I have bound two systems.

"I underestimated you. You actually fascinated Touma Kazusa to this extent. She was still unwilling to let go even after knowing that you were having an affair with other girls... However, this situation probably won't last long. Her mother is a very powerful character. Sooner or later, she will find out about your specific situation. By then, you will probably have to separate from her daughter."

Suzumiya Chisato smiled and said nothing, just looking at her.

"No way……"

When Yukinoshita Haruno saw how relaxed he was, she thought of a certain possibility and her eyes widened unconsciously.

Suzumiya Chisato vaguely felt that the appearance shown by Yukinoshita Haruno at this moment seemed to be her true appearance.

"Ms. Touma Yoko, do you already know about the situation around you?"

"That's it."

Suzumiya Chisato nodded.

"Well, knowing all this, she still allowed you to continue dating her daughter?"

"That's right. To be honest, I'm quite flattered."

"..."

The smile on Yukinoshita Haruno's face slowly faded, and her eyes changed. She began to stare at him with eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything, confirming whether he was deceiving her and not wanting to miss any details.

After a moment, she determined the answer and suddenly laughed "giggle", as if she was extremely happy.

"You can even handle that Touma lady. You...are becoming more and more curious."

Such words confirm her nature as a person who enjoys fun.

She laughed for a long time, and finally stopped laughing. She stood up and walked over to sit down next to Chisato Suzumiya without any hesitation.

"Just to satisfy my curiosity, can you tell me how you managed to get Ms. Dongma under such circumstances? I will keep it a secret and I won't let you tell me in vain. In exchange for satisfying my curiosity, you can ask me a question or request right now. I won't refuse it. How about it?"

"not so good."

Suzumiya Chisato was not at all interested in her proposal. Moreover, from the perspective of modern science, it was hard to be convincing that he saved Touma Yoko. In order not to cause trouble for himself, he had already decided to bury the matter deep in his heart. Except for the doctor and Kazusa who already knew about it, he would never mention it to anyone else.

"mean!"

Yukinoshita Haruno poked Suzumiya Chisato with her elbow, then sighed again, holding her chin with her left hand and shaking her head from side to side.

"But, Suzumiya-kun, it's really boring to just sit there like this. If you don't find something to do, don't you think the time will be hard to bear?"

Suzumiya Chisato looked up at the ceiling in the elevator and slowly gave her advice.

“You can play with your phone.”

"Whether it's games or short videos, I'm not interested in those."

"Then just lean against the wall and take a nap. Miss Yukinoshita, you've drunk some wine, so I'm sure you'll fall asleep easily."

"No, I'm a terrible sleeper. What if you see me and I get embarrassed?"

"..."

This is what I'm worried about.

The corner of Suzumiya Chisato's eye twitched slightly.

"As a boy, isn't it time for you to play your part? Hurry up and use your superb skills in making girls happy to find something to do or a topic to liven up the atmosphere."

Yukinoshita Haruno grabbed Chisato Suzumiya's sleeve and tugged at it without any hesitation.

"...Don't embarrass me. I'm not a professional gigolo. I'm just an ordinary high school student that you can find everywhere."

"You are too modest. How can an ordinary high school student easily deal with the decisive Touma Yoko?"

"..."

As expected, you are still curious about your own affairs.

When Suzumiya Chisato heard this, he sighed inwardly. He had not intended to do this at first, but now in order to divert Yukinoshita Haruno's attention to other places, he had to do it and scare her in a more subtle way.

"Don't worry about what happened between me and Miss Touma for now. I have a friend whose experience is quite interesting. I didn't think of it just now, but it's a good choice to tell it now to kill time."

"Oh?"

Yukinoshita Haruno became slightly interested, and a relaxed smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, pretending to listen attentively.

Suzumiya Chisato added,

"It's a matter of privacy, so I won't go into details about her name or other details. I'll just give you a rough outline."

"Well, that's natural."

"My friend's situation is very similar to Ms. Yukinoshita's. She has a younger sister and was born into a relatively wealthy family."

"As for this opening, it seems a bit unremarkable. There are countless family composition templates like this in Neon."

"Maybe that's the case, but please listen patiently, the interesting things are coming later."

"Yeah, okay."

"My friend's family situation is a little complicated. It seems that the father works outside the home and is in charge of the family, but in fact, the mother is the core of the family because her mother's family is quite powerful. Her husband is also a son-in-law, and his job was arranged for him by his family."

There was no change in expression on Suzumiya Chisato's face.

When Yukinoshita Yukino heard this, the expression on her face became inexplicably solemn, and the smile on the corner of her mouth disappeared.

But she still chose to continue listening.

"Really? Her father must have had a hard time. Living under someone else's roof must have been undignified and difficult."

"It's not that serious. I heard from my friend that her family is very loving. It's just that sometimes, her actions don't make me understand."

"Oh?"

"For example, she often seems to be quite indifferent to her sister on many occasions, which is completely inconsistent with what she said."

"She probably just simply doesn't like her sister."

"I thought so at first, but then I gradually realized that it wasn't the case. My friend didn't dislike her sister. On the contrary, she loved her sister too much. To some extent, she was a complete sister-con. Therefore, some of her overly caring behaviors turned into actions that seemed to hate her in the eyes of outsiders."

"Could this idea be your own subconscious subjective guess?"

"I don't think so. I am relatively confident in my observation skills. Besides, these ideas of mine are not just guesses out of thin air, but accurate inferences based on some actual situations."

Yukinoshita Haruno narrowed her eyes.

"It's still a guess after all."

