I really don't want to have a girlfriend.

They sat side by side on the sofa, like death row inmates preparing for trial, obediently bowing their heads, submitting to their own imposing, serious, and indifferent gaze.

"Is there anything else you'd like to say?"

As if becoming the center of the entire living room, Kasugano Sora crossed her arms, her gaze sweeping over the two of them before finally settling on her older brother's face.

"Bringing a girl home on the first day of winter break is one thing, but to do that indecent thing in front of the door without caring about what others think... Yu, I'm very disappointed in you."

"Putting aside your tone, which is just like my mother's... what's so indecent about a hug? Which of the anime you watch is more than that..."

After calming down from the sudden fright, Yuu Tenkuji obediently bowed her head and confessed to her sister, but she was still muttering something nonchalantly under her breath.

"You dare to argue back!"

With a glare, Kasugano Sora slammed her hand on the table and stared at him fiercely.

However, all bark and no bite. Being afraid of pain, she was certainly not foolish enough to put her delicate little hand against the hard glass tabletop. By the time it landed on the table, most of the force had been lost, and it didn't look threatening at all.

"Think about it yourself, if one day I brought a guy home and did the same thing as you, how would you react!"

Tenkuji Yu instantly suppressed all expression, his eyes flashing coldly, his hand slicing across his neck like a knife, his tone filled with murderous intent: "Of course, I'll kill that guy, and then take you far away."

With her small, adorable chest held high, Kasugano Sora raised an eyebrow triumphantly: "So?"

"You're right, I am a lewd and obscene guy, at your sister's mercy..."

Yuu Tenkuji covered her face, completely defeated.

Yukino patted him on the shoulder, understanding his appreciation for his sister's feelings, but that didn't stop her from teasing him with a playful look while comforting him.

Kasugano Sora turned her sharp gaze directly towards her.

"Is it my turn?"

Sensing the shift in the atmosphere, Yukinoshita Haruno calmly turned around, her smile gentle and mature, and an aura of older sisterly tolerance suddenly emanated from her, enveloping Kasugano Sora.

"Xiao Youyou always talks about his most important family members, and I'm almost sick of hearing about you... But after dating him for so long, is this the first time we've officially met?"

Her voice was cheerful and gentle, completely different from her previous manipulative and scheming demeanor. She tilted her head slightly and gave the silver-haired girl in front of her a bright and friendly smile.

"I'm your brother's girlfriend, Yukino Yukinoshita. It's nice to meet you!"

"His family is my family. If you need anything or anything, just let me know. Let's get along well from now on."

Like the sun descending, her majestic and imposing aura dispelled all pretense and shyness, and was presented to Kasugano Sora as a matter of course.

Even knowing that she was a sister who was obsessed with her brother, Yukinoshita Haruno remained calm and composed, approaching her with goodwill.

This attitude, however, was exactly what Kasugano Sora had expected, leaving her somewhat at a loss for what to do.

"you……"

Why is your reaction so completely different from others who get caught cheating? Can't you show more embarrassment or shyness like when meeting someone's parents?

He was internally screaming this, but in reality, he couldn't utter a single word.

Looking into the bright and sincere eyes of the female college student, Kasugano Sora gradually lowered her head.

For some reason, the resentment and dissatisfaction in my heart gradually melted away like snow under the sun.

She hesitated, not wanting to give in to the bad woman outside so easily—this situation was different from when Tuanzi was with the black-haired flat-chested girl. Although it wasn't as serious as the silver-haired perverted woman's situation, no matter what, someone was trying to take away her only family and build another family where she had no place.

Kasugano Sora was terrified by this.

Even knowing that she couldn't stop her brother from making the choices he wanted, nor could she ruin the happiness he desired, she still felt compelled to act.

Therefore, she can only throw tantrums within permitted limits and be a willful yet mature good younger sister.

"……Nice to meet you."

Taking a deep breath, Kasugano Sora spoke those words in a somewhat stiff and awkward tone.

Before Tenkuji Yu could show a relieved smile, she stared intently at Yukinoshita Haruno and continued in a distant and sharp tone, "But I'm sorry, I can't accept you for the time being, and I can't treat you as another family member."

"You must feel the same way, right? You talk so enthusiastically, but if you really wanted to get along with me, you wouldn't have put on such a clumsy act of framing me."

That youthful and adorable face now possessed a maturity and tranquility beyond its years.

Yukino raised an eyebrow in slight surprise, then propped her cheek up with one hand, casually swung her leg, and said to her with a friendly smile:

"Oh dear, is that what you're concerned about? Then let me apologize. I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything by it."

"What..." Kasugano Sora's eyes widened slightly.

“Even if it were my own sister, I would do it in front of her if the time and mood were right… and maybe even more outrageous.”

That's just how unlikable their personality is.

As if deeply examining herself, she sighed and shook her head before turning her serious gaze to Kasugano Sora, and said firmly:

"I understand. I will try my best to correct my bad side in the future, for your sake and for Xiaoyouyou's sake!"

Yuu Tenkuji couldn't help but retort, "What do you mean by 'somewhat malicious'? How can you say something like that?"

With a slap, Yukinoshita Haruno covered his mouth with a smile.

"You silly girl, why are you interrupting when girls are chatting? If you want to interrupt, go back to your room... Wait, never mind what I said, you can't make dirty jokes in front of your sister."

"It's too late already!"

"So, Xiao Qiong, please be patient... From now on, I will show you my sincerity!"

"Are you just going to pretend nothing happened?! That's the most insincere part, isn't it?"

