One-Third of the Credit

These two are usually in competition, and given that they are both outstanding girls, it would be strange if they didn't harbor thoughts of surpassing each other.

Perhaps Yukino herself hadn't thought about it in this way, but as time went on, Utaha's attitude and competitiveness towards her became more and more obvious, and Yukino naturally began to have similar thoughts.

It felt like Lu Bu had "cleared the clouds and seen the sun, suddenly gaining enlightenment."

The next step is to replace it.

He thought for a moment and said, "Since you're so motivated, senior, feel free to ask me for help anytime you have any questions."

"I knew you'd say that." Utaha's laughter was melodious on the other end of the phone. "But after thinking about it carefully, I think I'll wait until the new short film starts shooting before I go to Yukino for advice."

Fushimi Makoto understood. "You want to show Yukino through your actions that even if you leave the starting line a little later than her, the one who reaches the finish line first will only be you?"

"I knew I hadn't misjudged you; you always understand my thoughts immediately." Utaha smiled even more happily.

"In that case, I wish you good luck."

Fushimi Makoto did not try to harm Utaha.

Although in his heart, Yukino would always be the one standing the tallest among his peers.

Yukino is exceptionally talented, but she is never content with the status quo. Whenever she has time, she continues to strive for improvement.

Moreover, she has a bit of a perfectionist streak, always wanting to do everything perfectly.

With this kind of personality, coupled with her innate talent for learning, she will only become more and more ambitious and outstanding in the future.

Therefore, even though Utaha is equally talented and full of fighting spirit, Fushimi Makoto doesn't think she can surpass Yukino.

However, given the other party's current enthusiasm, Fushimi Makoto naturally wouldn't want to discourage them.

He was quite curious to see how Utaha would compete in the future.

Are these beautiful girls competing and progressing together?

This scene is just as amusing as their argument.

After hanging up the phone, Fushimi Makoto had already decided to go home and look for the information that night.

The materials he gave Yukino when she first started learning are now being given to Utaha.

He returned to the living room with these thoughts in mind, only to find it deserted, with no lights on in the bedroom or guest room.

Where is Auntie?

The moment a question arose in his mind, his body unconsciously turned around, and his gaze fell on the bathroom.

The bathroom was not only lit, but there was also a clear sound of running water.

Generally speaking, this kind of noise means that someone is taking a shower inside.

But...

The bathroom door is open!

Fushimi Makoto there stunned for a second, then he knew the answer: the aunt must have forgotten to turn it off.

As for whether she would shower without closing the door?

Fushimi Makoto thought the idea was utterly absurd.

In his eyes, this aunt had always been a symbol of calmness and wisdom.

And the other party was extremely rational.

Even if Mrs. Yukinoshita was drunk, Fushimi Makoto felt that she wouldn't forget to close the door.

Therefore, Fushimi Makoto strolled leisurely towards the bathroom.

He had no other ideas; since there was no one inside, and water and electricity cost money anyway, there was no need to deliberately waste them.

Just as he reached the bathroom door, an absurd thought suddenly popped into his head: What if she really had forgotten to close the door?

But the next second, Fushimi Makoto threw away this completely unreliable idea.

"If there are really people inside, I'll eat the table."

Fushimi Makoto shook his head and walked to the bathroom door.

At the same time, his eyes naturally looked inside.

Then, he froze.

I'm awesome!

There really are people inside!

Did she really forget to close the door?

No, her breathing suddenly became erratic.

Her hands, holding the towel, were trembling.

Even so, she still didn't look in his direction.

Fushimi Makoto's extraordinary perception allowed him to analyze the changes in the figure's emotions in the blink of an eye.

It was for this reason that he did not leave immediately, but stood blankly at the door, as if time had stood still at that moment.

Twenty minutes later.

Living room.

Fushimi Makoto sat calmly on the sofa, with Mrs. Yukinoshita and Haruno beside him.

Haruno arrived.

And Mrs. Yukinoshita...

After she changed into her pajamas in the bathroom, she didn't say another word.

But she appeared very composed on the surface, even calmly drinking tea.

If Fushimi Makoto hadn't received the new badge, he might have actually been fooled by her.

However, in his heightened perception, Mrs. Yukinoshita's every move was deceptive.

They were all just subtle maneuvers used to cover up their true intentions.

In short: flashy feints.

As for Haruno.

