Service Club? Just like you guys, you want to step into the whirlpool of the band?

It would have been more realistic if there were tears in the corners of her eyes, but unfortunately there weren't any.

Therefore, Yukinoshita Haruno's acting skills only fooled the somewhat naive Yuigahama Yui, while the other two had expressionless faces.

After all, both of them knew that Yukinoshita Haruno was pretending.

Really, who are you pretending for?

"So, how's your commission going?"

There was nothing she could do. Seeing that neither of them was willing to cooperate, she had to change the subject.

"There has been some progress, but it all depends on tomorrow."

"Do you need help from your sister~"

""

Yukinoshita Yukino didn't say anything because there was no need for her to talk.

To be honest, if there weren't two people following her at this moment, she would have left long ago at this time on a normal day. The only reason she stayed here was that she wanted to give Yukinoshita Haruno some face.

"Forget it, since Yukino-chan doesn't want me to stay here, I'd better leave."

There was nothing she could do. It was because she came at the wrong time. And she didn't know if it was an illusion, but she really felt that her lovely sister had changed a lot.

It's getting harder and harder to make fun of him.

"See you at the party later! Also, if you two are interested, you can stay and accompany Yukino. That way, Yukino won't feel lonely standing in the corner by herself."

Even so, she had no intention of letting Yukinoshita Yukino go.

"By the way, there will be lots of delicious food at the banquet! Let's go~"

At the end, it seemed as if she was really afraid that Yukinoshita Yukino would be angry and ignore her. In short, she ran very fast, as if she had something urgent to deal with.

""

Asaba Ichinose watched the entire bickering between the two sisters, and he had to say that he felt a little tired for Yukinoshita Yukino.

"Xiaoxue, do you need me to stay with you?"

Yuigahama Yui was not tired at all, but believed what Yukinoshita Haruno said seriously, thinking that if she left like this, Yukinoshita Yukino would be left alone here and feel a little lonely.

So she wanted to stay.

"Don't think too much about it. I just simply don't like the atmosphere at the party."

Yukinoshita Yukino was too embarrassed to tell Yuigahama Yui directly that she had been cheated, so she could only express it in this way.

"But I'm still alone! No, I have to fulfill my responsibilities as a friend at a time like this!"

However, Yuigahama Yui had no idea what Yukinoshita Yukino wanted to express.

"I definitely don't want to eat!"

Even after she finished speaking, she did not forget to emphasize this matter. After all, she was really considering Yukinoshita Yukino.

"Ok."

Seeing that Yuigahama Yui said this, Yukinoshita Yukino felt too embarrassed to say anything else and could only nod, repeating the word "friend" that Yuigahama Yui had just said in her mind.

The feeling of being treated as a friend by others... She couldn't quite put it into words, but overall it was pretty good.

For a moment, she couldn't help but recall the scenes of her interactions with Yuigahama Yui these days. From the time she first came to the Service Club to issue commissions, to now when she became a member of the Service Club, Yuigahama Yui has grown a lot, especially in her personality, which has been the most obvious.

"Just stay with me when the party starts."

After thinking so much, perhaps it was not until this moment that Yukinoshita Yukino truly accepted Yuigahama Yui and truly acknowledged her identity as a friend.

"Okay!" Yuigahama Yui smiled and nodded, not forgetting to glance at Ichinose Asaba beside her, "What about Xiaoyu, do you want to come with us?"

""

Yukinoshita Yukino didn't say anything, but still kept her gaze on Ichinose Asaba, with a questioning look in her eyes.

If Ichinose Asaba wanted to stay, she would definitely not refuse.

But based on her understanding of Ichinose Asaba, it would be a miracle if he agreed to something like this.

As expected, just as she thought, Ichinose Asaba shook her head after hearing this again, "No, I have other things to do when I get home."

Asaba Ichinose refused decisively. Not only did he have to go home to practice the piano, but he would not agree even if he didn't need it.

It is too troublesome for him to stay with a group of strangers and have to maintain various etiquettes all the time. It is not suitable for him.

"All right"

After all, she had already guessed that Ichinose Asaba would refuse, so the expression on Yukinoshita Yukino's face was relatively calm.

Although there is still a little bit of loss.

She didn't know where this feeling of loss came from. In short, it was very inexplicable.

"The party is about to begin. Do you remember the way to the locker room? If not, I can ask someone to take you there."

"It's okay, I've already remembered it, you two don't have to worry about me."

Ichinose Asaba shook her head and decided not to waste their time anymore.

Because, as he said, he already knew the whole way from the door to the locker room by heart.

"Then I'll go first."

However, just as he was about to leave, the voice of Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly came from beside him.

It's just... a little bumpy.

"Actually... the party will be over in two hours at most. If..." Halfway through her words, Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly sighed and said, "Forget it."

In fact, she originally wanted to say that if Ichinose Asaba could wait for two hours, she could find a driver to take him back after the banquet, including Yuigahama Yui.

But if I think about it carefully, if Ichinose Asaba leaves now, it won't even take two hours to get home. Waiting here is a pure waste of time.

So, she held back what she wanted to say.

"Thank you."

But what she didn't expect was that even if she didn't finish her words, Ichinose Asaba could actually understand what she wanted to express.

I even said thank you seriously.

This surprised Yukinoshita Yukino, and she said slowly, "It's okay."

In fact, Ichinose Asaba is not a fool. In this situation, how could he not know what Yukinoshita Yukino wanted to say.

Besides, he should say thank you. After all, the formal clothes he is wearing now were provided by the other party. But just a simple thank you... isn't it too perfunctory?

Forget it, I'll find some time to repay you later.

