Yukinoshita's Correction Method

"If he starts dating," Yukinoshita Yukino flipped the pages of the book, "it means my correction method is working."

Hikigaya Komachi looked at the calm Yukinoshita Yukino with suspicion, and gradually realized something, "Could it be... that you know what's going on?"

"It seems that you won't start learning unless I explain it clearly." Yukinoshita Yukino sighed, "Shinobu has other things outside..."

Yuigahama Yui replied in astonishment: "...woman?"

"Activities." Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at Yuigahama Yui, "People who need help can find him and he will provide help."

"Yorushiya." Hikigaya Komachi suddenly realized, "So the woman next to him is his client?"

"Ah!" Yuigahama Yui exclaimed softly, "A rental boyfriend?"

"That makes sense." Hikigaya Komachi nodded. "It seems that what Shinonome mentioned before was about pretending to be that woman's boyfriend for a day."

"Can we start studying now?" Yukinoshita Yukino tapped the table lightly, signaling the two not to forget the main purpose of today.

"Wait!" Yuigahama Yui's eyes suddenly became sharp, "Something's going on!"

"It's a serious situation!" Hikigaya Komachi echoed.

Yukinoshita Yukino thought something had happened and looked in the direction of Higashiyama Yunshan, "What's wrong?"

It was obvious that Dong Yunshan was just talking to that woman.

"Didn't you notice?" Yuigahama Yui said indignantly, "That woman was talking with a spoon in her hand!"

Yukinoshita Yukino: "...So?"

"The normal way to hold a spoon is like this." Yuigahama Yui picked up the spoon and demonstrated the action of eating. The way she held the spoon was similar to holding a pen. "And then she did this."

Holding the spoon handle with her four bent fingers, Yuigahama Yui held the spoon upright just below her lips, "You're definitely trying to be cute!"

"I was talking to you so seriously that I even forgot to put down the spoon—that's what I wanted to convey," Hikigaya Komachi explained. "And the texture of the spoon can really highlight the fairness of your skin."

Yukinoshita Yukino: “?”

"Your hair is loose." Yuigahama Yui stared at the woman as if she were an enemy, "and you even have your clothes draped over your shoulders."

"It's actually a combo?" Hikigaya Komachi gritted her teeth, "This woman is no ordinary woman!"

Yukinoshita Yukino held her forehead: "...I should focus on studying logic."

"Because it can easily slip off, putting on a coat can help restrict your movements and improve your posture," Yuigahama Yui explained clearly. "And when she's halfway through the meal, she can take off the coat, and her image will instantly change dramatically. It'll be refreshing. I bet she's wearing sleeveless clothes underneath, with her shoulders exposed!"

"The same process applies to your hair." Hikigaya Komachi seemed to see through the woman's thoughts. "To prevent loose hair from getting on the food, you need to lift it to the side. This will immediately attract the attention of those around you. When you're almost done eating, you can tie your hair up, which is another change of image."

"...If you had put even a little of your energy into studying, you wouldn't have to worry about the final exams." Yukinoshita Yukino sighed, "Just assume everything you said is true. What does this have to do with you being here to study?"

"Don't you understand yet, Yukino-chan?" Yuigahama Yui said anxiously, "Shionomune might have had dinner with that woman just to complete the commission, but that woman definitely has more on her mind than that!"

"This is a common plot in TV dramas," Hikigaya Komachi said with a worried look on her face. "First they pretend to be together, then it becomes real!"

"She showed her phone to Dongyun!" Yuigahama Yui discovered something new. "This is definitely one of those tricks where she shows the scenery she took and then pretends to accidentally find her private photos!"

Hikigaya Komachi bit her lower lip lightly.

Oops.

East Spruce is about to be taken down!

Volume 3 Spring Break: Chapter 53: Peacock Spreads Its Tail

"Xue-no-chan!" Yuigahama Yui tugged at the corner of Yukinoshita Yukino's clothes, "Hurry up and think of a solution."

"What idea?" Yukinoshita Yukino asked expressionlessly.

Yuigahama Yui picked up the empty cup and pretended to drink, her eyes always focused on the direction of Dong Yunshan, "How to prevent Dong Yun from being deceived by a bad woman!"

Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at Azumanosaki's expression and said, "That was just your guess. Let's not talk about whether that woman has such thoughts. Even if she does, it will have no effect on Azumanosaki."

"She definitely has an idea." Hikigaya Komachi narrowed her eyes slightly. "That woman started puffing up her cheeks while drinking the drink. She's definitely trying to be cute."

As she spoke, she picked up her drink and drank it through a straw.

