I really don't want to have a girlfriend.

Yukino Yukinoshita raised an eyebrow.

He smiled and said, "I'm very confident in your charm, and in my charm... If you ever fall in love with me, I'll probably fall in love with you in the same way."

"Don't ask why, I just have a feeling about it."

"you……?"

Her soft pink lips parted in surprise, and Yukino Yukinoshita looked into his eyes in astonishment, almost instantly realizing that he had said those words from the bottom of his heart.

Yuu Tenkuji showed no intention of explaining, instead turning her gaze back to the distant scenery rewinding as the train moved forward, and slowly said:

"If you really hate it, I will respect your opinion and keep a proper distance from you... Just don't put too much pressure on yourself, and don't take Yui's words to heart. Just get along naturally like usual, that's the best way for us."

"Most suitable for...us?"

Yukino lowered her head thoughtfully, silently pondering these words. It was unclear what she was thinking about, but the icy demeanor that had been forced on her face gradually melted away.

"That's right!"

His tone was relaxed, as if he were greeting a bird that had just disappeared: "If there were no requests, if Yui and I weren't boyfriend and girlfriend, if we were arguing about those pointless things in the Service Club every day... then now, would you still care about how you get along with me?"

"..."

With her long eyelashes drooping, Yukino Yukinoshita's expression gradually became dazed as she listened to his voice.

The images formed by those possibilities took shape in her mind, and each scene made her slow her breathing, walking in her imagination with focused and quiet attention, not even noticing a strand of hair stuck to the corner of her mouth.

……

As the sun sets, only the two of them remain in the room.

The cawing of crows, the slightly cool air, and the spirited shouts of the sports club.

She turned the pages of the book, while he scrolled through his phone, casually arguing about some trivial matter.

Occasionally, they would look up at each other, a strong yet cheerful smile playing on their lips, having grown accustomed to each other's gaze.

When it was almost time, they tacitly packed up their things, worked together to turn off the doors, windows, and lights, and left the club room while still arguing.

Perhaps it was to go with the flow, or perhaps it was just a chance encounter on the shoulder, but their hands ended up clasped together without them even realizing it; and without them even realizing it, looking at the seemingly endless road, they could tell his expression just by the warmth of their hands.

I didn't think about anything, I didn't need to care about anything, and I didn't need to say anything.

And so, comfortably and naturally, we walked with him from sunset to starry night.

……

"...It really is."

The tram was still swaying, and the arrival announcement came on as the tram gradually slowed down.

With a barely perceptible sigh, Yukino Yukinoshita raised her head, tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, and smiled as if she couldn't do anything about it.

"Now I see for myself what kind of sweet talk you use to bewitch girls."

Her lips curved slightly, and her eyes were clear and bright.

The wavering look in her eyes had vanished, and she stared intently at Tenkuji Yu's profile, as if she had made some kind of decision.

"rhetoric?"

Tenkuji Yu curled her lip and said disdainfully, "If telling the truth can be considered sweet talk, there wouldn't be so many scumbags who deceive people's feelings in this world."

"There are also a lot of scumbags who don't lie about feelings, right?" Yukino said jokingly, as if pointing at something.

Tenkuji Yu shrugged indifferently.

"Anyway, it wasn't me."

Honestly, he couldn't continue the mission without letting go of his emotions. There's probably no one more devoted than him.

Even now, he is still so proud of himself.

Unfortunately, the current situation does not seem to be going as he wishes.

If he were to fall in love with Yui Yuigahama, who is his target, then his so-called devotion and persistence would be nothing but a joke.

On the fourth mission, his thoughts and actions began to contradict each other.

Even so, Tenkuji Yu didn't want to lie to herself or to her.

Given time, Yuuto Tenkuji might fall in love with Yukino Yukinoshita, and he has to admit that.

Because the system is adept at manipulating his own emotions, it seems to want to see him suffer the pain of being forced to separate from the person he loves.

...on one occasion, I even recorded it.

This is the part that truly troubles Yuu Tenkuji.

"What should he do if he can't complete the system mission without mutual affection with Yukino Yukinoshita?"

Does it mean that not only in actions, but also in one's heart, one must be able to have two feet in one boat and like two people at the same time?

He couldn't find an answer to this question for the time being.

That's why I said that to Yukino Yukinoshita:

"Just treat me normally and don't take this date too seriously."

As Yui Yuigahama wishes, Yuu Tenkuji will take the initiative to love and cherish her, and strive for "his own goal".

His thoughts, her thoughts.

Finding a path forward amidst contradictions—that's the realization Tenkuji Yu has made today.

The tram slowly came to a stop, and the doors opened to both sides as announced over the loudspeaker.

There was no crowding, bumping into each other, or even a car-kissing scene like in the comics. The two got off the bus smoothly with the flow of people and walked towards Disneyland according to the map.

Actually, you don't need to look at a map, because most people who get off at this station head towards the entrance of Disneyland. It's very close; once you exit the station, you can see the towering and magnificent buildings, with skyscrapers, drop towers, and pirate ships looming in the distance, as well as roller coasters speeding through the air with screams.

