I really don't want to have a girlfriend.

Yuigahama Yui stared intently into her eyes, her tone inexplicably certain despite being a question:

"Xiaoxue, you like Xiaoyou, right?"

Yukinoshita Yukino: "..."

Chapter 90 They don't like you at all!

"If that weren't the case, no matter what happened, you wouldn't associate with people you don't like!"

There's only one truth! — With that expression on her face and pushing up her invisible glasses, Yui Yuigahama declared emphatically:

"Being asked by Xiaoyou is one thing, but the main thing is that Xiaoxue has actually liked Xiaoyou for a long time, so she doesn't resist dating him!"

The voice of the famous detective echoed in the clubroom, while Yukino Yukinoshita sat taut in her seat like a statue.

"You and I……"

From her initial stunned silence, to her pale face flushing a bright red, her mouth agape as if trying to explain, only to be forced to shut up under Yuihama's provocative gaze that seemed to say, "Come on, lie!"

She bit her lower lip from left to right, but she couldn't muster her usual sharp mind to come up with a retort that could both negate the other person's statement and deliver a counterattack.

Unless you tell a harmless little lie, as long as you don't get caught...

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but secretly shift her gaze and steal a glance at Tenkuji Yu, wanting to know his current expression.

Then I immediately regretted it.

Because this guy was just waiting there, completely at ease, for me to look at him. Then, the moment our eyes met, he cupped his cheeks in his hands, turned halfway around shyly, and called out in a sweet, coquettish voice:

"Don't look at me! I don't like you at all, you're so annoying!"

Then it writhed like a maggot, blinking its eyes as fast as if it had been electrocuted.

Yukinoshita Yukino: "..."

It was as if you could hear the sound of the scalp and veins on his head bursting open.

Because his acting is so good, this guy is also at the highest level of provoking people.

Who cared whether he was lying or not? An immense anger replaced the shame of not wanting to speak openly. His face turned red with anger, his eyes were like cold, burning flames, and you could hear the distinct grinding of his teeth.

With a deep breath, she slowly raised her finger and pointed at Yuu Tenkuji, her eyes fixed on Yui Yuigahama, and asked, word by word:

You're saying I'd like this kind of thing?

Yui Yuigahama: "Ahahaha..."

Although this is what she likes, she can't deny that Tenkuji Yu is really annoying right now. Even she wants to punch him with her little fists to make him act normal.

But without her even needing to hit him, Tenkuji Yu quickly regained his usual calm demeanor, leaning lazily back in his chair and casually saying:

"Don't worry about such trivial matters. My relationship with Yukinoshita isn't based on feelings, so whether I like her or not is completely unimportant."

Having long been accustomed to his episodes, Yukino Yukinoshita nodded and quickly returned to a serious tone: "The important thing is how to make him the 'ideal boyfriend'... To be honest, this requirement is too vague. I've never had a boyfriend before, nor am I a professional animal trainer, so I have no idea where to start."

"Does this have anything to do with animal trainers? Is your ideal boyfriend a husky or a poodle?"

"I'm afraid people are more troublesome than dogs." Yukino Yukinoshita smiled, feeling a strange sense of triumph.

"Yuu, didn't that 'God' explain it to you?" Yui Yuigahama interrupted as usual before the two started arguing. "Like, what criteria do you need to complete to pass the level, or does getting Yuki to give you a kiss count as success?"

Yukino Yukinoshita reflexively showed a look of disgust: "Sorry, I can't do that."

"I told you, things aren't that simple for me." Yuu Tenkuji spread his hands and sighed. "It only mentioned the ideal boyfriend; the rest is up to me. Anyway, based on my... guesses, it probably means doing things that will satisfy Yukinoshita, right?"

—That was close, I almost blurted out "Anyway, based on my experience".

Although Yukino Yukinoshita and Masuzu Natsukawa are watching closely, and sooner or later they will expose the truth that this is not the first time he has done this kind of thing, and that Yukino Yukinoshita is not his first "girlfriend"; at least for now, it is better to minimize the trouble of discussion and let them accept it step by step.

