"Don't worry, explain the situation clearly. The car that comes to pick you up won't be that fast."

"Grandma has a bad heart..."

Yumiko Miura was persuaded to come back by Jun Aragaki and repeated what her father said.

She looked at Aragaki Jun's thoughtful expression and suddenly wanted him to go with her so that her grandmother could see him too.

But Miura Yumiko thought again that something had happened to her grandmother and everyone in the family was very anxious and might say something bad to Aragaki Jun, so she gave up this plan.

What Aragaki Jun was considering at this time was whether to take out the "Disease-Free Soft Capsules" (blue) in the system backpack.

The system's products must be guaranteed, and anyone who eats it can be cured of all diseases.

However, Miura Yumiko's grandmother is old, and even if the disease is cured, her life span will be almost over.

Aragaki Jun thought about it and finally gave up the idea of ​​taking it out.

It's not that he was reluctant. If it was Miura Yumiko's parents or sisters who were sick, he would definitely not hesitate.

Aragaki Jun accompanied Miura Yumiko out of the gymnasium, watched her get on the bus at the school gate, and then walked back.

The afternoon classes have already started, and the stage play rehearsal in the physical education class has been temporarily disbanded and will continue after school.

Aragaki Jun returned to the classroom. Since Miura Yumiko was not there, he was not in the mood to listen to the class and slept until the bell rang.

After packing their commuter bags, Aragaki Jun and Kato Megumi walked towards the gymnasium together.

After Kato Megumi finished making the clothes with Yuigahama Yui, she did not play a role like her, but was responsible for the behind-the-scenes work.

Eriri's work on the original painting has also been completed, and she is now focusing on the feedback from the production of the props.

Since Miura Yumiko was not there, Aragaki Jun was finally able to say hello to a few girls and chat about the play.

For their small group that has been training together, responsibilities are the most important thing, and Yukinoshita Yukino has arranged it very well.

After school, students who were performing in the stage play gave up participating in clubs and walked into the gymnasium one after another.

Yukinoshita Yukino also arrived early. She greeted several acquaintances but ignored Aragaki Jun.

Kato Megumi looked between the two of them, then quietly moved closer to Aragaki Jun:

"Aragaki-san, aren't you going to apologize to Yukinoshita-san?"

"I told you, it's no use."

Aragaki Jun spread his hands helplessly. At this time, Yuigahama Yui came over and he greeted her with a smile.

When almost everyone was present, they stopped chatting and gathered in groups of three or four to start thinking about the performance.

Aragaki Jun and Yuigahama Yui are in the same group, still staying in a very corner position.

"Aragaki-san, don't you need to read the script?"

"I've memorized them all, you can check them."

Since Aragaki Jun said this, Yuigahama Yui naturally believed it and started the conversation from their encounter in the first scene.

Yuigahama Yui, who had no acting experience, was very nervous. Her expression was tense when she was speaking her lines and her whole body was shaking.

Aragaki Jun was not in a hurry to remind her, but slowed down and repeated each conversation several times.

The pace slowed down, and Yuigahama Yui's condition gradually relaxed and she was no longer so nervous.

Chapter 288 Intimacy in the Cold War

"Who are you and why are you in my yard!"

"My girlfriend is missing. She was walking home from this street last night."

"Then you should call the police instead of sneaking into someone's house!"

Yuigahama Yui finally got into the mood, and when she was reciting lines with Aragaki Jun, she used a performance tone.

Aragaki Jun's performance is better, he has already started trying to add actions.

As the plot progressed, Aragaki Jun spoke his lines while putting his arm on Yuigahama Yui's shoulders and pretending to hug her.

But before Aragaki Jun could make any further progress, Yukinoshita Yukino came over and interrupted their rehearsal:

"Yuigahama-san, do you know why Miura-san is absent?"

"I…"

Yuigahama Yui was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but turn her gaze to Aragaki Jun.

She had messaged Yumiko Miura during her afternoon class, so she naturally knew where she had gone.

But it was obvious that Jun Aragaki was more familiar with Yukinoshita Yukino, so why didn't she ask him?

Yes... Aragaki Jun won’t tell her?

Yuigahama Yui was confused about the situation and didn't know whether to reveal Miura Yumiko's information. Fortunately, Aragaki Jun leaned close to her ear and reminded her.

