Don't you guys dislike me?

Yuichi raised his arms to block out the dazzling light and smiled bitterly:

"Do you think a scumbag like me wouldn't go to such great lengths to help others? Or do you think a scumbag like me doesn't deserve such a relationship?"

He couldn't figure it out, he really couldn't figure it out, and he could only come up with this explanation after racking his brains.

"How...why?"

Yuichi's words instantly forced Kasumigaoka Utaha out of her momentary happiness. She explained in the calmest voice possible:

"How can Yuichi be a scumbag? And I didn't compare you with Amamiya-san. It's just that you have been avoiding my questions recently. I thought you became like this because of Amamiya-san..."

The slightly cool little hand slid into the palm of the big hand as if trying to warm herself, but the big hand did not hold her.

"If you don't mess around with that kind of thing, I will explain it to you."

At this moment, a seemingly perfect idea popped up in Yuichi's mind, and he said half-truthfully:

"Sister, how about I move out?"

The little hand suddenly tightly grasped the big hand, and her smiling and unquestionable voice came to my ears:

"That's totally impossible."

"But I really can't stand this kind of intimacy without any limits when they are not in a relationship."

Hearing Yuichi's words with a hint of pleading, the girl raised her cherry lips slightly, and her body lying on her side depicted the ups and downs of beauty, and she leaned close to Yuichi's ear.

In a voice that only the two of them could hear, with a slight tremor that even she could sense, she asked:

"Then~would you like to try to become a couple?"

"I already told you, this joke isn't funny."

Kasumigaoka Utaha did not respond. The long silence made Youyi turn his head and find that she was looking at him without saying a word.

"Are you... serious?"

"I've always been serious."

Yuichi's eyes became complicated and even impatient again. Kasumigaoka Utaha knew that she needed a reason that Yuichi could not refuse to make him accept herself.

She had asked Yuichi to choose between her and Chizuru Amamiya many times before, but she didn't get the answer she wanted, so she didn't dare to express her true feelings.

But she also knew that if she continued like this, Youyi would never be able to accept her.

So she explained:

"Our last attempt to be just normal siblings failed, so why don't we change our mindset this time and try to be a couple!"

The girl was a little embarrassed and chose her words carefully:

"You did that to me. Even though you said you wanted to make it up to me, I still can't get rid of the grudge in my heart."

In fact, I have already forgiven you...

"I've been pestering you all the time. Seeing you embarrassed makes me feel more at ease. But bullying you like this doesn't seem to be a solution, so I've been wondering if there's any other way to change things."

I'm using this name to pester you and hide my feelings. When did you become like a little girl who is just beginning to fall in love?

"Yuichi, I have lived with my mother since I was a child. My father's inaction and bad deeds forced me to become mature and independent. When I see people around me dating, even though they say it's childish, I still have some yearning in my heart."

"I hope there is someone who can let me act like a spoiled child in his arms, allow me to be willful, and allow me not to pretend to be mature. Unfortunately, there has been no suitable person."

"Yuichi, I don't like you."

My favorite...

"But we can try to be a couple. You can be a competent boyfriend and let me act like a spoiled child and be willful. That way, it can ease our relationship and correct the impression of you in my mind. If you behave well, I might really fall in love with you~"

Hoshino Yuichi listened quietly to the girl's thoughts and felt it was a bit absurd and abrupt. Wasn't everything he did just to stay away from Kasumigaoka Utaha?

Why did it turn out like this? Being in a relationship with someone I don't like? Letting me be her boyfriend and act like a spoiled child? It's unbelievable no matter how I think about it, right?

Why did she say that? What was the root of their conflict? It was because Yuichi had taken away her precious things, and she wanted revenge.

Now she felt that she had been avoiding her all this time, and the punishment she had suffered was not enough...

So that's how it is... I have to refuse this, right? She must be trying to play with my feelings, but... simply avoiding it won't solve the problem.

By the way... She said this was just an attempt. As long as you fulfill your responsibilities as a boyfriend and treat her getting close to you and teasing you as a hypocritical joke, you will be fine.

This will improve their relationship and put an end to this bad relationship...

190. It’s not like you haven’t seen it

"What's your answer?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha's facial features are very delicate, and the Creator's undisguised preference for her is not afraid of jealousy, but she looks a little nervous at this moment, and her eyes are flickering.

"It sounds like a good plan."

Hoshino Yuichi sat up from the bed, followed closely by Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"so…?"

"Give it a try, but I have conditions."

Hearing this, the girl's tense body relaxed unconsciously, but perhaps because she saw that Youyi agreed reluctantly, she was not very happy.

"Tsk~ You have to make conditions for a relationship. You really don't understand romance."

"You said it was just an attempt. I'm making it up to you. We're easing the relationship. We're not really in love."

Yuichi said this seriously, but she didn't seem to care much.

"I know~"

Now that you've given her this opportunity, are you still afraid that you won't be able to defeat this coward?

Kasumigaoka Utaha has full confidence and is even eager to try.

"Tell me your conditions."

"Please put on your clothes before you make any demands."

