I really don't want to have a girlfriend.

Around 7:30 or almost 8:00, he quietly left home with his wallet and keys. The trams were out of service due to the heavy snow, so he ran all the way to Sobu High School. It felt like ice crystals were falling out of his lungs when he breathed, but they were quickly evaporated by his body heat.

As for why he ran to Soubu High School at this time, the reason is actually very simple - the news this morning happened to be broadcasting live from the street, and while he was eating and watching TV, he happened to see a figure flash by from the edge of the background, and it seemed that he was heading towards Soubu High School.

There was no need to ask any more questions or test her. Tenkuji Yu quickly finished his breakfast and rushed straight to Soubu High School, all to fulfill his promise and find her as quickly as possible.

But when he arrived at the tall and locked gates of Zongwu School, he couldn't help but frown and begin to doubt whether his eyes were right.

"Yukino won't be able to get in then...wait a minute."

Most people use the main gate, so they didn't notice that there is actually a small gate next to the school gate for students or teachers to enter and exit. The lock is hanging on the side and is not locked, and there are obvious signs of it being opened and closed.

The snowdrifts on the door weren't scattered haphazardly on the ground; instead, they were neatly pushed aside.

It's obvious that this was Yukino Yukinoshita's doing.

Yuu Tenkuji breathed a sigh of relief: "Really, you've only just stepped onto the adult ladder and you're already running around like this. You're quite strong, aren't you... Oh, I forgot, you're just as innocent as I am right now."

Telling jokes that only she could understand, Tenkuji Yu, with a strangely cheerful smile, entered the school through the small door with light steps and headed straight for the Service Department on the second floor of the Special Building without any hesitation.

The curtains were drawn, and it was impossible to tell from downstairs whether the lights were on or not. When Tenkuji Yu reached the second floor, she subconsciously slowed her pace.

There's no need to doubt it anymore.

The stairwell has a unique scent, which is even more pronounced in the dry, crisp air of winter.

"Won't suddenly going up like this scare her...? Or should I make some noise to remind her? No, the most important thing is, where did her memories begin to be rewritten..."

The closer he got to the Service Department, the heavier his movements became, as if his legs were being crushed by a head full of hesitation, and he dared not actually walk to the Service Department.

Yuu Tenkuji had to admit that, influenced by a kind of trepidation similar to that of someone returning home, he suddenly didn't dare to greet Yukino Yukinoshita, who was probably alone in the clubroom at the moment, and began to hesitate and waver again.

After all, he was afraid that Yukino would look at him with a puzzled and unfamiliar gaze and suddenly ask him, "Who are you?"

It was as if the whole world had abandoned him, resetting all memories related to him.

...But it's obvious that this is impossible.

There's a LINE group for the Service Department, and I have his contact information. Even if we're no longer a couple, we should still be friends.

So there's no need to be afraid.

Yuu Tenkuji stood in front of the door and took a soft breath.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Knock, knock.

After three seconds of silence, a clear and pleasant voice rang out, sounding somewhat nervous.

"who is it?"

"it's me."

She breathed a faint sigh of relief: "...Tenkuji-kun? Come in."

Tenkuji Yura opened the door and stood at the entrance, looking inside.

Under the winter sun, she sat by the window as always, like a white plum blossom blooming in the snow.

Her black hair was as vibrant as lead powder, and her fair and firm skin was flawless. Apart from being a little modest in the chest area, she was a beautiful girl with almost no flaws.

Suddenly, Yuu Tenkuji remembered the scene when he first met her.

Whether it's an autumn afternoon with the setting sun or a winter morning with the rising sun, she is still so beautiful that she makes my heart flutter.

I've lost count of how many times I've felt relieved that the system didn't take back my feelings, and that I still like her.

'What belongs to me, even if it brings pain, I can't just give it up easily...'

Tenkuji Yuu smiled with a sense of relief, reaffirming her determination to win back the two relationships that had not yet been restored.

"What's wrong? What's so funny?"

Seeing Yuu's smile, Yukino Yukinoshita seemed to have misunderstood something. Her brows furrowed with a hint of coldness, and her expression was slightly displeased.

He casually slipped the alarm into his coat pocket and adjusted his posture, returning to his usual calm and elegant demeanor.

"I never thought that someone other than me would have nothing better to do than come to school for morning reading."

Tenkuji Yu glanced at the table and saw a classic novel with a bookmark already on it. He couldn't help but complain, "You're really something, ignoring the trains being out of service and walking all the way to the Service Club to read. It's not like you don't have heating at home..."

"It's none of your business, it was just a sudden thought." Yukino Yukinoshita scrutinized his empty hands, her eyes filled with growing doubt. "But you, if it's not morning reading time, what are you doing at school?"

"I came to find you." Yuu Tenkuji said frankly, closing the door behind him.

And so he once again received the same wary look that Yukino had given him when they were alone together for the first time, as if he were a rapist.

For some reason, seeing the pretty girl with her hands covering her chest and taking out the alarm again, Tenkuji Yu almost couldn't help but laugh.

Honestly, I know exactly how many moles she has on her chest, so how could I possibly be wary of her...?

No, I can't laugh! If I laugh now, I'll be seen as a pervert!

"What do you want? You even followed me all the way to the clubroom... Can't we just talk online?"

Her stern gaze was fixed on him, but for some reason, after meeting his slightly subtle, even amused gaze, Yukino Yukinoshita's wary body gradually relaxed, as if she had confirmed that he would not harm her.

"And does Yui know about this? Although this isn't the first time we've been alone together like this, you should be even more careful about your conduct in all aspects after you start dating her, to avoid misunderstandings."

Seeing her sternly reprimanding him, Tenkuji slowly exhaled, his smile gradually fading.

