I really don't want to have a girlfriend.

With no one watching, she stretched out her arms with ease and laughed from the bottom of her heart.

"After all, you're my boyfriend. My only boyfriend!"

“Ayu…”

Calming down and repeatedly reciting the name, I did feel a strange sense of familiarity and peace.

Natsukawa Masuzu couldn't help but chuckle and remark, "Even someone as terrible as me would use such a common way of addressing myself."

"However, I like it very much."

Although I only remember a few sentences.

But his past must have been a very beautiful love story that no one would ever want to forget, right?

So, the memory can never be recovered?

impossible.

Because of miracles like that, no matter how many times she loses, Natsukawa Masuzu will find her way back.

That was the last time I cried.

In front of the toilet at Tenkuji Yu's house, she made this declaration to herself.

From now on, I must smile when I'm with him.

……

"What did you say to her?"

"I love my two girlfriends, and some things from the past."

"Be serious."

Yukino rolled her eyes at him, then looked around to make sure everyone else was still focused on the last lap of the race. She nervously stood on tiptoe and kissed him.

"—"

The gray kitten on the cabinet stared wide-eyed at the two kissing, its slightly wagging tail suddenly snapping straight in mid-air, seemingly completely unable to comprehend what was happening before its eyes.

Hot breath brushed past my ear, and our hearts raced, matching each other's heat.

"...It's even more exciting than I imagined."

After only two or three seconds of kissing, she quickly covered her rosy lips and turned her face away, her breathing rapid and her ears flushed with a delicate color, completely unable to meet his gaze.

However, despite her seemingly shy demeanor, for some reason, Yuu Tenkuji detected a mischievous excitement and pleasure in her reaction, even a sense of eager anticipation.

He pursed his still-sweet lips and asked with mixed feelings, "...Aren't you afraid of being discovered by others?"

"As long as we don't get caught, it'll be fine," Yukino said matter-of-factly.

Indeed, it is practically a universal truth.

However, this was not the answer that Yuu Tenkuji wanted to hear.

"Yukino...when did you become this thrill-seeking person? The stairwell of the special building wasn't enough, you actually came to my house and stole a kiss from behind them..."

"Cough cough..."

Yukino Yukinoshita coughed awkwardly twice. Although her face was flushed, she still managed to put her hand on her chin and put on a thoughtful expression.

"When? Let me think..."

Not long after, she looked at Tenkuji Yu with a sudden realization, her tone innocent and adorable.

"Probably when you were taking advantage of me while you were kissing me?"

Tenkuji Yu's lips twitched, and he quickly succumbed to her bright and smiling gaze.

"Fine, whatever you want."

"Really? Then I won't be polite."

"Uh, please consider the occasion at least..."

Seeing his girlfriend's triumphant, sweet smile, he helplessly slumped his shoulders, resigned to her thrill-seeking act of stealing kisses.

And putting everything else aside, there's this kind of astringent feeling, like Yukino Yukinoshita...

Actually, they're quite cute.

Chapter 138 Even if you think nothing during the day, you'll still dream at night?

After dinner, I cleaned up the mess of dishes and cups that almost filled the sink.

Isshiki Hachiman approached Yuu Tenkuji.

"Senior, you haven't forgotten what we agreed on before, have you?"

"A video of a policy opinion survey? I haven't forgotten, let's bring it on now."

The others were asked to sit near the dining table, which temporarily cleared out the filming area.

Yuuichi Tenkuji sat on the sofa with a friendly, sunny smile, striking a pose like a political speaker for the camera.

"Alright, we can start anytime."

Even though he was only wearing a school uniform, his sudden change in demeanor gave him the air of a well-dressed, formal man.

"I feel like the senior is so skilled..."

Muttering admiringly, Isshiki turned on the camera and expertly adjusted the settings, her expression becoming equally serious: "Alright, we'll start in three seconds. Three, two, one... Go!"

Tachibana Kanade, holding a manuscript in her hand, stood off-camera and began to read it in a flat, monotone tone.

What are your expectations for the new student council?

"To bring a more complete and comfortable campus life to all students and to become a bridge connecting the school and students."

Is there anything they want us to pay attention to or be wary of?

"It is important to allocate work appropriately, delegate tasks, and take reasonable breaks. Students should focus on their studies and not let the heavy workload of the student union drag them down."

"Do you agree with the policy that the cafeteria must consistently offer Mapo Tofu as a lunch dish and actively develop Mapo-related dishes?"

"I don't care... but please, junior Lihua, don't add your own selfish motives to it, at least don't do it so openly."

"..."

"Huh? Feeling down? Never mind then. I personally strongly support opening a Mapo Tofu section in the cafeteria, and I'm willing to offer all the Mapo Tofu recipes I know, so that Li Hua juniors can eat as much as they want and enjoy different flavors of Mapo Tofu every day!"

