She and Shuya had always avoided bringing up this topic in front of Ayase.

Otherwise, she would definitely keep asking questions.

Kyousuke said he returned it to Kirino- chan, so everything should be fine now.

"That's good."

After asking her question, Yukino took out her novel and started reading.

Shuya then started scrolling through his phone.

I liked Haruno's dinner photo, retweeted Hyakka Jiang's selfie, and then turned off Twitter.

Want to play games?

"... Alright then."

When the two were playing until after 1 a. m., Kyousuke suddenly called.

"Hey, what's up now?"

"Shuya..."

Kyousuke sounded confused, "Kirino just asked me to go to her room."

"I guess I'll just go... Oh, it's already this late."

Yukino frowned and said, "Kyousuke- kun, may I ask you something? You didn't do anything, did you?"

"Of course I didn't... Wait, why are you here too?!"

Kyousuke was shocked.

Yukino: "It's just playing games."

Kyousuke retorted, "What kind of game is this? An adult game?!"

"... Kyousuke, I know you can't see this, but the temperature around Yukino- san is dropping drastically right now, you know?"

"I was wrong."

Kyousuke obeyed in an instant.

So what did she want to talk to you about?

"They said it was... a life consultation?"

Yukino immediately said, "Excuse my bluntness, but the fact that Kirino wanted to discuss this with you is something that needs to be discussed."

Am I really that unreliable?!

"Have."

Yukino happily.

"Alright, stop arguing." Shuya waved his hand helplessly, telling Yukino to be quiet for a while.

"And then what? Why did you call?"

"Kirino talked to me for a long time, then forced a eroge (adult game) about doing bad things to your sister into my hands, and ordered me to complete it... What should I do?"

Shuya said, "Um... before answering you, I need to stop Yukino from calling the police."

"You must stop her! Damn it! I'm the victim!"

Shuya stopped Yukino's hand from reaching for her phone.

Soft.

Yukino glared at Shuya, but he didn't care. Instead, he took the opportunity to squeeze her fingertips.

"Well, did you stop it?!"

Unaware of the situation, Kyousuke anxiously asked a question.

"It was stopped."

Shuya gave him a look, implying that if he didn't want to be exposed, he should remain silent.

Yukino received the look and nodded slightly.

Then she coldly sneered, "Inoue- kun, please let go of my hand."

She neither accepted threats nor feared being found out.

"Now that you've revealed it, I won't keep it secret anymore."

"Let go!"

Shuya grabbed her hand directly, Yukino tried hard to shake it off.

"Hey, I'm already so troubled, and you two still want to do a couple's comedy routine?"

Kyousuke Tou Iron Tunnel.

"Um?"

Yukino's expression turned hostile. "What do you mean?"

"..."

Kyousuke remained silent.

Shuya let go of Yukino's hand and said, "What's so difficult about playing adult games? There are tons of guides online. You just need to remember to save when you encounter a choice, and that's basically it."

"How am I supposed to express my feelings? Discussing my feelings about playing games with my sister—what kind of weird game is this?"

Kyousuke posed a difficult question.

"This is outside my area of expertise; I've never even considered such a bizarre way of playing."

"I didn't want to either!"

He let out a mournful cry.

"Okay. Well, anyway, if you really don't understand how to play, come over tomorrow and I'll teach you—though there's not much to teach you."

"Really? Great!"

"Hmm, I remember your school isn't far. If you're free after school, you can come to our club. It's part of our club activities."

Yukino looked reluctant. "Wait, how come I didn't know the Service Club had expanded to other schools?"

She actually didn't want them to do erotica in the clubroom.

That's too much to bear.

"Now you'll know."

"It's settled then! I'll come find you tomorrow!"

Kyousuke, however, ignored their argument and, fearing rejection from Yukino, quickly hung up the phone.

"Snort."

Since that's the case, Yukino couldn't say anything.

She said, "I'm not helping with this; you handle it yourself."

Shuya nodded, seemingly unconcerned.

"Also, I haven't forgiven you for touching my hand when we were in the middle of things."

"You've already kissed, why worry about that?"

"I didn't do it voluntarily."

Yukino retorted unhappily.

Then she stopped arguing with Shuya and silently picked up the controller.

Shuya continued playing games with her.

As they fought, the two of them drifted off to sleep in the relaxed atmosphere.

When I woke up again, it was already morning.

Shuya moved, Yukino also opened her eyes in alarm.

"... I actually fell asleep."

She yawned.

"There's only one reason why a girl can fall asleep in a boy's room: she feels safe and secure there."

Shuya said something.

Yukino neither refuted nor agreed.

Are you exercising today too?

"I practice for a while almost every day."

"Okay, let's go together."

"Good."

Yukino had just woken up, wasn't fully awake yet, and her words weren't laced with malice.

After washing up, Shuya and she practiced together in the garden, just like yesterday.

After finishing their morning practice, Shuya and Yukino spent the same morning as yesterday before heading off to school.

They walked slowly on their way to school.

Shuya was in a good mood and smiled at the women around him who were secretly watching him on his way to school or work.

"Ahhh! Shu-chan!"

He smiled at me!

"It's right for me!"

"Shu-chan!"

They erupted in a chaotic cacophony of screams.

Yukino suddenly clicked her tongue.

"I hope you can be a little more self-aware and not smile at people indiscriminately."

She twirled the ends of her hair with her fingers.

"Why? Should I cry instead of smiling at my fans? That would be even worse; they would have an excuse to approach me."

"You're so narcissistic."

"It's not a matter of narcissism, it's a fact."

Shuya doesn't take pride in this; in fact, it's a very troublesome matter.

But since he knows martial arts and Strange Arts, he's naturally fearless and can roam freely.

After hearing this, Yukino seemed to feel terrible and stopped talking to him.

Shuya smugly believed that she was jealous.

Back in the classroom, he sat back in his corner seat, quietly becoming a handsome young man playing on his phone.

His silence only ended Yuigahama arrived.

"Yah hello, Shu-chan!"

Good morning, Yui- chan.

Shuya smiled slightly.

"Huh, Shu-chan called me by my name in class? Ah... speaking of which, I accidentally called you Shu-chan."

Yuigahama then recalled Shuya's earlier remarks about the female lead.

Shuya shrugged. "I give up. Our relationship's already exposed anyway."
