As a key member of a rising prestigious family, Madam Yukinoshita and her eldest daughter always had many banquets to attend.

Although Yukino was studying abroad before, she still had to contribute to the family when she returned home for holidays.

While she didn't receive much attention and love from her parents, it couldn't be denied that being born into the Yukinoshita Family allowed her to live such a privileged life from childhood to adulthood.

More puzzling to Yukino than this was her mother, who hadn't gotten angry at her from yesterday to today.

This was truly strange!

After her daughter had turned into Blonde Yukino, she could still be somewhat amiable towards her... Could it be that such a terrifying mother had evolved again in the past year?

That evening, Madam Yukinoshita didn't even spend the night at home. Around ten o'clock at night, this impeccably dressed noblewoman, wearing high heels and with her hair in a bun, was about to board a plane to Tokyo.

The previous generation of the Yukinoshita Family had passed it down to Madam Yukinoshita. At that time, the Yukinoshita Family hadn't reached its current scale, and Madam Yukinoshita was just a young lady with little authority. With a young master and a suspicious country, there were many people below who wanted to abscond with the funds.

It was this young Miss Yukinoshita, who was still young at the time, who stepped forward, took charge of the situation, and stabilized it. Afterward, she married Mr. Yukinoshita. These two workaholics then propelled the Yukinoshita Family to a new peak.

Yukino often felt, in a daze, that this lady, who treated work like a battlefield and never slacked off, was like a grown-up version of Haruno Yukinoshita.

They were both so confident and capable, like perfect superheroes.

This strong woman, whose time was measured in seconds, had unexpectedly wasted more than half a day at home yesterday. Yukino didn't dare to flatter herself into thinking it was for her.

Before leaving, Madam Yukinoshita, uncharacteristically, showed a hint of affection to her second daughter, rubbing Yukino's head.

"At tomorrow's banquet, listen carefully to your older sister."

She thought for a moment and then added, "If anything happens, call Mom. No matter what happens, the adults of the Yukinoshita Family will be behind you."

She was probably not a very competent mother, but she wasn't a terrible one either.

It was Saturday again, Earth Day.

On this day, Yukino skillfully changed into her evening gown and got into the sedan with her older sister, Haruno Yukinoshita.

Yukino placed her handbag aside and casually asked, "What is Mom going to Tokyo for this time?"

Haruno Yukinoshita took out her makeup mirror to check her makeup one last time. "There's a charity gala in Tokyo tomorrow. Mom is going ahead to pave the way for the company's expansion into Tokyo."

Yukino scoffed.

"Those hypocritical old women again..."

The Tokyo charity socialite circle, to be honest, those who understand will understand, and those who don't won't get it even if I explain. The interests involved are too great, and I can only say that the water here is very deep, involving many important figures. Most of the detailed information has been deleted online, so I can only say that those who understand will understand, and those who don't can't be helped.

Alright, enough rambling.

It's just a gathering of aging old women showing off their wealth, tax evasion, flaunting young meat, and even showing off beautiful girls.

Haruno laughed, "Hey, hey, hey, you're going to scold Mom if you say that~"

Yukino replied instantly, "Mom is an exception."

Haruno chuckled, "Hoh, Yukino, such double standards~"

This wasn't her being hypocritical. Madam Yukinoshita was solely focused on making money, her lifelong ambition being to elevate the Yukinoshita Family to Japan's Top Tier of Wealthy Families. She truly had no interest in trivial matters.

Although it was a bunch of Filthy socialite circles, Madam Yukinoshita could always leverage their influence to achieve her goals.

It had been over four months since she last saw Haruno. During that time, she had experienced all sorts of unimaginable Absurd Incidents, yet she could still speak to her Older Sister without any reservations. This should have been a cause for happiness.

But for some reason, Yukino felt a subtle Sense of Discrepancy about Haruno now.

Though she hated to admit it, if there was anyone in the world who understood her Older Sister Haruno best, it would undoubtedly be Yukino herself.

At the same time, Haruno also felt a Sense of Discrepancy about Yukino.

