I really don't want to have a girlfriend.

“Yui is busy with class matters, and I finished my work beforehand, so I only have time now,” Yuu Tenkuji said.

“In about half an hour, I’ll be patrolling the various stalls to make sure their activities match the application.” Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at her watch. “There’s still time. Do you have any plans to go anywhere? They should all be in the process of preparing right now.”

"Let's go see the movie you made."

Kasugano Sora must have considered this beforehand. After giving her answer decisively, she turned around and went back to the classroom to pack her things.

Yukino followed her inside and saw the bag of potato chips on the table. She was about to take a broom and rag to clean up the mess, but she found that Sora quickly took out a wet wipe and wiped it clean.

As if seeing her own sensible younger sister, Yukino Yukinoshita couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.

Noticing her expression, Tenkuji Yu casually teased, "What, want to marry into the family?"

"You found out?" Yukino tilted her head up and gave him a sweet smile, but there was no smile in her eyes.

Then her waist was pinched by slender, long fingers and spun around 360 degrees—no matter what kind of girl she is, as long as she has a boyfriend, her proficiency in this "waist twist" move is definitely top-notch.

In front of his sister, Yuu Tenkuji didn't even dare to gasp, and he couldn't possibly tense up to prevent her from pinching him. He could only twitch his cheeks and keep smiling, silently enduring his girlfriend's little temper.

"Stop flirting over there and let's go." Kasugano Sora glanced at them indifferently and walked past them without any expression. "You said this morning you were going to be unhappy for a while, and now you've forgiven him?"

“If I really cared about his dishonesty, I wouldn’t have dated him.” Yukino Yukinoshita sighed helplessly. “Besides, he’s really good at charming girls… Unless he makes some serious mistake, it’s hard to stay angry with him for long.”

"Indeed, otherwise how could you have your cake and eat it too?"

Kasugano Sora sneered at Tenkuji Yu, her face saying, "I knew you were that kind of scumbag."

Yuu Tenkuji pretended not to see anything, locked the Service Club door, and led the two to the location of the audiovisual classroom.

The broadcasting department is currently in charge of that area, so naturally there are students who recognize their faces.

Surprised as they were, the students in the broadcasting club nodded knowingly after Yuu Tenkuji explained that he and his sister had simply brought the club president to see the movie he had made. They accepted the 600 yen for the tickets he had forced upon them and casually seated them in the corner.

Judging from their respectful attitude, just like the leader of a spy reception organization, there are probably some fan club members inside.

Because the cultural season had just begun, they were the only guests in the audiovisual classroom, so the three of them chatted leisurely while waiting for the movie to start.

When will your mother arrive?

"I'm not sure, because my sister will bring her. Even if she says when, she might suddenly show up to surprise us."

"That's really a twisted sense of humor..." Kasugano Sora pouted.

Yuu Tenkuji shook his head dismissively: "Forget it, if we're really asked, we'll just admit it. What's the point of splitting legs if we're so timid!"

"Have you given up on yourself?" Yukino raised an eyebrow with amusement, but a thought suddenly flashed through her mind, and the corners of her mouth slowly pursed, her expression turning serious without being obvious.

She didn't look at Tenkuji Yu, but casually asked the air, "Or do you think that even if we can't get past them now, we can just wait until everyone loses their memories..."

"Don't get me wrong! I've never even considered using delaying tactics."

Before she could finish speaking, Tenkuji Yu flicked her forehead, then quietly reached down and grasped her soft little hand through the gap in the chair: "I just thought about it, can I hide forever? Rather than panicking and making excuses after being discovered, it's better to admit it openly from the beginning. Maybe they'll let me off the hook because I'm such a man."

“…That’s impossible.” Her hand remained quietly in her palm, and she leaned her shoulder against him as if to conceal herself. Her melodious voice was like clear spring water flowing from under an iceberg, quietly passing through her hair.

"At least my mother wouldn't allow it; she might even order me to break up with you on the spot."

