The Sky Is Falling
Although she knew her mother was joking, she still found the statement terrifying.
I don't want to become a muscle woman!
However, her idea is unfair.
After all, Yumiko figure.
"It looks like Miura- kun has been maintaining a high level of extra training." Yukino's voice suddenly drew everyone's attention.
Mrs. Yukinoshita. Yukinoshita and the others could understand, Eriri Spencer Sawamura asked in surprise, "You mean the schedule?"
Yukino nodded slightly. "Fushimi made a schedule for all his friends, Miura -kun must have one too."
Eriri Spencer Sawamura suddenly realized, "No wonder she's so good, it's because she's been practicing extra hard..."
As she spoke, she suddenly became excited. "My physical fitness has actually improved too. I even had a test done before, and my speed and strength have improved a lot compared to before."
Yukino smiled and said, "Then please keep it up; progress is a good thing."
"...I understand." Eriri Spencer Sawamura's face fell.
It wasn't that she disliked sports, but Yukino's words reminded her of that strange schedule from before.
After a week, the schedule became useless, and I regained control of my body.
But... why do I actually miss that feeling a little?
Is it because my progress is visible to the naked eye, like an experience bar leveling up in a game?
Eriri Spencer Sawamura thought to herself with mixed feelings. She even wanted another copy of the magical plan, but she had no idea where it came from.
She initially thought it was a gift from her mother, but when she asked later, the mother had no idea about it.
Without a schedule, I'm not as self-disciplined.
Eriri Spencer Sawamura touched her phone with a bitter face. She wanted to Fushimi Makoto again; only he was on the same page with her.
"Wait, what's this plan you're talking about?" Sawamura Sayuri listened intently for a while, only to find that she couldn't understand a word of it.
Haruno also looked puzzled. "Does the schedule mean exactly what it says? But isn't it all about self-discipline to complete? Why do you guys sound like the schedule plays a big part in that?"
Seeing her sister like this, Yukino suddenly felt happy for some reason.
Her mindset was one of "I have what you don't."
With this good feeling in her heart, the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up. "Simply put, Fushimi has created a very scientific and detailed plan for us. From what he said, he put a lot of effort into it, taking into account each of our physical conditions."
"Huh? He's that good?" Sawamura Sayuri and Haruno were both stunned.
Mrs. Yukinoshita also became interested. "So, he specifically studied and analyzed the physical qualities of all of you?"
"That must be it, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to create a plan that perfectly matches ours," Yukino replied.
"So you've also felt your own progress?" Haruno's curiosity was piqued.
Yukino was about to answer, but then she suddenly thought of Fushimi Makoto. If it were him, he would definitely show it through his actions, since that would be more convincing and would save time explaining.
So she looked around and picked up a palm-sized stone, placing it in front of her.
Then, under everyone's astonished and uncertain gazes, Yukino raised her fair and delicate hand and easily chopped it down.
With a crisp crack, the stone split in two on the spot.
"My progress is about this much," Yukino said casually, wiping the dust off her hands with a handkerchief.
"Amazing!" Eriri Spencer Sawamura's eyes lit up.
Yukino can do this, it means she can do it too!
Fushimi wasn't lying to me that day after all; I can become the Sawamura Family's Supergirl too!
"It's split open like that?" Haruno picked up the stone in astonishment and examined it, becoming more and more shocked the more he looked at it.
Mrs. Yukinoshita and Sawamura Sayuri were also very surprised.
Breaking a rock with bare hands isn't usually surprising, but Yukino's movements were so effortless, it seemed like she barely used any force, yet she managed to split the rock.
This is a big problem!
Just as Yukino was about to say something, she suddenly felt a warmth in her palm as Sawamura Sayuri gripped her hand tightly.
When she looked up, she saw the beautiful woman looking intently at her and saying, "Could you have Makoto make me the same kind of schedule?"
Yukino was taken aback. "Is Aunt Sayuri going to get stronger too?"
"It's not about getting stronger, it's about making progress," Sawamura Sayuri corrected.
"I want one too." Haruno threw away the stone in her hand, her eyes revealing no falsehood in her expression.
Yukino instinctively looked at her mother.
Sure enough, the mother also had a hesitant expression, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.
Everyone likes progress.
Especially the kind of progress that is clearly visible.
Yukino thought for a moment, but she couldn't make the decision for Fushimi Makoto either. "Based on my speculation, the reason Fushimi was able to create such a perfect plan is because he analyzed our physical data."
"I'm fine." Haruno smiled charmingly, and whether intentionally or unintentionally, she even puffed out her ample chest. "If he wants to study me, then let him go ahead and do it."
Mrs. Yukinoshita and Sawamura Sayuri immediately shut up.
Although they didn't mind Fushimi Makoto collecting their physical data, given their status, they couldn't say these things aloud.
Yukino understood this as well, and immediately said, "I can ask him for you, but I can't guarantee he'll agree."
"Thank you~" Haruno smiled happily.
Eriri Spencer Sawamura, sitting to the side, tilted her head in confusion. Was it just my imagination? Why do I feel like I can sense a sense of intense competition?
Despite not becoming the strongest woman due to Yumiko's outstanding performance, Nakano Yotsuba was not discouraged at all.
"She's really amazing, incredibly amazing!"
Facing the news department's interview camera, Nakano Yotsuba said with admiration.
But when she met with Fushimi Makoto in private, she had a fiercely competitive expression. "I will surpass him next year, Fushimi, please wait a little longer, I will strive to become the strongest woman!"