Puffy cheeks.

Yukinoshita Yukino reminded: "Do you want to look in the mirror?"

"Hmm? I..." Hikigaya Komachi's chubby cheeks returned to normal, "I was just thinking~"

"She might be thinking." Yukinoshita Yukino put the math book aside and began to write down the words. "Pay attention to Shinonome's expression. He won't be fooled that easily."

"Hmm?" Hikigaya Komachi observed carefully. "Shinobu looks so happy. Hasn't he been fooled?"

"No..." Yuigahama Yui noticed something was wrong, "This expression..."

Yukinoshita Yukino followed up on her words: "Looks very familiar."

"That's right." Yuigahama Yui tilted her head and searched her memory, "When have I seen it before..."

"When you first came to the Service Club," Yukinoshita Yukino reminded, "he had that same expression."

"A gloating anticipation?" Yuigahama Yui recalled Azuma Yunshan's overly enthusiastic reaction at that time.

That expression is like saying...

What's up with you? Tell me and I'll be happy.

"There's a new situation!" Hikigaya Komachi pulled Yuigahama Yui to hide to avoid being discovered by Azuma Yunshan who stood up.

Yukinoshita Yukino had no intention of dodging at all. She turned her eyes and saw what Hikigaya Komachi was talking about.

Another man and woman arrived and sat in front of Dong Yunshan and the woman.

After a few brief greetings, the woman introduced Dong Yunshan to the two people who came later.

After the four of them sat down, they did the same as the other diners around them, ordering some snacks and chatting.

"So that's how it is." Seeing the two people who came later raise their hands to show the back of their hands, Yuigahama Yui understood, "Those two women must be good friends. Then the woman who came later got engaged, so she thought of inviting her good friend to dinner to introduce them. The woman next to Dongyun is still single, so to avoid embarrassment, she asked Dongyun to pretend to be her boyfriend."

A classic scene from a TV series.

But most of them are just to please parents. It is quite rare to rent a boyfriend just to please good friends.

"Even if I'm still single and it's a bit awkward, there's no need to rent a boyfriend to deal with my friends..." Yuigahama Yui was a little confused. "If they're not good friends, there's no need to deal with them. If they are good friends, they'll be discovered soon."

"What if it's the other way around?" Hikigaya Komachi offered a new idea. "Originally, I just wanted to rent a boyfriend and experience what it's like to have one for a day. But after meeting him, I wanted to make it real, so I asked an engaged friend to help me."

There is a happy couple in front of me, with a beautiful woman beside them.

It is natural to feel impulses in your heart.

Many times, all that is lacking is this little impulse.

Yuigahama Yui was indignant: "That's too much. Dongyun wanted to help, but he was plotted against like this."

"Let me remind you again, your guesses may not be true." Yukinoshita Yukino tapped the notebook with the tip of her pen, her expression serious, "Also, we are here to study."

"Okay, okay." Yuigahama Yui immediately started flipping through the book.

"Shinomo shouldn't be fooled so easily..." Hikigaya Komachi saw the steps to solve the problem written by Yukinoshita Yukino and thanked her repeatedly. After reading it herself, she asked Yukinoshita Yukino for some parts that she didn't understand.

The three people who participated in the reading club finally started reading together.

Read for a while.

"It's started." Yuigahama Yui lowered her voice.

Hikigaya Komachi took a furtive look.

Sure enough, the woman next to Dong Yunshan put the coat draped over her shoulders on the back of the chair.

Revealing the close-fitting sleeveless inner wear, the white shoulders are generously exposed.

Yuigahama Yui and Hikigaya Komachi exchanged a glance, revealing an expression of "as expected."

"I hope Shinonome won't be fooled..." Seeing the woman start to tie her hair, Yuigahama Yui became a little worried.

"His reaction is pretty cold," Hikigaya Komachi said, glancing in Higashiunon's direction. "So far, there's been no response. Not only is there no reaction from a boyfriend, but even by the standards of ordinary friends, it's cold."

Yukinoshita Yukino: "Hmm?"

"Read, read!" Yuigahama Yui lowered her head and flipped through the book. "This question is quite interesting."

"It's bad," Hikigaya Komachi lowered her voice, "Shinobumo reacted!"

"Is it so obvious?" Yuigahama Yui tried to look towards the direction of Dong Yunshan as covertly as possible, "This reaction... bad! Dong Yunshan has opened his tail!"

Such a strange description made Yukinoshita Yukino subconsciously look in the direction of Higashi Yunshan.