Yuu Tenkuji didn't want to see Yukino Yukinoshita staring at him incredulously, saying in a mocking, scum-like tone, "You dated my sister before? You slept with both of us sisters?"...

It's so embarrassing.

What kind of actions from a boyfriend would satisfy Xiaoxue?

Yui Yuigahama frowned, resting her chin on her hand as she pondered, "Hmm... If it were me, I'd be happy just to have Yui by my side... It's hard to imagine what Yuki would be like. I feel like ordinary dates and taking care of her definitely wouldn't be enough to satisfy her..."

“I don’t need that much trouble.” Yukino Yukinoshita’s expression softened as she looked at Yuu Tenkuji with affection, like a mistress hoping her pet would become obedient soon. “As long as he can live like a human being, I have no other requests.”

"Ha, that's all you can say now." He rolled his eyes, showing his disdain.

"Jokes aside, if it really comes down to completing that task of yours, I will make demands on you without any mercy."

Yukino Yukinoshita crossed her arms, her expression turning stern, and said mercilessly, "No matter what the request is, you have to do it perfectly. Even if it's you, I won't go easy on you—and the way you are now, you're still a long way from the perfection I imagine. Get ready."

"Don't worry, it's my own business after all. I can't let you care more than me." Tenkuji Yu waved his hand, then suddenly thought of something and looked at her eyes curiously.

"So what is your 'ideal of perfection'? An omnipotent superman or a gentle boy who is good for nothing except being kind?"

"..."

Upon hearing this question, Yukino Yukinoshita was slightly taken aback.

Then, for some reason, her gaze shifted away, and she stopped looking at him.

With an involuntary smile, Yuu Tenkuji still maintained a childlike innocence and curiosity, pressing on, "Tell me! How am I supposed to know where to focus my efforts if you don't tell me? For my sake and for our future, please tell me what kind of prince charming Yukinoshita has in mind!"

Yukino Yukinoshita brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, turned her expressionless, delicate profile toward Yuu Tenkuji, and showed no intention of paying him any attention.

She said to Yui Yuigahama:

"Yuigahama-san, we've said everything we needed to say to you. If you have any complaints or feel the urge to vent, please do so to the culprit over there. I had no intention of stealing your boyfriend... To be honest, I only found out about your relationship two days ago."

"Yeah, I know." Yui Yuigahama nodded and smiled, looking much more relaxed than before. "Although Yuki never admits her feelings, I believe you. You would never have any intention of stealing someone else's love! Besides, neither Yuki nor Yuu dated each other because they liked each other, so I have no reason to blame either of you~"

"That's good..." Yukino Yukinoshita breathed a sigh of relief. After thinking for a moment and confirming that there were no omissions in the explanation of their relationship, it was time for her to ask questions.

Ever since she heard that sentence yesterday, she's wanted to ask the person involved this question:

"Yuigahama-san, could you explain what you meant by 'three-person date' yesterday?"

Chapter Ninety-One: The Service Department's Annual Emotional Drama (Two-in-One)

"It's very simple, it just means the three of us go out to play together."

Yui Yuigahama blinked as she answered.

That overly matter-of-fact attitude left Yukino Yukinoshita speechless for a moment.

Seeing this expression, Yui Yuigahama touched the bun on her head and smiled a little shyly: "I know what you want to ask, Yuki."

"Actually, after knowing the reason why you two are dating, this suggestion was no longer necessary... It was only so that I could stay by Xiaoxue and Xiaoyou's side that I wanted the three of us to go on a date together to deepen our relationship."

"So that you can stay by our side?" Yukino Yukinoshita lowered her head, seemingly frowning in thought, her murmurs growing increasingly incredulous, "Yuigahama-san, if we were really dating, wouldn't what you're doing be the same as—"

"Yes, it means letting Xiaoyou have two relationships at the same time. I want both of them, and I don't want to give up either of them."