Fushimi Makoto was quite surprised by this. He hadn't expected that Yumiko's desire to catch up with him would ignite Nakano Yotsuba's passion as well.
Etc.
If it were Yotsuba, she probably wouldn't be so confident.
Fushimi Makoto realized the key point. Just then, he sensed that Nino and the others were looking in his direction. Looking at Yotsuba's spirited little expression, he tentatively asked, "What did Nino and the others say to you earlier?"
"Eh? As expected of Fushimi, he guessed it so quickly."
Nakano Yotsuba's excited expression vanished instantly, and she reverted to her innocent and adorable girl-next-door persona.
She said somewhat awkwardly, "Actually, I was very frustrated at first because I didn't meet your expectations... But Nino told me that if it doesn't work this year, then next year. She said you would definitely think the same way, so she told me to stay firm and then tell you what I just said."
"As expected of Nino, she truly possesses leadership qualities," Fushimi Makoto praised.
Nakano Yotsuba nodded her little head happily. "Ichika said something similar before."
"So..." Fushimi Makoto raised his hand and pressed down on Nakano Yotsuba's smooth hair, "You have to do your best, Yotsuba. I'll always be watching you."
These words seemed to give Nakano Yotsuba a tremendous boost; her face instantly flushed red with excitement, and her watery eyes blazed with fervent light. "Yes, Captain!"
As the afternoon match was nearing its end, Yukino suddenly found Fushimi Makoto.
She never liked procrastination, so before Fushimi Makoto could even ask, she relayed her three older sisters' requests.
Fushimi Makoto's first thought after hearing this was: Is Yukino trying to get me business?
And there were three of them at once!
However, Yukino's theory that she obtained the body data through observation and analysis is clearly impossible.
Fushimi Makoto doesn't need to go through all that trouble now. He can instantly understand Yukino's size and physical attributes simply by extending his senses over her.
"Did they say when it would start? Collecting body data does require close observation, and I need to make some preparations in advance," Fushimi Makoto asked.
Yukino: "My sister said the sooner the better. Sayuri didn't say anything, but I could tell she was very anxious too."
As for the mother?
She knew her mother's temperament; her mother didn't like younger generations talking about her behind her back, so she didn't say anything.
But she knew that Fushimi Makoto would understand what she meant.
"Let's do it tonight then. The sports festival ends tomorrow, and I already participated in the high jump competition today, so I'm not busy right now."
"Okay, I'll tell them later."
After Yukino finished speaking, she suddenly seemed to think of something and looked at him with some curiosity, "You set a new record in the first round of the high jump competition today. Did you really just want to show off?"
"Didn't I tell you? I did it to unlock an achievement. Years later, when you all reminisce about the school's sports festival, there will definitely be a scene of me doing the high jump."
"... You're saying weird things again."
At 6:30 p. m., Fushimi Makoto and his group sat in the spacious living room of the Sawamura Family.
Dinner had already been eaten, of course; as a guest, Fushimi Makoto didn't need to cook.
Although Sawamura Sayuri really wanted to taste his cooking again, it was still impolite for a guest to cook for her.
"Can we begin now?"
A smile graced Haruno's beautiful face, which bore a striking resemblance to Yukino's. She was clearly suppressing her inner anticipation, but as she spoke, her tone inevitably shifted towards the end.
Sawamura Sayuri and Mrs. Yukinoshita suddenly stood up. "Then we'll leave this place to you. We have something to discuss and will come back later."
Yukino lowered her head, feeling an urge to laugh.
The two elders clearly wanted it, but they still tried to maintain their composure and made excuses to leave. The scene was truly comical.
After all, collecting body data sounds like it involves physical contact.
To allow Fushimi Makoto to have physical contact with him in front of a junior?
Even someone as self-proclaimed young as Sawamura Sayuri couldn't do something like this.
So they simply left and decided to discuss what to do first.
Once they left, Haruno stopped restraining himself.
Her bright smile seemed to linger forever in Fushimi Makoto's eyes, her beautiful eyes curving into two lovely crescent moons. "Makoto, I don't mind physical contact~ which means you can do whatever you want."
She glanced quickly at her younger sister as she spoke.
However, Yukino unmoved.
Because she knew that such jokes wouldn't work on Fushimi Makoto.
As expected, under the sisters' watchful eyes, Fushimi Makoto calmly picked up a pen and paper, saying to Haruno, "Miss Haruno, please stand at attention... Your posture isn't up to standard. Do you understand what it means to stand at attention? If you continue like this, I'll really have to forcibly restrain you!"
Haruno's smile gradually froze.
What's it like to feel like you're being subjected to military training by your elders?
And Yukino.
She was secretly pleased again.
The smile in her eyes just wouldn't fade.
If she were wearing the cat ear headband that Fushimi Makoto likes right now, her cat ears would definitely be shaking adorably with joy.
Chapter 326 The Sky Has Collapsed (Bonus Chapter 1)
"Miss Haruno, please do a few jumps in place."
"Miss Haruno, please do some stretching exercises next."
"Miss Haruno..."
This is the strange scene that unfolded in the living room.
It was as if Haruno had really been Fushimi Makoto. At first, she was just joking around with a mischievous attitude, but gradually her feelings became complicated, and finally she fell completely silent and didn't say a word.
With a pen and paper in hand, Fushimi Makoto would meticulously analyze the data on the paper whenever Haruno completed a task.