Youyi pointed at her half-open bathrobe, which looked like a lychee stretched open by its plump flesh. The light falling on her crystal whiteness was a little dazzling.

"You still care about this now? It's not like you haven't seen it before~"

The girl tilted her head, her black hair falling down, half covering the dazzling scene. It felt like she was covered with a layer of intellectual crispy sugar coating, still delicious.

"We still need to be on guard."

Yuichi reached out to help her adjust her bathrobe, but her hand was held in mid-air and then pressed on the bed. She sat on Yuichi's legs, foreheads pressed against each other, and said something ambiguous:

"I say, Yuichi-kun, so-called lovers should let go of their guard against each other, break through the intimate distance, and have zero-distance or even negative-distance contact, do you understand?"

"Then at least proceed step by step. You just start by rubbing and hugging me. It feels like there is no emotion at all and it's just pure desire."

"We didn't have any feelings at the beginning."

She paused, chuckled and retorted, moving away from Yuichi's legs and loosening her hand.

"But I really didn't expect you to be so innocent as to start by holding hands."

Sounds good...

Kasumigaoka Utaha rested her face on her hand, her elbows on her crossed legs, the corners of her mouth rising constantly.

"If you're going to do it, you have to do the whole thing."

Yuichi said it naturally, so that he would have more chances to make amends.

"Should I start by confessing my feelings?" As she spoke, she couldn't help but feel excited.

Yuichi's confession...

"Confession? Forget about confession. It's better not to say such words against your will." Youyi rejected me without any hesitation, which made the girl's bright eyes dim, even though she had a teasing attitude from the beginning.

“That’s true…”

Yuichi looked down at her and said:

"Let's talk about the terms."

"Ah."

"Actually... they're not really conditions, they're just three rules."

"What do you mean?"

"After all, this is an attempt, and attempts are likely to fail. So in order for us to continue to live in peace as before after failure, we have to add a few layers of guarantees."

She couldn't find fault with Yuichi's words, but seeing that Yuichi had already prepared for failure, her tone fluctuated:

"Are you so unconfident?"

Yuichi ignored him and continued:

"First of all, we abide by our original agreement and don't meet each other in school. This way, we won't cause any unnecessary trouble because of your relationship, and we won't be embarrassed if our attempt fails."

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at him quietly without saying a word.

"Second, if either of us finds someone we really like during our tryout, our tryout must end."

"Is that all?"

She asked lightly.

"Ah? Well, that's all."

Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly stood up, startling Youyi.

She walked up to Yuichi, handcuffed Yuichi's shoulders with her two seemingly fragile hands, and her face was gloomy:

"Let's not talk about the requirements for dating me. I can understand the first one, that you abide by the previous agreement, but what does it mean that our relationship ends when you find someone you really like?"

"You're already planning on finding your next boyfriend before you even start dating? Don't you think that's ridiculous? Considering your first condition, it's like you're saying that the person you like is at school, and we can't show up at school or she will misunderstand us."

"Are you planning on dumping me as soon as you make progress with that person?!"

The long black hair fell beside Youyi's face, blocking out the light. The constant flow of fragrance made him a little breathless. The girl's charming eyebrows added a bit of strange color.

This is the first time I've seen a sister like this...

"Calm down! We are just trying. Sister is so popular. If you fall in love with a suitor one day, you might try to kick me out, right? I am just making a proposal in anticipation of this situation."

Hoshino Yuichi explained with a chuckle, and finally Kasumigaoka Utaha recovered from her strange state. Her eyes, which were filled with resentment, narrowed slightly.

Always thinking so much when it is unnecessary.

"If... I mean if, if I really kicked you away like you said, what would you do?" She lowered her head, her bangs half covering her timid eyes.

"What can I do? If our relationship hasn't eased by then, I can only leave in disgrace."

He smiled with relief.

"What if our relationship eases?" asked Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"Then I wish you the best." His smile remained unchanged.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was a little puzzled: "Since our relationship has eased, why is there no option to get me back?"

"It just eased the relationship and eliminated the grudge in your heart. It's not like you fell in love with me. What's the point of getting me back? No...if that really happens, can I get you back?"

Yuichi asked back softly, but Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't know how to answer. Her assumption was meaningless.

Yuichi's starting point has always been that she doesn't like him, so this answer is reasonable...

Kasumigaoka Utaha doesn't want to express her feelings directly. From now on, she will let Yuichi feel her feelings from her actions, and outline her appearance in Yuichi's blank mind bit by bit.

Let this coward run up to her and say that~

Kasumigaoka Utaha was fantasizing, and now she had to take the first step.

She opened her mouth, pondered for a moment, and looked a little hesitant.

After a while, she mustered up the courage to hug Youyi. The words about starting over from the beginning had long been forgotten. Their intimacy was already deep, so why should they start over from the beginning?

"Yuichi, I promise you that nothing like that will happen during the trial, so you also promise me not to think too much, okay?"

191. Are you really a couple?

Kasumigaoka Utaha was so desperate to prove her feelings that she no longer cared whether Yuichi's words were true. She was eager to create waves of pursuit on the calm lake of Yuichi's heart.
