Staying Up Late Is Bad for You; I Recommend an All-Nighter / Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining

Before we knew it, dusk had fallen.

Shuya had stopped holding Yukino a long time ago, because she was really about to explode, so Shuya let her go.

Although Shuya and she had some indescribable things happen between them, Yukino still had no desire to date him.

In Yukino's words, she didn't sense Shuya's true feelings.

Shuya listened but didn't understand.

Anyway, let's leave it at that for now. Yukino can't escape anyway.

After letting Yukino, Shuya spent the whole afternoon reading a novel on her bed. To keep an eye on him and prevent him from touching anything in the room, Yukino played on the computer next to him and watched cat videos online.

The two entertained themselves in their own ways.

Accompanied by Kirino's occasional strange laughter, the two spent a relatively quiet time together.

Seeing that it was almost time, Yukino asked Shuya to go to the supermarket with her to buy groceries. After returning home, she cooked dinner, including Kirino's portion.

After preparing dinner, Kirino quickly ate her meal and then went back to making yogurt.

Shuya ate slowly, while Yukino chatted with him casually, clearly in a somber mood.

Shuya understands Yukino's personality very well.

After he did that to her, she didn't chase him away and was still willing to chat, which shows that she has a very high level of affection for him.

After dinner, Shuya stayed at Yukino's house, keeping an eye on Kirino's condition while reading a novel on his bed.

The bed smelled wonderfully of Yukino, Shuya felt very relaxed lying down.

After reading the novel for a while, Shuya suddenly received a call from his Little Senior Sister.

Under Yukino's mocking gaze, he sat up straight in a flash, answering his Little Senior Sister's questions with a fawning attitude, making Little Senior Sister feel embarrassed and quickly hanging up the phone.

"It's rare to see you so humble."

Yukino, of course, wouldn't let this opportunity to criticize slip by.

"Hmph."

Shuya said, "Little Senior Sister is different."

"Really."

Yukino did not give chase, but nodded in agreement.

Shuya mentioned "difference," he wasn't trying to romanticize the person he liked; rather, he was simply referring to the fact that his Little Senior Sister's music genuinely had a special, comforting effect.

After Rena died, Shuya was able to get through the difficult time thanks to his Little Senior Sister's comfort. He went to Little Senior Sister many times afterward to heal his mind and body, and now he has a severe case of Little Senior Sister dependency.

Yukino was well aware of this, after all, her Little Senior Sister was one of only two people who could subdue Shuya.

As for who the other one is... it's clearly Li Shuhong's physical suppression.

Shuya reiterated his assurance over the phone that he would definitely complete the mission, but took no further action after hanging up.

Until 2 a. m.

Shuya was reading a novel, and Yukino, who was watching a video, both noticed Kirino making a new move next door.

She decided to take a break.

Shuya closed his book and said, "I'm going out for a bit."

"..."

Yukino watched him walk out of the room in silence.

Shuya opened the door to the room next door.

"... Shuya- senpai?"

Kirino looked back in surprise.

"Kirino- chan, do you want to rest?"

Shuya smiled kindly.

"Yeah... I plan to play again tomorrow."

Kirino confused.

"Kirino- chan, I told you, I'd let you have your fun to the point of exhaustion."

"Yes, you said that?"

Kirino looked at his smile and felt a very bad premonition.

So...

Shuya shouted, "Screw sleeping, get up and party!"

He pointed a finger at Kirino's back, and a stream of pure energy flowed through her, invigorating Kirino body.

Kirino felt her sleepiness vanish. "Oh! I feel like I've been enhanced!"

"Yes, go deliver it quickly!"

Encouraged by Shuya, Kirino started playing games again.

Shuya returned to Yukino's room.

Yukino sighed, "Do we really have to do this? I'm afraid she won't be able to handle it."

Kirino hadn't practiced martial arts, didn't know, but Yukino knew that Kirino's feeling of becoming more energetic was just an illusion.

The energy that Shuya sent into Kirino's body stimulated her physical form, bringing a brief invigorating effect. However, it had no effect on her mental state; it was merely her illusion.

It's actually similar to Red Bull in effect, but the gas is all-natural and harmless.

Kirino will soon realize that something is wrong.

Shuya's plan was simple and brutal: keep injecting energy to force Kirino to keep playing.

Play until you're completely exhausted, until you're no longer interested.

When she no longer wants to play, her wish to freely make adult games should be granted, thus allowing her to revert back to her original state.

I believe that after this incident, Kirino will be reluctant to touch adult games for quite some time.

But she is completely unaware of Shuya's plans and naively continues playing with her adult games.

Two hours later, Kirino felt sleepy again, and even felt a little nauseous.

She planned to go to bed.

But Shuya arrived as scheduled.

Kirino turned around stiffly, her eyes filled with utter helplessness.

Shuya whispered the devil's voice, "Honey, staying up late is bad for your health. We recommend staying up all night."

Kirino finally understood what Shuya meant by "playing to the death."

This may be a game, but it's not something to be taken lightly.

Shuya simply sat down on the bed to supervise Kirino's gaming. Whenever she drifted off and felt sleepy, he would poke her back with a finger to stimulate her body.

Yukino didn't come over; she went straight to sleep.

The only sound in the house was Kirino playing video games.

She played the game blankly, her mind gradually becoming numb.

She didn't realize it was dawn until rays of sunlight streamed in through the window.

"What are you looking at? Keep playing!"

Shuya was leisurely reading a novel.

Kirino found her head turning back on its own, looking at the screen again.

She can only move her fingers and can click the mouse.

Kirino was only free after Yukino and made breakfast.

Shuya got out of bed and said, "Come out and wash up and eat, then continue playing games."

"Eh..."

Hearing this irrefutable tone, Kirino dared not utter a sound.

She chickened out and went out to wash up.

Shuya stepped out of the living room and immediately smelled the aroma of food.

Yukino brought breakfast to the table, looked at him calmly, and said, "Keep an eye on her. Don't let me come home from school to find her at the hospital."

You can trust me to handle things.

Shuya replied.

Yukino shook her head. "I hope so."

"Oh, by the way, when you go to school, please ask for leave for me. I don't want to deal with the Gorilla's questions anymore."

"... I'll help you this once."

Yukino realized that he was dealing with Kirino's case and wasn't taking leave without a reason, so she agreed.

Soon, Kirino, looking ethereal, came out. She greeted Yukino weakly, ate a few bites, and then couldn't eat anymore.

The lack of sleep made her feel very uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Shuya urged her to go play games, while he happily ate his breakfast.

When it was almost time, Yukino went to school.

"I'm going out, don't touch my things."

She gave a warning before leaving.

"Oh."

The Shuya, was dealt with carelessly.

Yukino had no choice but to storm out in a huff.

Section 489, Chapter 454: A Blessing in Disguise

Shuya didn't have any particular thoughts about Yukino's things.

Shuya had seen women's underwear before, but compared to plain fabric, he found Yukino's reaction more interesting.

He only wanted to flirt with her from the beginning.

Shuya's next activity was to continuously buff Kirino.

It wasn't until the afternoon, when Yukino returned from her club activities early, that she saw Kirino, rushing towards her:

"Yukino- senpai! You're finally back!"

She cried out excitedly, "Please help me persuade Shuya- senpai! I'm dying!"

"It's alright, I'm monitoring your body, you won't die."

Shuya speak, Yukino grabbed Kirino and dragged her back to her room, pinning her to a chair and pointing at the screen menacingly, saying, "Play! Now play!"

"Waaaaah..."

Kirino had no choice but to continue playing along.

Kirino was finally released by Shuya at dinner time.