Yui Yuigahama answered frankly.

Yukino Yukinoshita fell silent, her breathing barely audible.

As if trying to drown out the questioning atmosphere, she continued calmly, "It's stupid, isn't it? But it's the only thing I can do. I've thought about it a lot. I'm afraid of leaving Xiaoyou, and I also want to have Xiaoyou all to myself. I don't want Xiaoyou to be taken away by Xiaoxue, and I don't want to lose anything more."

"But if you're just afraid, you can't do anything. So I have to be thick-skinned and protect what belongs to me."

Tenkuji Yu looked at her quietly, and she simply looked back at him with a straightforward and firm gaze.

"Even if Xiaoyou and Xiaoxue are really dating, it doesn't matter, because I came here first. I don't want to give up, so I can only change my mind and accept the fact that he has other girlfriends."

Whether those people accept it or not has nothing to do with Yui Yuigahama.

Even if she's not the only one, as long as she can be his number one, Yui Yuigahama is already content—Is Sora feeling the same way now? Faced with a bad woman who wants to take her brother away, if she can't stop her, she should just let things take their course and make sure she can stay by his side first.

At the same time, she wasn't such a naive and selfless girl; she also had her own little thoughts that she couldn't say directly...

If the other two or three people can't stand this situation and quit automatically, then wouldn't I smoothly become his only one?

Yes, this is a trial.

This tests whether her promise, "No matter what happens, I'll be with you," was just a pretty phrase she said to move him.

Yui Yuigahama will never compromise!

Putting aside her grievances and bitterness for the time being, she greedily pursued what she wanted, forged ahead without regard for others' opinions, and acted to satisfy her own desires—if she didn't date like this, she believed she would eventually become a loser, watching him drift further and further away from other girls.

That's right, just like the past two years.

Now, Yui Yuigahama will prove herself. Her resolve is no less than that of the others who came after her, and her feelings are definitely not fragile glass that breaks at the slightest touch!

She's already taken all the front-row seats; if she still loses to someone else, she might as well become a nun!

"Yuigahama-san..."

For some reason, Yukino Yukinoshita's voice sounded slightly hoarse, as if she wanted to pull Yukino back from the edge of a cliff: "This is unreasonable, you didn't have to do this."

Yui Yuigahama looked at him seriously: "I'm sorry, but I can't be with the person I like. If it weren't him, I wouldn't have done something so strange."

Yukino Yukinoshita's voice unconsciously became forceful, almost questioning: "It's one thing to date someone for the purpose of asking for help, but are you going to ignore him if he becomes promiscuous in the future? Reality is neither a novel nor ancient times. Even if you can accept him having multiple wives and concubines, have you thought about what others will think of you?"

"Xiaoxue, you probably know better than I whether Xiaoyou is the kind of playboy. As for the future, to be honest, I haven't thought that far ahead. Anyway, Xiaoyou will definitely protect me, so I'm not afraid of any rumors!"

"Are you... an idiot...?"

"Girls in love are indeed all idiots."

"Indulging him like this will only make his womanizing ways more outrageous... What if, after this mission is over, he ignores your feelings and starts dating other girls..."

"Then go find it!"

Yui Yuigahama said with a grin, like a carefree, mischievous child, "I remember he told me before—'I will cheat, at least twice,' so if we count this time, then there's one more time, right?"

"Whether it's for those weird missions or not, I just hope my next 'girlfriend' will be as easy to get along with as Xiaoxue!"

Seemingly without thinking, she said those words with ease and anticipation.

"..."

As if her worldview had been greatly shaken, Yukino Yukinoshita held her slightly dizzy head, pressing her thumb against her throbbing temples, and was speechless.

No matter how well Yui Yuigahama spoke, she could never understand her thoughts and awareness—could anyone really be so magnanimous?

Which girl can tolerate the person she likes giving their heart to other girls, having her but still being affectionate with others?

At least, Yukino Yukinoshita imagined that scene; she couldn't do it...