"She can control me for a while, but can she control me forever?" Tenkuji Yu said with a laugh, patting his chest arrogantly. "At worst, I'll apologize to her first, and then we can secretly conspire and have a romantic relationship like in a fairy tale! What's there to be afraid of? It's not her who's going to be with me. There are plenty of ways to fool her!"

"Fairy tales?" She chuckled dismissively, but the warmth of her palm tightened as she gripped his. "Stories like Romeo and Juliet are tragedies. You can't be that naive, can you?"

"Of course, so there is also Option B."

Suddenly, Yuu Tenkuji turned his head and whispered in her ear in a magnetic and gentle voice, "Tell her you're pregnant with my child, and that we're destined to be together forever... Take this bombshell, and I don't believe she'll care if you cheat on her or not."

"..."

Her supple body suddenly stiffened, the temperature around her gradually rose, and her breathing seemed to unconsciously become lighter.

In the dimly lit audiovisual classroom, which resembled a movie theater, Yuu Tenkuji couldn't tell if she blushed, or if her expression was one of anger or embarrassment.

He smiled silently, about to say it was just a joke, when he heard her sigh softly and speak in the same faint tone:

"What a terrible idea. You might as well threaten to elope."

Yuu Tenkuji was a little stunned: "...Uh, this doesn't seem much better either."

"Isn't that obvious? Even if it's just a joke, Mother will quickly see through it, and it will only backfire... Unless, you really..."

Tenkuji Yu blinked, instinctively asking, "Really?"

Snapped!

His face was lightly patted, like a slap given in a fit of embarrassment and anger, but it was completely without force, and he easily caught it in his hand.

Her fragrance, her breath, her softness, her warmth—all of these were like nectar seeping from a flowerbed, attracting this male bee.

Yuu Tenkuji couldn't help but feel relieved; the audiovisual classroom was dimly lit, so even if her pants moved slightly, no one would notice.

"Demon, pervert, walking filth..."

She cursed him several times in a cold, low voice, then Yukino Yukinoshita pulled her hand away, sat back down, and seemed to take a few deep breaths before speaking calmly again:

"...Since you know what you're doing, I won't say anything more. Just do your best before you get disliked."

"Don't worry, no one would dare to slight my mother-in-law." Tenkuji Yuu returned to his usual relaxed manner, leaning back lazily in his chair.

"Oh? What about the other mother-in-law?" Yukino gave a mischievous smile.

"Treat them equally, treat them equally..."

"Equality? So you're planning to drop the same bombshell on both mothers-in-law?"

She couldn't help but chuckle, the urge to tease him seemingly outweighing her shyness. Her soft voice breathed warmly into his ear: "You really are a terrible scumbag. If word gets out about this, the Yukinoshita family will probably hunt you down to the ends of the earth."

"That's terrifying? Your family wouldn't happen to have some connection to the yakuza, would it?"

Yuu Tenkuji crossed his arms as if trembling, then gritted his teeth, looking as if he had made a momentous decision: "In that case, I have no choice but to take you all away before I'm thrown into Tokyo Bay! I'm confident I can settle down and start a family in the Arab world. Let's be ready to elope at any time. Let's set sail tonight!"

"Idiot, keep dreaming."

Yukino Yukinoshita shook her head, seemingly helpless, and curled her lips into a slight smile.

Tenkuji Yuu laughed twice like a child, but no one knew what he was thinking.

"The movie is about to start. Please silence your phones and lower your screen brightness so as not to disturb others' viewing experience..."

After a few casual words, a professional-sounding announcement came from the speaker next to us.

The two turned their gazes away, quieted down, and stared at the projection screen in front of them.

Yukino Yukinoshita placed her arm on the armrest, only her little finger quietly reaching out and gently hooking it around his little finger.

He simply hooked his arm around her gently, without making any further intimate gestures, yet the sense of security he provided was even more profound than holding hands.

As the screen lit up, the girl closed her eyes, quietly savoring this clear yet fleeting moment.

'That kind of future... is impossible.'

……

The black sedan drove smoothly and quickly on the road.

