[Haruno has always been worried about inheriting the family business. For the past 20 years, she has been acting as the heir worthy of the name Yukinoshita.
So I have never lived through youth, and I have no hope for my future.]
And looking now, she is indeed an actor named Yukino Haruno.
And classmate Oreki is watching her acting.
And Haruno.
"..." Haruno.
Her lips opened slightly.
In fact, she was a little surprised inside.
Because the behavior of classmate Oreki is a little different from everyone she has met in the past.
I always feel... as if it's easy to see through her acting skills.
Classmate Oreki could feel that Haruno was looking at him with prying eyes.
Probably because he felt that her disguise didn't work on him.
Of course it doesn't work, classmate Oreki knows very well what Ms. Haruno is like.
In addition, although Haruno is powerful, it is still a little far away from the little angel Kikyou Kushida.
Kikyou Kushida Little Angel forces herself to look easy-going and does not include any elements of acting.
And Haruno has an element of acting here, observe the target, and then estimate how to act.
That is, with a touch of people-pleasing.
But now, Haruno deliberately didn't speak, just to take care of his emotions and want to get information from him.
"First of all, I am not your enemy." Student Oreki said directly.
"Not... the enemy..."
"Um... what does this mean?"
Haruno didn't understand what he meant.
"Huh--"
Classmate Oreki sighed softly, "It seems that I was not informed." Classmate Oreki said.
???
This made Haruno even more confused.
Then I found classmate Oreki with his hands on the table.
"Let me introduce myself again," said classmate Oreki. "I am from Sobhu High School, and in order to pursue a certain female teacher and save her future, I skipped a grade and came to the university."
"And who do you think this female teacher is?"
"..." Haruno.
Haruno glanced at classmate Oreki, "Are you talking about Shizuka?"
"Yes, it's Shizuka."
"If it wasn't Shizuka, why would I skip a level?"
"Because she has this value." said classmate Oreki.
"..." Haruno.
"..." Haruno.
Haruno gently opened his pupils, and then looked at classmate Oreki.
If she understood the name Shizuka correctly, then it should be called Shizuka Hiratsuka.
Shizuka, Shizuka, these were her female teachers in high school, and they were also what she called [friends].
It's someone she can talk to.
Then, this Shizuka was actually being pursued crazily by the junior student Oreki in front of him?
Haruno became friends with Shizuka Hiratsuka because Shizuka Hiratsuka was the first person to see through her.
At the same time, I sympathize with her, but I don't say empty words like "I will help you."
Because both she and Shizuka know that given Haruno's family situation, Haruno can only do this.
So Shizuka's choice is to guard her silently. When Haruno can't stand it anymore, she is willing to have a drink with her and listen to her worries and complaints.
It can be said that it is someone you can talk to.
Haruno is under great pressure.
She couldn't tell her parents about her situation, otherwise the responsibility would be placed on her sister.
At the same time, she has been following this pattern for 20 years. If she resists, doesn't it mean that her 20 years of carefulness and using a hypocritical mask version to act out the life of a good kid that everyone likes are all in vain?

"I really didn't expect that--"
"Oreki classmate actually wants to pursue Shizuka."
Haruno chatted.
In fact, she now somewhat trusts classmate Oreki.
Because if classmate Oreki is not together with Shizuka, and then learns about her side of things from Shizuka, otherwise it would be impossible to realize what kind of person she is in an instant.
So.
In fact, was she also sympathized with by this classmate Oreki?
In other words, a boy younger than me knew everything.
"..."
I feel a little bit ashamed.
"Shizuka is very cute." Oreki opened the ketchup brought by the clerk.
Dip some with fries.
But didn't eat it.
"So I think it's normal that I would like her."
"She is pretty and smells good. Especially since her current grade is not the same as mine." said classmate Oreki.
But the expression of Yukino Haruno sitting opposite him changed slightly.
Because.
"..." No.
Haruno took back what she just said. Just now she thought that classmate Oreki might have noticed Shizuka's gentle and beautiful side and fell in love with her.
But.
What is called Shizuka's grade is not the same as yours.
Are you the big sister type?
"So you are now..." Haruno decided to get a little more information.
"We already have an intimate relationship." said classmate Oreki.
"..." Haruno.
Is it too late?
Ah.
The weakness of Shizuka is this. She is of marriageable age or even older, so she has little resistance to marriage.
That's why you get fooled so easily.
"So you proposed to her?" Haruno asked again.
"Proposed." Classmate Oreki nodded.
"..." Haruno.
Sure enough.
Shizuka can't resist the temptation of marriage.
Eh.
Haruno felt that he had been studying hard for the exam these days, and then he didn't contact Shizuka much, so he didn't even know that this happened to Shizuka, and he felt regretful.
"Hello, your meal has been delivered--"
At this time, the waiter also delivered the order of Haruno.
But Haruno was rubbing her temples with her white hands. She felt very troubled.
Because she felt that she didn't have the only friend who could save her.
Shizuka fell too fast!
But that doesn't mean it's completely impossible.
Because if the target is very good, it is also possible.
And classmate Oreki skipped a grade.
At the same time, in order to avoid developing a teacher-student relationship with Shizuka, I jumped directly to the next level. There are only a handful of men who can be so considerate.
Moreover, the other party is a special admissions student, and the school will not allow it if there are no very good prospects. Therefore, the other party's painting skills should have been evaluated, and it should not be difficult to make a living based on this in the future.
At the same time.
Clinical Medicine's major is also chosen at will.
Even if you don't develop your career in painting in the future, you can still become a medical student.
The prospect of becoming a doctor is quite good.
It goes well with Shizuka.
Just this kind of person.
Are you really going to be nice to Shizuka?
It's just that Shizuka can tell this Mr. Oreki everything about her, which means that he should be relatively reliable.
Think so.
She heard the other person's voice.
"Don't talk about my side of things."
"Actually, I chose Clinical Medicine's major because of you, classmate Yukino Haruno."
"Me?" Haruno blinked.
"On the one hand, Shizuka's friend is you."
"So I hope I can get some Shizuka preferences from you and give her a surprise."
Oh.
Then she heard classmate Oreki continue. "Next is Miss Yukino Haruno. I want to know about your family and your parents. So please help me connect."
"Matchmaking?"
Haruno is puzzled.
"Know my parents?"