"I've received your suggestion, and I'll include it as part of my new political platform. Thank you, Yu-senpai."

"Kaka! You two idiots, can't you just stick to the script?! This kind of video won't be broadcast!"

"Wow, the camera is speaking."

"Who's in charge of the camera?! I'm the director, you all have to listen to me!"

Under the arrogant orders of Director Isshiki, the two innocent-looking people had no choice but to start over. This time, they didn't improvise and obediently recited their lines according to the script.

However, after filming the second version, Yukino asked, "Won't this kind of background make people think it's at home, causing some misunderstandings?" So they had to take out the green screen used for filming the video, hang it on the wall, and film the third version of the political interview. They were just waiting for the post-production team to replace it with whatever background Yuu Tenkuji wanted.

We finished eating, dealt with most of the matters, and were tired of playing games.

As Kasugano Sora grew more energetic, while Tachibana Kanade squinted and swayed from side to side, beginning to doze off in the night, Tenkuji Yu put on his coat, preparing to take the group of girls home.

Before leaving, he carefully reminded his younger sister who was staying at home: "Look at Xiao Zou, how healthy her schedule is. She prepares to rest when her biological clock is on time... What about you? You stay up all night every day, you're not a web novelist, why do you only get inspiration in the middle of the night!"

"Are you my mother?! Besides, I've been staying up late for a long time, why do you have to say it now!"

With annoyed grinning, Kasugano Sora said with a hostile look in her eyes, "And so what if you have a healthy lifestyle? Kanade's figure is still about the same as mine. Her breasts haven't grown and she hasn't grown taller. So there's no need for her to change at all."

"Ah, this..."

What should I do? What she said makes so much sense.

Her expression became subtle. Yuu Tenkuji subconsciously turned her head and glanced at Kanade Tachibana, who was being supported by Iroha Isshiki—thankfully, her eyes were completely closed, and she was probably half asleep and hadn't heard her younger sister's rude words.

As for body shape, he didn't pay any attention to it, since he wasn't interested in flat-chested women.

Under the kind gazes of Yukino and Yui, Tenkuji Yu sighed helplessly and rubbed Kasugano Sora's head.

"Forget it, with your current physical condition, as long as you get enough sleep every day and don't stay up for three days and three nights at a time, you should be fine. There's really no need to worry so much."

The effects of that "elixir of life" were remarkable. Qiong now has a rosy complexion and is full of energy, no longer the sickly person she used to be. Even if she stays up until three or four in the morning, she can quickly recover her energy after just two or three hours of sleep after getting up for breakfast at six in the morning. She no longer needs to go back to the doctor for medication to monitor her physical condition.

For Yuu Tenkuji, there couldn't be a better thing.

If the system hadn't become increasingly outrageous, the fact that his sister was able to recover her health would have been enough for him to thank it a hundred times over.

As for now?

To put it bluntly, Yuu Tenkuji wished he could mold the system into the shape of a silicone doll and shove it on the ground.

"Hmph, good to know." Considering there were still outsiders at the entrance, Kasugano Sora subconsciously omitted the 'secret', pouted and took his hand away, saying in a cold tone, "If you want to nag, I'll listen to your nagging when you get back. Hurry up and send the person home safely, and then come back as fast as you can."

Seeing her slightly awkward expression, Yuu Tenkuji couldn't help but tease her, "Don't worry, I wouldn't dare leave my lonely little sister at home for too long."

"..." Kasugano Sora's lips twitched, and dark energy appeared on her face.

She glanced at Yukino Yukinoshita, then at Yui Yuigahama.

Finally, he turned his gaze back to Yuu Tenkuji, gave a meaningful, cold laugh, and slowly began to speak:

I don't want to be too rude.

But, are you afraid of being lonely?

I'm afraid someone might get too intimate with one of his girlfriends and end up sleeping at her place.

"...Understood, brother will head out now."

Seeing that her younger sister was too precocious, Yuu Tenkuji decisively ended the conversation, casually wiped away her cold sweat, and turned to greet the people waiting in the entrance hall.

"Let's go, I'll take you all back one by one in order."

……

The so-called "in order" refers to the order from the Sky Temple's house to the station.

The Yui family would be the first to be affected, so Kasugano Sora's worries were completely unnecessary—in front of everyone, Yui had no chance to do anything bad that would keep her home late.

As for Yukino Yukinoshita, she unfortunately lives in the same apartment building as Masuzu Natsukawa. With this super-powerful third wheel around, she doesn't even have a chance to sneak up on him again and can only say goodbye to him in a calm and ordinary way.