"Tsk, Yuu-yu, you're so noisy! Are you trying to stop us from getting along? If so, I'll have to do everything I can to stop you from getting close to Yukino, okay?"

"Huh? I never even thought that! Besides, you were the one who made that lewd joke to her sister first. It's rare to see someone so shameless..."

"It's all acting! Actually, I was so embarrassed inside I was practically screaming and covering my head, waaaaah~"

"..."

Looking at the two people on the sofa in front of him, ignoring him, their smiles natural and their behavior intimate.

Kasugano Sora lowered her head slightly and fell into a brief silence.

Suddenly, she raised her gaze again and spoke to Tenkuji Yu in a subtle tone:

"Completely different from last time, if that wasn't acting..."

"Yu, have all your girlfriends regained their memories?"

These words stunned the two who were engrossed in their conversation, leaving them speechless with surprise.

They then turned their heads in unison, looking at the silver-haired girl with slightly furrowed brows with strange expressions, their voices still carrying a lingering sense of astonishment.

"Qiong, do you... still remember the last 'mission'?"

Chapter Eight: Confess and you'll be treated leniently; life imprisonment awaits; resistance and you'll be punished severely; go home for the New Year.

Seeing their utterly astonished expressions, Kasugano Sora blinked in confusion.

"Last mission?... Ah, did you also manage to complete the mission of finding a girlfriend while you were at the Christmas party with Tuanzi and the others yesterday? That's so sudden..."

"That's right, that's why we find it strange—"

Before she could finish speaking, Yuu Tenkuji felt her soft flesh around her waist being pinched tightly by fair and slender fingers, which then gave it a threatening half-turn.

At that moment, Yukino's face suddenly flashed through his mind.

I remember she had used the same method to intimidate him before, and he would always have to feign pain and beg for mercy before the second young lady would reluctantly let him go...

So, is this a skill that most girls possess, or is it the bloodline limit of the Yukinoshita family?

"Let me guess, right now you're thinking about my cute little sister who should have lost her memory, right in front of me?" Yukinoshita Haruno brought her face closer, her sweet voice sounding sinister in her ear.

Like a rooster being cornered with a machete, Tenkuji Yuuki craned his neck, cold sweat beading on his forehead, and said in a strained, low voice, "Don't use that mastermind-like excuse, it's not like you're the one who caused her amnesia..."

Yang ignored his complaints, and that bright smiling face continued to approach him, but he could vaguely see blue veins throbbing on her smooth forehead.

"Let me guess again~ Thinking about Christmas Eve, Yui-chan and Yukino, and the completion of the mission... Yu-yu, you didn't do anything indescribable to them yesterday, did you liberate Yukino sexually?"

"Wait, wait a minute, I think you have a huge misunderstanding about me..."

"What misunderstanding? Is it about Yukino having two cute moles on her chest?"

"Two? I didn't notice... Ha, you think I'd fall for your trick and say that on impulse?!"

"The intensity of your criticism also reveals your insecurity."

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch... Please be gentle, you can't turn it at that angle!"

Ignoring the two people wrestling on the sofa, Kasugano Sora stroked her chin and pursed her lips thoughtfully.

"Come to think of it, there's a setting where everyone else forgets things after completing a mission... Wait, why do I remember this time?"

Riding on top of Yuuki Tenkuji, pinching his cheeks, Yukinoshita Haruno temporarily stopped her torture and turned to her, saying, "Did you leave behind something important related to him? For example, I was combing my hair with the wooden comb that Yuuki gave me when suddenly a wave of sadness washed over me, and that's how I regained my memories."

Kasugano Sora frowned and tilted her head, trying to dig into her memories: "Yu gave me a lot of things... but none of them seem that important. And I don't feel like I've recovered my memories. I just haven't forgotten them. When I woke up this morning, I thought Yu had come back from the black-haired, flat-chested apartment in the middle of the night."

"Oh~" Yukinoshita Haruno exclaimed with sudden realization, then placed her hands on Tenkuji Yu's neck, assuming a very standard strangulation position. "So you're going to have a party at Yukino's apartment, huh? You had one last time and you want to have another one tonight. You really are a man who can't get enough of anything~"

Abruptly interrupting her train of thought, Kasugano Sora glanced at her with displeasure: "If you're going to talk, can't you get off him first?"

Yukinoshita blinked innocently: "Aren't you curious about what he did last night? I'm pressing him for details, and of course I'll share the information with you."

“I see…” Kasugano Sora nodded. “That makes sense. Then please continue.”

"Sora?!" Tenkuuji Yu's eyes widened in disbelief. "Why were you just watching from the sidelines? Did you really betray us?!"

To my utter surprise, my sister, whom I thought would be at odds with Yang Nai for a long time, has so quickly sided with her sister-in-law!

What were his previous worries all about? What changed the mind of the sister who loved her brother so much that she wanted to marry him before she even reached adulthood?

As Yuu Tenkuji thought with a face full of grief and indignation, he was once again grabbed by the neck by Haruno, and his face uncontrollably fell forward, burying itself completely in her full and warm bosom.

"Well, what do you say? Confess and you'll be treated leniently, resist and you'll be punished severely~ If you don't tell the truth, I'll suffocate you in my chest today, hehehe~"

Amid the female college student's wicked smile, Yuu Tenkuji struggled defiantly, her cheeks forced against the softness encased in the underwire.

Even so, he was not swayed by the face wash and completely abandoned his dignity and principles!

"Mmm! (Confess and you'll be treated leniently, life imprisonment is fined, resist and you'll be sent home for the New Year! I absolutely haven't done anything to wrong the world!)"

"Really? Then I'm going to start moving my waist?"

"Huh???"
