Yukinoshita's Correction Method

Especially in the workplace where long-term relationships need to be maintained, it can effectively reduce open confrontation, maintain superficial harmony, and avoid minor frictions that affect the overall cooperative atmosphere.

But as time went on, the problem became more and more obvious.

Many people have the idea of ​​maintaining harmony, but not everyone has the ability to do so.

After seeing people who can truly solve problems and resolve conflicts, Dong Yunshan no longer has much respect for peacemakers who only pursue superficial harmony, allowing conflicts to be shelved in compromises and gradually accumulate into deeper hidden dangers.

Especially after he mastered some problem-solving methods.

According to Yukinoshita Yukino, rather than pursuing the truth, Azuma Yunshan wants to find a solution that requires no effort and avoids conflict.

The purpose is to solve.

But...Hayama Hayato's goal is to avoid conflict.

Taking the previous tennis incident as an example, Yumiko Miura and Yukino Yukinoshita had a conflict and wanted to use a game of tennis to decide the winner.

What Hayato Hayama meant was that it was enough to just play a few beats for fun, that was enough.

This is to ease the atmosphere and avoid conflict.

The problem is that Yumiko Miura plays for the purpose of deciding the winner.

If it was just for fun, why would she play with Yukinoshita Yukino, whom she disliked?

She started just to decide the winner, so how could she stop before the winner was decided?

Dong Yunshan's plan was that since the fight had already started, he would fight to the point of having fun and forget about winning or losing.

How to make Yumiko Miura happy?

Just let Hayato Hayama become her teammate.

After all, these two are together in the classroom every day, and they must also want to fight side by side on the court under the watchful eyes of many classmates.

It's the same situation now.

"I want to stop these letters from being passed around. After all, they're really unpleasant to read."

"However, I don't want to find the culprit. I just want to find a proper solution."

Hayato Hayama's idea was to stop the chain mail without finding the culprit.

The culprit is most likely a classmate. If he is found, it will affect the atmosphere in the class and may even make it worse than it is now.

Dong Yunshan believes that it is not necessary to find the culprit, but it is necessary to find out the reason why such emails appear in order to avoid similar situations in the future.

But Yukinoshita Yukino...

"Then," Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes were cold, "all we have to do is find the culprit."

I knew it would turn out like this... Dong Yunshan sighed softly.

"Then I'll trouble you guys...eh?" Hayato Hayama suddenly realized, looking stunned. "Wait a minute, why did it become like this?"

"To put it simply..." Azuma Yunshan tilted his head to look at Yukinoshita Yukino, "I just don't want the criminal to go unpunished."

"Chain letters trample on human dignity and are the worst kind of behavior. The writers remain anonymous and undisclosed, resorting to utmost slander and defamation simply to hurt others. As for those who spread the malicious intent, while not necessarily motivated by malice, they are equally despicable. They may be motivated by curiosity or momentary goodwill, but they allow the malice to spread... If we want to stop this behavior, we must root it out." Yukinoshita Yukino folded her arms across her chest, her face grim. "The above information comes from me."

Yuigahama Yui was originally startled by the serious Yukinoshita Yukino, but after hearing the last sentence, a complex emotion immediately emerged in her eyes: "Xiao Yukino..."

"Really? Is it fun to spread insulting messages everywhere?" Yukinoshita Yukino's voice was cold. "I don't think that would do any good to Sagawa and Shimoda-san... Please don't..."

Yukinoshita Yukino had just said half of her words when Yuigahama Yui hugged her lovingly.

This girl always pounces on people when she hugs them. Yukinoshita Yukino is afraid that she will fall, so she doesn't dare to dodge.

He couldn't support her, so he could only let her cling to him.

The gloom on Yukinoshita Yukino's face disappeared, replaced by helplessness.

When will I be able to support Yuigahama Yui as easily as Azuma Yunshan supported me?

According to Yukinoshita Yukino's idea, all you have to do is work hard.

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. As long as she pounces on Dongyun more...

Hikigaya Komachi's smile was a little stiff: "So you found the culprit..."

Hayato Hayama's expression was surprised for a moment, and then his eyes fixed on Azuma Yunshan, as if he was thinking about something and feeling a little lonely.