Yukino Yukinoshita, sitting in the passenger seat, glanced through the rearview mirror at the kimono-clad woman resting with her eyes closed in the back seat.

Without warning, she suddenly asked, "Mom, if Xiaoxue's boyfriend doesn't meet your expectations, would you force them to break up?"

Yukinoshita Saori opened her eyes and met the gaze in the rearview mirror: "What, do you know something inside?"

"I guess so? After all, as her older sister, I also hope that Yukino can date someone better." With a hint of sarcasm in her voice, Yukinoshita Haruno said casually, "Hmm... let's put it this way. If Yukino's boyfriend was a lecherous bastard who wanted to have sex with her until the end of time, even though she was only a second-year high school student, would you want to advise them to break up?"

Mrs. Yukinoshita's cheek twitched slightly: "...Can you speak more politely? Don't force me to correct your speaking habits."

Yang Nai waved her hand: "That's how we act in private, and I've already used very tactful words."

"Really..." Mrs. Yukinoshita rolled her eyes at her helplessly, then opened her fan to cover her chin and began to think seriously.

"That kind of thing has to wait until after university graduation... at the earliest, high school graduation. Because there's a risk of pregnancy, so if that high school boy doesn't study properly and instead spends his days indulging in debauchery with Yukino, I will definitely tell her to keep her distance from that kind of person as much as possible."

After all, it's possible that the other party is simply attracted to Yukino's appearance and figure. Such a person is completely untrustworthy, and whether it's marrying into the family or marrying into the Yukino family, he should not be allowed to enter.

Seemingly unconcerned about her answer, Yukinoshita Haruno rested her hands behind her head and casually continued asking:

"What if he wasn't so abnormal, but was popular at school and maintained ambiguous relationships with several female classmates at the same time?"

"So, it's a problem with his work style?"

Saori Yukinoshita frowned, a slight look of displeasure on her face. She pondered for a moment and said, "Yukino's taste can't be that bad, right? Given her personality, she would definitely avoid people like this if she could..."

"It's just a hypothesis."

“In that case… wait a minute.” Before answering, Mrs. Yukinoshita paused inexplicably, then shifted her suspicious gaze to Yukinoshita Haruno’s profile.

"Yonai, are you asking this question on behalf of your sister, or on behalf of yourself?"

Yukino thought for a moment, then suddenly revealed a bright smile.

"Both!"

Chapter 147 The Wife (Part 1) Arrives

Class 2-F will be performing in the world-famous musical, "Adler".

On the surface, it was supposed to be a musical, but because it failed to meet various requirements, they changed the script and performed it as a regular play, making it more vivid and interesting.

After a period of tense yet exciting busyness, the stage equipment was set up, all the actors were ready to go, and everything was prepared just like yesterday's rehearsal. The doors were ready to open and welcome guests at any time.

"Those collecting admission tickets need to keep an eye on the money box; not a single yen can be missed!"

"Where's the person handing out flyers? Have they already left? But the flyers are still on the table!"

"Whose idiot gave me this bowl of instant noodles? What time is it... uh, is it Hiratsuka-sensei's? Never mind then..."

"Improvisation! As long as it's improvisation, I want to see two handsome young men sticking together on stage—mmm! mmm!"

"Hime, your mission is over. Now you can just watch over everyone with warm eyes... so put away that rotten look of yours!"

Amidst the clamor and chaos, Yui Yuigahama quietly exhaled and put the needle and thread back into the box.

"This should last for two days, as long as you don't make any big movements, and remember to take it off after you leave the stage..."

"I told you we should spend more money on fabric. That stingy class monitor... he should be made to wear clothes that tear so easily!" Female classmate A muttered in complaint, then turned around and looked at the white dress on her back, revealing a satisfied smile.

"Yuigahama-san, your craftsmanship is really good! You can't see any stitches at all."

"My mom taught me all of this. I'm not as good as her." Yui Yuigahama smiled casually. She had heard similar praise many times and had long since forgotten the feeling of shyness and pride.
