show favoritism and ignore my own members.

After she finished speaking, she nodded with satisfaction.

"Oh—I see—" Yui Yuigahama drawled, a secret smile creeping across her lips.

That blatant disbelief made Yukino Yukinoshita frown, and she was about to tell Yukino to speak her mind when...