Dong Yunshan raised an eyebrow: "So, what are you going to do?"

"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, blood for blood." Yukinoshita Yukino took great effort to calm Yuigahama Yui down. "Find the person who did this nonsense, give him a warning so he won't do it again. As for the follow-up treatment... leave it to the victim."

"Then..." Dong Yunshan turned to ask Hayato Hayama, "Can you accept this way of handling things?"

"...Yeah." Hayato Hayama nodded with difficulty. "Since I'm here, it means I can't solve it alone, so I'll listen to you."

"Now the only clue is these emails..." Hikigaya Komachi recalled, "Speaking of which, when did these emails start appearing?"

"I remember it was last weekend." Hayato Hayama confirmed with Yuigahama Yui, "Right, Yui?"

Yuigahama Yui looked through the records: "I received it a little late, but it was also during those days."

Yukinoshita Yukino put her finger to her chin: "Did anything happen last weekend?"

Hayato Hayama shook his head: "I don't remember anything special."

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Yuigahama Yui.

Yuigahama Yui tilted her head and recalled: "Hmm...just like usual."

Yukinoshita Yukino's gaze turned to Azuma Yunshan, paused for a moment, and then looked away.

"Look back at me." Azuma Yunshan noticed that Yukinoshita Yukino's gaze stayed on him for significantly less time than it did on Yuigahama Yui. "You're just judging me as not knowing, right?"

"Then what do you know?"

"Last week..." Azuma Yunshan pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Hikigaya Komachi, "Did anything special happen last week?"

Yukinoshita Yukino: "..."

"If there was anything, it was about job internships," Hikigaya Komachi recalled. "Because we had to form our own groups for job internships, everyone had a lively discussion."

"Oh, that's right!" Yuigahama Yui suddenly realized, "It's because of the grouping."

"Hmm?" Yukinoshita Yukino gave him a puzzled look.

"Ah~ Every time there's an activity that requires grouping, it affects everyone's future relationships. After all, if you're grouped together, you'll have common topics for a long time." Yuigahama Yui lowered her eyes slightly, "If the people who want to be together find someone else to group with, it's inevitable that there will be some... For example, this time we're in a group of three. If we usually go together as four, the remaining person will feel excluded..."

Hikigaya Komachi narrowed her eyes slightly. "Hayama-san, you just said these emails were addressed to your friends, so... have you decided on your team members?"

Is Hikigaya-san's gaze really that sharp? Hayato Hayama feels strangely as if he's been seen through.

"I haven't decided yet," Hayato Hayama put away the inexplicable thought that popped up in his mind, "but I should choose between the three of them."

Yuigahama Yui sighed: "So only one of the four people will be excluded..."

If you want to avoid being excluded, you need to exclude others first.

Yukinoshita Yukino murmured: "Is the criminal among these three?"

"Wait, wait a minute!" Hayato Hayama panicked in a rare moment. "I don't think there's a criminal among them, and those letters cursed all three of them—so, there must be some mistake, right?"

"If you want to throw dirty water on others without getting caught, you have to throw some on yourself first." Dong Yunshan pointed out the key, "This is a very basic skill."

"Huh?" Yuigahama Yui's eyes widened. "Is this the basics?"

Dong Yunshan blinked his eyes and said, "Throwing dirty water on yourself is risky. It's better to praise the other person."

"Anyway," Yukinoshita Yukino took out a pen and paper, "Let me first talk about the situation of these three people."

Hayato Hayama's eyes were firm, as if he was defending his friend. "Tobe is in the soccer club just like me. Because he has dyed blond hair, he looks a bit like a delinquent at first glance. But he's the one who's always been great at livening up the atmosphere. He volunteered a lot to help out during the school anniversary and the sports day. He's a really nice guy."

Yukinoshita Yukino took note: "Besides being noisy, you have no other skills. You get carried away easily, right?"

Yuigahama Yui: “Ah…”

"Hubu is a very energetic person. As long as he's around, there's no need to worry about awkward silences," Dong Yunshan said sincerely. "Although some people say he's too attentive, I think that's just a prejudice against his delinquent image after dyeing his hair. As a member of the football club, helping others is a good quality. Even if he's slightly delayed in training, it's definitely not a case of being unemployed."

