I really don't want to have a girlfriend.

"Xiaoyou, Xiaoqiong, let's ignore this troublemaking old woman! Let's go explore on our own!"

"Wait!" Mrs. Yuihama quickly admitted defeat and changed the subject, trying to ease her daughter's embarrassment and anger. "Alright, alright, let's not talk about it anymore. Is there any place you particularly want to visit? I've seen quite a few interesting stalls along the way, and it would be a shame not to try them all."

“Perfect timing, we were planning to start here and visit all the stalls.”

With an apologetic smile, Yuu Tenkuji took his sister's and girlfriend's hands and turned to walk towards the lively scene at the other end of the corridor.

He declared confidently, "It's my treat today! Eat whatever you want, play whatever you want, leave it all to me!"

The black sedan slowly drove into the campus. Since the parking lot was full, the mother and daughter got out of the car at the square in front of the school gate.

"Go find a place to rest nearby. I'll call you when I'm ready to go back." After instructing the driver, Mrs. Yukinoshita looked at Hinano. "So, should I call Yukino?"

"Hehe, I want to give them a surprise~" Yukinoshita Haruno waved away the smoke from the car exhaust and grinned mischievously. "No rush to make a call, let's go check where they should be first!"

"You still have such a perverse sense of humor..." Mrs. Yukinoshita sighed helplessly, fanned herself with her fan a couple of times, and said slowly, "Don't go too far. If you can't find them, it doesn't matter if you finish watching that movie first."

"Okay, come with me."

With a light smile on her face, Yukinoshita Haruno led her mother toward the special building.

About five minutes later, they stood in the empty and deserted corridor, looking at the darkened and locked classroom door, and fell into a moment of silence.

"Nobody's in the clubroom... Damn it, did you all go on a date?!"

Yukino clicked her tongue and stomped her foot indignantly.

Yukinoshita Saori glanced at her lightly, covering her mouth with her fan, her elegant and refined face showing no surprise.

"The school festival has only just begun, so it's understandable that Yukino is eager to go on a date with her boyfriend—I'm the one who's surprised. How can you be so sure they're still in the clubroom right now?"

"There's no reason why, it's just a rare case of misjudging." Yang Nai frowned, thinking about his behavior pattern and Yukino's logic. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck her, and she said confidently:

"After they finish their classwork, they should be heading to the audiovisual room to watch the movie they made!"

"Really?" Yukinoshita Saori raised an eyebrow suspiciously. "How can you be sure?"

"I can't be sure, but I think he... they will do it! Anyway, let's go and see. Like Mother just said, even if we come up empty-handed, we can still achieve one of our goals along the way. Either way, it's not a loss."

With that, Yukino Yukinoshita turned around and prepared to go downstairs, heading towards the teaching building.

Mrs. Yukinoshita shook her head behind her, and the sigh behind the fan dissipated in the cold wind.

"She could have just called Yukino, this child is really..."

Then, in an annoyed tone, he turned up the volume:

"Yonai, slow down! I can't walk fast in wooden clogs!"

Chapter 149 The Wife's Test and Worries

Although she is a married woman, Mrs. Yuihama not only looks young, but also has a lively personality like a vibrant young girl. She doesn't act like an adult at all when you're with her, and is like a gentle and cheerful older sister. She blends in with the three of them without any sense of incongruity.

Kasugano Sora, who was initially a little reserved, gradually let down her guard and comfortably followed Tenkuji Yu around the cultural festival.

The classes on the second floor were all second-year students. Except for Class J, whose classrooms were specially separated, the six classes joined together to decorate the entire corridor like a festival. The crowd was packed from beginning to end, and the boisterous shouts and laughter almost flew out of the corridor, making the clear winter sky lively.

Class 2-A's booth was a shooting range, but due to regulations on the control of dangerous goods, they couldn't even use the weakest rubber band gun, so they changed the props used to fire bullets to...

slingshot.

Honestly, slingshots are more dangerous than rubber band guns, okay? Skilled users can even shoot through the World Government's flag!

While internally complaining, in order not to bother the students from other classes, Yuu Tenkuji did not participate. Instead, he watched from the sidelines as the other three chuckled and shot at the items on the shelf.

Kasugano Sora was aiming at a small Ragdoll cat. Its gray fur looked a bit like Yukino's, but unfortunately it wasn't as obedient. Despite hitting it several times, it didn't fall down, probably because it wasn't strong enough.