She looked less approachable than before and gave people a very stern and dangerous feeling.

But things have come to this point, even if it is for the purpose of making her behave better when she sees him next time, Suzumiya Chisato has no reason to stop now.

"Whether it's a guess or not is not important. My original purpose was just to say something to pass the time. If you don't want to listen, Ms. Yukinoshita, we can change the subject."

Such a proposal was naturally rejected.

"No, you have to finish what you start. You haven't told me what's so interesting about your friend yet."

"The interesting part is her attitude towards her own life, and her arrogant and awkward way of caring for her sister."

"Oh, what do you say?"

"My friend has received elite education from her family since she was young. It is natural that she will take over the family's various businesses and industries in the future. However, as she grows older, her innocence and childishness gradually fade away. She can already foresee what her future will be like, but she does not like this kind of life. However, out of her sense of responsibility for the family and her love for her sister, she chose to compromise and continued to work hard according to the track laid out by her mother without distraction."

"Wait, what does this have to do with my sister?"

"If my friend inherits the family business, her sister will be able to pursue the life she wants without any worries."

"Oh?"

Yukinoshita Haruno gave her evaluation with a cold face.

"This is just a documentary story about a person who is powerless to escape his fate and is discouraged and no longer willing to compromise. There is no novelty or twists and turns. I don't think it's interesting at all."

"Then I will skip the topic of her attitude towards her life and focus on how she gets along with her sister."

Chisato Suzumiya adjusted his sitting position. He did not continue speaking, but instead asked a question.

"Generally speaking, if Ms. Yukinoshita's sister were in trouble, what would you do?"

"Do I even need to ask? Of course I would run to help her first, because she is my biological sister. If the elder sister doesn't care about her, who else can care about her?"

Yukinoshita Haruno's answer while stretching lazily made Suzumiya Chisato smile slightly.

She also observed this behavior and asked with interest,

"why are you laughing?"

"Excuse me, I suddenly thought of something funny... Let's not talk about this, let's continue. For the same question, my friend and Ms. Yukinoshita made completely different choices."

"Why is it different?"

"I mentioned before that her personality is both awkward and arrogant. Although she is very worried about her sister who is in trouble, for some reason, she can't frankly step forward to lend a helping hand."

Suzumiya Chisato extended her index finger.

"For example, the time when her sister was in elementary school."

"..."

"Her sister was bullied by other students because of her personality. The situation was quite serious. She was very worried at the time, but she did not lend a helping hand immediately. Instead, she waited and watched for a while, and then she begged a younger boy in the same grade as her sister, hoping that he could help her sister out of the quagmire. But the result was not satisfactory. In the end, her mother found the school and solved the matter in an adult way."

"..."

"Although my friend didn't directly explain why she didn't help her sister right away, I guess she must have thought about it a lot. She probably thought that she wouldn't be able to stay by her sister's side forever in the future, so she wanted her sister to try to solve the problems she encountered by herself, so that her sister could face reality and get rid of her dependence on her."

"……call."

This time, Yukinoshita Haruno finally made a sound, but it was a deep exhalation.

She spoke coldly,

"What else do you know."

Suzumiya Chisato pretended not to understand what she said and continued,

"That's a lot. My friend and I can talk about almost anything. She also told me about the education policy she received from her mother since she was a child. It sounds quite inhumane. That is to find an opponent and then constantly surpass him. To be honest, if I grew up in such a high-pressure environment, I would probably give up long ago. But my friend was able to persist and grew up to be an extremely outstanding and independent woman. From this point of view, I really have to admire her. She is really amazing."

Yukinoshita Haruno suddenly reached out and held Suzumiya Chisato's collar tightly with an expressionless face. She was completely different from her previous relaxed and cheerful image, and her voice was as cold as winter.

"You know so much, but I don't remember ever telling you about this."

Suzumiya Chisato looked at her fearlessly and slowly grasped her wrist.

"Ms. Yukinoshita, you seem to have misunderstood something. I made it clear at the beginning that what I just said happened to a friend of mine. Although her situation is similar to yours, please don't take it for granted."

"That's really strange. How could there be two people so similar in the world? It's as if my life was completely copied from hers."

Suzumiya Chisato was helpless about this.

"The world is so big that no matter how similar the situations are, I don't find them strange at all."

"Then, your friend's name..."

"It's a matter of privacy, no comment."

"..."

Yukinoshita Haruno stared at Suzumiya Chisato for a long time, but she couldn't see anything. Suddenly, her aura dropped. She immediately curled her lips and made a tearful expression.

"it hurts……"

"???"

"I've already told you, Suzumiya-kun, you pinched my wrist so hard it hurts!"

"Ah, sorry."

Suzumiya Chisato quickly let go of her hand, and Yukinoshita Haruno brought her hand in front of her to look at it carefully. There was already a circle of red marks on her slender wrist.

She became even more dissatisfied, complaining with a hint of grievance,

"Really? Generally speaking, do you need to use so much force on a pretty girl?"

Chisato Suzumiya adjusted her collar.

"Other people may look down on or tolerate girls, but I am different. I truly believe in gender equality. Even if it is a woman, I will be fully prepared to deal with her. Moreover, Ms. Yukinoshita, you have practiced Aikido, and you just showed such a terrifying expression, as if you were going to stop me from breathing the next moment. There is no way I would not be on guard against that."

This makes a lot of sense and is totally irrefutable.

So Yukinoshita Haruno stopped dwelling on this matter and asked a new question that made Suzumiya Chisato's face suddenly change.

"Hey, Suzumiya-kun, what do you think of me?"

"what?"