I noticed that maybe the topic of fitness was being discussed, Dong Yunshan took off his coat and was showing his strong arm muscles to others.

Yukinoshita Yukino looked for a long time, but didn't notice the feathers behind Azuma Yunshan spreading out. "What do you mean by spreading out?"

"Show yourself off like a peacock spreading its feathers," Hikigaya Komachi explained. "For example, talk about your achievements, show off your talents, flex your muscles... Suddenly doing these things means there's someone of the opposite sex around who's interested, and it's an attempt to exude your charm."

"Metaphor." Yukinoshita Yukino stared at the direction of Azuma Yunshan. Seeing that they seemed to be talking about something interesting and were laughing heartily, "So that's how it is... No wonder."

"Xue-no!" Yuigahama Yui pulled Yukinoshita Yukino's sleeve and reminded her, "Don't stare at me so obviously, or you'll be found out—"

Yuigahama Yui noticed that Azuma Yunshan's eyes turned to her before she said half of the words, "Hurry, hide quickly."

"As students, we're here to study. And he's still doing things unrelated to studying a week before the exam." Yukinoshita Yukino had no intention of hiding. "He's the one who should be hiding."

Hearing her say that...Yuigahama Yui and Hikigaya Komachi wanted to hide even more.

Seeing Azuma Yunshan walking towards the self-service water bar, Yukinoshita Yukino drank the remaining drink in her cup, picked up the empty cup and walked over.

Volume 3: End of Spring Break: Chapter 54: The Real Target

"Oh oh oh oh oh!" Yuigahama Yui looked at Yukinoshita Yukino's back, surprise in her eyes, and patted Hikigaya Komachi's arm excitedly, "Xiao Yukino is out!"

"She's still unhappy after all..." Hikigaya Komachi murmured, "What should she do?"

"Needless to say?" Yuigahama Yui gestured, "Just grab Dongyun's ears and tell him to behave himself and distinguish between work and life."

"Do you think it's possible?"

"...That's right." Yuigahama Yui rested her chin on her hand, "Then what should we do?"

Hikigaya Komachi imitated her and rested her chin on her hand: "You'll see it soon."

"Huh?" Yuigahama Yui saw Yukinoshita Yukino standing in front of the beverage machine, with no intention of greeting Azuma Yunshan at all. "Are you pretending not to see it? But you saw it just now, right?"

"That's why we have to pretend that Shinonome doesn't exist. Then he will..." Hikigaya Komachi smiled, "As expected."

Higashi Yunshan, who had already walked to a beverage machine, saw Yukinoshita Yukino, picked up the cup and walked towards Yukinoshita Yukino, taking the drink in front of her.

Instead of returning to his seat, Azuma Yunshan stood next to the drink machine, or rather, next to Yukinoshita Yukino and started drinking.

"He should be explaining..." Yuigahama Yui guessed, "but Yukino-chan doesn't seem to be looking at him."

Yukinoshita Yukino stared at the beverage machine, put down the cup and took a drink.

"Are you expressing your dissatisfaction by ignoring me?" Hikigaya Komachi saw Yukinoshita pick up her drink and said a few words to Azuma Yunshan, "Let it sit for a while before replying. Your temper is just right."

"Alright! Let's press on with the victory, and then... Yukino seemed to have given something to Shinonome." Yuigahama Yui widened her eyes in disbelief, "And then she came back?"

"What she gave to Dong Yun seemed to be a napkin." Hikigaya Komachi's eyes were fixed on Dong Yunshan, "He crumpled it up and threw it away!"

Yuigahama Yui was indignant: "How could this happen!"

-

Most family restaurants have self-service water bars.

This is a self-service service for non-alcoholic beverages. Customers need to go to the self-service water bar to choose and take it by themselves. The price is usually around two hundred to four hundred yen, and you can drink as much as you want.

The buffet bar has a full range of drinks, and if you order the drinks together with the main course, side dishes, and desserts, you can enjoy a discount.

Just as Azuma Yunshan was about to take the drink, he turned his head and saw Yukinoshita Yukino not far away.

She was looking carefully at the beverage machine in front of her, holding an empty cup in her right hand and a coin in her left hand, as if she was looking for a place to put the coin in.

Has this young lady never eaten at a buffet before?

Dong Yunshan walked over with the cup and demonstrated in front of her: "Put the copper coins away. You should have paid for it when you ordered. Feel free to drink whatever you want."

Yukinoshita Yukino imitated Azuma Yunshan, put the cup on, adjusted the position, pressed the button solemnly, and saw the drink flow out by itself. Then she nodded with satisfaction: "I see."