Yui Yuigahama aimed at the pink alarm clock, but like her mother beside her, the bouncy ball launched by the slingshot barely hit the shelf, let alone hit it.

Either the shot was aimed in the wrong direction, or the force was too weak. In his anger, he gritted his teeth and shot the ball with all his might, which almost flew into the face of a classmate from Class A, and he was nearly kicked out.

"Why is it so difficult..." Yui Yuigahama's arms ached from pulling the slingshot, and she slumped her shoulders in dejection. After missing every shot, she was ready to give up.

Anyway, the prizes on the shelf aren't very attractive. You can just have some fun at these kinds of booths and that's it. There's no need to actually win anything!

After consoling herself, she looked at her mother beside her—although she hadn't hit anything either, this woman in her thirties seemed quite content, enjoying the sensation of firing wildly with her slingshot.

With a childlike, mischievous smile on her face, she would make "Hey!" and "Ha!" sounds with her movements. The contrast between her appearance and her age caused many male students around her to stare blankly... Although they might not have been looking at her face, but rather at the full, wavy curves that trembled with each thrust.

Yui Yuigahama sighed silently, then forced her mother to put the coat she had taken off for easier movement back on, successfully earning many regretful and resentful glances.

Pshaw, who cares about you guys!

In contrast, her Xiaoyou never glanced at his mother once, completely unconcerned about how alluring the mature woman's figure was. He was practically the most gentlemanly man in the world!

As Yui Yuigahama turned her gaze toward Yuu Tenkuji, she noticed the commotion on Kasugano Sora's side.

Although she was covered by a long-sleeved dress, it was not hard to see that her slender, fair arms were slowly reaching behind her, her fingers pinching an elastic ball and a slingshot band. The skin on the back of her hands was so taut that you could see the pale blue veins underneath. Her petite body was clearly using all her strength, yet she remained incredibly stable.

"Don't underestimate... professional gamers!"

With her right eye closed, she pointed at the cat plush toy in front of her and let out a soft shout in her delicate voice.

Snapped!

The soft fingertips suddenly released the ball, and with the sound of the rubber band hitting the air, the blue spherical light and shadow flew out of the slingshot, crossing several meters in the blink of an eye, and accurately hitting the cat doll's forehead.

It wobbled and swayed a couple of times... Finally, the cat plush toy fell onto the shelf, its four paws in the air as if it were surrendering to her.

Kasugano Sora slowly lowered the slingshot, half-closed her eyes, exhaled, and curled her lips in disdain.

"Tch, I went through all that trouble, and you still collapsed... Although I probably wouldn't have been able to do this if it weren't for the medicine Yu gave me."

The murmur that followed was completely swallowed up by the thunderous applause that erupted from all around.

"Huh? What happened?"

Awakening from her focused state, Kasugano Sora looked around blankly. Before she could react, her upper body was enveloped in a warm and soft embrace.

A sensation of being rubbed in my head, along with Yui Yuigahama's overly excited shouts:

"Wow, Xiaoqiong! How did you do that? What's your secret? You're a sharpshooter!"

"No, it's just like playing a shooting game. As long as your physical condition meets the requirements, you can practice a few more times..."

Kasugano Sora blinked blankly, answered somewhat dazedly, and then suddenly came to her senses.

She quickly broke free from that sinful embrace and swiftly hid behind Yuu Tenkuji, glaring warily and defensively at the giant-breasted monster that had dared to grab her, like a wildcat that had been provoked and no longer trusted humans, its fur standing on end.

"I'm Yu's sister, it's normal that I'm amazing... but that doesn't mean you can hug me and squeeze my face with your filthy things!"

"Huh? Is there a logical connection between these two things...?" Yui Yuigahama pouted innocently, her arms still wrapped around herself.

Mrs. Yuihama put down her slingshot and clapped along with the audience who had witnessed the little girl's impressive shot down of the cat doll. She smiled wryly and said, "I guess I'm getting old. I'm not as good at this kind of game as you young people. I shot more than a dozen times and didn't hit a single one."

Yui Yuigahama turned her head away, dissatisfied: "Mom, I'm a young person too!"

"You're the dumber one~"

Mrs. Yuihama casually walked past her daughter, completely ignoring her sullen expression, and stood in front of Tenkuji Yu, smiling as she looked at him. She blinked her gentle eyes and spoke in a tone full of feigned innocence.

