Come to My House

Shuya pointed to his own house.

"???"

Yuigahama had no idea that Shuya's house was so close.

How many minutes have you been walking?

She had no idea that Shuya had secretly used Strange Arts to bring her here.

It would be too troublesome to persuade her to come slowly, Shuya brought her here directly.

Shuya said, "Since you're already here, come in. I won't do anything to you."

"This, this..."

"Alright, alright, come in."

Yuigahama was half- Shuya -coaxed into Shuya's house.

Shuya's fame and good looks prevented her from being too wary.

Yuigahama felt that he knew plenty of beautiful women, so there was no need for him to make a move on his ordinary female classmate.

She also knew that with Shuya's strength, she wouldn't be able to resist if it came down to a direct confrontation...

Yuigahama followed Shuya into the living room.

A beautiful girl is already waiting.

"Shuya- senpai, and... hello Yui Yuigahama."

"Nice to meet you, I'm Aragaki Ayase. You can just call me Ayase."

Ayase- chan bowed to Yuigahama and introduced herself.

"Ah! I recognize you!"

Yuigahama recognized Ayase, knowing that she was one of the models featured in the fashion magazine that Shuya worked with.

"So cute..."

Yuigahama looked at Ayase with envy.

Ayase laughed, "Senpai Yuigahama is cute too."

"Hehehe, is that so? By the way, Ayase, you can just call me by my name."

That silly girl, Dango, has already let her guard down.

"Alright, Yui- senpai. Then let's not delay, let's begin practicing right away."

Ayase.

"Practice, exercise?"

Yuigahama looked completely bewildered.

"Yes... wait, hasn't Shuya- senpai explained it to you yet?"

"I didn't have time; I was too busy pulling her here."

Shuya shrugged, then said to Yuigahama, "Yui- chan, let's continue our previous conversation."

"Let me put it this way, Yukino- chan likes hardworking people, but she's not very good at expressing genuine gratitude. If you want to give her cookies, I suggest you put in as much effort as possible."

"So, Shuya- senpai contacted me beforehand and asked me to help Yui -senpai practice."

Ayase smiled, "Senpai's feelings for Yukino- senpai... scratch that, friendship. Please let me help too."

Even Yuigahama was a little slow on the uptake, she realized the implication behind Shuya and Ayase's words. She puffed out her cheeks and said, "Um, I don't have those kinds of feelings for Yukinoshita! It's just gratitude!"

"I understand, I understand."

"Yes, I understand."

Shuya and Ayase exchanged knowing smiles.

Yuigahama recognized that smile.

She saw it from a friend.

It's an emoji used to pair people up.

Shuya said, "Alright, enough Yui -chat. Good luck, Yui-chan! I'll be there for you. Let's do our best from now on!"

"Yui, Yui-senpai!"

Seya sincerely encouraged her.

"Oh oh!"

By the time Yuigahama, she was already wearing an apron and kneading dough.

These were things that Shuya had privately messaged Ayase to ask her to buy when Hikigaya was giving his theory.

In fact, she didn't make a reservation today; she came specifically to help out.

Accompanied by Yuigahama Ayase, Yuigahama made several batches of cookies.

She progressed slowly, but each batch tasted better than the last.

"Yui- senpai, please continue."

"... that."

Yuigahama hesitated before saying to the two, "Actually, Shu-chan and Ayase- chan, you helped me because of Yukinoshita- san, right?"

"Yui- senpai..."

Ayase smiled at Yuigahama and said, "It's not entirely like that. Senpai is so cute, I'd be happy to help."

Yuigahama chuckled, "Haha, Ayase- chan, I feel like I've heard that line somewhere before?"

Shuya chuckled; Ayase had picked up some of his bad habits after hanging out with him for so long.

However, Ayase- chan herself has a flirtatious relationship with Kirino, and she's definitely a long-time fan of yuri (lesbian) relationships.

With Ayase's help and Shuya's encouragement, Yuigahama practiced until 6:30.

She was so exhausted that she felt like she couldn't even lift her arms anymore.

That's all for today.

Shuya clasped his hands together.

"Ugh, finally over... I'm exhausted..."

Yuigahama knelt exaggeratedly on the ground, her upper body leaning on the chair.

"You did a great job! Keep it up!"

"Thank you... but what are we going to do with so many cookies? We can't finish them all, are we? It would be such a waste to throw them away."

"Don't worry, I'll share with my friends."

"Oh..."

Yuigahama Road.

Shuya and asked, "Are you staying for dinner? If not, I'll take you home."

"I'd better go back; it wouldn't be good to bother you any longer."

"Huh? But I bought enough food for three people. Why don't you stay and eat with us, senpai?"

Ayase was in a difficult position.

Yuigahama hesitated for a moment, but then apologized and declined.

"I'm sorry, my mom should be preparing my dinner now."

"Then I'll take you home."

Seya said, "Then Shuya- senpai, why don't you take Yui- senpai home? I'll cook and wait for you."

"Good."

Shuya nodded and waved to Yuigahama, "Come on, I'll take you."

"No need to deliver it, it's not that late yet."

"Let me take you. After all, I'm the one who brought you back, so of course I have to take responsibility."

"Well... thank you."

After Yuigahama, she packed her things and went out with Shuya.

Shuya but decided not to take her flying directly. Instead, he used his energy to pull her up and leaped onto the roof.

"Ah!"

Yuigahama screamed.

"Calm down, which direction does your house face?"

"How can I calm down...?"

Yuigahama wiped away her cold sweat. "You, you really do know martial arts."

"This information isn't new anymore."

"I was still quite surprised when I actually saw it..."

Yuigahama was quick to learn; she recognized the directions and gave them directions, Shuya got her home within ten minutes.

He was very self-respecting and didn't touch her at all, nor would he appear with her directly at his doorstep, for fear of causing misunderstandings.

Section 348, Page 330: Don't talk to me too much in class.

When they arrived near Yuigahama's house, Shuya dropped her off.

She thanked Shuya repeatedly, and Shuya watched her enter the house before returning home.

"Ayase- chan, thank you for your help today."

After returning home, Shuya thanked Ayase, who was still cooking.

"You're welcome. I'm only doing this out of consideration for Yukino- senpai's... friendship."

Ayase smiled and said, "I hope Yukino- senpai can make some friends."

"You also think Yui- chan is pretty good?"

"Yes, I can tell you're a good person."

"And I always felt that she and Yukino- chan were a good match."

Shuya scratched his head.

"Hoo hoo."

Ayase's enigmatic smile.

Shuya said, "Then I'll trouble you again tomorrow."

Ayase said apologetically, "I have a shoot tomorrow, so I might not be able to make it..."

"That's fine, I'll have Mai- chan teach me tomorrow. Anyway, that girl is even more lazy than me."

"Mai- Mai?!"

Ayase- chan exclaimed in surprise, "To be able to make sweets with Mai- senpai... I'll finish my work as quickly as possible tomorrow and come right away!"

"Huh? You like Mai- chan that much?"

Shuya was puzzled.

"Yes, I'm a huge fan of Mai."

Ayase remained solemn.

"Which do you like, Kirino- chan or Mai- chan?"

Ayase immediately replied, "Of course it's Kirino."