Yuuki Tenkuji could sense that the girl beside him was getting excited, seemingly eager to rush in and have some fun.

The way her eyes shone was no different from that of a seven or eight-year-old child—the only difference was that she was more reserved and tried her best to suppress her inner joy through her actions.

Amused, Yuu Tenkuji suddenly asked, "By the way, I've been calling your name all day, is that alright?"

As if she didn't care about the question at all, Yukino Yukinoshita didn't turn her head and quickened her pace, urging, "Don't keep asking about such trivial matters, let's hurry up! We'll go in through the special entrance of the annual pass, so we don't have to queue with the others."

"Okay, okay~" Tenkuji Yu shrugged and followed her. "So, are you going to call my name? Yukino?"

"We'll see. I don't think it's necessary."

They really don't care?

Sensing the nonchalance in her tone, Tenkuji Yu was slightly surprised, but when she saw the system notification that popped up, she couldn't help but laugh.

"Congratulations, host, you have received a reward: a Disneyland annual pass (permanent)."

Although it's a small thing, it still makes me a little happy to be called by my name.

Yukinoshita is as innocent and adorable as ever.

Chapter 118 Rectification Notice

Chapter 118 is currently being taken down for rectification, probably because it describes how doing yoga can make you tighter and the protagonist has erotic dreams. I have already corrected it, and it will probably be released for review on Monday.

Of course, because our reviewer is very busy, he might not have had time to review me on Monday. I, the humble author, don't know how long it will take. I can only pray that it gets done quickly.

Having already learned from the previous experience of being shut down for nearly a month, the author is wary and will try to remove any sexually suggestive parts. Even if the protagonist loses his virginity, it can only be mentioned with phrases like "that night, he and she grew a lot." There's no need for detailed descriptions; even using euphemisms is risky.

Because it will make the reviewer BOKI~

Chapter 122 Sisters' War (14)

Yuuki Tenkuji could sense that someone was following them.

However, there were many people around, and since he already knew who the little tail behind him was, he didn't bother to turn around and confirm. He casually entered the amusement park with Yukino Yukinoshita.

The park had only been open for a short time in the morning, but it was already more crowded than when he and Yang Nai had come in the evening last time, with tourists from both China and abroad.

Cheerful background music played from speakers all around, and animal-shaped puppets were taking pictures with children, some holding flyers, some holding balloons, and some striking their signature poses.

Looking further ahead, long queues have already formed for many amusement rides, and occasionally, screams with the Doppler effect can be heard piercing the blue sky, carrying far and wide in the cool season.

"...It's truly something to miss."

Subconsciously slowing her pace, Yukino Yukinoshita exhaled with a sigh, gazing at the surrounding scenery, a smile naturally appearing on her lips.

Yuu Tenkuji stood beside her, his gaze sweeping over the amusement park rides they had once taken, a nostalgic expression also appearing on his face.

"Yes, I really didn't expect it to happen again so soon..."

"So soon?" Yukino Yukinoshita looked at her with a questioning gaze. "Have you been here recently? With Sora?"

“My sister wouldn’t leave home just to come to an amusement park.” Yuu shrugged, subtly changing the subject. “Look, there’s a Christmas tree over there.”

From the main entrance to the middle of the amusement park area, there is a long stone path that is lit up with dim yellow lights at night, making it a perfect place for couples to stroll, chat, and whisper sweet nothings.

At the end of the road is a square, also in a Western style, with a tall Christmas tree standing next to a fountain made of blue bricks.

The direction he was pointing was the Christmas tree, which was still bare and had not yet been decorated.

"Speaking of which, Christmas is just around the corner."

Yukino followed the gaze, her soft, cherry-colored lips pursed slightly, and she nodded thoughtfully.

"Well, although your skills at changing the subject are terrible, I'll try to be gentle with you today and won't press you about who you came with."

"Is it just temporary?" Yuu Tenkuji twitched the corners of her mouth, as if she were giving a bitter smile. "If I didn't want to lie to you, do you think I'm really that stupid? Be sensible, gentle Yukino-san."

"What? You're not going to use your usual tricks to fool others on me today?" She gently brushed aside the ends of her hair that fell over her shoulder and glanced at me with a half-smile. "Cunning Yu... Mr. Tenkuji, if you really don't want to say it, you can lie as much as you want, it's fine."

"And then you'll expose me and slap me in the face?" Tenkuji Yu retorted speechlessly. "I'm not you. Even if you're ashamed to call me by my name, I won't call you out on it so you'll be embarrassed."

"Yeah."

Unfortunately, Yukino Yukinoshita did not blush as he expected; she simply shrugged nonchalantly.

After seemingly giving him a light kick to the shin, the girl strode gracefully and dignifiedly toward the distinctive amusement park buildings.

As Tenkuji Yu hurried to keep up with her, he could see her stunningly beautiful profile, which was both aloof and haughty, even when she was expressionless.

Aside from him, I doubt any other man would dare to get too close to Yukino Yukinoshita with that expression on her face.