Despite sharing the same face and body, Blonde Yukino and Black Hair Yukino were completely different people. When the changes happened to Yukino, even the Yukinoshita couple thought it was just Yukino entering a long-overdue Rebellious Phase.

However, Haruno suspected that her sister's body might have a different Core.

Blonde Yukino was like some Little Beast, baring its fangs and claws. Beneath her Domineering exterior lay too many Emotions on the verge of shattering. She seemed to be afraid of something, as if being driven towards darkness by something.

Her younger sister, Yukino, was a sensitive and proud Little Princess, a ridiculous yet stubborn Righteous Person. She appeared lost and Fragile, but in reality, when faced with a crisis, she had her own Bottom Line and Persistence in her heart.

No matter how terrible the force driving her, she could forge her own path out of the darkness.

Just as Yukino understood Haruno so well, Haruno also understood Yukino.

They were once Close Sisters who grew up together. They understood each other far too well.

That "Yukinoshita" shouldn't be like this.

Yukino's every move, every word, even her silent Posture, were more similar to the sister in her memory than the "Yukinoshita" she knew.

Yukino had been sickly since childhood, like another famous younger sister, she was a Frequent Visitor to the Hospital. She was only brought home from the hospital after she turned two or three.

By then, the Yukinoshita couple was already very busy. Besides the Maid, only young Haruno was at home.

As soon as young Haruno returned home from elementary school, she saw a cute little ball hiding behind the Sofa.

"Wow, you're my sister~"

"So cute, a million times cuter than Fran!"

Fran was Haruno's Dog.

Little Yukino didn't speak, cry, or make a fuss. She remained hidden behind the Sofa.

She was already very stubborn when she was young, and when she got into a dead end, she wouldn't listen to anyone.

Little Haruno was already very cheerful and opinionated back then. She stomped back to her bedroom and piled all her toys, snacks, and beverages in front of little Yukino.

"It's all for you!"

Little Yukino still didn't say anything.

Little Haruno pushed her Fran to Yukino, hesitated, and then decisively said, "Fran is for you too!"

Little Yukino was immediately scared by the dog and cried out, trembling as she crawled off the sofa.

Little Haruno hugged little Yukino as if she had succeeded.

"I've got you!"

"What do you want? Dad and Mom? A box of my dolls? Pretty clothes?"

"Or love from your older sister?"

Her lips, with a milky fragrance, forcefully smacked Yukino's cheek.

As a result, Yukino cried even harder.

Perhaps they were worthy of being sisters, as the two who simultaneously fell into memory and simultaneously pulled themselves out of it coughed lightly in unison when they came to their senses.

The two exchanged a strange glance, Haruno was still smiling, but Yukino snorted coldly and turned her head away.

The Yukinoshita sisters, whose relationship was not good, once had a very good relationship. Yukino was picked up from school by Haruno every day after school during her entire kindergarten period. At that time, Yukino followed behind Haruno every day.

Even Mr. Yukinoshita, who rarely came home, often smiled and teased, seeing the inseparable sisters, asking if Yukino was Haruno's follower~

[I am not!]

Little Yukino at that time, her cheeks puffed up with anger, still hid behind and hugged her older sister's waist.

"Eldest Miss, Second Miss, we've arrived."

The two Yukinoshita sisters gracefully got off the car.

From the entrance to the corridor, to the lounge area, to the spacious banquet hall on the second floor, there were friendly greetings all the way.

"Yoho, Miss Haruno is here too~"

"Good evening, Miss Haruno!"

"Is this your sister? She's so beautiful, just like you~"

The lights glittered, and the wine flowed.

Haruno handled such scenes with practiced ease. She was a natural banquet creature, thriving more when more eyes were focused on her, like a fish in water.

"Good evening, Miss Yagyu. Your necklace today suits you perfectly, it's incomparably beautiful."

"Yes, this is the second daughter of our Yukinoshita family, named Yukino. Please take care of her."

The lady named Yagyu nudged Haruno's shoulder. "Alright, stop putting on that act in front of us."