Yuigahama Yui: “Huh?”

Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at Azuma Yunshan.

Hayato Hayama coughed lightly. "Yamato is a member of the rugby club. He's a calm person and a good listener. His calm and composed demeanor is very reassuring. He's a quiet guy and cautious, but he's a nice guy."

"Slow to react," Yukinoshita Yukino nodded, "indecisive."

Yuigahama Yui: “Ah…”

"Yamato is a steady and reliable person who prefers to listen rather than talk," said Dong Yunshan earnestly. "As for the accusations of being slow to react and indecisive, it's simply because he's exceptionally calm and cautious, at least during rugby games."

Yuigahama Yui: “Huh?”

Yukinoshita Yukino glared at Azuma Yunshan.

Hayato Hayama's forehead was covered in sweat. "Ooka is from the baseball club. He's very friendly and willing to work with others. He also values ​​relationships with superiors and subordinates and is very polite. He's a nice guy."

Yukinoshita Yukino concluded: "He's a fence-sitter, isn't he?"

Yuigahama Yui looked directly at Azuma Spruce.

"Ooka's courtesy to superiors and warmth to subordinates are both rare qualities," Dong Yunshan sighed. "It's hard to imagine why some people would say he doesn't have his own opinions. He's simply better able to understand and empathize with others' perspectives and fight alongside them."

Yukinoshita Yukino stared at Azuma Yunshan.

"You were clearly praising someone..." Yuigahama Yui's eyes were dull, "Why do you feel like you're even more exaggerated than Yukino-chan?"

"Hmm?" Yukinoshita Yukino looked at what she had written down. "Did I say too much?"

Yuigahama Yui: “…”

Hayato Hayama was dejected: "I don't think they would do such a thing."

"After all, your observations and evaluations are superficial, so they're of little use." Yukinoshita Yukino tapped her notebook with the tip of her pen. "It seems further investigation is needed. As for the boys... Yunshan?"

"Me?" Dong Yunshan raised an eyebrow. "I was thinking of checking outside the school."

"Then leave the school to me!" Yuigahama Yui raised her hand, "I can ask the girls."

"I can help too." Hikigaya Komachi said, "If more people keep an eye on it, we can gain more."

-

The next day during lunch break, after Azuma Yunshan left, Yuigahama Yui began her investigation.

As for the method...

"Sorry for the long wait~" Yuigahama Yui approached the small group of girls headed by Miura Yumiko as usual.

"Yui, you're so slow~" Miura Yumiko responded lazily.

"By the way, Tobe, Ooka, and Yamato seem to be acting strangely lately." Yuigahama Yui lowered her voice, "Don't you think there's something wrong?"

“…” Hikigaya Komachi, who was listening, was stunned.

This is too straightforward.

At least say a few words to lay the groundwork.

"Huh?" Ebina Hina looked at Yuigahama Yui in confusion, "I don't remember you being the kind of person who would say something like that..."

"Hey, Yui, this isn't a good idea, is it?" Miura Yumiko raised her eyes. "Talking about your friends isn't a good thing."

Volume 6: Chapter 204 Investigation Results

"No... no!" Yuigahama Yui waved her hands hurriedly, "How should I put it... I'm just a little curious."

"Curious?" Miura Yumiko was stunned for a moment, then immediately became excited. "Could it be that there's someone among them you like?"

"No!" Yuigahama Yui was even more flustered. "What I'm concerned about is the relationship between them...the three of them! I really think they've been acting a little weird lately."

"What is this?" Miura Yumiko's interest disappeared completely, and she took out her phone to play with it. "Are you talking about that? It's so boring."

Failed... Yuigahama Yui looked dejectedly towards Hikigaya Komachi.

But she was turned back by Ebina Hime.

"I understand... So Yui thinks the same thing..." Ebina Hina breathed heavily, and her glasses were covered with a strange white mist. "In fact, I think the same thing..."

"That's right!" Yuigahama Yui's eyes lit up, "You also think the atmosphere between them is very awkward recently, right?"