Ichinose Asaba thought so, then nodded to the two of them, turned around and left the spot, walking towards the locker room.

After all, some things don't need to be said too clearly.

Unconsciously, Ichinose Asaba had disappeared from her sight. Realizing it belatedly, Yukinoshita Yukino took a deep breath, then turned her head to look at Yuigahama Yui who was also staring into the distance in a daze, and said softly, "Let's go too. I'll have the driver take you home after the party."

"Although I can go back by myself, thank you Xiaoxue anyway!"

Yuigahama Yui slowly withdrew her gaze, and after meeting Yukinoshita Yukino's gaze, she scratched her head embarrassedly.

Well, after all, I'm going to trouble others.

"It's okay, let's go."

Of course, Yukinoshita Yukino didn't care about this. After all, after the banquet, as the host, the Yukinoshita family had the responsibility to send the guests back to their residence.

After a while, Yuigahama Yui followed Yukinoshita Yukino into the banquet hall.

Since the banquet was about to begin in less than ten minutes, there were quite a few people gathered in the venue.

But most of them are people from society, and there are really no high school students like them.

There is a college student, Yukinoshita Haruno, who is currently attending various social events in the venue.

Yukinoshita Yukino seemed to be accustomed to this, so she found the right time to take Yuigahama Yui to a quiet corner.

Here you won't be disturbed and you can still eat the food from the banquet.

There is also a floor-to-ceiling window next to it from which you can observe the night view outside. It can be said that the location is excellent.

But this is limited to high school students like her and Yuigahama Yui who are not interested in worldly affairs. After all, the others who came to this party also had their own purposes. They all came to make friends with other people in the industry, so it is naturally impossible for them to choose such a remote corner.

"You can eat whatever you want here, and don't worry about anyone noticing this place."

As if worried that Yuigahama Yui was too reserved to do anything, Yukinoshita Yukino took the lead in picking up a cookie from the table next to her and took a small bite, which was also a demonstration.

Sure enough, after seeing Yukino Yukinoshita eating, Yuigahama Yui also picked up a piece of chocolate and put it in her mouth.

After all, it was her first time attending such an occasion, so it was inevitable that she would be a little nervous.

However, as time went by, and with Yukinoshita Yukino chatting with her from time to time and answering some of her questions, Yuigahama Yui quickly returned to her usual self, looking left and right, and even took out her cell phone to take a photo with Yukinoshita Yukino.

At first, Yukinoshita Yukino was a little resistant, but she couldn't stand Yuigahama Yui looking at her pitifully, so she had no choice but to agree to take a photo.

As for the background, both of them politely chose the night view outside the floor-to-ceiling windows behind them and did not take pictures of the banquet hall, which was also considered to respect other people's personal privacy.

"Okay! Xiaoxue is so cute, why doesn't she like taking pictures?"

After taking the photo, Yuigahama Yui habitually enlarged the picture and prepared to use professional PS software to retouch the picture, but perhaps because the makeup artist was too powerful, Yuigahama Yui searched for a long time but couldn't find any point to retouch.

"I'm just not used to it."

Yukinoshita Yukino did not lie, because she really did not like taking pictures of herself.

Besides, even if I took a photo of her, there is no one to share it with, and as for the circle of friends, there is no need to think about it, because there is actually not a single update in it.

"Wait! Xiaoxue, look here!"

Suddenly, Yuigahama Yui's somewhat surprised voice was heard.

"what happened?"

Upon hearing this, Yukinoshita Yukino leaned over and saw the photo on Yuigahama Yui's phone that had been magnified countless times.

"Is there anything wrong with this photo?"

She looked around but couldn't find anything wrong with the photo.

"Not here!" Seeing that Yukinoshita Yukino was looking at the wrong place, she had no choice but to remind her, "Xiaoxue, look at the background, did we accidentally take a picture of Xiaoyu?"

"Ichinose?"

Yukinoshita Yukino frowned. How could this be filmed with Ichinose?

More than ten minutes have passed, and he hasn't left yet?

With this question in mind, she looked carefully at the place where Yuigahama Yui was pointing.

"It really is"

It's amazing, the person appearing in the background is actually Ichinose Asaba. Although the light outside is a little dim at this time, there is still light.

In addition, since Asaba Ichinose was wearing the Sobu High School uniform, she recognized it almost at first sight.

"Xiaoyu hasn't left yet...Xiaoxue, how about we go to the window and take a look?"

At this time, Yuigahama Yui looked at the floor-to-ceiling window and suggested.

"That's...okay."

Yukinoshita Yukino originally wanted to say "This is not a good thing", but seeing that Yuigahama Yui had already run to the window, she had no choice but to follow her.

Anyway, one more of her wouldn't make any difference, and she's free anyway, so she might as well go and see why Asaba Ichinose hasn't left for so long. Could it be that she encountered some difficulties?

For a moment, she actually cared about this matter a little. Even without Yuigahama Yui's reminder, she saw the figure of Ichinose Asaba the first time.

So

Is this a phone call?

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Ichinose Asaba who was standing under the street light downstairs with a puzzled look. That action...she could hardly think of any other possibility except that she was making a phone call.

The actual situation is

That's right, just as she thought, the reason why Ichinose Asaba didn't leave for so long was because he just went out and received a call from Ijichi Hoshika, saying that Fanxing would be officially open from the day after tomorrow, and asked him to take out all the drinks in the vending machines and replace them with new ones when he went there, and to clean the warehouse with Ijichi Hongka by the way.

The phone call lasted for a long time and has not ended yet.

Of course, the two of them definitely couldn't hear the content of these conversations, but... thanks to the wide field of vision, the two people on the third floor could see some places that Ichinose Asaba couldn't see.