Another lady, Miss Hananomiya, said with a giggle, "Isn't she the one who cuckolded Miss Shijo? We're not afraid of her."

Haruno's smile grew even more cordial. "I was just worried you might chicken out."

Miss Yagyu swirled the red wine in her glass. "The Shijo family's main business is overseas. If our Yagyu family truly clashes with them, we won't lose."

Miss Suzuki scoffed. "The Shijo family forcibly split from the Shinomiya family. Most of their businesses are stuck overseas and can't return. They're currently in a mess fighting with the Shinomiya Zaibatsu, so how would they have time for other matters? Those people who are causing trouble for Haruno, trying to seek credit, are just extremely stupid."

Miss Hananomiya laughed. "Those flies, I heard they've been causing a lot of trouble for Haruno. Do you want me to help~"

Haruno waved her hand. "No, no, no. I've been pretending to be helpless and hitting a wall for over a month. It was only after a long time that I managed to draw them into the game."

Yukino immediately turned to look at Haruno.

Good heavens, even she was deceived.

She really thought Haruno was in a difficult situation right now!

Miss Yagyu burst out laughing and clinked glasses with Haruno.

"Haruno is such a bad woman."

Miss Hananomiya also feigned a sigh. "So what were those flies thinking, wanting to provoke a bad woman like Haruno who's full of schemes?"

"Give me some face in front of Yukino, are we still good friends?"

Although Yukino wasn't accustomed to this kind of occasion, she still handled it appropriately. After all, she was a daughter of the Yukinoshita family, and she possessed these basic skills.

She wasn't overly enthusiastic nor cold, playing her role as the insignificant younger sister.

When they first heard the name Yukino Yukinoshita, the smiles on the faces of these sophisticated ladies had become somewhat subtle.

Now that the atmosphere was harmonious, Miss Yagyu looked her up and down. "Although you look very much like Haruno, I feel like Little Sister and Haruno are quite different."

Miss Hananomiya leaned in directly. "Little Sister, who has cuckolded half of Japan, are you interested in trying out Big Sister~?"

Miss Suzuki also joked, "Big Sister is much more interesting than childish little boys. Want to try, Little Sister~?"

Yukino: "..."

Haruno gritted her teeth. "I say, when did your tastes change?"

Hana-no-miya said with a giggle, "What can I do? Little Sister is too cute! The moment she walked in, she was the first person I saw."

These were not exaggerated words.

People came and went at this banquet. Under the pile of various expensive cosmetics and custom clothing, under the halo of wealthy family backgrounds and the bonus of confident auras, it was hard to find someone who wasn't good-looking.

But when Yukino Yukinoshita entered, in this bizarre banquet hall, it still felt as if light was truly shining in.

Even without the enhancement of much makeup, this second daughter of the Yukinoshita Family had flawless skin and features. Her skin, like white porcelain, combined with her taciturn expression, made her seem like an expensive, beautiful doll sealed in glass.

But beyond her beauty, she was enveloped in a melancholic sense of alienation, making her seem like a clear, transparent, yet sharp crystal.

Expensive, and fragile.

Honestly, this kind of temperament made one's maternal love surge.

Just as Yukino felt she couldn't cope with these enthusiastic big sisters, the sound of liveliness suddenly came from outside the banquet hall.

She looked up and saw a pretty girl with medium-length light brown hair disheveled on her shoulders, walking in with a smile. She was surrounded by many people, who affectionately and respectfully called her "Miss Shijo" one after another.

This confident, composed, beautiful girl's face, with its aristocratic demeanor, slowly merged with the twin-tailed girl Yukino had seen on the illustrated list of victims.

Maki Shijo.

One of the victims of the blonde-haired Yukinoshita's past romantic entanglements.

Miss Shijo saw the conspicuous group around Haruno Yukinoshita. Smiling, she picked up the juice from a waiter's hand and remotely toasted them.

Haruno Yukinoshita also raised her red wine and smiled, returning the toast to Miss Shijo.

The pleasant atmosphere between the two disappointed many who had wanted to watch the fun.

"That Miss Shijo probably didn't even recognize you."