"Hey, hey, there's something I want, could you help me shoot it down?"

Her body was slightly leaning out, and the most prominent part was almost touching her body.

Slowly turning her head, Yui Yuigahama stared at her mother in disbelief—how could someone so openly act cute towards their daughter's boyfriend? This was utterly shameless!

Even if he's your future son-in-law, you can't get that close to him! You're not some easygoing, overweight old lady!

"Sure, which one do you want?"

Before she could rush forward again to stand between the two, Yuu Tenkuji took the slingshot from Mrs. Yui, stood behind Yui, and said with a smile, "Yui and I will help you shoot it down."

"...Huh? Me, me?"

Yui Yuigahama only snapped out of her daze when he took her hand.

As he drew closer, their skin pressed intimately together, and she blushed with panic, her body stiffening as she didn't know what to do. Her mind was racing under the watchful eyes of others, and she was completely unable to calm down from this sudden turn of events.

"Wait, wait, Xiaoyou, you can shoot by yourself, why do you need to come with me?"

Grabbing her soft little hand, he forcefully shoved the slingshot into her delicate, warm palm, and whispered in her ear:

"It's too boring to shoot alone. Since you look like you're not very skilled, I'll teach you how to shoot step by step. Is there a problem? Or do you hate it?"

"N-no...I don't dislike it..."

Even if Yui Yuigahama were stupid or not very bright, her instincts prevented her from saying something as pointless as, "Why don't you teach your mother step by step? Wouldn't that be faster?"

The faint buzzing of mosquitoes gradually melted into hot breath, and Yui Yuigahama couldn't help but soften her body and lean back into his arms. However, she stubbornly kept her upper body straight and tried her best to maintain a serious and proper expression, so as not to make the other classmates laugh at her.

—It's not like it's the first time we've had such close contact. It's just like when she was hugged from behind, like on the Titanic. She's not the kind of girl who would switch sides so easily!

"Come on, I'm ready!"

"Very well, although I don't understand why you're putting on that battle-ready expression." Yuu Tenkuji shook his head with amusement, picked up the bouncy ball, wrapped it around the rubber band, pinched her fingers, and slowly pulled it back together.

"Madam, you haven't said which prize you want yet."

“Those hair ties over there,” Mrs. Yuihama pointed, then complained in a voice the staff couldn’t hear, “Honestly, you can’t even reach them, can you? Instead of finding something to prop them up, they’re just sitting there on the shelf. It feels like they’re just there to make up the numbers…”

“Normally, people wouldn’t fight something like that…” Kasugano Sora muttered to herself, while standing behind the two of them, her eyes fixed on the small gap below them, as if she were preparing for something to happen.

Throughout, Yuu Tenkuji maintained a gentlemanly demeanor, naturally ignoring his sister's wary and sharp gaze. He aimed his slingshot at the hair tie that protruded two centimeters from the stand, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"The lady wants a hair tie... Yui wants that pink alarm clock, so we need this angle and this amount of force..."

Hearing his mutterings, Yui Yuigahama couldn't help but turn her head, startled, and asked, "Yu, you wouldn't be thinking of—"

"Remember this feel... though it's probably not very useful."

With a soft laugh, the slingshot suddenly rose a short distance, and then the rubber band snapped open, carrying a strange force, and an orange spherical light shot out.

"Missed it?" A cry of surprise suddenly rang out.

However, the bouncy ball, which seemed to have missed its target, spun around and hit the shelf pillar, followed by the wooden board, screws... Bang bang bang... After a series of magical reflections that were almost invisible to the naked eye, the bouncy ball, having lost its momentum, slowly came to a stop and rolled to the ground.

Along with it, a hair tie and an alarm clock also fell down.

Of course, many items on the shelf also became "lever points" for the bouncy balls, some falling over, some flipping, and some leaning, as if a naughty child had messed up someone's carefully arranged stall, making it look like a mess.

Yuu Tenkuji didn't seem to care much. After putting down the slingshot and his girlfriend's soft little hand, he turned to the stunned Class A students and smiled apologetically, saying, "Just the hair tie and the alarm clock are fine. We bought so many balls, taking only these two shouldn't cause you any trouble, right?"

To be honest, even if he had the ability to shoot down all the goods on the shelves, he didn't want to think he was being cool and show off, thus ruining the other people's experience of setting up a stall.