Fushimi Makoto also accurately observed her emotional changes.

If Mrs. Yukinoshita was concealing her shame and excitement, then Haruno were purely curiosity.

"Her thirst for knowledge is at its peak."

Fushimi Makoto's mind kept reminding itself of this.

"Since you're so familiar with Yukino, how about you call me Haruno- nee from now on?" Haruno's smile was very beautiful.

Her facial features are about 80% similar to Yukino's, but her temperament is completely different.

Of course, the two sisters also have completely different body types.

Yukino barren, Haruno a very normal curve.

"Sure." Fushimi Makoto naturally didn't care about such a trivial matter as how he addressed her.

Not to mention he has other things on his mind right now.

Just thinking about it... no, he should say that just glancing at Haruno's side would cause his CPU to instinctively start working at high speed.

After it runs, his brain will tell him a very bold truth.

"I often hear my mother mention you. If it weren't for your recent popularity, I would have been thinking of going to the school to see you." Haruno was unaware of Fushimi Makoto's thoughts; she was still curious.

"Feel free to ask whatever you want to know, Haruno. You're Yukino's older sister, so I won't hide anything from you unless it's something private that's inconvenient to talk about." Fushimi Makoto tried to distract himself and avoid thinking too deeply about the bold truth.

"Eh? You're so generous?" A look of surprise and delight appeared in Haruno's eyes.

She clearly hadn't expected Fushimi Makoto to say that.

But that was exactly the answer she wanted.

"So, what does Haruno- nee want to know?" Fushimi Makoto's eyes remained fixed on Haruno's beautiful face.

"There are so many things I want to know..."

Next, Haruno bombarded Fushimi Makoto with all sorts of questions, from his experience filming the short film to the previous incident involving the gambling sage who was thrown over his shoulder in the mall, and his relationship with Yukino.

Fushimi Makoto answered all of them.

Of course, he still kept some of his private matters to himself.

For example, Yukino said to him many times, "I can't possibly date you."

As a result, the two skipped the dating phase altogether.

For example, the real reason why Yukino and Utaha competed was actually because of him.

The new badge was very useful; Fushimi Makoto easily satisfied Haruno's thirst for knowledge while also ensuring that she didn't notice his concealment.

This resulted in Haruno having a very good impression of him.

During this time, she also said to Mrs. Yukinoshita was seemingly listening quietly, "Now I understand why you and Yukino thought so highly of him. Fushimi is not only generous, but also very sincere."

It's hard for anyone to have a bad impression of a sincere person.

Even the cunning and scheming Haruno.

"I've already said something similar to you," Mrs. Yukinoshita sipped her tea.

You acted so well!

Fushimi Makoto thought to himself, "This is what I'm thinking."

You should know that Mrs. Yukinoshita had been acting ever since she came out of the bathroom, and she was still acting Haruno arrived.

Despite acting for so long, Haruno remained completely unaware.

The aunt's composure and control over her facial expressions are truly impressive!

In the midst of this extremely pleasant conversation, Haruno happily exchanged contact information with Fushimi Makoto.

She said that once Yukino's new short film starts filming, she will frequently visit the set.

"Welcome."

Fushimi Makoto smiled and subtly glanced at the beautiful figure beside him.

As expected, she remained as composed as ever.

No wonder she's an auntie!

Chapter 220 One-third of the credit

Fushimi Makoto left at 8 PM.

Mrs. Yukinoshita didn't get up; instead, Haruno escorted him to the door.

"It's a pity it's a bit late today, otherwise we could have continued chatting," Haruno said with a smile.

Fushimi Makoto could sense that her words were sincere.

During their earlier casual conversation in the living room, he had accurately sensed and controlled Haruno's feelings.

Therefore, in Haruno's eyes, Fushimi Makoto was someone with whom she "had never met, but we were incredibly compatible."

Fushimi Makoto also used this tactic when he first approached Utaha.

But he didn't have that extraordinary perception back then, so although Utaha was also delighted, she didn't have the same feeling of regret for not meeting him sooner as Haruno.

"There will be other opportunities in the future," Fushimi Makoto said calmly.

To everyone's surprise, Haruno chuckled playfully, "When is 'later'?"

Fushimi Makoto feigned surprise. "Haruno- nee in such a hurry?"

"Don't be nervous, I was just joking~"

Haruno smiled broadly; it was clear she was genuinely happy.