"Under the snow, someone once said this to me."

"What?" His nonsensical answer startled Yukino Yukinoshita, who didn't even react the moment he walked towards her.

"Even now, even I, in the future, will you just say, 'That's all in the past'?"—She once asked me this. At the time, I couldn't answer because I didn't want to see the despair and sadness on her face after I nodded to her.

Yukino Yukinoshita frowned even deeper, seemingly feeling a headache coming on, and pressed her thumb hard against her temple: "That sentence feels a little familiar... No, wait, what are you trying to say so inexplicably?"

“I just wanted to tell her…” Yuu Tenkuji stood by the window, looking down at Yukino Yukinoshita, who was staring at him with wide, dark blue eyes, somewhat surprised.

"The future Yuu Tenkuji will embrace the present her, along with her past self."

Without hesitation, he bent down and hugged her, chair and all, as she had lost those memories and seemed to have left nothing behind.

"I like you. Please go out with me, Yukino Yukinoshita."

When they met again, he had already decided to say those words to welcome a new beginning.

This is also one of the vows made by Yuuki Tenkuji and Yukino Yukinoshita.

Ignoring the girl in his arms who suddenly stiffened and turned to stone, he relaxed all his strength and smelled the rich fragrance of her hair.

Slowly raising her gaze, Tenkuji Yuu looked out at the misty scenery through the window.

The dark clouds that had been covered in snow all night gradually dispersed, and sunlight pierced through the layers of darkness, shining on the still-unmelted white snow.

The winter sun reflected a quiet and beautiful light, and in front of me stretched a road and landscape that seemed to go on forever beneath the snow. Even the best eyesight could not see the end of it.

Tenkuji Yu's gaze was distant, and a hopeful smile spilled from the corners of his mouth—since being entangled by this damn system, he had never felt so open-minded and relaxed.

Although everyone should strive for their future.

But what's necessary now is to try to broaden the paths you can choose, instead of letting others and labels limit your possibilities and ultimately become a coward who ties his own hands.

Only by making such preparations can we one day find our goal and run at full speed toward her and the direction they are in.

The road leads to a wide-open space. Although there is still a thin layer of cold mist, it will surely dissipate before the sun rises above the horizon.

Anyway, that's what Yuu Tenkuji thinks.

He will start working on this from now on, trying to win back his girlfriends and work with them to create a future where everyone can be happy.

So, this is probably the only sentence that can express his feelings right now.

"I really want to have another girlfriend..."

Snapped!

No sooner had she finished speaking than a clear handprint appeared on Tenkuji Yu's gentle smiling face.

"Let me go, you scumbag!"

That cold voice, filled with disbelief and embarrassment, was especially clear in the special building where only the two of them were present.

The extra chapter features that bastard senior who's obsessed with married women!

This happened sometime in December in the movie "Angel Gafe".

Because a certain senior student would accompany his girlfriends after school every day, or use club activities as an excuse to get intimate in the club classroom, and he would not usually appear on the first-year floor.

So Isshiki Hatake hasn't seen the senior who led her into the world, taught her all sorts of knowledge, and then left her world on his own for a long time.

"After all, the senior has already resigned, and there are two beauties willing to become his girlfriends..." He slumped weakly on the bar, his cute face, which was lightly made up, flattened into a bun shape without any regard for his image.

Isshiki Iroha drew circles with her finger, sighing like a woman confined to her chambers, "Someone like me is just an ordinary, cute junior. I should be grateful that I even get to appear in the story. What more could I ask for? It's better than being ruthlessly played by my seniors and then slowly forgotten by the author because of the plot..."

In the seat in front of her, Tachibana Kanade looked up from her homework, her pale golden eyes quietly gazing at her.

"Iroha, do you want to see Yu-senpai?"

"No, no! Don't use such a misleading way of saying it!" Iroha Isshiki shook her head vigorously, blushing slightly. "It's not that I want to see you, senpai, it's just that, Kanade, don't you think it's a bit uncomfortable not to see someone with such a high profile as you for a long time?"

"Well, how should I put it..." she gestured, trying to make her point, "Exactly, it's like the big banyan tree at school suddenly disappearing!"

“The banyan tree… is gone…” Tachibana Kanade pursed her cherry lips, her face showing deep thought.

Her small head tilted from left to right, then from right to left, before she blinked, looking slightly bewildered. "Oh~ I think I understand a little better..."

"Right, right!" Iroha Isshiki breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly.

Kanade Tachibana nodded in agreement: "So, Iroha hasn't seen Ryoju-senpai for a long time, and she misses him a lot now?"

"That's right, that's exactly it... just kidding!" With a flick of her hand at the air, Iroha Isshiki perfectly assumed the role of the tsukkomi (straight man). "You didn't understand anything at all! And what's with this 'Banyan Tree Senior' nickname? That's such a corny name!"

"It was Iroha herself who said it... and I feel that's the truth. It would be better to be more honest with yourself."

With a slightly aggrieved tone, Li Hua sighed, tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, and lowered her head to pick up her pen again to continue her homework.

"And frankly..." Iroha puffed out her cheeks, crossed her arms, and looked down at the side with a somewhat awkward expression. "Hmph~ As expected of the student council president, she can spout such grand words of lecturing people so easily, without ever considering the actual situation."

"Oh, right, Ayaha." Tachibana Kanade looked up again.

"W-What's wrong?" Iroha Isshiki was a little startled, but then she realized she wasn't the type to hold a grudge over a few complaints, so she looked over again.

Tachibana Kanade tilted her head slightly, her pure and bright eyes revealing undisguised curiosity: "What did you mean when you said you were ruthlessly manipulated by your senior?"