"Um... Yukinoshita-san, Yumiko's grandmother is sick, and she rushed to the hospital..."

"So when will she be back?"

Yukinoshita Yukino didn't expect this to happen, and she couldn't help but frown.

After hearing Yuigahama Yui say "I don't know", Yukinoshita Yukino felt even more upset:

"Yuigahama-san, please find some time to contact her. If she can't come on the day of the performance, be sure to let her know in advance."

"Ok."

Yuigahama Yui breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Yukinoshita Yukino stopped questioning her.

Just when she thought everything was over, Aragaki Jun suddenly spoke, causing the atmosphere to freeze in an instant.

"This is not a small matter in Yumiko's family. She may not be able to make it on the day of the performance."

"What do you mean?!"

Yukinoshita Yukino frowned, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that there was something wrong with what Aragaki Jun said.

What he meant was that it wasn't Miura Yumiko's fault that she delayed the performance that day!

"So many people gave up their studies and rest time to work together for the performance that day. She is more important than all of them combined. Is she more wronged?"

"I am just speaking the truth and not defending anyone."

Brigadier General Aragaki leaned against the wall and deliberately changed his tone:

"No one feels good when a loved one is sick. The key is how to solve the problem."

"How to solve it? Replace her as the heroine? She won't make trouble?"

"Right now, things haven't come to that point yet. It's not like she doesn't want to perform. As long as there's a plan."

"Okay, then tell me, she's taking the female lead's position, and she can't come that day, what should we do?"

"I suggest that we should prepare another female lead. If things go wrong, we can let someone else take over the role and it won't delay things."

Although Jun Aragaki's words seemed fair, Yukinoshita Yukino could be sure that he definitely had selfish motives.

"Aragaki-san, tell me who should be the backup."

"How's Kato-san?"

"She's not good at showing her emotions, and even if she puts a performance on you, it won't be very good."

"Where's Kasumigaoka-senpai? She's familiar with the script, right?"

"When she wrote the script, the female lead was written based on Miura-san, and her temperament was not suitable."

Yukinoshita Yukino would also take Eriri into consideration without Aragaki Jun reminding her.

But the problem is that Eriri firmly refused even to play a supporting role, let alone the female lead.

Her father, after all, was Britain’s ambassador to the island nation, and if she had any trouble on stage, it could have been a big deal.

"Neither can Sawamura-kun. You don't have to mention it."

"None of these work, is there any other choice?"

Aragaki Jun seemed helpless as he spread his hands, but in fact, his true intention was revealed:

"Yukinoshita-san, there is only one person who is familiar with the script and has good acting skills."

"What do you mean? You—"

Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly realized that when Aragaki Jun mentioned so many names, he was actually referring to her in the end!

Aragaki Jun let Yukinoshita Yukino stare at him, as if giving her the choice:

"Anyway, I've given you my opinion. If you don't think it's okay, then just find someone more suitable."

"You...I..."

Yukinoshita Yukino had reason to suspect that Aragaki Jun knew very well that Miura Yumiko would definitely be there on the day of the performance.

However, he deliberately threw out this difficult problem and asked her to practice with him now!

"..."

Yukinoshita Yukino gritted her teeth and thought about the matter again, feeling more and more that she had fallen into Aragaki Jun's trap.

But we always have to prepare for the worst, and there should be a female protagonist ready.

"Okay, I'll be the backup!"

"Yukinoshita-san, you are very righteous!"

Aragaki Jun gave Yukinoshita Yukino a thumbs up, but the smile on his face actually made the girl even angrier.

However, Aragaki was sure that Yukinoshita Yukino was serious about her work and would definitely not give up after taking on the position of stage play director.

So, Aragaki Jun, Yuigahama Yui, and Yukinoshita Yukino stood in a circle and began to practice the play.

The heroine written by Kasumigaoka Utaha is Miura Yumiko, so there are plots in the novel that deliberately show their relationship as lovers, which is a form of public sweetness.

High school students are all interested in love topics, so they will definitely like this plot.

Yumiko Miura also likes it, but Yukino Yukinoshita, who is the backup, just feels angry!

She had clearly broken up with Aragaki Jun, but at this time she had to say sweet words to him.
